So i got Android 2.3.3 on my HTC Incredible S.
Yesterday i tried to get S-Off.
It works great and i was currently S-Off but after i didn't managed to get CWM on my device on 2.2.1 Official ROM, i decided to try to install a official WWE Gingerbread ROM. Installation wasn't complete because it took too long and i decided to abort.
Then i have made a factory reset and geht back to my Froyo ROM, but Phone was rootet? Even after the reset.
(Before i tried to root with superoneclick but no chance) ... Then i tried to install a zip from RUU via SD an it works, i got a Gingerbread ROM on a S-ON device

Hi guys,
So I've ran into this problem of my HTC Legend being stuck in a boot loop after trying to flash with modaco's custom/stock froyo roms via fake flash. (Tried signed/unsigned rom and tried with radio)...is it to do with S-ON?
However the weird thing is that the Legend official rooted rom (Eclair) from cookmyrom.se works perfectly fine..apart from the fact that I cannot install anything from market.
My Hboot menu says:
-------------------------
LEGEND PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.01.0000
MICROP-0816
TOUCH PANEL-SYN07_0103
RADIO-7.13.35.05
Nov 8 2010,15:24:15
-------------------------
It would be great if you guys could shed some light on what's going on and how I would be able to flash the modaco custom rom.
Cheers!
Hey Guys,
i have quite a serious issue with my HTC Incredible S i bought in Thailand.
As it was S-On, I first went for a XTC-Clip. The mobile had hboot 1.13.***
As XTC Clip offered only hboot 1.09, i simply chose that one and my phone was S-OFF a few minutes later. Everything ok.
As a second step, i installed CWM 4.0.0.4 to make a snapshot of my current system.
Since the mobile is still running stock 2.2, i tried to do an OTA upgrade from HTC.
Much to my suprise this upgrade failed (wrong model id). I then downloaded a custom ROM from XDA (Virtuous Unity 1.27.0 Sense 3.0) and tried to flash it via CWM. The installer stopped then with a cryptic error message (pls. see enclosed picture).
I suspect XTC Clip changed/replaced parts of my hboot and thus the phone has a wrong ID which prevents me from installing any new ROM or upgrades.
So i did some research and thought, that Alpharev-X could solve the problem
I ran the tool (beta2) and everything went smooth. But the problem with the model ID still persists
I checked my hboot, which gives me the following details:
AlphaRev
VIVO PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.13.1002
RADIO-38.02.01.11_M
eMMC-boot
Does anyone of you has an idea how to "unlock" my phone so that i can flash the ROMs of this great community?
Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
H.

Rest assured, your phone is unlocked and has security turned off so that you can flash custom ROMs. I can only assume that you must have a IncS model 710d. At some point during the IncS international releases, the internal model switched from "incs" to "vivo". The ROM you are trying to install is looking for "incs", not "vivo". I would suggest you try another one of the custom ROMs and see if they will install.

ok, i will give it a try. but does this also explain why i cannot install the official 2.3.3 over the air upgrade of HTC? my phone tells me that the upgrade is available but fails to install the downloaded package

No, the OTA update is failing because you have ClockworkMod recovery installed. OTA updates require that the original HTC recovery be in place.
hello,
i could finally install the MIU ROM for the IncS and from there successfully upgrade to the Virtuous ROM v1.29.
Again many thanks for your help!

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me in my quest to install the OTA update for the Incredible S to 2.3.5, sense 3.0.
I have previously rooted, back in the Summer of this year so think it would have been Alpha or Revoked. Have tried a couple of things to restore S-On in order to run the stock update.
I have tried several methods to flash a new HBOOT, including flashing the OTA from Sense and the bootloader, and have tried to flash a new PG32IMG as well.
Most recently I have extracted a Rom.zip from a working Incredible S/Vivo RUU, and tried to put on the Hboot from this after running the Vivo Downgrade.img - for both of these I keep getting "Can not roll back hboot version" on the bootloader screen after pushing to the device with FASTBOOT.
Since installing the PG32IMG.zip I tried, I have changed to Vivo PVT SHP S-OFF RL on the bootloader. The other details are:
HBOOT - 700.1000
RADIO - 3805.04.03.22_M
eMMC - boot
Other than having S-Off and being rooted, I am running Stock 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I'm going wrong, or what Hboot I can flash to overcome this please!
Is your Inc s locked to a network or did you get it sim free, that could be a problem you might be having. If you went from a custom rom to stock rom did you use the correct ruu to go to rom which is right for your country.
The phone itself is sim free. I used an RUU that was as similar to the OTA update naming as possible:
RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed

Since you are S-Off using Revolutionary, the Revolutionary HBOOT is preventing you from overwriting it so you won't lose S-Off. If you truly want to return to a stock ROM then you need to follow this procedure:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15732727&postcount=14
I've followed the method on there, but not convinced I have the full SDK suite installed, so might be worth me retrying once I have.
I have a ViperVivo rom on my brothers phone but he is whining about freezing and slowing so I need to unroot s-on and restore stock rom.In brief i need to restore the phone to the beginning where it was untouched but i do not know how to do.
Following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1137008 ,i downloaded clockworkmod, downgraded hboot to 1.13, i did S-OFF and flashed a custom rom.Now, how can I reset all these ? Thanks for the answers

My advice is to keep S-OFF and CWM and just flash this stock, rooted ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908187
It is based on the last official ICS ROM for the IncS. Or a better one to consider would be mike1986's ARHD which is based on the same ICS ROM but includes all of the most recent supporting application.
Thanks but is there a way that i can deactivate S-OFF and completely restore to the stock rom? I like the custom roms but he is blaming the root and custom roms for freezing and he is about to open a crack in my head

Root is the not the problem. Use either of the 2 rooted stock ROMs that I suggested and he should not have any lockup issues.
Otherwise, you will need to remove the Revolutionary S-OFF bootloader and replace it with a stock HTC bootloader before you could run an official HTC RUU to go completely stock. You will need to search this forum for the posts that document that procedure, but they are so old that some of the links that they reference may not be good anymore.
So again my advice would be to keep S-OFF and CWM and flash a stock, rooted ROM based on a HTC official IncS RUU.
