You will need to download two files and extract them.

  • dinc_2.3.4_unlock_files.zip - Contains all the little files you need to work with your droid. It's just a compilation of the links in the next section.
  • PB31IMG for froyo: PB31IMG.zip # md5: 31bb1611a0fa8197d447c0438426717e
Then, you'll need to go to HTCdev - Unlock Bootloader and register an account.

Finally, install the Android SDK Platform Tools.

You will need to get the proper drivers to interface with your phone. You can choose either to install HTCSync for the drivers, or better yet, use the modified HTC drivers from revolutionary. Follow the instructions there to install them.

First, unzip your mini-adb-inc.zip file into the root folder of your hard drive, such as C:\. This means the top level, not inside any folders, so just copy and paste the folder onto C:\ with everything else that is there.

You actually can call it whatver you want,but directions from here forward will assume this folder to be named miniadb_inc

Open a command window. In Windows 7, click the start bubble in the lower left and type command in the search box to find the Command Prompt application. In Windows XP, go to Run and type cmd.exe to run it.

Type the following at the prompt in your cmd window to change to your miniadb_inc directory. 

cd c:\miniadb_inc
Your command prompt should display c:\miniadb_inc> provided you:
  1. unzipped the miniadb_inc zip
  2. put the folder on your c drive
  3. didn't change the name
Now make sure usb debugging is checked in settings/apps/development on your phone,and plug your phone into your PC with a usb cable

Make sure your phone is being recognized- type: 

adb devices
If your drivers are installed correctly, this should show your phone's serial number. You should hear the found device noises when you plug your phone in. if it starts installing drivers,wait for it to finish before typing the adb devices command.
