waiting for root

[fatboy2000]

hello all: im as newbie as it gets with this rooting,but very good at following instructions and very computer savy.I have a droid incredible with software 2.2,which Im trying to root.using unrevoked 3.21 I have followed all instructions to the tee,all goes well till the end,it says waiting for root,and stays that way for as long as you leave it. Ive tried 4 different computers all running win 7,one 64 bit,the other 3 are 32 bit,all with same result,(waiting for root) I first loaded the modified usb driver from unrevoked, it shows android bootloader interface good to go under android phone in device manager.I start the reflash program, made sure usb debugging was on made sure phone was connecting in charge mode,made sure unknown sources could be installed. I even tried installing htc sync,then uninstalling,because another site said drivers from htc sync were needed. nothing has got me by waiting for root. I have seen this same problem over and over on many different sites,but as of yet to see one fix, the procedure for unrevoked 3.21 seems very simple and straight forward, but every answer Ive seen to this problem,points back to original instructions,which Ive done over and over. any new ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanx in advance.

Did you install the maintenance update that came out recently? You can't root your device if you have it installed. The update fixes the exploit that unrevoked uses to root your phone.

thanks alot for your reply anotherxyz, did the maintenace update come with the latest ota update?,how do you check to see for sure? as I said Im brand new to this,I just want to be able to get rid of junk programs that came with the phone,eating up the battery,I dont understand why one has to go through all this to delete what you dont like on the phone,when you buy a computer you can delete whatever you dont like or use,thanx again!!

Look for the slacker app, If you have it then your screwed like me, Not to worry tho unrevoked is working on a new reflash, so for now we have to sit and wait for unrevoked to work there magic

It will all be good soon im sure, sit tight and keep checking the forums
