[How To] Regain Root With S-Off or HTC unlocked bootloader

Please note, the files listed here should only be used on the original Droid Incredible.

So you accepted the Gingerbread OTA or decided to run an RUU and now Unrevoked 3 doesn't work. If you're still S-Off from being rooted previously, here's how to get back to root:

1/19/12 update: If you unlocked your bootloader via the HTC website, you will still be s-on but these instructions may be used. Skip straight to step #2 now if this describes your situation.

1.) Unsure of s-off status? Power off phone, hold volume down while pressing power button to enter hboot. Look near top of the screen. If it says s-off, you're good.

2.) SD card must be formatted to FAT32. Once that's done, download the following file, rename to PB31IMG and place on the root of the SD card:

3.) Download Superuser and place the zip on the SD card also. This does NOT need to be renamed:

4.) With both files on SD card, power off phone. Then press and hold volume down and the power button simultaneously until the hboot screen appears. PB31IMG should now be auto-recognized. When prompted, press volume up to load it. When done, follow the instructs to reboot.

5.) Remove the PB31IMG from the SD card.

6.) Power down, then go back to hboot. Use the volume keys to select "Recovery", press power button to select and enter Clockwork. Now select "Install zip from SD card", then "Choose zip from SD card", then navigate to the Superuser zip you placed on the card in step 3. Select and load it. (NOTE: For those that don't typically load zips directly in CWM, use the trackpad button to make selections in CWM, the power button brings you back one menu.)

7.) With Superuser now loaded, choose the Clockwork option to reboot to system. If you don't see it at first, press the power button once to go back one menu and it'll be there. Now should be rooted with Clockworkmod recovery.
