As a new user to this forum, you need to learn how to search. There are plenty of threads that discuss what the XTC Clip is, what it does and where you can get one.

OK, if you can't take a hint and use the search facility of this forum, the least you can do is Google 'XTC Clip'. You should be able to do that.

if he cannot use the search button or google, I don't think he would even know how to use an xtc clip if he even had one.
the safest thing for him is to stay S-ON I think

I thought it wasnt possible to flash a ROM on your phone without being S-Offed???
Hmmmm shows how much I knew

You can flash HTC signed ROMs using the standard bootloader as long as the ROM you are flashing has the same or large version number.

The GoldCard method should set you S-OFF.
But it's a bit complicated...

It won't work as his software version is too recent.

Forgot he is still S-ON, i was talking about how to Root 2.30.405.1.

HTC & Bootloaders
You may want to review this link.
http://www.facebook.com/notes/htc/update-on-bootloaders/10150305151453084
It may satisfy your needs. Or maybe not.

Nah that doesn't help unfortunately, htc are only unlocking the boot-loaders of the evo 3d and sensation. You used to be able to flash roms with S-ON I did it when I had my desire.

How about Revolutionary?
It seems to work with the Sensation on android 2.3.3, so why not with the Incredible S?
I'm in the same situation right now, android 2.3.3 stock rom on Incredible S with s-on and no way to go s-off software-wise.

This does not work either as the temp root methods revolutionary used to S-OFF the device have been patched in the 2.30.405.1 update.

[Q] stupid starter questions

Hi, I am using IS 4 half year, and I decided to flash this Rom recently. However, I have a few stupid questions and I hope u guys can answer me.
1. What is the tool to wipe my device?
2. Is it ok 4 me to flash the Rom by using '4EXTRecovery v2.1.0 FINAL'
3. When I flash this Rom, am I going to do this through recovery mode or others tool?
Hope u guys understand my English since English isnt my native language.

1. I use arhd's super wipe tool, available from his thread in development section, even for other ROMs and it works fine, or u can do it all manually in recovery.
2. Yes
3. Flash through recovery. Download zip to root of sd card using pc, boot into recovery and follow instructions...simples

I think u need to be s-off before u can root, but I may be wrong. U might aswell s-off as u need this to flash custom ROMs and therefore use ROM manager, as this needs superuser rights which u get with s-off and root.

On the topic of both starter questions and installations, why won't ROMs flash with s-off? What's the big difference between that and s-on and why does one void our warranty with HTC?
(Apologies in advance, if this derails this thread at all.)

You mean why can't we flash ROMs with S-ON! Because this means security on. Basically HTC went and locked their bootloader on most earlier devices and therefore they cannot be hacked. The AlphaRev team have successfully managed to develop a tool to achieve this and enable users to gain root access, install ClockWorkMod recovery (a way of installing custom ROMs and also taking a snap shot of ur current ROM is you mess up and need something to go back to) custom themes etc, etc.
HTC have apparently learnt the error of their ways and promised not to lock the bootloaders in their newer shipped models, however they don't particularly like us messing around with it hence voiding the warranty if you do this...but it is possible to go back to S-ON like nothing ever happened using AlphaRev.
Hope this answers your question, now stick to the topic....
Ha, only joking

Of course I know I need to e-off my device be4 roo/flash rom. What I want to know is : do I need to s-off before using rom manager.

ROM Manger needs root access, so yes you need S-OFF so you can root and install ROM Manager

Thank you, I´ll go right in there...with hope to survive the battle.. :victory:
It did not support my HBOOT 2.01.0001

Did you try the script and it failed or are you saying it doesn't support it based on the description? I've used the script on 2.01.0001 and downgraded many times.
If you ran it and it failed then post the text from the cmd window so people can see where the fail occured.

Please post the command window where you attempted to run the Downgrade script. Either the script didn't run successfully and modify the mainver to 2.00.0000 or you haven't run the suggested GB RUU to downgrade the HBOOT to 1.13.
Please read the instructions carefully. You also may want to look at this post for some suggestions about using the Downgrade script.

If you will change rom, you have to do a full wipe in aroma or in recovery before the flash

To flash a custom rom, you need to unlock your device via htc-dev. I'll put a tutorial video link below.
If you already have the 4.2.2 update, don't worry about new firmware for now. Otherwise, you don't need S-OFF depending on your CID to flash the custom 4.2.2 rom and firmware.
To do a rom swap, you don't need new firmware unless it's a newer base which also got a firmware update from htc

I think is better for him use only the revone tool if he have the 1.44 hboot!
So he can unlock the bootloader and go s-off
Which hboot do you have?

So, turn off your phone and longpress power + vol- and when it reboot in bootloader read the hboot.
After reboot in android with the "reboot" line, for move the cursor you have to use the vol buttons

I think it's not needed, but I'm not 100% sure on this one.
I used 4.3 firmware on 4.2.2 before, but it was a custom pack (this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391611) so I'm not sure if the official one would work
