erhm well do you got a "XTC-Clip Flex-PCB-SIM-Adapter"? if so u can try it ^^
[HTC Incredible S] nerdo:
I have neither, interested in both tho!

Wondering if this would work on IS, S-off then probably doing a dump that would perhaps give a better idea on how to tackle the task at hand!! I am no expert
[HTC Incredible S] Brumble:
Isnt motorolas bootloader encrypted, and the incredibles is just signed? Thus giving us more of a chance?

Sent from my Defy
[HTC Incredible S] trentonw:
Yeah moto is locked, super encrypted, and the keys are thrown away.... most likley not going to be cracked.....

Htc is just signed/locked...just like all the past htc devices, the IS will most likley be cracked....probly when the incredible 2 is released and there are alot more people working on it..
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Totally true, that's what were going for.
[HTC Incredible S] Ghisy:
@timbo007up, good luck then!! When is the Droid Incredible 2 released anyway?

Do you guys think you will be able to get root access AND s-off at the same time? Or is this a whole other story?
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
It's a little different, don't know if its at the same time possible, will doubt that. But currently I think that's our best bet. So: if we get perm root, s-off can be close, if we get s-off we will have everything.
[HTC Incredible S] Brumble:
I dont mean to go off-topic here, but if you guys crack / bypass this bootloader, should the same meathod work on the desire s ? I dont see why it wouldnt.

Sent from my Defy
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Depends on how we crack it, if we use an older firmware or something like that. It probably wont work on the desire S. However, if we crack it within the default Rom/hboot. Its very likely that the desire S, wildfire S, Pyramid and alike will be cracked the same way.
[HTC Incredible S] phoenixf:
I'm not very clear about the technique, but as I talked with a local IS retailer, he said he already got IS rooted and S-Off.

He said current root was still not perfect, and the approach is pretty complex.

please refer to this link for picture of unsigned ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1008911
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
If that guys wants to share how he did it, im very happy. But i think he received an test-device instead of an "normal" device and got that rooted ;)

But thats just my thoughts. But i he had, can u ask how he did it (or at least directions). Thanks in advance.
[HTC Incredible S] tanleiqu:
Yuhong, a chinese cracker, has confirmed he got rooted but still some problems there. no details.

he said he would release the rooted ROM as soon as the problem solved.

so, just wait:D
[HTC Incredible S] phoenixf:
Great News!! One hour ago, Yuhong annouced that he had successfully rooted IS, and he's working on the job guide now. hopefully we can get it tomorrow.
[HTC Incredible S] Nawake:
Great news ! I hope it will be safe for our IS ^ô^

The way is open, gather ppl and make us Dream Rom :]
[HTC Incredible S] Bantu85:
Superb news if true! Looking forward to reading and testing tomorrow.

Titanium backup and removal of HTC apps finally :D
[HTC Incredible S] Ghisy:
Ohhhh this is amazing news guys!!

I hope we'll be able to root the current ROM without flashing so I can backup all my apps and settings! Deodexed ROMs, we're waiting for you! :D
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Somehow im still a little sceptic. Hopefully a "soft" root, dont like to buy something to get the rooting done :(

But it is indeed great news! Hopefully we will see the guide soon :)
[HTC Incredible S] dori0214:
Wish for the best.

Thank prophet & many people here...
[HTC Incredible S] doublecheese:
If this is true, I plan to sell my DHD and get a new HTC EVO 3D instead...

Because there isn't a single thing my IS can't do, that DHD can... The reason I was keeping the DHD was for the rooted software only and I really believe that IS superior to DHD especially the screen crispiness and the richer colors...

Sorry for my Bad English ;)

Basically, the IS has been rooted.

I have been finished testing the rom.

Now i am having my rom splashing guide to be done perfectly.

Stay calm, I do have my works thanks!

The photos are basically some Apps running with the right from root.

Not gonna upload here
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
Ty, but yeah id like to see this happen
[HTC Incredible S] Nawake:
So, no news about since ?
[HTC Incredible S] Ghisy:
It's like the middle of the night in China, I guess we're gonna have to wait until tomorrow.
[HTC Incredible S] thiagofbrito:
It's time for the Hero becomes Incredible.

RIP my old loved Hero. You did such a great job.

I ordered IS since it has been rooted and I can not wait for its arrive.

Happy!
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
Seems like lots of Hero users have upgraded to IS, myself included. So far very much impressed with IS. But still miss the freedom of a rooted device.
[HTC Incredible S] Brucew0617:
Some days before I heard Incredible S is also locked by HTC, I feel so sad, but now, I should to say this is really a great news to me and every IS fans!:D
[HTC Incredible S] nikhil007mmus:
Waiting for the rooting guidee :) thankx to the chinese member who was successfull in this !!
[HTC Incredible S] smartsreenath:
i going to wait for until devps root IS.

any way i will keep my 1 year old legend.....:cool::cool::cool:
[HTC Incredible S] Kenzneth:
Still No news.

I would translate here if there are any:)
[HTC Incredible S] Bantu85:
OK so let's have a quick recap of the state of IS this morning:

We already do have temporary root but NO access to the system partition.

A user in China (HK?) has managed to root the device and has provided pictures showing it running SU.apk and some other apps that require root.

The main worries at the moment are:

a. It's a scam :( i hope not

b. It's a hardware based root (requiring specialist tools)

c. (my worry) instructions will get lost in translation and we'll all end up with shiny bricked IS's :D

Looking forward to trying it all out though :)

P.S.: Thanks to the rooting efforts of scotty, timbo and l0st.. and to OPzero for being a translator!
[HTC Incredible S] jkolner:
It would be great to have a "one click root" for the IncS as there now is for the Thunderbolt LINK...
[HTC Incredible S] lge73:
Q

If we have root means, we can flash custom ROMs, or we can only use some application (like titanium, mybackup etc) that working with root acces?

What about signed recovery and S-OFF?
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
The situation as it is at the moment, hopefully explained in a way everyone can understand:

The psneuter exploit allows us to get soft root access. What this means is although we can access root, we cannot write anything to the /system partition (such as busybox or the su app) because the NAND (the internal memory of the phone) is locked to read only access, unless your software is signed with HTC's private key. To get full root access we will have to unlock the NAND (which is know as geting S-OFF) and by virtue of getting the NAND unlock and achieving proper, full, permanent root access, we will also have access to the recovery parition, which means we will be able to install a custom recovery, and also install custom ROM's.

The problem that everyone is trying to solve at the moment is switching off that security lock, and this is what the guys over on the Chinese forums have claimed to have been able to do, but as of yet have not posted any proof. The images they have posted, could simply be of phones that have shipped with S-OFF (we have had access to one such phone) or they could just have been faked, or they could have used a piece of hardware to unlock it (such as an XTC clip) in which case it would be useless for everyone else.

I hope they have found a method of unlocking the NAND, but until they post replicable instructions I am not holding my breath.
[HTC Incredible S] kennykenneth:
for some reasons, i'm going to get a Incredible S to replace my DHD

well, right now, neither of us can root the IS, what we can do is wait.

i do believe "Yuhong" has rooted the IS, coz he's also the admin of xda.cn, i guess we all can trust the admin:)

Yuhong posted the thread on 27-03-2011, so hope we can give him more time to organize the guide:)

IS root is coming very soon ^.^
[HTC Incredible S] Bin4ry:
Hi there,

i'm a dev from X10 forums (someone here may know me) and interested in the IS, because of the fact its locked down :P

So if someone can bring me up a little bit in technical aspects it would be nice, because i don't have a device now.

My initial question is if someone could tell me WHY wpthis is not working anymore.

Is the emmc not doing its spindown <-> spinup procedure at all OR is it doing it and modem just resets writeprotection?

Also an dmesg output of wpthis on device would be helpful.

Can someone provide me the needed informations so that i can think of ways to test?

I saw in the kernel sources that htc try to reset emmc theirselves to test the WP. So there has to be a way to do it from kernel IMHO.

Regards

Bin4ry
[HTC Incredible S] Asmund:
Does this Chinese person speaking English? Or is the guide so hard to write? Or maybe he want to keep it to himself? Or just fake?
[HTC Incredible S] nikhil007mmus:
Patience guys !! W8 for it the rooting will be done soon :)
[HTC Incredible S] Ghisy:
It would be nice if the Chinese dude (forgot his nickname, sorry) would release his rooting method soon. Maybe he's busy but it shouldn't take that long for him to release it, right?
[HTC Incredible S] blackcab94:
Give the guy a chance!! lets be patient and just wait a wee bit longer.

I'd rather the root is tested and proved first, better than loads of bricks.:)
[HTC Incredible S] spacescreamer:
Looking fwd to this.

And .. shouldnt the title be edited a bit now ??

guys.We Do not wait YuHong. He is a merchant. Only in him will have to buy the IS ROOT. he did not share.so let us hacking.:(
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
Just as I suspected, probably using an xtc clip to S-OFF and charging for it. Oh well, we are still working on it!
[HTC Incredible S] timstanley1985:
I had a look and the XTC clip is £102. Why doesn't one of buy one and then charge, for example, £5 a time to unlock other peoples phones to recoup your costs. I'd definitely do it if I had an IS. Being stuck with sense is painful

Sent from my CyanogenMod Desire HD
[HTC Incredible S] BWA80:
Damn.. It sounded too good to be true. But all along I have only trusted in l0st.prophet and gang to get this HTC new monster rooted.

l0st.prophet is there any update on the rooting progress side??

..In you we trust :D
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
a) I don't have that kinda money to spare, I am saving for a wedding and a new house

b) Finding root is more about the challenge rather than the end goal for me

c) I happen to like sense, and wouldn't have bought the phone if I didn't, I'd have ended up with a Nexus S. I want root for apps like AdBlock, Titanium Backup, and for themeing and overclocking purposes.

Well we are hopefully making some progress, I was speaking to Bin4ry last night who was very helpful and gracious in lending his time and expertise, he is going to look over some things I sent him last night so you never know what a fresh pair of eyes will bring. We have been given access to the files on a phone which was shipped S-OFF which could provide some insight, and HTC releasing the kernel sources has also shed some light on why a few of the older exploits are no longer working. As far as I know timbo is still working with scotty, and I will try and pool the resource next time I speak with him so we can get this done quicker ;)
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Great explanation prophet! I also was very sceptic about the Chinese root, and seems I was right.

Also I don't want to spend a penny on hardware to get my device rooted.... I kinda see it as cheating..

Well have not done much the last few days since I was in bed with a flew that has gotten to me... And also has to study for a exam tomorrow. So after that I hope I'm fully back 2 business.

Anyhow I'm kinda happy that it was not found yet. Want our team 2 find it haha.

Will catch up soon with u!
[HTC Incredible S] Ghisy:
Oh man, I can't believe that Chinese dude was such a rip-off! :(
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
O'really? Have not heard from ever, and I watch about every HTC thread. It's easy to claim you have rooted, and everybody believes it. I also want to believe it, but a little scepticism is always a good thing in here.

Anyhow he sort of rooted it, but its only a ROM he rooted, not the device. So its not a total lie hh
[HTC Incredible S] nzl5423:
oh,In factly,The man who be called Chinese dude do not say anything about IS root,So it is not the last result,just waiting . I hope is not a lie and IS be rooted!

Sony Ericsson will let you unlock the bootloader on new Xperia Android phones

And now Sony Ericsson say that they will unlock your bootloader:

http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/devel...e-boot-loader-in-the-new-xperia™-smartphones/

Where is HTC when it comes to supporting the dev community that made their phones usable for so many years?
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Just read the previous comments or other topics: it says that your phone already has to be s-off or he can unlock it for you (which requires you to bring your phone to him). Which will probably be by an XTC-clip (device that uses hardware trickery) so from that point its not really rooted yet.

We are still working on it.

And damn even sony can do something right for a change.... (after ps3 hack and the reactions of sony i kinda hate them)
[HTC Incredible S] nzl5423:
First of all, thanks for you hard work!

The chineses person's name is YuHong, and he have sold many ISs,but all of them not be rooted.

He just said he has rooted IS but no ditails(03-27-2011),and no any news like that untill tody,so it may be not the last result.

I hope what you said is not ture! haha
[HTC Incredible S] kicked:
Called the htc technical support directly (from germany 069-22 22 73 34) and ask them what I have to do when I´m a developer and need root access to the IS to test my own programmed software.

First he had to ask a colleague about this issue (coz he don´t know technical things bout his stuff, haha) and then he gave me the advice to buy a Nexus One. The IS ist not build for developing and there is no possibility to gain root access........yeah.

Hope someone kicks HTC axx
[HTC Incredible S] tanleiqu:
maybe we should stop waiting...

and some guys found that almost all the original indian version is s-off.
[HTC Incredible S] Ghisy:
@timbo007up, I wanted to believe too but I didn't think it was such a scam! Seeing is believing I guess, in this case!

@tanleiqu, where did you find the info about the Indian version?
[HTC Incredible S] tanleiqu:
in china there are so many versions such as ind arb tur tw swe hk asia...

now the guys found that almost all inds and some of tws are original s-off.

you can find the threads on this two webs:

http://bbs.gfan.com/forum-574-1.html

http://www.hiapk.com/forum-466-1.html

there already appeared the guide for s-off phones:

http://www.hiapk.com/thread-1121560-1-1.html

for the moment xtc clip seems to be the one and only choice to the guys who have s-on phones like me:(

hopefully the hack team could find a solution and thanks for their hard work :)
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
Can you make a complete dump?
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
We've already got a dump from a device that shipped S-OFF
[HTC Incredible S] kalevs:
Very nice news !
[HTC Incredible S] dori0214:
should at least pay some respect to people who HAS THE INTENTION/POSSIBILITY to help us.

if YUHONG eventually published the rooting method. how would you feel like?
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
Id be happy but takes a while before he wrote the guide lawl
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
O we are really. Every help is welcome, but YuHong is a retailer and only makes a custom ROM. And we are 99% sure that even if he unlocks the phone it will be by an xtc clip. So that's why.

And we have looked into all the info you guys gave us. With all the respect and thanks, but nothing works. That's why we are sceptic about it.

And please love to see if you can find a rooting method software based. Or point us to somewhere where we can, but don't state the obvious and the already said stuff, this thread is already getting bloated :p
[HTC Incredible S] smartsreenath:
i don't think so.and i didn't find any s-off phones even at grey market.i believe its a fake

2011-3-30 17:00：

YuHong proclaimed IS has been rooted Completely，and Rom will come as soon as possible！

just waiting！
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
Rooting a device that is S-OFF is pretty straight forward, and a ROM won't help anyone who is S-ON (unless he has managed to break RSA encryption, in which case he should be working for the NSA). What everyone here needs is instructions on how to remove the NAND lock, which is what we are working on. If that is what he is going to publish then great, but I haven't heard any mention of that so far.
[HTC Incredible S] doublecheese:
How can I know if my device is S-OFF or not ?

Because my device was bought from one of these Far east countries...
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
If you get into the bootloader It will say at the top of the screen
[HTC Incredible S] Mikael1711:
And how do you get into the bootloader? Pressing volume- and power on, does´nt work. Just comming from Desire, that was the way to do it.
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
As far as I know there is no hardware combination, you need to use adb

adb reboot bootloader
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
There is ;) volume down and power XD

tried every key combo, so i know it works.

Further more were not trying to find out how to root a rom, but the device. which requires disabling the NAND-lock (which l0st.pr0phet already mentioned).

Seriously rooting a rom and flash it is quite easy is IF the phone is s-off. So everybody who is following YuHong, you dont have to, its just a custom rom, nothing more, nothing less.

But we will keep track of it in case he did more than that.

P.s. vol down + power on is also for desires hboot, vol up is for fastboot/recovery i thought
[HTC Incredible S] doublecheese:
You must take the battery out first

Then insert the battery and press and hold Volume (-) and then press Power button

Mine is S ON :(
[HTC Incredible S] walda:
On DHD there is a setting "Fastboot" in the Settings. This must be off to turn the device completely off. Then u can turn it on via Vol- and Powerbutton. The other way is to remove the battery.

But what if Yuhong releases a RUU? (I know they are signed etc...)... So it could be that the YuHong RUU is S-OFF, isnt it?

Maybe impossible for him to sign a RUU but theoretically...
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
No need to remove the battery, works with normal reboot (if your timing is right) and from cold boot (so shutdown and let it be for a few secs). But make sure you have the fastboot option disabled in the settings (just came to mind).

Edit: (need to refresh more)

About the signed part. yeah i can sign one too. But he probably dont have the HTC private key. So doesnt gonna work :P
[HTC Incredible S] tanleiqu:
Yuhong post his guide and rom, but it is just for s-offs.:o
