[HTC Incredible S] venezia64:
I spent some time figuring out how to install these ROMs without executing the .exe RUU files so I though this tutorial could help ;)

This guide only applies to S-OFF devices.

Warning: we will be flashing through the Bootloader so the process is quite risky! You're warned!

I assume you're running Froyo at the beginning of the process. You'll need to download the 2.12.981.2 Aussie firmware here.

1. Temp root your device using the Psneuter exploit. You will find the detailed tutorial here

2. Install the Clockwork recovery from Koush through Rom manager.

WARNING DO NOT PARTITION SDCARD <- THIS WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE, A FIX IS ON THE WAY

3. Extract the "rom.zip" file hidden in the RUU .exe file we downloaded previously. For this step you'll need a windows configuration (a virtual machine also works). Follow this tutorial to extract the file as the file cannot be extracted directly using Winrar, winzip...

4. Extract the content of the rom.zip. In this ROM you should find 12 files as follow:

recovery_signed.img

android-info.txt

splash1.nb0

boot_signed.img

system.img

dzdata.img

tp_VIO_CYP34001.img

hboot_1.13.0000_CRC_8a731c6e_0401.img

tp_atmelc12_20aa.img

radio.img

tp_ektf2k_0044.img

rcdata.img

Update: MD5 checksums

MD5 (boot_signed.img) = b6278bdfbcfe49a2b1473c9cbb587e2a
MD5 (dzdata.img) = 3b88992a2d666d55c97a6ce1f4ac7cc8
MD5 (hboot_1.13.0000_CRC_8a731c6e_0401.img) = c0845e6348123828f918fdb48b74f349
MD5 (radio.img) = 75124594d782de4c56d6eaa162f70710
MD5 (rcdata.img) = 126ee81a155aa2440ae61f2fa12708ad
MD5 (recovery_signed.img) = 0c03865b7fc48c9898677003178d6650
MD5 (splash1.nb0) = ab292cb7559e79e6451311a0a84e57b8
MD5 (system.img) = 2e5ba9f02b41cbebc74472335b62870b
MD5 (tp_VIO_CYP34001.img) = cde8c7355e9d71ddde04653c3ee5a500
MD5 (tp_atmelc12_20aa.img) = 470b08ffcbc397412b4b9f13772e6751
MD5 (tp_ektf2k_0044.img) = 0b9be377e9d0117757c3cf3d8fb20de7

5. We want to keep the Clockwork recovery so the recovery_signed.img is no use. For this ROM to be fully functionnal the new radio from here is compulsary!

The first thing to do is to modify the android-info.txt to match our CID (the CID has to be 8 characters long)

During the S-OFFing process using XTC clip, the cid was changed from HTC__001 to 11111111.

In the end, my .txt file looked like this:

modelid: PG3213000
cidnum: 11111111
hbootpreupdate:13
mainver: 2.12.981.2

Update: you can make the .txt file universal by putting all the available CIDs in it like this:

modelid: PG3213000
cidnum: HTC__622
cidnum: HTC__038
cidnum: HTC__001
cidnum: HTC__044
cidnum: 11111111
hbootpreupdate:13
mainver: 2.12.981.2

I enclosed the .txt file with this post ;)

6. Now, compress:

android-info.txt

boot_signed.img

system.img

radio.img

in the same zip file and rename the .zip file to PG32IMG.zip

Note: the hboot_1.13.0000_CRC_8a731c6e_0401.img file can also be included but be aware that it will overwrite the bootloader. If the flashing process fail on this part you could definitely brick your device. I flashed it but given it is not compulsary for the ROM to work, I leave the decision to you. You're warned.

7. Copy the resulting .zip file in the root of you sd card.

8. Boot into recovery. Format the /data and /cache partitions.

9. Boot into bootloader mode and follow the on-screen instructions.

10. Reboot and here you are with an unrooted Sense 2.1 running GB :) It's not over yet.

11. Install Gingerbreak apk v1.1 (latest version when writing this guide). Remember to either remove the sdcard before or to use a sd card without important data.

Root the device.

Note: you might have a message saying that the process MIGHT have succeeded but that it's not sure. Don't worry. Reboot and "su" and "superuser.apk" should be there :)

12. Install busybox. This app will do the trick for you.

13. If you want more locales, install MoreLocale 2 and choose the one that suit you ;)

14. Last reboot...

DONE!

Update: GALLERY

I know, the Quadrant score is quite low but, trust me, the OS is BUTTER smooth. HTC did an astonishing job at improving the smoothness of their already smooth device :)
