Disclaimer

First of all, it's NOT my guide. I just translate it for you.

I found it on Russian forum 4pda.ru posted by NeverGone

WARNING!

I am not responsible for the bricked devices. Do not do it if you aren't sure in success.

Author says that you need Radio S-OFF and AlphaRevX/Revolutionary don't give you Radio S-OFF (He posted this in 9th November 2011 and I don't clearly know what means RADIO S-off I've just installed Revolutionary S-OFF + EXT4 Touch Recovery and custom WE WANT ICS V3 ROM in my father's Incredible S)

Requirements:

1) Radio S-OFF (IMPORTANT!)

2) USB Cable

3) ADB Folder

4) Any HEX Editor (WinHEX, HxD, PSPad, ...)

Let's get started:

1) Connect your device in Charge only mode (with turned on USB Debugging)

2) Copy file that contains device's CID. In cmd:

adb shell su

then

adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/misc.img

3) Open this file via HEX Editor (don't forget to backup it!)

Now we see our CID (from 00x00 to 00x08 include dot!)

4) Change it to other:

SuperCID is 11111111 but I'm not sure if it works (need a test)

5) Now put back this file with changed CID:

adb shell su

then

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/misc_new.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

then

adb shell reboot

6)???

7)PROFIT!!!

Again want to warn you that I haven't tried to do this yet. So please tell your results in comments.
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
Why would I need to change my CID? what does it do etc
[HTC Incredible S] Endoclusian:
Super CID will let you flash any RUU on your Device...thus you wont need to search for a specific one that matches your CID...you can flash anyone that is available
[HTC Incredible S] thelostlegend:
do we need this ? we can flash any ruu using a gold card rite ?
[HTC Incredible S] john9:
Thanks for your hard work, looks great...
[HTC Incredible S] Nu11eR:
So we need XTC s-off for this, but with it we will have super cid already, i dont think this manual would be useful.
[HTC Incredible S] DarkAvenger1995:
So, Radio S-OFF means XTC clip hardware S-OFF? So is it the only way to get Radio S-OFF? For example, if there's any other way to get Radio S-OFF you can change CID (if you need it) and revert back to S-ON. So you will have official Stock ROM with S-ON HBOOT like the official one from another region.
[HTC Incredible S] Nu11eR:
yup, if will be another way, but i think it won't
[HTC Incredible S] DarkAvenger1995:
Sad :(

Let's wait what thread moderators will say about it and close it if it's really useless at all...
[HTC Incredible S] Inferi0r:
I'm not sure but I thought that Blackrose hboot is eng hboot. And that eng hboot gives radio s-off or at least give you a way to s-off radio.

Am I correct?
[HTC Incredible S] DarkAvenger1995:
Look here
[HTC Incredible S] samgurung:
Has anyone tried this? Does it change the CID... I need to change mine coz i cant find my RUU.

???
[HTC Incredible S] mr nick:
I have tried it and it did not change the CID for me but my phone does not have radio s-off.

I edited the file and put it on the phone along with a backup of the original just in case I had any problems. I rebooted the phone and checked the CID and it still reported the original number. I then used root explorer to check the folder and found that my edited file had been removed and replaced with a copy of the original. My backup file had also been removed.
[HTC Incredible S] thiagofbrito:
Anyone already tried with eng hboot?
[HTC Incredible S] ZaySk:
XTC clip just creates a goldcard for your device. So you can make a goldcard and it's the same thing as having XTC clip S-OFF.

This is from the XTC clip website.

"This is Original XTC Clip . XTC Clip is a standalone clip that allows you to unlock HTC Android phones without need for Credits or Logs. Unlocking S-Off is UNLIMITED. This solution is working on any device ("S-ON" and "S-OFF" doesn't matter).After unlocking you have SIMLOCK removed, SuperCID (11111111) and the device is "S-OFF"Very simple concept, this clip is an automatic GOLD CARD Generator."
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
No a XTC Clip does more than generate a goldcard for the device. A goldcard does not change the CID num to 1111111, or SIM Unlock the phone or give you radio S-OFF, the XTC Clip does this when you connect your phone to it as well as turning the mounted sd card into a goldcard.

With just a goldcard mounted in your phone does not give you S-OFF, it simply allows the HTC bootloader to bypass the CID check when flashing a RUU or PG32IMG.zip.
[HTC Incredible S] ZaySk:
Wow what a massive fail by me.. I was going off memory and I hadn't read about goldcards or XTC clip for a while now. Thanks for correcting that mistake.
[HTC Incredible S] n1cnak:
I wouldn't feel too bad about it!

I don't think the XTC-Clip is incredibly complex, actually financial disagreements between some of the original designers (those with special "leaked" knowledge of HTC hardware) started the manufacture of competing clone devices - bringing down the price - and eventually full build schematics & firmware, to make your own XTC-Clip, being distributed out of spite!!

XTC creates a goldcard with a file on it (specific for each device), you shove that in your phone & then a flex cable connects XTC to your simcard slot. You boot the phone with the goldcard/file & the XTC does some trickery by pretending to be some kind of magic simcard. Wish I had the time to log that communication but I'm pretty sure the info is around somewhere. There are quite a few devices that achieve the same now, that is full unlock Radio S-OFF/Simlock OFF/SuperCID etc. If I had another S-ON Incredible S there are some newer free approaches to full S-OFF I would like to try.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Thanks for the great explanation!
[HTC Incredible S] mr nick:
Anything you'd care to share for those so inclined towards tinkering? Or is it just the flashing of the nbh files you posted previously? I've not yet built up the intrigue levels to a high enough level to make me take the plunge on that one yet...
[HTC Incredible S] n1cnak:
Yeah that's the most promising approach but there are some "tools" about that suggest (but don't promise) they'll give you S-OFF. I could be wrong maybe nothing but the XTC-Clip works, but I'll try to compile a short list of alternatives I've come across (though you may have already seen them).

Don't s'pose you're ever up Far North NSW way?

BTW: The XTC-Clip creates a PG32DIAG.nbh file for IncS (P???DIAG.nbh for other phones) on the Goldcard!!

P.S. Please don't conclude that I'm endorsing or recommending any S-OFF method unless I've actually tried it myself.

The last thing I want is to be responsible for an expensive brick!!!

The only "Full"(Radio) S-OFF method I've tried is XTC-Clip & I'd only recommend that if you can get 1 dirt cheap & easily, because for newer & future phones the clip is useless.
[HTC Incredible S] mr nick:
I have to admit, the thing that has held me back on the nbh approach is the fact that it looks so like the xclip process, but without the hardware so I can't help wondering if the files are specific to a device and if they could cause any irreversible problems. I can't help thinking that if this actually worked there would be no market for the xclip as you would only need a single file to be created for each device type by somebody.

Maybe my itchy trigger finger will get the better of me and I'll have a crack at this but if there are other approaches available I'd be interested in hearing them.

And no, I have no plans to be in NSW any time soon but I'm heading to Cairns in September.
[HTC Incredible S] n1cnak:
JTag programming can restore any damage done by dodgy flashing, even if the phone won't boot, but the jtag hardware can be expensive (even if you've already got a good jtag programmer & software you'll still need an adapter to connect to the jtag pads/pins on the IncS mainboard!

Actually, if you had all the jTag stuff you would probably have no prob finding the info & 100% reliably deactivating any security on the phone.

Maybe we can sort out some access to an XTC-Clip down-the-track a bit:)

Oh, & when you're in Cairns don't forget to watch out for Irukandji (some magnification useful) or other jellies-in-a-box!!
[HTC Incredible S] Inferi0r:
I tried to get supercid with this method, it's not working. If I check my cid with 'fastboot getvar cid' it's still Dutch.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] TheF3nix:
We all know that there is no CRT-off mod for the Neo V. This is because only changing the value of config_animateScreenLights from true to false in framework-res.apk is not working anymore!

The problem is that are some missing commands in the /system/framework/services.jar

After comparing files from GB and ICS, i might have come up with a Method.

This will require some devs to continue on my work, as i don't have the proper tools to work on.

Hands-on:

This is what have to be done:

First of all decompile classes of services.jar (I won't provide any information to this, there are many tutorials out there how to use the smali tools!)

Then in com/android/server/PowerManagerService.smali we have to make the method nativeStartSurfaceFlingerAnimation(I)V callable from inner classes. To do that, we have to add the following after the last access$XXXX method:

.method static synthetic access$9000(Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;I)V
.registers 2
.parameter "x0"
.parameter "x1"

.prologue
.line 110
invoke-direct {p0, p1}, Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;->nativeStartSurfaceFlingerAnimation(I)V

return-void
.end method

Than we have to add some commands to the file com/android/server/PowerManagerService$BrightnessState.smali to trigger the CRT-off-effect. For that add the red part between :cond_38 and iget-object v4, p0, Lcom/a.... like this (its around line 400 in code):

.line 2679
.restart local v3 #turningOff:Z
:cond_38

[COLOR="red"]iget-object v4, p0, Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService$BrightnessState;->this$0:Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;

const/16 v3, 0x11 # CRT-On and CRT-Off

#calls: Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;->nativeStartSurfaceFlingerAnimation(I)
invoke-static {v4, v3}, Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;->access$9000(Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;I)V[/COLOR]

iget-object v4, p0, Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService$BrightnessState;->this$0:Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;

#getter for: Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;->mScreenBrightness:Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService$BrightnessState;
invoke-static {v4}, Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;->access$6000(Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;)Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService$BrightnessState;

move-result-object v4

Lastly, recompile the file, put it on your phone CRT-off effect will be magically displayed.

Lastly, i really seek the devs help to work on this and bring success to this work:D

BOOM.... Bout bloody time!!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] aros2k:
Does it support GBAoid saves?

Sent from my 64gb Xperia Play
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] shocito:
Nop. GBA.emu uses .sgm instead .ss0 (gameboid)

Meanwhile an .isav file was created. Anyone know what is exactly?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] IE-coRe:
Does this on work flawless on ics? i had several problems with gameboid...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Red_Kop:
Never had a problem with GBAoid or TigerGBA - what makes this so much better?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] shocito:
Updates, updates everywhere!

I have problems with saves in Castlevania Circle of the Moon in gameboid.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
It's made by Robert ****in Broglia!!!! That's what makes it so much better.

I jest, I jest... I don't actually have this one yet, but I do have all of Broglia's other emulators, and I can tell you that this dude's serious about quality assurance... to a level that most other emulator devs haven't been.

Can someone who has this test the public domain GBA homebrew game Wonkie Guy? It's not even a full game, yet it's been one of my favorites for near a decade... and more importantly, every other GBA emulator I've tried curled up in fetal position and started bawling every time I tried to load it.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LordBattleBeard:
Brilliant. I bought his GBC and NGP emulators and they both worked flawlessly, so going to buy this to replace Gameboid. Top notch :good:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fareeed:
Might sound stupid but can you map the dpad to the touchpads in this emulator? - Thanks :-)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] pokemanz:
Gameboid works good for me but my biggest problem is the graphics look blurry from the upscaling. I would buy this emulator if there is a setting which adds filters to make the games look "better"
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LordBattleBeard:
I hate to say it but I think people should wait before buying this one. Having bought and now had a chance to test it, I consider the performance of it to be much poorer than Gameboid.

Noticeable on-screen judder during playback with frameskip enabled and slows to a crawl when frameskip is disabled. Sound isn't much better. One can only hope that this gets fixed and much improved with further updates.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Marco0551:
The reason I bought this emulator is because all the emulators by this developer allow you to turn off the blurry graphics in the settings, unlike Gameboid and other emulators.

The emulator however is a bit slower but at 1.6GHz all games I tried were full speed to me.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] IanPPK:
Hope FPse does this (touchpad) in the future, will definitely get this app.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Mynzer:
Question?

Does it support Netplay or emulated cable link? for example Mario Kart or Pokemon games
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] shocito:
Games like Castlevania Aria of Sorrow, Metroid Zero Mission run laggy in GBA.emu.

In gameboid doesn't happen.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Went ahead and bit the bullet.

It plays the games that failed to load on Gameboid. I am satisfied :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LordBattleBeard:
Glad to know it runs better overclocked for you. I don't really want to do this, so I hope the dev makes the performance seriously better than as is.

No.

Good to know it isn't just me then.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rickdaddy:
will there be cheats implemented in the emulator in the future?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] loismustdie555:
Seeing as none of his other emulators have cheat capability (if that is incorrect plz correct me) on Android OR iOS I doubt it. And I have both versions (Xperia Play and iOS {5.1.1 Jailbroken on iPhone 4S}) and often sound is a problem in some games like Sonic Advance 3 where all you hear is the music and nothing else (like jumping noises, or other collision noises) and the sound is crap without frame skip to 1.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] shocito:
I tested it before with Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero with lag issues, but yesterday the emu has be updated and it runs faster without lag. :laugh:

The new version is 1.4.32

* Reduced chance of crashing on some devices when toggling the status bar

* Fixed fast CPU->GPU copy in Android 4.1

* Sound buffering and latency improvements, see website for more info about new Strict Underrun Check option.

* Native x86 build included for Intel devices
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] WorkingFerus:
I have also tried this emulator with Metroid Zero Mission and Fusion. It is the only emulator that I have been able to use to play those two games. :laugh:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] shocito:
I tried to play Golden Sun 2 but it has a sound buffer issue :eek:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] InvincibleSoul:
Will try, thanks!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LordBattleBeard:
I couldn't recommend this app. Lag every 5-10s with frameskip on and unplayable with frameskip off.

Had any other dev released this, it would undoubtedly have an overall rating of below 4* by now. The dev has clearly bought himself a following and goodwill from past emulators, but this one just doesn't cut it for what it costs. My Boy, Gamboid, VGBA are all better than this.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] EnzoSZFang:
Still feeling lag ......

[HD2 General] halfstasis:
Hello everyone,

I have a TMOUS HTC HD2 and I need to send it to the repair center. I have already uninstalled HSPL, but when I enter the bootloader a white bar shows up at the top displaying "Security Unlocked".

Can this void my warranty? If so, how can I remove it? I found a thread about removing it,

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3299516&postcount=492

but I believe it's only for the Touch Diamond and doesn't really say if the "Security Unlocked" thing voids the warranty.

Thank you.
[HD2 General] powerofthink:
Could you solve your problem? Because i have this problem. I can't install anything. I tried HSPL2, HSPL3, HSPL4. They didn't change HSPL. I tried Task29, radio rom 2.15.50.14, and also original rom and gold card method.. And nothing happened. it says "file is corrupted"..
