I think its because the IncS is harder to root then some of the older phones. Just install SuperUser won't provide root access.. U need to unlock bootloader, flash cwm etc.

Boot Manager

Has anyone tried and had any luck with the boot manager app that is supposed to allow you to install up to 5 roms? It says incredible s is supported but I have tried 3 different roms and all have failed to boot...

4EXTRecovery

Hey, not sure if I'm in the right place or if i should be starting new thread. Please forgive me I'm new to this.
I tried flashing 4EXTRecovery to my Inc s all goes well and get told it has been flashed. When I enter recovery it still shows up as cwm recovery and no sighn of change. Not sure if I've done anything wrong. I'm rooted with unlocked boot loader with s-on maybe I need to be s-off.
Thanks

Try flashing the recovery from recovery
Get the recovery in img format from the 4ext site, put it in your fastboot folder and open a command window there, type "fastboot flash recovery (name).img
Okay I will have access to a PC in an 1 hour will let you know. Thanks :thumbup:

Hey mate, welcome to xda
Easiest way is to download the free updater from here:
http://4ext.net/
Then install it and select which recovery you want.
Or get the recovery .img and flash it via fastboot
But its super easy to just do it via the app I am not sure if you can on the unlocked bl though
Thanks buddy....:thumbup:

I installed 4ext touch recovery successfully but I faced a problem when i make a nandroid backup it makes the backup in a very short period of time so I am not sure if I can restore the backup I made
Because the backup file size is small
PS when I was on cwm, I used to face the people where the backup file size go over 900 Mbs or it says no enough space for backup
Any help would be appreciated

I will check again and tell u

Superuser but no root

Hello captivate guys. I couldn't help but notice my wife captivate has superuser but no root. I downloaded titanium backup it couldnt find a root. So my question is why. Is there a permaroot for the captivate. Or can you download SU without a root. She isn't the first owner of this phone. However shortly after buying the phone I did a factory reset on it. I've never seen this before on her phone. I've seen it on mine because I flash coystom rims on my inspire. Any thought would be great thanks.

It seems as if it needs to be rooted again. You can "loose" root.

Boot Master Pro or Lite

Has any one tried using this app with their Inc S? How did it go?
I've installed it, loaded 3 roms (2 install from zip and 1 nandroid backup) and can't get any to boot. They all get stuck at the Splash screen.
I'm unlocked, S off, using Blackrose and have never had an issue installing those roms before.

I had it, but just for two rom. Do you selected install boot.IMG with?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda app-developers app
I just followed the on screen prompts. Install zip, so I then select the zip I wanted. And when I try to boot to that rom it does nothing.

A reason could be the blackrose hboot with the lip partition..

Do you know of any way to get it to work?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
For me it looks like ics is too unstable for that, it doesn't run on my device flawlessly. You could go back to a non Blackrose HBoot, flash a Rom who don't need blackrose and try it again

BlackRose is a modified Bootloader for IncS that has S-Off enabled and supports the /Lib partition that was introduced in GB 2.3.5 and was carried over to ICS 4.0,4. You must be S-Off using Revolutionary.io before you can upgrade to BlackRose.
Is it necessary? I want to jast root & unlock the phone to install cyanogenmod 10.1 on any stable rom.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda app-developers app
Yes you can, but however you having unlocked your Inc. S with S - On, you will have to boot your boot.img. file manually, Or u will be stuck with the HTC splash screen for hours.
Just flash the boot file from the ROM you download :thumbup:
