I am stuck in the beginning, I ran the runme.cmd and it asked me first if the device is rooted, I answered no and the phone restarted and then got stuck on a phone with a red warning symbol on.
[HTC Incredible S] Epic.:
Can you give me the information that appears when you boot into bootloader
[HTC Incredible S] TheJeeks:
It's going well now but downloading the RUU is taking forever. Is there a better link?

There's a mirror in the second post
[HTC Incredible S] TheJeeks:
I keep getting Bootloader version error when I run the RUU

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------

When I run runme.cmd I get permission denied at one of the steps and it says root removed.

Some help here would be appreciated.
[HTC Incredible S] Epic.:
Have you got the htc drivers?
[HTC Incredible S] TheJeeks:
Yes I have, I installed HTC Sense and all that comes with it and uninstalled it but left the drivers.

As I said, during the process after the first reboot when asked if I have root, in the script I see root removed, I was never allowed to run the RUU

Do you need to create a goldcard?

Undoing tacoroot

TacoRoot: HTC Edition v1

By Justin Case (jcase)

Presented by TeamAndIRC, RootzWiki and AndroidPolice

With great assistance from Reid Holland (Erishasnobattery)

----------

TacoRoot: HTC Edition v1 is based on a vulnerability independently discovered by

both Justin Case and Dan Rosenberg (Rosenberg fist). I believe unrevoked and

AlpahRev were also aware of it.

----------

Usage:

--recovery : For this exploit to work, you must have booted recovery at least on

ce after your last factory reset.

--setup : Setup the phone for root, must be done before --root.

--root : Root the phone.

--undo : Remove TacoRoot.

----------

rm failed for /data/data/recovery/log, Permission denied

rm failed for /data/local.prop, No such file or directory

Root removed, rebooting

If you get a Bootloader version error, than that means that the script has failed to modify the version-main value to 2.00.0000. Which version of the HBOOT do you have and which version of the Downgrade script do you have?
[HTC Incredible S] TheJeeks:
I have 2.01.0001 and I have MDTK v3.3

And the RUU I am trying to install is the one in the first post.
[HTC Incredible S] TheDareDevil:
Im not sure this method works for 2.01. You MAY have to unlock your bootloader from htcdev first
[HTC Incredible S] TheJeeks:
So htcdev then start from top on this guide?

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

I am sure I am not the only one with 2.01, so how is this done?

Please guys, I really need help here.
[HTC Incredible S] TheJeeks:
htcdev is not working either.

It seems that my phone cannot be rooted and I am stuck at HTC stock.

---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

I think I have tried this guide at least 20 times, it is the recovery that I cannot boot into. I always get a phone with a red warning triangle.

I will ask for help one more time then I am out of here, I don't have the patience nor the time anymore.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
When you get the red triangle screen you then need to press the volume up key and the power button to get to the recovery screen.

Some idea please ?

[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Thanks for output the script. It has successfully downgraded your version-main value to 2.00.000.0 and you are now ready to run the RUU mentioned at the start of this thread and the Downgrade Script thread. Once you run that RUU, you will be able to gain S-OFF by running Revolutionary.

help

my phone is stuck on hboot screen

on top its written "relocked", then "security warning"

i cant do anything, cant go into recovery, cant reboot

i had bootloader unlocked by htcdev

so i answered the question in runme.cmd y

before running the ruu file which failed afterwards

plz help
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
You may be OK. Next time it would be a great help to post the results of running the script.

Anyway, put the phone in FASTBOOT USB mode and then type the following command:

fastboot getvar all

and post the results. That will show us whether or not the script was successful in modifying the version-main value to 2.00.000.0.

That fact that your phone is now RELOCKED leads me to believe that the script may have completed, but the fastboot getvar all will confirm whether is was successful or not.

cant anyone help me ??

have i bricked the phone or something ?? still on the same screen
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
It could be related to the fact that you were RELOCKED with the SECURITY WARNING.

You may need to reflash the stock RUU and then try again.
[HTC Incredible S] anonymousss:
it is now writtin unlocked but still i cant boot into any rom after flashing the rom zip and even the boot.img file.

if i have too flash the ruu file, how to do that ? via recovery ?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
A RUU file is an executable program you run on a Windows PC and then follow the instructions. It will tell you when to connect your phone and step you through the process.
[HTC Incredible S] anonymousss:
i will try and tell u what happened

EDIT: tried many times to run the ruu file when i was in fastboot mode and another time i just turned on the phone

when i was in fastboot mode

i had a black screen with a big white htc text in it

then after 1 minute or smth

A small request !

I had worked a lot on htc hd2 and recently bought a incredible s to work on :cowboy:

well i have downloaded all the tools ... needed...

i am on HBOOT 2.00.0000 and S-ON !

i have like two options ...either go got this manual process or to choose the HTC dev unlock !

Please suggest me which is better and have less risk involved !

Also, is it possible to place a custom ROM in the SD card and boot into recovery and install the clockworkmod recovery after S-OFF from htc website ?

or shud i follow the process mentioned on 1st page ! hope u guys gonna help me !

i will work on a New Htc Incredible s ICS jellybean Rom too ! its a come back after one one year :cool: (i was working on windows phone 7.5 and 8 #i am app developer)
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
The best option in my opinion is to follow the procedure in the opening post and gain true S-Off because that will provide you with the most flexibility. By doing so you would be able to install CWM and then flash the custom ROMs.

when I bought my phone I had hboot 1.09 s-on with 8gb microsd card from canadian bell

then I made an gold card and flashed different ruu

after I made hboot s-off through revolutionary alpharev and bought different microsd card 32Gb

and the flashing started :)

2 days ago I flashed hboot 2.0.3 from latest ruu, unlocked hboot with htcdev and installed arhd 4.0 and through bootloader I flashed the boot.img

my question is: can I downgrade from hboot v 2.0.3 s-on unlocked and do I have now goldcard or not?

thank you.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Your original 8G microSD is still a goldcard and you could use that.

You should be able to use this procedure on hboot 2.0.3 unlocked.

then unlocked bootloader again with the boot command and the file from htcdev.

now my bootloader is the same 2.0.3 S-on Unlocked

went in recovery and flash stock unroot by tptalke, everyhting is fine

I am so mad at mike1986 you can not even imagine

(I never did anything with my bootloader because always was afraid , but when I read what he wrote I told myself he is an expert and I got fu..ed)...

I guess we have to wait for some kind of alpharev for hboot 2.0.3 s-on unlocked to get s-off back :(

till then I will not try anything.

Indeed great tutorial, that been said I've tried everything several times and still cannot get the S-OFF ! all the procedures run perfectly up to the RUU updating part when it stops and gives an ERROR 131 or something like that and ask me to find an appropiate RUU and whatnot....................by then everything is pretty much erased and I have to go back and re-unlocked and set up apps and such. I am running Android version 2.3.5, Sense 3.0, software number 3.09.720.1. Of course the HBoot is 2.00.0000 and yes I've followed the instructions thoroughly, even switched sd-cards to see it that was the issue while creating the gold card to no avail......

I thought my Inc. S was rooted, but it isn't

Last week I followed the tutorials step by step, so I gained boot unlock, S-OFF and also root (at least that's what I thought). I flashed several ROMs. Now I'm running

Android 4.3

CyanVivo 10.2 stable 4 (Szezso) ==> which I find great btw

Bootscreen:

..-Revolutionary-

..VIVO PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

..HBOOT-6.13.1002

Recovery: CWM 5.0.2.0

Could it be that I somewhere got temporary root instead of permanent root? When I check in terminal and I type "su", I get several lines starting with "Permission denial" and ending with "Permission denied".

With my wife's HTC Desire Z, I get # instead of $.

What could have happened? I did install Superuser 3.1.3 (icon appearing among the other apps), but there is no root!

Thanks for your help

[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Go back to the thread. Read a couple pages. And you will understand that in order to have proper root on android 4.3, it is required to flash the latest version of supersu in recovery. Key word flash not install from playstore

Thank you!

You can believe me, I've been reading for days to unlock my two HTC-phones and flash CM10, but I didn't notice this problem with superuser and Android 4.3. For me: problem solved.
