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.

I''ve an HTC Incredible S, it was at Bell's stock version, RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_BM_2.28.666.3_Radio_20.2805 .30.085AU_3805.04.03.27_M_release_199657_signed.

In order to unroot and install the HTC OTA update/RUU:
Can I directly run this zip from HTC site and will it work? OR do I need to follow some other procedure to downgrade my phone to the default image(v2.3) and then upgrade to v4.0 ?
I found this v4.0 for Incrediable S for NAM (Canada) listed on HTCDEV site. Nothing else v2.3 or anything for Bell is listed there.

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.

So keep following the previous guide(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118187) to perform Steps 10,11 for flashing CM7 and Blackrose. Then re-run Blackrose utility to uninstall it. Then lock the bootloader and run RUU from htcdev. Correct?
How do I lock the bootloader again?

The guide to install a RUU is built into the RUU program itself. You run the RUU program on the PC and then follow the prompts on when to connect your phone to the PC using USB cable.
As for which one you need, it depends on what region you are from and if you have a carrier branded IncS or an unbranded IncS. Also, if you have been running any ROM built on GingerBread (Android 2.3.x) then you cannot install a Froyo RUU because the radio image is different and cannot be downgraded.

If you are running Virtuous Quattro, then you have a version 2 radio which was introduced with Gingerbread, so you need to use a GingerBread RUU.
Since you rooted and S-OFF to install custom ROMs, did you not do a nandroid backup of your original ROM before you installed Virtuous?

If you have a backup then just restore that and you should be able to get updates. You don't need to run a RUU to get updates if you have a backup of our original ROM.

You questions are hard to understand, but I'll give it a shot.
Yes, running and installing a RUU will wipe your phone and delete all the apps and data.
If you flash with the 2.30.405.1 RUU, then you should get a notification from HTC that the Sense 3.0/3.08.405.3 OTA update is available and you should be able to get it.
Another suggestion would be since you are already S-OFF you could go to the Development section and download the stock, rooted version of 3.08.405.3 with Sense 3.0 and not lose S-OFF or root.
What update do you require from HTC?
What is the RUU program mentioned above?
what is the RUU program mentioned in the posts above? HTC provides instructions and a way to unlock the bootloader on their site htcdev.com

A RUU = ROM Update Utility. A RUU is an official HTC ROM that you can flash to return to a complete stock, unrooted state on the phone.
This thread has nothing to do with the user wanting to unlock the bootloader. The OP posted already has his phone rooted and now wants to return to a stock state.

Receiving an OTA update notificiation is dependent upon the current ROM you are running and which region/location your carrier is from.

After you install 2.30.405.1, you should get an OTA notification is available for 3.08.405.3 or 3.11.405.2.
If you get this OTA notification, then you should get the ICS notification when it becomes available.

I can only speak from my own experiences. I have a permanent S-OFF IncS with an unlocked CID of 1111111 and I have always gotten OTA notifications with the WWE RUU/ROMs.
What I have observed from discussions on this forum, if you only have a carrier or regional CID, then you may or may not get the OTA depending on if an OTA has been released for your region.
After an upgrade to android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0, i decided to downgrade and s-off my phone to try custom roms.
Now i decided to go back to stock rom's. I managed to flash 2.12.405.7 Ruu and s-on my phone, but i can't manage to update my phone with OTA function.
My cid is 038 and the original firmware was 2.12.720.5. I can't find that version of ruu(if someone has it please share it).
If i create a gold card and use it to flash for example RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1 can i update by OTA to the latest version available?
Your region and your RUU must match for it to get OTA's.
If your CID hasn't changed since the start, you need to run the RUU of what you started with

If you have a 2.x ROM then DO NOT attempt to flash that 1.X RUU. The radio is TOO OLD and you will BRICK YOUR DEVICE.

i can see the next posibilities :

2. cid change (don't know how and if ota update will work)
3. pay for 2.12.720.5 ruu

Is it normal, that the first row in the bootloader is ***LOCKED*** or
is this one of the downsides of downgrading and restocking.
I don't remember if it was originally here.
Another questions is, when the ICS OTA will be here, can i update

Yeah this is normal. I'm not sure if the ICS update will come as an OTA, but as long as the bootloader is locked you should be fine installing any official updates.

With a stock Bell IncS you will only be able to flash any of the North American RUUs. Such as any of the RUU with BM in the file name.
The Sense 3.0 WWE will not install because the NA IncS is modelid PG3212000 and the WWE RUU is for modelid PG3213000.
My Hboot is 1.13.0000 S-ON. Thanks for the answers, can I use any NA RUU or only Bell RUUs? Bell didn't release the sense 3.0 update for Inc S sadly, which is why I want to flash a different RUU so I can have Sense 3.0 while I wait for my phone to come back.

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.
