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.

But the thing i wanted to ask was...do i need to unlock my bootloader first and then go to with the downgrade procedure..or i can directly start the procedure with my locked bootloader....????

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

Can Someone confirm me that the file provided here is same as that provided in nonverbose thread..the chinese site link is too slow..download speed of 2-3kbps ...and dropbox link doesnt work anymore...

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

Since you are S-OFF, there is a work around, but it is not very noob friendly.
You should look at ARHD v3.0 since it is pretty close to the stock ROM.

If you have a SD card reader, then you can flash BlackRose 2.02.0002 via the PG32IMG.zip method. And then you should be able to copy the ROM to the sd card and install it from recovery mode.

What's in your "install.zip"?
If you are trying to install the BlackRose bootloader just use the file I linked to above.
If you are attempting to upgrade to the 4.10.405.1 RUU via SD-Card then you must extract the rom.zip from the RUU then copy it to your SD-Card and install the upgrade via CWM or 4EXT recovery.
If you have stock recovery & your phone has either a WWE CIDnum or SuperCID then rename the rom.zip file to update.zip to install that way.
If you want to install rom.zip via goldcard then rename it to PG32IMG.zip on your gold card & boot away to upgrade!
Good luck.
P.S.
I know it's been said many-a-time but, to extract the actual ROM-File from the Rom Update Utility (RUU) these are the steps!
In Windows:
Run the RUU<-*->.exe file
When it's done extracting the setup files to your Windows drive, it will pause for user input (like accepting agreements & a "NEXT" button)
Don't give it ANY input but, since the setup window insists on being always-on-top, move it to the edge of your screen to get it out of the way.
With "Windows Explorer" (or similar) navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\"current user you're logged in as"\Local Settings\Temp
Now, make sure you're in Folder/File "Details" view with "Date Created" as one of the details (View->Choose Details...etc.)
Click "Date Created" & scroll down to the 2 most recently created folders (the folders names will be meaningless in this)
Slowly mouse over each of these folders. One will reveal it contains slightly more data than the other (for example 356MB vs 348MB)
Open the larger folder which contains another folder which will contain yet another folder!!
In the last folder of this tree scroll down until you find "rom.zip", THIS IS YOUR UPDATE ZIP FILE!!!
COPY "rom.zip" somewhere else (like the Desktop) as it will disappear when you cancel the RUU Installer.
Now simply move the RUU window onto the screen again so you can cancel it.
THAT'S IT - YOU'RE DONE! You have now extracted the rom.zip from the RUU Installer & can put it to work.
If you're wanting to do this in Linux look out for this tool/file OpenRUU-Xtract-beta2.zip
I think it has a binary for *cough*cough*puke* mac in there too.
I am constantly bewildered why Linux(for computer Genii) is psychologically paired up with mac(for rich hex-illiterate morons) simply because they are both non-Windows!!

@n1cnak I'm very interested in the Virgin and Optus Sense 3.0 RUU's that you made mention of in the OP. If you could provide download links it would be very much appreciated.

You need to update your Revolutionary HBOOT 6.13.1002 to the BlackRose 2.02.0002 HBOOT and then your phone should boot correctly.
The BlackRose thread can be found in the Development section.

OK then it sounds like you need to create a PG32IMG.zip file that contains the BlackRose HBOOT image and copy that to your SD card and flash it that way.
The BlackRose installer relies on adb debugging being enabled, but if your phone won't boot, then that is why the installer stalls at "Waiting for Device".

At this point you are now ready to flash a Gingerbread RUU. That is the final step, the key is to pick one that will change the HBOOT to 1.13 so you can use Revolutionary to S-OFF.
The guide has a suggested ROM you should use.

Okay i used htcdev to unlock again but it is still 2.00.000. So what i have to do then? Just start the ruu.exe or flash hboot.img extract from the Ruu in the thread.

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.

If never rooted your mobile.
Try Removing battery and then turning on (You might have tried)
If this doesnt work and device is under warranty go to service center.
They will fix it for free
Else
You have to root your mobile.

theres your problem. your s off! htc detects this and it wont boot. unlock your bootloader. flash cwm recovery and install a stock based rom from development or a custom one

I have fixed this by flashing with a gb ruu exe file...but now i cannot see the bootloader status....anything to worry???

Everything is OK.
By flashing an older GB ROM, you have a different bootloader which cannot be locked and unlocked. Based on the GB ROM you flashed, you probably have HBOOT version 1.13 on the phone is just fine, especially since you appear to have permanent S-OFF.

Den how can i unlock my boot loader and install custom roms?one more thing can i update my fone via ota?and yes hboot version 1.13

Since you have S-OFF, you just need to flash a custom recovery and then you can install custom ROMs. You don't need to worry about unlocking bootloader 1.13.
