How did you root? Did you use AlphaRevX to gain S-OFF and then root? If so, then you can unroot by running a RUU or flashing a ROM.zip file of an official HTC ROM.

Yes, I used AlphaRevX.
Do you know how can I get the RUU for the incredible S? I couldn't find it in htc's site.
Thank you.

Hello
I used the AlphaRevX process to root my Incredible S. If now I run an RUU, does it format all my data and programs installed?
I need to unroot because there is a new OTA for Gingerbread which I cannot install (it gives me a white triangle with a questione mark)
Thanks

Yes, usually running an RUU will wipe your data and programs.

Since you are rooted currently, you can use Titanium Backup to back up your apps. Also My Backup Root will allow you to back up apps and their data, so either one of those is an option before you try running the RUU.

I know its not a reply but can you tell me where you got the instructions to root the phone?

[Q] after alpahrevx can I install RUU?

I had to use a goldcard to change my ROM from asian to Optus. Of course that wiped all my settings. But I was able to successfully S-OFF. So from what I am reading, most people backup their ROM after sucessfull S-OFF. But I don't need to backup OPtus stock do I?
So should I install the world edition RUU now and make some small personalizations and then back it up with clockwork mod? Do I still need the goldcard for RUU even if I am S-off?
Or should I just go to a custom ROM at this point and not back anything up?

Running an RUU at this point would undo the S-OFF. You are better off installing ClockworkMod and then flash a custom ROM.

Right on! I had forgotten about that post. Thanks.
Thanks I am on world edition now . I got a couple of random questions.
What's a popular browser that the custom Rom guys use?
How do I know if the version of clockworkmod I installed supports ext4?
I have some apps on my SD card, but they are not visible on my apps after installing new roms. Can I get them to show up again or how do I wipe the installation since its no longer used?

[Q] how to s-off incredible s

i have already update via OTA my incredible s to software number 2.30.707.1 and android version 2.3.3. Now i'll want to s-off and root my incredible, but i cant find tutorial for do that, please help me....thanks
It's all over the forum. If u just do a search "how to s-off" ull find it. Failing that look at the first few posts in development section.

if you can't s-off with the latest rev, then it is more likely you will have to wait until someone finds another way around.... failing that you could wait for htc to release a their own way to unlock the bootloader, but i wouldnt hold my breath.
my bad....i have done made goldcard and when i try Run "ruu_vivo_gingerbread_s_virgin_mobile_au_2.12.981.2 _r_radio_20.2803.30.085au_3805.04.03.12_m_release_ 185029_signed" i have the error report and the proses stopped.

I don't think you can downgrade the rom from version 2.30.707.1 to 2.12.981.2.
Correct me if i'm wrong.

That is correct, you cannot downgrade using a RUU with S-ON.

Which ROM did you flash? Did you follow the complete instructions concerning wiping/system reset before you flashed? If you search the ROM thread, there is probably a post with a script file that will disable the Overclocking/Undervoltage settings that can cause this issue.

There is no simple one-click solution, but check out nonverbose's Downgrade Script for a easy to use tool that will allow you to get true S-Off and total freedom.
I am not looking for simple 1click method, just the simpliest method...
So if you could, I would appreciate linking to a guide for your suggestion..
I guess the simpliest methode is to unlock your bootloader by using htcdev.com (will wipe your device), then flash CWM and the latest Superuser.

Could some explain me the nonverbosescript method, from what I've heard, it may be close to easiest.
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373697 you can read about it. After downgrading you can root with Revolutionary. I also started with that as a newbie, but it was very easy. But for me downgrading didn't work with windows vista with Windows 7 there had been no problems.
Good luck

Why did you relock it?
You need to restore a stock ruu or it won't boot, you can unlock it, flash a complete stock package and relock.

The better way if you want to come back to RUU it's to use the simple way via fastboot. It's really easy.
But first you need to know and find the good RUU for your One.
I invite you to read and use this guide, I think that you will find exactly what you need.

But you need to find the good version of the RUU for your device.

well, after getting back to stock you can always repeat the same steps to gain root access again ---> remove whatever apps you don't like

Desire 628 hboot or hosd needed

Hello everyone. I'm attempting to assist @arindambag recover his device from a soft brick.
If anyone with a rooted Desire 628 (2PVG) could provide a dump of their hboot or hosd, it would be greatly appreciated.
The version doesn't matter. It is only needed to generate a key file for the RUU extraction tool.

It seems that some people were able to root with Kingroot on the originally released rom, but, as far as I know, there's no way to root yet after updating.
With no custom recovery (yet), root will not be possible unless another vulnerability is discovered.

Then is there any process to go back to the original rom? I mean revert this update? If we flash the original stock rom before update? Then we will be able to root it with KingRoot

If you can s-off, you should be able to use any RUU for your phone or change regions with a CID change, but I'm not that familiar with the HTC mediatek devices, though.

None so far. I really need an hboot for your model. Or images, or anything really...
It is really difficult to support without the phone or images.

Since Tathyajit has the same model and also in working condition, can we extract the hboot or system image file from his phone and check? Just a thought. In that case, we need to guide Tathyajit how to do that, if required.
Without root permission,is it possible to extract hboot and system image file.
@Tathyajit: Please share your getvar info so that we can know the model and version of your phone.

No, root or custom recovery would be required to get an hboot image.

If you can find a way to get root on your device, I'll be able to provide instructions to extract what I need to decrypt the RUUs for all Desire 628s. Unfortunately, without root and no custom recovery available at this point, the only way to fix @arindambag's phone is via a RUU that is not available (yet).
Need help please, could able to install the RUU for version 1.17.400.1 and the phone also started successfully, but suddenly the phone went off and now it's not starting. I tried all combinations of Volume Up, Down, Power, etc. but could not able to start. Once the charger is connected, pressing the Power button shows the Battery icon once and then again the phone goes off. Pressing combinations of hard buttons, I could able to listen in my PC that connecting/disconnecting sound is coming but nothing getting displayed in the screen.
At one point of time,the HTC logo screen did come but the phone again going to the black screen.
Any suggestions would really help me.
Check this if you could find what you need
I have root via kingroot on a purchased outright medtech HTC desire 628. If you tell me how to go about getting any info that would help let me know.

Its really simple mahn... Just download TWRP builder. Grant root access and upload your boot image. Make sure you have backed up your current boot.img . When the custom twrp recovery is ready, the app will let you know. For me, it didn't work. Then I contacted the developer and he did some tweaks and sent the recovery for the second time. And it worked!
