It does'nt seems to have any error, but is it ok to proceed with the RUU, even there's a lot of "The system cannot find the path specified" in the post???

And also, my phone does not reboot into bootloader just like the HTC Incredible S in the YouTube link...

My phone is stock rom ,never unlocked on HTCDev, not rooted, 1 year old:

this one really helped me in rooting and gaining s off.

first two times the noverbose script did not work

third time it worked like a charm
[HTC Incredible S] vinyplayer:
When i'm at step 4. Flash a recovery, i get stuck.

I go into fastboot usb, then i type: "fastboot devices", and it shows my serial.

Then i type: "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivo.img" and it stays at: Writing 'recovery'...

And my phone is stuck too.

What can i do?
[HTC Incredible S] prunzzz:
see

you dont need recovery to sOFF

so first follow from step7

once you are sOFF now rename recovery.zip as PG32IMG

put it on sdcard

get into bootloader

it should automatically flash it

now that you have a custom recovery flash superuser frome it to get root

hit thanks if i helped you
[HTC Incredible S] Leo_83:
Sorry for the totally noob question but how do you check which version of hboot you have on the phone?
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Reboot to bootloader. (dont ask how, its in the guide )
[HTC Incredible S] Leo_83:
When I run step 8 and run RRU I got error message 155... later in recovery process the RRU-installer/updater says this is because I have used the incorrect RRU and prompts me to download the correct one, which I believe I allready have.

RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
The script may not have completed correctly, because your bootloader is still UNLOCKED. That is why you are getting the Error 155. You need to RELOCK the bootloader and try running the RUU again. You do this in FASTBOOT USB mode by entering the command:

fastboot oem relock

Before you type that command, you might want to enter the following command:

fastboot getvar all

And look at the value "version-main". If the value is 2.00.0000, then script was able to prepare the phone to accept this RUU. If the value is not 2.00.0000, then the script did not work and you need to run it again.
[HTC Incredible S] Leo_83:
Wait I'm confused, at the end of step 7 it says

"In the bootloader>fastboot, check to see if the misc_version worked, type:

fastboot getvar version-main

If it returns

version-main: 1.00.000.01

then you are good to go"

So I did this after running the script and it said version-main: 2.00.0000 which I thought ment that the scripted failed considering

"If it returns

version-main: 1.00.000.01

then you are good to go"

So which is it, am I ready to go when it is on version-main: 1.00.000.01 or 2.00.0000?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
The script itself sets the value to 2.00.0000. I'm not sure where the 1.00.000.01 came from.

Since your value is 2.00.0000 you are good to go. Just relock the bootloader and then run the RUU.

After that you can go to http://revolutionary.io and gain S-OFF.
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Those steps were ONLY for those whose scripts would not work but that would probably be extremely rare. The script will 99% of the time work. If you push the misc_version manually and stuff, ud get version_main 1.00.000.01.

If the script ran correctly, the version main should have been 2.00.0000.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Thanks. I went back and read the procedure and saw that those were manual steps only if the script didn't work. I can see how someone browsing through the steps could be confused.
[HTC Incredible S] c3vzn:
I get this error when trying to complete step 8. I'm sure I've downloaded the correct RUU, I chose the global one because my device is Australian. Also my bootloader says relocked.

EDIT: Got it to work. Redid the previous step for the 3rd time.
[HTC Incredible S] mr_tony:
I tried to take all the steps, unfortunately Cyagenmode screen keeps loading and doesn't goes further.

I get stuck at the Non verbose script (only the 1st question pops up and then reboots) and RUU give error 155. I'm a little stuck and slowly getting crazy to finding the solution.

Hopefully somebody could help me what I'm doing wrong and how to solve the problems/error?:(

[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
You are still S-ON so you need to flash the boot.img (instructions in guide). The boot.img is inside the ROM.zip so extract it to your platforms-tools folder in the ADB folder.

Also can you tell me how you ran the script like go through all you can in Nonverbose's script and printscreen what you see to here?
[HTC Incredible S] H.e.S.a.M:
finally i install blackrose 2.00003 i have 2.0002 already but always i want uptodate :P
[HTC Incredible S] mickertslovakia:
how to do your tutorial when im connecting my htc IncS to my pc via usb chord it says "USB not recognized"
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Fix the problem first. As this could be quite a lot of things, I would suggest turning to Google to solve this problem.
[HTC Incredible S] Mr909:
u said it is very easy to unlock bootloader however im stuck on selecting htc device there are so many incredible s such as incredible s WWE, Asia WWE, smart toon, Arabic etc. i have no clue what so ever which one i have to select. sorry if its annoying question.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
It is not really necessary to pick the right device. The procedure is the same for all IncS. The procedure will work because it uses information that your phone generates to unlock it.
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Like tpbklake says, its not necessary to pick the right device. But just for knowledge purposes, those are the regions that the incredible S exists in. WWE would be worlwide (like in general). Asia WWE is those in Asia. Arabic would be in the Middle East or so.
[HTC Incredible S] Mr909:
im stuck again this time waiting for devices after i put command fastboot ome get_identifier_token. i checked few guides but nothing worked. usb debugging is on, htc sync installed and after uninstall it again but not drivers. any idea what mi missing?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
What version of Windows are you using? Is this a newer PC that has USB 3.0 ports?

Are you entering this command with the phone booted to the HBOOT menu? What version of the HBOOT do you have?
[HTC Incredible S] Mr909:
im using windows 7,my laptop has one 3.0 port but i checked on the other port as well. hboot version is 2.02 but i dont get what is this mean phone booted to the HBOOT menu?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Power the phone off and then hold down the Volume Down Key and then press the Power Key.

That will take you to the White HBOOT screen. Then connect your phone to the computer and try entering the FASTBOOT OEM command.
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Power Down. Turn it back on except hold both volume-down and power button at the same time. Next, as soon as bootloader is finished loading, press power once (which should bring you to Fasboot: Check by seeing if it says FASTBOOT highlighted in red). Then enter the commands.

Note: When tbpklake says HBOOT, its the equivalent of bootloader.
[HTC Incredible S] Mr909:
i did what u said and when i enter the command nothing happens except "waiting for device"
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
On the white bootloader screen, once you plug the phone in you should see a line change to FASTBOOT USB. If the line only stays at FASTBOOT, then you have a driven or USB cable issue.

Please review the instructions at HTCDEV.com and make sure you are following them completely. They are very complete!
[HTC Incredible S] Mr909:
on the white bootloader screen fastboot doesnt change to fastboot usb itself but it changes to fastboot usb when i press volume down or up to change option and select fastboot again. i connected my phone many times and transfer data so i dont think so its a drivers issue
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
OK, once it changes to FASTBOOT USB on the bootloader screen, type the following command on the PC in the command window:

FASTBOOT DEVICES

and it should respond with your serial number.

Are you running the command window on the PC as an administrator?
[HTC Incredible S] Mr909:
yes im using as an administrator. i put the command fastboot devices on c:it not recognized as internal or external so use command c:android> and nothing happens and command prompt back c:android>

and after that i tried again fastboot ome command and again same problem

i download adt-bundle about 426 mb is the right file? and then i use sdk manager and use android sdk tools and android sdk platform tools as shown in pic. and after that i dont know where the file goes but i found these from sdk-platform tools. i was doing right or wrong? i already gave u a lot of trouble sorry for that mate
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
The Downgrade kit should have the adb.exe and fastboot.exe also, so you might open your command windows to the Downgrade kit directory and try using that version of fastboot.exe.
[HTC Incredible S] Mr909:
i used files from downgrade kit as u said and end up with it. and now what?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Well the command you need to type is:

fastboot oem get_identifier_token

I originally though you had a typo in your posting, but it turns out you are typing the command wrong.
[HTC Incredible S] Mr909:
i did type wrong command last time but not all the time,i checked very closely u can see it in fig 1 my command window and with guide. there is some thing wrong in the command i think because what ever i type its says same thing "waiting for devices" see fig 2.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Please show the output of the command:

fastboot devices

If it returns a blank or empty line, then you still have an issue with the drivers, your USB port or the cable.
[HTC Incredible S] Mr909:
u were right it was the drivers issue, thanks for ur help.may be i'll need some help in next steps as well. regards
[HTC Incredible S] zzkonzz:
need help

I decided to root my HTC is today using the guide on the fist post.

I unlocked the Bootloader via HTC.

I flashed cwm recovery and flashed superuser. All good.

Phone rooted and able to reboot into my rom and recovery.

Did a nandroid backup- all good.

Ran nonverbose script.seemed ok.

Ran the RUU- PC window says sending. waited 1/2hour- nothing.

Pulled battery -tried reboot- Phone stuck on white HTC screen.

Seems I have no Rom installed and although Recovery shows in the list under Fastboot I cant access recovery either.

Hboot now shows version 1.13.0000. but with "security warning"in pink where it used to say "unlocked"

VIVO PVT SHIP S-ON RL.

Have tried all steps from the begining and individually.

Have tried reflashing recovery and Superuser- No good.

Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Incredible S] Mr909:
at the moment im stuck on step 8 run ruu. i tried many times and result was the same every time got error 170 (usb connection error). i google it and tried every thing what i can but no success . my phone is running cm10.1. im running out of idea now please help me with issue please. regards
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
With HBOOT 1.13 you should be able to run the RUU. Just boot up the phone and leave it and wherever it gets stuck. Then run the RUU. If you get an error, please report the error code.

Are you absolutely sure your USB port on your computer, your USB cable, as well as the USB port on your phone is fully fucntional? Sometimes, you may just have to run the RUU multiple times.

Ok then. Follow post 4 from this link:

Except instead of PB99IMG, it should be PG32IMG. Place on root of SD card, and then reboot to bootloader on your phone. If anything else goes wrong, please report back.

Ok so I should probably have asked you for this information a lot earlier so kudos to you for bringing this here. :good:

Please read more CAREFULLY because I clearly labelled the steps with the downgrade script and running the RUU as mandatory ONLY if you had an HBOOT higher than 1.13.

Seeing as running the RUU would be pointless, try booting into bootloader and then run Revolutionary to gain S-OFF

I think my Bootloader got corrupted when I first ran RUU. as "fastboot devices" shows my phone ID, "fastboot getvar all" works. RUU sees my device. Is there a way to fastboot a Bootloader?via PC. I can only access the Bootloader screen on my phone.

I did not have Hboot 1.3 after running nonverbose script. I have it now after an Unsuccessful RUUinstall which left my phone broken.

Relock bootloader.
[HTC Incredible S] Mr909:
i dont know why i need to relock bootloader it just has been unlocked in step 3. any way i did what u said now i got 140 error (bootloader version error) now what next??any idea.and by the way how many kind or error are there?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
You first need to unlock so that you can flash a custom recovery and root the system. Then when you run nonverbose's script to prepare your phone to receive a downgraded RUU. It sounds like you had an issue running the downgrade script successfully. The script should have set your main-version to a value 2.00.000.0.

The fact that you received an error 140 when running the RUU indicates that this value may not have been changed successfully.

Place your phone into FASTBOOT USB mode and run the following command:

fastboot getvar all

and then post the results. You can remove your device serial number and imei id in your posting.
[HTC Incredible S] Mr909:
here is the result.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
OK, thanks. In looking at the values, your version-main value did not get changed when running the script since it is still 4.10.405.1.

The script should have changed this to 2.00.000.0 or if you read carefully, there are manually steps you can run that will change it also. I suggest you go back and read those steps and give that a try.

Of course, you will need to unlock your bootloader again if you no longer have CWM or root.
[HTC Incredible S] Mr909:
i tried but failed. after i enter command adb.exe shell. "permission denied" but i continued. here is all procedure please check it.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes, the current ROM you have installed is not rooted properly, so if the "su" command does not take you to a # prompt, then the rest of the procedure will not work.

What ROM do you currently have installed?
[HTC Incredible S] Mr909:
currently cm10.1
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
OK, so when you enter the "su" command in the adb shell, did you get any prompt on the phone to allow root access?
[HTC Incredible S] Mr909:
permission denied and again back to $
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
In developer settings, did u check Root Access: Apps and ADB ????
[HTC Incredible S] Mr909:
its worked, but now im in new problem after revolutionary.exe command prompt waiting for devices. any clue

Upgrade after downgrade

hi,

thanks for all the effort you've put in in creating this thread. It was a big big help for a noob like me :laugh:. I've done everything to the word and have successfully been able to flash the cyanogen rom. However, now I need to flash a rom which uses 4.x.x ver of android instead of 2.x.x If you could please guide me how to do that as well. (The ROM that I'm now trying to install is [ROM][17 MAY 13][JB 4.2.2] PACman v22.2.0 Test Build #671 | Built from source! )

Thanks again for your help and looking forward to your reply.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
The procedure for flashing a custom ROM is the same as you used for CM. You download or copy the custom ROM's zip file to your SD Card and then flash it in recovery mode.

If you read the original post of the ROM you are attempting to flash, there are usually specific instructions on how to flash, such as Full Wipe/System Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, etc. BE SURE TO READ THESE TO AVOID PROBLEMS. The authors have placed them there for a reason.
