I'm looking for the RUU to this software version (which has HBOOT 1.16 included).

The OTA update URL is also fine.. someone grab it for me?
[HTC Incredible S] IncredibleMat:
Got an unlock from HTC !!

There is no downgrade from Hboot 1.16 right now. Read what tpblake wrote in response 4/5 posts up. He's spot on & explained it in simple terms.

However news flash!!! Just today i found this, and so far its working. HTC Emailed me the unlock, i've applied using the SDK / fastboot & am mid factory restore right now !!!

No result. After flashing with HTC's supposed unlocker i still have S-On, im not rooted, still have hboot 1.16. Now trying to work out after the full wipe it automatically did what exactly i get from it....

any luck here bro? im also having the problem to s-off. i have hboot 1.16 too T.T
[HTC Incredible S] joaonds:
My HTC have Hboot 1.16 too.

And i wait for revolutionary the solution.
[HTC Incredible S] malcolm90:
SO I find the solution.

I also have Hboot 1.16.0000 now I have 1.13.0000

First of all you need to create a goldcard

So after you created goldcard and flash it on the memorycard, you will need to download

RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1

and flash it by your PC.

After that you will have hboot 1.13.0000...

So good luck.

I have everything working))
[HTC Incredible S] Lynt:
I'm in the same boat gents. I think there's going to be a few of us now that Optus are selling these outright for $299!

Gutted I can't yet root it and flash something nicer. Donation coming your way, Revolution lads, if you can sort it out!

Cheers.

[HTC Incredible S] corey unknown:
@Malcolm90 I have also read about goldcard success with that version .. can't find orig link .. flash by pc ? Further details or link please ... Can't leave so many people hanging :)

Thanks in advance
[HTC Incredible S] katu2006:
Can somebody give us more info on the Goldcard process? Maybe a set of instructions? Or a link to a proper detailed process?

I know there is huge risk in bricking the phone during the downgrade process...Also, you'll cause more problems if you downgrade the Rom as well, as you won't have the latest bugfixes from HTC (sms/calls delayed).
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Here is a goldcard solution that is even easier to use if you are familiar with using adb commands:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18748766&postcount=6

Also once you have the goldcard, this post has a series of adb commands for the DInc2 that uses a temproot exploit that the Revolutionary/Unrevoked teams have released that is used to reset the main_version so that you can flash a previous RUU and downgrade the HBOOT.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1298990

Since the DInc2 only has a single carrier, the instructions are pretty specific as far as the main_version and RUU that was used to downgrade, but I am convinced that this procedure could be used on the IncS. For the S710e model, I think that the 2.12.405.x RUU would be a good one to use to try and downgrade with. I haven't been able to verify this since I have a XTC clipped IncS, but for some of the more adventuresome or advanced users it may be worth a shot.
[HTC Incredible S] Lynt:
Thanks heaps for the info, tpbklake. I think I'm gonna wait til Revolutionary gets updated though; seems a bit less risky. I'd be gutted if I bricked my IncS!

Cheers though.
[HTC Incredible S] corey unknown:
Has anyone else tried this method ? Didn't think Ruu downgrade would also change boot ?

[HTC Incredible S] MoCommodore:
Dear Friends,

I had 1.16 HBoot and S-ON. I solved the problem with these steps:

Copying virtuous_unity-v2.39.0.zip to SD Card

Unlocking the deviced via HTCDev

Flashing recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivo.img

Flashing boot.img, which I extracted from "virtuous_unity-v2.39.0.zip\kernel\incs" folder

Installing the Virtuous Unity ROM zip file

Now, everything is OK ;)

P.S. : Every time I restart my phone, the phone hangs in the HTC Logo screen. I think the HBoot 1.16 recover itself in some ways and prevent the OS to come up :-( I'm gonna recover my stock ROM!

No need to goldcard it; use the other method. You'll still have S-ON, but the device will be rooted.

hey guys i'm new to this forum and I'm not very familiar with the terms flashing etc.

can anyone please post a step by step for a newb like to me be able to get root access? I'm at hboot 1.16, and it seems like it's possible to get root access. I just have no idea what you guys are talking about lol! :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
I'd explain but I know nothing about your h-boot. Generally the process is use revolutionary to gain s-off and at the end of that process you install cwm recovery. Think of s-off as removing the security features from your phone allowing you to alter anything on your phone from the operating system to system files. The program revolutionary will attain root access and from there on out you normally would be able to alter your phone as you please. Think of root access as logging in as "administrator" in windows, you can now delete win32. It's called root access because you are allowing programs to alter files in the systems root folder. However your phone is of a different h-boot and you can never attain permanent root access with a stock Rom at your current h-boot.

You need someone willing to invest some time with you.... Or your going to have to do a lot of reading. Start by reading every how-to sticky in this thread, after your understanding of that process your going to have to read on how to attain that same process modified for your h-boot.

Maybe someone who has been through this process should make a guide for the new h-boot as every new phone from September on has had this issue. Just sayin there are a lot of h-boot threads.
[HTC Incredible S] tangcla:
Go to http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ and unlock your bootloader that way; then you can install a recovery image.
[HTC Incredible S] Lynt:
I'll whip one up.
[HTC Incredible S] jumban:
oh okay thanks a lot! =) but actually, i was just hoping to get root access in order to use some market apps, and i don't intend to flash custom ROMs. hmm.. so after i unlock the bootloader, i have to flash a rooted ROM in order to get a rooted phone?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
No, once you unlock HBOOT 1.16, you flash a custom recovery image file using FASTBOOT and then you can flash the su-3.0.zip and install the superuser app. This will then root your current ROM. You don't necessarily have to flash a custom rooted ROM.

First thread so please be gentle!

I purchased off fleebay a SGS2 (t mobile) to update my old desire z.

I flashed XWKDD_insecure.tar and rooted via one of the instruction sites then I installed the SGS2 sim unlock app and managed to work it so I could unlock it to use my Vodafone sim card.

I have also installed Villainrom to the latest, info is:

Baseband Version

I9100XXKF2

Kernal Version

2.6.35.11-ninphetamine-2.0.4+ninpo@titan #13

Build Number

VillainROM 2.4.2

By typing *#1234# I get:

PDA : I9100XXKG6

PHONE : I9100XXKF2

CSC : I9100XAKG6

Can any of you let me know whether what I have on there is correct? I have test the root and busybox(whatever this is) and both verify correct with root checker.

I know it sounds daft, but after 3/4 complete charge cycles I am losing 15% still of battery over night and don't know whether it is because I haven't installed something right. By the end of the day with moderate usage it is down to about 20% 8am-5pm.

Any apps like facebook, ebay, weather etc I have set to sync minimally, also backround is dark, no moving wall papers etc, basically anything that is in the top tips on battery drain I've tried removing.

Any help guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated! I've read up and googled quite a bit but still finding it difficult to grasp the principles.

Many thanks

Ben

Seems fine to me although you may want to upgrade your kernel to ninphetamine-2.0.5 (there are newer versions but this seems to have the best battery life).

Sounds like rogue apps draining your batt if you havent removed the samsung bloatware i suggest you search this forum theres a guide to what is safe to remove.

Can someone confirm that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airbag888:
I am looking for the same solution for (official) car dock AND desktop dock. All sounds go through line-out except calls which is kind of a stupid oversight by Samsung.

What I'd like is option to have all audio through the 'line-out' of the official docks

Option to have FM work via the same

Option to have the phone operate like a radio alarm when in the desktop dock

1 question though. My phone died on me tonight and when I got back to the car I put it in my dock which made it turn on right away. I got to input my pin, then I saw it was charging but it switched off and restarted and kept on going (off->on for 15secs-> off).. I figured it was because it was running out of battery faster than it was charging it - ridiculous since I wasn't doing anything with the phone. So I had to unplug the car charger cable from the back of the dock, put it in my dead phone for 5mins then replug everything in again.

Samsung needs to look into that seriously...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbrown77:
Not sure about $25 but I'd donate a few dollars if someone can make the voice and radio be passed through the usb line out while using the existing apps.

Who knows how long it will take Samsung to implement a feature which I am surprised doesn't already work.

I have used my phone connected through the headphone output to my car stereo and made phone calls using the car speakers for the voice feedback and the internal phone mic for my voice. And it worked really well with no echoing at all which surprised me. I thought with the added volume through the speakers that feedback issue would occur but it didn't appear so. Maybe the secondary mi helps with the eco cancellation.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrej.marinic:
this problem still persists with XWKI4 stock rom. call audio outputs fine through the headphone jack on the phone itself, but refuses to route through the dock. with all of other audio going fine through usb, i'm inclined to think that it's a bug and can be fixed.

And the problem is also present in XWKI8...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamikaze62:
I'd also be more than happy to donate to any dev prepared to look into getting the call audio rooted through the line out. I've been reading into it a little bit and apparently it is likely to be something that can be changed with a modded kernel. Unfortunately I have no developer experience and wouldn't even know where to start.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] FatMonkey69:
This was the procedure I used to flash my phone. I already had CM6 stable so I used ROM manager and Clock Work Mod to make the install easier.

1) I made several backups then copied the entire contents of my SD card to my computer.

2) Ran ROM manager and updated my version of CWM

3) Booted into recovery mode and did a factory reset/data wipe and cleared the cache.

4) Rebooted the phone to make sure that data had been wiped.

5) Removed my SD card and inserted it into my computer to copy the SD8 zip file onto the card. Just my preference.

6) Booted into CWM recovery mode by holding X and the power button at the same time.

7) Factory reset/wiped data and cache again.

8) Selected the option to install from CD card and selected the zip file I copied to the root of my SD card.

9) After flash was complete I rebooted the phone by selecting the reboot option from recovery mode.

The initial reboot took several minutes. But I was expecting that. Once it rebooted I ran through the initial setup process and allow all applications to load and sync with my account.

The sync took quite a while. After about 20 minutes the application sync just crapped out. No big deal since I really didn't want everything reinstalled again.

I ran a few general tests to make sure all basic phone and hardware functions were working. Making and receiving calls. Sending and receiving text messages. Using the camera. WiFi and bluetooth. No problem with anything.

Tested the Market and also the Amazon Droid Market and everything downloaded and installed without error. Everything I wanted reinstalled without a hitch.

Next I restored my data and installed the GMail and Maps apps. Still all good.

So far I haven't had any of the problems that some people had posted in the developer area for this ROM. No issues with the facebook app or anything force closing. The phone has been stable and quick. I also haven't had any heat or battery life issues. But I have only been using it for the past 16 hours at this point.

All-in-all I'm quite pleased with my results.
