I know that the rooting process in this device was quite complicated but I was wondering, is there any way to Un-root it? If there is, please help me.
Looking forward to your replies.

How did you root? Did you use AlphaRevX to gain S-OFF and then root? If so, then you can unroot by running a RUU or flashing a ROM.zip file of an official HTC ROM.
Yes, I used AlphaRevX.
Do you know how can I get the RUU for the incredible S? I couldn't find it in htc's site.
Thank you.

Hello
I used the AlphaRevX process to root my Incredible S. If now I run an RUU, does it format all my data and programs installed?
I need to unroot because there is a new OTA for Gingerbread which I cannot install (it gives me a white triangle with a questione mark)
Thanks

Yes, usually running an RUU will wipe your data and programs.

Since you are rooted currently, you can use Titanium Backup to back up your apps. Also My Backup Root will allow you to back up apps and their data, so either one of those is an option before you try running the RUU.
I know its not a reply but can you tell me where you got the instructions to root the phone?

Follow that guide and you'll be s-off and have a rooted phone
Hello guys,
I have little trouble here, I own Incredible S with andorid 2.3.5 and HTC sense 3.0
and I was going to root it but befor rooting I needed to S-off and managed to do so.
Problem is that I failed, i tryed almost everthing, including revolutionary which I liked most but it doesn't work because of unsupported bhoot version.
supported versions are 1.09 and 1.13 But I have 2.00.0001 so it doesn't work..
I'm almost noob in android but want to have phone rooted so please give me some advice..
What is the easiest way to S off or to downgrade hboot to 1.13 or 1.09 (I don't even know if it's possible..)?
Thank you very much,
Nick.

If you just want root and don't care about acknowledging to HTC that you are doing so, then check out the unlock procedure at HTCDEV.com. Note you will have to give HTC info about your phone that potentially void a warranty claim.
Well, main reason of rooting is to install georgian fonts.
As far as i know there is no way to install fonts on unrooted phone soo will that method help me to use fonts after rooting?

If after you unlock the bootloader, you would then be able to flash a custom recovery and this would allow you to flash the latest versio of SU-3.0.xxx.zip which would root your phone and allow you to install fonts.

Is it possible that you have a file named PG32IMG.zip on your SD card? That's what it sounds like is happening. Delete this file and then start the process again.

Unlocking the bootloader does not give you root/superuser access. You need to install a custom recovery image and then you can flash SuperSu to get root/superuser access or you can install a custom, rooted ROM.

All of the information you need has already been posted on this forum. You need to learn to search, read and understand all things with regard to modifying your phone.
You need to begin by reading the "STICKY" posts in the forum, that is why they are there, so they are easy to find and read.

Go to the general section and follow lynt's guide.... As you have an unlocked bootloader.... Skip those steps.... It's very clear...
Download and Flash a clockworkmod recovery in the bootloader... To download Google it...
Then download a rom and flash it via recovery...
Give a read and try... If you are not confident enough still you have a video on YouTube following lynt's guide...

Seems like your phone is rooted do you don't receive any official updates. You can boot in boatloader and see if your phone is unlocked, shutdown your phone and start your phone by holding power and volume down button at the same time. See what it says there, probably "unlocked" and s-on or s-off. After that chose recovery and see which recovery you have.
Go to settings - About Phone - Software Info and post what it says.
The device you bought was not new. It was unlocked and had or has a custom recovery installed.

If I have stock ROM (restored from nandroid) and reflashed stock recovery, I won't get OTA updates if my phone is rooted?

It looks like it is a development model (not DEV edition), which should not be sold anyways.
You can root and flash custom ROM, but I highly doubt that you will receive updates for a development model.

Well since your bootloader is already unlocked and you got the custom recovery, you can always flash the latest custom rom that has Android 4.2 or 4.3. Otherwise you can bring the phone back to stock if possible. They're how to guides on how to do that on XDA.

Well your bootloader is still 1.44, so you still have the option to get S-Off, which would allow you to remove TAMPERED, and also allow you to return completely back to stock using a RUU.
How familiar are you with all this? I would recommend reading some of the guides, but if you do want to get back completely to stock you'll probably need to S-Off.
Can you post "fastboot getvar all" (and remove your IMEI and serial number before posting).
No updates
thanks nkk and farang..
yes i have done few time changing stock and versions on my previous htc but please tell me after all this will it be like a regular phone and can get all updates and in future i dont need to change ( in short i wont be sticking to same rom )

Factory reset will just reset your current Rom. So you have two options, 1 flash an other rom, which is already 4.3 and learn what a custom Rom can do for you, welcome to xda or 2, you can revert to stock version by flashing the right RUU for your version, but you need s-off to do this. You should do this now your bootloader is still 1.44. Anyway whatever you gonna do, you will have some homework to do!

First you need to install the HTC drivers (http://d-h.st/4LL), and adb/fastboot sdk (http://d-h.st/ja1) credits to @vomer; please read through the first part of his guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506
Once you've installed HTC drivers, and unzipped adb sdk to C:\ADB, reboot your phone into bootloader -> FASTBOOT, connect your phone to the PC, FASTBOOT will change to say FASTBOOT USB.
On your PC: "CD C:\ADB" then type "fastboot getvar all" and post results back (remember to remove IMEI and serial number)

hello guys.. thank you all for your help//

OK, that tells us you have a Vodaphone UK version, not Asia, not a problem.
Since you're still on 1.44 hboot, I would recommend to get S-Off, as you will not be able to do that later. Continue followoing vomer's guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506 and the original revone thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
Do the S-Off, no need to SuperCID at this time.
Why S-Off you ask, it would allow you to run any RUU (upgrade & downgrade) for any country and/or carrier.
Regarding SIM Lock, is your phone tied to any specific carrier at the moment? I assume not, since I dont think you're on Vodaphone UK, so the phone is/should arleady by SIM-unlocked.
Continue and report back, so we proceed with the next steps.
