Cool. And the CM6 for the Incredible should be more or less the same user experience for the Incredible?
Update to 2.2 Froyo and Have ROOT the easy way!

Yeah pretty much every ROM is the same. Not so sure I would call it the same user experience since CM doesn't use the same dial meaning you lose the T9 contact searching etc. None of the Sense widgets etc. The menu's are slightly different and you can customize the colors etc without having to 'theme' it. However with that being said as far as apps etc you can run pretty much the same stuff as long as it doesn't require sense ui to work correctly.
Cool. She's not so savvy and I promised to root and "pimp" her phone in the span of one afternoon. I have CM6 on my EVO and love it. If formatting hers is like formatting mine, I'm all set. Thanks for all of the help! Here's hoping root goes well...
2nd random reboot, again while sending a text via Handcent. I'm going to uninstall and reinstall as you mentioned and see if that helps. *fingers crossed*!!!
Ok,
After you've unrevoked and unrevoked forever.. Is it necessary to leave the "special" android drivers on the computer.. or can they be removed?

Well they can be removed if you never plan on using the tools again. But they aren't hurting anything being there, or slowing anything down. I would just leave them on so when / if you need them again they are there.
I finally got the root and s-off!! YAY!! no problems now- she's smooth running!! Thanks Qazme for all your help and lurking on xda site as well YAY!!
Sorry to be a newb about all this, but lets say I successfully ran unrevoked 3.2 on my stock 2.2 froyo inc and made a nandroid backup. Is there any need at this point to run unrevoked forever?
5 days and no response, eh? Maybe its cause its in a sticky, but I honestly don't believe that....
I need someone to email me and talk me through what's going on with my phone. I've rooted and unrooted several times trying to get my phone to where I want it and I think I've messed it up and don't know what to do to fix it. I don't want to write a book in here explaining what is going on with my phone, I need someone who really knows a bit about this that could help me. To give you an idea, I'm on 2.2 but it came after I rooted it as a message saying an update was available. I updated, but when I try to download a rom it gives me the black screen with a ? for a while I was only getting the ! but now ? AND as of today, my market icon disappeared and have no clue where it went. I cant even unroot now using the PB31 file because the version on my phone is more up to date then on that file. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP before I do an insurance claim for nothing. I'm sure it can be fixed, I know I'm just missing something. I'm new to all this.
Finally!
Thank you so much! Followed the instructions to the letter and everything worked perfectly. I just wasted most of a weekend trying to accomplish this. Once I found this post, it took about 30 minutes (mostly booting/rebooting/backing up).
Thanks again!

* S-ON : Security On (does NOT write directly boot from NAND)
* S-OFF : Security Off (writes directly boot from NAND)

This didn't help at all.
I guess I should phrase the question differently. What is the difference between unrevoked 3.2.1 (or whatever the latest version is) and unrevoked forever.
I know I have s-off, at least I've seen it on my phone. But I have not run unrevoked forever.
From the wiki page, first line:
unrevoked forever is a tool to set your Android phone's security level to S-OFF.
The key word here being "tool". Just like Unrevoked 3.21 is a "tool" to root your device, forever is a separate "tool" to achieve s-off.
If you have s-off already then you dont need to use unrevoked forever.
Look, I'm not tyring to get into a war of words or a I'm right, your wrong type of thing here. I simply just wondered what the difference is between unrevoked 3.2.1 and unrevoked forever.
I understand forever is a tool to achieve s-off. I understand that 3.2.1 is a tool used to root...this is how I rooted. From this I can only gather 2 assumptions....3.2.1 is also a tool used to achieve s-off and/or forever is a tool used to achieve s-off without rooting?
The last part makes no sense to me as I thought rooting and s-off kind of went hand in hand or that you could root with 3.2.1 and not have s-off.
Do you see my confusion here? I'm ok if you don't know the correct answer and at the very least I appreciate the response.
I'm just trying to figure it out. Its apparant from some posts by others here too that I am not the only one that is interested in this.Look, I'm not tyring to get into a war of words or a I'm right, your wrong type of thing here. I simply just wondered what the difference is between unrevoked 3.2.1 and unrevoked forever.

Neither am I and if i came off as being brash I am sorry, that was not my intention at all. Just trying to be as clear as possible to help you out. I did some research and it looks like Unrevoked 3.2.1 now achieves s-off in the root process. Older versions of Unrevoked, prior to 3.2 it did not so you needed to use Unrevoked forever to achieve s-off. 3.1 also wasnt able to root the OTA Froyo when it was first being pushed to devices, so this thread was started to show the easiest way to get Froyo and still have root.
So to sum up and hopefully all be on the same page:
Unrevoked 3.2.1= Rooting tool that NOW also achieves s-off in the process
Unrevoked Forever=Tool for achieving s-off only
Again my apologies for not fully understanding your question, I didnt know that 3.2.1 now achieves s-off while rooting, and I thought you weren't getting the differences between the two tools.
