Root help

[badogg]

Hey everyone,

I've already rooted my Droid Incredible, and it was an pretty simple process to do. I've browsing around these fascinate forums for a little bit as my wife wants me to root hers to get rid of a lot of the bloat, and possibly check out other Roms. I just want to make sure I'm looking at the correct guides as one says that it is basically old info, and another just seems to be old to me.

So I was just hoping someone could point me in the right direction for a guide is all as if I break her phone, I'm sure she'll Lorena Bobbit me.

Much appreciated!

I'll need root to remove the bloatware like Skype and whatever else, right?

what he is saying is once you use ODIN to install clockwork recovery, all you do is flash a ROM after wiping and resetting your phone, and you have a custom rom installed. I am assuming your wife's Fassy is running the latest OTA, whichever it is....download ODIN to a PC, there are a couple guides out there that include ODIN, and the ED05 rom/PIT combo. directions are pretty straight forward as most roms have them in the first post. read up on the ROMs and decide which you would like to run, being a Cyanogen man since the OG Droid, I would recommend it...fast, good battery life...but MIUI is a really slick rom as well, a little iphone-ish as you have to have all your apps on your homescreens, but Folders help you there...and you can still have widgets...the ability to have Android widgets are one of the many reasons why iPhones will never be in my hand...

anyway, check out the instructions to unbrick and also to return to anyother rom from a CM7/MIUI build as they completely change the filesystem, so if you want to go back to Touchwiz based roms, you will need to go through ODIN again with the ED05/PIT package before installing TW roms...

enjoy and ask away, plenty of helpful people here, but always search search search, you may find your answer faster than waiting for responses on the forum!

I agree with the above, but if you only want to root the stock rom then follow this guide in link.
