Root the Droid Incredible with Unrevoked
Unrevoked will flash a custom recovery image to your phone allowing you to perform advanced tasks on your system partition. Basically it roots your phone to unlock the features that you already have but are blocked.

NOTE: Users have reported that this should be done on a windows machine without HTC Sense installed. HTC Sense interferes with Unrevoked3’s root process.
If you have issues with granting superuser rights to your phone aka running titanium and it telling you your phone does not have root permissions, Download busybox from the market and install it, this will fix the issue.
