Very nice, I don't really care too much about it since kernels flash normally in recovery unlike the evo3D was a pain in the ass. Not that I flash kernels that often. It is nice to have though for updating radios without it being a pain in the ass or going back to stock without having the relocked flag.

Here is a tool that is in the Development thread you could try. It may not work with your HBOOT 1.16.0000, but it's worth a shot, right?

Go to revolutionary.io. You can s-off your device there.

Although OP did mention alpharevx, the alpharevx site now redirects you to the revolutionary.io site. On their documentation wiki, they state:
HTC Incredible S (vivo) 1.09.0000 and 1.13.0000
So apparently he has a newer hboot version.
Sorry for the confusion, but to clarify i did try revolutionary, but got to it from an alpharevx link, hence the confusion.
I got the same problem here, new IS from Virgin mobile in early this month..... no clue at all....
omg, can we please get a method to get it working? After hours of research and rooting and videos, I then noticed that I had to get "S-OFF", but now I can't do it because the 1.16 version is out.
I'm new to these forums, just basically want to find out an answer, if anyone wants to say something email me on [email protected] as I may not check but I will try to visit and check on it. I'm so excited to root it an install cyanogenmod.
I've got Incredible S on virgin mobile unlocked.
Bump!!!
Every day atleast twice a day I keep looking back at the revolutionary site to see if they have updated anything yet. I'm not sure, but apparently can I goldcard (changing my HBOOT) then I will be able to root... or..? cause it's on 1.16 which is not able to be rooted yet apparently.
Not too sure. So damn impatient!

Looks like they pushed a fix out with a new radio and base software. Good news!
Now just gotta get the optus rom on my phone and update it.
As for rooting your version, looks like your stuck until revolutionary release an update.
Does anyone know if it is a purely a radio problem? If not, if I restore the stock rom (nandroid) would it be possible to flash a custom kernel without screwing up my phone?

It seems as thought it's both radio and software problem.
Neo-X did you try loading the old Optus rom and then allow the OTA upgrade? Did it work?
I bought mine for mobicity then alpharexed it and using ARHD at present.
i guess installing the optus rom then OTA will remove the root.....

No i didn't try it. I just sent it back in to downgrade because i'm giving the phone to a family member and need it working 100%. Yes it will but i would have thought that if you use revolutionary before you do anything that not even an ruu will touch hboot and you will be s-off no matter what.
humm
i think this is more of a sense problem than anything as i have had the missed calls/delayed sms on the HTC sensation Incrediable s and wild fire s
on all of them turning them to 2g only fixes the problem
this is causing me to switch away from htc for now as it kiils the smartphone experience
So is anyone able to answer my question?
I have HBOOT 1.16.0000 and have S-ON
I want to make it S-OFF, but revoloutionary.io only does 1.09.0000 and 1.13.0000
Can I get S-OFF so I can root? Thanks

[Q] What's all the fuss about S-OFF?

So I read about S-OFF and I can gather that it has something to do with unlocking the bootloader. I'm a little confused since I just went to the HTC website and did the official unlock steps, I'm now rooted with clockworkmod CM10.2, and my bootloader is S-ON.
Basically, I never did S-OFF so I'm confused about why it's so important and why didn't I have to do it?

With S-off you can flash everything you want on your phone . Downgrade is a most comun reason.

Some carriers are the only users option in their area.
Like for me, that carrier would be Verizon. They have great coverage.
But they also happen to be evil and had HTC block our HTC One's MID from being able to use the HTC Bootloader Unlock bin file.
It will fail the initial checks after getting the token from you.
We also have the 1.54 hboot as stock, so there is no using moonshine, or facepalm, or any other previous method as of yet.
So in order for poor folks with carriers that strongarm smaller companies like HTC into doing things against their wishes and our wishes,
S-off allows us to then change CID,MID, etc,...as well as then go and unlock the bootloader as we should be able to do by choice.
That's why they built it and added in a warranty void warning, so we could make that choice if we so choose.
Anyway, that should make it more clear to you now at least, sorry for the extra carrier rant, lol.
Plus the obvious other advantages of flashing radios, kernels, etc,...without doing fastboot.
Ah okay. So S-off does similar to the HTCDev unlock? If I used S-Off instead could I get rid of the ugly warning text on boot?
Htc dev unlock only needed partitions. S-off unlock ALL

Yes you could get ride of the warning text with s-off, with s-on you cannot.
Everything what's said above + more , for example if htc one windows version ever gets ported s-off users can have it , we can also convert our device into ge edition / dev edition / flash whatever comes thru your mind , even splash screens , use modified bootloaders , we can also unlock bootloader without need of HTC official unlock process , we can lock it as well ( s-on can only relock it ) we can also completely hide we ever were rooted / unlocked for warranty reasons while s-on can't.
We can also use super cid which allows us to flash any ruu or use any region / carrier roms.
We can also downgrade bootloader or flash any other.
That's mainly it , also for example us with s-off have writeable partitions while for example s-on users still don't on 3.22 base.
And at the end maybe a good thing for you and some less advanced or less knowledgeable ppl s-on is a good thing since with s-on phone is practically indestructible software-wise , while with s-off small mistake even in fastboot could brick the device.

With the HTC One, you can flash radios and kernels in the recovery if you unlock the bootloader...

To get official OTA with updates to firmware, hboot and everything you have to get them from your carrier, and this depends on your CID. You cannot change this on S-ON. So basically your are bound to your carrier for life, they may but also may not release updates (like for ex. carriers in USA skipped 4.2 if I am not mistaken). You can of course flash custom ROM using dev unlock, but it won't update the firmware.
Ah okay thanks for the info! I have one more question about S-OFF if you don't mind: If I S-OFF and disable the red warning (flashing an unsigned fw), then S-ON again, would the warning come back?
If you do s-on with modified hboot will result an instant and forever brick. Dont do that.

Root my new HTC One

Hey Guys,
I just received my new HTC One. Before i just had Samsung Phones (S3,Note 2,S4,Note3..) and I have no experience on HTC with unlock,root etc..
I just want to:
-Root phone
-Install Custom rom
what is the best way for doing this? I have read that there are methods to root my phone without unlock it with HTCDev. Is that right?

You're going to have to use HTCdev to unlock; on hboot 1.44 you could do it with revone, but not on 1.55

No you shouldn't loose warranty, just requesting a unlock tocken, doesnt actually mean you used it (if they actually bother checking??), and there are quite a few guides to go back to 100% stock (including my guide, in my signature... shameless advertising )

That's a good guide, but now that the newer tools are out, you can even remove TAMPERED and set to LOCKED not relocked.
Agreed but he has to start somewhere and it's as handy a guide as any.

totally correct... no provider or manufacture cares esp htcdev... i had to return my on 3 different times all were unlocked and they never bothered to check. It was because of the camera too. I returned the phone 3 times to sprint they didnt care at all... the last time i didnt even bother returning it to stock. When i got my 4th phone and saw taht the camera was still **** i wrote a letter to htc and sent it to them... they replaced it and never ever ever questioned me why it was unlocked.

Harmon/Kardon Edition & Custom Firewater HBOOT

Hey guys, so I got my Sprint HTC One M8 Harmon/Kardon Edition today, rooted it, and achieved s-off. Now I am just wondering if it is safe to install the custom firewater hboot since I am pretty sure that it was made for the non Harmon/Kardon edition. If anyone has any insight, that would be great.

I notice ENG commands aren't enabled though. In the custom HBOOTs I was testing, adding the ENG commands made the device unbootable. I guess they never found a way around that .
