How to S-Off after ICS update

Hey guys, my HTC Incredible S today gets an ICS OTA update. I have updated it. The version has become 4.0.4.
I have never S-Off or Root my device at all. My Hboot 2.02 and locked. Now I want to root my device.
Can anyone tell me how many ways I can S-Off my device? Are there any other ways beside HTCDev Unlock?
I'm looking forward to hearing from you guys soon.

There is a guide in development called All in one for noobs made by me. That's as easy as your gonna get if you want s off

Thanks for your reply. I have read through your post. However, I saw the topic is for 1.16 and 2.0. That's why I feel reluctant whether my hboot is 2.02 which is higher than the topic you posted.
So you mean I can do it by your instructions?

Well since you have upgraded your HBOOT to 2.02.0002, the HTCDEV unlock method is your only choice right now. The tacoroot exploit that is used with the downgrade script does not work with HBOOT 2.02.0002.

Can you tell me how to get s-off after unlocking by HTCdev? As I know, it just unlock the device, cut the security is still on.

With the HTCDEV option you will be able to install custom recovery and then root the current ROM by installing su-3.1.3.zip, but you will not gain S-OFF.
Technically there is a difference, but people tend to use the terms interchangably.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Htc vivid s-off

I want to S-OFF om htc vivid witch is already rooted. So can i just do the wire trick and it will be s-off ?? thanks for the help

Yes but you must be on a stock GB or stock ICS rom and then you can. Read the OP in the S-Off thread and you will be fine

This will help you get S-Off, then you will need to re unlock bootloader using htc dev

Need to return phone back to stock

How do I return my back to stock to send in to HTC for repair? And change hboot to locked
Also where can I find stock splash screen

It's in the FAQs thread right above this thread.

I did one points to ruu but I'll still be s-off and unlocked

Unsure about going from s-off to s-on but relocking the bootloader should be a simple adb command. I'm pretty sure the bootloader relock command is in the above referenced thread via a link.

Yea I know that but it will show relocked when HTC checks it

Search for a modified hboot then? I believe there are a few that will wipe the message, and you may be able to work from there. Relocking the bootloader would just be fastboot oem lock on most devices, but...
...you do remember that your device essentially is logged the moment you unlock your bootloader, right? HTC will know you unlocked the device because you needed their boot keys.

S-off with revone you can relock bootloader with it saying locked and revert back to s-on with simple commands found in 2nd post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582. Once done, you can run RUU

How to Install stock Sense Rom on Google Play Edition

Hi I have the HTC one gpe rooted and with Twrp and I would like to test the new stock Sense 5 Rom with Android 4.3.
I have been following the guide from a website called
htc-one.wonderhowto.com (I can't post links yet)
But I can't go past the change cid step
Also I have hboot 1.54 and s-on
So is this possible? And how do you do it?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

it's not possible. You need to be s-off and you are 1.54. So it's not possible

Thanks, I'd really hope someone could make this happen.
I wanted to try ModacoSwitch but they seem to be using an outdated version for the Sense ROM

You can root your device no matter what update you did. you can use tool kit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38963689&postcount=1
But to S-off your device the HBOOT version matters
Currently S-OFF is available for hboot 1.44 and 1.54
if you got Hboot version 1.55 you will have to wait

Check http://rumrunner.us/ downloads, there are packages for 3.x already out.

Thanks for the replies.
I have the att HTC one. Does that mean only the att forums are relevant to me? Or can I also use HTC one forums and development?

No, you can refer to other forums too. For instance, the rom i am currently using, ARHD(link in my signature), is located in HTC one section, not ATT r any carrier specific forum, but that rom can be flashed on ATT devices too. Similarly other kernels and ofcourse, apps and themes section too

Rumrunner worked perfectly for me on stock 4.3 hboot 1.55. You have to unlock the bootloader first (I used htcdev unlock) and I now have S-OFF, unlocked bootloader, and full root and removed tampered warning.
