im gona send my phone in as a replacement, but i want to make sure everything looks stock before it send it in, i found a couple of ways to return to stock but i keep getting signiture verified failed, and i assume its because i have an unlocked bootloader, can any 1 help?
You should be able to find the stock rom for unlocked users in the development section. Just flash that and you will be back on stock.
But you can't re-lock the bootloader. When you unlocked it you voided the warranty, and it stays that way.
If it is a physical hardware problem, you should be able to still get warranty though.
Sorry, I meant to say my bootloader is locked, I don't have a problem with the rom, but the recovery. I am on ra recovery atm and I want to go back to google's stock. Is there anyway to do that?
Im pretty sure this works for all phones but if you flash Official OTA it will put everything back to stock(except bootloader if it has been unlocked) but doing this you will also loose root as well
i would wait for some one to tell you another way to get back to stock recovery, im sure there is a way to do it in adb or something.. Flashing the official OTA should be like a last thing wanting to do
Look for the stock recovery Tom for your phone then just flash with fastboot. That's the easiest way that I. Did it.

He cant do fastboot, he has locked Bootloader.
yeah, it saids verification failed and wouldnt let me flash anything onto it
oops my bad. I had an unlocked bootloader. My other phone is locked.

Yeah i had the same problem when i tried to revert mine to stock. My bootloader was lock and wouldnt let me reflash the stock rom with verification failed.
NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE CORRECT WAY, DO AT YOUR OWN RISK :
I renamed the image to PASSIMG.zip and booted into bootloader. The bootloader automatically searches for PASSIMG and when it found it went through an update/installing process which took about 5minutes. When it booted phone was unrooted again, and had the stock recovery.
Once that was done, i installed the FRF85 (i think) update.zip from bootloader recovery, then did the same with update.zip for FRF91.
Again not sure if this was the correct way as i have never seen posts directing to do it this way - have posted questions about it in the past week or two, but never got any responses...
I'm gonna bump this thread up again. I tried downloading the original PASSIMG file for the stock and when I try and flash it by putting it on the SD card I get that the main file is older and the install is aborted. I can't fastboot the files because my bootloader is not unlocked. I'm currently running a FRG83 based ROM, does this matter? I'd like to return my phone to stock recovery and stock ROM, but so far every attempt has been met in failure... I guess it's an irony of rooting a phone without unlocking a bootloader. If you have to send it in for repairs you have to unlock the bootloader to return to stock, or you can't return to stock and you're left with custom recovery and root... either way HTC knows you're rooted. I know my issue is a hardware issue, but it would be my luck they decide to void my whole warranty.
You can't just PASSIMG your way back from FRG83, if you have it - since there's no PASSIMG for FRG83 yet (at least I'm not aware of one, and looks like Google isn't either), and the system is designed not to flash older builds. Trying to use PASSIMG to return to older builds requires some heavy preparations (has to be rooted, then downgrading HBOOT and probably flashing initial system.img from an older build through adb in recovery, using flash_image). It's possible and not very hard to do, but most probably beyond "1-click-root"ers' skills. All the relevant info is in the Wiki, so if you want to attempt it - you can try.
Unrooting FRG83 (reflashing stock recovery from FRF91, removing su and Superuser.apk from root shell) might be easier.
Also, put attention that if the phone has SLCD screen - the official stock FRF91 won't work on it.
I actually was able to PASSIMG to FRG33 then OTA back to FRG83. which I thought was odd due to the fact that I was on a FRG83 based rom. Oh well, it's 100% back to stock now. So even though people say that a rooted/unlocked phone only voids your software warranty I don't have to worry about it. Yay for keeping a locked bootloader.
Hi all,
I am newbie in this foruma nd new in Android. I am going to get the Incredible S later this week. I would like to try to root the Incredible S. I read some of the treads, but I am a bit confuse here, hope someone can help me out. Here are my questions.
1) Can I root my phone with Unrevoked3 ? If so can I use the S-On tools to put it back to s-on for warranty ?
2) Before I do the root, I would like to backup my Rom. All I need to do is go to Hboot and choose backup. It will save my rom image right? If any bad thing happen, I can S-On than put it back my rom and everything will back to the factory setting ?
3)How would I know if my phone been rooted? I saw a thread said if there is an Icon (superuser) in the menu it means I am rooted?
I know these are stupid questions, hope someone can help me out in here.
Thanks in advance

1. No, Unrevoked3 does not work on the Incredible S. You need to use AlphaRev/Unrevoked Revolutionary (http://revolutionary.io/)
2. You need to have a custom recovery in place such as ClockworkMod to backup image of your ROM. Revolutionary has an option to install ClockworkMod during it's procedure. In order to restore the phone to factory settings, you need to make sure you have a RUU (Rom Update Utility) that matches your phone's version.
3. After you install ClockworkMod, you will need to manually root and add superuser to your phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122694
Thank you very much for the reply. I will definately giong to give it a try. Another question here, after I applied Revolutionary and the phone will become S-off. And I want to put back the factory image back, will the phone switch back to S-ON ?? From other threads, I think it will void the warranty if the phone is S-ON
Thank you very much
You can put your phone back to S-ON yes. Make sure you haven't updated your phone to 2.30.405.1 or you can't root or S-OFF your device.
Great thanks. So here is my steps for turn the IncS to S-Off and backup right ?
First I will have to use Revolutionary to turn the S-OFF
than I will use ClockworkMOd to backup my factory ROM (just in case i need to turn it back to S-ON and factory setting for warranty)
Once I am S-OFF i will be able to use one of the image for Root
Thank you very much for all the helps guys. I will give it a try and see how it goes.

You have to flash RUU according to your IS version. It does full restore your device to factory state. So yes it includes S-on and Htc official Rom so it would be just like when it came out of the box.
Edit: What's your software number? You may check at Settings / About phone. You need that to flash properly RUU to your device.

Hi thiagofbrito, thanks for the reply. Sorry I don't have my INcS yet, still waiting for it, but I will check the software #.
By the way , if I used clockworkmod. I can backup my ROM right? So if anything happen can I use that backup and rest it as Factory Setting with S-ON ?
Don't really undersatnd what is the RUU use for?
Thanks

Not exactly. ClockworkMod backup and restore only saves and restores the whole ROM image, but not the SecurityFlag setting (S-OFF/S-ON), so restoring a CWM backup will not return you to S-ON state.
This is where the RUU comes into play. As long as you have the RUU for your particular phone and carrier, that is what you would use to return the phone to a full Factory Setting complete with S-ON. In the Development section there is a thread that has alot of the shipped RUUs for the IncS.
Sorry to tag onto this thread but 1 more question.....if the IS is already set up and now would like to get it rooted, following the procedure won't reset the device and clearing out the data right? I know using Unrevoked won't clear the data but not sure about this one. Kindly confirm

No, the S-OFF and rooting process will not wipe out your existing apps or data.
Hi, I just received my IS, the phone already S-OFF , android version 2.3.3 , but it has some app I don't want. I know that I need to rooted before I remove those, can I root this phone ? Or I need to follow the unrevoked 3 proceduce and flash the custom rom ?

No you haven't missed anything. The procedure instructions were for gaining S-Off using Revolutionary which installs a modified hboot that contains additional fast boot commands. So you must have a XTC clipped S-Off, so you simply need to install ClockworkMod by copying a PG32IMG.zip file to your SD card and letting the boot loader install it.
Shouldn't this be more like..
1. Download CMW's zip file (Available in this thread here)
2. Make sure the file is named "PG32IMG.zip" without quotes.
3. Put file in your SD card
4. Switch off phone
5. Pull out the battery and wait 5 seconds. Put the battery back in again. (This step is needed in case fast boot is enabled..)
6. Press vol down+power. HBoot (white screen with 3 android logos at the bottom) should load.
7. Wait a while.. it should pick up on your PG32IMG.zip automatically and install your custom recovery
8. Reboot into your OS and remove the zip
9. Go back into HBoot and then recovery. Use as you please (I suggest you take a backup first then proceed to flashing or doing anything else you might fancy )
Thanks for the reply. My HTC is not XTC cliped. I bought this at a retail store. When I checked the HBOOT is already S-OFF. So as you said, all I need to do is download the ClockMod and rename is as the zip file
Thanks
Hi tpbklake ,
Ok I tried to the instruction you provide earlier. I got the zip file, renamed and placed it on the SD card. HBOOT than I can see the HTC is saying Parsing the zip file, than i turn off the device and remove the Zip file from the SD card. And go back to HBOOT again choose recovery , and it show the red exclaimation mark . .. I don't know what happen in here, can someoen please help ?
Thanks
I cannot find an answer to my problem as hard as i look. today, i decided to root my phone (HTC vivid). I rooted it successfully, i went to the Superuser and it said it needed to be updated and to flash a kernel or something like that. (i was using this program http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003) I went to the program that i meantioned above and i clicked flash stock vivid kernel, thinking that this was the kernel i had to update or flash or whatever then my phone reboots and its all like Hurr duur im stuck on the HTC screen watcha gonna do about it. I tried many things:
One thing i tried was to do the .zip thingy, with the boot loader relocked, and it wont boot to anything else but the boot loader
i tried also to do the ruu thing, but it kept giving me errors about my phone model or something like that
Can someone please tell me what i did wrong and how to fix it?
i would really appreciate it big time!
Edit: i have an micro sd, if that info helps
I would try to restore it back to stock.
Relock to bootloader if it isn't still locked.
Then run the stock ruu for your phone from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338919
I had my vivid stuck on the HTC screen and this worked for mine.
Also, If you rooted to ICS you are most likely stuck until the official RUU from HTC is out...

You need to install HTC sync or the htcdrivers before running the ruu otherwise it won't see your phone and will just error out.

1. You obviously didn't know what you were doing. Lessons for next time.
2. If the .zip thingy made the bootloader update and it seems like it managed to flash everything alright, then you need to make sure the zip isn't on any storage connected to the phone, then go from bootloader to fastboot, unlock the bootloader using the HTCDev bootloader unlock procedure (I hope you kept your unlock_code.bin!), then fastboot flash a recovery.img, then boot to recovery from the bootloader, and flash an ICS ROM, then go back to fastboot and flash the boot.img to get the kernel flashed.
I'm guessing that you may have flashed the ICS bootloaders, but you aren't specific enough. What ruu did you try to run, exactly what zip did you try to install?
You didn't do anything wrong, you just didn't complete the procedure.

Well I hope that was a given. BUt I guess I should have listed it. Good point!
If you have an AT&T Vivid, then you should be okay, run the latest ICS RUU and hope for the best. If not, you'll have to do it the old fashioned way through lots of fastboot commands.
thank you everyone!

bootloader unlocked?
and you have custom recovery (CWM or TWRP), then you can pretty much flash any ROM you like.
If you just want to go back to stock (with or without root), then you can use this: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
select WIPE, select "stock recovery", ROOT and radio up to you
--> you'll receive future OTAs just fine, even with unlocked bootloader

1- OTA = Over The Air upgrade (when HTC releases a new update)
2- "relocked" bootloader is NOT ok: you will need to get a new unlocktocken from HTCdev, and unlock your phone
3- do you need to remove tampered or you dont care?
Basically, my question is, are you selling it or sending it back to warranty and need to have it look completely "out of the box", or are you keeping it and just want it working?

"internal storage doesnt come up when i connect my usb to computer why is that" -> cause you don't have a ROM?
USB Debugging is needed in a functioning ROM, not recovery. adb will work fine in recovery with or without any ROM.
so maybe, first thing to do is S-Off, you're on 3.62.401.1, so download and install: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
EDIT: use adb push or sideload to get it on your phone
flashable through custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), just like any custom ROM
select WIPE, select ROOT, unselect "stock recovery"
then use rumrunner to get S-Off.

USB Debugging is needed in a functioning ROM, not recovery. adb will work fine in recovery with or without any ROM.
so maybe, first thing to do is S-Off, you're on 3.62.401.1, so download and install: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
EDIT: use adb push or sideload to get it on your phone
flashable through custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), just like any custom ROM
select WIPE, select ROOT, unselect "stock recovery"
then use rumrunner to get S-Off.

1- are you in custom recovery? adb will only work in custom recovery, or functioning ROM (with USB debugging enabled)
2- if ^^^ yes, then u have to update/fix drivers, you on Win7 or 8 or 8.1, many reported issues with 8 and especially 8.1, can u use a Win7 pc?
I have been running this rom for quite some time and I wanted to know the procedures while being s on to upgrade the entire phone. I'm also enclosing a screenshot of my current firmware and ROM. Any help would be greatly appreciated I haven't done this since I first got my m8
Download the most recent RUU from the thread linked below to your computer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
Make sure your phone has a full charge. Reboot your device to the bootloader and connect your phone and computer via USB cable. Select the fastboot option from the menu and you should show that you're connected via fastboot USB mode. Open up a command window with ADB and type the command "fastboot oem lock". Press enter. This command will re-lock your boot loader. Now, double-click the RUU file you downloaded to start the installer. Be patient, as it may take a few minutes for the installer to start. Once it starts, follow the prompts on your computer screen. Once the RUU completes you can disconnect your phone from your computer and reboot your phone. The RUU will wipe the internal storage on your phone, so make a back-up and store it on your computer or your external SD card, if applicable.
Can i unlock the bootloader again after doing all this by typing fastboot oem unlock in adb?
I just wanna make sure I update everything correctly and get set up for a new Rom. I'm not getting all my calls or texts. So I am guessing the radio is too outdated
Is there a way to just get an image that will bring my phone back to stock so I can upgrade everything all at once

Alright and that won't screw up the recovery I have installed correct so I can just flash a new rom even with a locked bootloader or do I have to go through all the stupid steps to unlock it again

The stock recovery will be installed. Additionally, you'll need to use HTC Dev to unlock your phone again. That's the best way to update being S-on.
So there's no way to just update the firmware and radio without having to go through the rest of that?
Actually I just looked up how to get s off on my phone I'm going to use the fire water tool and then I'll use that link to get the firmware and flash that with the fuu

Without being S-off, no.

Firewater has been discontinued. You have to use the Sunshine exploit for S-off.
Got a link?

Sloth you deserve some Rocky road buddy
And this is what I get. I suppose nothing is simple. I got no clue what is wrong.
Kernel info
Flash a stock rooted ROM from the RUU thread I mentioned previously, then try it again.
I locked boot. Ran a ruu from boot and destroyed my os and it took me all night to recover. Can you please show me how to restore to stock? I'm kinda over it
Now that you've run the RUU, go ahead and run the Sunshine exploit. Afterwards you can go about installing recovery and flashing a new ROM, if you'd like.
Not paying 25 bucks. I'm just wanting stock. My phone got too close to getting the hammer. I'm just gonna go stock. Don't know how
