Rooting and S-off??? - HTC Incredible S

Hey guys,my friend has got a Incredible S and its in Android 2.3.3. Its from Singapore and I'm trying to help him get S-off and root on it! Can someone point me in the right direction? The steps as easy as possible I'm still new to htc devices!

There is already a comprehensive guide for doing just this:

There are other tutorials too if you take the time to search around a bit. In future if you could please look around for what you need before starting a new thread that would be great, as lots of other people have already asked this question

Glad it worked for you. The index is in the development forum, might be handy though if there was another copy in this forum as it seems to be the place to go for help

better instructions please?

was wondering if mods are anyone who post roms.. can also post step by step instructions on how to install the rom, including software/programs needed to flash it. Its hard to search around the forum to download things..But if you post everyting in one thread, it would prolly avoid a lot of noob questions..

This user has already been directed to that link, and complained it was too long.
To the OP, the directions are clear cut and work. Slapshot did a fantastic job compiling all the steps.
Complaining that they are too long and creating another post to complain some more will get you no where and you're probably better off not rooting your phone until you can understand the instructions.
This was my first root, and although HTC phones are supposed to be harder to root, I accomplished it without a hitch thanks to the instructions so please be patient and take the time to read through all the posts.
If the Superguide is too hard for you, this whole thing isent for you

Honestly, if you're really gonna be this much of a baby about it, switch to a more popular phone, and head over to FreeYourAndroid.com. They have 24/7, and very easy to follow tutorials. Before you even go check for our phone, no its not on there. Hence why I said go grab a more popular phone.
As to how we lay out information here, its because its not for noobs to come and start diving into the world of android modding just like that. There is too much information, too many different (yet individually important) ways to do things, and too many different ROMs and the like coming way too fast to have it all posted in one place. General is for general knowledge things and any questions that don't involve a specific thread. Its a great place for noobs to hangout, learn the ropes, and find basic information. The Android Development forum is there for just that, Android development. So this is where all the ROMs, Mods, Root tricks, and the like go. That is an impossible amount of information to condense into one thread. Not to mention its not fair to the devs who deserve the credit for their hard work. On top of this, ROMs require different ways to be flashed properly. They have different directions, different issues, different fixes. It would be insanely stupid to consolidate information any more then we already have.
So if your gonna whine, then as I stated in the General Knowledge thread:
Don't flash ROMs, unlock your bootloader, ect.:
If you don't know what your doing, don't do it. If you don't want to take the chance, don't do it. If youre just going to whine, don't do it. Its the simplest solution to not making a mistake and staying stable.

XDA isn't for babies, and its not for noobs to start doing things straight out of nowhere. Don't get me wrong though, most of us have no issues showing you noobs the ropes. Although, if youre not going to even try and just gonna sit here whine wanting to be babied we won't care the least bit about you. So in conclusion -
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Mods pleaseclose this bs thread.
thanks

No it is not rude at all. Slapshot30 wrote a guide that was created into a sticky which explains how to root, put cwm recovery, flash a rom, etc. If you can't follow simple instructions (searching before posting) then this isn't for you.

I may have to register those and set up a redirect back to Google.com.
Chill out guys, damn, you all sound like some grumpy old men. I've been in PPC's when they had B/W screens back in the 90's and I don't get this angry when a new guy ask me some questions. We all had to start out somewhere.

People are very willing to help and most on here do but it's frustrating when someone wants something easier when he has already been directed to the post he needs in another thread before starting this one. The guide that Slapshot created is great and very easy to follow. If that guide is too difficult for you, you shouldn't be doing this stuff to your phone.

Rooting my HTC Vivid At&T on Android 4.0.3 ICS

Hi Guys,
Well switched over from the iPhone world to my HTC Vivid. As far as the iPhone goes I know pretty much everything there is to know. Now on my HTC I'm a little lost I've been reading through he forums for a couple days now and visited the HTC Dev site to Unlock Bootloader still can't figure it out a bit confused. If some would be nice enough to explain to a n00b with a Android I would appreciate it!
EA
Welcome! First watch this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEWa_lUd2bY&feature=youtu.be
It will tell you everything you need to know. It doesn't matter what rom you are flashing same instructions will apply that are in the video.
Second, you need to pick a rom to flash. There are several on the forums or you can also go here:

You have to sign up to see the vivid forums. Anyway, if you have anymore questions just ask and we will help!
There's also the Super Guide here.
