I want to S-OFF it and put on the CyanogenMod 7.
How do I do this? The only thing stopping me from as far as I know is the HBOOT version (it is too new) therefore I cannot S-OFF yet...
I've seen a thread around that I can make a goldcard and flash with a stock ROM but does it change your HBOOT (as-in downgrade it?) so I can flash...
thanks
I'm quite new to all this but i'm able to pick it up quite easily... thanks

That is the key question. With the new HBOOTs that HTC has released for other devices, including the Verizon Incredible 2, the HBOOT cannot be downgraded with the phone in S-ON state when you try to run an older RUU or load an older ROM.zip, so it may be the same with the IncS HBOOT 1.16.
You can give it a try and report back.
I'd rather not try, as I don't know what im really doing. apparently there is a new 2.3.5 sense 3.0 rom coming out so ill jusyt install that. I'm refreshing the revolutionary page 5 times a day.

Revolutionary
I used revolutionary and it worked like a charm!
arghh!! stop making me jealous!! well because the HBOOT is too new
It would be really good if someone found a way to downgrade this phone

Wow... I bought my Incredible S from Virgin about 5 days before you did, and I got the old HBOOT version which Revolutionary supports. Looks like you got the short end of the stick there.
Have faith in the Revolutionary guys and gals. They will find a solution. Then you can join us in the S-Off club! Breathe deep, and keep refreshing that page!

Ok guys,
I've scoured the forums, I've found a number of methods to use but the most up to date one states that even it is out of date and there are easier ways to do this.
I have an HTC Incredible S running Android 2.3.3 (yeah, I know).
Someone post me a link to what they believe is the best method for S-OFF and ROOTING.
Many thanks!

It depends what your h-boot is...

So no way to S-OFF HBOOT 1.16? The second link makes it seem plausible...
Any thoughts?
1.16 must have a custom Rom flashed to obtain root.
in other words follow the newbs guide to root hboot 1.16 exactly and you won't have any problems however you will not be able to stay stock.

That's fine with me. I definitely want to flash a different ROM so it's no issue if I cannot use the STOCK ROM any longer.
What ROM would you guys recommend I use? People seem to be using Cyanogen more than anything else with this device.
Opinions?
Thanks!

I used alpharevx and its been great. I like that you can still go back to s-on if something goes wrong and you need warranty
I updated my Incredible S, not knowing that it would change my HBOOT version. I was on stock 1.16.0000 for ages, until I found this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373697
I was able to create a goldcard and downgrade to a s-off-able HBOOT version and s-off using revolutionary.io
These guides should help with revolutionary and flashing a new ROM

Now I have S-off and root and I'm running Virtuous affinity 1.48
I would recommend downgrading because using the HTCdev method doesn't give you full access to flashing things

I am @ 1.13, with S-off, unlocked, rooted and CM7. And reason to upgrade HBoot?
I have read other device forums, but did not see anything for this one.
Is you phone working how you want it to/efficient ?
Only reason to upgrade your hboot would be to cause frustration.
Lol... Yeah its fine.

Then why change or tamper with something you can't see or feel benefit from lol.
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
The only reason I see to upgrade hboot is to complicate things for yourself and make htc happy that you have to use there htcdev tool to unlock it again. That way they will always know if you have void your warrenty.
I just wasn't sure what, if any new functionality the newer hboots bring. Thanks all.

Hi, just came across this post and saw that you have HBOOT 1.13 and are rooted.
Could you pass on the directions link from where you got the instructions, been searching a lot but I mostly find all the methods deal with HBOOT 1.16 AND 2.0.
My Inc S is HBOOT-1.13.0000 with RADIO-3805.04.03.27_M.
Would be a real help if you could point me in the right direction.

Did you happen to come from a Froyo rom? If so you'll need to flash a new radio. Froyo radios don't work with ICS.

You did not search properly!
what custom Rom are you running as per your post you just have an unlocked bootloader.
Read the stickies ? You'll find all solutions!
Beastmode
Redux
Amidha Buddha's
Huntervu
There are lots... Some are specific to roms and some are universal
Tip: before all the posts you will find [kernel]

The Vivo_W is the Droid Incredible 2/CDMA IncS, so you really should be asking in the Droid Incredible 2 forum.
Download your kernal zip and putit in your sd card then enter recovery and install zip from sd card

Since you have BlackRose HBOOT, the procedure to go back to S-ON and prepare your phone for an official HTC RUU is documented in the BlackRose thread; you just need to search, read and study before you begin.

The information you need is located on the first post. When you uninstall BlackRose, it will replace it's S-OFF HBOOT with HTC stock HBOOT 1.13. Then you are ready to run an official HTC RUU.
