the eMMC-boot
Nov 1 2011,20:33:03
I am new to this and want to root and install a custom rom like aosp icecoldsandwich. Did my mobile come with factory soff and do i only need to unlock or what? Detailed guided help on rooting it and installing a custom rom would be appreciated.

shipped with S-Off? weird. now youll just have to downgrade your hboot to 1.13 then use revolutinary.
Use this to downgrade http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373697

The question is that is my phone factory s-off so do i need to revert back and use revolutionary to s-off again? I need an expert advise on this.
It still says LOCKED at the top when i boot into bootloader.

Just unlock the bootloader with htcdev.com methode.

You don't need to do any of that ****. Just flash a recovery in fastboot and use it to install your custom rom. Congratz.

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

i m getting an error while running the script..the system cannot find the path specifed...

There was a error. Now my bootloader says:
RELOCKED
Security Warning Still 2.00.000 and every reboot is a boot into bootloader.

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.

S-Off issue

So I did the wire trick successfully and Show S-off. Now I went back through the stock procedure (GB) to (ICS) and then Re-unlocked my boot loader again but now when installing the rom Holics it will say when i choose S-off that the write-boot- assist failed and so it did not write the boot.img. Did I do something wrong?

What does it say when boot to fast boot at top.

Go to HTCDEV.com and download a RUU from that site.
Make sure that your bootloader is LOCKED/RELOCKED and then run the RUU on a Windows PC and follow the instructions.
