Hey guys i was just right now successful in flashing my phone with gingerbread IS and i love the speed and everything !! i saw manyy people asking questions about how to flash and everything and once upon a time even i was in a troublesome state with this problem so made this thread for noobs !!
Step 1 : Download the WWE update i.e.RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.12.405.7_Radio_20 .2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_M_release_187295_sign ed from the thread link given below , as it is supposed to be the latest as mentioned by a lot of members !!
here's the link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922
Step 2 : A Gold Card, enables you to install official Android ROMs intended for your phone . Note that if you want to flash custom ROMs, you will have to permanently root your phone instead.
Creation of Gold Card :
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
This link mentions Desire HD but even works for Incredible S ..
Step 3 :
Here you require the previously downloaded WWE file just run it click on " next "
as per the instructions go !!
make sure you have atleast connected your phone once to htc sync software before performing this complete operation !!
One more thing the microSd that you turn into the GoldCard can be reformatted and used again as a regular mmc !!
Enjoy your HTC Incredible S with Gingerbread and HTC Sense 2.1 !!! Special thanks to knightrocker helping me out with flashing my IS !! Click the thanks button if you like this post !!
Addition :
This is a full rom and will erase everything!
If u wish to retain ur apps just do the exact same but download the OTA from the other thread instead of this one ...
will my current apps and settings be wiped or need to reinstall everything again?
yea
your phone will be wiped off

Nope... didn't work on mine. Error 130.
Try it anyway on yours, it's very safe to try and you're not going to break anything by just trying it. Maybe I have a bad SD card or something.
Nope beta tester here ...crap hopefully soon

I just received an OTA for my Incredible S and I can't see anything about it online: version number 2.30.707.1 and it was about 30MB.
I didn't find any obvious change so far. And the description was something very vague about "update of applications".
Any one knows what this update was about?
Please be sense 3!
No obvious changes meant Android version is still 2.3.3 and Sense still 2.1
Sorry.
Ooh I misread your op..
I thought you said 300mb and didn't realize you already installed it.
Desire s gets sense 3 and we get shafted
Nothing here in the UK, I'm still on 2.30.405.1
Today Desire S in GB got 2.3.5 and sense 3.0
INCS should be next IMHO
That really would make this device one of the best...
Hope to get an updated gb and sense soon.

If you have ClockworkMod installed, the OTA will fail. You need to flash the HTC stock recovery back in order for the OTA to run and update successfully.
I'm from Australia, and keep checking every half an hour for updates. nothing yet.
Updated Mine and NO SENSE 3.0!
Disappointed with how slow HTC is dealing with updates!!!!!!! Super SLOW!
No way man...
I'd rather a Sensation over a S2 any day...
HTc sense is by far superior to Touch Wiz in my opinion and I have had phones with both so I know what i'm saying.

may i know how to do it
Edit
did it, thanks
Lots of guides in the development section. U need to download the stock HTC ROM, again found in development section, connect ur phone to ur computer via usb and put the downloaded ROM zip file onto ur sd card, then boot into recovery and flash the stock ROM on ur sd card following the on screen instructions. 4ext recovery is best to use. Format and wipe first. This will however put ur phone back to s-on. Or you could just wait for one of the many good developers here to cook a new ROM based on the latest release, undoubtedly better. All the guides take u through it step-by-step though.
Good luck

Just a quick question.
I have HTC IncS Sim free bought in UK.
I have S-OFF it using revolutionary and is rooted.
If i were to apply the OTA update will it work fine with my fone or do I need to S-ON it first and then apply the update.
you will need to revert to s-on first. beware, once you update, you might not be able to s-off. I read that the update comes with hboot 2.0. no one knows if it can be s-off'd.
if you want to keep the phone s-off, just flash arhd 2.1.0. Mike just updated the rom using the official update.
okay thanks alot.. So to revert it to S-ON again i believe i need to update to a stock rom but which rom should i be using for my base band version 20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M

You sir are crazy. Is no one seriously not going to tell this guy not to do it? The ota update that was just released is a piece of crap, the roms on the dev section are light years ahead of the newest htc update. Don't do it!
I agree with "itsbeertimenow", you may wanna avoid the latest update as it includes hboot 1.16.000 and revolutionary will NOT work anymore.

haha. i already suggested using arhd if he wants to keep s-off. what he does with the info i provided is his prerogative.

Hboot 2.0 is even worse...so no update for me.
Yeah, I know about the gold card option, which I will have to try at some point...but the risk involved is a bit concerning at the moment.
Anyway, I would advise against the update.
no update from me
my advice is to not update.
I was always a stock rom fan giving the reason, a. root involves a risk of bricking your phone and b. HTC was doing not bad on their sense UI IMO. (OK you could argue that but I personally believe so).
But this 3.0 update is just so not HTC, I don't see a big improvement of performance but the otherwise, and the UI feels like beta version of a custom rom.
check my recent post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383806
Also, consider other members' opinion on rooting back from stock 3.0, you'd better stay and wait.

Hi Guys,
Sorry if i am bugging with the same old query of a salsa update of ICS or any update above 2.3.5!
Has anyone updated salsa above its official release via rooting to ICS or anything else? Is it stable or any faults or is it bricked?
If its is a positive answer, can you guide me appropriately? I am bored of the old version and seeing all the similar configuration sets getting an ICS, i am depressed. Please drop in your comments.

lol. OK ill explain it fully for you below
1-HTC Dropped updates for this model 1 yr after production
2-HTC Stopped Production of this phone a few months ago
3-HTC will never release anything for the Salsa officially above 2.3.3
4-Any Rom that's Based on Official Salsa will be 2.3.3
5-Any rom that's 2.3.5 is a Port from another device, normally the Wildfire S.
6-Any rom that's 2.3.5 based either 2.1 sense or 3.5 sense will have faults and isn't fully matched to the Salsa so don't complain when something is missing or goes wrong.
7-The Salsa HTC kernel is believed to be OC'd already, so modification will be difficult but is being worked on.
Please think yourself lucky. There's 2 Working devs for this Phone...Me and razor...and I'm working my backside off trying to create things for you guys...My main purpose is to get a working CM7 and that's my mission.
If you want ICS you will have to wait a long time.....first comes a kernel...then comes cm7, after that..heavy kernel mods to allow cm9/cm10 (ICS).
Other than that my friend....change handsets if you want ICS
But honestly...there's nothing you can do...how you think the rest of us feel...I'm bored...very bored of this phone..but will persist till CM7 is on here....
Thanks for the reply.
I consider this one what you said about salsa optimistically.. I consider it LIMITED EDITION
However i understand its config part and am worried, anyways i am wishing you guys all my luck to develop a CM& for salsa..
Wishing your mission to be a success at the earliest

I'm new here and this is my first android phone, so I'm sorry if I'm asking something already said, but what stop us from port CM7? I mean, the bootloader can be unlocked, we have the kernel's source and it's the same android's version. I use Linux since 2007 and I'm a CS student but I have not found many resource and I'm not a genius lol. If I could help somehow I would be very happy, I bought the device two weeks ago (bad choice I now lol, I didn't know it was already old) so it's completely stock if you need to look up some config files lol.

it does work, but as with other kernels, other devs have tried to adapt there modified kernel to ours...and it just don't wanna work.
this is why we have bootable cm7's but neither work due to the kernel not working correctly. ie touchscreen modules have to be corrected before the rom can be made to work. we are working on cm10 though in the development section, its gonna take time...

How is HTC nowadays when it comes to unlocking the bootloader? I like the look of the One and its features, but coming from the GNex, rooting my phone is a must.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
It's easy to unlock HTC Bootloader if it's supported in there bootloader tool, only around 5-10minutes. It's not fully s-off though like the HTC One X but its possible to flash kernels and roms.
OK thanks
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Don't be fooled by the htcdev site boot unlock. You still remain s-on, and the boot is still locked. Kernel needs to be flashed separately, cant flash radios... Worse, htc has avery poor track record in providing firmware source codes for its phone h/w components (twin 3D cam in evo3D, cam f/w for almost all phones, no third party support), ergo, no official cyanogen mod 10,11 or wany such official roms. What you get is some unofficial hack using ersatz codes by a dev experimenting...never stable....no hope outside stock rom....its time to abandon ship than stay on a burning platform (to quote steven Elop).
Sort of false. You can flash radios just can't downgrade it. Also when S-On you still can flash the kernel through fastboot or TWRP has a feature to let you flash the kernel.
With regards to S-Off I'm not sure but the S-Off method found on One X was just made days ago and I think HTC haven't patched it yet so assuming this is the case HTC One can be S-Off by using the same method.
I'm a fan of CM, but I'm buying this phone wholly expecting to be using nova launcher (or similar) over the top of sense. HTC kernels deviate a reasonable amount from AOSP and as stated things like cameras are just released as packed drivers, so it's very hard to manipulate for AOSP roms.
M.
Well.. i don't think a single person even have the phone.. besides HTC owners and workers.
if CM supported the One X.. then i don't see why the One won't get support..

How do you flash radios if htcdev unlocked.? Other than running a RUU? HTC Evo LTE got s-off quite a while back, but also, the first hboot it shipped with actually allowed radio and kernel flash. But they patched that quickly. I never update an hboot though. Lazy panda got S-off for Evo lte just a couple months after release, if even that long. And for all the fools who updated hboot before S-off, team unlimited has been able to get s-off for every hboot since.
From my Evo LTE, yup.
