can step 6 be done in bootloader or fastboot mode because i cant get into launcher
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
It can be done when you are boot into recovery.
[HTC Incredible S] Oronra82:
Thanks to you I'm back on Hboot 1.13.0000 and S-OFF. This guide works perfect! No more flashing boot.img for me :D
[HTC Incredible S] MrToastbrot:
Nice HowTo, but i'm stuck at Step 7 when I try to install the RUU. The RUU says it is failed and on the Phone the following is written on the display:

RUU

Security fail!

Update Fail!

I'm on Hboot 2.02.0002 and htcdev unlocked.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
This will not work for HBOOT 2.02.0002. You need to go to the General section and use Nonverbose's Downgrade Script.
[HTC Incredible S] MrToastbrot:
But the title says Downgrade Hboot 2.02.0002 S-ON to get BLACKROSE S-OFF :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
You are correct, the manual commands that are shown in this procedure will work to prepare your phone for a RUU downgrade.

What the procedure does not document is that you need to run the following command in FASTBOOT USB mode before you perform Step 7:

fastboot oem lock

You need to relock you bootloader in order to run a RUU. Also the procedure does not mention the fact that you may need to create a goldcard in order to run the suggested WWE RUU.

So even after you lock the bootloader, you may still get an error trying to run the RUU such as CID error. In that case you will need to create a goldcard.
[HTC Incredible S] MrToastbrot:
Now all Points are clear. I didn't remember, that i had to relock my phone. Ok, when i relocked my phone, can I go with this howto or should I use noverboses script? And what is a Goldcard? Do I need to create one?

Sometimes, the old times are much better. With my wildfire it was much easier. Just run revolutionary and finished. Now with all this htcdev lock, relock, goldcards, ruu etc... :D
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Nonverbose's script will create a goldcard for you. But at this point I would go ahead and relock your bootloader and then try running the RUU.

If it fails with error 131: CID error then you will need to create a goldcard which is nothing more than a special signature on your SD card that tells the bootloader to ignore the CID check when installing a RUU.
[HTC Incredible S] MrToastbrot:
My phone always was WWE, so i don't need to create a Goldcard right?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Correct. If you were already running WWE, then you will not need a goldcard.

Very confusing ! :eek:

i read almost everything here in incredible s forums !!

stickys ..general and bla bla bla !

I noticed few things-

developers are choosing more than method for rooting the fone and den installing a custom rom and also the clockworkmod !

- their shud be one thread for guiding how to root and install Clockworkmod and den install custom rom !

- in blackrose thread, no one has described for what purpose it is for and what blackrose actually does.

- what shud be followed first - revolutionary or blackrose or hboot

- i badly needed a help ! i made ma first custom rom tweaked ma old script of HTC HD2 and now integrated in the ICS rom for incredible s ! just wanna test it !

Please some one cud really help me and guide me how to install custom rom !

I have unlocked ma bootloader from HTCDEV ! what shud be followed next !

STEP BY STEP :angel:

currently on ICS 4.04 , HBOOT 2.00.02 ! spare some time for me and den i ll make a final thread "how to" including the VIDEOS and pics guiding how to downgrade and what is revolutionary and blackrose and everything ! help me and i ll help others :D

lets make this popular just like HTC HD2 thread is and just like sensation thread is !:)

[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
That process still works with HBOOT 2.02.0002. Also, to return to stock, you would simply relock your bootloader and then run the ICS RUU and it will remove root and custom recovery and you will be back to stock.
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
HTC Dev unlock works with all hboots over 1.16 or something

its definitely compatible with yours

All your questions have been asked already, you seem as though they have never been asked.

As for returning to stock, there's a thread in general about returning to stock for warranty or something. Search and Google are your friends :)

[HTC Incredible S] neelgangrade:
thanks to all of you guys ... thanks a lot :D i actually pressed the THANKS button who came in ma way !

will be soon for a DONATE button :D

working on new roms now for incredible s ... it will take around 10 more days to become familier with new boots and new steps in installing !

feeling awsome ... i am back on xda :D

can u answer a small question ?

as i flashed the new rom from zip card which i used to do in my old htc hd2 ... here is one more step after that ... flash boot.img ... that extracting the boot.img and then flashing it and rebooting the device to ensure the stability of the rom.

do i have to do this process for evey rom ? like m gonna try ARHD 3.1 ! so do i have to extract boot.img and den flash it via CMD ?

:angel: :confused:

thanks for helping me buddies ... :good:
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes, unfortunately with the unlocked bootloader you WILL have to manually flash the boot.img file for each new ROM you try.

Yes, I got the link from the Downgrade Script post in the General section.

Hey guys do you think this is an easier method than others it seems quicker than other script? And when we it says run the gingerbread RUU how do you run it ?
[HTC Incredible S] eRadicant:
the script does the same **** but does it for you

run it in fastboot usb
[HTC Incredible S] james1196:
The only reason I don't like the script it the mixed answers in the thread. Do you have to type any code or what?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
No there is no code you need to enter for the script. You will have to enter data to perform the unlock bootloader process at HTCDEV.com, but that is not part of the script.
[HTC Incredible S] james1196:
OK I'm already bootloader unlocked.

[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
This guide is old and there are easier ways to run through this part of the process. Theres a thread in the General Forum by nonverbose (pretty sure its stickied). Within the thread, theres a script that does everything for you automatically. Then run the RUU provided in that thread. Use Revolutionary to get S-OFF, slap on a ROM with an unsecured boot.img and then run blackrose.

I was quickly able to activate my Samsung Vitality (Gingerbread 2.3.4) to Page Plus with some limitations to MMS and default browser and stable 3G. After two weeks of reading every post I could find, I decided I should ask here !

1. The ##Data# does not do anything so I am unable to edit the default "Cricket" internet/MMS settings and apply the Page Plus settings. This causes issues with the default browser... it doesn't work and with MMS message sending. I have been able to overcome the MMS issue by apply a Page Plus APN, but it doesn't correct the browser. Does anyone know how I can get into the ##DATA# mode ?

2. I use QPST to change the settings necessary for Page Plus including the latest 3G PRL. 1x is solid as a rock, but 3G comes up, sometimes I can get a single web page to load then it drops ... within a few min. it will drop again... any idea on this ? (I am trying to be brief so if you want my QPST/PRL info please ask and I will provide.

3. I know Samsung had a "generic" update to 2.3.6, but it is no longer showing as available for download .. does anyone have the update available for download ?

Thanks in advance

Thanks ! I successfully updated to the 2.3.6. Unfortunately, I still have the problem with 3G, browser, mms msg and now with the Google Play Store. Steps taken -Used one click root to get root back, activated via *228, updated PRL, checked settings in QPST, identical as they were before.

1. Using same method as before to enable mms. I go into airplane mode, delete apn and load the pageplus apn via apn backup & restore app. Then MMS works.

Do I need a special MMS.apk for page plus ?

2. Stock browser, dolphin both still have same issue on data (not wifi), connection error on any url load - Opera mini works in socket mode but has same problem if changed to http.

3. 3G has same symptom, it will reflect 3G in hybrid mode and in EVDO mode, but drops out comes back, drops out and cannot load web pages etc.. in CDMA mode only, have solid 1x like before and 1x speeds.

4. New problem, Google Play Store unable to connect unless I use marketaccess.apk to manually set to Verizon 310004 and emulate on boot. I expected the upgrade from market to google play to eliminate the need for me to continue to emulate the provider I am on in the US.

Thanks again !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wgfolsom:
Update

Update on browser issue. I called Page Plus .. told them I was using a "motorola Citrus" even tho they know I'm not, the rep looked at my settings and said hang on there are a couple of features that could be enable.. 5 minutes later I reactivated and the stock browser works. I wish I could tell you what features on my account they enabled, but they did not tell me. Prior to this my only browse ability was thru Opera Mini configured in socket mode... like I said .. http would not work. I assume they default "unknown" phones to WAP. So if you have a smartphone and are having problems with browsing with stock browser ...

This did not fix the APN issue. I still must use the pageplus apn file and restore it after every reboot or I cannot send MMS messages ...I have provided what is default on my phone ... after activation ? vs. what I enable to get MMS to work

3G - Same issue .. it will not stay connected in hybrid or evdo only mode

Market- Same issue I must use market enabler to emulate the US carrier code I am on after every reload .. the "emulate on boot feature" does not work !

As a side comment .. this is my 14th time attempting to correctly enter the different "spam protection code" ...

do you mean stock roms do not always wipe my internal storage? do you know which one does, which one doesn't? or is it all by chance?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoonCocoon:
Go to check development threads. Wipe version will normally only wipe your root partition.

Generally speaking, if you do it right, your internal sdcard (emmc) will not be touched. You'll only lose your user apps, game progresses and system settings, but not your music, movies, photos, documents, etc.

The problem is that if you don't wipe system settings, your phone is still locked.

I think the best way is still try to retrieve your google password.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blk_jack:
..overvolt?

Anyway undervolting and CPU speed can definitely cause reboots. Some phones can't go beyond 1.2GHz and I know undervolting can cause instability when brought down too low.

My phone's upper limit is also at 1.4GHz, runs stable on it, but haven't really felt the need for that. One thing that comes to mind is that your lower limit is pretty high. What governor do you use? Do you have a profile for screen off and what's the frequency fork there?

I would assume that with that setup the phone gets pretty heated, which could very easily cause random reboots. Any idea what temperature it usually runs on?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:
I don't know what card you have. Different banks have different accounts for under 18's & with that different cards with different restrictions. And yes what you have would be a debit card, but presumably one with restrictions because of your age. I access the UK Google Play Shop with a debit card but I'm an adult so have no restrictions on it. And I can use it in all the same places that a credit card is accepted.

Without knowing what account you have I can't know. But I'd say it looks doubtful. Unless you can get your parents to get one of those prepaid cards & load it with some money for you. I don't know if that would work.

Australia Post do Load&Go

http://auspost.com.au/personal/loadandgo-reloadable-prepaid-visa-card.html

Debit is likely not the same as your eftpos access card. However, if you look at the requirements for applying for a debit card on CWB's site, you'll see you only need to be 16, likely the same for other banks. You can sign up for a debit card online, and they mail it to you in a few days.

I have a card through ANZ and it works. Does it have a Visa or MasterCard logo? I remember there were some EFTPOS cards that worked more like ATM cards than credit cards. I had one through Commonwealth bank but that was back in the late 90s. I thought they had all been changed to work more like credit cards. Might be a restriction on your account.

Just go buy a Visa or MC debit card and put some money on it. That might be easier.
