So guys i just bought a new incredible s s710e and upgraded it to official latest sense 3.0 2.3.5. My boot loader shows this info:
***LOCKED***

HBOOT-2.00.0000

the eMMC-boot
Nov 1 2011,20:33:03
I am new to this and want to root and install a custom rom like aosp icecoldsandwich. Did my mobile come with factory soff and do i only need to unlock or what? Detailed guided help on rooting it and installing a custom rom would be appreciated.

shipped with S-Off? weird. now youll just have to downgrade your hboot to 1.13 then use revolutinary.
Use this to downgrade http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373697
The question is that is my phone factory s-off so do i need to revert back and use revolutionary to s-off again? I need an expert advise on this.
It still says LOCKED at the top when i boot into bootloader.
Just unlock the bootloader with htcdev.com methode.
You don't need to do any of that ****. Just flash a recovery in fastboot and use it to install your custom rom. Congratz.

HOWTO Upgrad old hboot s-off to new hboot 2.00.0000 s-off (7.00.1000 upgraded to be installed on revolutonary s-off 6.xxxxx)
1. download to your sd-card this file xttp://rghost.ru/34060371
2. Then reboot into bootloader - phone will install PG32IMG.zip by itself
3. Now you can install the stock firmware 3.08.405.3 (RUU or OTA), s-off
for downgrade use old eng s-off xttp://rghost.ru/34168821
or
use adb:
adb devices
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot bootloader
You can flash any hboot
Any references? I want to know how it works.

What will it show after installing this HBOOT? CID will be changed to SuperCID? ENG S-OFF or SHIP S-OFF?
(Sorry about I have many questions to ask. I also want to test but I relocked my boot loader.)
CID no changed , SHIP S-OFF based on revolutionary
set to revolutionary s-off 6.13 etc or eng-hboot

A little noob question, How do I go back to the S-ON? And how do I flash the CWM?
Click to expand...

Yes these are vary obvious noob questions and the answers to both of these can be found in this forum by using the search functionality. Flashing CWM or EXT4 is the whole basis for customizing your IncS, so my suggestion to you is search, read and research to learn how to do.
is there and what is the advantage of updating old HBOOT (S-OFF) to new HBOOT (S-OFF)
You should flash the hboot back to ENG S-off if you want to go back to S-ON
For me it worked... thanks
I have updated the phone with the last firmware revision.
Now I have android 2.3.5 and sense 3.0.
Of course, hbtoot 2.0x too and the phone is s-on.
Now, what I have to do for Root my phone (set s-off and install clockwork mod)?

You won't be able to gain true S-OFF (as shown on the HBOOT screen), but you can unlock the bootloader by using the procedure at HTCDEV.com and then you can install ClockworkMod recovery and flash su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip to root the ROM.
FreeWolF80, you can unlock the bootloader, downgrade to old hboot, s-off revolutionary and upgrade to 3.08.405.3

Clockworkmod: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivo.img
P.S. The clockworkmod for above ^^, must flash through fastboot.

I'm running VIVO PVT SHIP S-OFF RL HBOOT-6.13.1002 (dated 1 april 2011) with rom ARHD 2.1.1, for what reasons should I upgrade to HBOOT-7.00.1000 (dated 1 november 2011)?
Are there advantages, like it will be possible easier to go back S-ON for warranty reasons?
Inferi0r , this hboot for stock 3.08.405.3
So we have only an advantage if we are still on one of the newest stock roms?
I'm curious to know too, following on from Inferi0r's question. If I'm running a custom ROM already, does this mean there's no benefit with a newer HBOOT?

Actually there are not really benefit from newer hboot..just it will be harder to s-off only..if you are running custom rom already,then it is good enough.

Trust me... Makes things worse... I can't even flash splash images now... Says permission denied even after htc's bootloader unlock... Only pg32img.zips work... Gonna flash enghboot again soon
Sent from my Incredible S using XDA App
@Knightrocker: let me know if the flash was succesfull. I can´t get rid of the modified hboot. I´ve tried to flash different hboots even via fastboot but did not succeed. Using fastboot it says that hboot flash is bypassed and does nothing. Also PG32IMG.zip tries failed by me.
If you succeed please share the PG32IMG.zip file with me. Thanks
Edit: After playing with ADB I did it. Sorry for bothering you with my trouble

You'll have to boot the boot image through fastboot. There is plenty of information on other threads on how you can do that.

At this point you are now ready to flash a Gingerbread RUU. That is the final step, the key is to pick one that will change the HBOOT to 1.13 so you can use Revolutionary to S-OFF.
The guide has a suggested ROM you should use.
Okay i used htcdev to unlock again but it is still 2.00.000. So what i have to do then? Just start the ruu.exe or flash hboot.img extract from the Ruu in the thread.

OK, first of all if you use the HTCDEV unlock method, you HBOOT screen will only show UNLOCKED, but it still shows S-ON, so you never really have true S-OFF with the HTCDEV method. The unlocked bootloader will allow you to flash custom images, such as boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, etc. but not radios like a true S-OFF bootloader does.
So the key is does your HBOOT screen still show UNLOCKED at the top? If so, then you can still boot into CWM recovery and flash another ROM.
And also it would be great if you used regular font sizes and colors...
since that was your first post, the heavens forgive you
but i need to look away cos my eyes hurt

If never rooted your mobile.
Try Removing battery and then turning on (You might have tried)
If this doesnt work and device is under warranty go to service center.
They will fix it for free
Else
You have to root your mobile.

Everything is OK.
By flashing an older GB ROM, you have a different bootloader which cannot be locked and unlocked. Based on the GB ROM you flashed, you probably have HBOOT version 1.13 on the phone is just fine, especially since you appear to have permanent S-OFF.

Since you have S-OFF, you just need to flash a custom recovery and then you can install custom ROMs. You don't need to worry about unlocking bootloader 1.13.
