i flashed the boot_signed.img from the official 1.36 rom and it works again
[HTC Incredible S] Nvidia32:
hello, can you explain why I can not restore wifi, even replacing the module BCM4329, and why when I want to flash the original boot_signed.img I have this error message: FAILED (remote: not allow)

how do you get it s-off?

afaik the XTC Clips doesnt work yet because no software update?

i flashed the boot_signed.img as boot.img of the #16 ... i got the boot_signed by downloading original 1.36 WWE Version as Zip, just replace them in P32IMG.zip and rename the signed.img to only boot.img
[HTC Incredible S] Nvidia32:
XTC Clip was updated this morning, it is compatible with the Incredible S ;)
[HTC Incredible S] fjqp:
Does anyone here own an XTC clip and lives in London? I'm ready to pay a small fee to have my IS S-OFFed.

Also, on an unrelated note -- I am somewhat of a noob so this is not obvious to me. Should we expect to have "famous" roms ported to the IS (e.g. Cyanogen)? or would this be too much effort given the seemingly small IS userbase?
[HTC Incredible S] androf:
W2 here :)

u r welcome, we can try it together in the shop where I work, u can pay a small fee
[HTC Incredible S] cooljais:
Anyone in delhi has XTC Clip... Even i can pay a small fee.

As for a cayanogen rom ... I should be able to release the first alpha within a few days of the public release of the root solution ... I will port it from the dhd most probably :)
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Knight, you can build it from source since thats generally available, If you port it from a DHD it will probably have more flaws than, it will be easier i guess :)

See what fits u but compiling from source with the IS drivers will probably work better!

O and if you want to know, i kinda hate the XTC, its taking away all the fun and the waiting... :( Its a hard quest to break trough, and that hardware thing, just to easy. haha

Greets timbo
[HTC Incredible S] tanleiqu:
Thanks for ur hard working.

But I just cant keep waiting.

The local merchant offers XTC unlocking service with 15usd charging. I'll be there tomorrow.
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
@timbo: hehe port or compile ... Ican make them both work well ... And ur right i hate the xtc too ... one cuzbit screws up all the fun ... And two cuz i cant buy it anyway :P
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
Well knightrocker go make it im curious, no port tho
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
The port would make it difficult to implement features the the front facing camera, building from source would be much cleaner.
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
EDIT: Point taken. I will compile.

I originally thought of chucking the idea of making a rom because i have to concentrate on my studies ... But now i think ill make one anyway :)

Cant load custom recovery for S-OFF Incredible S

I successfully used the XTC Clip to S-OFF my Incredible S. (HBOOT 1.13.0000 Radio 3805.04.03.27_M eMMC-boot).

My problem is I am now stuck and cant load a custom recovery. I tried the files from post #16 (renamed the recovery to PG32IMG.zip) but it says invalid model ID. I tried the unofficial clockwork mod recovery but after parsing PG32IMG.zip it just returns to the original HBOOT menu.

My phone is not rooted otherwise I could flash custom recovery via clockwork mod. I am already running the official 2.3.3 update and the exploits for temp root dont work. I also tried gingerbreak via the apk with no luck as well.

Appreciate any insights and help from the knowledgeable folks from this forum who have successfully rooted/installed a custom recovery on their S-OFF Gingerbread Incredible S.

Thanks.

Hi!

Please try my script in the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1036581

So you can see when/if gingerbreak fails and try some things.

Good luck!!

[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Did you try removing and reinserting your sdcard while this is running? Take it out completely and stick it back in.
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Btw don't wait so long, it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.. usually much faster. Better to start over...
[HTC Incredible S] vontdeux:
btw madmaxx, this is also what i got on few(1 desire S, and 1 IS to be exact) upon running your script. it is the same after 2-3 tries though, even tried what had worked on my IS(removing sdcard).

gave up on it and i did [downgrade to froyo > root > flash custom ROM]

waayyyy faster lol...

btw InAndOutOfTheMatrix, MAKE SURE YOU REBOOT BEFORE EACH ATTEMPT.
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
In my experience you don't need to reboot. The script removes everything in /data/local/tmp. Tried it a few times.. sometimes it took me 3-4 tries, but I never rebooted.. but you MUST remount the sdcard between the tries.

Vontdeux: you told me it worked with the script when you pulled the sdcard while gingerbreak was running.. it also worked for me (much faster) and others..

edit: maybe there are small differences in which rom you're running..
[HTC Incredible S] vontdeux:
yes, i think so too, all are gingerbread, but might be because of the difference in region or something.

and also, yes it worked for me and first 2 IS that i s-off+root(all not using OTA GB for their IS, but uses WWE EU and virgin aussie RUU), but not the latest 2 IS and 1 DS though (they're using OTA gingerbread South East Asia - Malaysia original Set for the IS and the DS is also SEA GB ROM but not OTA update of course.)
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Really strange.. nice info btw

Would be nice to know what happens if you just flashed the WWE rom and try again
[HTC Incredible S] vontdeux:
it works for both my RUU-ed GB ROM (both virgin aussie and WWE) on my phone..i dont know it is a phone related or ROM related, but my phone is from UK though. and the other two is imported phone too (that worked)
[HTC Incredible S] InAndOutOfTheMatrix:
My phone was OTA Gingerbread South East Asia. Nothing works. I have tried removing and inserting the SD card, mounting, unmounting, etc.

So I am stuck with an S-OFF but unrooted phone. I am thinking of trying the RUU WWE rom. Is there any way for me to flash this ROM so I can try to root again using madmaxx82's script?
[HTC Incredible S] gemini002:
I think its phone related I have a bell is s-off I made a gold card and flashed Aussie gb I tried 10 times using gingerbreak and it would not root also tried latest superoneclick

Root no root either ..so I flashed a custom Rom (Android hd) and I have root on gb now
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
It would be really nice to know if that works.. of course you can do it as vontdeux says.. downgrade to froyo, psneuter and then upgrade..

But it would be really nice to see if it works and IF it does, it's less work..

Just get the WWE Gingerbread rom and extract the rom.zip, name it PG32IMG, put it on your sdcard and boot into the bootloader..

Please see the section about upgrading to Gingerbread in my guide.. it should work the same for you.
[HTC Incredible S] InAndOutOfTheMatrix:
So how did you flash the custom rom gamini002? I can't even get a custom recovery flashed on my phone now to flash something else.
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
How did you do that without root?

Does the original htc recovery flash a testsigned update.zip if you're s-off?
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Are you really sure you are S-OFF? This sounds strange..
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
You could try that one:

http://www.filefactory.com/file/cbd...5AU_3805.04.03.12_M_release_185029_signed.exe

other mirror: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q8FZZCCR

start the installer, but don't click next..

go into your temp folder

(go to start/run and insert %tmp%) search the folder for rom.zip

name it PG32IMG.zip and place it on your sdcard..
[HTC Incredible S] InAndOutOfTheMatrix:
Yes. I looked at the screen and am sure I read "S-OFF" rather than "S-ON". :)

I am trying to download the Asia WWE RUU to see whether I can load it and then root from there. I already tried flashing the WWE RUU but no luck (got the "Incorrect Model ID" error).
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Strange! Yours is not a bell is it? :D

Maybe there are other phones with different modelid too.. but if the XTC Clip could do its work.. hmm

Could you also try the virgin one?
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Are you using a gold card?

If so, try with a non goldcard, if not, try with a goldcard ;)

Do you own an XTC Clip? Could you do it again?

Edit: is your Model# S710e? (settings/info/identity)

Could you check your modelid in build.prop?

Mine's ro.aa.modelid=PG3213000

(adb shell, vi /system/build.prop)
[HTC Incredible S] InAndOutOfTheMatrix:
I just tried flashing the WWE Asia ROM using the PG32IMG.zip method but got the invalid model id error. I will try again tomorrow using a goldcard.

Although, I did try flashing a custom recovery yesterday using my goldcard and a custom recovery from the chinese site but I also got an invalid model id error.

Sigh. Ive been trying since yesterday. Running out of ideas.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
quoting myself, sorry :D

Just because you might not have seen the edits..

Could you post your modelid?
[HTC Incredible S] InAndOutOfTheMatrix:
I can't run the vi command. I'm getting permission denied (probably because I am not rooted).

I have been reading around and it seems that none of the root exploits work on Gingerbread 2.3.3.

Anybody else here did the same procedure and ended up with a rooted phone?

OTA 2.3 Gingerbread update --> Use XTClip to S-OFF --> Root 2.3.3 --> Load Custom Recovery --> Flash custom ROM.

Is there a way to skip the Rooting part and still flash a custom recovery? (so I can flash a custom rooted ROM)?

Thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Gingerbreak should work. It's very strange that it didn't for you + you get wrong modelid when you try to flash the PG32IMG with the recovery inside.

You could try flashing the eng hboot attn1 posted packed inside an PG32IMG.

If you can install that you're done ;)

Then you can flash the recovery manually and root.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14456693&postcount=58

Try to flash the hboot!
[HTC Incredible S] InAndOutOfTheMatrix:
It worked! I was able to flash the HBOOT and then the custom recovery.

You are a life saver madmaxx82. Thanks for all your suggestions and feedback (not to mention your very quick response).

Hope somebody else benefits from this.
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
NP :)

Glad it finally worked. Thanks to attn1 for posting the eng-hboot in this form.

Is there any way to access the phones dictionary to edit and remove words from it?
[Droid X General] Maverick7r:
Yes, from your Home Screen press the "Menu" button, (bottom all the way to the left) and you should get a popup menu at the bottom of the screen. Press the "Settings" button in the bottom right hand side of the screen. From here scroll down the settings list until you see "Language & keyboard". Here you will receive a new menu and down at the bottom you should see "User dictionary", press this and you will receive a list of, (as the name suggests) user stored dictionary words. From here just scroll down the list until you find the word(s) you want to delete and a long press on them will bring up a menu. From here you can either "Edit" or "Delete" the word.

Now this is just for "User" added dictionary words... I'm not sure if there is a way to delete actual Android system dictionary words.

Hope this helps! :)

I have 3 SGS i9000 GT devices and it seems there is something strange happening with my newest device..

I thought flashing 2.3.3 with bootloader would help but it doesn't

This happend with 2.2 also..

I have installed stock 2.3.3, copied ROM (turbo GBread) flashed k13d kernel, gone into CWM and selected ROM installed it fine. Then am only able to see Recovery 3e !! CWM just dissapears! :(

If someone could please help me at all.

I thought loading a bootloader edition of JVK would fix the problem but it doesn't.

My other 2 GT devices (12 months old and 4 months old) do not have this same problem. I have no idea how to even decide what is the problem and who to ask, Voodoo CWM couldnt load on 2.2, I sent supercurio voodoo logs at his request but have not heard back.

Is this a known problem? Curio asked what the stock was on phone but I am unsure as I flashed darky rom to it as soon as I opened the box. If you need anymore information I would love it, I am sick of flashing it, Ive done it literally over 200 times in the last year and feel like a n00b all over again!

[Focus General] ryotgz:
Now that we have a way to install NoDo (if dev unlocked or via Chevron), I wanted to start a thread of unannounced fixes for the Focus.

My list so far. Feel free to post others in the thread and I'll try to update this post.

I can now use my phone with it laying on the couch, a pillow, etc. - Confirmed by others.

Not really a fix, but good news - The Chevron unlock persists through the upgrade (As long as you don't perform a hard reset).

Possible Zune audio improvement (more depth to the audio and louder). More testing to follow and need confirmation from others.
[Focus General] bennyj71:
Just tested it out for thirty minutes on sofa and a pillow. Check. What else you got?
[Focus General] FishFaceMcGee:
Do either of you have SD cards installed? I think the obvious test would be to deactivate any registry hacks you may have done and see if the performance drops again.
[Focus General] TOA Duck:
my question is does this help the sd card situation

I know thats a question and not a confirmation of a fix.....
[Focus General] bennyj71:
Yes,i have an 8GB card installed. What hacks are you talking about?
[Focus General] FishFaceMcGee:
These hacks. Better yet, if you haven't done the hacks, could you just look at those registry values and see if they're already set to the values the fix suggests?
[Focus General] bennyj71:
Have never done those hacks. I also did a hard reset last night as well. I don't know what issues you and TOA Duck are talking about with the SD card. Ever since people started using the vol down, camera, and power method I haven't heard of any problems. I've done it for four people. A 32GB, two 16GB, and a 8 GB card.
[Focus General] uwbadgers16:
what's the story on the audio? i don't have the update yet, and my focus has some light distortion when listening through headphones. does this fix that at all?
[Focus General] bennyj71:
Never had distortion in the headphones before the update. I'm sorry, I had some static a couple of times, but it was coming from the wire of the headphones swinging back and forth. If your issues is the phone then I don't know.
[Focus General] TOA Duck:
sorry but have you been living under a rock.

The sd card problems start after you get past the 8 gig mark. For a good test, filled up to almost completion. If you havent filled the capacity up to where it is almost full, thats when the problems start.
[Focus General] FishFaceMcGee:
I would be interested to know if that 32GB user is using more than 8GB of space.

Is there any way you can check your registry settings, or did you not reinstall one of the registry apps after you wiped your phone?

Another fix to check: if either of you have Zune Pass, did you ever experience the stuttering issue where the last second or two of a song will skip and stutter before changing to the next song? If so, can you check to see if it's still happening?
[Focus General] TOA Duck:
sorry fish I dont have a zune pass
[Focus General] hector_huerta:
I have 32 GB (Sandisk) with my Focus (unlocked) and I have used more than 20GB and Have Zune Pass, everything was working fine before NoDO update, and now is better with the NoDo update, I haven´t notice the couch thing, but now I am testing it and everything works great. :D
[Focus General] TOA Duck:
I am testing the 16 gb Sandisk that I have had all along to see if the NODo helped fix issues. I had to insert card and reformat (I lost my chevron unlock) and I am syncing 18 gb's of stuff to it now.

If it is better in the course of a week or so, I will simply do a restore to 7008 with the card still in it and then unlock agin and re update to NoDo. I hope it is better.
[Focus General] foxbat121:
Can any of you also post all the version numbers (OS version and firmware version etc.). I suspect there are more than an simple OS update.

The SD card issue is real (just check out the sticky thread) and very critical and I want to know if that is fixed or not. But unfortunately, it will take a few weeks before we know for sure. It seems the ppl that got the update so far have no clue about this issue or not experience this issue yet. We need those who know how to reproduce the issue to report their results here.
[Focus General] TOA Duck:
Yea I had one guy tell me yesterday in here I think that the issues with SD cards were fixed a long time ago.......LOL

Not sure where he's been

I cannot post original numbers of settings (firmware, radio,etc....) because when I reformatted with 3 finger salute it automatically kept NoDo.
[Focus General] FishFaceMcGee:
Some posted a picture of their About screen which I compared to my Pre-Nodo phone and I didn't think I saw any differences, but I'll just post my stuff so you can compare.

[Focus General] TOA Duck:

[Focus General] TOA Duck:
Synced 18 gb to phone and now restoring to pre nodo, then I will update again and keep my eye on it to see if it remains stable.

If this works many of you with unstable cards may be able to keep them and use without having to buy new cards.
[Focus General] TOA Duck:
well I screwed up, I cannot restore my phone so I am stuck without chevron I guess untill someone figures out how to unlock again.

Atleast I have Nodo.
[Focus General] ryotgz:
I only have a 4GB card in my phone. I want to put a bigger card in mine, but don't was to lose Chevron when I hard reset. Anyone notice that when playing audio that it sounds better? Mine always seemed pretty shallow (no bass, etc.) Now it sounds better on my headphones. Haven't tried hooking it up to my car yet.

[Focus General] kawgirlval69:
just to throw it out there... did the 000-88 reg edit... loaded nodo while the phone was chevron unlocked... still is after the update... and it still sideloads.... copy/paste is taking some getting used to but seems good... no problems on this end... and the sd card in it was the samsung 16gb
[Focus General] liquidiq:
The audio does seem to sound better. The bluetooth system in my WRX doesn't haven't to be turned up as much anymore either (at 15 on the Focus). On some crappy earbuds I still had to turn it up quite a bit (25 plus) to hear it at the gym.

I was really hoping for some better volume controls (seperate for each "endpoint" of the device) but maybe next time.
[Focus General] bkaul:
I hadn't done those hacks, and with NoDo, those registry values are still set to 1, not 0 as in the hack. I don't know whether they're at all effective or not, but the NoDo update does not change them.
[Focus General] mlekas:
Post-NoDo update

just a quick note now that I've been running ~12 hours with NoDo on my Focus. The registry hack for SD Card power management is still intact, as are some other hacks. I have a 32GB MicroSD card which kept its contents intact, except I don't have pictures on the local phone any more. Not sure why, but this isn't a big deal for me since I have them all archived elsewhere.

After setup was complete, I disconnected the phone from the PC & noticed the battery icon was still showing the charging state (e.g. battery with plug). This didn't go away until another reboot. I tried testing copy/paste and noticed it would consistently select words 1-2 lines below where I was pressing. This also cleared up after a reset.

Like some others have posted, i do not notice the restarting of applications as particularly faster - maybe a little faster with Hexic Rush ... Really it's hard to say. Feed Reader 2.0 loaded contents really fast the first time, but reactivating the app is about the same speed as it was before. Marketplace functionality is improved, with smoother transition between items and less crashes. That said, I still crashed in marketplace & the phone reset, so the problems aren't completely solved.

Battery life seems improved, but again it's only been less than a day so we'll see. I did uninstall a bunch of applications before the upgrade (I wasn't using them and didn't want to waste time backing them up), so maybe some of those apps were eating battery, who knows. The phone itself works as before - same signal strength, same call quality etc.

In summary, the upgrade went well and my phone is still alive. The upgrade was a real pain so if you're not into pain you might want to wait for the carrier push.
