A new version of the popular Unrevoked tool is now available, offering support for flashing a custom recovery image on even more Android-based handsets from HTC than before.

According to the development team, the new version of the application has been through some extensive testing, and should work pretty nicely with a series of handsets out there, including the DROID Incredible or the HTC EVO 4G.

Currently, the software solution is available for download for the following devices: Sprint EVO 4G (HTC Supersonic), Droid Incredible (HTC Incredible), HTC Desire GSM, HTC Desire CDMA (HTC BravoC), HTC Aria, Droid Eris (HTC DesireC), and HTC Wildfire (HTC Buzz).

Following the release of Unrevoked 3.2, which came with support for Froyo builds, support for CDMA Desire and the option to disable security on supported CDMA devices, the new version of the application is here with some more features.

The release notes of Unrevoked 3.21 include: - Perform validation of the 'misc' partition before we start to ensure that it's safe for us to root your phone - Changes timing of root process to make it more reliable (requires one extra reboot now)

In case there are some who might have not encountered the solution until now, we should note that it is a “tool to flash a custom recovery image to your Android phone,” as its developers note.

“A custom recovery image allows you to perform advanced tasks on the system partition, such as flashing custom ROMs and taking a full backup of your phone (a “nandroid” backup). We recommend installing the custom recovery image for all users who want rooted phones,” they continue.

Starting with version 3.0 of the application, Unrevoked also provides root access on supported devices, in addition to replacing the stock Android recovery with a custom one.

Additional info on what Unrevoked is all about can be found here. More details on how to root the DROID Incredible or on how to download the solution can be found at Droid-Life here.

It's a common fact that rooting your Android device, or any other phone, for that matter, results in voided warranty, so those who will try out the new solution would do so at their own risk.
