Easy Guide to revert back to S-ON for warranty!

Hi guys, Once again this guide thread comes from the mixture of everyone suggestions and ideas to make your phone S-ON with shipped ROM for warranty!
Collected the following info from the thread, Not my own idea!
First install the ADB and SDK tools and folders, mainly install the Fastboot!
If u dont have fastboot enabled see this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot and this http://dottech.org/tipsntricks/21534/how-to-install-adb-and-fastboot-on-your-windows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/
First Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922 and install the shipped ROM which u had before .
Use this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18079795&postcount=1 to install the ROM, But this alone wont get you s-on when you do the process from the above link, Your phone will be Physically S-On but in the bootloader it will still show you s-off!
To change the bootloader to s-on then you need to follow the steps below,
1 . Now download this file from http://alpharev.nl/vivo_downgrade.img
2 . You should enable USB debugging mode, Turn your phone into FastBoot by unchecking the fastboot option in power settings
3 . Now your device will be switched off Remove your battery and insert it again.
4 . Now press (VOL DOWN + POWER Button) You will go into bootloader menu.
5 . When you boot into HBOOT, The first option is FASTBOOT. You select the menu options using the Volume Up/Down key. Once you select FASTBOOT menu, press the Power Button and it will take you to the FASTBOOT menu.
6 . Plug your USB cable in and the screen should change to FASTBOOT USB. Then on your PC, open a CMD window and change to the directory where you have installed the Android SDK tools, such adb.exe, fastboot.exe, etc. In the CMD window you would type the command:
fastboot flash hboot vivo_downgrade.img
7 . Wait for sometime, Then you would type the next command:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
8 . Now this is a tricky step, You should Select and open the ROM package you downloaded (But dont install) go to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Temp and at last folder find rom.zip
9 . You need to open the ROM.zip file and extract the file HBOOT.img from it and copy it to the same directory as the vivo_downgrade.img. Then you would type the command
fastboot flash hboot HBOOT.img
10 . Now again, wait for sometime type the next command:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
That's it you are back to s-on with stock !!!
You may check this by booting your device into BOOTLOADER , If it shows S-on, that's all You Performed the steps correctly!
If you are stuck at SECURITY WARNING BOOTLOADER because of missing some steps, Go to this following thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18706124&postcount=6
If you have a faulty USB port shake the usb cable it should definitely work at some angel, worked for me!

hI SATISH
if u revert back to s-on to update the latest OTA you cannot s-off ur device again because it comes with a newer bootloader.. To know which RUU you should install, then check with fastboot getvar all to know your mainver

Hi Santosh,
Thank you for the update, I had infact done the S-on ( dont know how i managed to do it, i was having the OTA update somewhere, and i run it as PG32IMG.zip and then flashed the HBOOT image file as you have mentioned and voila the S_ON is back. ).
I know there is no option for S_off again, but i have my bet on you dev's.
Is the update for 2.3.5 is released for indian IS user's or any expected date.?
Waiting to see how the performance.

"stock" HTC incredible S stuck on HTC Screen

Hi,
Both my Girlfriend and myself have "stock" (never flashed not roms installed) HTC incredible S handsets.
In the last week hers has suddenly started hanging on the HTC boot screen.
Earlier in the week I used the boot menu and managed to run factory reset which worked succesfully. This morning phone has asked to do an OTA update from Optus. (same upgrade she had installed before the last "hang")
Ran the update and it rebooted.. it is now hanging on the HTC screen. When trying to run factory reset it either shows a red triangle with an exclamation mark or reboots and hangs on the HTC screen.
I have not rooted it (these are 100% stock phones) and have searched through the forums but most of the posts Ive seen related to taking modded phones back to stock and not fixing a stock boot problem.
As I have the exact same model is there any way I can copy critical files from my handset to hers to resolve this issue?
Is there a stock Image file I can download and install?
Warranty is out of the question so I need to try and resolve this by myself..
details from boot screen:
vivo pvt ship s-on RL
HBOOT-2.00.0000
Radio-3822.10.08.28_M
eMMC-boot

Hi Mark, here's the Optus Sense 3 RUU http://d-h.st/cGj
Download and run that on your PC following the prompts. You may need to be in bootloader mode but looks like you can access that already.
Be aware that this will return the phone to a completely out of the box, factory condition.

Thanks...

[Q] Incredible S Stuck at 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!

[Q] Unmodified Sensation XL bootloop

Hi guys,
a friend just gave me his sensation xl and told me that it only bootloops anymore. Since he knows that I have rooted and modded my SGS1 and Nexus 4 he put all his hope onto me. Though I don't have any experience with HTC I hope that you can help me.
Like I said before the phone only bootloops. Entering the bootloader is no problem, but I can't get any further. Factory reset and recovery result in bootloops, too. Fastboot is possible, but then my PC only detects a device called "android 1.0". Using the driver from the "HTC Sync" software work, but I can't use a RUU file with them to install a stock rom. I can't even use tools to find the CID. They always say "waiting for device"
As far as I know, my friend hasn't modified the phone in any way. The bootloader says this:
*** LOCKED ***
RUNNYMEDE PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.23.0006
RADIO-3831.16.00.16_M
eMMC-boot
Apr 24 2012, 18:59:39
Is there something I can do to bring the phone back to live?
I really hope you can help me!

Download a compatible ruu for ur phone
Try this thread:"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141627"

So....Hi again.
The last time the RUU worked all fine. But now I got the phone back with the same problem and already tried the RUU file. But after installing it, the phone keeps bootlooping.
Any ideas to solve that problem? I'm allowed to do nearly anything software related with the phone. So even if you tell me to install a custom rom it would help.
Though the owner isn't a power user, I don't think that this problem is caused by him. And I read a lot about this problem. For me it seems to be a problem the phone has generaly.

Hi,
I guess that the battery is broken. One time I bootet to the bootloader and charged the phone nearly a whole day. Then it booted up to android. After this I let the battery run empty and since then I never reached android again. Perhaps the battery is totaly broken now. Though I don't know anybody with the same Smartphone or a compatible battery, I couldn't try another battery. But maybe you have the possibilities to do that?! I wish you luck!

It will install stock with root if you install an OTA you will have to reroot afterwards.
Obviously if you select no to stock recovery you'll stay with TWRP but OTA installs will fail.
One last thing if you ever thought about going s-off do it before you use any OTA updates.
With hboot 1.56 and stock Rom you can s-off with rumrunner for free. If you update to hboot 1.57 the only method is Sunshine and it costs $25 :good:

You need s-off to go back to 100% stock. What was the error rumrunner gave.

About the stock recovery, it's normal for it to go to a black screen. After a while it should display an image of a phone with red exclimation. That's normal too.
At this point hold volume up and press the power button to see the recovery menu. Ignore the errors about mount sd card that's also normal

It's totally up to you it depends how you feel about it. If the device still has warranty you will need s-off should you ever want to claim on it. It's also the reason I pointed you to the Stock reset rom rather than the RUU. Because the latest available RUU for your device has a lower firmware version than currently on the device. So you need s-off to use it.
But if your not that bothered then just go ahead and keep the device s-on. It just means that if you update the device and then later need s-off for some reason your only way will be Sunshine which you have to pay for. So i preffer to make people aware of it. But its totally up to you :good:
