unrevoked3 is a tool to flash a custom recovery image to your Android phone. A custom recovery image allows you to perform advanced tasks on the system partition, such as flashing custom ROMs and taking a full backup of your phone (a “nandroid” backup). We recommend installing the custom recovery image for all users who want rooted phones.
It can be obtained from [Only registered users can view links. ].
At this time, unrevoked3 works on all versions of the supported phones, thanks to the exploit discovered by Sebastian Krahmer.
Windows users, please download and install these HBOOT drivers.

■Sprint EVO 4G (HTC Supersonic)
■Droid Incredible (HTC Incredible)
■HTC Desire GSM

unrevoked3 will permanently unlock NAND write protection by default on the following phones:

We have noticed that the core mechanisms behind unrevoked3 may apply to other rooted current-generation HTC phones running Android 2.2. At this time, the tool does not support other phones; if you have an unsupported phone of that description, please get in contact with us.

■v3.2:

W/ Root explorer I was able to move a lot of bloatware to a storage dir!
EDIT: I did this before Unrevoked pulled the update due to 2 EVO owners. I updated on a Stock DInc with update.zip Froyo. No S-Off prior to Root. When Unrevoked Re-Publishes this works on a non-Rooted, Non S-Off, Stock Install.
FOLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!!!!!
Windows users need to install the HBOOT Drivers!
I did have issues updating with Visa. Windows XP worked like a champ.

Good. Can't wait for them to bring it back up again. I am a stock Inc with 2.2 update.zip as well, so I am looking forward to this without having to downgrade.
My main purpose for this (initially) is to move/remove bloatware. Hopefully mine will go as flawlessly as you did (since I will be using XP).

Anyway you could post the install file? Seems like the only issues were with the EVO
