Hey all,

We've been working pretty hard to bring you unrEVOked 3.2 with out-of-the-box, one-click support for all Android versions on the Incredible.

Available for Linux, Mac, and Windows:
http://www.unrevoked.com/recovery/

Please start by visiting the help page and reading it through:

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked3

1. Windows users MUST install the HBOOT drivers for this to work:
http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php?id=public:windows_hboot_driver_install

2. Windows users need to uninstall HTC Sync or any other program that might talk to the phone over USB (doubletwist, etc). Disabling HTC Sync from the system tray is not enough. They interfere with the root process and will cause problems.

3. When asked for USB connection type, select "Charge Only" and "Remember this".

Hey all,

It's working flawlessly on our testing devices, but we are releasing it for a quick round of testing before distributing it more widely. If you are interested in helping us test, please join me in #unrevokedtest on freenode.net.

I'll replace the content here with the links to the updated tool once we've finished testing.
i would test for you.....i wouldnt mind messing up my phone for development purposes

Nice work as usual. I have a bunch of people who upgraded and now want root. Look forward to the finished release.

I would like to test since I took the OTA and lost root, but I am unfamiliar with freenode and can't figure out what I need to do.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Well your loss then! Besides it was just sarcasm, don't take it so harshly.

Can't wait for this to get released so I can help my cousin root his phone.

    Go into drivers and find Android* and delete. This time when you install the drivers, select the root directory of the extracted modified drivers instead of 32-bit / 64-bit specifically. You should get some message that they are not signed. Accept to install anyway.

    Launch the unrevoked program without your phone connected. When prompred, connect your phone.

    Just an update, I rerooted with 3.21 and Amon's Recovery and everything worked great. Is there any perk to using Clockwork or should I just stick with what is working me me?

    Didn't wipe anything when I rooted my phone or my friend's. Superuser gets installed automatically, not sure about busybox.

    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?

    So it IS S-OFF right? If so, than the instructions are pretty much the same. Different files for recovery though.

    CWM 2.5.1.2 Link

    CWM 3.0.0.8 Link

    Just rename "PB31IMG.zip" and place on root of SD card. (Formatted FAT 32). It will install ClockWorkMod recovery. You can the flash a file to get root, or even better. Flash one of the great ROM's around here on XDA. But of course, flashing a ROM will wipe your phone, if that's important.
