Back to stock after cyanogenmod

Hi there,
Is it as simple as just flashing a stock rom (RUU)? If this is the case, which RUU version do I need, I have an unlocked phone (Europe, Belgium).
Need to revert back to stock because I need to get it fixed under warranty.
I am aware there are some guides on the forum, but I haven't found a clear one yet...
Best Regards

I would try running this one:

Thanks for the link. I've tried it and it all works, yet my phone is still S-OFF.
Bootloader gives this info:
-Revolutionary-
VIVO PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.13.1002
RADIO-3805.06.03.03_M
eMMC-boot
I'm not sure what they check in order to find out if the warranty is voided, but I reckon they'll stumble upon this info.

Yes now that you have the ROM installed, you need to remove S-Off and Revolutionary HBOOT if you want it completely stock to return for warranty.
Search this forum for the process to remove Revolutionary.

I've searched the forums and came up with yet again a number of posts all describing another process. I really don't want to brick it, so if you would be so kind to give me the link that'll work on my incredible s .

Follow the steps 2 - 2d in this post and then re-run the2.30.405.1 RUU:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15732727&postcount=14

Alright, worked like a charm. Thanks a million, now I only need to worry that they don't see the broken void sticker on the screws inside(wanted to see if my problem was due to a faulty connector) .
Hopefully all goes well

BlackRose has an uninstall option and will replace it's S-OFF HBOOT version with the stock HTC HBOOT 1.13. Depending on which ROM you have installed, this may leave you with a phone that will not boot normally, so the next step after you uninstall BlackRose is to flash a RUU to return to stock.
For HBOOT 1.13, your best bet would be the WWE 2.30.405.1 RUU.

I found this one but my hboot is blackrose and it use a script from alpharevx to downgrade hboot. So will it work with my hboot or should i remove blackrose first and how ?

No because the BlackRose will prevent the RUU from overwriting it's S-OFF HBOOT and replacing it with the stock HBOOT.
With both AlphaRevX/Revolutionary and BlackRose you need to 'prepare' the S-OFF HBOOT so that a RUU can overwrite and replace it with the stock HBOOT.

[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

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.

Could be.. I went through it and could not locate it.. maybe some 'in between the line reading'

Sure you can. Just go to google. Search up HTC Incredible S Shipped RUU. This will give u HTC's official release of Android 4.0.4 + Sense 3.6
If you dont want that, then you can always go to the Index of ROMs under the Android development of HTC Incredible S (though Im sure u need a microSD card for this). These ROMs are modified by the devs to make them run faster or to add features.
I really suggest you try and get S-OFF and Blackrose HBOOT first though. Then download Android Revolution HD and Beastmode Kernel and steam right through everything
Ive made a guide on how to achieve S-OFF and Blackrose HBOOT and its in my signature. Good luck hunting though!!

So if i search for the official android 4.0.4 it will be installed on the main memory ?

Yes. It requires that your incredible S be conencted to the computer while u run the RUU. This process taks 10 minutes so sit tight and do something else while rue waiting

Can you give me i direct link. I can't find one...

But u will need to sign up to see the links. Just take the 2 minutes to do so. Its kind of getting harder to find such links cuz HTC's starting to crack down on this kind of stuff. I think htcruu.com was taken down (though i can see a legitimate justification for this)

Witch version i should download? I tink nr. 35 but i'm not shure

I can't install the rom... i get 170 error, it says something about usb connetion...

Make sure you've installed the necessary drivers. You can do so by installing the HTC sync software from their website.
You Jelly Bruh??

Yes, i have htc sync...naw i get erroor 155.

Error 155 means that the bootloader is still unlocked. Did u run nonverbose's script successfully?? and the main version near the end came out as 2.00.......?? If so, rerun the RUU. If that does not work, then relock the bootloader through the code fastboot oem lock. That will relock the bootloader. If you turn your phone on u get **RELOCKED** and **SECURITY WARNING**. Now run the RUU. It should work.

He tried to flash a custom rom on a locked bootloader? With stock recovery? And phone reporting "encryption unsuccessful"?
FYI it's impossible to flash any custom software on a locked and s-on bootloader, neither using the stock recovery. Simply sounds like he tried to encrypt user data...a factory reset from stock recovery should fix the problem, otherwise restoring using a RUU is something to consider.

Follow the guide at the end of post #2 of the lollipop ruu collection thread (see stickies in the general section) to downgrade your version-main to 7.18.161.2 then flash the 7.18.161.21 ruu. After flashing the ruu you'll have to download 2 Ota updates so the phone is back to .161.51
