[HTC Incredible S] openbook:
Hi Hawkysoft,

I am done with S-OFF.

Can you give me links for creating Gold Card,Best Recovery like CWM or Amon RA and then Permanent Root.

I have done these before on my HTC Desire the phone worked like a charm.

Wish to do the same with my Incredible S.

I love HTC.
[HTC Incredible S] Beerman13:
I am a Bell Incredible S that is now S-Off as well!
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
lucky guys
[HTC Incredible S] muk12:
and Im still stuck on Acquiring root (method 2).... screen :o
[HTC Incredible S] nicotyne:
same here...no luck yet
[HTC Incredible S] axm9:
use this recovery ( you will need it if you plan on using this rom Android Revolution HD 1.0.1)

gingerbreak for rooting (or just flash a rom that is already rooted)

goldcard (but i think if you flash a ruu from htc your phone hboot will be s-on again)
[HTC Incredible S] 08123369698:
i had the same problem too and if i leave it for more then 15 minute they started showing me "srinking state avail from 23 to 0"
[HTC Incredible S] NardVa:
Does this work on froyo? I haven't updated my phone with the OTA Gingerbread update yet.
[HTC Incredible S] zhaominghao:
it says my key is wrong,any key to exit
[HTC Incredible S] skyos:
it worked in both phones first i did with my incredible s 2.2 and then wildfire 2.2

thank all the team that make this possible
[HTC Incredible S] ledang:
same here.... still keep trying...
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
going to try on my netbook which runs windows 7 starter 32-bit
[HTC Incredible S] cooljais:
Thanks to the team. Successfully S-OFFed...

Used in win &, run the program as administrator...

Donated!!!!
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
im going to try it one more time
[HTC Incredible S] muk12:
Im going to try the linux version or using another windows machine later at nite today and if still no luck will wait for the final release :mad:
[HTC Incredible S] ultim:
anyone had success with it using win7 x64?
[HTC Incredible S] muk12:
on Alpharevx Q's and A's thread user Nikhil has advised to uninstall HTC sync and then connect the phone in Charge only mode >> Run AplharevX as admin .

Try that and check if u are able to get S Off on ur device. i cant try as dont have access to a windows machine
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
it doesn't work. all the steps posted doesn't work for some of us.
[HTC Incredible S] cooljais:
I have.

Try running as administrator.
[HTC Incredible S] ultim:
worked for me after my 2nd attempt on windows 7 x64
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
how long did it take you when it actually worked?
[HTC Incredible S] ultim:
within minutes
[HTC Incredible S] Madeli:
failes for me :( everything works fine until i get to fastboot.... then it fails with flashing the hboot :/
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
yeah that could be from 2 minutes to 60
[HTC Incredible S] Madeli:
now it worked!! :D Had wrong hboot drivers ;) Yeah.... i'm s-off!!
[HTC Incredible S] muk12:
I get stuck at aquiring root (method 2) step - I have waited over 30 mins on multiple ocassions NO Joy still S ON

what do u mean by had wrong Hboot drivers and what did you do to fix this?
[HTC Incredible S] Cardiiiii:
There are two HBOOT options to generate the key, 1.09 and 1.13. Make sure you've picked the right one. In order to find this uncheck fastboot and start phone by pressing volume down+power button. You should be able to see your HBOOT version.
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
if you have asian rom the app will fail to s-off.
[HTC Incredible S] Madeli:
try to disable any antivirus protection.... to get hboot drivers installed you need to start up your mobile volume down + power.... then put the usb connection in and see if it works. If it doesnt you need to update your hboot drivers...i used unrevoked's drivers: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/lib/e...unrevoked.com/recovery/android-usb-driver.zip

worked for me :)
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
do you have asian rom?
[HTC Incredible S] muk12:
Im gng to try the Hboot drivers installation method . and there are many who have got S OFF on the asian ROM Sucessfully using AplhaRev X :P
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
well it's worth a try

i downloaded the file aswell, but how do you install that driver?
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
i could not use the driver in the link, wasn't made for 64-bit
[HTC Incredible S] Madeli:
well.... i have 64-bit too and it worked...
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
how did you install it? did the s-off work?
[HTC Incredible S] Madeli:
i made windows search for drivers in the unzipped driver folder... (Android USB Driver).. i got a warning but installed anyway.

Then i started the phone, disabled my antivirus and started all over with alpharevx and voila.... s-off! ;)
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
this is when you had connected the phone in bootloader right?

you went to device manager? i tried that and pointed windows to the directory but it says that it can't use the file since it wasn't made for 64 bit.

do you have 64-bit windows?
[HTC Incredible S] Madeli:
strange!! yes, i have win7 64-bit...
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
hmm thanks for the reply, i tried to just say to windows to automatically find the driver. it said it is already installed.

and i think we had different problems, you had no problems at the earlier part of alpharevx, while i have the issue as once by being stuck in the acquiring root screen,.
[HTC Incredible S] nicotyne:
we had the same problem..updated the driver in hboot usb,reboot and aplharevx still stuck at acquiring root...now searching for empty msd card to make goldcard and change to eu rom
[HTC Incredible S] muk12:
I have the same problem- AlpharevX being stuck at aquiring root screen on windows 7 64.I m gng to try the linux version now -Do i need have the android SDK install on ubuntu to be able use alpharev X ??then EU ROM and if still no go -Trash the phone :P
[HTC Incredible S] gohlh88:
when i type the beta key , keep say invalid key . but i have typed correctly , tried more than 10times . any way to solve this problem ?
[HTC Incredible S] nicotyne:
CaSe SenSiTiVe
[HTC Incredible S] K!lly:
Worked fine here but on the 2nd try, Win7 x64

At 1st try, I had an error when I had the fastboot. I uninstalled all HTC software and drivers, rebooted computer and phone. DL HTC Sync on HTC's website and installed it again like brand new. And it worked like a charm :)

Hope that will work for you...
[HTC Incredible S] prinzhernan:
If I flash a RUU will it remove S-Off? Because I had a Desire Z before and there was a perma and temp S-Off.
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
Prinz, yes

For people who keep gettin stuck go flash a wwe ruu or the virgin one
[HTC Incredible S] :
Awesome, worked a treat. thanks guys
[HTC Incredible S] Pacjonek:
Thank you!! It works!!! I will dotation.

Does this method has the right to act with the Sensation (or may in the future)?
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
i'm just gonna wait for the final release to use on my phone or an easier way to flash the official RUU. i remember restoring the Optimus 2X was easy
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
wouldnt mather since sensation has not even a possible way to temproot yet so far
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
was able to flash an WWE RUU, first attempt at alpharevx failed. gona try it again
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
FINALLY!!!! i'm S-0FF!!!!!! great!!!!
[HTC Incredible S] sanchez013:
How did you solve the problem with error 131? And which rom did you flash (do you have a link?)
[HTC Incredible S] NardVa:
Couldn't get AlphaRevX program to see my phone. I updated my computer with the hboot drivers from the link and bingo I got s-off right away. I have an Asia Rom running froyo.
[HTC Incredible S] John Anderton:
I installed the hboot drivers off my phone by going to hboot and selecting an option there.. I presume that is the same driver as the one you guys talk about

Update:

<JAnderton> does alpharevx need hboot usb drivers too?

<@IEF> no

<@IEF> fastboot/adb

<@IEF> eg, htc sync's drivers, without the htc sync.
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
i used the WWE RUU, it was posted a few threads above me.

i just recreated the goldcard, i think i might have done something wrong the first time.
[HTC Incredible S] muk12:
Back to my PC now :)

@baste07 Did you get S OFF?
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
yup got s-off

how do i know if i also have radio s-off?
[HTC Incredible S] muk12:
thats awesome Did you get success with the Goldcard Optus RUU rom method?
[HTC Incredible S] x1123:
I have the same problem in 5 times attemps

1.13 HBoot

WWE RUU

WIN XP Pro x86

2.3.3 GB

usb debug ON

airplane mode on

charging only on

accepted beta key

:p
[HTC Incredible S] John Anderton:
From what I hear, you have radio off only if you used xclip. alpharevx only soffs your hboot :)

Try a different RUU rom? The Optus one worked for me :)
[HTC Incredible S] NardVa:
Now that I have S-off, clockworkmod, and root on my Incredible S what is the best way to get to Gingerbread and stay rooted? I have a Froyo Incredible S. Do I update to Gingerbread with the OTA and run the superuser root in clockworkmod recovery?
[HTC Incredible S] Nawake:
Well, I'm sad. It's not working for me :(

Stuck on : "Acquiring root (Method2)" :(

IS 2.3.3 HD1.3.0.0 - Win7 64.

i tried "Charge Only" but RevX doesn't find my IS :( (only work on HTC Sync Mode)

Same w/ "Run as Admin" on RevX

:'(

Sometime, RevX crash my IS, but most of the time nothing happen.

And sometime I get : "Shrinking something 23 to 0" on loop :o

I guess, I will wait the Final Rlz ^^

i was seriously doubting of even replying to this but fine...

- go to http://alpharev.nl/x/beta/

- click 'Download for Windows' since im 100% you are atleast a windows user..

- do what it says... and copy the key from your dos prompt in there..

- if the scripted windows aint popping out, you got your scripting disabled, you need to turn it on

[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
i was thinking of the same thing, i remember a user having prob with his signal because of that
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
You must install a recovery yourself ...

The best is madmaxx88's 4ext recovery ... install that and you are good to go :)

Btw the recovery is available in its thread in the dev section :)
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
100% agreed with knightrocker, madmaxx did some freakin awesome job on it
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
Yeah piece of cake to the users
[HTC Incredible S] wiggey1337:
sooooo i get the feeling i'm missing something really obvious here.

usb drivers were uninstalled and re-installed.

I'm running 2.3.3 stock.

i run alpharev, it recognises the phone, accepts the beta key. then sits on acquiring root, seemingly forever, or until i unplug the phone after half an hour. becoming rather tedious now.

tried numerous times, restarting the pc, then restarting the phone, then both.

hoping somebody is going to make me look like a complete fool and tell me something really obvious that i've missed.

anybody?
[HTC Incredible S] romskii:
Yes! I'm going to try this tomorrow. I'm waiting so long for such news. Report is going to come tomorrow

Just read before you posted :(

Did that help?
[HTC Incredible S] John Anderton:
This detailed post might help :)

Are you sure your Phone model (I know that sounds stupid :P), HBoot version, Serial number and Windows/Linux option are correct? It is case sensitive btw. You really should copy the key from the web page, right click on the command prompt and paste it :)
[HTC Incredible S] LeanNSupreme:
Copy and paste technique worked! Thanks :D (So stupid of me LOL ><)
[HTC Incredible S] Flashben:
still stuck at the "Acquiring root <method 2>....." screen...

Here are the things I have done so far:

1) Phone in Charging Mode and USB debugging mode - Done

2) Install HBoot driver - Done

3) Run alpharevx.exe as admin - Done

Some questions....

1) Does this alpharevx program download the su without downloading anything before hand into the sdcard?

2) Do i need to have a clockmod rom or img files in my sd card 1st before doing all this?

3) What is goldencard?
[HTC Incredible S] x1123:
Did you get S-OFF your phone things all DONE ... congrat. AlpharevX as written on the top when application run . S-OFF Tools. she will DE-SIGNED Hboot-loader to enable user have possibility to get write access to phone internal disk.

Please have fun browse this forum what should do after alpharevxing, rooting, flashing clockmod. You did not need GOLD CARD after s-offing (CMIIW)

I'm stuck still but will give try again tonite ...
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
A 'goldcard' is a special microSD card that you can create so that you can flash ROMs from other carriers on to a 'branded' phone (a phone with a carrier logo). In some cases IS users had to use this method to flash a ROM that AlphaRevX could work with.

No, the AlphaRevX software does not actually 'root' or install 'su.exe' on the phone. It also does not install ClockworkMod. Those are steps you need to do after you have gained S-OFF using AlphaRevX.

Here is a thread that outlines steps you can take after running AlphaRevX:

If u r using asian/Indian rom then u cannot s-off. Use a goldcard technique nd install ruu WWE rom.. u will find them in other post.. if still its not helping u then extract alpha tool to the desktop(both the files) nd then run alpha. Exe as administrator..
[HTC Incredible S] Flashben:
I am from Singapore so i think mine is asia rom. Thx for the info, will try the goldcard technique.
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
for certain asian roms (special the indian) the only way to go is flash another RUU via goldcard method.
[HTC Incredible S] tzuyang:
rooted (took 2-3 tries) win7 64bit. Gingerbreak + super user. now ad free at last
[HTC Incredible S] sanchez013:
Alpharevx was impossible while I was on Asian rom.

I had problems creating a goldcard also (two sd cards didn't work) but finally I managed to flash a new ROM and then I got S-off in 20 seconds thanks to Alpharevx.

to disable auto update, I need to find google maps in my apps section in market, it shows in my apps, but when I click on maps to show detail, it can't be found.

so I download market enabler, switch to (au) telstra, go back to market, my apps, maps, and now I can disable auto-update.

waste of my bandwith for just a small changes in maps, really hate that.
