Can you LOCK the bootloader after unlocking it using the same steps? That would be a first step in restoring to normal if warrenty work is required.

What is this underclocked 2?

If nobody else gives it a try by the time mine arrives tomorrow, I will root my device and then see if I can't reverse it for the sake of warranty preservation.
Glad we are already at this step on Day 2

I did this and I can't see protected apps on the market anymore.. anyone else experience this issue?
A way to check is to try to find Twidroid on the market or really any paid app

its not underclocked. its 1ghz.

im too scared to do it eventhough i knows its easy and no big deal

i think i'll wait until there is a reason to root the phone other then saying its rooted when there's a feature or ROM i can add that's useful like multi touch then ill root my phone.dont get me wrong i got this phone to root it but theres no point rite now

I'm getting mine in the mail tomorrow . I'm not going to root it right away though.. just in case something goes wrong ):

I can see them still, and mine is rooted.
Also, I try to open the superuser permissions app and it freezes every time..This is also both with and without debugging enabled. Anyone else have this problem>?

Same issue here.

well maybe it is underclocked but I doubt it. Google advertises the phone at 1Ghz.

my permisson app doesnt freeze for me but what you can do is remove it and use something like astro to go to your phones root dir theres a folder in there called superroot with the apk for it so you can reinstall it.

Is there a unroot tutotial as well?

Paid Market Apps
I had a feeling, and it seems to have been confirmed, that rooting will not allow me to download paid apps. I know that this was an issue when the G1 was first rooted and it was "fixed." Can someone confirm this issue? This is a big one for me.

I can still see paid apps.

Help with rooting and flashing

First of all I would like to say hi to everybody, this is my first post on this awesome forum I found just today. I would also like to say that I bought my first smartphone a few days ago(HTC Wildfire of course) and when browsing on the internet trying to find out stuff I could do with the new found device I found a lot of people reffering to something called 'rooting' and 'flashing' and 'ROMs' and that doing this enables your phone to have a lot more new functions and stuff like that.
Therefore I have some questions to ask you nice people, so here they are:
- What is 'rooting', 'flashing' and what are 'ROMs' in the first place?
- I found a lot of abbrevations when people described 'rooting' their phones which I did not understand so I'm kindly asking if anyone could please explain the process clearly? (is this the correct process? -> forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7895908&postcount=127 , if it is what is the OTA update?)
- If someone could please explain the process of 'flashing' to me?
- Are there any recommendable 'ROMs' I could try?
I truly thank anyone who would be able to explain this to me and take their precious time to do so. I'm sorry if my questions seem silly but I'm extremely new to the smartphone android thing and therefore I don't understand everything.
Thank you again for your replies, ciroman

- What is 'rooting', 'flashing' and what are 'ROMs' in the first place?
Rooting = gives you/apps on the phone acess to root acount in android wich gives you acess to do things wich you can not do normally. read more about root and superuser(su) here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser
ROM = is sort of the operating system wich most often comes in zip files and is possible to flash to the phone with a custom recovery. this often include apps and modifications wich is made of the person who makes the ROM. also includes superuser acess (root) not allways but often.
custom recovery = a recovery mode wich allows you to do backup of your current settings and evrything else you have on the phone. also makes it possible to flash ROMs wich you have saved on the SD-card
Flashing = this is when the recovery takes your zip file and exctract it to your phone. when this is done you have a new "operating system" on the phone
- I found a lot of abbrevations when people described 'rooting' their phones which I did not understand so I'm kindly asking if anyone could please explain the process clearly? (is this the correct process? -> forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7895908&postcount=127 , if it is what is the OTA update?)
Yes this looks like the process of rooting/installing a recovery.
OTA = Over The Air
- If someone could please explain the process of 'flashing' to me?
wont explain this.. it should be explained somewhere else..
- Are there any recommendable 'ROMs' I could try?
There are only a few ROMs out at the moment..
The only one I can recomend for you rigth now is wildpuzzle ROM by danne_jo there is more ROMs out but I dont know how stable theese are.

I dont garantue that this info is 100% correct and anyone who feels like please correct me if im wrong.
I also take no responsibility for any damage made to your phone by following any of the above information.

Thank you so much for your quick explanation. I must say though that searching for how to flash and root this phone was quite painful for a newcomer like me-took me hours to find the first part and then some to find the second.
I hope following these two guides will get me there
shinelt said:
Prep
Before beginning the process, I would recommend doing the following to your phone:
(1) If you have the original unrevoked root installed, uninstall it by using "Menu", "Settings", "Applications", "Manage Applications" and scrolling to "Unrevoked" at the bottom. Tap it, click "Force Stop" at the bottom and then "Uninstall", "OK" to uninstall it. Then power off/on your phone just to be sure.
(2) If you haven't already installed the OTA 1.47 update, do it now: "Menu", "Settings", "System Updates", and "HTC software update" at the bottom, then click "Check Now" to get the 1.47 update. If you do this update, it takes up to 10 minutes so be patient and let the phone reboot (a few times) until it is done. Then once the update is done, power off/on one last time to get a clean start.
(3) Set your phone to "Charge Only": "Menu", "Settings", "Connect to PC", tap "Default connection type" and select "Charge Only".
(4) Enable USB debugging: "Menu", "Settings", "Applications", "Development", and put a check in "USB debugging".
The root process
(1) Go to Control Panel on your system and uninstall any "HTC" software such as "HTC Sync".
(2) Download the unrevoked3 install package: Go to
unrevoked3 recovery reflash tool, v3.0 and click "Download for Windows". Save the "Reflash-bundle.exe" file somewhere that you can find it on your system.
(3) Using Explorer, run the "Reflash-bundle.exe" file you just downloaded. It'll ask where to install it. Don't just accept the default: change the install location to a folder you can remember: it's just going to unzip some files there: it isn't really a software installer.
(4) Once the files have unzipped, go to the folder you chose in the above step. You should find an "hboot driver.htm" file in that folder: double click on that to open the html instructions on how to install the drivers. Follow the instructions in the html file starting with downloading the actual driver files at the very top. When you download those driver files and unzip those, those are the files (the folder) you'll point to in subsequent steps in those instructions. When done with the html instructions, you should have drivers installed and shouldn't have to come back to this step.
(5) At this point, if you needed to install the drivers, you are probably still sitting at a boot menu on your phone. UNPLUG the phone from USB and select "Fastboot" and then "Reboot" to reboot the phone to restart it. Before the next step, your phone should be on and booted up in its normal operating state (not some boot menu).
(6) If you are running anti-virus software, turn it OFF or disable it now.
(7) Now go to the folder where you unzipped the reflash bundle (step 3 above). In XP or older systems, just double click the "Reflash.exe" file. On Vista and Win7 systems, I'd recommend right clicking on "Reflash.exe" and selecting "Run as Administrator". While this may not be necessary, I know that some USB drivers get really mad if you try to access the USB port without admin privileges (sorry, I'm a coder so I run into that stuff and warn you so you don't have to) so I did it as a precaution.
(8) You should get a window with "Unrevoked 3" on it (on the computer of course). Just follow the instructions in smaller font below "Unrevoked 3" to finish rooting. Note that when it says "Waiting for device", it wants you to plug your phone into the computer via the USB cable. Note that it wants the wildfire to be fully booted normally (not in the Hboot or recovery menus). The prompts at this point are very specific so no need to repeat them. If all works as it is supposed to, the only thing you really have to do is scroll to an item on the phone and select it when instructed. The rest is automated and should result in a "Done" message. The whole thing at this point took maybe one minute so it isn't something you have to wait for or stare at for a long time so if something gets "stuck" for a while... there's likely a problem.
(9) Don't forget to turn your anti-virus software back ON.
Now, when I followed these steps on my Win7 x64 system, reflash.exe detected the phone and started working (we're in step 8 here) but about 4 messages into the process I got the "communications lost... try again" message that unrevoked refers to on today's Twitter. Some say that (contrary to step 1) installing HTC sync actually solves the problem. I didn't try that. After about 6 tries on my Win7 system and even pulling some "tricks" to try to pause reflash.exe at certain points, I gave up and simply booted my old XP laptop and repeated the above steps and it worked perfectly the first time. At the point of the failure, you hear the two tone usb-device-disconnected sound followed by a use-device-connected sound about 20 seconds later. Somewhere in between is where the "communications lost" message appears so it looks like some sort of USB ack/nack issue. Hopefully it'll be resolved soon. My best advice if you get that error: try a new machine. The XP machine that worked perfectly for me had never seen any HTC software. Maybe that helped. And maybe after I uninstalled the HTC software on my Win7 x64 system (the one that didn't work) I should have rebooted before continuing: I didn't because it didn't prompt for a restart and I couldn't find anything "HTC" running in task manager.

I'm just as n00b as you on this. But I'll help you out...
1. After using unrevoked once - reboot your Wildfire.
2. Go to first page on this thread that you read right now.
3. Download the things you want to flash - all links are in the 1st post. - put them on your SD-Card - start with flashing 0001_WildPuzzleROM_v2.zip first - to do this - download that file and save it - anywhere on your SD-card (somewhere you'll remember where you put it). Download and save all you want from 1st post on this thread - to your SD-card...do NOT open the zip files - just copy them to the SD-card.
4. Turn off your Wildfire
5. Turn on your Wildfire while holding Volume Down button - you have to have your SD-card with all the files you want - inside your phone now.
6. This get's you to the boot screen. Wait for HBOOT to say no image...blabla..
7. Push Volume Down to get to option "Recovery" - press Power button.
8. Phone will Reboot to a white HTC screen - and from there go to ClockworkMod Recovery screen - if you did everything correct.
9. Press Volume Down several times - until you get to option "nandroid"
10. Press the round button at the bottom of your Wildfire - the one you use to take pictures when using Camera functions, let's call it the Camera button.
11. You see "Backup". Press Camera button, and wait until it's done backing up your system. Do NOT turn off your phone! Wait until it's done. It will say Backup complete!
12. Next if you want. But only if you want - you don't have to - you can Wipe / Factory Reset your phone, saves a lot of ROM space and Memory. Phone WILL be slightly faster if you choose to do this - but all your programs and settings will be gone - Your choice.
IF you do NOT want to Factory Reset your phone, skip steps 12 & 13.
IF you want to do this then push Volume Down until you get to option "wipe data/factory re" (probably reset, but only show until re on my phone) and then press the Camera button.
13. As to make sure you really want to do this, you need to confirm... push Volume Down until you reach option "Yes -- delete all u" - then press Camera button and wait.
14. Now you can start flashing. Push Volume Down until you reach option "install zip from sdcard" Press Camera button.
15. Push Volume Down until you reach option "choose zip from sdcard". Press Camera button.
16. Find where you put the files you downloaded from post 1 on this thread. Choose 0001_WildPuzzleROM_v2.zip. Press Camera Button.
17. Push Volume Down until you reach option "Yes - Install 0001_W". Press Camera button. Wait for it to be done.
18. Repeat steps 14-17 with the other files you want to flash. IF you want to Flash files that are 0900 or higher. Reboot and change Wallpapers before you do.
To reboot Press Power button to go back and Press Camera button on option "reboot system now". Then repeat steps 5-7. If you need help changing wallpapers too let me know and I'll try to explain that too.
When done flashing the files you want. Reboot. And you're done.
First reboot after flashing Wild Puzzle Rom takes a very long time. Be patient.
I hope this guide made sense. If there's anything unclear let me know and I'll be happy to clarify. Thanks and Good Luck!
*EDIT* Just saw that someone else made a guide too, well at least there are people wanting to help us n00bs. Thanks. and I think both guides should work. Hopefully you'll make some sense of them *ENDS EDIT*

HTC Incredible S Rooting Guide (COMPLETE)

HTC Incredible S Rooting Guide
What we will do?
1. Install HTC Sync
2. Downgrade the HBOOT to 1.13
3. Create a GoldCard
4. Run the RUU update
5. S-OFF through Revolutionary
6. Gain root access using SuperUser
7. Install custom rom (Lacoste Mod V5)
What we need?
1. HTC Incredible S
2. MicroSD card (2GB, 4GB, 8GB)
3. USB Cable
4. Windows PC (XP, 7, 8)
5. HTC Sync
6. Downgrade
7. Goldcard
8. RUU
9. Revolutionary w/ BETA Key
10. SuperUser
11. Custom Rom (Lacoste Mod V5 is the best and has the least bug from all the custom rom I have tried, it has a
working camera, video playback, youtube, fast performance, latest 3.0 kernel, volume wake,
included Sweep2Wake to use the capacitive buttons to wake the phone.)
Notes:
1. BACKUP any data on your phone that is very important
2. It's best to factory reset your phone and format your SD card to ensure 99.9% success.
3. Don't attempt to run any registry cleaner like CCleaner or ACS until we finished rooting your phone, OK?
4. This method worked flawlessly on my HTC Incredible S GB-2.3.5 Sense-3.0 HBOOT-2.00.0000, if your phone is
Gingerbread (not Froyo or ICS), Sense 3.0 and below, HBOOT 2.0 and above, then it should work... As I have
said, all HTC Incredible S that have upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich must DOWNGRADE it first to Gingerbread
before continuing to this tutorial... Look on threads on XDA on how to downgrade your ICS phone.
Let's Start...
1. Make sure you have Admin account on your Windows PC or else we can't proceed. It is also advisable to use a
fully charged laptop (not a slow netbook or tablet) connected through a charger so if the power supply fails
while we're in the rooting process, your phone will not be bricked... And also use a fast performance PC or
laptop to avoid hanging ar freezing computer.
2. Install the HTC Sync included, Restart PC, Uninstall the "HTC Sync" ONLY on control panel and leave all other
drivers, and please don't attempt to run any registry cleaner like CCleaner or ACS unless we finished rooting
your phone, OK?
3. Place the folder "HTC Incredible S Rooting Guide" on Desktop for easy access.
4. Open this folder, open "2 - Downgrade" folder, click "runme.cmd"
5. Now it will ask question based on your phone
a. Do you have UNLOCKED ICS?
n - if you are not running the OFFICIAL ICS rom from HTC and has the stock gingerbread rom (2.3.5)
b. Do you have root?
n - if your device is stock and never been rooted before
c. Do you want to create goldcard?
y - best choice to avoid CUSTOM ID ERROR while running RUU
d. Do you unlocked on HTCDev?
y - IF THE MAIN-VERSION 2-3 steps above tells 2.00.000 (look on the output texts above the question!)
n - IF IT DOES NOT STATE 2.00.000 or if you have an unlocked bootloader from HTCDev.
6. You may receive this error during the script operation "rm failed for /data/data/recovery/log, No such file or directory"
This error can be disregarded. NOTE: If your device shows HTC with red triangle!, press VOL+,VOL-,POWER at the same time
and choose reboot, then run the runme.cmd again...
7. Read the script and make sure there is no error, if it has, close the cmd and click "runme.cmd" again...
8. NOTE: if the script write to many "The file specified was not found," disconnect the phone and connect it
again and click "runme.cmd" again...until you succeed. If it still shows "The file specified was not found"
disconnect, restart pc and phone, and follow again the procedure.
9. If all run successfully without error, proceed with the RUU.
10. This stage is very CRITICAL, if the RUU update proceeds, do not attempt to remove the usb of turn off the PC
or else you will brick your device.
11. Click "RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed.exe"
12. Next, Next, Next...
13. If it shows CUSTOM ID ERROR, you need to create a goldcard because the downgrade kit might not succeded in
creating goldcard in step 5. Search threads on xda on how to
14. If it seems to proceed without error, do not attempt to remove the usb of turn off the PC
or else you will brick your device. Close any open application on your PC to ensure it won't hang...
15. The RUU will run less than 10 minutes, if it's 20 minutes or so, there might be a problem (slow pc, faulty usb cord, etc)
16. When its finished running, you can verify if you have 1.13.0000 hboot by entering hboot (power on phone + vol down).
17. Then you can run revolutionary to get your s-off. FIRST, press windows + R, type cmd. Open the "Revolutionay folder"
click the address bar and copy. NEXT, on the cmd, type "cd(space here) then right-click paste. NEXT, type revolutionary.exe ENTER NOW!!!
input the beta key and wait...Download recovery? y- if you have internet...
18. Power OFF, press power + vol down, and see if it says
****Revolutionary****
S-OFF
6.13
19. Reboot, connect your device through mass storage. Copy the files "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed",
"Lacoste_ModV5Incredible S_03.05", and "gapps-jb-20121212-signed" on the root of your SD card (not on any folder, just on the card itself)
20. Power OFF, press power + vol down, now go into RECOVERY, Install zip on SD card and choose "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed". Wait. Choose Reboot Now...
21. Power OFF, press power + vol down, now go into RECOVERY, Install zip on SD card and choose "Lacoste_ModV5Incredible S_03.05". Wait. Choose Reboot Now...
22. Now it will load for less than 5 minutes, it it stays into a bootloop for more than 10 minutes, power it off by pressing the power button for 10 seconds or
remove the battery. Press power + vol down, now go into RECOVERY, Install zip on SD card and choose "Lacoste_ModV5Incredible S_03.05". Wait. Choose Reboot Now...
It should work now...
23. After it successfully booted into the homescreen, reboot the phone twice to ensure that the Home button will still work before flashing the Google Apps because it is a bug.
Google Apps will install some Google applications like a working Play Store and Google Now (like Siri on iPhone).
24. Power OFF, press power + vol down, now go into RECOVERY, Install zip on SD card and choose "gapps-jb-20121212-signed". Wait. Choose Reboot Now...
25. Now, everything should work fine. You are now using a Jelly Bean rom and can install limited apps to Gingerbread before like Google Chrome, Google Keep,etc.
It is advisable to download these apps available only on rooted phones
Cerberus - the best anti-theft app
Game Killer - cheating games
Lucky Patcher - removing license verification and Google adds on applications.
Root Explorer - remove the old chinese app using titanium backup and replace with the official RE app.
SetCPU - overclock your phone up to 1.2 Ghz-1.3 Ghz only to avoid overheating and battery drain.
Startup Manager - remove uneccesary startup, enable all system apps to ensure a working phone.
Sweep2Wake - included, use the capacitive buttons to wake the phone.
Titanium Backup - Freeze bloatwares, uninstall system apps.
CONGRATS!!!

Considering that you've made 283 posts on xda, don't you think a simple google search would have given you the VM RUU that you want? And no Crickets will not work. Sprint, Boost, Virgin Mobile RUU

HTC Incredible S alive again! S-Off not possible at the moment, though.

Hi all,
First of all I would like to say how awesome this site has been. I knew nothing about my first venture into rooting a phone so this has been a learning experience.
Right - now for those who have a HTC Incredible S and are looking to breathe some new life into this device (like I have purely for giving to my son to watch YouTube - so no calling, texting, etc) this is what I did (all information sourced from various threads on XDA and some external links as well):
1. Read through the following guide: {[GUIDE]} HTC Incredible S Unlock Bootloader, flash recovery, Root, S-OFF. Note: It appears that it is no longer possible to get S-OFF due to the Revolutionary site no longer existing. So you will have to stop at the end of Step 5.
2. Assuming you are using Windows 10 I had to do the following in order to successfully connect to the HTC Incredible S using fastboot/adb:
1. Install HTC Sync.
2. Once you have done this go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features then uninstall the HTC Sync program (the one with the sync icon) but leave the drivers etc installed.
3. Then download and install the Android SDK and update it as per the instructions https://www.andreszsogon.com/using-android-8-and-9-emulators-without-android-studio/
4. You then want to create a folder called C:\Android.
5. Now browse to the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder and copy the adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll files to C:\Android.
6. Now make the changes to the registry. Put this in a *.reg file (with your texteditor and rename the file to e.g. import.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\0BB40FF00100]
"SkipBOSDescriptorQuery"=hex:01,00,00,00
Then import that import.reg via regeditor (as admin) into your registry. Then reboot your computer.
7. Restart your PC.
8. If you are unlocking the bootloader for your HTC device - put the "fastboot.exe" file from the HTC Dev webpage (https://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/) here as well. Also put any recovery mods, roms, etc here as well.
9. Make sure - if you can that - that you boot your phone normally and go into the settings and turn USB Debugging "ON" and Fastboot "Off" (the second one is you can get to the bootloader on your phone using the appropriate key combinations). You may also want to turn on the option to install apps from unknown sources. Power off your phone.
10. Now turn on your phone into Fastboot mode then connect it to the PC it should change to Fastboot USB.
11. Open a command prompt as administrator and browse to C:\Android. You should now be able to use the Fastboot command.

3. You should now be able to complete steps 2 - 5 from the guide.
4. For my HTC Incredible S I went with the following:
Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.2.0 (download it here: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivo.img)
Root obtained using SuperUser 3.1.3 (filename is Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39959468#post39959468)
Installed Unofficial CyanogenMod 10.1 for vivo (download it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2127020) [EDIT: You may or may not need to also install this patch for it as well https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38765296&postcount=493]
Installed Google Apps (Gapps) (download it here: https://www.teamandroid.com/gapps/ Just scroll down until you get to Gapps CyanogenMod 10.1)
Thanks all!

Hi. Yeah, tried that.
While you can download the required zip file it doesn't let you generate the beta key required.

How about the solution posted here?
