First time rooting, issues.

[wareju]

Just got an incredible tonight, seem to be getting hung up in the root process. I'm following instructions here to root 2.3.4 and when I run unrevoked 2.33 it "fails to flash recovery image." I've installed the modified drivers and usb debugging etc is enabled. Is there a better root method, or way to downgrade without rooting? This is my first time on HTC so bear with me.

edit: About half way through the htcdev method, seems to be good. Stumbled on it right after I posted this of course..

Hey I've run into the same exact issue. Did the HTCdev method work, and if so any direction you can point me? First time ever rooting a phone and I've seemed to pick a difficult one. Got this incredibly for free so wanted to root it and make it my mp3 player to free up SD space on my Galaxy Nexus.

You should be using unrevoked 3.22, not 2.33.

Yeah I had the same issue with that... when your running 2.3.4 it is mainly the version of unrEVOked you use (if you follow the directions)found that out after the 5th version of the program. Also do not use z4root it never works. But yeah definitely make sure you have the right version compatible with your build of gingerbread/froyo
