Help! I think I bricked my phone! - HTC Incredible S

I updated my phone to stock OTA from HTC update on phone 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 and now I'm stuck on HTC white load screen.
When I updated the phone, everything seemed to download and install correctly but when the phone rebooted it got stuck on white HTC logo screen.
BACKGROUND INFO:
So I have my phone S-Off. I did these steps found in this thread to s-off: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1137008
The only thing I didn't do in that thread was "recovery" part of the list. I tried to root my phone months ago, but got stuck so I just gave up. That was as far as I got. I was running Sense 2.1 Android 2.3.3 before I updated today and it "bricked"
I went into HBoot and it says this
Revolutionary
VIVO PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.13.1002
RADIO-3822.01.08.14_M
eMMC-boot
Apr 1, 2011
What should I do? I read the sticky thread on the OTA Update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1435136 and it says that S-OFF is the problem and that it's messing up with the official HTC update?
Any help please?
thanks.
PROBLEM SOLVED... Used another SD card and everything worked ok. Thank you everyone for help

You should flash a recovery and install a custom rom.
Use this one. http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivo.img

I just tried what you said and it still doesn't work. Clockwork loads ok, but everytime i try installing a zip file using clockwork, it says installation aborted.
I tried installing the su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip using clockwork and it said installation aborted. It says that i can't open the zip
I tried installing CM7 using clockwork and it said installation aborted. It says that it can't open the zip

Tried a RUU? That fixed the same problem for me.

You chose option "install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard" NOT "apply update from sdcard / apply /sdcard/update.zip"..... right?

Ya, I chose INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD. I manually selected the zip file to install.

Try a recent su zip http://goo.im/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip if successful install rom manager and install cm7 from there.

I've used 2 different SD cards already. I have a third one, I'll try that. So you want me to install that ROM I downloaded and put it into the third sd card and see if that works?
I'll try it.

Verify the MD5 checksum of the downloaded file on both the PC and on the SD card after you copy it to ensure that it was downloaded successfully.

Got it to work now, everyone. I used a third SD card like suggested and installed the ROM that tpbklake suggested (linked in this thread) and it works. THANK YOU SO MUCH, EVERYONE for you help! So much appreciated.
love you all!

[Q] Rom Manager no clockworkmod recovery

I have thoroughly restored and master cleared my phone twice now. I root it, install Rom Manager and then attempt to install Clockworkmod Recovery and every time I get "Error while downloading from server". Are they down or something?
same story here, I even gave them the $5 and now it cannot even install the clockwork mod What is going on here?!
I believe the server is down for the clockwork mod file that rom manager downloads from. I attached the file that I downloaded from another post.
Thank you,
Thats got it
No change.

Once you put the update.zip on your internal SD card , reboot to recovery and select "reinstall packages"...............you are in ClockworkMod Recovery

Had the same problem wit the server and can confirm it worked with the update.zip in the post AND the double install(you dont need to reboot again just hit install packets againg).
Thx
I can also confirm that this worked as well. I am rooting my bosses phone(captivate) and clockwork was giving me "server" issues when flashing the recovery. Put the update.zip on the sd card, booted to recovery and ran the update, I am flashing clockwork as we speak! Thanks, this forum never lets me down!

Problem installing any zip from recovery

Hello,
I have a galaxy ace S5830 phone. I wanted to install ICS 4.0 on it. The phone is rooted and runs 2.3.4.
When I try to install any zip file from recovery it gives an error saying "E: Can't open /tmp/sideload/package.zip (bad)".
I just cannot install any zip file.
The phone has android recovery 3e.
I formatted the OS (factory reset) but it didnt change anything. Formatted SD card too but no use.
What is the possible reason behind this error?
Any solution is highly appreciated.
flash cwm.

flash this recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=743333&d=1318051346, and then install zip
but be carefully u must have s5830 not s5830i or others.

The log you posted states that the zip file is corrupted...have you tried to redownload cwm and flash it again? It's impossible that you are able to flash the zip for root but not cwm...it must be the zip's problem...

Well, I tried with different zip files of CWM. It is not working. The zip files are not corrupt since I tried them on my friend's ace and they worked fine.
I did not flash for root. I rooted through superoneclick since the flash was not working.
Also the error given is not for my zip file. It is for some package.zip (I dont knw what is this zip file neither do i knw its location tmp/sideload)
Different zip files of cwm?where you get that many? Try to refer to this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12874680...install the cwm from there...and if it is still not working, reflash a new firmware (2.3.6 for most countries) via ODIN and try again...
And one more thing, in stock recovery, you must select install zip from external storage (or something like that), not from cache...you will be brought to your sd card to select the relevant zip file...

With due respect Sir, Different zips means CWM zips from different download sources.
I tried it with 2.3.3, 2.3.4, 2.3.6 (installed them via ODIN). But seems that firmware doesnt make any difference to the recovery. Keeps on giving the same error.
Thanks for the link above..let me try that out.

Hey, the link you gave isnt any different from what I did via ODIN.
Is there any way to install CWM + firmware via ODIN? I am looking for that.

I am flashing from SD card only.
But, its not working, I need a method to install CWM without flashing. Since, I already have a root, is there any software that can do that?
P.S Tried ROM manager free version. It asked for premium version. Tried cracked premium version, while installation it says "Application not installed".

Android Revolution HD 4.0 - mike1986 - File Reup

Hello,
I figured I would reup the following files for mike1986's Android Revolution HD 4.0 since the original file server is essentially down.
I apologize for not posting directly in the original development thread, but noobs with under 10 posts can't post a reply.
Please use the link below
Android Revolution HD 4.0 Reup
I have included the following files:
Android_Revolution_HD_Incredible_S_4.0.zip - The ROM
Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe_Incredible_S.zip - The Script
PG32IMG.zip - The Firmware
md5.zip - The MD5 checker
How to flash:
Firmware - This package contains newest radio and rcdata
With 4.x ROMs mike1986 strongly recommends flashing the firmware
Place PG32IMG.zip on the root of your SD card and boot into bootloader mode
PG32IMG.zip will automatically update
Reboot and delete PG32IMG.zip from SD card
Download ROM and place it on your SD card
Download "Super Wipe" script & place it on your SD card (optionally if coming from earlier version of my ROM, obligatory if coming from stock or other custom ROM)
Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol down + power)
In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of "Super Wipe" script
Once again select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of Android Revolution ROM
After flashing process is complete, reboot the device
See the original post for more questions and answers
mike1986's Android Revolution HD 4.0
Enjoy!
Thanks

Perhaps you know how to change your DNS setting to google DNS or open DNS address. This may help to by pass your local DNS and this may help to load the page.

I changed them to googleDNS server and nothing happened. (IPv4 and IPv6) . Still having this problem (2 days trying to download). I really want to try this ROM ( Im still using android 2.3 )
I searched on xda but couldn´t find other links to download it.
Is there other server where to download? Torrents? Magnet links?
btw thanks for ppl who reply my msg
cant install >.<
