[Q] Back to Stock - HTC Incredible S

Yeah I was kinda stupid I didn't bother keeping a copy of the stock ROM when I started flashing...
What are the steps I need to follow to revert back to stock...yeah there are threads here but I'd like a simple 1., 2., 3. method...
I know I have to flash an RUU but how can I actually know which one? Things like these are holding me back...
Thanks in advance for your help.

first of all find your CID number
fastboot getvar all
or try to make a gold card, and you can flash allmost any RUU(try a more recent one)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359555
First one would probably be "search".
I guess RUU.exe-> S-on -> as stock as it can be?

CID ..where can I get that? Abt phone? And O can flash ANY RUU? So if my phone an Asian English Version stock i can flash a European RUU now? Thx.

And any RUU would do?

Hi,
I have a question regarding RUU and CID number. I managed to get my cid number via terminal emulator and typing getprop ro.cid and I got back the number 102. How do I know which RUU to use?

Use either 3.08.405.x or 3.11.405.x.

Thank you for advice. My question now (sorry for noob questions) the ger version is same as WWE-I need it for warranty.
Thanks again

If I'm not concerned with warranty...I'd just like Stock back...does it matter which RUU I choose? For example I had an Asian-English version Stock...can I flash a European one now?

[RADIO] Latest radio and how to flash :)

I've had a few people ask me how to flash radio so here it is:
Download the newest Radio here: http://d-h.st/Idf
put the PG32IMG.zip on the root of your sd card then reboot into HBOOT.
HBOOT will detect the file and install it for you its that simple!
thanks to ragzdincs for the link and inferi0r for hosting it
This is much safer than PG32IMG method right?

This no safer or worse than the bootloader method, it's just the bootloader does it for you rather than manually typing the command.
While appreciate people need help, there are a lot of these threads popping up in the dev section explaining very specific problems. There is a Q&A forum for a reason, please keep topics in this forum related to dev only.

Not really. Sometimes when you want to flash PG32IMG, it does'nt work. And the cause for that is the cid. If you're cid is not in the android-info.txt, bootloader won't recognize the zip. To check cid, use this command 'fastboot getvar all' and see your cid number.

I don't understand why you use this method.. There is a much more faster method there you just put the radio zip in the root of the memory card and boot into bootoader (it will auto. loade som files) then it will ask you if you want to update the Radio and you accept that by pressing volyme up, then just w8 for it will finnished,

Radio_20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.24_M is the latest, and you can test for yourself. If you don't like the new one you can flash the old again.
Check my signature for the radio.

Sorry bud. I can't seem to locate any RUU's or nandroid's that would be suitable for your device. You could try some of the other asia RUU's but I'm not sure they will work.
What do you need the RUU for? If you are just stuck on something, I can try to help. If you need it to return the device for service, then I'm sorry I couldn't help.

If you will change rom, you have to do a full wipe in aroma or in recovery before the flash

To flash a custom rom, you need to unlock your device via htc-dev. I'll put a tutorial video link below.
If you already have the 4.2.2 update, don't worry about new firmware for now. Otherwise, you don't need S-OFF depending on your CID to flash the custom 4.2.2 rom and firmware.
To do a rom swap, you don't need new firmware unless it's a newer base which also got a firmware update from htc

So he can unlock the bootloader and go s-off

So, turn off your phone and longpress power + vol- and when it reboot in bootloader read the hboot.
After reboot in android with the "reboot" line, for move the cursor you have to use the vol buttons

I think it's not needed, but I'm not 100% sure on this one.
I used 4.3 firmware on 4.2.2 before, but it was a custom pack (this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391611) so I'm not sure if the official one would work
