Hi !
incsfree a tool to gain radio S-OFF, SuperCID and (hopefully) SIM-unlock is available for beta testing.
The documentation of incsfree can be found at incsfree wiki
The tool itself can be found in the attachments of that page or using the direct link incsfree_02.zip
There is currently no HOW-TO guide for the Incredible S but the procedure is very similar to the procedure for the HTC G2/DZ/DHD that can be found at the wiki page of the vision Rooting the Vision (G2/DZ) and DHD. The differences are that you will use incsfree instead of gfree and that you have to use the engineering hboot image and recovery image for the Incredible S. (Please make sure that you use the right versions for the Incredible S)
If you intend to use incsfree i would like to invite you to join the irc channel #G2ROOT on freenode. I will not be available for the next 2 weeks but there are other capable people who will assist you using incsfree (especially pierre_ja and Nipqer are very helpful and capable guys).
You can use incsfree also in case that you already used alpharev or revolutionary to gain "fake" S-OFF by the patched hboot.
Warning The SIM-unlock feature has not been tested at all on an Incredible S. I am rather confident that it will work but if you want to use it, please do that only being assisted by people from #G2ROOT.
incsfree has only been tested on Software number: 1.36.405.1
It might be that it works on higher versions too or that the phone can be downgraded so that you can use it.
incsfree is released under the GPL v2. The source is linked on the incsfree wiki. Please respect the license !
Have fun - Guhl

thanks for your effforts
I tried this on My GB updated Inc S. but it fails to reboot emmc, tried downgrading to froyo and got stuck in bootloop, is there anyway to downgrade to 1.36.405.1?
Can someone tell me if this should work in theory? (or if someone has done this) since apparently this S-Off tool only works on the old froyo 1.36.405.1 rom which means most people would have to somehow downgrade from Gingerbread to use it...
My idea-
1. Use Revolutionary to gain soft S-Off
2. Take the 1.36.405.1 PG32IMG, edit the android-text file in it to raise the main version to what my phone is currently running which is: 2.28.666.3. (So when the PG32IMG is flashed through Hboot, it thinks the 1.36.405.1 rom is actually 2.28.666.3) Hboot will allow the modified android-text file since the phone is now S-Off from Revolutionary.
3. Flash modified PG32IMG 1.36.405.1 rom through Hboot
4. Run Incsfree to get radio S-Off.
Anyone think this will work? I want to try it but I am afraid of getting stuck in a bootloop or a brick...

Hi!
Sorry I am on holidays so i can not go into details.
The way it would work is similar to the downgrade of the G2/DZ/DHD/MT4G as described in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
As you see instead of changing the stock rom zip (which will not work because it would break the signature) we change the main version in the misc partion 17.
I do not know if fre3vo will work to give you temp root on your firmware version but the first thing you will need is a way to temp-root.
If you do use revolutionary before downgrading it does not hurt.
I will be back in about a week and would be happy to assisst you.

Ok hopefully you can help figure this out when you're back. I used the guide in the other thread and downgraded the partition 17 main version on my incs to 1.00.000.0. I then tried to downgrade to the froyo rom but got stuck in a bootloop after it finished. I ran the gingerbread RUU to get the phone to boot again and then tried flashing just the froyo radio via fastboot after changing the main version again but that also got me stuck in a bootloop...

I downloaded the incsfree.zip in the original post but on my windows 7 machine it won't open. Any ideas?, sorry for asking simple questions but I am so lost when it comes to HTC devices. I really just want to get this phone unlocked so I can try it out. I have no idea which provider is on it but it says it is sim locked.
I have no idea what S off is, or how to unlock and root this thing (Incedible S PG32120). Thanks for the help.

Hi !
You won't run that from the micro-sd but from /data/local/tmp (please see the G2/DZ link in the first posting).
I would suggest that you try to find me on #g2root (see the first posting) so that i can assisst you.
If you do have a gingerbread release on the incredible s incsfree will not work.
Especially if you use it to remove the sim-lock please try to find me on #g2root as this feature is totaly untested and i would like to accompany you during that.

Thought you might like to know it's now open, have fun
You're on XDA , welcome back. Great to see the public open beta is out too!
But...! It seems to be only for Hboot 1.x.x users!! If i have bootloader v 0.80.0007, i can't get s-off???
I have some trouble obviously after getting S-off, how do you root then on froyo ?
Unrevoked tells me firmware could be too new... I'll go through their FAQ perhaps some answers are there xD
S-off Process is flawless
You guys Rock !! Thanks !
great great news!
2morrow morning i will s-off my gf's wildfire!
can anyone post the step one by one? cz i dont really get. After i opened the alpharevx -> put the code-> Acquiring root (method 1) ...... unknown command
Then nothing
IT WORKEDDDDDD!!!! thanks to alphareev team

0.80 was not the problem ,we had root or close
Anyway its worth updating your hboot with an official froyo (now)
i like the orange text and my new ability to flash a screen
thanks to alpha
Hi, how long will this public beta be?
Could use at step by step instruction?
I boot into HBOOT and run alpharevx.exe, a command prompt opens telling it's "Waiting for device"??
About a week ago I tried running Unrevoked, which ended up with the known error about hardware being to new - so I'm sure I have the correct HBOOT usb-driver.
I'm on 64-bit Windows at the moment - could it be that??
Please, anyone advice??
EDIT:
This was a question from a newbie early in the morning :d - Solved!
The utility should be run with Android loaded, not i HBOOT mode, and it helps enabling USB-debugging
After getting S-OFF I followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
Finally I flashed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957140
I feel pretty fine right now
Alpharev team promised at begining S-OFF for hboot 0.80.. Why they have not released it?
Some Questions to those who know.
I'm currently on HBOOT 0.80.XX having Rooted Hybrid Rom V6.
1. Do I need to update to HBOOT 1.00X to be able to use Alpharev X - if not - which option should I choose in dropdown menu on Alpharev X Beta page..? As it only shows two options - both being 1.00X
2. Do I need to Re-Root after alpharev X - or will my previous root stay (if I can use it without updating to HBOOT 1.00X)
3. Again - Do I need to Re-Flash Rom after alpharev X - or will my previous rom stay (if I can use it without updating to HBOOT 1.00X) *prays*
4. Can I use a (Fastboot) Clockworkmod that still uses Amend - rather than edify? Or is there one that can support both? As I quite dislike edify.
5. Will my old Clockworkmod be overwritten? (2.5.0.7)
I posted these questions in a few places as I haven't the faintest clue - which one is the right place to post them in...apologies for that.

So you're telling me to update my phone with the last ruu, this will update my hboot as well, then i use the alpharev tool and then i root again?
0.80 still does not have S-OFF so this is a problem!
Hello,
Here is a short Guide to get S-OFF if you are at HBOOT 0.80:
1. Make a full Backup of your current ROM.
2. Download RUU Buzz Froyo HTC WWE 2.22.405.1 Radio 13.55.55.24H 3.35.20.10 release 160191 signed.exe
3. Connect your Plhone to your PC and Install it, after 10 minutes you are on HBOOT 1.01.0001
4. Download Alpharev follow the instructions and install.
Now you are S-OFF!´
You ony have to Restore your ROM and enjoy!
Sorry for my bad English.
1. not sure, but i did and it worked, i used
RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2_22_405_1_Radio_13_55_55_2 4H_3_35_20_10_release_160191_signed.exe
from
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?ca...ile&model=Buzz
2.yes, follow this to get clockworkmod installed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680
ur phone needs to be in hboot 4 this to work
3. as far as i can tell not by defoult, but u installed ruu so yes
4. not sure, but i think there shouldnt be a broblem
5. if u run ruu, yes, hence fastboot method
i did a nand backup, installed ruu, ran alpharev, fastbot flash recovery, restoring nand backup as i type, and thats it.
another thing i was careful about is after nand backup, i switched to original sd card, so the ruu wouldnt put sense and other stuff on my primary sd. i switched back after flashing recovery. gl
Thank you!
I keep trying to enter my beta key and it says the key is invalid :S:S
Hmm I just flashed my phone with the new Hboot, ran alpharev and installed clockwork.
It worked perfectly, so maby you are somehow entering the wrong code...
Anyways It worked like a charm for me

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.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
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.

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.
I've just purchased a IncS (optus au branded) it has 2.3.3 2.34xx build .. I have been searching various forums,threads,etc and its all seems conflicting I've read a goldcard downgrade will&winter work .... Also super one click ?? Yes with s-on .. I guess it was a soft root at best and s-on no SU after reboot ... Just want to know if its being worked on ... No ETA just so I can trade off to a Rom able model ... Cheers
Edit: should have titled Any working 16000 S-off.
I'm in the same situation...But I think Revolutionary is working on it.
To my knowledge, there are 2 options available at the moment:
- Hboot unlock from HTC Dev website, this only unlocks the Hboot, not the Radio...So you'll experience all sorts of issues with wifi/BT etc
- Goldcard, which is a bit fuzzy at the moment...with a huge risk of bricking the phone. Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254005&page=4
me to...i thought i want to using gold card...but worries might get brick
Revolutionary will work. just might crash when installing the recovery img. just re launch revolutionary and it will re download again. i just did it few days back.

So you are telling us that you have the latest OTA applied and are running HBOOT 1.16.0000 and you successfully ran Revolutionary and achieved S-OFF? Can you show us a screen shot of your HBOOT screen?
I also have seen goldcard method to dgrade back to a earlier WWE... Almost committed (about to 3combo) when glanced a further post 16000 has new sig checks ... And will not install old firm .. apparently ... Also there was very questionable post of someone claiming to have achieved SU with S-On using 1 click.... I've @ Curio about this because I used 1 click ,adb together on lG with new fota .. I'm hoping a 16000 solution has been found or at least that there's devs looking into it ....
Yes ANY STILLSHOTS OR VIDS proving a successful SOFF I will THANK everyday for a year lol ...
Also thanks to everyone putting in there views,expirience's .... Hopefully a pooled effort will yield a positive result ... This is the only phone I haven't had SU over and I feel a little like I'm being cheated (well we are lol ) ... Also I hear a XTC clip won't help either .....
Also I apologize to veteran IncS forum members ... IncS my latest purchase so I'm just trying to get up to date on dev. Any news of HTC pushing ICS to IncS ? I have read yes then no ... HTC need better customer service structure oneday...... Bwhahahaha sure..

First since you now have HBOOT 2.00.0000 your only option currently is to begin by unlocking the bootloader using the procedure at HTCDEV.com.
Next you would flash a custom recovery so that you can install the latest SU-3.0.x.zip.
I suggest you do some more research and reading about these 3 steps before attempting it.

Goldcard will only let you use an RUU from a different carrier. To downgrade you need to change the main version which can only be achieved with root access.

+1 we had 2.3.3 then got ota to 2.3.5 now we got 4.0
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
We are actually quite fortunate with all the updates we have received
I think something you can try is to run the ruu for your correct region/Cid
Pretty sure its safe, can someone confirm?

What is your Hboot version too?
If you want to root, now would probably be a good time if you Hboot is compatible with revolutionary
Unless you can find a ruu or ota that is compatible, which I don't know
If you don't want to root you need to find an ruu or ota that works with your phone (I have no experience in doing this)
Another thing you could do is make a goldcard and flash any ruu (I did this)

Yes, you can run the ruu
I don't know which one, either someone else can tell you or you need to research
Just ask someone get before doing it, to be sure, I don't know sorry

You should probably start by installing CID Getter from the market to determine what region your phone is made for. After that, it will be easier to determine which RUU you need to get you up and running. Post your CID here and maybe we can find the correct RUU for you.

i already hav an OTA file for the indian version but from one of the threads but dint know hw to use the file to update my phone....
The problem with OTA files is that they are incremental and are only meant for going from specific versions of software so the fact that you are on such on old version, it is highly unlikely that any OTAs are available, hence you need to flash a full RUU of either the most up to date or at least a much newer release.
As an example, I flashed the Virgin AU RUU that's available on here but it's too old to receive OTA updates. I then used a backup of the software that was on my phone when I bought it and that received an update within seconds of turning on.
So you will need to determine what your CID is and then you will be able to get a newer RUU that will allow you to start receiving OTA updates.

Once again, please put the phone in FASTBOOT USB mode and then run the command:
fastboot getvar all
and post the results. This will give us all of the information to help guide you in the right direction.
The problem with an OTA is that it is upgrades you from one specific version to another, so if you don't have the right version to start with, an OTA will not help you.
