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.

Ok so I used universal androot to root my phone, now what.every thing looks thee same.

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.

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

I'm thinking about rooting my captivate so I can us it as a wifi access for my Ipad. I currently have no experience what so ever about this topic and was looking for advice and help on this. I don't have any desire to brick my phone so good advice is appreciated. Thank you to everyone!
Well first things first download the one click root. Search it. There ya go. If you have any other questions or problems let me know.

how do i tell if my phone is rooted
you will have the superuser application if your rooted
ok i have that on my phone so how do i make it work
Make what work? Your phone is already rooted, you can now get apps for rooted phones and do stuff you normally wouldn't be able to do. Also, please use the search function, I'm sure you'll find the answer you're looking for.
Anyone here any news or anything promising about this? I'm getting ancy.

I wouldn't expect any time soon.
Virgin is very tight lipped about it which usually means it's still a ways off.
I can't wait for the update, I am excited to see how well it works on this phone.
I'm going to guess October some time.
We should get a pool going on this one and see who wins
I'm still deciding whether to wait for the update or just put another official gingerbread/custom rom onto the phone.
Reason is, we have a way to S-OFF our phones via computer for FREE - which i've already done

I'm using a Bell incredible s. I took the s-off and originally flashed the gingerbread stock ruu. Nice to have it unbranded. I'm also using it on Rogers now. It's not hard to do. It can be overwhelming with all the info though. I'm thinking of writing a guide. Attn1 was very helpful in irc even though he didn't need to.

Hey guys
Is there a temp unroot for the HTC one available?
Sky go doesn't let me use it on a rooted device. No idea why they are so picky about jailbroken or rooted devices, bit daft imo
Anyway yeah, any help would be great
Thanks

This appears to be a conundrum which many have tried to solve on supported (and un-supported) devices. I have searched high and low and have yet to find anybody with a working solution.

Yeah it's frustrating isn't it because it's so stupid that it won't allow it. Lets hope the geniuses on here work out a way to rectify it

I used OTA Rootkeeper on my Nexus 7 with Sky Go and it worked fine, esentially temp unroot, and then use 'Root Checker' to see if your phone is actually unrooted. Make sure you fully close the Sky Go app and then try, it works for me. I'll test on my One and post the results in a bit
Edit: Just tried it, didn't work I'm afraid, hopefully another solution will appear soon!
Try this, it's what I have to do to get time warner live tv to work.
Go into system/app and rename superuser to SuperSU.
Next, go into the build.prop and there should be something that says build tags. It should say under that, "release-keys". Delete the words release-keys, leaving that part blank. Reboot. Should work if it's the same root checks as time warner.

Does this remove the root at all or will it still function the same and just pass the check?
Should just pass the root check. Root still remains.

hi men,
I bought this phone today, and although I've seen videos to unlock root permissions and bootloarder, but i would like to know if there is a toolkit that allowed all this with just a few clicks without follow the whole procedure; and if yes, how can i use it.
thanks to all

I haven't heard of one that does it all for you in a couple of clicks where you don't have to do anything.
You can give mine a go if you want. Its in my signature.
Nonono. Toolkits are a bad bad bad idea. It's actually not hard to flash roms and unlocked bootloaders. But it is so worthwhile learning all the commands and doing it yourself. Then if you ever stuff something up you will have an idea how to fix it instead of using a stupid toolkit. There are so many guides on here. They are well worth reading
