[Droid 2 Global General] Gopher love:
I have looked for hours and for the life of me cannot find a download link for the fission rom. It's the only one out there and not only can I not find the link on xda I can't find it in ****ing google.

Please don't post the topic on your reply cuz I clicked all the links in it. Anyone got the direct download link to fission 2.4.3?
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
Try downloading it via FRM (Fission Rom Manager). The free Lite version should be sufficient. You can get instructions where to download FRM here

I don't use Fission but have FRM (I got the full version since I donated at the time). Just checked my FRM - ROM is listed there available for download. So FRM is the way to go.

Edit: A word of advise: In order to get Fission 2.4.3 working properly on your phone, make sure you are installing it on top of stock 2.4.29. If you install it after you update to 2.4.330 December update, you will have issues. SBF back to original 2.4.29 and then install Fission.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gopher love:
Ok thank you.
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
You're welcome!

BTW - I noticed you labelled it "Fusion". The name is actually "Fission", that would explain why you couldn't Google it.

You know that you can always start over with flashtool right? By reflashing 2.1 over again if this problem. Have you used it before? If need help with that, let me know.

But first this problem has happened before, so try the search on the website. But i will still help yo out or others will jump in.

Im not sure how many of you use the smaller pixel density's in Androidani but I love them!

My question is, is there a way of making the keyboard keys any larger? They pretty much stay the same as the larger pixel density would be. Any suggestions?

I use 'Better Keyboard' right now and really like it, but my thumbs are way to big for the keys from years of mashing Sega Controllers.

Thanks!
[HTC Incredible S] Special Features:
Hey,

Thanks heaps for your post. I'm sure a lot of users are going to find this extremely useful. :)

I have a question...may seem silly but just confirming...

So I can use this method to basically rid my phone of carrier "bloat"? and have the latest stock, clean Gingerbread ROM from HTC on my device?

And still be able to update periodically OTA?

Thanks in advance.

(HTC Incredible S "S-ON"...unfortunately...)
[HTC Incredible S] LIG8$P33D:
Yes . This method will relieve you from using your Carrier specific Rom. You can install any Carrier Rom / Non carrier specific Rom with this method... keeping in mind that the Rom that you are using for flashing is a Stock Rom (Rom provided by HTC - Unadulterated / Unmodified) .

After flashing any Rom of your choice you can get updates OTA . No problems .:)

This method will Debrand (Relieve you off carrier specific Rom) Your phone's Rom :) :)
[HTC Incredible S] Special Features:
Thanks heaps for your reply. :)

One last thing, can I go back to the Carrier ROM? and/or back up my current if I have any dramas?

Thanks again. :):):)
[HTC Incredible S] LIG8$P33D:
Catch

Sorry for the late Reply.... I was out of Town ....

Now here is the catch... If you just remove your "Bloat" and again want to go back to bloat in times of need ..... Be sure to flash your firmware with the same version.... That is ... If you have 2.2.1 bloat then upgrade to 2.2.1 Stock rom Withought Bloat....:cool:

If you upgrade to 2.3.3 From 2.2.1 Then you cant downgrade.... as 2.3.3 uses a higher radio version than 2.2.1 so downgrade is not possible for the Phones with S-ON ...:eek:

Happy flashing with care :):)
[HTC Incredible S] Timbits93:
Great progress!

I'm guessing this process only works for the S710e and NOT the S710a (Bell)?

Thanks for the effort :D
[HTC Incredible S] LIG8$P33D:
Hmmmm...

The system specs are the same for S710e and the S710a... But if the nand locking differs.... which i suppose is not then i think the phone can be flahed with this technique :)

Its not that the nand locking plays a part in this process.... :eek: as this process does not involve Rooting

It is basically a loading technique for a new rom into the system so.... it supposed to work.... on any Incredible S S710E/A with same hardware straints ... :rolleyes:
[HTC Incredible S] Special Features:
No worries at all. :D

Thanks again mate. You've really given me some relief here. I'm hoping removing my carrier bloat will improve battery and stability. :):)

Yeah I'm running 2.3.3....so basically what your saying is, don't go above that with any ROM?

How do I flash my current?

Cheers.
[HTC Incredible S] LIG8$P33D:
Clear confu...

Actually i was saying on the context of your phone having Froyo 2.2.1 ...since you have 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) by default ....then just flash any rom with radio version same or higher than the present radio version of your Rom .....

You might download the rom from the thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033922

:cool::cool:

And flashing technique from :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1003457

:cool::cool:

Abd shell commanding is not required... thats a diffrent process....:eek:

Follow the part of extracting the Rom.zip file from the RRU.exe. And renaming it to PG32IMG.zip .... :cool:

And for starting the Flashing.. just hold the power button and the volume down button ..you will enter bootloader mode... Follow the on screen instructions Then its done !!!:cool::cool:
[HTC Incredible S] Special Features:
Oh ok. Thanks again mate. :) So the base-band has to be the same or higher as well as the firmware version? Sorry if I'm a little slow with this, I'm all over other stuff but have just come into the Android world and even at this stage am loving it...just wish I could root this phone instead...sooo much easier and so much more freedom... haha

And I can download the clean, factory HTC ROM from HTC directly??

Thanks again for your time and patience...:o
[HTC Incredible S] cam975:
HI there,

I'm keen to give this a try to get rid of the Optus stuff. I do have a question, apologies if it is a silly one:

Is doing this going to erase all the apps / Internet bookmarks / messages etc?

Thanks for the thread and advice.
[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:
Flashing a new ROM using an official RUU installer always wipes everything clean in the phone's internal memory. So, yes.
[HTC Incredible S] ltcaugust13:

hello again, my software number is 2.12.707.5 and i cant pass the 2nd method of alpharevX, do i need to use a gold card? thanks : )
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
i had that same ROM, don't waste your time trying alpharevx on that, you'll need a gold card and download an WWE RUU and try it again.
[HTC Incredible S] shaer_nahyar:
yay! thanks baste : ) too bad i dont know what will i do with WWE RUU, im also lost with making a gold card! hopefully i will learn these things :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:
To install an RUU all you need is the file, a PC with HTC Sync installed and a cable to attach it to the phone.

There are lots of tutorials on making a gold card, both on this forum and on the internet in general! It's not really a difficult thing to do as long as you follow the steps exactly.
[HTC Incredible S] shaer_nahyar:
thank you for giving me some input on what to do, is there a high risk of bricking my phone when i s-off my phone,making a gold card and installing custom rom ? thanks in advance : )
[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:
Nope, there's a very low chance of that at any stage. Like I said, just follow the instructions to the letter at every step and you should be fine!
[HTC Incredible S] shaer_nahyar:
thank you very much, you've really boost my confidence,i just need to buy a spare memory card for the gold card and im set to s-off my phone, thanks a lot! :)
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
You can use the SD card you are using everyday
[HTC Incredible S] shaer_nahyar:
aw so i dont need a spare card? i thought i cant use my card anymore when i make it a gold card and by the way will i use the Optus or WWE rom? thanks again : )

It works on my Desire Z-2.33

Device: HTC Desire Z(stock Froyo, OTA Gingerbread)

Without your guide, I would be like a chicken without its head. I have been trying to root which was unsuccessful until I found out that the prerequisites was to downgrade to Froyo first, again, without any success when I ran into your guide, which was crystal clear without any guesswork what to do on how to create a goldcard (I saw other guides which was not as understandable as your guide). However, my first sd card which was sandisk was unsuccessfull(few attemps were proven to be futile), whenever it is reading the stock rom it kept showing CID incorrect error (I used both Fastboot mode and Fre3vo to attempt downgrade); thus, I pull another sd card my 1gb samsung sd card, and voila! it works, the downgrade was smooth. Thanks a bunch.

i have experience on Incredible S

if you have new radio and different CID (maybe htc__038) your goldcard will not work.

one way to install stock rom you need RUU ROM if you have htc__038 you need RUU ROM 2.12.720.5 (this firmware couldn't find on Xda)

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] ajeya:
install the rom update utility and let it extract the files. you need to find rom.zip from the temp folder.

as it is mentioned in that guide :

"start > run > %tmp% > sort by date > see newest folder > dig in deep and find rom.zip"

copy that rom.zip to somewhere else and rename it to PG32IMG.zip

then follow the guide.
[HTC Incredible S] mrigoo:
the install rom utility wants me to connect my phone to the computer... so all i need to do is to connect my phone an run the install file?.the install file will download a rom on my computer as well as create a zip file on my computer ?? ..sorry for bothering you ..new at these stuff..

.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
You have 2 options. If you just run the RUU program and just leave it sit on the first screen, then you will be able to find the ROM.zip file in the %TEMP% directory. You can then copy this file to the SD card in your phone and rename it PG32IMG.zip and then when you boot into HBOOT it will find the file and flash it.

Option 2 is to connect your phone to the PC with the USB cable and let the RUU program run and it will attempt to flash the new ROM.

Thanks a lot . i was able to find the zip file after running the install file and letting it sit.

Hi all. I'm newbie, using HTC Incredible S from India, Still Official OTA for Android 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 is not released yet.

would like update to Android 2.3.5/sense 3.0 official ROM manually (via RUU/Gold Card, Heard about that, but not sure of its purpose).

Could you folks please advice/Guide me detailed steps to update to official ROM and Detailed steps and description for the same.

Please do let me know whether it Voids my warranty.

Replies are appreciated!!
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
There may be an issue if you put your phone in for warranty and HTC finds you have an official rom installed from a different region. But that could be fixed by reflashing an official rom from your region. Of course depending on the reason you need to claim warranty, this may or may not even be possible. If you choose this solution, that's a risk you will have to consider.

If you need detailed steps, you should see the first post. The ruu part involves 2 steps.

Download the ruu that you wish to upgrade to.

Run it.

Hi i am new to all this awsome stuff with what can be done with my android devices, I have recently rooted my samsung galaxy tab 10.1 and have run a number of custom ROMs and found this quite easy to achive even with my very limited knowlodge.

I want to do the same with my Incredible S S710e but reading this thread and others i am becoming more confused, this all seems quite different to want i had to do to the tab, i dont really understand the coding or things like adb shell commands etc.

Please forgive my ignorence i thought i kindda thought it would be straightforward to gain root.

1) is unblocking the same as rooting?

2) is this really a lot more complicated than rooting my tab?

3) can anyone give me a quick run through in laymans terms if that is at all possible?

Any help will be hugly appreciated im really interested in all this but with limited experience, this community here at XDA is brilliant i just need a little schooling.
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
Well, HTC devices have a locked bootloader, which stops you flashing a custom ROM. This lock can be bypassed either with the HTC unlock option, revolutionary's s-off hboot or with an xtc clip. If you're looking for a free method for unlocking your phone, the automated script that I have hacked together is in my somewhat biased opinion, the best option in the long term.

It's a fairly straight forward process and you don't really need to know any adb or fastboot commands. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1373697 simply follow the instructions and if you get stuck, I'm always checking the thread and available for support.
