In order to go from HBOOT 2.00.0000 to a S-OFF HBOOT, you will need to follow the Downgrade Procedure listed in the sticky posts of this forum.

I have the same phone , For S-OFF I did the gold card method.

Are you talking about Indian version?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium

yes its the indian version ,but my question is do i need to first unlock the bootloader fro HTCdev.com and then proceed with the hbot downgrade process or i can continue without unlocking my bootloader

The downgrade process is to run revolutionary and not sign away your belongings to HTC
So you do not have to use HTCdev at all with the downgrade
You either unlock via HTCdev or you downgrade to an older s offable hboot, and s off
Lynt's guide is the HTCdev unlock
If you want to downgrade, use nonverbose's guide

I think only going from gingerbread to froyo radio can brick
Not completely sure
Mine did not brick the two times I did it
You can always upgrade again

it would really be great if you can still confirm that changing the radios wont have a negative effect on my mobile

Nope , it worked fine for me...

As in upgrading/downgrading? It is no problem for me, if you flash the correct radio for our device, it is safe and will not cause damage
All I can say is that all the people here who have downgraded probably did not brick their phones
You are safe, but just remember to follow the instructions word for word
And none of us are responsible for any damage, obviously

Sure you can. Just go to google. Search up HTC Incredible S Shipped RUU. This will give u HTC's official release of Android 4.0.4 + Sense 3.6
If you dont want that, then you can always go to the Index of ROMs under the Android development of HTC Incredible S (though Im sure u need a microSD card for this). These ROMs are modified by the devs to make them run faster or to add features.
I really suggest you try and get S-OFF and Blackrose HBOOT first though. Then download Android Revolution HD and Beastmode Kernel and steam right through everything
Ive made a guide on how to achieve S-OFF and Blackrose HBOOT and its in my signature. Good luck hunting though!!

So if i search for the official android 4.0.4 it will be installed on the main memory ?

Yes. It requires that your incredible S be conencted to the computer while u run the RUU. This process taks 10 minutes so sit tight and do something else while rue waiting

Can you give me i direct link. I can't find one...

But u will need to sign up to see the links. Just take the 2 minutes to do so. Its kind of getting harder to find such links cuz HTC's starting to crack down on this kind of stuff. I think htcruu.com was taken down (though i can see a legitimate justification for this)

Witch version i should download? I tink nr. 35 but i'm not shure

I can't install the rom... i get 170 error, it says something about usb connetion...

Make sure you've installed the necessary drivers. You can do so by installing the HTC sync software from their website.
You Jelly Bruh??

Yes, i have htc sync...naw i get erroor 155.

Error 155 means that the bootloader is still unlocked. Did u run nonverbose's script successfully?? and the main version near the end came out as 2.00.......?? If so, rerun the RUU. If that does not work, then relock the bootloader through the code fastboot oem lock. That will relock the bootloader. If you turn your phone on u get **RELOCKED** and **SECURITY WARNING**. Now run the RUU. It should work.

Strange Bootloader Message

Hey guys, since unlocking with HTC Dev site I've noticed a strange warning message on the HTC screen when my phone boots up.
This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action.

is this normal? I'm not sure if the message was there before unlocking or not, didn't pay attention.
In case it's not a normal thing to see here's the full HBOOT details:

Yeah when you use HTC's why of unlocking that's what happens. Nothing to worry about.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

yea that's normal, when you unlock the phone, that's the normal popup warning.. my EVO LTE did the same.. cant wait for S-Off and RegawMOD Bootloader Customizer to get rid of that damn thing.. plus you can hide the **Tampered** logo on the bootloader.. makes the phone incognito, so if someone happens to just look at it, it looks like it is stock

[Q] EE UK ROM? (Need to get OTA back)

Hi folks, long time listener, first time caller.
I have an HTC One (M7_UL) from EE UK.
Last year I unlocked, rooted and tried a few methods from XDA (toning down the crazy vibration, etc), then wanted to go back to stock in order to easily receive the 4.2.2 update that EE were sending out OTA. I messed something up and ended up having to sideload Teamwin recovery and the European 4.2.2 (2.24.401.1) ROM in order to have a working phone again. My own stupid fault. Have had no problems with it since and just left it as is.
However, I recently realised that I wasn't gonna get any more OTA updates, and having very little time to update to different ROMS myself these days, I'd kinda like to go back to the boring, easy life of getting the OTAs (probably six to nine months late, but whatever!)
I have been searching for a while but always end up with about twenty XDA browser tabs open and end up really confused.
The two issues I need to get sorted:
1) Does anyone know if EE UK have their own specific ROM, or if it is just the General European RUU that they send out? I can't find any specific EE ROMs anywhere, months of searching.
2) I only have access to Macs, not Windows machines.

QUESTION - Can anyone help me return to a state where I can receive OTA updates from EE UK *using a Mac*?

Thanks for the quick response cr1960!
First issue:
"First you need to be S-Off, this will NOT work with S-On!!!"
I'm S-On as seen in my bootloader info above. I've read it's dangerous to go back to S-On from Off, so does this mean I can't use this guide, ruling out going S-Off then S-On in order to follow it?

1- you can stay S-Off, it won't affect OTA updates
2- the only reason for going S-On (in my opinion), is if you're selling the phone or sending it in for warranty
3- it's not dangerous to go S-Off to S-On (unless you're using a modded hboot), however, if you do that on hboot 1.55+ it will very likely trigger a "tamper detected - rebooting" and TAMPERED is back in the bootloader, hence the guide says to go from S-Off to S-On at a very specific time.

HTC Incredible S Bricked

Hi.
I found my old phone which I want to give to my father but noticed it was on the bootlogo loop. I then remembered how it happened.
I was playing around with my phone when it just froze. I pulled the battery out and put it back in hoping it to work again.
I've waited for like 5 minutes or so, as it stayed on the logo screen.
I've never thought of doing a backup for my phone unfortunately. If i could get any help on fixing my phone, i would really appreciate it!

Do you have a ROM flashed on to it? If not, then just flash another ROM to it.
I'm assuming that you know how to do this given the HBOOT number. If not, then look at the guides in the Incredible S General.
