This is the result of HTC implementing their unlock bootloader policy on devices. With this hboot version, you could go to the site HTCDEV.com and unlock the bootloader for development and customization purposes, but you have to acknowledge an agreement that this may void your warranty.
[HTC Incredible S] Yrck:
Thanks for your answer. When my phone is back from warranty i can use the HTCDEV unlocktool, but it is better to make the phone s-off without the tool?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes getting S-OFF is better than using the HTCDEV unlock procedure IMO.

Worked a treat. Thanks

help i am trying everything as in first fot but i cant flash the downgrader img it shows on phone can not roll back hboot version
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
What version of HBOOT do you have on your phone?
[HTC Incredible S] Bodz:
my hBoot is 7.00.1000
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
I don't think that version of the HBOOT can be downgraded or S-On. You need to try and contact the user who posted the link to that HBOOT for any assistance.
[HTC Incredible S] Surajkumar:
Restore from CWM Backup

i've my incS with

Revolutionary s-off

Hboot 6.13.1002

Radio 3885.04.03.27_m

eMMC-boot

I cant find the specific RUU i have asian model.

i have nandroid backup of my stockrom.

What should I do?
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
restore the backup in cwm and then follow from step 1

edit: in the 9th step extract the boot.img from the backup stock rom and flash it through fast boot
[HTC Incredible S] Surajkumar:
Question about 9th step

thanks for the answer so in the 9th step i just have to flash boot.img from cwm backup folder

and edit command like this

fastboot flash boot boot.img instead of

fastboot flash hboot HBOOT.img

is that correct ? Can please explain in detail. I dont know much about programming stuff I'm just 15 years old.
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
lol im 16...!! wat is the version of the stock rom u have? and see the mainver of ur device in adb.. reply me soon.. coz i have exams coming.. i will not be active in the website.. for more details you can contact tpbklake he is expert in this!
[HTC Incredible S] Surajkumar:
stock rom version that means android version then i've gingerbread 2.3.3.

"see the mainver of ur device in adb" how to do that
[HTC Incredible S] ltcaugust13:
Hi

I have been trying the whole night and I'm stuck at step 6.

I am sure I missed out something.

I have ADB fastboot and SDK tools...

But the cmd is just saying waiting for device.

When I use fastboot functions for my other phone. It also says waiting for device.

Wat did I left out?
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
did u enable USB debugging ?
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
" fastboot getvar all "

go to fast boot mode and type the above mainver .. see the version there .. it will be like "2.1+.+++"
[HTC Incredible S] Surajkumar:
OK I'll do that but my incredible s is out for a day I hope you'll be online for two days. thanks

And good luck for exams
[HTC Incredible S] Surajkumar:

[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
hmm so all good now..!!

[HTC Incredible S] Surajkumar:
thanks a lot most of the download links are not working still found one working

gonna donwload now thanks
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
ya dude! I THINK FILESERVE WORKS!
[HTC Incredible S] Surajkumar:
is hboot.img correct

found hboot.img it named as hboot_1.13.0000_CRC_8a731c6e_0401.img

and it is in the framework folder

i just have to flash is that correct? Is there any risk involved like bricking the device or something like that.

If yes how and how can i prevent it
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
C0845E6348123828F918FDB48B74F349 this is the md5checksum of the hboot.img file. If u have the stock rom backup in software version 2.12.720.5 then u r good to go! flash it correctly .. use the adb and fastboot commands properly
[HTC Incredible S] Surajkumar:
thanks

[HTC Incredible S] Enes_81:
I just revert to S-ON on a shorter way.

First I installed ADB & Fastboot command by following this steps

I checked the mainver of my current ROM by using the command "fastboot getvar all" The mainver of my currect ROM was 3.08.405.3,

so I downloaded RUU_VIVO_SENSE30_S_HTC_WWE_3.08.405.3_Radio_20.4802.30.0822U_3822.10.08.28_M_release_227170_signed

I Ran the RUU and when it was de-compressed and asked to press next I went to my temp folder and copied the rom.zip file to c:\Android

Then I connected the phone to my laptop in fastboot usb mode and used the following commands:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip rom.zip

Result:
[HTC Incredible S] Ozgurce:
Is the s-off ing type make an difference? Can I go back s-on whatever method I use the s-off.
[HTC Incredible S] atomiccubez:
nice !! thank guys
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
The procedure outlined in the first step is specifically for S-OFF via AlphaRevX/Revolutionary software method.

Which specific method did you use to get S-OFF?
[HTC Incredible S] Ozgurce:
I didn't use any off them, I'm just thinking about it. I'm thinking htcdev method? I'm still nevbie at this, I don't want to lose my warranty (I just buy the phone :P).. Thats why I'm asking you to Which method I need to s-off for this way to work?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
OK noob, the HTCDEV.com method only unlockes the bootloader and does not give you true S-OFF. It will allow you to install a custom recovery and flash custom ROMS, but the process to unlock sends your serial number to HTC and you have to acknowledge a warning that this could potentially void your warranty.

Using the Revolutionary method will give you true S-OFF and as you have discovered will allow you to get back to S-ON, so this would be the method to use. The only drawback is if you currently have HBOOT versions 1.16.0000 or 2.00.0000, you will have to use the downgrade tool method to get to HBOOT 1.13.0000 before you can run Revolutionary.
[HTC Incredible S] Ozgurce:
Thanks for reply. I have HBOOT 2.00.0000. So as I see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1385084 in this thread I must unlock via htcdev.com for downgrade. If I understand correctly its bad :(

Edit: I found another ways to downgrade. I'll look at them too.
[HTC Incredible S] justPwnY:
I did it! And the bootloader is S-ON. But i installed the ROM (rename rom.zip to PG32IMG.zip) and then i turned the bootloader to S-ON. Now i will start the Mobile but i got a red triangle. HELP!!!
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
What version is showing on the HBOOT screen now? Which RUU did you extract the ROM.zip from?
[HTC Incredible S] justPwnY:
Ok perfect. I resolved the problem. The HBOOT was already S-ON (can i say it so? :D) I started a second try to install the PG32IMG.zip. Now it started up perfectly and i got the original ROM!

Perfect guys!

**** this great amazing xda developers !!!!(:

incredible revert to stock

My HTC incredible S, currently on a custom ROM, would like to go back to stock ROM.I have a nandroid backup of stock rom taken using clockwork mod. I restored the backup and then when I tried to update the OTA update for HTC IncS, it failed.

My question is, will the steps mentioned in this thread hold good for my phone ? How can I find the RUU for my phone ?
[HTC Incredible S] farhadtarapore:
revert to stock htc rom

hi

i am using quattro rc3 on inc-s. I want to revert to stock ROM. had a few questions about the process:

1. how do i find out which stock rom to use? I dont understand what mainver means and where to find it, so can someone please help me to find the correct file

2. after i flash the stock rom, will i be able to receive OTA updates (assuming phone will be S-ON)

thanks in advance for your help

regards,

f.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
The reason the OTA failed is that you still have CWM installed. The OTA verifiies that everything is the correct version, including the recovery image or else the update will fail.

To find out which RUU you should use boot the phone into FASTBOOT USB mode and then from your PC run the following command:

fastboot getvar all

and then post the results here. That will help us determine your current main-version and also which region and CID you have. From that information we can help you determine which RUU to use.

---------- Post added at 07:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

If you have S-OFF by using AlphaRevX or Revolutionary, then you will need to follow the procedure in the original post to be able to downgrade and successfully flash a RUU.

Hi,

I've reverted back to Stock Optus ROM using this procedure. However, when I run the update to update it to Gingerbread 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0, it says no update is available. I know that there is an update for this version of the ROM as I updated it when I first got the phone. Any ideas why it won't let me update?

* What is difference between Main Version & Baseband Version?? When we want to download RUU, we need main version or baseband?..

Main version - 2.12.720.5

Baseband version - 20.2805.30.085AU_3805.04.03.27_M

** Sorry for being noob & bad english ^_^v
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
HTC__038 is india region, for some reason there are no RUU's available. So as suggested you will have to use a goldcard to flash another region.

You dont need to be rooted to flash an official ruu with a goldcard. Others on this forum have done this and have had no trouble with the service center, you should be fine.

Help needed. :(

I have unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com and flashed a recovery and flashed a custom rom.

Now When I tried to restore back to Stock rom(from the backup which i took before flashing new rom), It takes me back to recovery all the time after reboot.

I manually flashed boot.img from the back up folder too.

Still it takes me to recovery all the time. I mean, After restoring, It will just reboot and take me to recovery. Even logo "HTC Quietly Brilliant" wont show up.

My phone is S-ON.

I really need to get back to stock rom.

Please help me.:(

how to unroot when incredible s doesn't turn on?

Someone please help me!!, I just bought a used htc incredible S and I bought it a new battery but then when I put it in the batterey it turned on for a little while and then it won't turn on again. Though I know that it is rooted. It is still under warranty so I'm trying to unroot it and then send it in for repairs. Can anyone help?I;m pretty sure its on Virgin mobile and still under warranty much thanks!

[HTC Incredible S] Oronra82:
Big thanks!

It took me a few days to get it all figured out richt.

Extracting the HBOOT from the rom wasn't exactely the same as in your discription (mine was named HBOOT.13blabla) so I had to rename that one.

The 1ste and 2nd time I tried I had the anoying Security Warning so I had to S-OFF again. The 3th time went just perfect!

Now my phone is back to stock rom and is S-ON thanks to your great walkthrough! Big thanks!
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
how would I go about this process with a broken SD card reader?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
You should be able to flash everything in FASTBOOT USB mode.
[HTC Incredible S] Oronra82:
You don't need one during the whole proces.
[HTC Incredible S] Yrck:
Yeah, it's done after three hours! The first time, flashing the HBOOT was bypassed? Tried another time and the phone is now S-ON with HBOOT 1.13.

Thanks!
[HTC Incredible S] berkhof:
Hi,

I am a little bit confused with the steps. I have s-off using revolutionary and install a custom rom. From I understanding, I need to perform these steps before 1-10 in this thread:

1. Get a RUU, execute it, browse to the temp folder and get the rom.zip

2. Rename the "rom.zip" to "PG32IMG.zip"

3. Check my current mainver to make sure it is lower than the one I am going to flash. Is yes, flash it. If no, change it to make it work.

At this stage I will get a stock rom flashed with s-off showing in the bootloader, right?

Then I can follow steps 1-10 in this thread. Is that correct?

Thank you very much.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes it sounds like you have gained the knowledge and understood the steps and procedure. You should be good to go.

Vivo is a 2011 device. HTC outlets & retailers have stopped stocking the phone sometime last year, so now I don't think anyone here has a "new" phone that is less than a year old. Hence there is no need for such threads that reverts your phone to stock s-on for WARRANTY purposes....
