Solved , i just noticed my super user version was Superuser-3.0.7 , and i changed it to 3.1.3

and i did the whole process from start , and every thing worked fine :D

it may help someone else as well...

now i'm installing cyanogen mod 7 , and its tprocessing too long for the first boot...:confused:
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
First boots always take a long time. Just let it sit for about 5 minutes. If it doesn't boot in 5 minutes, report back on exactly which part of booting you are stuck on. ie never ending boot animation or stuck on splash screen
[HTC Incredible S] Omid_h70:
it stucked ,never ending animation...it's been more than five minutes....about 20 minutes or more...

[HTC Incredible S] Poochini:
Yeah, It`s strange :) But my good friend, open his drawer and found his previous phone :) He used it twice, and forgot about it. Back to the topic.

So, I need to do all steps, to point 9. Use Revolutionary to gain S-OFF

Yes? For now, I need only root. But who knows, maybe in next week some great rom :)

BTW: Where I can find ARHD.zip?

Regards and thank you dor reply!

[HTC Incredible S] LamboBull:
Yea HTC IncS was and still is Amazing.

lel the .zip is not literally called ARHD.zip, but in essence you just follow these steps.

1. Go to the first page of the ARHD thread and download the *.zip file.

2. Reboot to recovery

3. Wipe Everything except sd card.

4. Install Rom

5. Reboot and Enjoy (You should be rooted now)

BTW: Can I use my HTC with no problem if I will stop on this step? I will be happy if root will be made. But in other, I cann`t be wait for REvolution 6 :)

Thank you a lot!
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Is it the RUU you got in nonverbose's thread? (nonverbose is an xda user)

If it is, and the script rn fine, then everything should be good and RUU should have went fine. If not, report what the RUU error was.
[HTC Incredible S] Poochini:
Hello

Yes, it`s from nonverbose's thread. I think that i`ve got problem with script. I go back, to 3. Unlock Bootloader, and use script one more time. About RUU, I use this one: http://d-h.st/vgw

It really helps if you spend some time and read the thread. Many who have already done this procedure have asked similar questions or had similar problems and you can usually find some of your answers there or know what to do when/if you do run into difficulties.

I recall skipping back and forth between this thread, and the ones credited in the OP before I went S-off, Blackrose on my phone.

I've rooted some other phones using root apps and others but this particular one is kinda confusing

I read through the guide, went to HTC Dev but there's no bootloader unlock for my carrier (Optus)

issues while following the procedure

I followed the steps for rooting the phone till step5. it went good. i din take a backup of the stock ROM and while installing the super user in recovery mode by mistake installed the CM ROM and flashed the kernel and recovery. ADB is not working but fastboot is working from pc. after installing the ROM.zip from recovery mode instead of turning on it shows a black screen. my phone is unlocked, not rooted, not able to turn on USB debugger mode as no OS is present. Please help me to load os and boot my phone.

Thanks in Advance!
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
First of all remove the entire op from your post. I don't enjoy scrolling through it and I'm sure a lot of other people don't either.

Second, go to recovery via bootloader and install a ROM that you currently have on your sd card. Then flash boot.img in fastboot mode. And reboot. Should be good to go.

RUU Update Failing

Thanks for such detailed instructions in the original thread. I was trying to follow the same steps for my Official ICS HTC incredible S. I successfully got to the step where I have changed the phone version main to 1.00.000.0 and phone is unlocked with HTCDev.

But while running the RUU as specified by you, the RUU downgrade is failing. It says it can't use the software to update ROM, please use different software (or something like that). Also I see that in the installation, it shows current version as 4.12.720.1 which I don't know if it's correct.

Please help!!! I am stuck in the middle.

[Update] It's working now. I had actually used the manual command line instructions to change the phone version. But that doesn't lock the bootloader back. And I found out later from the forum that the bootloader needs to be in a relocked state to install new ROM. SO I used the script again and it worked./

Another easier way would have been to run the the command fastboot oem lock to lock the bootloader but rerunning the script is fine :)

Can you tell me which error code it is from when you run the RUU?

Also nobody is on call to answer your questions. I understand being stuck at this process renders your device useless but just wait a while and someone will come around and answer the question. :cool:
[HTC Incredible S] sumtata:
I also used the same RUU which you have pointed out. Just make sure while installing that RUU that the current version shown while doing this process is 2.00000... something and not higher. Because it should usually show you that your current version is lower than what you are trying to upgrade it to which is 2.3.xxxx.

Please share snapshots of each step of the install so that either me or someone else can help.

The ROM update Utility cannot update your Android phone.

Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
OK, I give you this method. It works but I take no responsibility if your device is broken. 1st, start the RUU application and wait for some moment after you launched it. Don't connect your phone. Then After the RUU popped up, click next, it maybe take some time, then go to the Drive your windows or OS is installed and then search for a file called "ROM.zip". After you found it, rename it to PG32IMG. Place the file in the root of your SD card and then reboot to boot loader, It searches for the file in HBOOT and then asks if you want to install the update package. Remember, You should have the right RUU file! If your file is wrong under any conditions, your device will be hard broken cause of wrong Radio file. If you are sure about the RUU being for your device, do the method. :good:
[HTC Incredible S] IBootU:
My brain is getting stars..

First of all.. it's great and the person who did this deserve an applause.

However after reading the content till Point 5, my brains explodes as i continue.

There're are a few points written in redundant. Some should not be indicated there because user do not need to be spoonfed to an extend that they only know how to click download and that's it. If you tries to lump all those guide into one massive chunk, users will be clouded and got misleaded.

Line 6 onwards it refers to backup.

Line7 it started with this nonverbose's script.

8.Runs RUU comes into play. *Wasnt this explain on the link you provided* ?

9 Use revolutionary to s-off "I've no idea what's in here"

10 Flash custom ROM

11. Install Blackrose *we flash rom and if we wanted extra features , we're advise to flash to custom bootloader blackrose. If it clashes with custom rom we need to reinstall back the rom*

It's like having multiple exit sign with every turning corners and junctions in a massive shopping carpark. Overly detailed can cloud directions and objectives.

[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
SO what's wrong with different radios ._. you are aware that the radio can change from software upgrade right?

With regards to error 131, it means a goldcard wasn't successfully made. Rerun the script or find another tool that will make a goldcard.
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
The method I told you is the one I've been using for 2 years. I haven't run an RUU in like ever, I use MS W8.1 and fastboot drivers don't work on it so, I did the bootloader flash method by the PG32IMG for the last two years(Right after installing MS W8). It has worked since then with no issues. As the other friend said, radio can be upgraded or downgraded by using different RUUs. All you need to do is using the method I gave you. Just remember one point: Use the RUU that is made for your phone! It doesn't matter if it is GB or ICS, it just has to be your phone's. If it isn't, then your phone is broken.(Probably a hard break)
[HTC Incredible S] pritish sahoo:

[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Error 155 is the result of running an RUU with an unlocked bootloader. Check again if you bootloader is actually relocked. If not, then run the fastboot command "fastboot oem lock" to lock bootloader.

how i know that goldcard successfully made.???

nd how to select suitable ruu...what is the requirements should i see and how.???

sir is radio version effect in choosing RUU or not.????
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
You'll know goldcard was made successfully when you can run the RUU without Error 131.

Radio version of RUU does not impact the process.

Need help HTC paperweight

Hey Guys,

Have a mega problem with my HTC... Tried to root and generally play with the device in an effort to clean the device up and get ride of my providers rom (pre installed junk). While following all the steps at the beginning of this thread, I definitely stuffed something up and now had bricked my HTC Incredible S. This is basically what happens (in a nut shell):

Phone will not connect via adb at all! when I type command "adb devices" I get nothing.

I've read a heap of other articles that talk about update this and that but all refer to activating "USB Debugging". Problem is that my phone will not load at all and is permanently stuck at the "HTC logo" screen (White screen).

Sending updates via downloaded files such as (RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed.exe) does not help . When launching the executable, the pop ups appear and even though it indicates a connection to the phone, when the "sending" process commences it just stays at this screen until the phone battery is drained dead.

I have tried running ROM's from zip files via the recovery which seem to install OK however upon reboot back to the stuck HTC screen with no progress...

Please help as I have spend the last 3 days reading articles and instructions and from XDA and other sources to no success.

Not sure what to do now?

BTW info in Bootloader is as follows:

I'll just take a guess and say that perhaps, you forgot to flash the boot.img through fastboot which is why you stay at the white screen with the HTC logo. You will need to do this everytime you flash a new ROM since you are still S-ON.
