Hi guys
I have the Sensation and the Flyer so these days I was too busy trying to S-OFF them and to gain perm root. (no luck yet) During this time my Incredible S was turned off this means I have been away from my Incredible S for a month now.
Today I turned my Incredible S on and I saw that there is a new System update :
A SYSTEM UPDATE IS AVAILABLE
SYSTEM UPGRADE 2.30.405.1 (30.17MB)
My Incredible S has been S-OFF`ed since April by XTC CLIP and I have been on the stock Rom due to some errors on the customs roms like ( no harware backlight etc.)
My question is if I apply this update will I loose my S-OFF ?
Secondly If I loose S-OFF will XTC CLIP bring my S-OFF again ?
Thanks
DC
I got that this morning.... but then it vanished when i checked again
i think if you're s-off already you won't lose it. and you have the xtc clip anyways, worse comes to worst you can use it again.
i read that if you upgrade to this versoin on stock and try alpharevx, you won't be able to s-off it
i dont "think", i am 100% sure you will not lose your s-off
why? cuz i have tested every possible way to s-on again my phone..including OTA...
You will lose your S-off only when you overwrite bootloader.
I s-off my phone using AlphaRev but wanted to test a few things in full stock so installed my stock GB RUU to S-on my phone again.
After that I S-off again.
It will not s-on unless you run an RUU and overwrite bootloader. Even if you get it s-on accidentaly there its possible to s-off from any state So you shouldn't have any problem installing this OTA. This OTA doesn't have a bootloader (I assume you already on GB ). Froyo to GB OTA had a new bootloader in it.
Let me know if you face any problem s-offing and I'll assist you.

The OP has a XTC Clipped IncS that is S-OFF. This is not dependent on a patched HBOOT like AlphaRevX is; this is Radio S-OFF and will not be affected, even by running a RUU.
Ok I did the update but ,
I am getting an error installing the update 2.30.405.1
My current software is 2.12.405.7
Here is the video of the error .....

Any ideas why ?
Maybe I might have installed another region RUU in April, but can't remember now.

In order to install the OTA, you need to replace ClockworkMod recovery with the recovery.img file from the 2.12.405.7 ROM.zip.

I tried this last night and actually got a progress bar and it got about 1/3 of the way and then I got a red triangle with a !. I know that the radio I have installed is newer than the one in the 2.12.405.7 ROM.zip, so that may be my problem. Anyway, I'm going to pass on the OTA and just go ahead and flash the 2.30 ROM.zip using ClockworkMod instead.

This
RADIO S-OFF via XTC Clip is permanent as of right now.
AlphaRevX S-OFF method is reversible with a RUU.

@tpbklake: Sorry I don't have any idea how XTC chip works as I bought Incredible S after a software s-off method had been confirmed
@doublecheese: Download the WWE_2.30.405.1 RUU from this link and try running it directly from your PC or use this guide to install it from boot-loader. Don't forget to take a Nandroid backup before upgrade
You wont need GoldCard in your case as you have WWE Incredible S and you are installing a WWE Rom on it
Hope this will help

You can't do ota updates when you have a custom recovery installed..

If I just flash the WWE 2.30.405.1 RUU instead , would I loose my S-OFF ?
Sorry man it's been quite time I don't follow the IS forums.
yesterday i did updates into new version, nothing special, only my phone performance bit faster. and battery performance is same for me. but i think updates are always worthwhile.

Since you are S-OFF'd using the XTC Clip, you will be safe to flash the 2.30 RUU and still have S-OFF after the process.

I took the 2.30.405.1 RUU and extracted the ROM.zip and then made a rooted ROM using the HTC Android Kitchen and flashed that on my clipped Inc S, so now I'm running GB 2.30.405.7 and still S-OFF. You can always go that route if you don't want to risk running the stock RUU.

I own my own XTC CLIP and a S-OFF Incredible S , I can confirm that you will NOT loose S-OFF after the OTA . How I know ? Because I did the risk and apply the OTA myself ... But S-OFF remains there solid as rock !!!!
But you will loose your root and then you have to do what EHSAN76 suggested to me....... This is how I get my IS rooted again.
HERE IS THE LINK TO THAT THREAD
Hey guys (and maybe a gal or two). Just rooted and S-off'd my vivid yesterday with the juopunutbear thing and switched the hboot to the juo one as prompted by cbear after you achieve S-off. I was wondering if there's a way to return hboot to the ICS one as I saw DarkRaider needs the ICS hboot to flash. Can I do that somehow or is the juo hboot compatible?
Juo is an engineered ICS Hboot and I confirm it works. However if you want the stock Hboot anyway, you'll have to run your carrier's RUU.
Sent from my HTC Raider 4G LTE running ICS.
I had to send in my original Incredible S for repairs, since it wouldn't charge properly anymore. My question is, can I download the first RUU in this link (Ruu VIVO SENSE30 S Htc WWE) and use it to upgrade a stock non-unlocked Incredible S to Sense 3.0? Bell didn't release the Sense 3.0 update OTA for Inc S users, unfortunately.
Edit: Wow..Didnt even include the link I was referring to. http://rapidlibrary.com/index.php?q=ruu+htc+incredible+s
Edit 2: Also could I use these files to flash an S-OFF Hboot or since my phone isn't rooted or unlocked will it fail, or damage the phone at all? http://d-h.st/users/Inferi0r/?fld_id=2621#files

With a stock Bell IncS you will only be able to flash any of the North American RUUs. Such as any of the RUU with BM in the file name.
The Sense 3.0 WWE will not install because the NA IncS is modelid PG3212000 and the WWE RUU is for modelid PG3213000.
My Hboot is 1.13.0000 S-ON. Thanks for the answers, can I use any NA RUU or only Bell RUUs? Bell didn't release the sense 3.0 update for Inc S sadly, which is why I want to flash a different RUU so I can have Sense 3.0 while I wait for my phone to come back.

How do I flash it without a custom recovery? Or do I have to install a custom recovery first?
Thanks for the help guys.
Edit: Nevermind, I did some reading and searching through XDA and found my answer.
Bell Canada HTC One, want to flash the stock recovery back so that i can get the Sense 6 update. Phone is rooted and unlocked with HTC dev but does not have S-off. been running into issues with hboot 1.56 in that regard and cant get S-off to work. Anyway. From what I gather the OTA update wont work without the stock recovery. How do I know which one to install

Hi guys,
I have an AT&T htc one m7 with the latest 5.12.502.2 firmware from htc running sense 6 and 4.4.2. I wish to revert back to 4.3, but have trouble finding any 3.xxx guru resets or stock roms for ATT. Does anyone have any roms/links available to downgrade and still be able to get ota updates (wish to reupdate via ota). I am running hboot 1.57 and I tried rumrunner and firewater(not supported anymore) and unfortunately both failed. I want S-OFF to flash a lower RUU. Any suggestions on what I can do? Thank you!

Their are lots of sense roms for AT&T changing your rom is not going to help you get s-off
your firmware is @ 5.x you can't go back to 3.x without s-off
