I am currently in the process of updating my oskitchen build for the HD2. Currently I have it running on sense 2.5 2018 which is standard that comes with the leo 3.14.

I am looking to update the packages as much as possible and have tried searching here and google to see if there are newer versions of sense. I have seen sense 2021 floating arround but cant find any download links. Can someone tell me where to download it? I am also looking for the htc messaging 2022 as well

OTA Updates

Thanks for the thanks ;)

NP

Does anyone know if your phone would still get OTA Updates after doing it this way?

I guess so, but then of course you would need to repeat those steps after you installed an official update.
[HTC Incredible S] TimMun:
I don't know the answer to this question but first I would like to actually see an update :p
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Haha, it was really funny coincidence. After I s-offed the phone I got an OTA :D

BTW: If anyone wants to be S-OFF and doesn't mind visiting me in Austria, I'd help you out. For free of course ;)
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
well if u use stock rom and rooted that one, you will get notified that there is an update, but im not totaly sure if it installs (especially when u use custom recovery, than its a nogo)
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Thanks, so if it doesn't work you'd need to reflash the original recovery first..
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
If you do it you will fail and end flashin a standard rom with hboot xD

Been there.... Better first update than flash the recovery or you will be busy for a few ^^
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Ahh thanks for the warning ;)

Since the custom recovery is installed already anyway when there's an OTA update available, wouldn't the following work?

If I get notified about an available OTA update, I could flash a complete RUU, then get the OTA and afterwards re root + reflash the custom recovery?
[HTC Incredible S] nikant:
Newbies question: if you just want root in order to use i.e. titanium I suppose you don't need to install PG32IMG right?
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Correct. Its only needed to flash custom roms.
[HTC Incredible S] criosray:
Sorry for newb question... What does S-OFF mean?
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Read the rooting topic in the dev section,

But to make it easy for you: S-OFF means Security Off.

Which allows us to (over)write system files
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
And nandroid ;) Can't live without it... of course especially if you flash custom roms, but also if you don't, titanium is just not always 10.000% enough :D
[HTC Incredible S] Nvidia32:
There is another recovery available from GOAPK with Reboot function that works.
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
can you confirm that it fully works with backin up and restoring?

since the current one failes at restoring

;p

testing it...

first try to backup FAIL <- Error while generating md5 sum!

second time as well this is a major failing recovery
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
I am going to try porting clockwork myself from scratch tonight
[HTC Incredible S] Nvidia32:
With this recovery in the first post, I had an error at the time of restoration, with the one I posted, an error of md5 sum, but with the tutorial as an attachment, the worries of md5 sum is adjusted by 5 minutes;)

So I can now restore quietly after each crash, as I try to adapt a framework-res.apk to my Incredible S
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Just at it now :D

creating md5 sums failed.. restore of course also failes..

I just restored a previously created backup with the one from llnhhy successfully
[HTC Incredible S] Nvidia32:
So we have a recovery that has all the functions, but has trouble creating md5 sum, and another that did not have the reboot function with a problem of restore, by mixing the two should do it .. . ;)

And even flash it with a Saskatel Froyo ROM.

I downloaded the OPTUS, Vigin and Europe ROMS, and every time tried flashing I get.

unziped the files,

removed the booter file,

modified android.txt and added the lines described.

However, when I try flashing the ROM, I get a CID incorrect!!!!!!!!!

I really want to get GB, how do I overcome this?
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:

Any suggestions? Did I mess up making my gold card?

Update: I've now tried the Virgin AU and HTC WWE ROMs and neither of them will install either. Same behavior, from hboot it goes through the install with the blue bar, checking with the gold bar then goes back to the hboot menu and just waits for me to tell it what to do. I don't get a CID error, no error at all actually. Any suggestions? This isn't my first dance but I'm thoroughly stumped.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
OK, from your HBOOT screen is shows you have a Incredible s Model s710d, which is very similar to the Verizon Droid Incredible 2. I noticed today the Football has added some a new S710d RUU to the list. My suggestion would be to try some of the RUU that are labeled RUU_VIVO_W in particular you might try the latest one that was added:

[HTC Incredible S] coffeedragon:
My phone isn't like the VZW DI2, it IS the DI2 :D I just picked it up two days ago and like an idiot, installed the OTA GB upgrade which has been patched for Gingerbreak. Now I can't downgrade to a ROM that supports Alpharevx which means no s-off, no root and no flashing. If I can't get s-off so I can flash I'm taking the phone back because the bloatware and battery life of the stock rom make it completely useless.

I'll post an update after I try flashing to the newest ROM Football just posted. Fingers crossed...
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
If it is a VD2, then the IncS RUUs are not going to work and that would explain the results you are getting when attempting to run one. The bootloader finds the PG32IMG.zip file and verifies it, but then when it checks the model, it sees you are trying to flash a VIVO ROM on a VIVO_W phone and it prevents you from doing that.
[HTC Incredible S] coffeedragon:
:(

So the latest posted stock ROM won't flash onto the VZW 2.18.605.4 GB ROM. Looks like I'm out of luck for getting a software S-OFF. Now I'll have to go through the hassle of Clipping it.

Guess we need a new exploit for the latest VZW ROM. Any takers?
[HTC Incredible S] coffeedragon:
I figured that's what was happening, it would just be nice if it would tell you that. I guess that's asking too much.

Luckily there are two XTC Clips in the eastern US, I'll just have to fork over a few $ and get a permanent S-OFF. The upside being I can get S-OFF for the radio with the Clip as well :D
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yeah I bought an 'unlocked' Bell Incredible S on EBay to use on AT&T and was pleasantly surprised when I got it and found that the way it was unlocked was via a XTC Clip! Didn't even have to do the AlphaRevX process because it was already S-OFF.

Thanks so much guys, I'm really trying hard to learn :)
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes you need to upgrade the radio if you install that ROM because you are currently running a Froyo radio and it will absolutely not work with a Gingerbread ROM. The radio that Mike advises works just fine on Canadian IncS.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Awesome!!! thanks so much, like I said I'm fairly new to the ROMS and RADIOS and I didn't want to render mu phone useless if the radio didn't work. So should I flash the ROM first and then the new Radio or should I do the radio first??? I already have radio off becasue the one I'm using is not the stock radio.

Thanks again for helping me understand
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
In my case, I flashed the Gingerbread ROM first just to make sure it would take, because once you flash a Gingerbread radio, you cannot go back and flash a Froyo radio and ROM. You are stuck with using a Gingerbread ROM.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Cool thanks again, ill give it a shot and hopefully ask goes well :) I appreciate the help :)
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Whats the best way for me to flash a new Radio?? CMW?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
I used the PG32IMG.zip method and let HBOOT find and load the PG32IMG.zip file.

This method involves downloading the radio.zip file and copying it to the root of your SD card and renaming it PG32IMG.zip. Then you just reboot into HBOOT and it will find the file and ask if you want to apply the update.

For this to work, the radio.zip file should contain 2 files: the radio.img itself and a 'android-info.txt' file. If the radio.zip file you download is not in this format, then this method won't work.

Since you have AlphaRevX, you can also use 'fastboot flash' command to install the radio.
[HTC Incredible S] n4naveen:
what is XTC clip , please someone tell me , is it completely safe to S-off incredible s ? ... safe to root with alpharevx method ? ... is it safe to install custom ROMs and custom Kernels ?? ... everything is revertable right ? ... if not please tell me the "not-to-dos'".. I just bought an incredible s day before ... i m a noob :( .... I previously used X10i , but it was very simple to root and install custom roms n kernels .. never had a single problem/risk ... everything revertable on x10i. Is it same with this incredible s too ? .... what are the main terms I should learn about ? ...like xtc -clip , goldcard , radio s-off .. couldnt find any info on these terms in incredible s section :( .. please help bros !! ... :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
An XTC Clip is a hardware device that costs between 30 and 150 USD (depends on which one you buy. The cheap one has only 1 charge to unlock 1 device, the otherone is unlimited)

Using Alpharev is quite safe. You would read lots of posts of ppl having bricked their phones otherwise ;)

It is completely 100% safe to install custom roms and kernels

You won't want to revert ;)

Alpharev S-OFF (and root) is possible to be undone by flashing an official RUU (firmware).

Follow the guide to use alpharev to S-OFF your incredible s.

After that, everything will be very simple.
[HTC Incredible S] n4naveen:
that was a very quick reply ! ...

I s-offed using alpharevx method , installed android revolution hd ROM thru CWM recovery .. it worked fine except the radio ... then i installed lordmodue kernel using CWM recovery again ... it was stuck at htc boot logo ... what have i done wrong in here ? ...

2.I could'nt find a guide to Radio S-off ... and how to find out which custom rom works on a specific custom kernel .. because in most threads they only mentioned about their custom kernels but not which rom to use along with it ...

3. please suggest one good custom ROM and custom kernel for my requirements

~Don't want sense

~overclocked

~should be very light and smooth with maximum undervolting applied for best battery life.

~possibly prefer the stock apps like stock messaging app,camera etc ..
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Radio S-OFF is only possible with an XTC Clip, but you don't need it!

Edit: Radio S-OFF has nothing to do with flashing new radios.

You can still flash a new radio.

I'd suggest you stick with the kernel that comes with the custom rom you installed.

If you don't want sense, take a look at cyanogenmod. A very stable rom with very very good battery life is android revolution hd.

You can flash the "no sense" script after you flashed the rom to get rid of most of sense. It's below the 1st post where alls the addons are listed.

Hey guys I have a s-off IS rooted and cwm I am running 2.2.1 I want to flash a custom Rom I noticed that most of the new ones look like 2.3 roms. Do I need to flash stock gingerbread first? Or can I go ahead and flash these roms? Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
No, it's enough to flash the new custom rom. But always read the installation instructions of the rom you want to install ;)
[HTC Incredible S] offwiththeface:
Ok so just making sure from 2.2 I can flash a 2.3 Rom? Sorry I just being cautious I'm coming from a Samsung captivate and couldnt do that. BTW this phone is pretty sweet as is can't wait to flash it
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Yes you can as flashing a full custom rom includes grading you up to gingerbread.

But you will need a newer radio, use the one that is recommended for the rom you are about to install!

Just carefully read the installation instructions ;)
[HTC Incredible S] offwiththeface:
Awesome thanks
[HTC Incredible S] offwiththeface:
Hey guys one more while question do I have to flash a radio everytime? Or do some roms come with a radio in the Rom? Also is a kernal and radio the same ?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
No, a kernel and radio are different. Most of the custom ROMs will advise which radio to use, but they don't usually contain one. You don't necessarily have to flash a radio every time you flash a new ROM. Once you have flashed a Gingerbread radio for example, that same radio should work with any of the custom GB ROMs.
[HTC Incredible S] ajeya:
I have a S-OFF RL Incredible s done using xtc clip.I flashed a custom rom ( Android revolution hd) ..then i tried flashing the radio using the commands ...but it failed. Is it because i dont have ENG S-OFF ? if yes then how can i do that? :(
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Yes, exactly!

You need first to flash an eng hboot!

Here is a tutorial on how to do that:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1070348
[HTC Incredible S] ajeya:
thanks a lot madmaxx82 . will try this guide :) however it says it might brick the fone so just want to ask ...what is the real need of flashing radios? sry for being a noob :(
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Flashing a new "radio" is like updating your device's firmware (telephony services/gsm, et.c.). This directly affects signal stability and often battery drain.

There are also "ril" files which are basically used to communicate with the radio.

It's very recommended that rils and radio match for best performance.

When you flash a new custom rom, it often contains ril files.. so you should flash the radio that is recommended to use for that rom for best performance/stability/battery.

There are other ways of flashing a new radio, but having an eng hboot also allows you to flash other things directly. It can really come in handy.

There's also a different way in flashing an eng hboot. You don't need to use the console.. you can flash it via the bootloader.. will look for the link, I think attn1 posted it somewhere.

Edit: here it is ;)

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

Use the zip file for the eng hboot!
[HTC Incredible S] ajeya:
thank u so much...so i m going to flash that "PG32IMG-vivo-eng-hboot-0.96.zip" file from recovery option and selecting install as zip right?
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
No, not from recovery.

If you have the fastboot binaries, use the commands attn1 posted to flash it, otherwise rename PG32IMG-vivo-eng-hboot-0.96.zip to PG32IMG.zip and place it directly on your sdcard and boot into the bootloader.

It should find the file andd ask you if you want to install it ;)

And don't forget to check md5sums!!
[HTC Incredible S] ajeya:
i did that but after flashing that i restarted my fone the network was there...i deleted that pg32img.zip from the sd card ...restarted my fone again and now that no service is coming :(

then i flashed a new radio and still there is no service ! :(

Plz help ! :(
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Do you have a custom rom installed?
[HTC Incredible S] ajeya:
i m using ARHD
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Did you flash the recommended radio mentioned on first post of the thread?
[HTC Incredible S] ajeya:
yes i did :(
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Hmm.. boot into recovery and reflash the rom (no wipe needed you won't lose your data).

Try that and report back ;)

[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
What phone do you have? Is it a Bell maybe? :D
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Try reflashing the radio, or use a different version.
[HTC Incredible S] ajeya:
reflashing didnt work either :(

which radio shall i try now? :(
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
That's strange..

Try that one for example:

md5: f727a2dae56fd64eeef525ebf64858f7

BTW: How do you flash it?
[HTC Incredible S] ajeya:
using those commands given in that radio file :(

fastboot and all.
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Place the zip file on your sdcard and reboot into bootloader to let it install it for you (just like you flashed the hboot before)

I didn't see that there were radios packed as PG32IMG.zips.
[HTC Incredible S] ajeya:
model id failed in that radio :(
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
I thought you were s-off by xtc clip?

What device do you have? You don't have a "bell" do you?
[HTC Incredible S] ajeya:
what is bell? (plz chat if you can bro ) :(

yeah s-off by xtc clip...the phone was not sim locked.
