Hi guys, here's my story so far.

I had achieved S-OFF using Revolutionary and installed IceColdSandwich

I am trying to go back to stock in order to avail warranty.

I downloaded an RUU that had sense 3.0 (RUU_VIVO_SENSE30_S_HTC_WWE_3.08.405.3_Radio_20.4802.30.0822U_3822.10.08.28_M_release_227170_signed_2.exe)

Then I extracted rom.zip, changed its mainver to 2.00.000.0

When I tried flashing this Rom, it would get stuck at the HTC screen. After reading some posts I found that hboot 2.00 was required

My hboot was being shown as 6.13.1002

After some googling I found a link that had a file that said it would give me hboot 2.000

I flashed that and my hboot jumped to 7.00.1000

Then I tried flashing the Rom and it worked. My phone turned s-on but the bootloader still shows s-off!

I guess it was also supposed to change the text in bootloader. During installation, it had said skipping HBOOT installation (or something similar)

Bootloader now looks as follows:

*** UNLOCKED!***

**Special for 4pda.ru!**

VIVO PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-7.00.1000

RADIO-3822.10.08.28_M

eMMC-boot

Nov 1 2011,20:33:03

My phone's mainver is 2.00.000.0

I have tried installing ConsoleBot and I see a $ prompt which means the phone is no longer rooted. I also cannot install Titanium Backup

I just want my phone to show S-ON in the bootloader so that I can avail warranty.

I know there are a lot of posts on this and I've read almost all of them. What I need is a cocktail of all these solutions. Please guide me through this.

Warm Regards,

Angad
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Both the Revolutionary HBOOT and this 7.00.1000 HBOOT are coded to prevent the S-OFF HBOOT from being overwritten and losing S-OFF when flashing a RUU. That is the issue you are running into. In the Development section there is a thread about the 7.00.1000 HBOOT and how to return to a stock HBOOT with S-ON. I suggest you visit that thread for your solution.
[HTC Incredible S] angad619:
Thanks for the quick response tpbklake

Just to confirm, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1373697 is the post you are referring to, right?

One question that I had was that since I'm on S-ON now, will I still be able to do it?

If I can and I do, I guess I wont be able to install RUU_VIVO_SENSE30_S_HTC_WWE_3.08.405.3_Radio_20.48 02.30.0822U_3822.10.08.28_M_release_227170_signed_ 2.exe

Can I try with the following RUU?

RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_20.2808.30.085AU_38¶

05.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed

Will that work with a lower HBOOT?

Thanks bro!

According to your OP, the HBOOT screen shows that you still have S-OFF, not S-ON.
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
Isn't the 4pda.ru hboot different to the blackrose? Looking through the blackrose thread there has been issues with the uninstall script. It looks like the issue is in the line

fastboot flash hboot_1.13.0000_CRC_8a731c6e_0401.img

it's not pointing to a partition.

I.e.

fastboot flash hboot hboot_1.13.0000_CRC_8a731c6e_0401.img

if the 4pda.ru hboot doesn't support all the commands that blackrose does, the uninstall script may fail anyway although it shouldn't cause a brick. Anyway, op give it a try and report the result, there's more than one way to do this if it fails. Good luck.
[HTC Incredible S] dla5244:
Normally, we call Eng s-off as s-off

Eng s-off is hboot level s-off(skip checking radio secuflag) by flashing custom hboot(BlackRose or revolutionary) or engineering hboot, while radio s-off is turning off radio secuflag

Radio secuflag is located in HTC partition protected by NAND MMU

I guess your device is Radio S-OFF

To revert s-on, you need to manipulate radio security flag by using AT-command(AT@SIMLOCK=7,1)

Edit: Hmm sorry.

Your device is eng s-off

But it has hboot flasing protect

You can flash hboot without any flasing protect by using dd command(/dev/block/mmcblk0p18)

Lecahel.
[HTC Incredible S] angad619:
I've downloaded the zip for Blackrose

This is the first time I'm trying to do anything through adb so please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong.

I went into bootloader and then adb devices just wont show my device.

So I started the phone normally and tried adb devices and it showed my device.

Is that correct?

Since I want HBOOT 2.00, I tried commands from install.bat one by one:

adb kill-server (worked)

adb wait-for-device (worked)

adb push hboot_2.00.0000_br.img /data/local/hboot_blackrose.img (worked)

adb shell dd if=/data/local/hboot_blackrose.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Now I get the error:

Does this mean I don't have root access (Titanium backup and SU dont work either)??

How do I proceed?

Edit: If I need to root HBOOT 7.00.1000, how do I do it?
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
Flash a custom recovery then flash either a custom rom or su package http://goo.im/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
[HTC Incredible S] angad619:
Thanks for the tip Nonverbose.

I flashed CWM 5.0.2.0 followed by SU 3.0.7

Then I tried the following:

adb wait-for-device
adb push hboot_2.00.0000_br.img /data/local/hboot_blackrose.img
adb shell dd if=/data/local/hboot_blackrose.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

It said permission denied.

So I typed

adb shell
$ su
su
# shell dd if=/data/local/hboot_blackrose.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

And it was successful!

Now in my HBOOT I can see

* BlackRose-B *

VIVO PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-2.00.0000

Phew finally!

Now to get S-ON I need to install some RUU, right?

will RUU_VIVO_SENSE30_S_HTC_WWE_3.08.405.3_Radio_20.48 02.30.0822U_3822.10.08.28_M_release_227170_signed_ 2.exe work or should I try with RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_20 .2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
You should be running the uninstall script from blackrose to get s-off I believe.

If your phones region is compatible with the wwe ruu's you can run either, providing your main version is low enough. You might as well run the sense 3 ruu, it will probably be easiest.

You do not need hboot 2.00 as the ruu will install the correct hboot.
[HTC Incredible S] angad619:
I tried the uninstall script and it worked fine!

I now had HBOOT 1.13.0000 and S-ON but then my phone wont go past the HTC screen because it was earlier having a Sense 3.0 RUU

So I tried to run the older RUU that was meant for HBOOT 1.13.0000

but this failed halfway and when I checked the mainver, I get a blank

fastboot getvar all gives me the following

Why is my mainver blank??

This is getting scary for me.. I have S-ON but am stuck at the HTC screen

Trying to install the RUU again but it fails without giving any meaningful error message

UPDATE:

I tried running the RUU again. This time it worked perfectly. Phew!

I now have S-ON with RUU 2.30.405!

Not the latest RUU but atleast I can take it for repairs!

Quick Question : If I run the RUU for Sense 3 will it work? (Note I have HBOOT 1.13.0000)
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
Glad it all worked for you. Did you have to edit the uninstall.bat file on blackrose? Was interesting to see a blank mainver, did you check at any other time if it was there? The sense 3 ruu should work on your phone, it will also upgrade the hboot.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes you should now be able to run the Sense 3 RUU.
[HTC Incredible S] angad619:
I was able to install the Sense 3 RUU too.

The first time it failed. For some reason it said that the Bootloader was unlocked!

Then I did a fastboot oem lock and ran the RUU again and then it worked!

Thank you Nonverbose and tpbklake for all your help. The work you do for the community is immense! Really grateful for everything. Most people who say they bought an android because it was 'open source' have no clue how much efforts guys like you put into it...

Cheers to you!

I think we should storm T-Mobile's headquarters Matrix-style to get the source code, then hand it to the very capable developers here to finish it in a day or two. What say you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anomy13:
Good idea... but I think the topic "ICS" is too general. How would we be able keep track of what the issue at hand is? Different groups of people could be talking about different things here at the same time.. if we keep it to "ONE" official forum for ICS. And it would just end up for a lot of us to do page searching.

Came here to post this (Samsung just tweeted and FB'd it). Y'all are fast!

Well, this is very depressing. I guess I'll be hopping on the SIII bandwagon soon.

As happy as I am with the T989 on Gingerbread, I want the latest and greatest. T-mobile has failed me once again. All of this Galaxy S II ICS news from other carriers, the ICS update for the S II for Tmo UK users, and now we get a message "in the coming months". That's sort of... heartbreaking to say the least.

If we dont show support for the galaxy s3 maybe they will pull their heads out of their butts.

I freakin love the phone but I'm tired of all they stupid excuses. You can still release source or some crap.

I've already gave up on this phone getting an official update , already accepted that ill have to get another phone so i will choose wisely next time, honestly the only thing that keeps me with T-Mobile is wi-fi calling if they ever stop that then I see no reason to stay with them
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xxjrsmith3xx:
You sir have a point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FRuiTBoOT:
Probably would be useless, the small number of users that actually know of or care about an update is nothing compared to the amount of people that just buy a phone because it looks nice or has a big screen. Most customers are oblivious. Most it would do is start a small trending topic and then it would fizzle like KONY 2012. Next thing you know your running around in public naked doing the "5 knuck backhand no drop ins". Updates are worthless to carriers usually unless its more of a Dev phone like the nexus. Which the SGS2 is not. Well atleast T-Mobile version. Money is in the contract! Hook line and sinker.

But what do I know? Nothing but what I have seen with my last three devices on T-Mobile. I don't think the SGS3 is going to be any different, ship the phone. Get the money. Rinse and repeat.

Thankfully there is a sweet dev community that can work wonders Modding and porting ROMs but I can even see now certain communities are fading out because of Vultures and demanding users plying updates updates updates. We should all chill and just enjoy what we have and work with it. Last thing you want is more talented Devs and Themers leaving a device you own because patience is not in our vocabulary. ICS will or will not come...device has only been out for several months. Look at the SGH-T959 community, strong and mad ROMs. Stuff takes time. This is a hobby for people, hobby! Something people like. Whoaaaa...way off topic. I'll shut up now. Sorry for the Opinionated rant.

Carry on.

Try this, or find a ROM that already has it enabled (WCX)

Install android_wifi_tether b14 (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta14.apk)

Go into settings and set your "Device Profile" to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM).

Tick the box for "Routing Fix"

Start Tethering

Connect from computer

Boom - tethered

Note: You may or may not need to use access control to allow your computer.

Note 2: It's very possible that you'll run into IP conflicts with the general setup. You might have to go to Change LAN and pick a new subnet.

Note 3: Problably not a bad idea to setup encryption

Note 4: I was initially getting DNS errors - don't know if it was Routing Fix that corrected it, or using OpenDNS DNS servers (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220) was what fixed it. So, if after doing everything else, if it's still not working hardcode OpenDNS servers for DNS Servers on your wireless connection

Same here in Spain with an Orange HTC One S. Yesterday my phone rebooted three times and it was just laying next on my desk. Another problem is sometimes it doesn't connect to GSM network for a minute or two. It is also chipping a litlle bit on the upper edge. I am thinking of returning it.

Nooooooooooooo :eek: I switched from a Motorola Defy+ to a OneS to get away from that particular problem which seemed to be unsolvable. Just about only things you could try is another sim card (unlikely), factory reset or probably the best option ..... take it back asap.

[HTC One S] nascio:
my h3g signal go and come sometimes, but i think it depends by my cutting sim card to transform in micro sim.
[HTC One S] pjsmith:
I also cut my sim card to make it into a micro sim. I new this was possible but thought this might be a bad idea but when I spoke to vodafone about getting a new sim, they said 'bring it in and we'll cut it down for you'. I thought I might as well do it myself.

I just had a thought. How many of you with the rebooting problem have their phones in cases? Mine is. Now that you can't remove the battery to reset they've built that functionality into the power off button. Hold down to reset. I don't think it's that sensitive, but it just got me to thinking, is the case putting some minor pressure on that button to reset the phone? I just tried it manually, and it replicates the reboot... Going to try leaving mine out of the case for a while. Should only take a day to find out. Having said that, it does it sat on the desk on charge without having been touched.
[HTC One S] ascot17:
I agree. Anyone using a TPU gel case that has the power button covered up might get this problem. I have cut a hole in the case over the power button for exactly this reason. Holding down the power button on the phone for ~10 secs replicates a battery pull.

Looking now to find a gel case that already has a hole there as mine looks a little untidy now.
[HTC One S] pjsmith:
Just an update. Left phone out of case since yesterday - rebooted once yesterday whilst I tried to launch the browser and once just now whilst it was on standby on my desk. The case would appear to not be relevant. Got a response from HTC. Apart from recommending a factory reset (why do they recommend that on a new blank phone!), they say return it....

Since the wiki for ad-hoc is kinda confusing, I'll try explaining it. Ad-hoc is essentially client to client wifi. So the kindle would be able to act as a router to become a access point.
