Here is the real story, the pics were fake, not from Jake day but some fraudulent member.

James friend also never had root and was lying to him.

So there we are and I am so so sick of all the BS and the flaming and lying!

I just got a passed down possible super boot thanks to Paul over at Modaco.
I am away from my PC for the next 2 days, experienced Devs PM me and let's see if this works.

well, i am no dev, but i would like to say thank you in advance, haha. can't wait to get this phone and then root it. i am glad to hear that there is good interest in this phone. i pre ordered mine as well and can not wait! been without a smartphone for a couple months. sold my tp2 in prep for something better coming out. it was a long wait but i am sure it will be worth it.

i wish you and all who work on this project the best, and most speedy, of luck. thanks again

I have created a custom recovery.img from Ama_ra's source, so if fastboot is unlocked then we can just flash the recovery.img via fastboot and flash a custom ROM.

I used the xmoo shipped ROM for the images.

but if its not unlocked then we can try fastboot oem unlock and see if it unlocks the bootloader, but this will 100% void your warranty.

I have also created an update.zip but the shipped ROM might be newer than the leaked images from (xmoo)

I've already tried fastboot oem unlock on the Incredible and it doesn't work. Hardware similarities aside, rooting the device won't be as easy as the Nexus One.

The root for the desire and legend has not been released yet, sooooo as soon as Paul releases it, the same way should work for the inc. Just hold on tight, it should not be too much longer.

binny and acidbath, at it again!
My hope is that this thread does not get infested with the snipes and snots that haunted some of your other efforts.

I also hope you guys can root the Incredible before I'm eligible to get one!

Yeah Paul over at modaco....I am waiting for what he has got...
And yes in all probability it should work or at least quickly to us rooting the Incredible...
But even if Paul does get it.....I will still be hosting a Kitchen I have working on here as well as ROMs down the road....
Hope to see your stuff to Binny1007 :)

Cheers!

I'm not a developer by any means, but I'm always willing to test pretty much anything. I've been keeping a close eye on this phone for a few months now and pre-ordered on the 19th, just checked the order status page on VZW and it says "Your order has been processed. You should receive your order within 2 - 3 business days." Man, I cannot wait to get my hands on this bad boy!

Which is why I'm getting the best buy maintenance program. They have no deductible and you can change your phone out as often as you like. :). Walk in get another one and leave. I do believe that they will start using refurbs when they become available if they have them at the store you visit.
