I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me in my quest to install the OTA update for the Incredible S to 2.3.5, sense 3.0.
I have previously rooted, back in the Summer of this year so think it would have been Alpha or Revoked. Have tried a couple of things to restore S-On in order to run the stock update.
I have tried several methods to flash a new HBOOT, including flashing the OTA from Sense and the bootloader, and have tried to flash a new PG32IMG as well.
Most recently I have extracted a Rom.zip from a working Incredible S/Vivo RUU, and tried to put on the Hboot from this after running the Vivo Downgrade.img - for both of these I keep getting "Can not roll back hboot version" on the bootloader screen after pushing to the device with FASTBOOT.
Since installing the PG32IMG.zip I tried, I have changed to Vivo PVT SHP S-OFF RL on the bootloader. The other details are:
HBOOT - 700.1000
RADIO - 3805.04.03.22_M
eMMC - boot
Other than having S-Off and being rooted, I am running Stock 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I'm going wrong, or what Hboot I can flash to overcome this please!
Is your Inc s locked to a network or did you get it sim free, that could be a problem you might be having. If you went from a custom rom to stock rom did you use the correct ruu to go to rom which is right for your country.
The phone itself is sim free. I used an RUU that was as similar to the OTA update naming as possible:
RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed

Since you are S-Off using Revolutionary, the Revolutionary HBOOT is preventing you from overwriting it so you won't lose S-Off. If you truly want to return to a stock ROM then you need to follow this procedure:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15732727&postcount=14
I've followed the method on there, but not convinced I have the full SDK suite installed, so might be worth me retrying once I have.

Im qurently testing different ROM's and at the moment im using the stock Gingerbread ROM (2.12.405.7) and the phone is S-OFF and Rooted.
But when i made a check for software update from "Settings -> About phone" there was a update availebel with the version 2.30.405.1.
Does installing this update change S-OFF to S-ON or change anything to the ROOT of my phone?
I havn't been able to find anythng about this update, so does anybody have any info about it?
Sorry...
Just did a search in the Dev forum and found this thread.

With previous HTC models, trying to install an OTA update with a custom recovery installed will fail. You would need to flash the 2.12 recovery image in order to install the OTA, which will wipe out your custom recovery and unroot your phone.
If you achieved S-OFF by using AlphaRevX, then the OTA update could also wipe out your S-OFF HBoot.

Well, it makes sens, but i just wanted to be sure.
I havn't heard about this OTA update before so i was a little surprised it was there.

The RUU was posted this weekend so I downloaded, but the link appears to be broken now. I was trying to decide if this was an 'official' update or a 'leaked' test ROM, but since you got an OTA notification for it, then this must be an official RUU.
The ROM is still Android 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1 (I think people were hoping for 2.3.4 and Sense 3.0) and has the same HBOOT version 1.13 as 2.12 does. There have been some posts about people applying this RUU and then attempting to run AlphaRevX again to gain S-OFF, but it appears that no one has been able to regain S-OFF after running the RUU.
No way to root this RUU (confirmed bu alpharevx devs).
Same HBOOT but the "hole" is closed.
What about the XTC clips, i hope it still can S-OFF.
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.

ok, i will give it a try. but does this also explain why i cannot install the official 2.3.3 over the air upgrade of HTC? my phone tells me that the upgrade is available but fails to install the downloaded package

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!

Hi all,
I don't know why I've done this, but I want to revert. Because I've done a very big mistake!
I've flashed official sense 3.0 2.3.5 Gingerbread, but I wanted to gain S-Off. First, I've unlocked the bootloader by htcdev. It has successfully done. Then I flashed the recovery. And I tried restoring one of my older backups.
Now my phone is not opening. White screen shows then does nothing. I've a gold card. And tried re-flashing sense 3.0 rom but after loading PG32IMG.zip, Something like "No image or Wrong image" shows for a sec then it goes back to the fastboot menu. So, I cannot flash the same rom. I relocked the bootloader, so it's now RELOCKED S-On.
My mainver is 3.08.405, and I have two options:
* Flashing RUU with mainver 4.08.605.3,
* Or, Flashing RUU with mainver 5.10.605
I want the first one but I cannot access due to server meintenance. Can anyone upload the RUU again for me?
I don't want the 2nd one because it's HBOOT version is 0.98 which cannot be rooted. If anyone knows how to root IncS with that HBOOT or how can I upgrade HBOOT version to 1.13 or 1.16, greatly appreciated!
Please help.
Thx.
Never mind.

Thanks anyway.
I attempted to flash my UK Vodafone HTC One as I wanted Android Revolutiion HD ROM on my phone, i've sort of got half way and i'm not sure how to continue (or if I should)
So i've unlocked the bootloader, and flashed the clockwork recovery so my phone now says *TAMPERED*
It is still S-On and is on HBOOT 1.54 - having read around this cannot be done, right?
Also, one other quick question. If I ever wanted to go back to complete stock, how can I do this? I can't seem to find the RUU for my phone, and how would I remove *TAMPERED*
Here is my radio version: 4A.17.3250.14
ANY HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED GUYS! I've rooted other HTC's before but not the One yet
You can't go S-Off on 1.54
You could just flash the stock rom and stock recovery, which has the same result as an RUU/
Tampered is removed when you lock, but you can't remove -relocked- without S-Off
Thanks for your reply.
So what you're saying is in the situation I am in at the moment, I can't flash the ARHD ROM to my phone without being S-OFF first?
It's basically just a waiting game for S-OFF to become available for 1.54 and then I could just flash the stock ROM and recovery and then S-OFF to remove the TAMPERED or RELOCKED.
This will be just incase id ever need to send the phone off to Vodafone for whatever reason

I need to restore my phone to a version of stock android (either an actual stock RUU or Android Revolution or whatever) so that I can get to the UICC option to turn off my SIM card (this setting is not available in CyanogenMod apparently).
Because I am on a newer firmware and because I am S-ON I do not seem to be able to install any of the (mostly older) RUUs I have found. Any suggestions? Is there an RUU for 4.06.651.9 that I am not seeing? Is there another way to roll back my OS to allow an older RUU to be installed? Another option altogether? A way to S-OFF while on CM?
Thanks for your help

you can use this then take the OTA updates
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_sprint_3-04-651-2-zip/
Is this the 3.04.651.2 RUU? If so, I already have a copy, and when I attempt to run the ARUwizard I get Error 155. Most likely I am doing something wrong. I just assumed that since I am already on 4.06.651.9 that the problem was I couldn't install the older 3.04.651.2 version. Thoughts?

This is exactly the same issue I'm experiencing. Well, now I'm even beyond this point... I am only able to boot the phone to the bootloader.
Edit: I am relocked as I am S-ON. I can't update firmware as the signature check fails. Flashing the 3.04.651.2 zip has a signature verify fail, as well.
Hope this helps

If you can still boot to bootloader your phone is fine. You should still have recovery (TWRP?) on your phone I assume. Regardless here are some steps that should help:
1. Figure out if you are S-ON (is found on the bootloader screen)
2. If you are S-ON, try Rumrunner to get S-OFF (just google it). This will allow you to install any RUU regardless of your firmware.
3. If Rumrunner doesn't work or you don't want to go to S-OFF then download the 4.06 RUU here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658910
The problem is your firmware is ahead of the corresponding firmware of the 3.X release. As such you have to install from the newer RUU.

Actually, it seems that the phone is wiped; I can't boot my recovery. As a result, I can't really get S-OFF. I'll try the 4.06 RUU, but would it make a difference that it's .4 and not .9?
EDIT: I'm talking out of my ass right now. Long day, and this isn't helping. I am figuring it out; unlocked the bootloader, and now things seem to be functional. Well, except CM doesn't seem to want to boot any longer, but that shouldn't matter for long.
EDIT 2: How can I get S-OFF without enabling debugging? As of right now, CM is just in a boot loop.

I almost cannot believe how many different ROMs I've tried to flash after wiping out my original ROM.
Bootloader unlocked and rooted I managaged to relock the bootloader while trying to fastboot flash a stock ROM, which also failed.
Beleive it or not, I've have found a couple that will boot up with my Sprint HTC One Max . I was able to re-unlock the bootloader, flash a new rom and even recover user data I had backed up to my PC via adb backup.
All this for not, as I still cannot find a Sense ROM that will flash on my device and allow me to unnlock the Sim via Sim Unlock Helper.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
