[Q] help with installing rom

Hey guys,
I know this has been asked several times and I apologize for this but I need help with S-OFFing/installing a rom on my IncS.
I am using hboot 2.00
The problem is I dont understand it all... I see Radio this? RUU That? And its totally confused me.
I am looking to install 'Android Revolution HD' so any advice would be helpful.
I have written down my radio number just in case but as I said, its confused me so I dont know what to do.

You need to read and research so that these terms are not confusing.
Since you are on HBOOT 2.00, you need to check out the HTCDEV unlocking procedure at HTCDEV.com. Also you need to get familiar with using adb.exe and Fastboot.exe.
With the newer HTC ROMs, the days of a simple one-click root option are no longer available at the moment. An educated user you must become...
Could you link me to some threads that I will need to read? Sorry for asking stupid questions.

A great place to start is read the sticky posts in the forums.
Yes you can use Android Revolution but you will also need to use EXT4 recovery instead of CWM recovery as that is a requirement of the ROM.

Nope, I have no need to! Read carefully and judge for yourself. Not sure if one can say that flashing is risk free.

You will have to go to the HTCDEV.com site and unlock your bootloader in order to root now that you have the ICS update.

If you just want to root your stock ROM, then you can simply flash su-3.0.7.zip from recovery mode instead of flashing a custom, rooted ROM.

take otas until you get to 4.4 then look at the sticky in the general forum. come on. you didn't even take 1 second to read anything clearly. the first or second thread in the general forum is a how to for everything you could possibly want.
Really? missed it. I didnt read General since most how to roots are in Q&A. Relax bro. Its not my first rodeo lol And it doesnt even say OTA to 4.4 it says if you have this, then that, or this then that...

After you unlock and install TWRP reboot and TWRP will ask if you want to root. Say yes. When you get booted back up install supersu from the market.
thanks man.
