Root method without adb in recovery!! Plus custom recovery included!

[Aatrek]

Okay, so unrevoked is out for the Incredible. Let's say I go through the process, root the phone, and put a custom rom on there (once I figure out how to do all of that).

Is there a way to take a "snapshot" of how the phone is currently set up, and a way to undo the entire process to go back to the exact state my phone is in now, pre-root?

I was going to wait to root after froyo but I might just do it now haha

Hey I know its been covered but what does this do in terms of leaving a trace and violating warranty?? What I mean is if you for some reason you need to insurance/warranty replace your phone, does this method leave a trace that will violate those terms? Also, if root is noticeable to "the man", is there a way to revert to stock (assuming your phone isn't dead)??

Thank you I'm advanced

Halp??

FYI - using the PB31IMG.zip to unroot your phone - will wipe out all your settings and apps etc

I am now going back and trying to remember all my apps to download

I had to do the same thing, but when I went into the market under Downloads, all of my apps were there, I just had to reinstall them.

yeah - I saw that too - but don't exit out of the market app before you're done downloading them all - that list goes bye bye and you're left with only your purchased and currently installed apps listed there

That's why I use appbrain. Super simple, works hand in hand with the market, and now they have one press web installs from their site to your phone.

Well, it looks like the problem wasn't with HTC Sync, but with the usb drivers. It didn't work in Ubuntu either. Downloaded it to my Mac, and voila - everything just worked!

Thank you Unrevoked for this process. I could not get root with the earlier process. I followed instructions to a tee and it worked flawlessly.

Unrevoked worked without a hitch... is it safe to run *228 to update the cell towers?
Thanks!

 

[Qazme]

Yes the prl updates and phone programming from *228 option 1 and 2 are totally safe.

Your warranty is gone as soon as you flash a different recovery. You can revert back to none rooted condition later if you need to.
