[HTC Incredible S] jpandya:
Downgrade of HBOOT fails

Thanks for your reply.

I downloaded the new android sdk, downloaded adb usb drivers from google and then changed "android_winusb.inf" to put the entry of my IncS device ID.

Here is the log while creating goldcard.

Incredible S Main version downgrade toolkit v3.4.1 by Nonverbose

This script will:

------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) Boot using an unsecured kernel**

(2) Apply a temp root using the tacoroot exploit**

(3) Downgrade your phones version-main using misc_version

(4) Turn your phones SDcard into a Goldcard**

**(if required)

------------------------------------------------------------------

Before u begin:

------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) If you are on Official HTC ICS update you MUST have an

UNLOCKED bootloader to use this script.

(2) backup everything you don't want to lose

(phone storage and SDcard)

(3) make sure u have installed adb drivers for ur device

(4) enable "USB DEBUGGING"

from (Menu\Settings\Applications\Development)

(5) enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES"

from (Menu\Settings\Applications)

(6) connect USB cable to PHONE and then connect to PC

version-main: 2.00.000.0

If the version-main returns 2.00.000.0 you should be

able to run the RUU downgrade. If it does not, answer n to the

unlocked bootloader prompt no matter what.

Do you have an unlocked bootloader from htcdev.com?

y OR n:y

(bootloader) Lock successfully...

FAILED (status read failed (Unknown error))

finished. total time: 0.406s

Note: run the RUU in fastboot mode

If all steps were completed without error,

you should be ready to run the RUU downgrade

Press any key to continue . . .

After this, I ran the RUU and it failed with 171 error.

What does that FAILED means during "runme.cmd" before I ran RUU ?

What should I do now ?

I have uninstalled HTC Drivers. HTC Sync is still there.

I am back to CM7 with gingerbread.
