[GUIDE] One Click How to Root the Incredible with Unrevoked 3.21

I first want to thank everyone at UnrEVOked for what they've done. I'm posting this because the UnrEVOked post doesn't really give any instructions. Its an easy enough root, but I know I've been there before and even the simplest things can be tough if things aren't laid out. So here's a step by step tutorial.
Due to some bugs, Unrevoked 3.2 was taken down shortly after being released, but the updated version is now LIVE! So obviously we're going to bring you a video tutorial on how to do it! Thanks to the guys at Unrevoked for giving us this simple solution to rooting the Droid Incredible.
LINK TO VIDEO WALKTHROUGH FOR HOW TO ROOT THE DROID INCREDIBLE
◄●REQUIRED DOWNLOADS●►
EVERYONE: Unrevoked3. Download the version for your OS.
WINDOWS USERS: unrEVOked modified USB driver
◄●How to Install HBOOT Drivers (Windows Users ONLY)●►
If you're using Windows, you're going to have to install the HBOOT drivers first. You can follow this video tutorial:
How to Install HBOOT Drivers
and follow along with these written instructions provided by the Unrevoked team:
Download the unrEVOked modified USB driver and expand it somewhere you will remember.
Turn off your phone, then boot it into the HBOOT menu by holding power and volume down.
On your phone, you will have to select HBOOT USB at that menu by pressing volume down four times, then power. Wait until the screen flashes through an “SD Checking” message before pressing buttons; otherwise, the phone will ignore keypresses.
Connect the phone to your Windows machine with a USB cable and wait for the phone to say HBOOT USB PLUG on screen.
Open Device Manager.
Click Start, then right click on Computer, then click Properties, then click Device Manager.
Under Other devices, you should now see the Android 1.0 device.
Right click on Android 1.0 and click Update Driver Software:
Click on Browse my computer for driver software.
Click on Browse and select the Android USB Driver folder on on your computer, click ok, then click next.
You should get a status bar indicating that the driver is installing. If you get any warnings, just click Ok.
Your driver should install.
Click Close and make sure Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone.
◄●Instructions●►
Make sure you downloaded Unrevoked3 for your OS.
If you're on Windows, make sure you "uninstall HTC Sync or any other program that might talk to the phone over USB (doubletwist, etc). They will cause problems" (Unrevoked.com).
Plug your phone into your computer with USB.
Drag down from the notification bar on your phone and select "Charge Only" and "Remember this"
Make sure your phone has USB Debugging turned on by going to Menu>>Settings>>Applications>>Development and checking USB debugging.
Run the Reflash application that you downloaded.
Unrevoked will run its processes. Follow the few instructions it gives and thats it!
You're now rooted!

PS - Others have asked elsewhere if it flashes a custom recovery. Yes, it flashes Clockwork

Be sure to wait for S-OFF to install before unplugging phone!

Thanks for reporting that

thanks, one question, maybe more later.
after this is done, then what. do i really need to do anything else. is this where the fun begins, like i really only want to remove the bloatware. but if i want, can i just leave it rooted and do nothing with it. i am a total noobie and even this "one click" thing has me scared and confused. thanks for the post.

Once you're done, you can remove bloatware. And yes, if you so choose, you can do nothing at all

So that mean's that Unrevoked for the Incredible automatically applies S-OFF?

ive had root from way before the one click method ..the hard way
my bro just got a incredible and went thru everything and it all,
it kind of worked out for him
except it didnt give him clockworkmod icon at the end
...he has s-off and super user
i told him to get rom manager and look and see and it says it is there 2.5.0.5 but when he robots into recovery it goes to a black screen white lines on sides ..same with manual

Thats odd, but you should be able to just flash a custom recovery separately. Did ROM Manager ask to install clockwork recovery?

Haven't messed with a hero in a long time, but since you can get into h-boot, try to find a HERCIMG.zip of either the recovery or a full rom. (I see you now have an Evo, so HERCIMG.zip is just the Hero version of the PC36IMG for the Evo). Since the hero is pretty easy to root, I would suggest the entire rom to start fresh. If you are not familiar with HERCIMG.zip, put it on the root of your sd card and boot to hboot. It should then prompt you for the update.

If you are using a full rom image, you will need to re-root. Just use the one-click root for the Hero. But yes after you flash the image, I would boot just to make sure you are now good.
If just use a recovery img then try to boot into recovery and flash a very basic, maybe stock like rom.

i downloaded a HERCIMG.zip and hboot wont recognize it.... i think its because i have the latest hboot and radio already installed so i dont know what to do now... i've done hard reset, clear storage and i still can only get the white htc start screen and it stays there for hours until the battery dies i've done a hard reset and now my phone says s-on so somewhere in the process of trying to fix this i've lost my s-off.... i have no idea what to do :'(

Try Fastbooting... if you Plug it into your Computer and press Volume Up (I believe?) You Should be able to get into Fastboot and Hopefully Fix your Problem!

Reflash darchs eng-spl to enable fast boot commands. It will give you s-off again. If you can't find it let me know. Also I'd recommended flashing it with ra1.6,1.7 or cwm2.5. After you flash the s-off zip your phone should flash the hercimg.zip
Locked & Loaded

What did u name the zip file?
... it's been a common mistake with this process that people actually name "hercimg.zip", which now becomes "hercimg.zip.zip"
But u have to name it just "hercimg" since it's already a zip file.
Its just a thought ... and plz excuse me for questioning u if u did it correctly and it truly did not work.
Good luck and take care

[Q] Help flashing blackrose hboot

So this has been mind breaking for me. I failed to flash the blackrose hboot everytime i trie and on every rom. It gets to the point where it has sent it files and then it says <waiting for device>. This happens on stock, BuglessBeast, rcadsmixhd 2.3 & 1.6 and hypersense (i like sense ). Anyone has any advice . Btw it did not brick it.

the problem your having isn't actually related to which rom your using on your phone. its that its not being detected as an adb device. you need to make sure that your drivers are installed and you see it in device manager as an ADB interface under Android Phone.

Ehm, usb debugging is enabled and detected by the software at first. It gets to the point that it sends its hboot and after that it says something like error: deviceoffline and then stuck on waiting for device forever.

it could be that another program like PDAnet is interfering.
do you use any other programs on your PC that would use adb?

well maybe htc sync but that was closed and its process was killed by taskmanager. No other programs i can think of.

well if your drivers are fine and there is nothing causing some form of interruption then. its probably an issue coming from the phone.
since you've tried it with so many different roms am guessing you didnt bother running/installing any apps
try it without the SD card inserted maybe.
thinking i should try and see if i can't replicate your issue find out what the issue is.

SO without my sd card it did not make any difference, apart from that it now mixes the message: adb server is out of date. Killing... and then waiting for device again.

the first time i installed blackrose i didn't use this method but maybe you can try flashing the hboot manually, which is what i normally do now, find it more straight forward.
[edit]
is your bootloader unlock?

download the manual version zip file from there. the instructions are contained inside the zip.
he removed the caution about slcd N1's so i think that shouldn't be a problem anymore.

You can easily flash ROMs without unlocking the bootloader. All that is required is to root the original OS and install a custom recovery using a program like ROM Manager.
But I believe the phone is detected differently when in fastboot mode. Did you verify that the phone is still properly recognized in device manager when in fastboot mode?
What happens if you put the device into fastboot mode (holding the trackball when powering on) and you type fastboot devices at your command prompt?

Awesome.
Glad to help ^_^

Not directly related but I had to use BREditor and create a new hboot with the 200/16/220 layout and flash that. I just could not get the ICS roms to flash otherwise... strange...

ICS is too big for the stock ROM space on the N1, so you need to make those alterations so it can fit. texasice did make a striped down version that works on stock though.

If you are like me, you have been flashing ROMS on your phone for years before you ever unlocked the bootloader. I didn't do it until about 6 months ago because I needed to flash Blackrose. Also, don't bite the hand that is trying to feed you.

[Q] Accidentally installed GSM ROM on CDMA Sprint HTC One

A couple of days ago I thought it would be a GREAT idea to install a GSM ROM (Android Revolution HD) on my Sprint HTC One. I am now able to go into the recovery and flash a different ROM, but the ROM will boot up but shut down several seconds after reaching the home screen. I have been told that using an RUU might help, but will that work even if my computer doesn't recognize my phone as a USB device? All help is appreciated

Maybe you screwed your radio but i'm not sure this is the answer to your problems... To be able to run a RUU your pc MUST recognize your phone in fastboot mode.

I repaired a friends device that did the same thing. When it boots you will see a lock screen with no wallpaper and then it will shutdown.
An RUU is the ONLY way to fix it.

There's nothing special about an RUU, it's just a self extracting archive that uses fastboot to flash stuff.
It can be done by hand, such as with a nandroid backup.

If you have S-OFF it will...

These instructions are for the Sprint variant only
You will need to be unlocked and have twrp installed for this to work (I'm posting this here because of my work schedule if you need further assistance PM back hopefully you and Matt can get it working )
1. Follow this guide Guide - Get s-off on 1.31 HTC One (Sprint) Update:
You will get a failed warning after issuing the echo blah blah command this is normal and nothing to be worried about and after the echo command type exit to exit the adb shell and continue.
2. Get the RUU here click the first link in the thread(extract it to your desktop/open it and click setup it will scan your device,go thru the various screens reading the warnings and checking the boxes, once it starts it will take 10-20 minutes to complete) once it's done you will be back to completely stock.
Optional:
Use revone to gain s-off (if you go with this option once you are s-off you won't need to use HTC-Dev to unlock your bootloader because revone does it for you) A sidenote about revone it will fail several times just press the UP arrow on your keyboard to issue the same command and press enter.Watch the cmd window for instructions to reboot and continue.
or flash a Sprint rom from the Sprint forum

this has been on going for 2 days now and i still cant find a way around it...
i know how to flash both different types of recovery modes and can do that without a prob, i have the latest version of super su on a usb stick and also multiple roms on a usb stick which i am capable of flashing these via an OTA cable, but every time i flash the root then flash a rom, it says its installed but when i reboot it just stays on the htc screen with the red writing along the bottom for the best part of 45 seconds then restarts straight back into recovery.
i'll happily admit i'm no expert when it comes to android, but i've had a galaxy ace, s2, s3 and s4 before moving to a htc one, i've never had issues like this before...
if someone has a skype account and is willing to have a chat with me and help me thru this issue so that i can have a working and stable phone again, otherwise i have just bought a £350 paperweight.
Many thanks in advance to all those who help me!!

this has been on going for 2 days now and i still cant find a way around it...
i know how to flash both different types of recovery modes and can do that without a prob, i have the latest version of super su on a usb stick and also multiple roms on a usb stick which i am capable of flashing these via an OTA cable, but every time i flash the root then flash a rom, it says its installed but when i reboot it just stays on the htc screen with the red writing along the bottom for the best part of 45 seconds then restarts straight back into recovery.
i'll happily admit i'm no expert when it comes to android, but i've had a galaxy ace, s2, s3 and s4 before moving to a htc one, i've never had issues like this before...
if someone has a skype account and is willing to have a chat with me and help me thru this issue so that i can have a working and stable phone again, otherwise i have just bought a £350 paperweight.
Many thanks in advance to all those who help me!!

Flash root then a Rom??
You root the ROM not the phone! If you flash root then a rom overtop of course it's unrooted. I thought you had this corrected and the device up and running.

i would love to flash a rom then root afterwards but once ive got to the end of the rom flash and my recovery says reboot i get the message saying root is broken and get asked to install it, which would normally happen when the rom boots up and it installs susper su inside the rom but as the rom never boots up and just goes back to revovery, i'm rather stuck at this point..
any ideas??

if i need TWRP_2.6.3.3 where can i get the .img file as i have the zip file but cant seem to get that flashed onto my phone, i tried unzipping it and just flashing the recovery.img but it failed

i've just found: openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-m7ul.img
would that do it or do i need 2.6.3.3?

ive just installed TWRP_2.6.3.3_m7_renovate thru the CWM that was installed but now this recovery dosent give me the option of installing from usb stick like the CWM did??

Okay, first, stay calm. Being in a rush will make you mess things even more. Now, go into your bootloader, what does it say? Alternatively, if you know how to, post the output of fastboot getvar all.

Okay, now do you quickly want to go to stock or stay and troubleshoot the problem?

i'd like to return to stock but i use the toggles on the pull down notification bar a lot and when i got the phone when it was completly un rooted it didnt give me that function. and i love the option of changing what toggles you want up there in the renovation rom, you can prob get them in other roms but the renovation rom is the only 1 i have had working on my phone.

Ok, never mind about that, I'll get you back there. Now do you have any data on your phone that you need? Ps, be a little quick, I've gotta leave home in ~15, and my data plan is over
