Dont wait for root, you need a s-off first...
NO WAY yet for a ordinary user to get s-off without charge.
---
new:
upload recovery, boot with adb root, and a root zip. If you already got a s-off you can enjoy this.
Attached in #16.
PG32IMG_boot_adb_root.zip & PG32IMG_recovery.zip, need rename to PG32IMG.zip and flash with fastboot which already s-off

s-off, make a recovery, flash recovery, root. I can upload my recovery but it's useless for s-on user.
You have to pay $ to somebody to get a s-off.
for chinese:
水货商那里可以s-off,他们放出root信息只是想出货,只有他们卖的手机有root,所以不要傻等了亲,还是等牛逼的大神们研究出通用的off方法吧。

seems that YUHONG is working with the IS's Rooting tutorial,
and i think the tutorial may take effect ,just by use sofware or storage,without devices which we dont have yet(like a special SIM card or anything else.?).

I m not sure if the XTC Clip works for the IS but it's available to buy online
IMHO you are asking in the wrong place, mainly people here are gathered to look for a free software solution.. if you are desperate to root your IS them pm the chines chap

What do you mean by "not public yet"? Does it imply there's gonna be a software root released? (well, not found by our members on XDA who are working on it I mean)

YUHONG? 育虹?
He just a mobilephone seller, and have Special SIM/XTC Clip. I dont think he have this ability...
s-off can use...
PG32IMG_boot_adb_root.zip, boot.img with adb root;
PG32IMG_recovery.zip, my mod recovery, which "reboot" may not work;
IS_Root_signed.zip, flash it with recovery you can get root.
(Sorry for forget this: This PG32IMG_boot_adb_root.zip mod on "PG32IMG_Vivo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.38.707.1_Radio_Radio_20.23.30.0802U_38.02.01.11_M_release_172598_signed", if you are not this rom and flash it, you may can not open wifi. to fix, you can flash back you boot.img, or change tihs bcm4329.so in /system/lib/modules)
Has anyone tried these files llnhhy just posted?
hehe,
good job from xtc clip
Regards!
Hi to the Incredibles
Just coming from a Legend and I must say I love the IS.
Now like all of you I'm waiting for a method to get root.
Sorry for my newbish question, but are there any differences in XTC clips around, anything to watch out for?
I'm playing with the idea of buying one together with a few friends who also got Incredibles and too much money obviously
I'm not entirely sure though, since with such a device it won't be so much fun anymore to follow the guides et.c.
If You have posibillity to buy this clip,just buy it and You won't regret.
Regards!
Ok I called HTC U.S. today about if we here are going to get the OTA update and I was told no. We need to see how many of us have this phone and have been able to downgrade with the gold card or an method to get 2.3.3 on their phone.
List what model phone you have and if it is S-on or S-off. Because if someone can get there phone working i think everyone else would like to know how it was done.
Thanks
S710E
S-on
If you are waiting for the gingerbread OTA, there is a thread that gives you step by step instructions to upgrade from froyo to gingerbread by flashing your phone with the latest Gingerbread OTA. The method works for phones that are S-On.

I tried every possible combination on Incredible S on AT&T (Bell branded S-on sim unlocked version)
goldcard + PG32IMG.zip = Device ID error (tried every gingerbread version).
also tried RUU virgin wwe ... etc. gives Model ID error.
Probably I'm gonna end up buying the XTC clip.

For now, even the XTC Clip isn't able to S-OFF the Bell Incredible S. I tried it myself.
Raskal should post an update in about a month that should resolve this.
I am a beta tester xtc is aware of the problem we have given build.prop to him solution will come soon

i understand you guys are trying to get S-Off for the Bell IS, but i'd like to know if any of you have tried the GingerBreak 1.2 APK to obtain root. i'm contemplating the Bell IS, but would prefer that it at least be rootable. thanks in advance for your reply.

You can't temp root any Gingerbread Sense ROM on any phone as the exploit makes the phone highly unstable until you reboot, at which point you lose it unless you are S-OFF
I don't get it if htc don't want to update the phone to 2.3 then way the f###k don't they just unlock the f%%%ing boot loader this is what piss me off

You do realize updates have to be approved by the carriers right?
Definitely the worst thing about the android ecosystem in the USA. In europe it's a lot better in this regard. You buy a phone outright and you are serviced directly by the manufacturer. No dumb carrier bullcrap gets in the way. Hence why the european Galaxy S updates were so quick and frequent, whereas in the USA people are still waiting got froyo or gingerbread.
If you're going to get a phone with a locked bootloader, like htc, always get a european unbranded model. It's way better for updates.
Doesn't help the people here though. Seems htc is a far different beast there than in europe. Kinda heartless really. Especially since the software is there. It just needs "testing". Which quite frankly is ridiculous, since it's already tested and known to work.
But sometimes it is better with carrier's blessing. For example, Droid got efficient and quality Android update while Milestone was left in the dark. Update is slow and buggy...

The problem I have the Incr. S with no carrier in the US bc it is a WWorld phone. But yes why the hell is the phone locked.
I'm actually thinking of returning this phone and sticking with my Droid 2 Global. I'm worried about the lack of development and that we may not see a solution for s-off for this device (at least without forking over a lot of cash for an XTC, which as of yet doesn't even work for the Inc2).
Hi guys ,
Sorry if this is a noob question. I am wondering how it would be possible to remove the bloatware on my incredible s with Bell. From what I understand it is impossible to do right now since there is no root yet for this device. Am I wrong ? is there a way to go about this?
Thanks
Mario
You need an XTC Clip to get you S-OFF, afterwards you can root and do anything you want. But this question belongs into the general subforum.
Ok . Can you just explain to me what S-off means?
Security OFF..
When you buy a new HTC phone, it's S-ON, which basically means that the internal memory is set read only at boot time, so you can't get write access to the system partition which is a requirement if you want to root your phone.
HTCs bootloader is terribly signed on their new phones, so that it's extremely difficult to hack. That's why it can only be done with an XTC Clip at the moment.
An XTC Clip is a piece of hardware that sells around 150USD (full version).
There's also a new one called XTC pay as you go which comes with only 1 "credit" to unlock 1 phone. This version is only about USD40 or so..
Best is to get someone in your area that owns such a clip to do that for you.. afterwards you can root and install custom roms and remove bloatware with titanium backup or freeze bloatware using any freeze app on the market..
Thank you buddy!
Except that, as of today, the Incredible S from Bell is not compatible with XTC Clip:
http://forums.phone-tools.cn/showthread.php/37528-Bell-Incredible-S-and-XTC-Clip
So you'd better wait before spending money on a XTC clip yet.
If your have a Rooted phone, isn't it possible to remove blotware with Titanium Backup Pro?

My bootloader allowed lock says no but o2 on pay monthly say I can still unlock my bootloader. They took my imei number and are processing the lock and I have to wait for a email and this can take 7 working days to process. Has any one else done this? As I'm still in my 14 day peace of mind and might send back but they do say will be able to unlock my bootloader
Edit
Just had a email to unlock my phone to any network so just unlocked and it still says bootloader unlock allowed no
But they said I could, do I just try it?

No they don't, the code you have isn't for unlocking the bootloader, just the SIM.
Before even trying to unlock the BL, I'd suggest your TA partition just in case.
Mine also said no at first, but I was still able to unlock it.

Who did you get the phone from? Mine is from Three UK and resolutely does not let me unlock the bootloader. Did you use the Sony method? Which rom etc?

Hmm stock Rom unbranded, bought it in the Netherlands. Most people here that bought the same phone aren't able to unlock their BL, maybe I just got lucky. The trick that worked for me was simply rooting the phone.

I think you did just get lucky or you just got a sim free handset by the luck of the draw. Which root method did you use? Someone else posted that they tried a specific combo of roms and two tries to unlock before it worked but never fed back any more info so it is possible there is an exploit somewhere.

Used the one I attached, can't really remember the topic.
Need to have USB debugging on.
Cheers. And the exact process? Step by step. I know it is tedious but it may be the tiniest thing (eg when you detached the usb cable or whether the sd card was in) that holds the secret.

Give up chasing it, if it was at all possible then it would have been figured out by now.

I really don't remember, since I've unlocked my BL I just flash a zip to get root back.
I firmly believe in Xda being able to make the impossible, possible. And there are no flawless systems. However I get what you mean, and don't think anyone is going to push on it now. Xperia Z is still a great phone and here is hoping the upcoming Google Edition will give us with locked bl more choice.

"Phone was rooted when I got it, I relocked it but forgot to s off because there was no bell ruu. As of now phone boots to boot menu. There is a crack on the side and the speaker crackles. If you know about rooting this should be an easy fix. $150 Obo, I paid $200 "
Interesting stuff, I just broke my nexus 4 and wanted a One so if this one can be saved God bless.
I can find out more about the phone by contacting the seller.
I have rooted every phone I have owned so it shouldn't be too hard if there IS actually a solution.
What do you guys think?

You can S-OFF with Rumrunner, and you can unlock with HTCDev, Unlock then S-OFF, You'll need S-OFF to get a firmware on there, and you'll need to be unlocked to flash a custom recovery.

So the screen is cracked and the speaker crackles? Well, it is a good deal if you're ready to spend around 80 more for a new screen and speaker from etradesupply and get them replaced by a good local technician.
