I have been in knowledgeable of root since the Droid Eris and I rooted my past Incredible perfectly fine but it had an AMOLED screen so it was no biggie, so I'm really no noob. Just need really detailed advice lol.

I tried to root my Droid Incredible with unrevoked 3.22 and flash the custom recovery 5.0.2.0 but it failed like many others. It would say my firmware was too new. So I decided to downgrade with a PB31IMG of 2.2 but now I'm at a constant boot loop with the HTC Quietly Brilliant and the Droid bootanimation and cant get past that. I tried to flash the latest OTA from ---> http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22 <--- and it didn't flash because it said it was too old. I'm just tryin to root my Incredible. I need to use my phone. Somebody please help asap! I just bought the phone and I'm not done paying it off from someone. Or if I can get a PB31IMG file of the 6.20.2012 update. Much appreciated.
It doesnt matter if its stock, I just want it to turn on.
I have used the method I used on my old incredible from here ---> http://mobile-overload.com/topic/18-...rades-off-234/ <--- so my laptop is already ready for hacking.
EDIT: I can't get passed bootanimation bc I flashed old software through bootloader

Problem SOLVED. Read posts below if you have the same problem, it works.

Use the htcdev site to unlock your bootloader. Then you can fastboot flash cwm recovery, and then flash su thru recovery, and your rooted. Getting s-off takes a couple more steps if you want it. You can follow one of these guides.

It is all done thru fastboot, while in hboot. Just skip the ruu part of the htcdev instructions, as you already have an unlockable bootloader.

Alright. My device won't show up and it doesn't install drivers....so I'm just going to install the drivers in the instructions.....once I remember how lol
EDIT: Didn't need to download drivers. My usb cable didnt read my phone through fastboot but i switched it with another and now it does. I didn't know there was a proceed button on the HTCdev website lol I wondered where the "step # through # came from. I think I may have it from here. Ill update.

EDIT2: I'm at the point where Im re-writing the misc image but when I type "adb devices" in the command prompt it doesn't see my device it says "adb devices listed and nothing shows up. What could I do? I'm so close to rooting this thing. I set it up before when I rooted my old Amoled Incredible and don't think ive changed anything, it shouldve showed up. Please help.
BTW phone now says

EDIT3: I flashed 2.3.4 pb31img bc i needed a rom to have adb working & to recognize my device. After that it was a breeze. I now have a rooted slcd incredible [SOLVED] (:
