The HTC Incredible S is not going to get official Jellybean from HTC. The only way to get Jellybean is through flashing a custom ROM but it will NOT have Sense (unless someone is going to port a jellybean release from HTC with Sense.
I made a guide on how flash custom ROMs and achieving S-OFF which is right in my sig. Just click the link, read once and make sure you understand, then just follow the guide.

true.. HTC will not be officially releasing updates post ICS.. but if you want to install custom Jelly Bean ROMS (there are a plenty), then download the ROMs from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136463
follow the below link for rooting your phone and installing custom ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337105
hope it helps..

Hi dude,what you need is CUSTOM ROMs for sure!But few JB ROMs have sense working bugless now,personally I like HTC sense very much so I'm not going to upgrade to JB recently.

You are correct, there are no ROMs running Sense and Jellybean for the incredible S. Personally, AOSP is much better and fluid in performance

Come on dude...do a search and u'll find everything you need! Simple answer should be yes, but I'm no expert as have never done it myself, but all of the people on following links seem to say you can:

You can always go back to S-OFF with alpharevx again

Thats where my knowledge on this issue runs out my friend. Have you searched every thread to do with gaining back S-ON? It may be worth traulling through in case there's something in there which may help you. Even googling it or having a look on you tube...there's loads about gaining S-OFF so there might be something in there about S-ON.
How to revert back to HTC Sense for Incredible S ?
Hello,
As testing, I installed the latest CyanogenMod ROM on my Incredible S. But I am not at all liking the interface. Are there any ways to revert back to the custom HTC Sense ?
I saw the thread "Incredible S shipped ROMs collection" at 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922'. But I'm not sure on how to do this and which ROM I need to install.
Can you please help me on this ? I miss HTC Sense a lot
Thank you,

I know your pain my friend as I am a fan of Sense, but fear not! There are a number of ROMs using both Sense 3.0 and Sense 3.5 out there at the moment all located in the development section, or nicely packaged in one place here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136463. You would install these the same way you installed CyanogenMod. I am currently running Nikhil - TriNity Sense 3.5 which is currently in the process of being updated, so you may want to wait for that if you fancy giving 3.5 a go, if not then Virtuous Unity is also very good, although again expecting an update. Bslim's ROM is also sporting 3.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265980
If you want to go back to your original stock ROM and did not do a Nandroid backup of it before flashing Cyanogen, then you can download the stock RUU that relates to your version of android and the radio you currently have. Look at your phone info if your are unsure of this. You then download it to your sd card and flash it the same way as all the others. If you did do a backup just restore this and hay presto!
Hope this helps.
Hello VaderXI,
Thanks a lot for replying...
I had done a backup of sense prior flashing cyanogenmod. But while trying to restore from revolutionary, its says md5sum mismatch. Not sure what happened.
I'm planning to use the ROM at 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275609' but the problem is its in Arabic. I hope i can change it when the phone is booted up and it asks for the settings.
How can I get the radio version from my phone ? IIRC, mine was using android 2.3.3 which was the latest version for HTC Incredible S. Why does the available Incredible S roms show up as .exe files ? Are these flashed as the same way as other ROMs ?
To be frank, I'm having trouble detecting the rom versions from the list in 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922'. How can i find something for android 2.3.3 Incredible S which i bought in India.
If the ROM you are using is in english, can you please send me the link for that please.
Thank you,

Cant help with the md5sum mismatch I'm afraid. Did you wipe all your data before flashing i.e. cache and dalvik cache ect?
The ROM u want to use is available in English, like u said just select it in when u first reboot.
U can find ur radio version under settings-about phone-software info-more-baseband version. Match this with the RUU in the thread and ur sorted...it will obviously be a gingerbread version. Yes they are flashed the same way as other ROMS.
All the ROMs are available in English. If they say "full Arabic", that's because Arabic is not always available on ROMs and the developer wants you to know that it is in theirs. The ROM i am currently using is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301785, but it is currently being updated and the download is not available.
All the best.

These are some roms based on Sense 6 and Android 5.0.2 you could try. Which one is better, try yourself and you'll know the one you like the most. You want to know if these roms are stable? Read the OP of each rom and you'll know if its a stable release.
ARHD 90.1
SkyDragon 18
InsertCoin 6.0.2
Liquid Smooth 4.0
MaximusHD 50.0
Resurrection Remix 5.3.0
This is not an exhaustive list. If you want to try/read about other roms than search using the links of post #6

Please follow all rules before opening a thread. Had you done so you would know we dont do best rom threads as there is no best rom. Try them out for yourself and make up your own mind. This is a developers site. Not a rom site. All roms are beta and flashing your device is not something to do just for the fun of it.
