[Q] Limited Roms

Hi, can any one tell me why only some roms work on my Incredible S.

HBOOT-6.13.1002
RADIO-3805.06.03.03_M

Bought the phone sim free. I don't know the hboot version when it was stock. Hand no problems rooting and flashing different recoveries. It is now flashed to stock from RUU, I rooted and installed recovery to that. It is still S-off.
Tried roms that work.
Android Revolution HD 1.1.7 & 1.1.8
HTC Droid Incredible S (vivo) MIUI.us Presents MIUI 1.10.7 Pure English
Tried roms that get stuck at the first HTC screen (don't boot).
EhabFG Android 2.3.5 V4.4 Saga

Also changed the boot.img with fastboot form working roms, but end up with a boot loop.
Thanks in advance.

Are you following the wipe instructions for those ROMs completely? Have you tried disabling the Overclock/Undervoltage settings in the kernels?

Yes I am following the wipe instructions for the rom completely. Also tried Superwipe then followed the roms wipe instructions. No I have not disabling the Overclock/Undervoltage settings in the kernels, not sure if this would affect the boot procedure. Can't get passed the very first green and white HTC screen. Flash a different working boot.img, then I get the animated screen which just keeps looping.

I have the exact same problem, except only miui and cyanogenmod only work on my phone. I want to use android revolution HD but no luck. Tried swapping boot files as well and get boot loops. I got hboot 1.16.0000 with s-on but I have cwm so no reason why it shouldn't work.

Hey,
I had the same problem until I downloaded 4exit recovery and wiped and flashed any rom and it worked straight away.
For some reason some of the roms will not work with standard cm recovery. So basically just google 4exit recovery, install it, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, install zip from sdcard, flash and enjoy.
Took hours of searching and my head melted for this simple solution.
Hope it helps

There are threads in the Development section on how to flash radios, so I suggest you visit those and study them. It isn't too difficult once you read and gain an understanding of the process.

yes u can flash radios using revolutionary HBOOT since it has fastboot commands like flash radio etc. since you are using ARHD follow the instructions given in the radio flash guide after extracting the radio's zip file

[Q] How to Root Incredible S already running ICS

Hi guys,
This is my first post here. I just bought a home-used HTC Incredible S which was running Gingerbread. I have been able to officially update it to 4.0.4. Currently, these are the parameters in the recovery mode.

These are other details in case you need some more information.
Android Version 4.0.4
HTC Sense Version 3.6
Software number 4.10.405.1
I want to be able to root it just to install some apps, no need to install custom ROMs. I need help as to how to go about this. I have read various threads, but no hope. SuperOneClick also hangs at step 7. As much as possible, I don't want to downgrade before I root. How do I root my phone as it is now?

You have to downgrade because of your hboot version.
When I rooted, I was on gingerbread with hboot 2.02. I still had to downgrade to 1.13 to flash custom recovery etc.
To root, check one of these threads. I do not think you have a choice because unlike some of the older phones, the IncS has a complex security system to prevent "rooting" which was implicated by htc. HTC has now allowed the bootloader to be unlocked which makes life easier for us to root.
These "OneClick" roots almost never work on the IncS due to it's security. It will work on phones like the Galaxy Ace because to gain root access you just have to tweak the settings.
Hope I helped.

You have helped a lot. I have followed the procedure on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36489294#post36489294
However, I got locked at step 5. I have put in some questions on that thread but I've not gotten any answers yet. Thanks.

It seems that you have failed only at the part where you are "testing" root access. Rather than fixing this, there are other ways to test if you have root access..
-Bootloader should have **Revolutionary** or **Blackrose**
-Recovery should be clockworkmod or 4ext
-There should be an app called superuser in ur app list.
-Furthermore, you can install an app called Root Checker, and check if u got root access. I do not guarantee it works, but give it a try.
If all these tests return positice, chances are u got root access.
Also, if u are still on revolutionary hboot and clockwordmod, i reccommend you upgrade to blackrose hboot and 4ext recovery.
Blackrose because of compatibility, and 4ext because it is easier to use.
Keep in mind that you need an unsecured boot.img for blackrose, so make a nandroid of ur rom and flash cm7. Then install blackrose. It should work. If u do not have unsecured boot.img, you will recieve an error.

You do not need to downgrade.. Follow the steps of the Noob's guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337105
I had myself rooted the device after updating 2.3 to official ICS update...
PS: your HTC Sync should be updated one..

The hboot goes to 1.16. This is called downgrading.

But the guide you suggested still downgrades the phone.

Could be.. I went through it and could not locate it.. maybe some 'in between the line reading'
I had applied these steps to my phone with HBOOT 2.0 and it worked perfectly fine...

[Q] convert HTC One 4.2.2/Sense5 to Google Edition

now that I have re-experienced the Nexus experience with my new Nexus7/2013 I wanted to "quickly" convert my stock HTC One to Google Edition to have a more similar experience on both my prefered gadgets. but I can't get pass the first pass... I seem to be stuck thanks to HBOOT 1.54 not allowing me to switch to S-OFF, one of the requirements as I read.
So what do I have: stock HTC One 4.2.2 OTA with in bootloader showing me:
*** TAMPERED *** (no clue why it says this, did not try loading/running anything other then Revone and moonshine, without any luck by the way)
*** UNLOCKED *** (I got this via the official HTCDEV-route)

BIG QUESTION:
do I need to wait before there's an easy way to switch to S-OFF with HBOOT-1.54 or do I have other options to turn my HTC One into a Google Edition?

Hello.
Your bootloader is unlocked, so S-OFF or S-ON is not that important (though you cannot downgrade the hboot with S-ON, so you are stuck on 1.54 untill a tool for S-OFF on HBOOT 1.54 is made - im in the same situation by the way).
1. Flash custom recovery (TWRP or CWM)
2. Install a custom rom (im running with this one, based on android 4.3, GE (Google Edition) of Android.
3. Done
EDIT: No, S-OFF is not required, unless you want to flash CUSTOM firmwares or a few other things. Custom rom and custom recovery is doable as long as your bootloader is unlocked.
Kind Regards

This is good if he will only have the GE rom, if he will do a fully convert he need the s-off

Couldnt he flash the stock GE rom as a zip? Why is S-OFF needed? Because it must come as a RUU?
And thank you for the assistance in my earlier thread! :good: Recognized the sig instantly!

I think if your at 1.54 you can't s-off without some decent work. Have you tried some of the GE ROM's? I've been using the SinLessROM 4.1 GE and its better then stock GE if you ask me. Good luck with whatever path you take.

S-OFF is not avail for 1.54. Not without java-card and and only proof is a YT video - no tools: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF1CxtbPhV4

Thanks all for these clear and quick responses!
I would prefer the full monty: having an OTA updateable Google Edition
but for now a (as little as possible customized) GE-ROM will do fine
Which ROM can I flash, and what's the best way to do so?

Backup apps and settings with titanium backup. For the 3 dot menu there is an xposed mod for that. Note that installing xposed on the HTC one is different than usually, due to the system partition being protected in some way (changes are lost on reboot).

And also, if it's not Optus, then use WWE.
