I was planning to root my HTC Incredible, but then I got updated to 2.3.4, and I don't know if unrevoked is compatible with this version. If it is, great!

I'm fairly certain that Unrevoked does not yet work with Gingerbread.
There is a thread titled "root 2.3.4,downgrade,and s-off" by Scotty1223 in the General section detailing how to root gingerbread 2.3.4. This was done with the original gingerbread update so I don't know if it holds true for the re-released update from this week.
Presently, Unrevoked OFFICIALLY only roots froyo (aka 2.2).
Thanks I have found the guide, so I will try it and see if it works.

ATM my phone is completely stock, no roots have ever been preformed on it. If I was to use the root method that has surfaced a few days ago, are their ways to return my phone back to stock with no signs of having ever been rooted and if so, would somebody been kind to create a guide for this method.
Yea i was trying to see about this myself. I'm sure as long as you didn't use "unrevoked forever" to u could just download the latest update off of the htc website and flash that to your phone. But even with unrevoked forever I'm sure there's a fix out there.

Sure. Run the latest ruu and then flash the S-on package. You'll be unrooted stock.

I got that leaked 2.2 ruu(the one to fix the .3 to .6 from xda poji) I would run that and then s-on package and be all good to go?

If you've rooted, you can run the .6 RUU and it should take you back to stock, with 2 caveats:
* If you used Toast's part 2 to NAND unlock, you'll have to try and get your PRI updated, which is hit and miss
* If you used Unrevoked + Unrevoked Forever, you just have to flash the new Unrevoked Forever S-ON package
Do whichever of those is appropriate, then use this RUU:

Looked for an answer before posting. When you use revoked on Dinc, after being rooted, do I have to use unrevoked forever to keep rooted?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
It depends on which Unrevoked you used. 3.1 would only root the phone. You'd have to use Forever to get s-off, which lets you root your phone on any future ROMs. 3.2 will do both. Pretty much every ROM you'd download from here is going to be rooted for you, with the exception of an RUU (or a rom.zip pulled from one), so it's not something to worry about unless you really want to go back to stock for something.
I rooted with unrevoked 3.2 so I guess I'm covered if I decide to use a different ROM. Thanks

just so you know everyone of the guides is using Unrevoked forever to unlock nand there is nothing better right now since the unlock they use is actually as they say forever
Yea there's nothing wrong with the newer unrevoked. Full nand.

Unrevoked is the easiest way
I just rooted my evo like a week ago.. with unrevoked.. and its working great.. i think its the easiest way to root it. just install the drivers first. really easy..
GOOD LUCK
Thanks to everyone! Then i just probably'll use unrevoked!
Same here, I've used unrevoked for some time and no problems

I have froyo on my rooted droid incredible. I only used unrevoked3 so i guess i have s-on. When i update to gingerbread via OTA update. How can i keep these features without having to wait for a new root method to come. Please be specific im a total noob.
From what I know, once you do the ota if it even shows up with your root, itl break root and pull just have to wait for the new method to come out. Or just don't update until the new method is present.

If you use the Unrevoke then your phone should be fully rooted with S-Off and if you get the OTA dont install it otherwise you will have to either wait for a root method to be found or downgrade to froyo 2.2 o get root again... Ill say get s-off and then just flash a sense 3.0 rom... like Uber Kingdom RSL6 is the best option out there...
Hope I help...
in all likely hood the day it comes out a rooted version will likely be posted here and if you dont feel like waiting there is a version of the leaked ota here already from what i understand it is mostly stable and most of the stuff works but it is probably going to be tweaked alot more before being pushed out....
I'm unsure what they flash on the refurbs?
Can I expect something compatible with Unrevoked3?
If it does come with 2.3.x can I just follow the 'return to stock'
process to get to a level compatible with Unrevoked?
Thanks
Better hope it doesn't have 2.3.4 update .

It is more than likley going to have 2.3.4 on it as running an ruu is part of the refurb process. If it does you will need to follow this guide to regain root and s-off. This is the only method i have ever seen to root an incredible on 2.3.4.

It came with 2.2 installed (SLCD version)
Kind of surprised me too.
I ran Unrevoked3 (supplying a recovery.img for CWMR 5.0.2.0)
and it worked as expected. I then installed Stock+ and am configuring
now.
