To make all the crybabies happy heres a disclaimer:
Doing this will not mess up your phone. Doing things after this could mess up your phone. Make nandroid backups before making changes to your phone. If you are inexperienced, don't do anything else besides editing/deleting system files on your phone. Flashing other recoveries and other such things could be risky, but removing files from system should have no adverse effects other then maybe causing a bootloop which could be fixed my restoring your system folder. I don't know why people got upset about this, but if you have any brain at all you could of figured this out yourself.

You can unlock your nand temporarily and its easy to do.
All you need is the unrevoked tool.
First understand what it is doing. It unlocks your nand to write your recovery image. Normally we cant do this. So look they made this tool to hide what its actually doing, but if you think about it you realize hey if I unplug my USB cable before it flashes recovery and reboots to recovery, I will still have an unlocked nand.
So simple steps.
1. Plug in phone to your PC
2. Run unrevoked tool
3. Let it reboot to bootloader
4. When in bootloader your screen will flash back to the white HTC Incredible screen, at this point unplug your USB and close unrevoked tool(make sure you do it before your phone completely boots and while the unrevoked program still says Waiting for reboot.)
5. Once you get past the bootanimation your phone is unlocked so you can write to /system/
To test, run the app Ad free and update the hosts file, it should say it was successful. If your phone is rebooted it is no longer unlocked.
How many times have you used this trick?
Lets say 20. Well what if on the 21st try, your phone was bricked?
I'm not saying that'll happen, but clearly you didn't write the program, so you have no idea.
I wouldn't suggest anyone try this until unrevoked release a fully tested NAND unlock. There are very few reasons to have NAND unlocked at this time.
I would do this, bit i trist pmf on this one.

There's really nothing to worry about, once your phone is rebooted after hboot and your phone is booting, the program isnt interacting with the phone notice it says waiting for reboot, so really there isnt anything to worry about.
I have done this many times. This is supposed to be an open development community and hiding stuff or making up BS about bricking phones to scare people from trying stuff is really dumb. You root your phone, you are already taking risks doing it in the first place.

Most people have already ran unrevoked several times to update the their phone's recovery.
SO HOW THE HELL is this any different. Get it through your head and realize that all you are doing is unplugging your phone before it is even going to flash recovery again. The recovery isnt flashed until you boot back into the OS. So pulling the USB before this when the program still says Waiting for Reboot will cause no issue.
What you do to your phone afterwards might cause issues, but people should make nandroid backups before they ever do anything anyways.

I like this idea, and i want to try it, but i dont want to be first. I domt like knocking devs and their ideas, but i dont want to be tje community ginuea pig. I hope ot works, and it makes lots of sense but most of us dont know EXACTLY what unrevoked3 does. I can honestly say, i know it unlocks nand temp, bit i cant say what hardware of software parts it targets. For all i knoe, it could short circuit my phone because the process didnt initualize correctly. No offense to you at all. I think this is a GREAT find, and is very good for the community.

Well a few weeks back someone posted some file with a list of commands that temporary unlocks the nand and basically this is what unrevoked is doing along with flashing a new recovery and rooting the phone. Basically its a made program so it can hide what its doing so you the person doing it, doesn't know what their program is doing and also to make it easier for people that are inexperienced with rooting and doing other tasks such as using adb. It basically simplifies the process for the enduser to not have to fuss with adb and any other program or entering commands, etc.

Where would we be without Unrevoked? They don't hide stuff, they protect stuff. They're protecting exploits from being closed by HTC and phones from being bricked. What it is, is that people are greedy fux and use the phrase OPEN SOURCE/DEVELOPMENT as an excuse to post their (unrevoked's) long hard work all over the forums cause "hey now my adblock works". Its really pathetic! Unrevoked thinks of the big picture, like people being able to root their phones in the future while these other people posting their work are just actually HURTING the community! Now you're gonna post some schlep way to get NAND unlock for one boot, using their tool and then talk **** about their methods. THERE WOULD BE NO DEVELOPMENT SECTION UNDER HTC DROID INCREDIBLE IF IT WASN'T FOR UNREVOKED! Here on XDA or any other site. It would be sad if Unrevoked decided not to release the REAL FULL NAND UNLOCK/UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER cause people keep posting stolen work or schlep methods of using their tools for the non-intended purposes!
Has anyone tried this yet?

Umm,
If a person such as myself can figure this out.
If a person like you and myself and others all have access to unrevoked program.
This means HTC has access to these programs as well.
HTC hires people who have college degrees and know how to program and know much more about the phones then us.
I'm sure they already have disassembled their program and know what they are doing and knew what it was doing before they did so.
I want to try other things like Metamorph and make themes.

I will assume that they could have given us NAND unlock already. But they haven't. They must have a good reason for holding out. I for one would like to be able to use my Root Explorer instead of getting out my laptop and using that frigging command line interface. I'm not a Linux person. I was raised on the Windows GUI. My previous 2 phones ran Windows Mobile. This is my first Android. I don't like the command line interface. It may be handy for techies and developers, but not for me... So gimmie NAND unlock! I'll take my chances.

+2 UnRevoked your doing a hell of a job, 90% of us understand why the nand unlock has not been released, I want nand but i'm not willing to try what the op has suggested. Perhaps if I were building themes I might use this method for a faster testing procedure. Yet I dont belive it should have been posted here seems alot of new poeple lurking might unplug at the incorrect moment and create issues that would spur a whole bunch of "help me!!" threads.
What UnRevoked is doing is no different than me or anyone else running company server patches in a sandbox for a few weeks before I pushed it to all the servers. Test test test test THEN release!
No doubt HTC has already seen and disected their code. Do you think your the first to figure out how UnRevoked managed to flash the custom recovery? Why has no one else posted this? hmm..
Dont kill me with flames I'm just sayin.

I'm not sure why people find it so hard to say 'SuperOneClick' in reply to such an easy question. It's the only one-click method still working for the N1!
As always do your research and read the wiki, but you'll want to find and learn about SuperOneClick for rooting and possibly Rom Manager, if you decide to start using custom ROMs.
If you find yourself at the stage where you are using a custom recovery do yourself a favour and do a Nandroid backup. (learn about that too if you haven't already).
Because:
1) SuperOneClick is not the only option - there is also manual method and the bootloader method.
2) You don't know what tomorrow brings. Wiki will be updated, these threads won't be. Pointing to Wiki will keep the people using updated info. This is what Wiki is for.
3) Personally, I think people asking such question should be banned for a day or two, until they learn to read before asking. It's the most basic question with answers just about anywhere, and it still pops 3 times a week.
Also, the part which people often struggle with, is the setting up the sdk.
Superoneclick and manual methods both require sdk to be set up.
Most of the instructions in the wiki are outdated in this respect (it points to threads, which don't get updated), which is why I wrote the guide in the link, and is also the reason why I pointed to it...

SOC needs nothing to be set-up. Just stick it on your pc and run it.
Advising people to root by unlocking bootloader/manual method is like telling someone to use a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. Sure it'll work but it'll be messy, possibly do collateral damage, and could be done safer/faster/easier with another tool!
The OP was clearly looking for a 1-click method, which is understandable as MOST people do prefer to take the path of least resistance.

Try it, and enjoy the results. Return to tell us the story of how you waited hours for it to connect to your phone, until your patience ran out.
Advising people to use bootloader or manual methods has a great benefit - it teaches people things about the system that they need to know when going root, and a side benefit of preventing some of the idiocy going on around. Most idiotic threads on XDA came from people that either rooted or attempted to root, while clearly not understanding a thing about the system they're dealing with.

You don't seem to understand. The 1-click method STILL requires Nexus drivers from the SDK to be installed - and if you don't have them installed, it won't work!
People that fail with 1-click methods, usually fail because of that. And that's what danger-rat was trying to explain.

Does that vary with operating system? I didn't need to install any sdk drivers on my Win7 install for SOC to work.
Come to think of it i've never had to manually install drivers on Win7 as it has always picked up on everything i've plugged into it. God bless MS
I believe Win7 will automatically install the correct drivers, yes.

They are not a XDA devs but they use XDA and another forum as source to make money.
People stay away from them. Devs are only the one who should have profits from their hard work in my opinion. Also theirs prices are so high for things which Devs share for free with all of us.
That's such a piss take
40 for that ?! Haha what a joke.
XDA should ban them!!
I dont think anything is wrong with it. They have taken the time to research and learn how to root and install custom roms. Some people cant comprehend or are just scared to do it themselves. I also imagine that the people who want a custom rom and are afraid to do it themselves have already come accross XDA, but still cant do it.
Although it sounds expensive to us, to some people might justify it, and the people who are doing it, should get paid for their time.
Edit: Although I do agree that the Devs should get a donation for their work.

I could look at this two ways.
Initial impressions were "OMFG... stealing hacks"
But then if they offer a guaranteed assurance that if it bricks, your covered, then I think £40 is fair enough.
I wouldn't mind paying £40 for a guaranteed root. It's sensible.
seems fair enough to me......
i cant see the problem myself. its not as if people are been forced to use the service. the only reason i wont root is i just know i'll brick my phone. i simply dont have time to read countless pages on how to do it, and after spending too much time messing about on my hd2, i dont think the better half would be as forgiving again. so, £40 for a service which i'd quiet like but i'll NEVER do myself seems pretty good to me. as for people shouting for them to be banned from xda......just LOL.........

I don't seem the harm if the devs are ok with it either. I mean back in the days, before rooting, people were paying people like davinciteam to "unlock" the phones to get the bloated carrier software off the phones. No, Davinci is not exactly the same as these ebay listers, but it's the service you are paying for, bottom line.
If you don't like it, don't use it.

Not everyone is smart? Are you kidding me? A 10 year old could follow the instructions and complete the s-off and root and flash a custom rom.
What the hell is happening to our world?
Here is my advice to you "not smart" people: USE YOUR BRAIN.
As you all know we have a small dev community, which means people that want to use ROMs, MODs, and so on are relying on very few people. I would like to go ahead and say that I am up for teaming up with some devs. Not necessarily building ROMs together but sharing tips, tricks, or anything that can make better ROMs at a faster pace. Anyone up for it PM me or comment. Easiest way to chat is Gtalk. With this being said I am NOT looking to teach anyone how to do everything. Sorry guys, but I do stay busy with school, work, deving, and lifting weights. So don't PM me for private tutoring. I will still answer anyone's questions through PM though so don't take that last part as me not wanting to help, I just don't want to teach.

I recieved my One on Friday, and been debating whether or not to root since I cut the seal.
If you rooted, convince me.
If you kept it stock convince me to.
Thanks in Advance

I played around with my one for about a week before I rooted. If you have to be convinced then you should just stay stock until you get bored... If that's possible

if you are asking whether you should root your phone, i suggest that you stay at stock!
i rooted mine as soon as it came out of the box.

Why do you suggest that I stay stock?
I am not a n00b or anything... I am just leary of HTC knowing what I am doing (i.e. voiding my warranty)
Yeah Dude, no one in here will "convince " you to root or not. If you are asking that question especially in this Forum you should not root and stay stock.
I just rooted mine to test out that logo to menu button but I couldn't because of the update.I'm just rooted waiting on a perfect rom with the updated base

LOL Definitely a NOOB, less that 50 post is a noob, besides HTC doesn't care what you do with your phone, In fact.. they give you the tools to unlock the bootloader on htcdev.
My advice ..stay stock. and have fun customizing your device on mycolorscreen.com

I rooted after a week, but I could personally care less if you root yours or not. If you aren't new, then you should already know what to do.
Personally I think it is a little deeper than the question you pose. To me it is all about pushing Android itself to better places and thus having wonderful developers in here doing just that. Supporting the developers as they help mold Android into the best it can be is what it is all about. HTC and other manufacturers do take note of what is going on by the developers on this website and thus, it is helping to mold Android to better things. That is just my humble feelings on that.
In saying all of that, I have not even rooted yet...LOL!!! I always root and support the devs but I will feel way more comfortable when that 4.2 update hits this phone to do so. I thought we had it for a sec there with that first update. Not real sure why I feel this way other than feeling all warm a cozy and to settle in on a particular rom and kernnel. I am not what you would call a flash junkie so when I flash something I like it to be at least based on the latest Android version if possible. And I am a dummy at this dev stuff so there ya go my 2 cents. :silly:

You really shouldn't be asking us... The bigger question is will root benefit you? Everyone uses their device differently... It's not up to us if it will be better for YOU.

I never asked a question. I was just giving a humble opinion concerning my personal feelings about rooting in general.

No worries. I actually felt that is what you meant to do....after I posted to your reply and thought about it. :laugh:
I traditionally root for ad blockers and backups. On my Transformer, this doesn't void my warranty, not sure about the One
