Working great!
I don't have enough posts under my belt to use the thanks button, so forgive the spam, but I felt compelled to post my thanks to OP!
With S-Off I was able to flash the RUU, reboot into HBOOT and flash CWM Recovery, then install Superuser and I was good to go with a rooted (and bloody fast!) OTA GB on my Dinc. It even fixed the GPS issue I was having with CM7!

no thanks necessary but its appreciated and i'm glad to see it worked for you.
That should be it just test it by running something that requires root like titanium backup or root explorer.
It might have been that you had an slcd phone all along or that version 3.0.0.8 is the only one that works.
I think its kazooski.
I just had my Incredible replaced today due to a speaker issue and I forgot I still had the GB Leaked RUU on my card saved as the PMB.zip or whatever it's called. Unfortunately I thought the same thing, just download a 2.2 RUU and try again, but it didn't work. My comp attempted the downgrade but the program came back saying it couldn't flash the new image. So I guess I have to wait for Unrevoked to come to the rescue.
That was in fact, the problem. I thought all this time I had an AMOLED phone... nope. Once I got that straightened out I got through the process just fine and in only a matter of minutes.
Thanks again, maybe I'll see you around Kalamazoo some time!
Where can you download what?
The recovery we are talking about is at http://www.dougpiston.com under inc.recoveries and supersuer is at http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/
Well how many apps does she have installed? I have no experience with low app memory but I don't believe merely flashing a rom would resolve low app space.
Only a handful, I may end up trying a ROM like CM7. I don't want to hijack this thread though so I'll leave it at that, but I do certainly appreciate the input. Just letting others know the 150mb data limit is not corrected with this build.
To be realistic, the best response anyone can give you is being that it is delayed is "sometime in 2011."

un rooted?
While the RUU was running I made sure to check that 'S-OFF' was indicated on the top of the screen, but now when I try to boot into recovery to flash clockwork (holding down volume while pressing power button) nothing happens. It seems I can only boot normally now. Is there something I could have done to turn S-ON ?

Man was hoping this would fix the low app space. But have you also moved the apps to SD card?
Also wondering if this will help my wife's phone from getting in the reboot loop.

Sounds like fastboot is enabled. Disable it in settings>power, or do a battery pull and reboot into hboot from there.

3Okay I verified that if you have s-off you will be able to get root back on your phone if you run the RUU.
As expected the RUU did unroot my phone but it didn't touch s-off. So I downloaded CWM 3.0.0.8 from dougpiston.com and changed it to PB31IMG.zip (this has to be a flashable zip file to work) and it loaded from hboot no problem. I then downloaded the latest superuser app using ROM Manager, version 2.3.6.3 efgh, older versions will not work, and just flashed it through recovery. Superuser does not need to be renamed update.zip you can just leave the name as is and select let me choose zip from sdcard and it installs just fine.
Took a while for me to get superuser running again as I had an older version and I could only find the newest version in ROM Manager.
****YOU MUST HAVE S-OFF FOR THIS TO WORK*********************2
You should absolutely run unrevoked forever to achieve S-Off before you install the OTA update. This is a perm-root solution that cannot be (as I understand it) revoked via an OTA update. Once you have achieved S-Off, you should be able to run the GB update and (as kzoodroid has previously stated), flash an alternate recovery/install SU/achieve root.
Unrevoked: do it.1
