[RADIO] Latest radio and how to flash :) - HTC Incredible S

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?

And can you put a little note on your post about the importance of md5sum? People say that if the md5sum is different, it might brick that person's device

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.

Cid is some sort of serial number (i'm not a dev) of the bootloader (i think).

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.

[Q] Back to Stock

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.

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?

[Q] How to S-OFF then Sim-Unlock?

Code:
I have a basics down of flashing roms. My bootloader is unlocked. I have the TWRP recovery.
But I want to S-OFF because it's easiar to flash roms and since I'm going out of the country I need to Sim - Unlock.
I haven't found any clear instuctions on how to S-Off. I'm going to use [URL="http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm"]Juopunutbears tool.[/URL]
I have ubuntu 12.04 32 bit installed. But I'm not entirelly sure what a stock RUU? Is it just a stock 4.0.1 rom? Is there a step by step video on how to S-off and sim-unlock?
Thanks!
DID IT!
59 views and no one said anything? Lol. Just find the S-Off thread in the development section and follow the instructions from the site you are directed to. You will need to revert back to stock using the RUU(.exe). I used Windows for that. It's all on the site

If youre reverting to stock via RUU, relock your bootloader. Run the RUU while connected in fastboot. Use the S-Off all in one located in I think its dev section, no ubuntu necessary, works in windows & has instructions. Super easy

being that we only have one s-off method, hassoon's toolkit was using this method for s-off. It does suck that the toolkit is gone, but everything it did is completely doable without..

Whats the easiest way to get s-off for I can flash ROMs and kernels.

s-off isnt available. You dont need s-off to flash roms and kernels. You need root and your bootloader unlocked. Plenty of threads about how. look for hasoons toolkit.

This post is a little dead but I'd like to seek clarification at what exactly you can and can't do with S-on/off. It's still a little fuzzier there. Perhaps some concrete examples?

Nice, thanks for the link JoeDoe.
So s-off will be essential in playing with the radio bands, among a bunch of other stuff. Predictions on how long it takes our amazing devs to bust through s-on? (o:
The unrevoked did not give me s-off and other ideas. Thanks.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
i don't think it is for the One
in time you will probably get it, but quicker and like the One S you'll get radio installers like Tecardo's and MrHydes that require no s-off. Some put the radio into System partition a way to bypass not having s-off
One S has no s-off but with these tools from the devs, no problem

Unrevoked is not for this device. It was initially developed for Evo 4g (unrEVOked). That thread was linked for clarification of ramifications of s-off. Generally you need s-off to update radios.

[Q] a NOOB Question about the bootloader~~~~~~~~~

(im new to this forum so i cant post screenshots in my thread)
Unlocking bootloaders and S-Off are different. Unlocking the bootloader just gives you some access to the boot partition, whereas S-Off means you have access to ALL partitions. Unlocking the bootloader is the first step.
With it unlocked, it will say UNLOCKED, and if you lock it back, it will say RE-LOCKED. With proper S-Off, you can downgrade the HBOOT so it will say LOCKED for warranty purposes. S-Off is not yet available for this phone

ok, 1st step, i am doing this!:good::laugh:
Just be careful, check your phone for AL defects before unlocking your bootloader. Warranty is void when you do, unless you can prove whatever defect you send the phone in for is not a result of unlocking, and even then...

You will get the update but not be able to install it if you run a rooted stock rom. You won't be able to flash it unless you unroot and put the stock recovery on. This can be done with a ruu

Read Mikes topic in Android development, I'd recommend reading about it before you touch any of this. Wait for the 4.2.2 update to see if it solves your problem, it should be out soon. If not then I'd say go and root.

Root/recovery

Hey guys just received brand new HTC one out of the box. Just wondering quickest method of root right now and what people are using for their recoveries. Yes I have researched but I see a lot of things out there. I'm sure one of your guys response would be quicker. If you could post links for root and a good recovery that would be appreciated. I'm on 4.2.2 thanks in advance.

I assume you have the international unlocked One, not any of the U.S. carrier branded Ones.
1) Go to htcdev.com, create an account. Choose the option to unlock the bootloader. You need the fastboot drivers. Easy to find
2) Once you're bootloader unlocked, flash TWRP recovery from this link:
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
3) Install SuperSU once u have TWRP(the app will be installed automatically). Run the app
4) You're rooted. Very naize
P.S. I would advise u to S-OFF your phone after rooting it, coz certain ROMs aint compatible with S-ON, ur default. So, before installing the 4.4.2 OTA, flash ARHD 31.6, run the rumrunner tool

Verizon wireless u.s.a and I'm on 4.2.2 and I waited to update to kitkat because I didn't know if there was an exploit for root and stuff like that. Can my bootloader still be unlocked? Keep in mind I'm 100% stock on 4.2.2 I just kind of need to be steered in the right direction on what to do next seeing as though there is an overwhelming amount of mods out for this phone.

Yeah, u need to use rumrunner tool, not the HTC dev unlock.
http://rumrunner.us/downloads-2/
Download for Verizon, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND PRE-REQUISITES CAREFULLY
And, btw, this is not the thread for the Verizon One. Hence, there are no ROMs which support the Verizon variant. Flashing a ROM from the development thread for HTC One WILL BRICK UR PHONE. Make sure u flash ROMs/MODs for the Verizon One from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one
FYI, if u want the most mods/roms, u should have bought the unlocked One
