How do I root android 1.6?

I have android 1.6 and have been trying to root my device with no success
-I downloaded the rc29, unzipped and placed dreaimg.nbh to the root of sd
-restart holding camera button but it wont let me flash it from there
any help will be greatly appreciated and thanks in advanced and sorry for being such a neewb

you gotta hold camera and power but pretty sure you are doing that and hmmm try several different links for the rc29 nbh file or you can try downgrading to cupcake the downgrading to rc29.
you might have to wipe too not so sure though

yeah Ive done all that but no luck
When I go into bootloader it doesn't show the gray screen it has the white screen with the android skating on the bottom, it doesn't give me the option to flash the dreaimg.nbh file
thanks for your input though

find a non rooted cupcake 1.5 file then rename to update.zip and flash it in recovery then apply the dreaming rc29 file

If you're gonna flash a 1.5 cupcake update, than you shouldn't need to downgrade to RC29 w/ DREAIMG.nbh, you should be able to use flashrec to flash cyanogen's recovery image from CRB43 or CRC1

Sorry, sounded like he just wanted to get root, and I know from experience 1click dosn't work in 1.6, however after testing 1.6 I was able to use DREAIMG.nbh, to downgrade and regain root, just offering up suggestions

well i guess you should try to downgrade to 1.5 then do 1 click root if you want but i would suggest the long way

I'm using a HardSPL and I just loaded put DREAIMG.nbh on a sdcard and booted up using camera+power and it seemed to load my file fine Pasing....[DREAIMG.nbh] etc, etc, etc, the you can press action to start the update, did you format your sdcard to fat32, unzip file and place DREAIMG.nbh on the root of the card spelled that way???
If that still isn't working you may be able to use a cupcake update.zip file and boot into recovery with home+power to apply the update zip and try using FlashRec from their, any of the 1 click method guides in this forum could explain that in a little more detail

ok guys i finally got it to work, thank for you help!!

Unrevoked forever + radio update

Can radios be flashed with UF at anytime now with an update.zip?
Also where is a zip file for the 2.15 radio or is there anyone willing to share? It's not the same as the evo's is it?
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk

To flash:
1. Place PB31IMG.zip to root of SD card
2. Power down phone
3. Press volume down and power at same time
4. It will ask to update...press volume UP for yes
5. It will ask for reboot...press volume UP for yes
Once done...enjoy.

i thought with S-OFF, we can flash radio with CWM? also, do i just rename the radio OTA to PB31IMG(.zip)?
with s-off, i can flash the radio anytime i want with any rom i want? without going back to the unroot stock rom?

It already saves it as PB31IMG.zip....so just move it to root and go on with process.

That's for the splash and does not update radio. I've installed that and the update.zip and still have 2.05

He said the thread, not the wiki.

I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong, i have the pb31img.zip(radio update) on root of sd did the whole power down and power on with volume(down) and when i get to hboot it has
fastboot
recovery
clear storage
simlock
after 2 seconds or so it does this:
sd checking...
loading...pb31diag.zip
no image
loading...pb31diag.nbh
no image or wrong image
loading...pb31img.zip
no image
loading...pb31img.nbh
no image or wrong image
so does anyone know what the problem is?

Make sure the sdcard is formatted as fat32 and that the zip name is exactly "PB32IMG.zip", exact casing and make sure also that its not .zip.zip

OK i just reformatted the sd card to FAT32 and the file i downloaded was PB31IMG, i don't have an extra .zip, that's common mistake for me to do so it was first thing to check. ok so that fixed it. i must not have had it formatted correctly, its whatever it was stock
edit: mrozzeh and the rest of the unrevoked team, i would like to say thank you, and thanks for the personal help too.

Anytime. (10 characters blah)

Hold the optical pad and the power button...not the vol down key and give it a shot

Radio update isn't working for me. Saved PB31IMG.zip to the root of my FAT32formatted SD card, rebooted, it found the PB31IMG.zip file, went though the loading process, got the point where it said "checking" and then went back to the menu without loading the update. I've downloaded the radio update twice with the same results. I currently have the 2.05.00.06.11 radio but have not yet installed s -off. Do I need to do that first?
Any other suggestions?
EDIT: Nevermind, I installed the unrevoked forever s -off patch and the radio update seems to be installing now.
EDIT 2: Radio update updates kernal to .32 correct?

Question for anybody that can answer this can we flash any rom from another phone and it will work with the Incredible after we done this to our phone. Thanks.

Very bad idea...you may end up with a brick using a ROM from a different phone.

hi guys.
i did a terrible mistake last night nd am stuck.. need ur help.. plz help me.
last night i tried to update my radio from 3805.04.03.22_M to 3805.04.03.27_M.. i renamed 3805.04.03.27_M to PG32IMG.zip nd placed tat on the root of my sd card..
i did this because my gps was not working properly.. i was running android revolution hd 1.02 then.. i flashed the radio successfully nd checked if my gps is working normally.. but no it was'nt. then i thought of flashing cyanogenmod rom.. i downloaded the zip file and placed it on my sd card.. i booted into the recovery took a backup nd wiped the data nd cache.. and yes i forgot to remove the PG32IMG.zip from the sd card. along wid this i accidently pressed on "reboot nw" option on my CWRM.. nw whn i press "volume down button nd power button" it takes me to hboot menu and as PG32IMG.zip is on my sd its trying to flash tat.. nd do not allow me to enter into recovery mode. as there is no data on the phone whn i power up the device am getting a white screen wid htc logo..
guys hw can i get into the recovery or flash any rom nw?? is it possible to manually push any rom via adb or in any other way. am unable to use my incredible s.. plz help me.. thank you

I believe there is a problem downgrading back to Froyo once you install a GB Radio. You may be able to flash the ROM, but you won't be able to flash a radio.

[Q] Updating to Gingerbread?

Finally we have gingerbread! Thing is im not sure how to update to it. Ive searched and read everything but it doesnt make much sense. Ever since GB came out I see things like zv4, zv6, zv7...I dont know what those are and some of the tuts for gb require those or something.
Here is what I have. Im currently on the revolt rom 1.5 and I have the stock rom that the cubed uploaded as well. I also have cwm. Not sure if this helps. Im a super noob and this is the first android phone phone ive ever had. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks

I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one confused by those instructions at first . My first assumption when reading all these posts were that V4 V6 and V7 were hardware versions of the Revo and you were suppose to download the Gingerbread TOT in correlation to your hardware. Here's what You need to know. They are just software update versions.
V4 and V6 are Froyo
V7 is Gingerbread.
Install V7 and you'll be all set
