Ive beaten the system!
back you entire image with backup in cwm4, you can restore the image straight after all this and nothing will be out of place.
firstly you need to create a folder on c: called Android so it looks like this.
C:\Android
in there you need these files
adb
adbwinapi.dll
fastboot
download this >these 3 files, unzip into c:/android
secondly, you need to add one of these this image files to your sd.

it holds the newest hboot version for your area or ruu that your running, allowing you access to the unlock code.
reboot into hboot and update it. ( when there it looks for pm11img and it'll say update press up).
reboot again in to hboot.
it'll go through first process again, but don't panic, just press down.
now it should show up with a pink bar at the top of hboot saying *****locked*****
good, now your in! leave your phone in its current state and goto the htc dev site, follow instructions to get code....5mins tops!
unlocked it via the instructions.
you loose everything and go back to your original ruu you flashed with. hence the backup
ok, now goto cmd prompt ( little dos window) and follow the guides shown with cmds for fastboot etc...posts everywhere here and htc tell you on there site.
ok. your bootloaders unlocked...it will say in the top in pink. *****Unlocked*****
now......you need to flash cwm 5.
follow kandeds post to the letter.
there cwm installed.
reflash your backup img to restore everything as it was....jobs done!
and the added benefit that its still s-off lol
now you can hopefully enjoy all the benefits of htc freedom instead of xtc lol.
2 other files as listed elsewhere in this thread are these. (Not tested)

Yes I , BigBear and a veryfew others were the ones to S-OFF our devices even before the HTC Dev came up with a unlocked Bootloader for HTC Salsa and other devices
So even if you have S-ON no need for the xtc clip anymore...just follow the unlocking thread (in general section ) or HTCdev.com n than u can Root ur phone ...
xtc clip is only and only required to S-OFF the device but now as HTC has themselves given out the unlocks dont bother to s-off

If you are trying tto auto update via HTC.....stop, try one of mine, add it to your SD,

Hi Bear,
The phone is not able to find the PH11IMG file. I have tried downloading all. It can see the file but it never ask for update. When I run the adb for token, it either stays waiting for device or I will get n error. Any help?
Thanks.
What hboot version have you got? Check your version on the first bootup menu, also have you got s-off or on?

Hi Bear,
Thanx.. I got it at last. What I did was after a few days, I did another check and update Software, then I am able to run from HTCdev. After posting the token I am able to Unlock Bootloader. I have tried one of the roms. Just to check, if we run again the rom, do we need to rerun the App2sd as well? It seems that the partition is missing.. I am actually doing it for a friend..
Thanx..
Regards,
Huzz107.
It depends but normally yes u do have to redo the data script on each rom

You have s-on.
For you it requires a proper update via htcdev and then unlocking. It will do it.
You may be able to use fastboot...I could but wasn't able to unlock till I has full update, and being s-off I had to create a work around.....which s-on users cannot use.

Referring to posts #14 and #16 indicates user huzz107 with S-ON as being able to successfully unlock the boot loader after an update software to the correct version. The phone I have went through a FOTA update recently to the current correct version as indicated on the htcdev website, I was under the impression this is a proper update just like what huzz107 did. I am now unsure as to what a proper update is

Secondly, The link is not working for step 3.
Also if I am already s-off I can skip step 1 correct?
And when I unlock bootloader thru HTC dev, I select HTC Vivid?
THanks again!
Worked great!
Followed the directions and am now running ICS - flashed to the dark raider 1.1 rom from another thread after and it works great.. was going to try wc's illuminati rom but the link on his site starts out downloading at about 30k/sec and then steadily drops to zero before i get over 60mb.. anyone have a copy they want to mirror or know of another mirror hosting that rom? I know he's not on xda anymore..that's a shame tho he's a good dev.
Anyway thanks for the guide to get ics for us raider users! Worked perfectly!
Sorry for the dumb question about flasing the cingular ruu first, i didn't realize the first ruu it points to was a gb vivid ruu. makes perfect sense now.. lol...sense.. no pun intended..lol

Unlock as you unlocked before doing any changes. If your not having HTC vivid then don't select HTC vivid. If you have raider the simple select others.

Hello there , I have a HTC Incredible S,
Its untouched , everything is as we get from htc ,
its on 2.3.5 , hboot 2.01 , s-on , ***locked***
I am new to htc ,
I want to gain root and i dont want to lose the official rom , what i want is
to get root on Official stock rom , and keep getting FOTA and OTA updates (ICS IS REleasing next month hopefully).
Thnx if you can help
first,you have to unlock your phone!
you can go to here to do it!
www/htcdev/com
repalce '/' with '.',because i can not post url..
but keep in mind that your waranty will void if you unlock via htcdev method.
it's still a good and easy method if you dont want to flash radios.
Okay what after it ? They sent me a unlock_code.bin file via email. I flashed it using their instructions . I did not continue as it would delete all the data . Any way to backup it first and then unlock the boatloader
Don't use HTCdev unlock! Search the sticky threads for downgrading your hBoot from 2.0 to 1.13 using a goldcard and a stock ruu. There is a script to help too. HTCdev is a lazy fool's way to get custom ROMs. BTW, there is no S-off unlock with HTC dev. Check my signature for more info.

In order to get root on a stock rom you must obtain s-off. Once you do this you will no longer receive ota updates...

OK, first of all if you use the HTCDEV unlock method, you HBOOT screen will only show UNLOCKED, but it still shows S-ON, so you never really have true S-OFF with the HTCDEV method. The unlocked bootloader will allow you to flash custom images, such as boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, etc. but not radios like a true S-OFF bootloader does.
So the key is does your HBOOT screen still show UNLOCKED at the top? If so, then you can still boot into CWM recovery and flash another ROM.
And also it would be great if you used regular font sizes and colors...
since that was your first post, the heavens forgive you
but i need to look away cos my eyes hurt
