Btw tq
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
err no. Nonverbose is an xda member lol. His thread should be stickied (at the top of the first page or so)
[HTC Incredible S] acidglory:
Lol...sory
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes, the sticky post by nonverbose has the downgrade script to prepare your IncS for running Revolutionary to gain S-OFF.

If you don't gain S-OFF, then you will need to manually flash a ROM's boot.img file everytime you flash a new ROM.

Error 155

When i run ruu i got error 155, please help
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Error 155: You need to relock your bootloader before you can run the RUU.

Boot into FASTBOOT USB mode and enter the following:

fastboot oem lock
[HTC Incredible S] vuvkar:
after error 155, i got error 140, bootloader version error
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Then the downgrade script did not run correctly. The downgrade process will change your phone's main-version to a value of 2.00.0000 so that you can run a GB RUU. If you are getting an error 140, then that means that the main-version was not changed.

Re-run the downgrade script and post your results. Also, if you could post the result of running the following command in FASTBOOT USB mode:

fastboot getvar all

You can exclude your serial number and IMEI id

I jast read what's rooting it's my 1st post on xda I am very new to this.. I was trying to download ClockWorkMod 5.0 something from given link but I can't able to download.. is it .Apk file ?

[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
ClockworkMod is a custom recovery for the IncS that will allow you to install custom ROMs. You flash the recovery image in FASTBOOT USB mode. It is not install able as an .apk

One more help.. I read that cyanogenmod 7.2 is based on ICS OR JB? I read somewhere that it's ICS build is that true I want to install bug less 4.1 or 4.2.. Please help.. Thanx
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
CM7.2 is Gingerbread 2.3.7. ICS AOSP wasn't really made public. It was made by a developer here who isn't really with us per se. There are multiple Jellybean ROMs in the Android Development Session and all of them have bugs, here and there.
[HTC Incredible S] lovemax.k:
:confused: There is no single Bug less 4.1 rom :eek:?

I am not a geek or developer I jast started reading how to unlock and rooting I thought now we have latest android 4.3 so custom 4.1 will be available there... I was wrong :(
[HTC Incredible S] LamboBull:
I dont know what the other guy was talking about, but CyanVIVO (CM10) is bugless, and CyanVIVO 10.1 is too (to my knowledge). CyanVIVO 10.2 is bugged but is being fixed.

Sent from one of the few remaining Incredible S'
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Whoops I think I'm getting CM10.2 mixed up. All the English work from school is screwing my brain up -_-

Ok so yea after taking a good luck I got that I found:

Never really like CyanVivoX for some reason. Emulators seemed to lag :p (so basically its bugless)

And CM10.1 is pretty much bugless. Just a few quirks here and there (like settings is really laggy/slow although that's a CM side issue and not much to be done on our side).

I haven't been doing much flashing lately. I've had CM10.2 on my phone for some time and haven't changed it for some time so I kinda forgot what ROMs had what bugs :p . School you know -_-
[HTC Incredible S] lovemax.k:
Thanx ..what Rom do you have on your phone ? And please suggest me should I install 10.1 is that stable enough ? And if it is stable why it is not in CM website ? Please provide me download link for that ..sorry I am asking so many things but please help me out.
[HTC Incredible S] pinkyponku:
you can find it in development section, CM 10.1 by szezso
[HTC Incredible S] LamboBull:
You can get CM10.1 in development section.. It is not on CM website because it is unofficial, meaning it is not officially supported by Cyanogenmod. This is because our phone is too old. Anyways, CM10.1 is really smooth as I have been using it for ageesss before CM10.2(Which I used for a bit).. I am currently using SVHD just for a change, but I may switch back to CM.

Press "thanks" if I helped you out!
[HTC Incredible S] lovemax.k:
Thanx looking forward for this :)

Ya it helped me to understand..today I just unlocked my phone through HTC dev website now I'll root and get super user. I think I need more R&D on roms i'll doing that ..just tell me if I installed a Rom and there are some bugs ..if someone has fixed that bug how should we get that update? Is that like how we go in settings and check for update?:confused:
[HTC Incredible S] pinkyponku:
For most of ROMs You have to monitor respective thread in this forum, some ROMs do have built-in option to check updates like we have in stock but not all.
[HTC Incredible S] LamboBull:
No you will have to manually check for updates by checking the thread.

Help ...The Link given for RUU file..when i gone to download the name of the file is "RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE" ...now my phone is running official ICS ...is this ok ? or i have to search RUU for ICS ?:confused:
[HTC Incredible S] mafie:
Yes that shudn't be a problemo..:silly::silly:

Well the below goes if you have to flash a new ROM under the development thread..

As far as you are HTC Dev unlocked. your should be S-ON (you could find this in HBOOT). However when you flash any ROM, you have to manually boot using the fastboot command (fastboot flash boot boot.img). These image could be found in the zip file when you download a ROM.

You can flash most of the ROMS which you can find in the development section...well , choice is yours here..:p:p
[HTC Incredible S] lovemax.k:
i want to flash this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2245794

so will i flash this rom by s-on or by s-off ? it may be silly asking you but its the fear of bricking the phone...:D
[HTC Incredible S] mafie:
It's CM10.1 bro. It's basically a gud ROM by szezso.. you can obviously flash.. :D:D

see the logic is simple. You gotta flash boot. Img manually if you are S-On. It's not required if you are S -off.

You can get s on and off info from your HBoot as I told you in my earlier reply..

Now let's Get your rom ~~~

Download the rom and google apps. Get into recovery wipe all except your SD

and flash rom first and then google apps.. and there you go :):) make sure you wait for sometime as it boots for the first time ..

Remember about s ~ on and off.. it's simple..

Just make sure you download the rom under incredible s development section only and no where else as you are using it..

[HTC Incredible S] lovemax.k:
I know if I have s-on I have to flash boot.img manually and if s off its not required.. i also read somewhere if we have s-on we have to manually flash kernel..?? And the 2nd thing what I want to ask what advantage I will get if I do s off?
[HTC Incredible S] mafie:
Having S-ON you have to flash all manually :p

As far as i know. With S-Off you can flash radios, flashing kernels would be lot easier. Flash ROM's without booting manually.. Change partitions.. etc..

Ok. In Detail -

S-OFF means you have complete control of the phone. Security off. Do whatever you want from whatever mode you want.

HTC does not really care if you get S-OFF on your phone, but the carriers do. An S-OFF phone means you have access to write new radio firmware into the device. HTC is required by their agreements with the carriers to do what they can to prevent users from being able to install firmware that could be potentially disruptive to the towers, or prevent the carrier from accessing your device without your knowledge, which may be required by the government or a warrant.

Every new software update that the carrier pushes will contain new code by HTC to attempt to prevent you from getting S-OFF.

An S-OFF phone has no restrictions on what you write, so you could wipe the kernel, bootloader, and everything out and be stuck with a phone with no operating system and no way to do anything.

An S-OFF phone can show that it still has a locked bootloader, although recovery will treat the phone as though it is unlocked. Having S-OFF does not mean you have root, although you can flash a ROM with root. You can also flash kernels and splash screens directly from recovery without any additional methods required.

S-OFF exploits are almost universally patched from version to version, and unless you’re really paranoid about HTCDev voiding your warranty, it’s not worth waiting for. Unlock via HTCDev, and get S-OFF later when it’s available.

An S-OFF phone that’s updated to a new software version that patches the exploit used to obtain S-OFF generally will not re-enable security on that phone. You should still be S-OFF.
[HTC Incredible S] lovemax.k:
Thanx a lot you given me a lot of knowledge:thumbup:. I will try with keeping s-on only.. I already unlocked and rooted my phone now I have to jast wipe data, wipe partion and all.. Then flash the rom g apps them kernel and then manually flash boot.img in fast boot USB mode right?

[HTC Incredible S] lovemax.k:
You forget to flash boot.img manually :D I have s-on unless I ll stuck on boot screen.. and I read everywhere watched videos they told or I read that before flashing rom you have to wipe cache + Dalivk. But you are telling with this confidence I think step may vary..

Sent from my HTC Incredible S
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Before flashing ROM, wipe data, cache, and dalvik. not just cache and dalvik.

Switching from ROM to ROM is really tedious. The way i switch is:

1. Backup apps via Titanium Backup

2. Back up SMS

3. Wipe everything

4. Flash ROM

5. Flash GApps

6. Flash boot.img if u are S-ON

7. Restore apps via Titanium

8. restore SMS

Everything takes me like 20-30 minutes... so some people just wanna be lazy and dirty flash.

Ok. Error 155 comes from an unlocked bootloader.

Error 131 comes from not having gold card (Customer ID error i think).

Rerun Nonverbose's script and post the output of the script. Like screenshot the whole thing and attach it or something.

Unlock your bootloader again and then run nonverbose's script. Post the output of the script here so that we can see if everything ran properly.
[HTC Incredible S] Whosat:
I can't seem to enter the bootloader screen.

Am on 4.10.707.1, is there a difference?

I just got a second hand Incredible S and am attempting to install custom roms on it. Unfortunately, the procedure seems quite tedious and there doesn't seem to be a guide which explains what each step does.

May I know

1) What is S-Off?

2) What is the purpose of unlocking the bootloader?

3) Blackrose? Revolutionary?

4) How to check HBOOT version? I can't enter the bootloader screen by pressing vol down and power when the phone is off (boots straight into sense)
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
1. S-OFF is a removal on restrictions. If i remember correctly, even when you unlock the bootloader, a partition remains locked. S-OFF is used to gain access to that partition. I don't know exact details for this.

2. If you're gonna root the phone, that's the first step. I think it might be to access recovery and whatnot.

3. Revolutionary is basically a modified HBOOT. It puts the S-OFF flag in the bootloader. Once again, I don't know the exact details although I imagine not all too many people would know exactly how this works. Maybe it pushes some sort of master key root or something :confused:

4. Disable fast-boot. I don't remember where it is in the settings on Sense 3.6 but try checking "Battery" ;)
[HTC Incredible S] lovemax.k:
1. S-OFF means security off. If you done with this Then you can do anything you want change the radio. You don't have to flash boot.img manually and same for kernels. It simply means you have full access to any part of your phone there is no restrictions or security left.

2. Unlocking bootloader allows you to install costume roms.

3. BlackRose is a advanced hboot and it requires for some roms, not for all roms. Revolutionary is for gaining s-off.

4. Go in Settings >Power then check the fast boot option. If you are not getting hboot option then it is checked. Make sure that is unchecked. And then you switch off and try volume down and power key.

I have given the information up to my knowledge. It may be wrong in case :p:D
[HTC Incredible S] Whosat:
I see! That clarifies things a lot! Thanks [MENTION=5421821]lovemax.k[/MENTION] & [MENTION=5049102]072665995[/MENTION]

I am looking to flash in the fastest performing custom Rom to this phone, and also one with good audio performance (will be using it in a car primarily for audio). That also means I do not care much for battery performance as it will be plugged in all the time.

I read that the Android Revolution HD is fast and stable and am planning on using it. Would I need Blackrose and the Kangaroo kernel?
[HTC Incredible S] lovemax.k:
Yes you need blackrose for Revolution HD
[HTC Incredible S] Whosat:
Great, thanks! Will be trying it out soon
[HTC Incredible S] lovemax.k:
Have a 1st happy flashing :):beer:
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
There have been instances where people have flashed android revolution hd with just revolutionary HBOOT and even S–ON, but all the same, id recommend having Blackrose HBOOT just to be on the safe side.

Once again, having kangaroo kernel is not a requirement but highly recommend. Based on my own past experiences, kangaroo kernel has been very stable and smooth. So once again, I highly recommend the use of it. Make sure to thank poondog in the kernel thread. :)
