Debranding Bell Incredible S to WWE?

Hey I just want to make sure of a few things before I try this... I saw the thread below but it doesn't saying anything about being able to downgrade later on. I have a Bell incS with the stock 2.3.3 version 2.28.666.3. My phone is not rooted or S-Off but I have made a gold card and was going to flash the WWE RUU 2.30.405.1 to get rid of the bloat. Is it as simple as that? Would it be possible to downgrade back to the original Bell 2.28.666.3 RUU later if I needed warranty with the gold card or not? Also any issues to worry about with debranding like radio/wifi problems or anything else? Thanks

If you don't have S-OFF on your BM IncS, then you won't be able to flash the WWE 2.30.405.1 RUU because that ROM is for the S710E model (model id PG321300) and the BM Incs is a S710A model (model id PG321200) and it will fail with 'wrong model id' error.
If you go ahead and S-OFF, then you can take the WWE 2.30.405.1 RUU and extract the ROM.zip and modify the android-info.txt file in the ROM.zip to change the model id. After that process, you would copy the modified ROM.zip file to the root of your SD card and rename it PG32IMG.zip. Then boot into HBOOT and it will find the PG32IMG.zip file and ask if you want to apply the update. You will then have an unbranded, unrooted IncS. The second advantage of S-OFF is that it will allow you to reflash the BM 2.28.666.3 RUU.

I'm looking at doing the same thing. Wondering if patrick92260 has had any success. I have the Virgin IS and want to debrand it as its loaded with useless BELL apps. Will be attempting this myself, let you know how it goes.
Q: First question is, now that I have the .exe of RUU. How do I go about getting the ROM.zip file.
Figured it out on my own, but for others who are curious.
A:Windows > Run > %TEMP%
Then list by 'last modified folder' and it should be the first one there.

I decided not to debrand the phone because of the different model ID for the Canadian IncS. If you debrand the phone to a WWE RUU it most likely won't ever be able to get an OTA update because when it's tries to update the phone's model ID will still be different. If there is no RUU for that new update then you'll probably be stuck with what you have.
Maybe if the IncS ever gets an actual radio S-Off I will try it.
If you still tried to debrand it though, how did it go?

Just a point of clarification. When I debranded my Bell IncS, I put the original WWE GB 2.12.405.7 ROM on it. I then received the OTA notification that 2.30.405.1 was available, so even though you won't get a Bell OTA, you do get the WWE unbranded OTAs.

Hmm maybe I'll go ahead and give it a try then. You didn't have any issues upgrading to the WWE OTA or have problems once it was debranded? I ask just because I know if you debranded the original Desire it would kill the WiFi and I think it caused reception issues.

I have not had any issues of debranding my Bell IncS with the WWE roms.
The OTA downloaded fine, but like all OTAs, it checks to make sure you have a stock version of the previous ROM, in this case 2.12.405.7. If you have ClockworkMod installed, the OTA will fail because that isn't the stock recovery. I could have flashed the stock recovery and ran the OTA, but I choose to take the 2.30.405.1 RUU and make a rooted version of it using dsi's XDA Android kitchen and ended up flashing that.

Debranding went smoothly. Flashed the WWE just fine after editing the file.
Then went ahead and installed 4EXTRecovery and Virtuous Unity over that though.
Whether doing the debranding helped or not, I'm not sure. Either way I'm down to just essential apps in this rom, no bloatware.
As for OTA updates, who cares really. If you're on this forum, you've got enough knowledge to flash yourself and not have to wait for OTA updates to arrive.

Original Bell Incredible S rom
Any one have the OEM "stock" rom/radio/kernel from Bell in case of warranty?
I did not think about this when I flashed mine and it would be great in case the hardware fail..
everything is working perfectly fine right now so it's just a "in case" question.

Thanks a tonne for responding.
I''ve an HTC Incredible S, it was at Bell's stock version, RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_BM_2.28.666.3_Radio_20.2805 .30.085AU_3805.04.03.27_M_release_199657_signed.

In order to unroot and install the HTC OTA update/RUU:
Can I directly run this zip from HTC site and will it work? OR do I need to follow some other procedure to downgrade my phone to the default image(v2.3) and then upgrade to v4.0 ?
I found this v4.0 for Incrediable S for NAM (Canada) listed on HTCDEV site. Nothing else v2.3 or anything for Bell is listed there.

No, if you have BlackRose S-OFF, you will not be able to flash the 4.14.405.2 RUU. There is a link in my signature that is a stock, rooted ROM based on this RUU that you can safely install. I would recommend that along with poondog's kernel that is also linked in my signature.

Followup
Thanks tpbklake,
I didn't perform Step11, to install Blackrose.
I followed, Step 1, Skipped 2. Couldn't follow Step3, since I had bootrom HBOOT 1.13.0000, I could never get the OEM identifier token. Then I directly performed Step 9 to get revolutionary soff. Then I followed Step 4,5 to install clockwork recovery and root my phone. Then I performed Step 6. That's it. No other steps or flashing of custom rom.
Can I go ahead with the 4.0 RUU from HTCDev?

No. Run the blackrose tool. (Make sure you have CM7 or another rooted ROM for this). Fully run it so that now, in the bootloader, instead of Revolutionary, You should see Blackrose. Then run the tool again but this time select Uninstall Blackrose and at the end of that, you should have HBOOT 1.13.0000. Relock bootloader and then run the RUU.
Or you can just use tbpklake's stock rooted ROM. That was built off the lateset WWE RUU I believe.

Thanks I can't use rooted ROM for a test I am doing.
So keep following the previous guide(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118187) to perform Steps 10,11 for flashing CM7 and Blackrose. Then re-run Blackrose utility to uninstall it. Then lock the bootloader and run RUU from htcdev. Correct?
How do I lock the bootloader again?

Ok now I'm just freaking confused. What are you trying to do?? Are you trying to root?? Or what??

[Q]Unable to OTA update after restock

After an upgrade to android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0, i decided to downgrade and s-off my phone to try custom roms.
Now i decided to go back to stock rom's. I managed to flash 2.12.405.7 Ruu and s-on my phone, but i can't manage to update my phone with OTA function.
My cid is 038 and the original firmware was 2.12.720.5. I can't find that version of ruu(if someone has it please share it).
If i create a gold card and use it to flash for example RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1 can i update by OTA to the latest version available?

Your region and your RUU must match for it to get OTA's.
If your CID hasn't changed since the start, you need to run the RUU of what you started with

I can't find any 2.12.720.5 ruu version, Football seams to have it, but i can't reach him. And i will first try to find a free version

I managed to find this RUU, but i think the radio is to old, and i will like to avoid a brick. What do you think?

If you have a 2.x ROM then DO NOT attempt to flash that 1.X RUU. The radio is TOO OLD and you will BRICK YOUR DEVICE.

ok, thought so, but i really can't find any solution
i can see the next posibilities :
1. gold card + wwe ruu(don't know if ota update will work)
2. cid change (don't know how and if ota update will work)
3. pay for 2.12.720.5 ruu
4. find some 3.**720.* ruu (don't know where)
could you please tell me your point of view?

Make a goldcard and flash the 3.11.405.x WWE RUU.

i made the gold card, everything works, i am now on 3.11.405.2.
Is it normal, that the first row in the bootloader is ***LOCKED*** or
is this one of the downsides of downgrading and restocking.
I don't remember if it was originally here.
Another questions is, when the ICS OTA will be here, can i update
by OTA

Yeah this is normal. I'm not sure if the ICS update will come as an OTA, but as long as the bootloader is locked you should be fine installing any official updates.

[Q] Official ICS update RUU

Hello,
I am from India. We haven't yet received the update for ICS on our devices. Can I just run the RUU with this file for my phone:
RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_HTC_WWE_4.10.405.1_Radio_20.74.3 0.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266013_signed.exe - 378.4 MB
Will the ICS work if I just run this update utility on my phone. Or should I wait for a region specific ICS?

You wont be able to Run the RUU due to CID mismatch im assuming you have dont have a goldcard or S-off.
wait for the OTA update..you know we Indians have a habit of being late....:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Hey thanks buddy. One question, I am new to HTC but what is goldcard? I understand S-OFF after searching all over the internet.
If you dont mind, do you have stock Gingerbread now on your device or a custom rom?

Goldcard is a modified SDcard that allows you to flash any RUU, inshort it prevents the CID check performed by the RUU.
by the way i am S-Offed with Revolutionary and i have Niks Trinity XL v5.0 installed :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

So can I just proceed with creating a Gold card for myself without S-OFF and run the RUU for ICS update?
or should I be S-OFF as well along with Gold card creation. One last question. Is this the same update that would be rolled out to Indian customers as well or will there be any modifications?

Well there are two thinks that you should consider while going along with the steps
1) if you apply the OTA update to your mobile HTC will update the Hboot to version 2.02.000 something then you will never ever able to get s-off and install any custom roms
2) you can procede with the gold card method and then apply the update,but please proceed with caution any wrong step might brick your phone. i would advice since you are not experienced with rom flashing and rooting to wait for the Official ICS update from India they would be propbably out in a day or 2
3) if you are S-off you can try this ...

I will definitely hit the thanks button but before I let u go, I would want to install the rooted Official update that you mentioned in the third link. So I may have to apply S-OFF. My question is if I do turn the S-OFF and apply the Rooted RUU, will I be able to install custom roms in future as well. And can you post a link on how to proceed with S-OFF. That's what all I need. Nothing more mate.

There is no need to flash the ruu just flash the zip file provided in the link mention by me in the first post and you will have a good stock experience of the ics

Just download the zip Rom from below link...place it in you as card
Boot into recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache and dalvik cache
Wipe battery stats
And install the zip from sd card
Once you are done the Rom will take around 5-10 mins for first boot please have patience

To which method are you referring to? References both the downgrade script to gain Revolutionary S-OFF as well as using the stock, rooted ICS ROM built from the RUU.
If you asking about installing the stock, rooted ICS ROM it does not include the radio.img, so it will not update your radio.

The reason you are getting a CID error trying to use the downgrade script is because you have not successfully created a goldcard to use for that process.

If I bought a Sim Free One in the UK, what RUU do I need to do a stock restore?

As the title states guys, I have no idea what RUU I should download or even if one is available ... Like I said, I'm in the UK and I bought the phone sim free from Carphone Warehouse and I am on Tesco.
Cheers in advance

Hope this helps, do it by the numbers and you'll be fine.
Bare in mind that you cannot at the moment relock your device to a warranty perfect state, it will sat relocked, simple as that and they will know that you unlocked it.

Cheers dude ... I did look at that a bit ago when I was trying to find it but I want the actual stock if poss from HTC. My current software version is 1.29.401.13, is that an OTA or is that the version of an RUU I need? I looked on the HTCDev site but I couldn't find anything under my operator but then I don't know if I can just flash a generic UK RUU or Europe or what lol, bit more to it on this phone than on my previous Xperia Ray.

The one listed should be fine m8, just know that you can't relock your phone properly.

the one i downloaded to keep for my sim free UK is RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13. 3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860
restore that and it should prompt to update to whatever the latest version is once you boot up

Cheers guys, I'll download the suggested files and have a butchers lol

Hi I have been following this thread, I read the instructions and it says you have to fastboot oem lock and then flash the RUU.
When you have gone through this process do you have to go through the process of unlocking the device via HTC id token again should you want to unlock, root and flash a recovery?

Any idea what one I need mate or is it not available? Tbh, I did try and restore using all the Europe versions on the link and I always got an error telling me it wasn't the correct RUU ... Why is it so hard to restore a One compared to say, Sony. When I had an Xperia Ray it was so easy to do, software direct from Sony to restore to stock, yet HTC have nothing simple when it comes to restoring ... It's blagging my head just trying to find any files to go back to stock.

HTC have never publicly released their RUUs, no idea why. You will need to use mike1986's 'stock' ROM to go back to stock or use one of the Nandroids posted in the Nandroid/RUU thread which is 1.29.401.13 or higher

Cheers for all the help guys, I think I'll just leave it unrooted and stock, at least until there is a stock RUU that is the same as the version I'm currently on, I could use the one from Android Revolution but correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that the leaked 4.2.2 whereas I want an RUU for my curren version but if it's not available then I'll just wait and hope it appears at some point ... Maybe I'll take the plunge then when I have all the bits I need lol.

There isn't an RUU for 1.29.401.13, 1.28.401.7 is the latest one to leak

I am in the same boat as you.. My rom is also 1.29.401.13 and i can not find the RUU for it.. So someone correct me if I am wring please.
From what I understand is that in order to use the RUU , you must have the same 1.29.401.13 RUU for this 1.29.401.13.. if you have any other RUU it will not work.. is this correct?
so if there is no 1.29.401.13 out.. then is it only to just use the android revolution 10.1 rom or the stock rom .4.2.2 ?
thanks for anyone who will clarify this .. as I am really lost

You have to have 1.29.401.13 or higher, e.g. 1.29.401.16 would work if available, same for 2.17.401.1
