With this HBOOT you will not get S-OFF, however since it is unlocked, you can flash custom ROMs, you just need to flash the custom ROM's boot.img manually in fastboot mode. Please search and discover how to do this as it has been discussed and documented several times in this forum.

I also have HBOOT 2.00 and S-ON, but as tpblake says I can flash any ROM I choose. You don't have to have S-OFF to flash custom ROMs.
In fact I'm still uncertain why you need S-OFF at all....

[Q] Optus Incredible S Stock Rom for Hboot 2.00

I'm look for a Optus Stock rom to download for my Incredible S Hboot 2.00, i've tried installing the RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_Optus_AU_2.12.980.2_R_Radio_20.2803.30.085AU_3805.04.03.12_M_release_185028_signed it comes up error 155 that the ruu one the phone is newer then the one i'm trying to install. Is there a rom after this one, as this is the only one i can fined or is there any other way to installing a stock rom.

You could run my script or downgrade the main version manually, then rerun the ruu.
Edit: you will also have to lock the bootloader after you downgrade main version and before you run the ruu.

ok, I can relock the phone. But how do i reinstall a rom as when the phone is locked it only starts in the boot menu.

I don't know what you're asking. If my script worked and your phone is bootloader locked, just run the ruu in any mode.

Original poster, did you get this to work ?
I am trying to downgrade from 2.02.0002 and get the following when running the RUU process:-
"THE ROM UPDATE UTILITY CANNOT UPDATE YOUR ANDROID PHONE"
"PLEASE GET THE CORRECT ROM UPDATE UTILITY AND TRY AGAIN"
I notice you are on 2.02.0002 the same, but the link to 'All in One Noob Guide For Downgrade and S Off' actually says 2.00 and not 2.02.
Just wondering if you got the same issue as me and the poster who mentioned the link didnt see you said 2.02.
Thanks
Regards
Nigel

I was working with a user this week that was trying to use the script to downgrade HBOOT 2.02.0002 and it appears that the tacoroot exploit to get temp root does not work on HBOOT 2.02.0002, so the script is unable to run misc_version to change the mainver value to 2.00.0000, so therefore it will not work at the moment for a stock, unrooted phone.
You would have to resort to unlocking the bootloader at HTCDEV.com, install a custom recovery and then root the ROM in order to use the downgrade and gain S-OFF.

To flash recovery from 4ext recovery control, you need s-off. You will have to do the manual way, by entering this command 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.

If you have HBOOT 2.02.0002 and you unlock using HTCDEV.com you will be able to:
1. Flash a custom recovery.
2. Once you have a custom recovery you will be able to:
A. Root your current ROM by installing SU-3.1.3.zip
B. Flash a custom, rooted ROM.
So I believe that should answer your questions. You may now exit the maze.

Yes, I install the WE WANT ICS v4 ROM and now I have the root permission
At this point, what mean S-ON / S-OFF and what permits?

S-ON/S-OFF is used to reference the Security flag setting in the phone. If you have Security Off, then you can flash almost everything to your phone, including a new radio.
With an unlocked bootloader like you have, you can flash some of the same items as S-OFF with the 2 biggest exceptions being:
1. You cannot flash a new radio.
2. The boot partition is not mounted as R/W when in Recovery mode, thus the reason you manually have to flash the boot.img while in FASTBOOT USB mode.

The device you pick from that drop-down does not have to match your device exactly. All that does is shows you the appropriate instructions you need to follow. The process will have you generate a device token based on your actual phone that you send to HTC to get an unlocked token, so just pick one of the IncS in the drop-down to get started on your journey.

[Q] HTC ONE back to Stock (Locking bootloader and removing root)

So i need to sell my phone because of several cash flow reasons. :crying: The person who is buying off me doesnt want the phone to be rooted. I tried looking for a back to stock thread but found nothing so far, or i am not looking hard enough.
So i just need the root to be gone and the bootloader to be locked as it was. How do i do that? Your help is greatly appreciated. I got a day to settle all this

I know that if you can get a Windows Vitual machine running on Mac you can do it.
Then when the RUU is running you can search for the ROM
Check it out. I know if you use the HTC one AIIO toolkit you can flash the extracted data to your device. Even the recovery.img from a stock RUU.
Let me know how you get on

Lock the bootloader with revone and flash a RUU (European or WWE), like this one http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...13323127-1031113105-release-310878-signedexe/, then run revone and remove tampered message (if you have that) in bootloder but i would keep S-Off if i we`re you forever.

Unfortunately it comes up with this, and then fails at updating a while later. Turns out my hboot is 1.54 so I can't use revone right?

I remember there is a method of tricking the ruu in to thinking the device is older.if I'm not mistaken it's the changing of the cid
But someone would need to verify that one

You probably need S-Off for that right? I'm on the 1.54 hboot and the s-off method only works on 1.44 I think.
The thing is, I just noticed factory reset did not remove root.. So i'll try to unroot it first and then run the update agaib.
