z4root worked perfectly. Permanent root the first try. I'm now installing all my apps.

Ok it worked took awhile and when it booted back up I had no service but then rebooted and its works as it did before just fine I don't really need use bootstraper for a backup until I start using custom roms? So now what? Lol

Actually its a good idea to make a backup before modifying any system files. That means over/underclock, changing icons with metamorph etc.. It's not just for roms. Good to get used to using clockwork recovery anyway. Then you can overclock, freeze bloatware, change boot animations, fonts and icons, even if you don't want to mess with roms yet

There is a great app called Quickclock advanced. It will calibrate your phone and give you the safe upper and lower limits within which your phone will perform well and save battery. It syncs up well with the droid overclock app

I don't believe so... I've never personally tried it but im pretty sure it doesn't... each phone uses a different security exploit to root and this method is specific to the x

The easiest way to root the incredible is UNREVOKED. Granted you will need a computer to run it. But it does not require you to get involved with ADB or anything of that sort.

Just tried this method with the ota 2.3 and to no surprise it don't work. I'm still wondering why people are wanting to root the ota when the new "ice cream sandwich" os is rumored to be released for all android based phones this coming christmas. Don't quote me just google it.
