The problem is not that it didn't flash..

It flashed, just talking on irc.. it just didn't solve the problem ..
[HTC Incredible S] ajeya:
i went outside and got some signals...so that means signal catching capacity of my fone is reduced a lot! zero signals inside the room!:(

EDIT :

It works ! after flashing that custom rom (@madmaxx) i ran a super wipe...installed ARHD...signals weren't there...then i did eng s-off (same method) ...then flashed that radio which was there for this rom...and now its normal ! :D
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
weird.. his IS is a bell?
[HTC Incredible S] ajeya:
its me only and i have posted the result also above your post...its not bell if you are talking about the network provider :)

SUPER UPDATE:

i flashed something else today and the signals were gone again ! after hours and hours of research when i finally gave up and kept my phone on the bed i placed its back cover and suddenly the signals were there! So the BACK cover was the only reason behind this ! phew!

Can you tell me a bit more about what is Special about the Bell IncS? I just put my phone into S-OFF and rooted it with Revolution. I would like to flash ADHD on it but would just like to know what it is I need to do. I have heard talk about having 4ext. Do I need this before flashing a new rom or can I do it from the CWM Recovery?

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
No ADHD requires that you flash EXT4 recovery in order to flash it.

[HTC Incredible S] joaonds:
Please have any solution for my problem?

I tried S-OFF, using the Revolutionary.exe, but it only supports up to 1.13 HBOOT and mine is 1.16.

I don't know do with xploit, my problem has a solution?

I'm trying to do on my HTC root only to calibrate the battery.

Please, somebody help me ?

I can not answer in the official thread of the S-OFF because I am new member yet.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
There is no solution for HBOOT 1.16 yet, however one of the Revolutionary developers has been on this forum recently specifically looking for a OTA or RUu that contains HBOOT 1.16, so hopefully a solution is in the works.
[HTC Incredible S] joaonds:
Thanks.

I hope this update to come soon, because my battery don't load...i need root to calibrate. (Or not ?)

How easy is it to root a phone, I've got the Incredible S, it's locked into Virgin Mobile Canada, and I need it rooted so that I can bring it over to Wind Mobile?
[HTC Incredible S] Anoubis282:
Hi,

My device i bought yesterday was from factory s-off.I want to ask if i can just only install ClockworkMod recovery (and how to) and then the rot files from zip, just to be a super user, without losing my stock gingerbread stock rom.ZCan this be happen?if i install cwm recover i will loose my official hboot rom?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Rooting the phone is one thing. SIM Unlocking the phone to use on another mobile carrier is another. You need to search this forum for the answers you are looking for.

Rooting is going to depend on which HBOOT version your VM IncS has.

---------- Post added at 07:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------

Yes since you are S-OFF you can install ClockworkMod and then root. Once you install ClockworkMod, make a 'nandroid' backup to preserve your current stock ROM configuration. Search this forum, especially the sticky posts to find the answers you are asking about.
[HTC Incredible S] jack711:

Hello guys,

Can someone help me to root my IS?

I got my IS S-OFF, but when I start SuperOneClick it crashes and because of that I cant root my IS. I tried patched SuperOneClick, but it also crashed.

Can someone give any solution for this mater?

Android version 2.3.3

Sence version 2.1
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Are you S-oFF via alpharev or XTC clip?
[HTC Incredible S] domasw:
Via alpharev
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Ok,

download this zip and put it directly (into the root) of your sdcard: PG32IMG.zip

It contains 4ext recovery.

Then boot into bootloader. It will find the PG32IMG.zip and ask you if you want to install that. Say yes there.

After it flashed you can access recovery from the bootloader menu.

When you are inside recovery you can backup your current rom if you like to do that and flash any custom rom of your choice (which is rooted of course)

If you want to just root your original firmware, you can do that too by flashing this zip file containing superuser via recovery:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16830010&postcount=5

Edit: After the PG32IMG.zip was flashed, delete it or rename it! Otherwise the bootloader will always trigger the installation when you enter it.

Good luck ;)
[HTC Incredible S] trycks:
just root?

hi im i have an incredible s and i want to just root it only, so if i want to just root it all i have to do is download rom manager and install recovery after that i will flash the PG32IMG.zip into the recovery?
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Hi!

No, the PG32IMG contains the recovery.You cannot use rom manager to flash the recocvery when you don't have root.

Please read the posts again. You need to put that PG32IMG.zip onto your sdcard, boot into bootloader, let it flash and then you can boot into recovery to flash the zip file linked above with Superuser (this is NOT the PG32IMG).

i like to upgrade froyo 2.2 to Gingerbread on Droid Incredible.

Is this instruction going to work on Droid Inc. as well?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
No, the HTC Incredible S is comparable to the Droid Incredible 2, not the Droid Incredible. Beside most of the links that contain files are specific to the IncS and probably wouldn't work on the DInc2 either.
[HTC Incredible S] Splash01:

tweaks

hello everybody!

i have revolution 2.2. and today I installed tweaks from this post. Ofcourse, I didn't make any backup... But than I found these tweaks are useless (mb just for me). So, there's question: how i can remove them? :D (without reinstalling rom).

thanks in advance!

---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------

okay, i did it by myself (and i'm very proud! :))

take original .zip with revolution 2.2, pulled out of it necessary .apks (HTCCamera, Rosie, Settings, SystemUI) and replaced "tweaked" apks in tweakpack.zip. removed tweaks.apk from tweakpack.zip. uninstalled tweaks.apk using SystemApp Remover. and than installed "new" tweakpack.zip again. :D everything is fine now. (and added ultrasmoothrosie again, ofcourse)

Great guide! Been rooted for a very long time already, but wanted to thank you anyways for starting this guide!
[HTC Incredible S] TommyToolbox:
Thanks from a noob

I followed the entire thread of your assistance to to this fellow and learned a lot! I was a Navy Aviation Electronics Tech when it was all tube theory. No matter 'cause best thing I learned was logical troubleshooting. My point is, thanks for putting this out where I could learn from it!
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
hahaha ;)

you are right :)

BTW for linux users:

just open a terminal in the backup folder and do "md5sum * > nandroid.md5"

that should also do it.
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
worked, just restored a backup.

Thank you Nvidia32! When I started to look for how that md5 with nandroid works, you already posted the solution ;)
[HTC Incredible S] doublecheese:
OK I CONFIRM , MY INC S IS NOW ROOTED !!!!!

After following the steps madmaxx82 mentioned, I have succesfully (finally) rooted my INC S .

Thank you XTC CLIP and madmaxx82

Now I can use applications such as > Titanium Backup, MarketEnabler, Shoot Me etc.

The Superuser.apk is sometimes creating problems such as FORCE CLOSING when started , but now it seems to work OK ........

@madmaxx82 , after rooting I understand you made an OTA , did you looseyour root or S-OFF after the OTA ?

Also i there a WWE rom around ? I want to get rid of my Chinese/Vietnamese/Thai/Pakistani/Singapore (English) rom and flash an European rom ...
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Hi please see the first post. I just updated it because of SuperUser crashing with a solution by rmk40.

No, I got the OTA just after I did the S-OFF and BEFORE I rooted the IS.

And you WOULD lose root. Also as timbo007 pointed out, an OTA wouldn't work if you have installed the custom recovery!

You'd have to install an original recovery before installing the update, or downgrade to a previous version first.

I just tried timbo007's method for downgrading to a previous firmware (just to see if it would be helpful for any future update to get back an original recovery), worked like a charm..

after I downgraded I immediately got my OTA again, repeated the steps to root, used Titanium and everything was fine.

Edit: sorry, there's no need to downgrade if you manage to get the rom.zip out of the update you would be getting.

Just put rom.zip onto your sdcard and name it PG32IMG.zip, boot into the bootloader and it will install the update.
[HTC Incredible S] doublecheese:
@madmaxx82

You said "After using SuperOneClick, download the zip file rmk40 has posted, put it onto the sdcard, boot into recovery and flash it!!"

To put the Inc S into recovery , I think I need the Rom Manager right, when I install the Rom Manager and goto FLASH COLCKWORKMOD RECOVERY , I don`t see the model Incredible S :(

Then what ? is there another recovery mode ?
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Rom Manager right now has no recovery image for the IS. You need to install one of the recovery options I mentioned.. did you do that? Or did you only use SuperOneClick?

After you installed custom recovery, just boot into the recovery by entering the boot loader as usual and select recovery.. then install zip from sd card, select the file and you're done
[HTC Incredible S] doublecheese:
I only used the SuperOneClick ........

So now as far I understand both other recovery options have some small problems and Rom Manager does not support IS as of yet.

I think I can wait since I am not too much in a hurry, but If I have to flash a rom or something then I will use one of the methods you mentioned

Thanx
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Just try and download the SuperOneClick.zip I attached to the post. In this zip I have swapped the files with the patched ones..

Just rerun that SuperOneClick and before uninstall SuperUser
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
everyone has his own way to do it ;)

but new recovery is on the way, i spoke to koush (maker of clockworkmods and gave him everything he needed to make it fully compatible with the IS) we can suspect it by the end of the week since hes a lil bit busy
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
I tried porting myself and the kernel came out a ridiculous 1.8GB so it would flash, hopefully koush will spot what's wrong
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
lol, sounds nice tho prophet

btw why arent u on irc anymore?
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
That's great news!!
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
I was on Friday Evening, it's only Monday afternoon...?

Anyway, I think I have fixed the problem, I have attached the zip if anyone wants to try it. I can't test it myself as I am not S-OFF, but I think nandroid & restart should work. As always, I'm not responsible for earthquakes, the stock market, or if your phone does something nasty
[HTC Incredible S] doublecheese:
I am sorry but I think I missed the subject here, what is it that you just attached ?

The reason for the missing the subject is being that currently, I am on top of a cargo vessel making sure the steel tubes I sold to Spain is loaded by workers in perfectly dry and in good shape for my clients in Spain. A man`s got to earn a living to afford these new HTC phones :))
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
It's ClockworkMod, as the two versions floating about still have issues
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
testing it atm

so far:

-boot works ;)

-recovery doesnt start, sorry bro...

@doublecheese, dont ever post your pics on the dev sections mate... this is pritty annoying cuz it lags the browsers, and even the phones wont like it at all

so next time just link it mate
[HTC Incredible S] Nvidia32:
ok here we go for the test...

Installation, classic, no problem.

By cons, starting in recovery impossible, manual method, QuickBoot and RomManager.... There is a problem ...
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
Damnit.. OK I'll take another look. So hard to be able to do without being able to test...
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
prophet here u go bro:

mount

cat /proc/emmc

ls dev block

stock boot

stock recovery

all info and files u need bro
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
Thanks, but I get can get all the fiels + info as you can read off the partitions, ~I just can't test any changes I would have to reupload everytime I wanna make a little tweak. I think the problem is still the kernel, not sure why the original is so big...
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
i know you can bro, but this save some time, since i uploaded all yesterday

Here you go: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=571680&d=1303126223
[HTC Incredible S] doublecheese:
:)

I can confirm that the new version you just uploaded works like charm, my 'superuser.apk' has been updated to v9.9.9 and there is no more Force Close errors on the superuser.

Now I got to go back to my vessel :)
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Great ;) all credits to rmk40!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=886999

But remember: he increased the version number to an extremely high 9.9.9 just to prevent the market from updating SuperUser to the official version again.

His changes are upstream, but ChainsDD has not yet released another version with his commits built-in.

So after some time, when there's a new SuperUser by ChainsDD available that does work and has rmk40's commits, you should uninstall this version and get the official one from the market (since it won't upgrade automatically because it's version number's so high)
[HTC Incredible S] doublecheese:
Yes I get this , but I realised something , mk40 mentioned this to ChainsDD in last december (4-5 months ago) and mk40 said that ChainsDD would implement this to his next release, but since then ChainsDD did not take any action yet , so I believe this wait can be a long time too, just FYI , so maybe it`s betterto get a confirmation from ChainsDD about when..

Also I rooted my DHD a long time ago as far as I remember and just checked my version on of the superuser.apk on my DHD and I see that that one is also v9.9.9 , so mk40`s method has been out for a long time already and has not been updated by chainsDD himself I guss.

Since this is also OK now, I only wait for Rom Manager`s update for the IS . I decided to wait for his update rather than using the other recoveries, if he won`t do it, then I might have to try the other 2 possible recovery methods.
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
Just a quick clarification: ChainsDD did accept the changes to his source, but that was on the 24th December 2010. It is possible there are some incompatibilities with the new version and older version, so he may be trying to figure out how to fix those before releasing an update. His is supposed to be working on version 3.0, which has premium features.
[HTC Incredible S] doublecheese:
Okay, thanks for the clarification.

We wait , what else can we do anyway :) , if he has a premium version i am willing to pay for it too.

I hope it will work with HTC Sensation and HTC Evo 3D as these will be my next phones...
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
the latest version works perfectly when u have s-off....

if it doesnt u forgot something ;)

i firstly did everything manually, but after a major crash i had to reinstall an original rom

this time i tried llnhhy's method and works perfectly also with new su....

the recovery aint working tho.... but maybe this weekend i got good news for u all ;)
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
Hopefully Koush will port the recovery, not only does he know it inside out but he will also integrate it with ROM manager
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
thats the main reason why i asked him, to have it officialy in the rommanager :)
[HTC Incredible S] doublecheese:
are u talking about the Rom Manager or the Superuser.apk, kind of confused here
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
is my english that bad that u cant understand it?

latest su version works on the method ive mentioned....

rommanager will maybe be done this weekend... (atleast according to koush's words the recovery will be, so wont be long untill he implemented into the rommanager i think)

im sorry mate if its confusing for you but i dont know how to say it elseway....
[HTC Incredible S] doublecheese:
Told you guys, this week i have alot of shipments into Europe so I am trying to follow the thread thru my IS as well as making sure workers load my steel tubes correctly and dry without getting them wet when it rains.

I understand everything. Here is a summary for all.

*If you do llyhhn's method the latest su works on IS

*If we do superoneclick method, the su sometimes force closes.

*to overcome this force close on su on IS, one must just install the version madmaxx82 uploaded thanks to mk40

*everybody is waiting for Koush's new version of Rom Manager that adds recovery to IS

*however for those who doesn't want to wait for the version update of Rom Manager, thete are 2 more recovery methods.
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
but neither one of the current recoverys work completely ;-p

yes now u are up to date xD
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
updated thanks to Koush and Hawkysoft for making it possible for Koush to release ClockWorkMod Recovery for the IS http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1046759
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
@madmaxx82, to gain root on 2.3.3 you need to flash the file from llnhhy, since one click roor aka psneuter and/org raoc wont work on gb ;)

or you do it manually thats also possible

p.s. dont flash his adb root file, that will fk up ur device which makes u have to reinstall the ruu rom
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:

Thank you everyone for the great work on rooting S-Offed devices!

The first post mentions though that a partitioned microSD card will probably brick the device. Is this still the currents status? Does this apply to the rooting process only, or is an Incredible S in danger of being bricked by a partitioned SDcard even after the rooting process is complete?

Thank you,

arichter
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Hi!

This does only apply to ClockWorkmod Recovery. This doesn't have anything to do with rooting...

I don't know if this bug is still present in Clockworkmod Recovery..

Maybe Hawky or someone else knows more ;)
[HTC Incredible S] arichter:
This link appears dead, are there any alternative download locations?

Would be nice to have Gingerbreak including a SuperUser.apk that works with Sense's new SQlite features.

Thank you,
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Hi!

Did you install/update SuperUser from the market?

I removed the link because I found the recent SuperUser was working properly.

If you did that and still have problems however I'll re add it to the first post.

Thank you!
[HTC Incredible S] arichter:
My SuperUser.apk is at version 2.3.6.1. According to market.android.com/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su this version is the latest in the market. Released in 2010... Therefore I think it doesn't include changes required for it to work with the newer HTC Sense.

I think your version would be really useful!

Thank you,
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Hmm that's strange.. I had big problems with the unpatched su/SuperUser when I was on Froyo, but since I'm on Gingerbread they were gone. Maybe it's Gingerbread, maybe it's because I uninstalled most of sense, but that would be unlikely since rmk40 posted that it's a problem with sqlite access on newer sense roms..

And you are running Gingerbread too are you?

Here's a link to his thread where you can download a flashable zip with his patched su and SuperUser.apk. You can of course just copy the files or incorporate that into your SuperOneClick or Gingerbreak.

[HTC Incredible S] arichter:
Downloaded it, and tried the SuperOneClick with the files replaced by the patched ones. Can confirm that this one works.

Phone was S-Offed using XTC Clip

Made sure I was running Gingerbread (Settings-> phone info -> software information, field "android version" =2.3.3)

Installed the latest Android SDK (not sure if this is necessary, but this may provide drivers for your phone)

Got busybox (3.4.6, author Stephen (Stericson)) from android market.

Unpacked the SuperOneClick Zip uploaded by madmaxx82 on my computer

Ran SuperOneClick in the unpacked folder, selected "gingerbreak" as the rooting method, clicked "Root", waited for the reboot of the phone

After reboot, ran the busybox installer which came with the busybox app from the android market

Tested the result by installing and running AdFree from the market.

Great post - just what i was looking for, since this is my first Android phone.

In the guide you have the topic: "If you already installed a custom recovery".

But what if i just has got S-OFF and rooted my phone and havn't installed a custom recovery befor?
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Thank you ;)

You mean in the section "Solution for SuperUser crashing"?

That's just different ways of solving the Superuser "bug" and only applies to *after* you followed the steps to root your phone (and optionally install a custom recovery)
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Oh sorry didn't read well enough ;)

Then you would follow "Alternative", maybe not clear enough, I'll update the guide, thank you!
