This question should have been posted in the General section. Anyway, you apparently haven't even begun to read the sticky posts in this forum because you would have found the answers.
Unlocking your hboot is the first step. Now you can use either the Downgrade tool in the General section or the HTC IncS tool 3.3.0.1 in this section.

Yep, as tpbklake said read the stickies on the general forum, they will give you your answer, the gave me an answer when I didn't know anyway
And what happened to the 10 post rule??

I'm going through the newb guide and Im stuck at step 4 because the "here" link is unavailable.
on this post i mean http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337105
4. Go to here and download the recovery image for the Incredible S. Put it in the "android" folder along with the other files needed for HTC's unlock process, above. This file is the ClockWorkMod recovery image for the IncS.
Thanks

I guess the fact that he has been a member for so long must have allowed him to post in DEV.

I just wanted to post in here telling this guy how he was f***ed but it seems as though everyone else has taken him down a notch already. Glad to see people are posting about him and not to him. : )

What a bad reply !!
If u are bothering to reply to insult the guy or make fun of him, then u are all selfish idiots.
Why not bother and tell him the easiest way he can do his root ?
Why can't we be a little friendly ?
Is to dam* hard ?

Is today "Defend a moron who posted this thread in the wrong forum months ago" day? Get over it and yourself.

It's even more weird if you check his post history... He hasn't posted in months. Assuming he bought an incredible S that updated to 4.0.4 and it was the first thread he found and was sad that there was no direct answer without having to read.

whats even more weird is I was doing a search for incredible s parts, my girlfriend (not that you two hobbits would know what that is) ruined the micro-usb jack on her already rooted incredible and this thread was dug up by google. look like i struck a nerve amongst the lifeless acne ridden of xda....dont be so sensitive little missies, grow a thicker skin or go home. It seems to me the morons in this thread are the ones who ASSume to know what they do not.

Is it possible for the camera on android 2.x to wok?

I don't know how to make a rom, but I do know it's a hard job. I really want to enjoy the android 2.x, but all the cooked roms, no matter 2.1 or 2.2, do not have a working camera. I have to use it, so I just want to know if there is a possibility for me to use android 2.X?
No offense, but you should be banned... before posting you should check other threads!!!

I really dont know why you are so upset, because I have read most of the threads posted since I got my phone last month. And what's the point to post a thread posted on purpose? I posted it just because I want to know sth I don't know. If I really make a mistake, you can ignore my thread and leave it to the buddies who are willing to answer my question. Thank you for your cooperation.

[Q] Installing Sprint RUU on non-Sprint Hero

Here's the deal. I have a HTC Hero from NTelos which I got free from a friend. I am new to rooting/hacking phones so I need some help. I have been trying to crack into it through some of the posts read here to no avil. I don't know if I am downloading the wrong software for my computers OS (windows 7) or the wrong program for the phone but I would really like to to get this thing running on Sprint. Can anyone help me with this step by step with URLs for all the programs I need to download? I am not so much worried about messing up the phone since it was free.
And English please. lol Remember, I am new at this so talk to me like a dummy.
Post in the correct subforum please.

Xda moved it for me. Does anyone know how this can be done?

better instructions please?

was wondering if mods are anyone who post roms.. can also post step by step instructions on how to install the rom, including software/programs needed to flash it. Its hard to search around the forum to download things..But if you post everyting in one thread, it would prolly avoid a lot of noob questions..

This user has already been directed to that link, and complained it was too long.
To the OP, the directions are clear cut and work. Slapshot did a fantastic job compiling all the steps.
Complaining that they are too long and creating another post to complain some more will get you no where and you're probably better off not rooting your phone until you can understand the instructions.
This was my first root, and although HTC phones are supposed to be harder to root, I accomplished it without a hitch thanks to the instructions so please be patient and take the time to read through all the posts.
If the Superguide is too hard for you, this whole thing isent for you

Honestly, if you're really gonna be this much of a baby about it, switch to a more popular phone, and head over to FreeYourAndroid.com. They have 24/7, and very easy to follow tutorials. Before you even go check for our phone, no its not on there. Hence why I said go grab a more popular phone.
As to how we lay out information here, its because its not for noobs to come and start diving into the world of android modding just like that. There is too much information, too many different (yet individually important) ways to do things, and too many different ROMs and the like coming way too fast to have it all posted in one place. General is for general knowledge things and any questions that don't involve a specific thread. Its a great place for noobs to hangout, learn the ropes, and find basic information. The Android Development forum is there for just that, Android development. So this is where all the ROMs, Mods, Root tricks, and the like go. That is an impossible amount of information to condense into one thread. Not to mention its not fair to the devs who deserve the credit for their hard work. On top of this, ROMs require different ways to be flashed properly. They have different directions, different issues, different fixes. It would be insanely stupid to consolidate information any more then we already have.
So if your gonna whine, then as I stated in the General Knowledge thread:
Don't flash ROMs, unlock your bootloader, ect.:
If you don't know what your doing, don't do it. If you don't want to take the chance, don't do it. If youre just going to whine, don't do it. Its the simplest solution to not making a mistake and staying stable.

XDA isn't for babies, and its not for noobs to start doing things straight out of nowhere. Don't get me wrong though, most of us have no issues showing you noobs the ropes. Although, if youre not going to even try and just gonna sit here whine wanting to be babied we won't care the least bit about you. So in conclusion -
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Mods pleaseclose this bs thread.

No it is not rude at all. Slapshot30 wrote a guide that was created into a sticky which explains how to root, put cwm recovery, flash a rom, etc. If you can't follow simple instructions (searching before posting) then this isn't for you.

People are very willing to help and most on here do but it's frustrating when someone wants something easier when he has already been directed to the post he needs in another thread before starting this one. The guide that Slapshot created is great and very easy to follow. If that guide is too difficult for you, you shouldn't be doing this stuff to your phone.

You need to make sure your bootloader is unlocked and then depending on what build you have on you will need this root tool

That's actually a good sentiment, and I commend you.
But to single out one kernel as being "the most amazing" when there are more kernels out there that users may prefer is not really what XDA is about.
We encourage all users to try out each kernel on their own and decide which one they personally prefer.
Therefore I am closing this thread down.
Thanks for being an excited and engaged member of our forum, there are tons of threads here to help out people, fear not :good:
