[Q] optus incredible s

Hello all,
I've got an Optus branded incrdible s. I'm looking to flash another Rom to it so I can be rig if all the crap boatware that is installed. From what I have read the virgin Rom is clean and since virgin is owned by Optus it should be fine.
I was wondering if this is possible to do with a gold card. I check my phone and it is vivo pvt ship s-on. Will this be a prblem.
Also will I loose all of my pre installed Australian maps?
I hope you can help. I have been reading for days and keep reading different things. Sine say yes some say no and I want to be sure before I go and brink my phone.
Cheers

Just try it
If you have the optus ruu (dont know it out of my head if its available) you can always restore things like that.
I dont know if the goldcard method is working for an optus, but you can try: if it wont flash, no problem nothing happens, you wont lose any of your data if it wont flash.
However: when it does flash you will lose all your data, you have to put everything in again. So probably you also lose the Australian maps since your flashing a rom which probably doesnt have that in it.
Its quite fail-safe, a brick of your phone is not very likely to happen....

Ive tried to flash the virgin rom but I keep getting an error saying its not compatible with my phone.
I used the easy goldcard creator and the app to get my CID in my phone. Not sure if the goldcard was made correctly. The app says it was successful. Perhaps you cant do it to an Optus branded phone.
If anyone else has an optus incredible S and has de branded it please tell me how.
Cheers
Pat

OK I can confirm that the Optus branded phones can be flashed by using a goldcard. I have flashed the virgin rom and it is now set up for Optus as there was an option to do so.
What I had to do to get it to work was download simple goldcard and got the CID from the MMC2 (HTC inspire) option. All other forms of gold cards would fail.
I can confirm that the bloatware is removed and it is clean of all the Optus **** and boot images.
I will check google maps and make sure the maps are still all there, which I would asume since virgin is owned by optus and this is an Australian Rom.
I hope this helps some other Optus users out there.
Cheers

Filipiak.
Apparently there was an update sent out to Optus phones with a fix for delayed sms, can you confirm you received this update? If so, what's the software number?
Kind Regards

hey, i've also got an Optus Incredible S. its a great phone, but its got optus all over it and the bloatware is killing my battery.
btw, where did you download the goldcard?? im also thinking of flashing a non branded ROM.

I updated to the version with 1.16.0000 HBOOT, and I used a goldcard to downgrade it so I could S-off.
Currently running Virtuous Affinity with no problems at all. In fact, using the latest radio I get faster downloads in more places on the Optus 3G network Im very happy I did it.

Oh, and here is the guide to create a goldcard
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373697

mine is already 1.60 with S-ON, right now im waiting on the Official 2.3.5 update with sense 3.0, but i'll still probably have the optus bloatware everywhere.
what version did you downgrade to to make the goldcard and turn S-OFF?? Optus ROM also??

You mean 1.16?
Im not sure what its name was, but the version I downgraded to was a sense 2.1 stock rom, as in a HTC rom not an optus one. i.e, it had no optus bloat. The HBOOT was 1.13.0000 which I s-offed with revolutionary.
I think youre a bit mixed up, you create a goldcard so you can downgrade, otherwise it will refuse to 'update' to an older version.
So you create a goldcard, then you s-off, then you can root, then you can flash.
I hope I helped
If you want the official 3.0, why don't you flash ARHD??

yeah, that
lol im definitely mixed up with all this. so a gold card is like an image of your android software you can use to flash your device? so if i want a custom rom ill need to s-off. and to s-off i need to downgrade to a htc 2.1 rom? but wont i need to flash a 2.1 rom in order to downgrade? i thought you couldnt flash with s-on and 1.16? LOL yeah im lost with all this, i understood flashing with Windows Mobile and iPhone a lot better.

I have an (originally) Optus branded Incredible S, HBOOT 1.16.0000, and was able to flash CM7 without using a goldcard by following this guide

If my understanding is correct, you need a goldcard to downgrade to a previous version, a goldcard is not a rom or anything, it is a modification to your sd card.
You could also 'unlock' via HTC dev, but you will remain 1.16 s-on, and you can't do all the things we can on 1.13. I don't think flashing new radios is possible. Correct me if I'm wrong?
This is why I spent my time downgrading instead of using htcdev. Also, using htcdev signs away some of your warranty.

I don't know about flashing radios with S-ON, I just wanted to confirm in this thread that it is possible to flash a custom ROM in this way to remove Optus crapware.

fair enough. the guide to unlock the bootloader doesn't look too difficult. all i want with this phone is to flash a clean rom with htc sense. looks like a hastle though.

[Q] Unroot Incredible S ?

Hello,
Please, I did root Incredible S, but I need to go back (unroot). I need back guarantee. Is this possible?
Thank you very much for your answers.

Just do an official update from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922
i only suggest that you do not do not flash HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1
(that one can not yet and maybe never be rooted)
also next time just try using the search button and this question had been answered before, but enjoy

Ouuu, thank you very much I was looking for, but I was confused, so I was completely out.

Hello, How do I install the shipped rom, if I am from the Czech Republic?
or it does not matter what install the rom?
and how do I install it, just run only one. exe?
thank you so much

Well done, but I still have the S-OFF. Does it matter when the claim or not? to complain.

No way to unroot if permanent s-off?
May I ask you about some details? Which RUU did you applied and so on?
I unlocked bootloader with xtc clip, rooted device my and am running the latest ARHD now. Everything works fine except when I try to unroot (flash the stock gingerbread). It seems to be just impossible. It doesn't matter if I try to run ruu on my Vista och use goldcard method I always get either "error [130]: model ID error" or "model id error uppdate fail"
I've used two sd-cards: Kingston 2mb that worked perfect on my old Legend and original Sandisk 8mb that was shipped with my Incredible S. I followed all possible tutorials step by step but without effect. I always get the same error.
I live in Sweden and I bought my device from retailer. I'm not really sure what's the valid RUU version for our region so I've used:
RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.12.405.7_Radio_20.2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_M_release_187295_signed
RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed (especially this due to the same program and radio version)
but even optus and RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_KT_KR_2.32.1010.1_Radio_20. 2810.30.085AU_3805.06.03.16_M_release_199684_signe d.
Unfortunately it's always the same error after reboot into bootloader. Has anybody of you (that used xtc clip but not only) faced the same problem? Is there any way to bypass it? I will be very very grateful for any answer.

If you are S-OFF with a XTC-Clips, you can't get S-ON, because it's a "hardware" S-OFF:

Thanks a lot for reply but well...It's not what I asked I was asking about unrooting (just pure taking away this little f... pirate and possibility to come back to stock rom) I'm totally aware of permanent character of my unlocked bootloader.
Anyway I solved problem with help of two threads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070348&page=7 and this about canadian dudes' problem with their PG32120 devices and bell stock. As it turned out I accidently change my Modelid during s-offing and wrote it as PG321200, which i didn't know until i succesfully installed ENG s-off and rebooted bootloader todays afternoon. I used xtc clip again (I had to re-create goldcard - hboot 0.99x200 (bell) though) and reverted quite easily back to my original PG3213000. After that I installed RUU without any single issue. Just ENG s-off disappeared, but I can live without that

Can you not downgrade the HBOOT then run said RUU with a gold card. Or you could extract the ROM.zip and use that in HBOOT mode.

Believe me I tried several times and it didn't work as long as I had modelid PG321200. Once I changed model id with xtc clip problem disappeared

Hello
Can someone please help me out with a stock rom as i want to unroot because my phone has decided to refuse a usb connection and simply just charge. I have tried various different cables but still no luck, so need to go back to stock so I dont void warranty.

Is your phone branded or unbranded??
Do you know which Rom came with it??
I can send you detailed instructions to unroot and S-On your device but first you need to tell which region your phone belongs and if its branded with some carrier or unbranded???
Ehsan

Can somebody tell me how to go back to S-on. I've got dust under mine frontcamera so i have to bring it back to the store. I already flashed a RUU, only the S-off is still there. I checked the forums but i can't figure it out. I had Revol. Used to gain S-off. Can someone explain me how to do it please?

It worked fine for me and so did for a few others but I heard recently that there are some changes in AlphaRevX and the bootloader needs to be downgraded now.
I S-off my phone long ago when AlphaRevX method was just introduced so may be that's why my bootloader was overwritten by the Rom easily.

Removing Root from HTC One on O2 UK Carrier

Hi,
I don't think this is in the right place but i am unable to post under the developers area for assistance and everyone has told me this is the best place to get some help.
I am looking to get rid of my root for my HTC One on an O2 network and I think i need to get the boot loader locked which i can do then run a RUU file that matches my phone. The RUU's i have run seem to be the wrong ones and i am at a loss to which one i should be using, when i go through the steps it says that my version is 1.27.206.1 does this mean i need to find the version that is O2 and 1.27.206.1 for it to work?
I have also tried an OTA but this just stops at the boot loader screen and i think this is because some of the stock apps are wipe. Any help would be much appreciated.

You do need that RUU but it isnt available yet.

Thanks for the very quick response, ok that narrows it down quite a bit, would you happen to know which RUU i would be looking for when it does come out? will it be a specific O2 RUU for the version 1.27.206.1? Also where would i check for it once its released?
Is their anyway around the OTA update to remove the Root atm?

You would need an ruu that has the same software or newer than yours. The key bit would be the .206 section. There is an RUU thread here. You could flash one of the stock nandroid backups in the RUU thread. Add the apps back. There is a .zip somewhere then remove the stock recovery and flash the ota.

Hi Ste, thanks again for your help, i know this is a huge ask but this is a brand new phone and i want to be as careful as possible when trying to undo my root. Is their anyway you could post specific links for me to try the above? Like i said a huge ask so i fully understand if you don't have time. Guess i am looking for someone to hand hold me through this,

I would but I'm on my phone using tapatalk so I can't really at the moment sorry. The ruu thread is on this part of the forum though. And the other bit should be in the dev section.

Ok, no worries, i have downloaded the UK Nandroid rom and flashed it to my device but i still have everything on my phone like games that i had before flashing it which is a little odd.
i have also found the stock apps from a post on here like you said and have them all installed on the phone. Could someone explain the next steps please,

why dont you just use the unroot in the superuser apps? SuperSU has the option.

Hi, i have tried this option but when the phone reboots the application is back and the bootloader is still showing as Tampered.

[Q] Unrooting my HTC One

Hi Guys, I just got the phone (international/ non-carrier version) yesterday. Updated it to 4.3, and rooted it, following the guide from HTCOneRoot.com.
Everything is fine and dandy, as when I rooted my previous phone. But in my sheer eagerness, I didn't find out that the 4.4 was available also.
I now have a rooted phone, and I can't update it, as it goes directly to TWRP recovery when I try to install. I guess this is what it's supposed to do?
From what I can read you cannot install OTA when you have rooted your phone.
So I tried looking up how to unroot it. But this seems like a rather difficult project, and I am not sure I understand. From what I read I need to download a RUU, to install a stock rom(?) and I tried looking up this, but there are tons to select from, and I haven't the slightest clue which matches my phone. Can anyone be of assistance, as to how I can revert my root and update to 4.4, so I can root my phone with the latest android, instead? I'm not really interested in getting a custom rom on my phone.
Guess I should've read more about rooting before doing it, as I'm kind of a novice, but I'm more a trial and error kinda guy .
Thanks.
Edit: Or should I just find a custom "stock" KitKat ROM, and install that, from my current position? Is that even possible?

Sort of an answer

Hey man, so to find the right ruu go here htcdev webiste, go under kernel source code and then choose device as the one and then choose carrier and download one of the matching ones.
For the other stuff I'm in the same boat as you. Just waiting for answers...I would try looking at youtube and type how to unbrick htc one and try those first. Didn't work for me but might for you.

Thanks. I'll look that up.
I am not bricked, as the situation is now. I just have a rooted phone, working with 4.3. And I want to upgrade to 4.4.
So I guess I have to choose HTC as carrier? I live in Denmark and am unsure whether to choose EU or EU NFC as region? Also what kernel version do I want to download? I am somewhat unsure what to do next.

Do a fastboot getvar all, and choose the RUU that matches your MID and your CID

I've only rooted my phone so far. From what I understand I can just install a "custom 4.4" from this point, right?

[Q] Switching from AT&T to Telus

Hey there,
I have a HTC One M7 (AT&T) I recently acquired from a family member that lives in the States. As a Canadian fellow, I needed to change my carrier from AT&T to Telus. I have already unlocked the phone and rooted it.. I just cannot, for the life of me, get S-off to function. I have followed instructions carefully yet I must be missing something.. I am now stuck, because the current custom roms I'm trying to install in order to have a unsecure kernel are starting to act strange. Everything seems to function, except no icons are appearing on the roms. Thank god for sideloader... My goal is to finally be able to use an RUU for telus on this phone so that I can properly use the data and other features that are offered on the network.
Can someone clarify exactly what steps I need to take? I've already used revone, moonshine, and firewater and none of them have been able to exploit the roms I've used. I need to find a rom that will work on this phone..
Any help is appreciated.

Looks like the 4G\LTE frequencies are the same , so all you should need to do is sim unlock. I don't think the Telus RUU will do anything for you.

Now that you point it out, yes, you're right. However, when I had the AT&T RUU it wouldn't let me access my data, only text. So that's when I assumed I required a Telus RUU. Right now I'm actively trying to get a rom pushed to my device so that I can install it.. However every time I push the file (adb usb) then (adb push filename.zip /sdcard) it doesn't appear in my clockworkmod recovery. I go to install zip then install zip through sdcard and nothing appears.. not even in the downloads folder. Sideload won't function either because it gives me an error.. Can someone help me? The current rom that I have installed doesn't function. I believe it's insertcoin latest m7 version.
Does someone know if I'm pushing my file incorrectly and how I could fix that? Or does anyone know a fix to sideloader writing errors? How do I gain permissions to write? chmod 777? What is the process involved?
I would like to be on as much as a stock rom as possible, with Sense 6.0. I really want this phone to work and I'm consistently running into little issues like this adb push.
