Hi guys,

I resisted a lot not to go with complicate S-Off process as I have already unlocked boot loader from htcdev.

But finally my resistance ended and what I did, It seems my phone bricked.

I had following when I started to run script.

Boot loader: unlocked through htcdev

ROM: CV10

HBoot version: 2.00.0000

After answering questions, boot loader status is relocked but finding customer ID error while running RUU. I guess that is gold card error.

After stuck on boot loader,

while connected to PC, I get devices under "fastboot devices", but nothing when trying to "adb devices"

Also, while running downgrade script again and again, it stucks so many times on waiting for device to connect. Eventhough progressing slowly further, when reaching creating goldcard, it ends device not found and error.

Also something like adb server outdated, killing...

Note I am running script on Win 7 PC, installed and uninstalled HTC drivers...

Please help me.
[HTC Incredible S] RmatriX1218:
Here is log attached.

What I found, it stucks on waiting for device to connect...

I am opening another window and running adb devices...

So, I am getting in runme window found device...

But still, ends up with error....is it related to adb driver?

And from boot screen, no recovery nothing...so is it what we know bricked or some hope still there?

Please help.
[HTC Incredible S] RmatriX1218:
Please someone,....help

I am stuck on boot screen, no recovery there...

By any chance, is it possible that stucking at boot screen like this also messes up with ADB mode or it could be only driver issue?

And any different RUU can help to get rid of Customer ID error?
[HTC Incredible S] guyc:
hope you get help soon

I'm sorry, I can't help you. I hope others will help you or are willing to point you towards a solution.

Good luck

If you used this guide to gain S-OFF and rooted your phone, then your best bet is to go to the Development section and find the ROMS that are based on official HTC RUU and are rooted like the one in my signature.

Otherwise, you will need to search this forum for the posts that describe how to remove S-OFF and return to stock. DO NOT attempt to use a stock HTC RUU to try to go back to stock without removing the custom S-OFF HBOOT.

Have you checked HTCDEV.com? That is where you will find the official ICS ROM for the IncS.

Downgraded HBOOT, but stuck on Revolutionary

Hey guys, I know this thread is old, but I'm trying to S-OFF an old Incredible S I just acquired and I'm stuck. After some hiccups, I managed to follow the entire first guide and revert to HBOOT 1.13.0000. I got the revolutionary beta and a valid key, but I always encounter an error:

Waiting for fastboot...

Rebooting to fastboot (Once moar...)

FAILED - Go have some lemonade!

Press (almost) any key to exit.

These are the first lines of my HBOOT screen:

I searched the web and the forums, but I can't find any solution. Btw, I've disabled fastboot and enabled usb-debugging and third party apps. I also launched revolutionary via the command line which I'm running as admin. I've run out of ideas. Any help would be highly appreciated!!

I am stuck on RUU step. I have passed the step 9, rebooted into bootloader, executed the RUU (on Windows 7 should I be admin?), waited 2 minutes and It gives me Error 140: error version bootloader!!

So I have clicked on exit button (on the 140 error message window) and the phone has rebooted normally into android. I shut down the phone and enter the bootloader but the version is still 2.01.0001!!

What I can see here on bootloader is:

[HTC Incredible S] Osutin:
Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me. I've been trying to s-off and root my friends HTC Incredible S, but it doesn't work. I follow the proper steps and all, but when I get to starting Revolutionary and connecting the phone, nothing happens. USB debugging is on, fastboot off, charge only on, but nothing happens. It is connected to my computer, but revolutionary still says waiting for phone. If it matters, which I don't think it should because I'm able to transfer files to and from, when I try to do this, I'm using my Samsung Micro USB instead of his HTC micro USB. Does this in fact make all of the difference, or is it possibly something else? And his HBOOT version is 1.13.. I've tried it on both my Windows 8 OS and Ubuntu Linux, both didn't work. Any help would be appreciated. And might lessen my new found hate for HTC (probably not though).
[HTC Incredible S] naathaanb96:
did you install htc sync for the adb drivers ?
[HTC Incredible S] stab244:
Hi. Brand new around here but not to the Android hacking scene. I'm trying to get S-OFF right now. However, when I try to input the beta key it keeps saying that it is invalid. Any suggestions?

Whoops read it wrong. Helped after I copied into notepad and realized the first I was actually a lowercase l.
[HTC Incredible S] zukri90:
I did faced that before. And reason why it shows invalid is that you input the wrong beta key.
[HTC Incredible S] Epic.:
Guys you have to be extra careful when copying beta key
[HTC Incredible S] zukri90:
There was a time I accidentally key in the wrong beta key, and get invalid key. So it's not so dangerous if you key in the wrong beta key :angel:

[HTC Incredible S] Epic.:
so r u s off now?
[HTC Incredible S] AcidSentance:
G'day,

I've been trying to downgrade my mates Incredible S but I swear everything under the sun that can go wrong has been going wrong.

I've ran the script and am getting similar results to what shaunnsb is getting. I definitely have USB Debugging enabled and have done a factory reset as he stated. Nothing seems to work.

However I have run through the script and the device is reporting the security reclocked warning. Would you say it's safe to continue with the RUU downgrade? I'm hesitant to do so because of all the warnings it producing during the script, but it has changed something during the process as it was unlocked via HTC Dev beforehand.

Cheers,
[HTC Incredible S] naathaanb96:
mine had the relock warning and i went ahead and done the ruu and it worked ;D
[HTC Incredible S] stab244:
Make sure you have the drivers for your phone installed or adb won't see it.

Yeh u got this right ;)

:good::good::good:

---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

To those of you that encountered my problems, heres how i manage to solved them.

i used an empty SD card 8GB and did a factory reset + formatting the card.

Having all the drivers installed and uninstalling the htc sync i then run those programs with administrator privileges (Windows 7)

just go through the procedures and you will be fine. :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Incredible S] AcidSentance:
Definitely got the drivers installed, I'm thinking their is possibly an issue with his phone. Often it shows up as an unrecognized device and Windows reports that the USB port is malfunctioning.

I've unlocked/put custom ROMs on X10s, Desires, Nexus S', SGSIIs and now my SGSIII and I've never had as much trouble as this 1 phone! I don't want to let it defeat me :mad:
[HTC Incredible S] Epic.:
Since you have re locked bootloader just run the ruu :)
[HTC Incredible S] EvrStngNevDwn:
this guide is f... awesome for noob like me :)
[HTC Incredible S] AcidSentance:
You reckon it should downgrade fine then? Even with the errors that were present during the script?

Cheers!
[HTC Incredible S] Epic.:
Sorry wat errors did u get?
[HTC Incredible S] AcidSentance:
Don't have the phone handy but it looked the same as this, only difference being I am selecting Y at unlocked bootloader from htcdev. I'm weary to continue because it states down the bottom "If all steps were completed without error" but it did re-lock as I mentioned before.
[HTC Incredible S] Epic.:
If u got this error it means that u haven't enabled usb debugging

Didn't notice your signature. Since you have HBOOT 2.00, you are going to have to downgrade the HBOOT first by following the procedure in the first post.

If you already tried it, then something went wrong. You probably need to try it again and post your command window results.

[HTC Incredible S] naathaanb96:
hboot is still suppost to be 2.00 until you run the RUU. try unlocking your bootloader with htcdev.com then run this again. you will see relocked and security warning in hboot then run the RUU. for me after doing that it booted into gingerbread. i skipped the setup then rebooted into hboot and it was v 1.16 i think. something like that. then i ran revolutionary and got s off. then installed blackrose hboot and put ice cold on my phone :)

The command should be "adb devices" when you have the phone booted or in recovery mode.

From you previous post, you are indeed not rooted.

Before the last line I should have had you type "exit" after the "adb shell" line and before the "adb push" line.

So now just open a command window where you have the Downgrade script runme.bat located and type the following:

files\adb push files\tacoroot.bin /data/local
