i hate not having any root...... guess the new ota is tough to crack or were just sol now. any way to install roms without s-off and root? lol. really been itching to get skyraider back on. stupid refurb phones with ota.
If you are already s-off then just flash CWM through hboot with the correct PB31IMG. Then either flash a rom with su built in or do the payload.
Well can't just install as a .zip, so I'm assuming i have to put the files in my root directory and then run the scripts in the META-INF/com/google/android folder. I know how to do this just want to make sure this is what I'm supposed to do. I already have these files in the root directory. Any pointers would be much appreciated.
chmod 6755 su
mv su /system/bin/
mv Superuser.apk /system/app/
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

Question is how did you get a custom recovery loaded without having root? And since you were able to get a custom recovery loaded and having gone S-off wouldn't you just be able to roll back to the previous update and re-root that way?
With gathered knowledge and tools from the forums and from the unrevoked IRC folks, I was able to disable the flash protection temporarily and flash a clockwork recovery onto it. And yes, once you have achieved that, you can go S-OFF with unrevoked forever, and consequentially downgrade or flash to any other ROM (which I did, I flashed the latest Virtuous).
I don't feel like I am in a position to distribute anyone else's tools, so I won't. I just wanted to tell people that if they try hard enough, it can be done; this revision of the firmware isn't unbreakable.

So i can't get root on my friends incredible. I went to the irc room for unrevoked, and no one responded to my queries, so i found that article, and would really like to know if it applies only to Evo, or if those files in there would work for the incredible?
