http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-s-off-htc-incredible-s-alpharev-hack-tool/
Hope anyone help me out..
I easily got s-off on my HTC desire S..

(For Example, on some Indian/Asian HTC Incredible S phones, this tool would get stuck here and the process won’t start. They need to install Optus RUU first in order to make this tool run — I’ve done the same, actually, on my Indian Incredible S. So, if it gets stuck, maybe, there is a problem with your phone then — better Google it. Good luck!).

There's your problem. You need to create a Goldcard and flash an RUU that's compatible with AlphaRevX and then try again.

from Revolutionary
Optus RUU 2.12.980.2 / Virgin RUU 2.12.981.2 .. Most Incredible S ROM versions with Gingerbread have been patched. If your Gingerbread version is lower than 2.12.980.2, then use the Optus/Virgin RUU with a goldcard to upgrade to Optus RUU 2.12.980.2 / Virgin RUU 2.12.981.2, then you can use Revolutionary. .. Versions higher than 2.12.980.2 will have to wait until
a new temproot is released. Known patched versions lower are: 2.12.720.5 and 2.12.774.6 and probably all 2.12.7*.*

Special thanks to JohnAnderton on this info :
If AlphaRevX isn't working for you (kept "hanging" at Step 2 i.e. attempting to get root). This was because AlphaRevX doesn't work with certain carrier variants are GingerBreak patched
It didn't work for me on the India/Asia version.
To check your software version, go to settings > about > software version > build version. If it says 2.12.720.5, I'm sorry but you'll have to do the Optus/Virgin AU ROM installation.
Here are the steps to do that:
1) Download the Optus ROM (261 MB)
2) create a gold card
3) run the ROM installer and wait for it to extract, go to your tmp folder (start > run > %tmp% > sort by date > see newest folder > dig in deep and find rom.zip)
4) take rom.zip and put it on your SD with the name PG32IMG.zip
5) Reboot your phone into boot loader (this can be done by switching your phone off, waiting 5 seconds, turning your phone on with the volume down pressed). It will see that you have PG35IMG.zip so it will verify and install it. It will come to the boot loader again and once it's done installing it will load the OS (the regular HTC white page followed by Optus' logo. Once you're in the OS, remove PG32IMG.zip

theres a new update with revolutionary and you can now s-off the htc inc s with gingerbread.
it took me 3 mins to s-off

Ok. Let me clear this out (once again).
AlphaRevX does not work on all versions. Versions known not to work at include the stock OTA GB upgrade that Indians (such as myself) got and 2.30.xx and some versions above.
Why doesn't AlphaRevX work everywhere? Because HTC patched the temp root exploit gingerbreak used (AlphaRevX uses gingerbreak in step 2).
Use Revoluionary. It uses a different temp root method and for now, works on all (as far as I know) versions of HTC Inc S.
http://revolutionary.io
How do you use it? The same way you always used AlphaRevX?
Want a tutorial.. you really should use search but meh, here you go..

And if you would have looked decently well, you would have found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14865832&postcount=32 which clearly states that AlphaRevX doesn't work on the Indian GB ROM (I know cause I was there on Day 1 of AlphaRevX going public). That post always gives a solution..
Anything else?
Yay, someone quoted me.. Thanks NikonElite

Hello everyone, this is my first post at XDA Devs. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this since there are lots and lots of infos in these forums.
However, although I have been reading for hours and keept on trying, I haven't been able to S-OFF my Incredible S. I hope someone can tell me what to focus on or what I might have missed.

John, you say this, but I am pretty positive that it somehow doesn't work on my phone.
Here's my situation:
I have a Windows 7 x64 system and a HTC Incredible S S710e phone with Android 2.3.3, HTC Sense 2.1 and the Software number is 2.30.405.1.
I live in Germany and that's where I bought my phone so I assume it has the European shipping ROM running.
I downloaded the Revolutionary tool from http://revolutionary.io/ and generated a beta-key. I disabled fast boot, enabled debugging, rebooted the phone and went into airplane mode. Still - the patch won't work. It's not like with all the other users that it gets stuck after a few minutes. It tells me "failed to get root " right after a few seconds. I tried this at least 25 times now in different combinations with AntiVir on and off, with airplane mode on and off, with Disk Drive mode and Charge Only mode. Always with the same "failed to get root" result.
So I found another solution: the GoldCard. That's what I did. I got a fresh SD Card, formatted it into FAT32. I created a goldcard image with my reversed CID via http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard and used the Hex-Editor to modify the values. I downloaded the Optus ROM [RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_Optus_AU_2.12.980.2_R_Radio _20.2803.30.085AU_3805.04.03.12_M_release_185028_s igned] from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922 but the HBOOT loader told me "Update failed - Main Version is older" or something like that.
In another thread, someone said I had to install the same or a newer software version of what I have. So I installed the same: 2.30.405.1. No error message, the Update was successful. But: the phone is still in S-ON. Well, it wasn't the Optus ROM after all...
My question is: which ROM do I have to install via GoldCard so that I can get S-OFF - either instantly or after then applying Revolutionary?
I'm very sorry if there is already the solution for this somewhere here but I used the search function genuinely and never found it. I'm not a forum noob - just to this one.
I have read these threads and guides:

Version 2.30.405.1 has been succesfully S-Off'd using Revolutionary. Did you also download and install the HTC Windows drivers from the Revolutionary documentation page?.

No, I have not.
I always read I had to install the latest version of HTC sync to get the drivers and then de-install the Sync program. But I didn't try any Revolutionary drivers yet.
Thank you for that tip, I will try tomorrow and give feedback.

to me it is the same, I bought my HTC Incredible S (s700e) on amazon and it came with unlocked and updated version gingerbread asian rom.
(RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.12.707.5_Radio_20.2805.30.085AU_3805.04.03.27_M_release_190036_signed).
I did the gold card and put the rom of Korea.
(RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_KT_KR_2.21.1010.4_Radio_20.2805.30.085AU_3805.04.03.27_M_release_194748_signed).
and now I can replace the rom that I had, says error [140]: error bootloader version, I wanted to put in s-off but I can not my phone is anchored to the korea rom that is not someone to make this happen?

Okay, I can't believe it just went so fast.
It turned out I had already downloded and used the drivers given in the revolutionary documentation. [can't put links here, I'm too fresh for this forum]
I tried it again with those but it didn't work. While I was re-reading the documentation, I noticed that a newer version of the revolutionary tool has been published since I first downloaded and tried it so many times.
My first version 0.3pre7 couldn't do it but the now available version 0.4pre4 did the trick!! My phone is now S-OFF!
It was so simple this time. Used the drivers mentioned above, downloaded the 0.4pre4 revolutionary and generated the beta key. Started the phone with enabled debugging, disabled fastboot and went into airplane mode. I deactiveted Windows Firewall and AVG AntiVir on my Win7 x64 PC. I started the tool, waited for 3 minutes for the phone to reboot a few times and after the success it even installed the clockmod recovery thingy.
Great work, AlphaRev and unrevoked. I will donate!!
Thank you also tpbklake for making me aware of the documentation again.

Go to the site http://revolutionary.io and read their documentation page completely. Install the appropriate drivers and then download the most current version and get a new beta key. Your HBOOT can be S-OFF using Revolutionary, you just need to follow the instructions completely.

install the latest htc sync and uninstall the htc sync alone keeping the drivers...now try the revolutionary step again..

Asian Incredible S S-OFF but I can't flash ROM (OTA/CWM) -> assert failed

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.

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!

Bricked again?

So got the Incredible S in the beginning of July and was very happy with it, beat the hell out of my old HD2 who got bricked Desided not to root this one cause it was already android and i didnt want to break the warranty. But then the 2.3.3 update came and i didnt recieve text and calls was dismissed. (it is an own thread about this issue on the forums) so i desided to try a rom from XDA to see if this could help solve the issue. It did not but i rooted the phone (S-off right?) and used it with GSM only.. today i talked with HTC support and got a hold of the RUU_Vivo_HTC_WWE_1.36.405.1_Radio_Radio_20.23.30.0 802U_38.02.01.11_M_release_172670_signed.. the cusomter support guy uploaded it and i installed it with the USB cable.. the installer said everything went fine.. the phone reebots.. boots to the HTC logo screen and turns off again.. and keeps on going in the same cycle..
I can get into bootloader, but when i press "power" to choose recovery it goes straight to the white htc screen again and reebots.. what to do now? Is this one dead also?
Tried rename RUU to PG32IMG and put it on the memory card.. still no luck it says "Bootloader - Bypasses"
"TP - Bypassed"
"TP - Bypassed"
Why? And still no luck tried with two signed RUU's now.. The bootloader says
Vivo PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT 6.13.1002
At least i want all the Revolutionary stuff gone.. Any idea? Im out of ideas right now.. Oh geez, it booted the 2.1.3 RUU.. nice.
But why would not the other room work? This is the one i have to get workin.. Any ideas?
Does the RUU got a radio in it? Please share this RUU cause I believe this is not avaible anywhere. I would give it a try then and report if I have issues.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
Yes I think it can be a radio conflict too, perhaps you downgraded it.
Here you go Please give a report if it work on your device
I also want to gain S-ON on my Incredible, used AlphaRevX Beta to get the S-OFF but i need it to be S-ON again, and i cant really fint the information on how to do it. These forums are amazing but very hard to navigate true, and find the information you are looking for.
Was thinking... You said you are S-OFF and then installed the 1.36 RUU. Possibly this RUU or ROM needs an older bootloader. Cause the bootloader cannot be overwritten (I assume you used Alpharev), the installation is aborted.
The newer RUU accepts the current bootloader and therefore is being installed.
I think, when you first downgrade your Hboot to the one that can be overwritten, the RUU should work and you can enjoy Froyo again!
So did it work ?

How to do this? Do i need to S-ON first? Or?

[Q] HTC Incredible S Stuck on HTC Logo

Hey guys, so this is my first post here on XDA, and being totally honest I am a complete noob who has no idea what technical terms mean. Terms like S-Off and H-Boot are all Greek to me. :/
Ok so I have an Incredible S which came with a custom ICS Rom. But since there's an official rom from HTC Dev I downloaded that, connected my phone to HTC Sync and ran the exe file. Everything went fine, the progress bar went on, but after the setup on my pc said that it was completed the phone just seems to be stuck on the HTC white screen. It was that was for over an hour and I knew something had gone wrong.
The rom that I downloaded was the NAM one.
I know how to get into the bootloader screen (power and volume down) and these are what I see there:
VIVO PVT **** S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.13.1002
RADIO-3831.19.00.19_M
eMMC-boot
Apr 1 2011,18:34:39
I thought I got a corrupted rom or something so I downloaded the WWE rom from HTC Dev as well, but when I extracted the rar file it's a whole load of folders and files I don't even know how to use, unlike the earlier NAM file which was a simple exe. What worries me more is that I have no idea how to even connect the phone to my USB and get a rom inside the SD card so I could flash it through the bootloader.
I went through so many threads on this forum but like I said, I don't really understand all the techy terms. :/
Many apologies, but I'd really appreciate a walkthrough on how I can get my phone to work again.
Present status with the phone is that it won't get past the HTC logo screen and won't connect to the computer.
Please help!
Thank you!
Wrong forum, post in Incredible S Q/A

It was that was for over an hour and I knew something had gone wrong.
The rom that I downloaded was the NAM one.
I know how to get into the bootloader screen (power and volume down) and these are what I see there:
VIVO PVT **** S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.13.1002
RADIO-3831.19.00.19_M
eMMC-boot
Apr 1 2011,18:34:39
I thought I got a corrupted rom or something so I downloaded the WWE rom from HTC Dev as well, but when I extracted the rar file it's a whole load of folders and files I don't even know how to use, unlike the earlier NAM file which was a simple exe. What worries me more is that I have no idea how to even connect the phone to my USB and get a rom inside the SD card so I could flash it through the bootloader.
I went through so many threads on this forum but like I said, I don't really understand all the techy terms. :/
Many apologies, but I'd really appreciate a walkthrough on how I can get my phone to work again.
Present status with the phone is that it won't get past the HTC logo screen and won't connect to the computer.
Please help!
Thank you!

Your phone has the Revolutionary S-OFF HBOOT which is preventing the WWE RUU from running successfully. At this point, you have the new ROM installed, but it requires the stock HTC ICS HBOOT be in place to boot and run, thus the reason the phone gets hung at the HTC screen.
I suggest you reinstall a custom recovery such as 4EXT and then install mike1986's ARHD ROM. This is based on the latest HTC ICS ROM that you have attempted to install, but has a number of performance tweaks.

Will you not need Blackrose HBOOT as well?

Possibly. Although mike1986 has listed it on previous versions as being a requirement, it has run perfectly fine on Revolutionary HBOOT 6.13.

Hi tpbklake,
So I am new to this as well so bare with me. I have the exact same problem (WWE RUU not running because of Revolutionary S-OFF HBOOT) however I'm not sure how to go about implementing your solution. You see, I can open the bootloader however I can't get past it. Fastboot doesn't do anything for me. What can I do to get past this problem?

Do you have HTC Sync and the associated drivers installed on your PC? What OS are you running? It sounds like a driver issue to me.

I do have HTC Sync and I do have the HTC drivers installed. I'm running Windows 7. The problem is that HTC Sync nor my computer cant locate the device because the phone doesn't go past the bootloader screen. If I try to start the phone normally or in recovery mode it just freezes at the white htc screen.

OK, remove HTC Sync, but leave the HTC drivers installed.
Boot the phone into bootloader and then then select FASTBOOT from the HBOOT menu.
Then connect your phone with the USB cable and the phone menu should change to FASTBOOT USB.
Once you get that far, you should be able to flash a custom recovery using the command
fastboot flash recovery [name of the recovery.img file]
You should download the recovery.img file to your PC and put it in the same directory where you have the adb.exe and fastboot.exe.
THANK YOU

[Q] Unable to OTA update after HTCDev Bootloader Unlock

It's been awhile since I've messed with ROMs, and much has changed. I think I might have bit off more than I can chew, but hopefully it's a quick fix. I've been trying to scan for solutions, but so far no luck.
About a week ago I decided I was tired of avoiding apps that had crazy permissions and decided to get root on my phone so I could use AppOpps. I went through the HTCDev route and unlocked the bootloader. I got stuck when firewater, temproot & Weaksauce wouldn't work.
So, I relocked the bootloader (shows **relocked**) and figured I'd wait until someone pushed an updated tool. Got an OTA notice, and now I can't update the software. The update fails about 1/3 of the way through, going from green circled arrows to red triangled exclamation.
I've tried using fastboot to push the OTA ROM, but have had no success. I can flash the newest firmware successfully (as noted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2766604), but still no joy on the OEM ROM.
Do I really have to go to the trouble of flashing older firmware, downgrading the HBoot and ROM to an older version, etc.. to get up and running with a **locked** phone that will get OTA update?
Such a PITA to get control over my data/permissions.
Thanks in advance for help.
So just RUU and call it a day

Weaksauce does not work on the Sprint variants.
I would give Firewater another shot as s-off will save you headaches like this down the road. I would also suggest doing it before you update HTC has a way of making thing harder for us with every OTA.
If your phone is inoperable at the moment use this guide to get up and running.

At the moment, all I can find is an older RUU, not the latest/greatest.
I've found a Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_4.06.651.4_RUU download, but my phone is reporting Software version 4.06.651.9
Would this be close enough?

So far, the phone seems to be working fine, other than deleting my Amazon saved games
If I run the RUU as suggested: Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_4.06.651.4_RUU, will I still be in a good position to try firewater again?

That RUU won't work it's older then the software you are currently on.
Give firewater a try without using weaksauce

You are correct, the RUU did not work. It failed completely on Windows 8.1 x64, so I ran in on Windows 7 x64, and it stopped at about 4%. The phone screen was black with the HTC logo and it just stayed like that for over an hour (I took the dog for a walk).
The Boot reports the following:
*** RELOCKED ***
M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.57.0000
RADIO-1.01.20.0515
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-5.03.651.3
eMMC-boot 2048MB
May 15 2014, 16:31:22.0
Once the phone is booted up, the Settings->About reports the following:
Software version: 4.06.651.9
Android 4.4.2
HTC Sense 5.5
Can an OTA flash the firmware and die before updating the software?
Do I need to flash the firmware to match the reported software in the system?

I've never personally did an OTA so not sure.
If you use the guide I posted and use the 5.03.651.3 s-on firmware and rom it will be just like taking the OTA
OK, it took a little bit of research, because you probably assume most folks already know how to do this, but I got through your tutorial. Getting the latest TWRP was a bit confusing. At first I thought I had to have the TWRP app from the Google Play Store, which requires root, but then I found the TWRP page pointing to GooManager which automatically found the latest file and installed.
After that, it took a minute to figure out I had to go into HBOOT and select recovery to get the TWRP tool. I thought I was going to be using an Android utility to accomplish this (I guess I mean to say an app from the play store, not a BIOS like utility).
Lastly, for some reason the Android MyHTC driver died, so I had to manually remove and re-install. Re-running HTC Sync Manager install did not help. Once I got that figured out, I was able to adb push the file to the SDCard (Too bad one can't just drag and drop, but I'm guessing MTP dies with the flash?) and then load it from TWRP.
At the moment, I'm happy. I have the newer software and plenty to play with. I will give Firewater a try again, but I'm guessing it will be more difficult with the newest firmware/ROM?
I started with this guide a few days ago, but didn't push forward when I couldn't figure out the TWRP information. It might help to update that part of the guide, unless you want to avoid too many noobs getting into trouble.
Thanks for your help, and pointing me back in the right direction so quickly.

How to Upgrade HTC ONE M7 SENSE 6 (Un-rooted, SuperCID) to Lollipop?

Hey! guys, I think I may need your help because I'm a little bit confused and I don't want to take any step further, that's why I'm asking here to insure that nothing goes wrong.
so recently, I've bought an HTC One M7 from a user that has used it for only one month, I've checked the device for any root operations made to the device with Root Check App from Google Play, but I didn't find any, means it's un-rooted.
this is the software information of the device:
Android Version: 4.4.3
HTC Sense Version: 6.0
Software Number: 6.09.401.5
HTC SDK API Level: 6.25
basic information when I'm in the boot Menu (by Holding both Volume & and Power Buttons):
-Locked
-S-OFF
-CID: 1111111 [I guess it's commonly known as SuperCID (whatever that means)]
here's my problem: I've had headaches for 2 days searching and digging about how to Upgrade my HTC M7 to Lollipop, since I heared that it has released Officially for M7.
The OTA update isn't providing me any of any Software Update messages but this:
Software Update: 6.09.401.10 (197.42 MB).

I downloaded it and Installed it via OTA, but during the installation (when the device is on shutdown mode) there seem to be a loading cycle (similar to the sync icon) loading a progress bar, and suddenly! at the middle of the progression a Red Triangle appears, Indicating that the Update proccess is aported for some reason.
and there's no way I could make sure what to do, please, help me because I'm getting confused.

Your OS isn't 100% stock, thats why you are getting the error message saying that the update aborted. Updates can't be installed if the OS (/system partition) was modified. Your phone is S-OFF so someone did unlocked and tampered with it at some point and did not restored it back to stock properly.
At least it will be easy to fix. All you'll need is to flash the latest RUU for your phone which will bring it back to stock and update it at the same time. The version you need is 7.19.401.51. File and instructions in this thread (read post 1, 7.19.401.51 file at post #2)

Hey @alray ! thank you very much! atleast I know where to begin now.
I'm downloading now the RUU: 7.19.401.51 decrypted (s-off only) you've mentioned from the Post #2 of the Thread you gave me; there are two links actually with the same build number: one that is (s-off only), and the other is (signed). so, I've downloaded (s-off only).
since I'm a newbie to flashing, how to flash this RUU to my device properly?
-- Thanks Again.

The signed version would be better since it's the official one.
