you need to read the stickies in every part of the hero forum and do some google searches and you will see what you need to do. after about two weeks of reading and lurking here you will have all the info you need to make your phone awesome.
heres a good first step for you though
flash a custom recovery, then flash a custom rom.

Rooting your phone wont change the way it looks... you just have root access, that gives you the ability to change any thing you want... like the way it looks.

Well you didn't ask to make it look different..you just asked how to root your phone.

Now you want it to look different ?
Now you get to decide how you want it to look and operate. Your going to be the one doing this so you got some more work ahead of you... so you best get at it.( You actually didn't think it would be magically different by just rooting it did you ? ) That my friend is just the first step of the actual process..Now...go look at all of the different custom roms built for it and all of the different custom themes available..then... once you have a good idea of what you would like on your phone..start reading all you can about the rom & theme of your choice.Start at the beginning of the threads and read everything there..all of the issues and all the problems folks may have had and how they got fixed. This will save you a-lot of grief once your actually ready to make the switch.
I have found there are plenty of good folks here that will help you once you make up your mind of what you want to do to your phone..
Good Luck...& Good Reading to ya

Root

Anybody got any advice on how to root my inc s ? Do I need to wait for somebody cleaverer than me to come up with a guide specifically for this phone, or could I just follow one of the guides for another HTC phone ?

That actually depends on how brave are you you can test different rooting methods like Super One Click etc. but if you end up with a brick, then you are the only one responsible.

Yeh, not that brave yet, only had the phone for a day, think Ill wait a while

I just tried to root my IncS by using the unrEVOked method, but got an error message saying 'vivo not supported at this time'. Hope the guys at unrEVOked will add support soon.

Slightly OT but as as the general section is quiet (early days) would any of you lucky Incredible S owners care to take a look and offer your comments on my post / questions HERE?
Thanks and apologies for the OT post.
Edit: Forget this - I now know the answer!

what is the price you got your Incredible S?

When i had my phone for just half a day, i already tried to root it, with 2 difrent programs, did work though =(

Moved this to general

Currently there is no method of rooting, still busy with this one.
All previous exploits are out of the question, only temproot trough psneuter is useable. RageAgainstTheCage dont work.
Were (l0st.pr0phet and mainly scotty2) currently trying all we can to root this one, but HTC gives us a pretty hard time. And maybe there is no way of rooting... but that is something we will found out then.
See ya soon!

Good luck and thanks for the update.

Just an update:
First of all: tnx scotty2 for all the work you do!
Second: no root yet. Were still figuring what can be done, most of the things that worked on other devices don't work, only the temp root works until now

How to do a temp root?

Psneuter exploit. It's in superoneclick.
You don't have write permission in the system partition because of the nand-lock. Still working on that.
So currently its kinda useless, except for debugging and that kinda stuff, apps like root explorer probably won't work.

What should I do?

I just got my notice for official update to 2.2. Do I need to unroot,recripple and undo my lagfix first? Please really need your expert help. Also will I be able to reroot and all the other things again if I have to undo them? Thanks for any an all advice an help you can offer.

Try searching before posting. This is nothing new, just AT$T trying to reach customers who don't hang out in forums like this. This is the same update that was released on 2/24. If you are currently on a custome ROM, you would have to flash back to stock using Odin. beware, if you update to OEM Froyo you will not be able to root or install CWM with the new 3e recovery. I'd suggest you do some reading up on the issues and benefits of stock Froyo before you make up your mind to upgrade.

Thank you for your help, But if I'm not going to be able to root it back then I wont update. Unfortunately I'm not very experienced and I'm afraid of bricking my phone so flashing roms kinda scares me. I'd love to be brave and do all that kind of things. Oh sorry I tried to search but my app kept force closing.

There is a way to root the stock Froyo, but the old methods either don't work or need to be adjusted. I'd wait until I was at a PC so I could do some searches and read up on the issues. Froyo is definitely better than Eclair and a worthwhile upgrade, but still somewhat lacking compared to what the devs here are cooking up.

rooting the stock 2.2 is extremely easy using SUPERONECLICK
on the right hand side of the app is a button that says RAGE...select it and then ROOT
done
/end of line

You're right, so long as you know that beforehand.

Yes XDA is where I got the wonderful apps to do what changes I have to my Cappy. Super One Click is how I rooted . Thank you all for the fantastic help and great advice. Will I be able to decripple it again?

Just flash a stock rom and wipe your data. That's all!
Try giving a good title. Writing urgent wont make it. You have to give a clue of your prob so that people here could easily know if they could help or not.
Hope that helps. Just sharing what I learned from posting on XDA.

I dont know much about unlocking so you better read about that. I cant link Jailbreaking and flashing together. I think it won't.
Well you have read about flashing then.

ok, everything is a lot more familier now that im in "cmw". And am reflashing mavrom 4 gsm ( just includes the gsm build.prop ).
First thing im doing once i reboot is making a proper backup!

Dead development?

Is development dead for this phone? I haven't seen many posts on xda about a possible exploit or any rooms in general for our variant in a while

Pretty sure it's dead.

Yeah I agree it's dead

It's sad how this phone didn't really have any special attributes to keep people using it like the s5. There is still devolopment from the s5 but this one is dead. Verizon needs to stop locking phones and they would have many more satisfied customers

root sm-g925v
