this is his method: according to him it does not have the su apk.

Root process, my regurgitation of it, with Perm Part added.

I DID NOT MAKE THE ROOT PROCEDURE ALL PROPS GO TO THE TEAM AT
UNREVOKED. I just tacked on the perm procedure and regurgitated it in my own words. \

************DISCLAIMER**********
I nor anyone else is responsible if you break your phone. try this at your own risk!!

Original procedure here:

I am just compiling the Current procedure here.

Install the android SDK
Android SDK | Android Developers

Install HTC Sync

Download these three files and place them into your android/tools folder
http://www.shadowmite.com/temp/payload-update.zip
http://www.unrevoked.com/incredible/ota.zip
http://www.unrevoked.com/incredible/busybox

Shut down your phone and plug it into USB

Click on start
then on box at the bottom of your start menu
type cmd

a command window will pop up

navigate to the android SDk Tools directory

type edit loop.bat
in the edit program enter the following lines exactly

Code:
@ECHO OFF
:TOP
adb shell
goto TOP
Save the file

type loop and press enter

you should see the screen fill up with "error: device not found"

Press and hold the volume down button then press the power button. Once it starts booting, release the buttons.

Wait a couple seconds.

Use the volume down once to highlight recovery

press the power button

wait a few seconds within 5-10 seconds it should change from "error: device not found" to "exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -"


If you do not get this message within 5-10 seconds pull the battery and do it over again.

Once you get the above message then click on the cmd window and press ctrl-C to stop the batch file.

now you should still be in the triangle with the ! screen. press vol up and power to go back to the menu. DO NOT REBOOT.

Press vol down to apply: update.zip and press the power button

It will fail at this.

Go back to the CMD window and type the following commands.

Code:
adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox
adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip
Now type the next command but DO NOT PRESS ENTER YET

Code:
adb push payload-update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
Now press the power button on Apply: update.zip within 1/2 second press enter on the command window to execute the above command.

If successful you should see

“unrEVOked for Incredible” with some other stuff

Now type the following commands to make it persistent through reboot

Code:
adb shell
su
/system/bin/cat /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/su
/system/bin/chmod 4777 /system/bin/su
to get rid of city id do this

Code:
/system/bin/rm /system/app/CityID.apk
choose reboot from the menu and Your phone will now reboot and you will have​

I'm rooted and loving it.... nice to have a little freedom.... in time I'm sure there will be a package to do it all easily... for now though, this method works for me each and every time.

For those having trouble.... take a look... I have gathered up all the info and put it in one thread.

Increcible ROOT, SU, CUSTOM RECOVERY..... "the collection of info in one place"

Unfortunately, the recovery isn't persistent.

I hear ya.... get on it will ya? lol

I'm sure it won't be long.... honestly I'm stumped as root means root.... so there has to be a way of breaking the protection.
