No NAND unlock yet, but now we don't need to fiddle with SD cards and curse at the phone/wall/ceiling for hours while trying to get root on the stubborn Incredibles. Thank you so much Unrevoked!
unrevoked 3
How do I use unrevoked 3? Does it let you tether? I need step by step instructions. It's not like the first one that you do thru the phone so I'm clueless. Help someone.
its easy just download it and extract... find the html file and intall the drivers from it then run the EXE and it does everything
I spent a lot of time on this rooting thing and eventually gave up. And then I saw the recent message regarding the release of Unrevoked v3.0. I installed it and it worked perfectly! I am grateful to finally have root! I would like to thank you guys so much for your time and effort !
How???
how do you find and install the html file??
Edit: never mind i got it
unrevoked 3
yojoe600,
your explanation was too short. where is the html? can you break it down for me like i'm 6...lol. the last root was for dummies this seems complicated. do i use my computer with my evo hooked to it to do this root?

Thread moved to General.
Just read their tweet gobto their website and download their program(if u go read their tweet it will direct u to their website and download the easy root for your OS) make sure that there are no programs interfering with your usb port.) Good luck its really easy.

I was in the middle of unrevoked 3 and it said on on my computer waiting for hboot. I also couldn't find the hboot option on my phone recovery menus. What should I do ?

4G Speeds in EVO Still Available Under Unrevoked3?
Does the root that's provided through Unrevoked3 impact the 4G connectivity on the Evo? I know that was an issue with other root methods.
Also, is there a way to safely revert back to a 'stock' build (i.e., non-root) in case there are unforeseen issues with Unrevoked3? Thanks, folks!
Wifi Tether
I just used the Unrevoked3 root/reflash it worked great! 30 seconds had the phone done!..I did a nandroid backup and downloaded Titanium Backup, Titanium works great also! now, I download Wireless Tether from the market, installed and ran the app, it asked for su permission and was granted, the app was running, I turned wifi "on" on the laptop and it found AndroidTether ssid, i connected, all I get is a full signal with an yellow exclamation, no internet access! what am I doing wrong? I am using windows 7 Ultimate version.
You need a different kernel to run the app "wifi tether". You can get a custom kernel by downloading a rom like Sky Raider.
Got it working..., thank you!

Can't get Unrevoked 3 to work
I get beyond installing the driver and I get to a recovery screen but....an Adobe Flash window pops up on the computer indicating the script is running slow do I want to stop and I say no. About this time, Unrevoked shoots a message that it has stopped communicating with the phone and I should start over.
Although this is a great method, it would be great if someone would list the steps that this process is using so that maybe from where I lost communications, I can just finish. Or tell me what to do to get the Flash error message to stop coming up.
Thanks for any help!

Can someone help me with this.
I was able to root my incredible after two weeks of trying but it seems only half done. Let me explain.
when I reboot back to phone I have the SU app. I down loaded wifi tether, Titanium backup and Joicedefender. All need root.
Wifi tether says I have root but it can't start. Looking at the log it can't configure several options and thus it fails.
Juicedefender says I have root but it can't configure the APN's which need SU permissions to work.
Titanium Backup actually says right out it can't get root.
The su app has they apps in it from where they ask for permission and it shows the permission as granted.
So basically it looks like only half is working.
I also cinfigured the wifi for "N:" and I did that in "recovery" and it seems fine. It just looks like something isn't right once you reboot.
I've unrooted and done it several times a=but each time this is what I end up with.
Any ideas?
in titanium click problems and download a new busybox...see if that helps
It downloaded it on its own and yes that fixed ut
It looks like tje first 3 apps i tried are the only ones that
Gave me problems
Go figure. It all works great now
Thanks
hey i am going to be getting an incredible soon, and i am going to flash it to cricket. i've flashed other devices to cricket like the htc tp, and the tp2, but this will be the first time flashing an android phone. i understand it needs to be rooted so that the apps work and stuff, can you give me some info on how to root the droid? anything would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Instructions can be found in the Development thread here at xda.
ok i started rooting my phone with unrevoked 3 as i was told here on the site. it loaded and said it found my evo and rebooted my phone. then i scroll down to hboot usb and hit the power button and my phone does nothing. on my screen a pop up comes up saying, "windows needs to install driver software for your android 1.0" and i do not have a disc nor can i find these files. meanwhile my phone wont turn off or on. have i bricked my device? someone please help me or walk me thru please. i dont have insurance!
Do you get that message on the screen of your phone?
Are you sure you properly installed the hboot drivers as instructed in the unrevoked 3 instructions.
1. Windows users MUST install the HBOOT drivers for this to work:

It should be an app that you already have if you're rooted. Someone else chime in if I'm wrong about that one.
it must not be rooted bc when i go to sprint hotspot. it recognizes my evo's wifi signal on my computer like it did before, but it still only connects as local and doesnt allow internet access. does anyone have any advice as to how i can check if the unrevoked root worked or not. thanks so much

Download "Terminal Emulator". It's a free app. Open it up and type SU and then enter. You should see this if you are rooted--> #
yes when i did that it said something is requesting super user and i hit allow. and at that point a # sign came back.

Even with root, you cannot use the Sprint hotspot app for free tethering. You have to use Android Wireless Tether that's available in the market. Android Wireless Tether needs root in order to work its magic.
So I got the Froyo update and it killed my ability to tether and root.
Seriously, Im even having trouble with WIRED tethering. Its not working and wont root.
Please point me in the direction of some noob friendly step by step instructions for installing a custom rom that is tethering friendly, along with any info for simply getting wired or wireless tethering to work after the Froyo update?
You shouldn't have installed the update.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Yeah I know. Is there nothing I can do now?
They say they can bring you back to 2.1 if you take it to the shop. Does the update do anything that prevents installing ROMs? When they bring you back to 2.1, will that fix whatever they did or is it in that version now too?
Why can't you root?
Because I accepted the update and the update killed root and tethering for me? I guess there was a way to upgrade without accepting that update.
z4root wont work, and also it says that the OS no longer has the drivers to support the free wireless tethering apps.
......Did you read the OP?
So how am I supposed to root if I cant even use clockwork to install new roms without root access? Am I totally ****ed? Should I just return this phone and get one from Verizon?
Yes I read the OP but the 2.2.1 update doesn't prevent rooting again. If it did, I wouldn't be rooted right now.
I'm not sure what you did or didn't do, but the one click method works.
hes never been one clicked. he only used z4root.

z4root is hokey. you need to use the oneclick root. its really simple.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770388
use this thred. it is for real root, not z4. also, the drivers are installed on your computer, not your phone.

Thank you for something helpful finally.
That makes sense. I tried installing it on my phone. Thank you for noticing that.
You know, if you wrote these instructions for noobs it would really help....For example, when we are dealing with not 1 but 2 devices, it might be helpful to describe which device is doing what. One minute I am doing something with the phone and the next its just "install this"....Dumb it down a bit, like you are talking to people who dont know anything about anything.
Anyway, thanks. Im going to try this now.

Don't feel too bad. I had to read that stuff several times before even deciding whether I should try it.
It keeps saying phone is not connected, even though it says USB-storage is enabled and I can access the files on my phone.
Don't click on mass storage.....and turn on usb debugging

The NON-One click solution seems doable but complicated, and I dont really know what I am doing.
Im thinking about paying somebody to root the phone properly. One person advertised in the SF Bay Area that I know of.

Thanks for the support. Im going to try this at least for another day or so before giving up.
OK. Now it says rage against the cage is missing.
The file is clearly there, but VLC media player wants to open it instead of anything useful.
do you use any sort of anti virus? it will remove things from the ragagainstthecage exploit. disable you antivirus for a few minutes and redownload the the rootpackage. im not saying thats what the problem is, im just saying antivirus clashes with the root method.
A little effort goes a long way. Getting root is easy for the epic. Install the samsung drivers, turn on usb debuging on phone, extract the oneclick folder and run the "run.bat" file and let it do its thing.

I had that problem also and it turned out that I was trying to run it from a networked drive. I had to unzip the file to my computer desktop then run the program from there before it worked properly.
If you check out this thread there is a how to video i made to root and flash a rom. Check it out, I think it will help you out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009997
make sure correct samsung drivers are installed on your computer (32 or 64)
download and extract once click root to your computer
Enable usb debugging on your phone (settings - applications - development - usb debugging)
Plug phone into computer
Run run.bat, wait, and enjoy.
This is a tutorial for people who have trouble rooting with z4root and get a half rooted phone after clicking 'permanent root' in the first place.
1. Download z4root from 4shared. (Latest version is 1.3 I believe?)
2. install the z4root apk.
3. Open z4root, make sure usb debugging is on. (Settings>applications>development>usb debugging)
4. Click the temporary root button.
5. Once the temporary root completes, click the permanent root button.
6. When the permanent root completes and says 'rebooting..', pull your battery and boot up the phone.
That's it. You're now rooted. Install clockworkmod recovery through Rom Manager from the market or download the recovery.img and zip it in a HERCIMG.zip and install it via hboot (which is my personal preference)
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA Premium App
The first time I used z4root I was really frustrated when it got stuck on the "rebooting" and it seemed to take several tries. The key is to open your app drawer after rooting. If you see Superuser, you're good.
Also, just want to point out that the HERCIMG.zip installing only works if you're S-OFF. In any case, if you're S-OFF you don't even have to go through the root process, anyway
i downloaded it and but it refuse to let me install the apk ... a lil help please

Also to add... quit recommending flashing through rom manager. Its horrible and too many things go wrong. ALWAYS flash in recovery and bootloader. Will solve a ton of flash problems.

Will this method work for all HTC Hero radios?
Does anyone know if this will work on an HTC Sprint Hero with a radio of 2.42.02.10.29 Mar/2010,16:02:39
I have read that people have had issues. I was also told that I would need to update my phone to FROYO. Is that true?
All I want to do is move stuff to my SD card to free up space.
Also, if I need to, can I unroot? Thanks!!

Ok people, this is not my first post, although it says it is. I used to be on here and a few other sites as ldawg214. I've done some things but alas I quit for awhile and can't remember my old password (so if any mods can help me there that would be cool.) But the reason for this post is that I'm trying to get a custom rom on my mytouch 4g with 2.3.4 Gingerbread. I know I need to downgrade to froyo using adb but the files fre3vo and misc_version_01 are just blank data files. I don't know if they are supposed to be like that but everything I've searched for on this is at least 3 years old. I've gone ahead and tried adb but it always just tells me the the file or directory doesn't exist. Does anyone know if this method still works?
