Hi folks,
Yesterday I upgraded to official ICS on my HTC Incredible S, however it's very laggy. Been reading some of the threads here and it seems that none of the methods are working for HB00T 2.0.002 rooting? Is it true, if not please point me in the right direction. It would be a real help for me.
I am a complete noob, btw
The only way now is to use the htcdev method, which is in onne of the stickies the op is lynt
The downgrade method won't work with the new hboot you have from the ota

First you should have posted this in the General section for help and assistance. Once you S-Off and install ClockworkMod during the rooting process, you will not be able to flash OTA updates from your carrier because you no longer have the stock HTC recovery installed.
You are better off installing one of the fully rooted GB Roms or check and see if your carrier's GB RUU (Rom update utility) is posted in the RUU thread and flash that.

Hello all. I can't seem to root the vivid. I can't dl the bootloader from htcdev for some reason so is there another way of getting it.
Thanks In advance

Have you unlocked your phone yet? That is the first step. The htcdev site is where you do that. You don't download bootloaders though. Also go to the development section of the vivid forums and read the Superguide sticky on unlocking, rooting, etc. It is awesome. It will really guide you through all of the steps to get your phone unlocked, rooted, and romed!

nope. you have to unlock the bootloader first. register.. select your device.. then follow the instructions.. make sure you have the latest android-sdk..
Ok thanks a lot. I will try it today.

1. Can I leave hboot off unrooted
2. Can I lock hboot without a PC
3. Some tutorials say to lock hboot before flashing back to stock. I was aware u needed hboot unlocked to do this.

2. To unlock bootloader you need a pc
3. You need to unlock your bootloader, as for hboot depends on if you are flashing ics etc

Flashing stock ginger upgrading to stock ics
I have no clue why I am having so many issues going from rumraider beta 12 to unroot. But nonetheless I am. I will just have to sit down and read. I emailed the dev if that rom hopefully he is available

Ok so here is where I run into my issues. I am a gamer on my phone. At some point everyone is. But I play perblues games parallelmafia and parallel kingdom. On ics on the vivid I am getting some kind of skipping lag. And its only on that game. Maybe someone can help and try to figure the issue. I also called HTC support they attempted with same issue.

Hey, I unlocked my HTC Dream (Rogers, post 911 patched) bootloader from the HTC Dev site: http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/
The Dream/G1 bootloader unlock code is now provided by HTC themselves. Everything went smoothly but I don't know what to do next. I know I needed to do this to install custom ROMs (I'm on android 1.5 right now, want to go to gingerbread 2.3) but i have no clue how/where to start.
Any help would be seriously appreciated.
The HTC dev bootloader is garbage and will only cause you headaches. Relock the bootloader and root properly, Google search cyanogenmod wiki dream, follow those steps

Hi, thanks for the reply, however I only went down the HTC route cuz this link http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Rogers_Dream:_Rooting_(Post-911_Patch) doesn't work. Many people have the same problem as me that the exploid, doesn't work, but I couldn't find a solution.
Dunno what to do, all I want is gingerbread lol, thanks for replying though, appreciate it
I don't know why it doesn't work I did it to my rogers g1 back when and it worked fine, what's the issue

Hello again! So I took your advice looked around a bit and tried another exploid.zip file, this time from Droidx root method. FINALLY it worked and I now have custon recovery and ROM.
HTC Dev did nothing for me,
Thanks for help and suggestions
Just picked up a new HTC one and am intending on unlocking the bootloader, installing twrp, rooting and gaining s-off. All videos I've seen and all I've read seem to be at least 6 months old, pre 4.3 update. My question is should these procedures all work on my HTC One which is already on 4.3. Just trying to avoid any issues along the way. Thanks in advance for any answers.

Yes they are still good involving the method from getting your dev code to unlock your bootloader to installing the twrp (always install the latest version) even getting your phone s-off if your on 1.55 hboot then you need to use rumrunner to get s-off after you unlock your bootloader and install trwp and get root make sure to flash a custom Rom before you run rumrunner

I just got my one as well. Do you need to flash a custom rom before using rumrunner?

I was literally just about to post a thread just like this lol. I'm not new to rooting but this phone makes it much more difficult than my prior Samsung phones. Can someone explain to me what the difference between unlocking the bootloader is and getting s-off? Also, for several hours yesterday I was attempting to unlock the bootloader but like OP I couldn't find a recent tutorial that involves getting the dev code (I actually found one but itwasn't very thorough). What exactly is rumrunner and a RUU and why do I need them, please and thank you
