Yep. If you we're S-Off with Revolutionary then you cannot use the ICS RUU. The ICS RUU was not able to overwrite the Revolutionary HBOOT with the new ICS HBOOT 2.03 which this ROM needs.
You need to reinstall a custom Recovery and then flash a custom rooted ROM to get your phone operational.

No the radio should not be a problem.
I think that, he could have used the instructions on that link to downgrade and flash the new boot image to his device, and everything would have work.
Follow the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359555 (just de fastboot portion). Download vivo_downgrade.img provided in the previous link. Extract rom.zip from the nam Canada ics 4 ruu. Extra the file hboot_2.03.000_3b35dcew_0828.img from rom.zip and use these to files with the fasboot instructions given at the previous link.

Yes, good call. That should work as a solution. He also could have upgraded the Revolutionary HBOOT to BlackRose HBOOT 2.02.0002 and gotten it to boot.
Lol, I should have used a spell checker to write my post. Sorry about all the mistakes.
Hey thanks glussier and tpbklake for your assistance... I successfully got my phone working with cyanogen mod 7 for now, but I will attempt blackrose and see if I have better results installing that HTC ICS for the IncS
Thanks again
Just an update!
Installed Blackrose then reinstalled the ICS Canada RUU and viola we are in business

That is great to know! Thanks for the update.
Great. Now, if you want to push-it a little, you could try installing a custom kernel such as xs-ics-2.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1851121
I find that I can run @ 1.2 to 1.4ghz fully stable, without adverse effects to battery life, and with a better ics experience.
worked great over Blackrose 2.02
I installed this update this weekend over Blackrose 2.02 and it worked properly.
I'm hoping the devs will use this as a baseline for new ROMS as it is ICS and everything works. The camera, Wifi hotspot, video and all features are operational.
Complaints about this ROM:
1. NEED ROOT ACCESS. After having full access I can't go back.
2. Ringtone and notification are linked. They're not linked under Ice Cold Sandwich or Cooldroid, so there must be a way to break the link.
3. The HTC Sense quick links menu could be so much better. Ice Cold Sandwich did such a great job of this!
4. It's a little laggy at times. Back to all the HTC bloatware, no doubt.

Hey I just want to make sure of a few things before I try this... I saw the thread below but it doesn't saying anything about being able to downgrade later on. I have a Bell incS with the stock 2.3.3 version 2.28.666.3. My phone is not rooted or S-Off but I have made a gold card and was going to flash the WWE RUU 2.30.405.1 to get rid of the bloat. Is it as simple as that? Would it be possible to downgrade back to the original Bell 2.28.666.3 RUU later if I needed warranty with the gold card or not? Also any issues to worry about with debranding like radio/wifi problems or anything else? Thanks

If you don't have S-OFF on your BM IncS, then you won't be able to flash the WWE 2.30.405.1 RUU because that ROM is for the S710E model (model id PG321300) and the BM Incs is a S710A model (model id PG321200) and it will fail with 'wrong model id' error.
If you go ahead and S-OFF, then you can take the WWE 2.30.405.1 RUU and extract the ROM.zip and modify the android-info.txt file in the ROM.zip to change the model id. After that process, you would copy the modified ROM.zip file to the root of your SD card and rename it PG32IMG.zip. Then boot into HBOOT and it will find the PG32IMG.zip file and ask if you want to apply the update. You will then have an unbranded, unrooted IncS. The second advantage of S-OFF is that it will allow you to reflash the BM 2.28.666.3 RUU.
I'm looking at doing the same thing. Wondering if patrick92260 has had any success. I have the Virgin IS and want to debrand it as its loaded with useless BELL apps. Will be attempting this myself, let you know how it goes.
Q: First question is, now that I have the .exe of RUU. How do I go about getting the ROM.zip file.
Figured it out on my own, but for others who are curious.
A:Windows > Run > %TEMP%
Then list by 'last modified folder' and it should be the first one there.
I decided not to debrand the phone because of the different model ID for the Canadian IncS. If you debrand the phone to a WWE RUU it most likely won't ever be able to get an OTA update because when it's tries to update the phone's model ID will still be different. If there is no RUU for that new update then you'll probably be stuck with what you have.
Maybe if the IncS ever gets an actual radio S-Off I will try it.
If you still tried to debrand it though, how did it go?

Just a point of clarification. When I debranded my Bell IncS, I put the original WWE GB 2.12.405.7 ROM on it. I then received the OTA notification that 2.30.405.1 was available, so even though you won't get a Bell OTA, you do get the WWE unbranded OTAs.

Hmm maybe I'll go ahead and give it a try then. You didn't have any issues upgrading to the WWE OTA or have problems once it was debranded? I ask just because I know if you debranded the original Desire it would kill the WiFi and I think it caused reception issues.

I have not had any issues of debranding my Bell IncS with the WWE roms.
The OTA downloaded fine, but like all OTAs, it checks to make sure you have a stock version of the previous ROM, in this case 2.12.405.7. If you have ClockworkMod installed, the OTA will fail because that isn't the stock recovery. I could have flashed the stock recovery and ran the OTA, but I choose to take the 2.30.405.1 RUU and make a rooted version of it using dsi's XDA Android kitchen and ended up flashing that.
Debranding went smoothly. Flashed the WWE just fine after editing the file.
Then went ahead and installed 4EXTRecovery and Virtuous Unity over that though.
Whether doing the debranding helped or not, I'm not sure. Either way I'm down to just essential apps in this rom, no bloatware.
As for OTA updates, who cares really. If you're on this forum, you've got enough knowledge to flash yourself and not have to wait for OTA updates to arrive.
Original Bell Incredible S rom
Any one have the OEM "stock" rom/radio/kernel from Bell in case of warranty?
I did not think about this when I flashed mine and it would be great in case the hardware fail..
everything is working perfectly fine right now so it's just a "in case" question.

No, if you have BlackRose S-OFF, you will not be able to flash the 4.14.405.2 RUU. There is a link in my signature that is a stock, rooted ROM based on this RUU that you can safely install. I would recommend that along with poondog's kernel that is also linked in my signature.

Thanks tpbklake,
I didn't perform Step11, to install Blackrose.
I followed, Step 1, Skipped 2. Couldn't follow Step3, since I had bootrom HBOOT 1.13.0000, I could never get the OEM identifier token. Then I directly performed Step 9 to get revolutionary soff. Then I followed Step 4,5 to install clockwork recovery and root my phone. Then I performed Step 6. That's it. No other steps or flashing of custom rom.
Can I go ahead with the 4.0 RUU from HTCDev?

No. Run the blackrose tool. (Make sure you have CM7 or another rooted ROM for this). Fully run it so that now, in the bootloader, instead of Revolutionary, You should see Blackrose. Then run the tool again but this time select Uninstall Blackrose and at the end of that, you should have HBOOT 1.13.0000. Relock bootloader and then run the RUU.
Or you can just use tbpklake's stock rooted ROM. That was built off the lateset WWE RUU I believe.

But i'm just so confused with all the several stock roms that HTC offers and i just want to figure out which unbranded stock rom (don't require root) should i go with that would receive updates as they get released and would play nice with the Bell Incredible S S710a?
Also if i'm correct, after i S-OFF the device, i just need to install the recovery and then i can just flash the rom throug the recovery (just as i did with my X10) or is there something i'm missing (looking through these guides - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145541 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036581)?

How did you S-OFF? Did you use Revolutionary? If so that is the difference. My was unlocked and S-OFF using the XTC Clip so I didn't need to use Revolutionary.
Yeah i used Revolitionary, don't have or know anyone with a XTC Clip
Meh, might just give up and try flashing the Android Revolution HD rom (since it's essentially that rom, just cleaned up).

Yeah that is the best course of action since you have the Revolutionary S-OFF HBOOT. It is going to prevent you from installing the official IncS Sense 3.0 RUU/ROM. I tried to build a rooted, stock ROM from the 3.08.405.3 RUU/ROM for you guys, but it will only boot if you have the official HBOOT 2.00.0000. It will not boot on the Revolutionary S-OFF HBOOT.
Hello,

Will the ICS work if I just run this update utility on my phone. Or should I wait for a region specific ICS?
You wont be able to Run the RUU due to CID mismatch im assuming you have dont have a goldcard or S-off.

Hey thanks buddy. One question, I am new to HTC but what is goldcard? I understand S-OFF after searching all over the internet.
If you dont mind, do you have stock Gingerbread now on your device or a custom rom?
Goldcard is a modified SDcard that allows you to flash any RUU, inshort it prevents the CID check performed by the RUU.
by the way i am S-Offed with Revolutionary and i have Niks Trinity XL v5.0 installed :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

So can I just proceed with creating a Gold card for myself without S-OFF and run the RUU for ICS update?
or should I be S-OFF as well along with Gold card creation. One last question. Is this the same update that would be rolled out to Indian customers as well or will there be any modifications?
Well there are two thinks that you should consider while going along with the steps
1) if you apply the OTA update to your mobile HTC will update the Hboot to version 2.02.000 something then you will never ever able to get s-off and install any custom roms
2) you can procede with the gold card method and then apply the update,but please proceed with caution any wrong step might brick your phone. i would advice since you are not experienced with rom flashing and rooting to wait for the Official ICS update from India they would be propbably out in a day or 2

To which method are you referring to? References both the downgrade script to gain Revolutionary S-OFF as well as using the stock, rooted ICS ROM built from the RUU.
If you asking about installing the stock, rooted ICS ROM it does not include the radio.img, so it will not update your radio.

Hey, you know what, I followed the exact same steps and now my phones is S-OFF. YAyyyy!
Now please help me out installing the stock ICS with root that you had posted.
Should I just paste it in my SD card and install it through recovery. or should I do anything else first.
Hi XDA, I hate to make a thread about this when there are so many good guides on these forums but I am really stuck. Yesterday I tried to root my phone, which went successfully using revolutionary and CWM. However whenever I try to run a custom ICS ROM the phone will not progress past the ROM's splash screen. I have tried Ice Cold Sandwich and Virtuous Vivo neither which work. After something I did the phone did not advance past the HTC logo after which I reverted to the stock gingerbread RUU. Everything is working fine on rooted gingerbread now but I really want ICS. I updated the radio which I think got reverted when I reinstalled stock gingerbread, I also tried fast-booting the boot.img which also didn't work. I doubt both ROM's are corrupted because I downloaded them on high speed internet. Also tried wiping cache, dalvik cache etc before installing didn't work. Can anyone help me?
phone info:
S-OFF
Revolutionary HBOOT 6.13.1002
Running stock gingerbread RUU
EDIT: Would also like to know if I can install official OTA ICS update on my phone (not out in Australia yet). I have a gold card and s-off but my CID is not htc_001. If someone could link me or tell me how to do that it would be appreciated.

There is now a rooted version of the stock RUU/ROM that can be installed via CWM recovery and preserves your Revolutionary S-OFF. You might want to give that a try to see if you can live with the HTC stock experience.

Thanks tpbklake, downloading now. Will my CID number be a problem? (HTC_621)

No, it installs like any custom ROM via custom recovery which doesn't check for those type of things. You may have to manually put in your APN settings for network access if your carrier isn't listed.

Ok up and running on this ROM. Thanks for the help.
Hi all,
this is my first post and it looks like I can only post in General for now...
I tried all the guide on this website about downgrading HBOOT 2.02 (Black Rose and Im also S-OFF).
I can install RUU ICS and Ginger Bread RUU but Im always HBOOT 2.02.
I dont have the HTC drivers, I use those in the file HTCDriver3.0.0.007 and the batch files in those guides always run without a glitch.
Am I stuck with the RUU ICS ? I find it laggy and would love to install Revolution HD 5.3 or any of your suggestions.
Phone works perfectly with both RUU ROMs btw.
EDIT:
I tried to change the HBOOT manually with fastboot and I get this message: "cannot determine image filename"
Probably a partition problem or a Black Rose problem ?
Thanks

I don't get it. You have Blackrose HBOOT and S-OFF. Why are you trying to downgrade?? ._.

I am having a hard time understanding your current configuration. If you have the stock HTC HBOOT version 2.02.0002, but are already S-OFF, then you simply need to flash a custom recoveyr such as ClockworkMod or 4EXT in order to flash custom ROMs. There is no reason to 'downgrade' if you have S-OFF.
If you have BlackRose HBOOT 2.02.0002 with S-OFF, again there is no reason to 'downgrade' this to install custom ROMs. Again you would flash a custom recovery and then you can flash custom ROMs.
If that does not answer you question, please post a screen shot of your bootloader screen and also the output of this command:
fastboot getvar all
so we can determine your current configuration.
Hello,
thanks for replying so fast.
Yes I have HBOOT 2.02.002 and S-OFF but I lost my recovery (4ext) when I installed ICS RUU. I had problem with the keyboard sometimes probably because I was using the first "official" ICS that came out and it was German.
I only need to replace the RUU with a ROM, but I dont have 4ext anymore and all I could find was a ling to a website to install an .apk but I dont have root anymore.
Thanks again.

With S-OFF, just boot into FASTBOOT USB mode and you can flash a new recovery image using the command:
fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery.img]

Then use ClockworkMod. You can download a .zip file from their website and that should contain the [recovery].img.
Then just reboot to fastboot and use the command that tpbklake advised.

ARHD 5.3 if you want to stick with Sense and ICS. I also would suggest poondog's Kangaroo Kernel.

Well I tried a few ICS ROMs using CWM and I had no problem at all , even for ARHD which suggest using ext4.
I also played a little bit with GB ROMs and IMHO, it is smoother than any of the ICS ROMs I tried. So maybe its time for me to get a new phone. I even wonder how come I managed to use ICS (German RUU) for so long without being annoyed by the lag.
Maybe I should try a ICS ROM without Sense ? Any suggestions ?
Thanks again btw.

No, I have always used a Sense ROM on my IncS. Did you try using Kangaroo Kernel with ARHD 5.3? When I use it with my stock, rooted ICS ROM, it is buttery smooth with no lag.

Gingerbread is smoother because there aren't nearly as many background processes running at the same time.
In regards to Sense ROMs, you can always try Blackout v4 (for Sense 3.6) or SVHD v1.7.1 (for Sense 4.1). Match either one of those ROMs' with poondog's kangaroo kernel and there is virtually 0 lag. Its quite the amazing kernel really (Yay poondog ).
If you want to try AOSP, there isn't much to try for ICS, just jellybean. And there are a number of things I don't like about each but let's not discuss that here since this post good get quite lengthy. Nevertheless, the developers made great strides to provide as best a ROM as they can and each one of the ROMs deserves a try. I would ditch the kernels that they came with and get Tesco-Joey Kernel (also made by poondog).

I cant post anywhere else . This has to be the weirdest board I ever subscribed...
I tried the Kernel with one of the ICS ROM and I couldnt see the difference. Ill give it another shot this week.
Thanks again for all the great tips !
