"Step 5: Plug your phone into the computer via USB, Make sure that the connection type in the Notification Pull-Down Bar is "Charge Only", not "Disk Drive" or else this won't work.
If your computer asks you to restart after the new drivers were installed, do that now.
Once ready, type these commands in cmd prompt from your adb tools directory.
Code:
adb push unrevoked-forever.zip /sdcard/
adb push flash_image /data/local/

first off..if u need help ( im not gonna be that GUY to tell u SEARCH and post in the RIGHT forums) please post your stats and info...what type of root are you trying to do...what are your hardware specs...are you currently 2.1 or 2.2? not everyone rooted the same ways....and sometimes different hardware/software you gotta use different root steps
he is 2.2
If he was 2.1 he probably wont be using this method, there are easier ways for 2.1!!

what happened when you tried to get temproot with zergrush?
was the phone in charge only mode? It needs be to write a backup file to the sdcard.
the < waiting for device > error is because the fastboot driver is not installed or there is contention with some program.
i missed a step; updated code above:
prerequisite: adb and fastboot fully working.

Temproot with zergrush said that it was successful, phone is on charge only mode.
looks like fastboot doesn't seem to be working, I have it installed but I'll have to get to the bottom of this.
Any way for me to test if fastboot is working easily?

It means its not working on any hboot other than 0.97
I saw the tool tweeted by AlpharevX. I wasn't sure if it would work for Inc2. I am already rooted, but thank you for writing a guide for us!!!!

so this is a legitimate way to root the .98 dinc2?? is it restore able to stock or is it permanent? thanks

You, Sir, are Incredible squared!!(No pun intended ) Do you realize how many searches and web pages I went through in vain before coming to this workaround. Awesome, to say the least. Thanks ever so much for this write up, it is greatly appreciated, and a beer or two (donation) will be coming your way Friday.
I had to get a replacement for my rooted DINC2, and wouldn't you know it, they sent me out one with the 0.98 bootloader. I thought all hope was lost, well, at least until revolutionary found an exploit for the 0.98. This has helped tremendously.
Thanks again ever so much,

Hi guys,
After a lot of trouble (I will not mention them but it was a long pain for me and my desire!) I've finally unbricked my phone BUT usb doesn't work anymore.
I learn that it's called usb-brick.
Sadly, Exhausted from this fight with my device, I've mistakenly installed RUU from htc with gingerbread. And with the new bootloader 1.02.0001.
Problem: I have not find any method to root the phone without the need of usb link with the installed rom.
I hoped to do it when I read about Gingerbreak but infortunatly, it doesn't work with htc version of GB.
Moreover, because the exploit of revolutionary is not known I can not exploit it directly on the phone.
So, I need root for usb unbrick, but I need usb for having root :'(
Is there a way to root my device without needing this usb link?
(Of course, I can access fastboot usb.)
Have anyone an idea?
I know, it's a tricky question... But I have really no idea what to do...
Thanks,
Dvad'
My problem is solved if I can become s-off.
Do I really need a rom with usb connection working in order to S-off my devices?
Fastboot via USB isn't enough? I tried with revolutionary says "waiting for device" forever.
Try following bortak's Troubleshooting Guide

Do this:
-extract this on ur computer (its a "portable" version of adb)
-install this widget from the market, it allow to use adb over wifi (without cable)
-try this local root exploit by revolutionary (its work even on 2.3)
after u get temp root, use the flash_image method to flash the misc partition (as for every guide for usb brick fix)
EDIT: Sorry the widget on the market requires root to work..hmm
send it to htc repair, tell they after the upgrade with their 2.3.3 ruu, ur usb stopped working..maybe u get free repair under warranty
My problem is solved!
In fact andQlimax were right! The idea is to run adb with a wifi connection.
Wifi over adb needs root. I don't understand why because this method doesn't need root:
1° Type this In android terminal. it configure the phone to run adb over tcp.
setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
stop adbd
start adbd

2°Connect your htc on a wifi network
3° on the pc run:

You can access adb shell, have Temp root with zergRush, and flash your mtd0.img.

I've got this exact problem, but I can't get the WiFi ADB to work. I've got the official Gingerbread RUU installed and the USB is dead outside of fastboot. The terminal on the phone accepts the commands without issue and connecting to WiFi is fine, but my PC just won't find it for some reason. Ideas? I don't fancy an out-of-warranty repair.

Nope, nothing like that is even installed on my PC at the moment. adb devices gives me "List of devices attached" and then an empty line. Is the terminal on the phone meant to return anything when you enter above commands? For me, it simply goes to an empty line when enter the command and doesn't state whether or not is was successful.

well, after searching this on internet seems that to be able to do this:
setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
stop adbd
start adbd
you need root...so I don't know how the previous user, davmoi, managed to do that..
so in my opinion there is no way to use adb over wifi without root..and there is no way to root the desire with gb 2.3.3 without adb..and without root there is no way to restore usb brick..
call htc and say they that after the 2.3.3 update ur usb is gone..(as u was just flashing their ruu, u should get repair under warranty)

Pretty much what I figured.
I've spoken to HTC and apparently they consider use of the 2.3.3 update to void the warranty as they've put up several warnings and such on the website... which is pretty crap. I'm guessing it won't be too much work for them to just re-flash it though. As long as I can make this phone last until MSM8960 chips hit the market, I'm happy. Never using Amon Ra again though.
Cant enable adb-WIFI connection. List of devices is empty. Think u need root
Need solution without root!
I have no bill (EBay..) to send it to HTC.
Strange, I swear I was not rooted when I used these command lines. (Superuser and titanium was saying that.And it was on a stock 2.3 rom so....
I simply enter them in Android terminal emulator with a user shell.
Can you ping your phone on your wifi network from your computer?
Dvad'
Edit: I think that if we needed root the phone would say "operation not permitted" when you enter the command. The problem seems to be elsewhere.

ur phone was rooted, that commands requires root permission
Maybe, but in that case, I was able to root a completly stock Gingerbread RUU without adb... And without knowing it!
:/
And if it is the case I can not say how, because I have done a lot of tries with my phone, and I don't remember all of them..

I could establish wifi connection on GB 2.3.3, HBoot 1.02, not rootet and s-on as described! ADB Shell worked fine. But: when I try to launch command "flash_image mtd0.img" the permission is denied! In ADB Shell on PC I have the "#" instead of the "$". On phone in Terminal Emulator I have only "$"!
ok so i got the leaked ICS flashed on my device and I really like it!
so my question to you all is "what is next?" I am going to want to use cyanogen roms for this when he gets it out so what can I do to get ready to further prepare for that. Like I said all i did was flash ICS and lost root like supposed to. I have not gone in and added bootloader or nothing like that as I am not sure what to do first.
thanks in advance!

This is for your PC. You do not necessarily need the android sdk for it to work. Just place the recovery image in a folder with adb.exe and fastboot.exe, open up a command prompt, then navigate to that folder.

FIXED COMMANDS HAD A COMMON MISTAKES
Hi, I am a developer from the " HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE " My Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065615 and I am still a newbie at this developing thing.. So with this being said I am not resposable for anything that could or may happen.*
Now I'm this TUTORIAL I will be providing the links and the instructions on how to proceed on the rooting process
*Requirments*:
-Android SDK - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
-HTC drivers -*http://www.htc.com/us/support/
-The Su .zip - attachment
-And.... The HTC One Xv of course.
STEPS:
1. On your computer make sure you have adb access ( usually just install android sdk )
2. Make sure you have HTC drivers installed ( remove HTC sync after the installment )
3. With that being said download the attachment file ( I downloaded the SU from*http://androidsu.com/superuser/ )
4. To makes matter safer your gonna need to Temp Root, download this : http://uploaded.net/file/h44f6vni
5.Once downloaded, unzip it to C:\Root. Navigate to the folder in the command Prompt by typing *please follow directions CLEARLY
- *cd c:\Root\stuff
- *adb devices
- *adb restore fakebackup.ab
DO NOT click OK to the restore on the device just yet! Now type:
- *adb shell "while ! ln -s
/data/local.prop /data/data/com.android.settings/a/file99; do
:; done"
(errors will appear, ignore) Accept the restore on the device, then type:
-adb reboot
(At this time, you are temprooted, and the phone UI will be in an unusable state, with temproot shell.) After reboot type:
- adb shell
Verify that the prompt is "#" (meaning root) or "$" (meaning normal user). If it's not "#", please start over. At this point, you can optionally do this ONLY if you want to revert changes:
- rm /data/local.prop
- exit
- adb reboot
Close cmd and start a new one then type
- adb devices
- adb install /system/apps/superuser.apk
- adb push su /system/bin or try adb push su /system/bin/su
6. - adb reboot
7. reboot twice, and if this don't work then please leave a comment and I will explain a new way.
ATTENTION
2nd way to try to root
1. On your computer make sure you have adb access ( usually just install android sdk )
2. Make sure you have HTC drivers installed ( remove HTC sync after the installment )
3. With that being said download the attachment file ( I downloaded the SU from*http://androidsu.com/superuser/ )
4.read carefully
5. create a folder were the superuser.apk and Su file is and name it system and inside that make a bin folder and place the Su file in the bin folder
6.Go to the folder were you extracted root folder in the last root alternative
7.Open cmd in that folder and make sure to extract the files ( superuser.apk and Su file to the root of the root folder )
8.Type : adb devices
9. Type: adb shell
10. Type: adb install ( locate were apk is on your pc.... Here is an Example of what ide put: adb install c:/root/nameOf app.apk , then press enter )
11. Type: adb push su /system/xbin or try adb push su /system/xbin/su or try adb push system/xbin/su /system/xbin/su
12. Use the following command to add the correct permissions to the su binary on the device adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
13. Adb reboot

Not working
So after we spent all that time I thought we should update people that at least for me this doesn't seem to work, even when we get the UI to break and not show anything there's still no root access. For anyone that does this and breaks the UI, mine seems to come back after locking and unlocking the bootloader. The following commands will get you back to a good state:
Reboot into fastboot mode
Make sure you have the fastboot and Unlock_code.bin (you get that from HTC dev website, you probably already have it) files in the same directory and:
fastboot oem lock
Device reboots, go back to fastboot
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
To unlock it again, then it should restart and be factory reset, which works for me to get it functional again. Hope that helps.

Reboot into fastboot mode
Make sure you have the fastboot and Unlock_code.bin (you get that from HTC dev website, you probably already have it) files in the same directory and:
fastboot oem lock
Device reboots, go back to fastboot
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
To unlock it again, then it should restart and be factory reset, which works for me to get it functional again. Hope that helps.

Me and you will work on finding a way

but there is no support for unlocking the bootloader in htc dev , how did you do it ??
Both methods will not work.
1st method is designed for the Droid Incredible 4G LTE, not this phone.
2nd method requires to be rooted before you can even push files to the system folder.

To unlock the bootloader is easy, its like any other htc. Go to htc dev site and choose "all other supported devices" and follow the guide. It'll give you the file to fastboot flash to unlock. We're just working on getting root now. HTC definitely did something different with this phone because none of the other methods seem to work. Seems like there are some smart dedicated people working with us so please be patient and keep a watch on this thread!

I tried to help my friend before he brought it back his htc to [email protected] cuz he bricked his phone. I unlocked bootloader and tried to flash recovery with HTC ONE V recovery thinking it would be similar. It did brick my phone with a warning on boot though i flashed the recovery again with the recovery in sdk platform tools and no longer brick. I know this might not be useful though i think u can flash the recovery with different recovery's till u find one that works with htc one v x just use htc models. Also the ruu is out where is the link ?

I wish that were true lol. I cant seem to get the ruu to run all the way even on an xp machine. I think once it finished sending but then errored out right after.
I have flashed a bunch of random recoveries and nothing seems to work, but none have bricked my phone, my recovery just doesn't work. If someone could decrypt the rom.zip from the ruu that would be awesome and we could make custom recovery from that right?
Ruu:

If that doesnt work (looks like its not there), i have already extracted the encrypted rom.zip and put it on my web server here:

I know this is old and not needed anymore since you're putting up root tomorrow, but I wanted to close this with yes, I did re-lock, and it kind of almost worked, like it finished sending the file, but then errored out with some other bs. No woory now though, I am back to fully stock unlocked and will test your root tomorrow if it's up then. Thanks again jmz, great work!
So... how do I get the UI working again? I'm stuck with an unusable UI ._. !

Whats wrong?
None of the methods described on the main post work and I got stuck on the unusable UI, I google how to do a factory reset and now it's working again.
Thanks.
Also, is there a way to root this thing?
