[TOOL][SCRIPT][05 Sep 2012]S-off for HBOOT 1.16 and above[v3.4.1]

Detailed in this post is a way to downgrade your Incredible S Hboot version 1.16 and above to version 1.13 so it can be s-offed using revolutionary. This is made possible with the TacoRoot exploit, an unsecured kernel, misc_version_universal and an automated goldcard algorithm.
Please note that phones with the latest ICS hboot (2.02 currently) will have to be bootloader UNLOCKED from htcdev.com. If your hboot 2.02 phone does not have an unlocked bootloader, do NOT run this script.
(Insert usual disclaimer: not responsible for your bricked phone blah blah etc).
Beware also that you will lose everything on the phone so back it all up if necessary.
Always make sure the script has completed without error before continuing with the RUU downgrade.
Requires:
MicroSD card (2GB,4GB or 8GB recommended).
Windows PC.
HTC Sync (Installed then uninstalled for ADB drivers).
View attachment IncS_MVDTKv3.4.1.zip [highlight]Link to post, not attachment. No mirrors please.[/highlight]
RUU used for downgrade, model number PG3213000(Typical IncS)
Dropbox Mirror
Alternate RUU for Canadian Bell or South American IncS users, model number PG3212000
Dropbox Mirror
Procedure:
Extract all the files from the downgrade toolkit to your PC and run runme.cmd, following the instructions on screen. The only inputs you should be required to make are:
1. Answering y or n at the prompts
2. Rebooting your phone out of recovery (also when/if prompted)
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.
Then run the RUU Downgrade (takes a while, around 10 mins so be patient).
When its finished running, you can verify if you have 1.13.0000 hboot by entering hboot (power on phone + vol down).
Then you can run revolutionary to get your s-off!

Support: (Before asking for help make sure you read and follow the instructions in both the procedure and the script)
While every possible precaution has been taken to ensure the script works on all versions of our phone under all windows environments, there is a possibility that you may get stuck on a step and require assistance. To make this process go as quickly as possible for both parties, please include the following information when requesting help:
A full output of the script, either by screenshot or copy/paste
The operating system specifics: hboot version, stock or custom(provide name) recovery or Rom and if the phone is rooted
(optional)An output of the command "fastboot getvar all" deleting imei and serial no.

Just ran through the process, worked flawlessly. S-OFF at last!
Forgot to try without creating the Goldcard so can't confirm that one.
Thanks again NonVerbose.

Just to confirm, the gold card is required.
So happy to finally have s-off. Very annoying not being able to use OTA updates.

Cheers for the confirmation st.matt. I'll edit the guide.

Can this method of downgrading to HBoot 1.13 be used after unlocking the HBoot 1.16 via HTC method?

There should be no problems using this downgrade with unlocked boot. Be aware though that when downgraded, the 1.13 may be locked... until you use revolutionary of course

Have to try this on my girlfriend's IncS. Haven't had any luck making goldcards though.. never seems to work for me
Should be able to restore her nandroid backup once it's all done though, right?

Yes, as soon as the s-off process is complete you can restore nandroid or any other backup with no fear of losing s-off.

Cant seem to get it working
Hey guys, I gave this a try last night with no success.
I have 2 IncS, 1 came with HBOOT 1.13, and the other 1.16. I have made a gold card in the past for my first IncS so that I could get temp root access and upgrade using an RUU without issues, but this time i ran into a few problems.
The second IncS has been unlocked via HTC dev, is rooted and has ARHD 1.19 on it (HBOOT 1.16)
Followed the guide exactly as described, but when I got to the point of running the IncS downgrader, there were a couple of errors (sorry, forgot to note them down), but by the time the process got to the end, it reported that is completed successfully?
When I ran the RUU, it said i was upgrading from 2.30.405.1 to 2.30.405.1? I was expecting to see from version 1? I got an error pretty soon saying I need to use the correct RUU to upgrade, and couldn't get any further.
So then I ran the downgrader again, but half way it got stuck in a boot loop. I left it alone, and 5 mins later, the batch file completed (without errors), but remained in the boot loop. I waited another 10, but it never left the boot loop, so I continued with the RUU upgrade. This time it told me i was upgrading from version 1 to 2.30.405.1, it got a little further (deleting user data, then sending....), but stopped again.
Removed battery, rebooted into fastboot mode. Ran the downgrader again, and it completed successfully without any issues! Ran the RUU, this time it got a little further again, it told me it was deleting user data, then sending.......
Eventually it threw another error, and remained on the black screen with the HTC logo (no progress bar, and nothing in the corners either)
I removed the battery and booted into bootloader. It went into what looks like the usual bootloader screen, only the following message was displayed:
ruu error
Security Check Failed!
At this point i thought I would have to restore the nandroid backup i made before beginning this process, but when i put the original micro SD card in and booted normally, the rom was exactly as i left it!
I did this on Windows 7, with all drivers installed (I use this notebook for android app development, so I know the SDK and drivers are complete, and my first IncS is used for debugging apps), and I used a very old 256Mb micro SD card to create the gold card.
I know it's a lot to ask, but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback arhidi, sorry to hear that you're having problems.

Security check failed points to a problem with the goldcard try creating it again using the steps in the guide.
Try turning fast boot mode off if you haven't already (Settings » Power » Fastboot)
Please run the downgrader while the phone is booted normally (charge mode) as the temproot could be negated between leaving fastboot and booting the rom.
I'm assuming you are using a stock rom, the RUU should be reporting that you are "upgrading" from a higher version to a lower version.
One last thing, the phone should not be rebooting through the main version downgrading process (runme.bat) if it does please run it again before continuing to the RUU downgrade step.
If you receive errors in the main version downgrade, please note them and report back.
Good luck
Edit: sorry didn't see you're rooted and running custom rom
An alternative to running the runme.bat you can just copy the misc_version to your ADB folder and enter the following commands:
Code:
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.00.000.0
exit
Then run the RUU

I have a spare 2Gb micro SD, I'll try creating a gold card with that instead.

Thanks again.

No problem, let me know how it goes. The guide was actually written for stock ROM but it should be able to work with custom.

Can you restore back to stock rom? The ruu must be checking the installed from before it updates.

If you're getting error 155 and your gold card definitely works then try going into fastboot before starting the RUU downgrade.

As far as I know there's no software to verify the creation of the gold card. The only way to know for sure is if the card mounts properly and works with the ruu downgrade.

Ok - it's sending now... let's hope it works!

Verizon Htc one, rom reboots every few minutes.

Hello guys Im having a problem with my vzw htc one and I know its my fault, I basically soft bricked the phone however it loads into currently installed rom (I had 3 and only one that would load) I have but reboots every few minutes with no access to the internal memory. I was trying to install Google play edition 4.4 kitkat however I forgot the radios are different for our phones and I installed the incorrect radio so now I am stuck only with the bootloader and CWM recovery but I cannot flash any files through fastboot because its apparently still locked (im getting the remote not allowed error) My phones is S off and rooted (I used rumrunner) . I have tried to mount usb storage in recovery with no luck and I have tried to flash a new rom and radio through boot loader but its locked and htc dev wont let you unlock our phones so im kinda stuck
If anyone has a solution to my problem I would really appreciate it I use my phone for a lot of stuff while deployed here in Afghanistan I use Roshan prepaid sim card works well.Thanks for any help and have a great day !

you can download any flashable radio and replace the radio.img in the zip with yours and flash it in twrp.
here's one of mine >> http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358550122
Edit: and did you look at scotty's lock / unlock page ?
Also the Carbon rom could be part of your problem
try a normal Sense Rom - like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2693502

I did see that and cool I will use yours. I guess I will try to unlock it in case this happens again but ill probably never mess with the radio again lol.
i wasnt using the carbon rom anymore i had 2 more roms on my sd card and when i flashed the incorrect radio the other two wouldnt even work. thescreen was black when it loaded. carbon rom is the only one that would load but it just reboots every few minutes i tried to copy the files on the sd card before it rebooted but wouldnt work
just out of curiousity how would i flash that with the bootloader locked. i really want to know incase something ever happens again. im still learning alot of this stuff lol
Im going to unlock the hboot real quick and see if that works. you should private message me your paypal im going to buy you dinner for all your help

btw this my current radio 4T.21.3218.21 im guessing it doesnt work with verizon htc one lol.

[Q] Unlocking bootloader

Hi all! First of all I'm sorry if this has been asked previously but after 3 hours of searching I was unable to find a straight answer and I have tenths of bookmarks opened...
Right so, just got my "new" (used) phone delivered today. 6 months old, currently running stock 4.4.2 with Sense 6.0 under the GiffGaff network. Straight away I went and tried to flash a new ROM onto it (flashed a few roms previously to my HTC Sensation with no problems). So just the usual routine: fastboot > HTCdev > get token ... and here where the first problem occurred. I couldn't get the token as I was getting the following error:
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.010s]
finished. total time: 0.010s​Restarting the phone/PC didn't help, changing USB debug on/off also didn't help. Fastboot unlock oem command didn't work either as it gave me the same error. So I went and downloaded the Hasoon2000's AIO tool to see if that will work but again no luck. When hitting the "Get Token ID" I get an error that the phone is offline - . - . So I had a little search on the net and found out that maybe it's due to my HBOOT version which is 1.57 and is S-ON . However I have no idea how to change that nor if it'll actually solve my problem and I don't want to do anything outside the box so that I don't get my phone bricked.
Any ideas what might be wrong/what am I doing wrong/solutions? I'm clueless at the moment and about to run out of patience... Any help is more then welcome

usb debug doesn't matters in bootloader, only in the OS or in recovery for adb commands.

Hasoon2000 did a great job with his toolkit, but I recommend (and many others) not using toolkits. use fasboot and adb directly from the command window, much better when you are trying to find what doesnt work. Be sure to have the latest sdk on your computer, and latest htc drivers. Also make sure to use 2.0 usb ports, not 3.0

Thanks for the reply mate. I watched the video again but I had no luck. However, thanks to that video I went and downloaded the huge SDK archive from HTC site. Instead of using the small archive with "essential" files for the adb, I used the one from HTC site (it has many more files in adb folder) and guess what, it worked! Now, I'm very happy that I finally unlocked it but my question now is, why didn't it work with just the "essential" files? All tutorials videos/forum posts etc. mentioned just the 4 files and not the big HTC package so if it wasn't for the fact that I was desperate I don't think I would of ever unlock this biatch...

Right, instead of creating a new thread I'm just going to ask here. So I successfully unlocked the device and using this video I tried to root the phone. Everything went smoothly, all successful and so on. However when I downloaded the root checker it gives me a message saying the the device is not properly rooted . I then tried with firewater s-off but no luck here either. I've attached the image of how my cmd looks when trying the firewater method. I really thought it's going to be a bit easier to flash this phone... Any advice here guys?
Edit: I just realised that the phone is still S-ON...how did this happen even tho I successfully installed everything that's required...?
Edit2: Tried the temp-root method with firewater but even this doesn't work. I'm getting an error and fail messages (image attached). I think I've run out of ideas here :/

first, why are you trying to s-off? s-off is not required to flash custom roms (except for GPE roms), only an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery (twrp 2.6.3.3) are needed. You definitively need a fully rooted phone to use firewater and an unsecured kernel would also help. Btw almost all custom roms out here are pre-rooted, so just flash a rom and you'll be fine.
and that video you have linked is very outdated, twrp 2.5.0.0 lol. just flash twrp 2.6.3.3 and then boot in recovery. Quit the recovery and you'll be prompted to install root.
but anyway, is your goal is to flash a custom rom, you don't need to root before, they are all (almost) pre-rooted.

I got lost a little bit with all the tutorials I found, that's why I thought I need s-off lol. I know the video is a bit old that's why I used twrp 2.7.1.1 with SU 3.2 .

Make a backup using TWRP first..
Also the file you should have used should be SuperSU-2.02.. but if you are going to flash a new rom, point is moot.

Need help finding

Need helping finding a stock Non HK rom of Software 2.16.651.4. I need to unroot my device and have failed at finding a 2.16.651.4 backup to be able to flash back and unroot. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. I have done hours of google searches and haven't been been to find anything other than odex or deodexed roms which won't work. I tried using a back up and flashing back to an older software version but it failed to update back up so had to reroot. Can anyone please help

Here is the 2.16.651.4 RUU, straight from HTC. Look under the section titled "Manual System Update Instructions". This will unroot your device and install the stock Android system recovery. If you're S-on you'll need to relock the bootloader first using the command "fastboot oem lock" (from the bootloader) while connected via Fastboot USB mode. If you're S-off you do not need to relock the bootloader. Afterwards, just follow the instructions on HTC's site to install the RUU.

Cheers mate but I'm not sure what you mean by fastboot oem lock. Do you have a video tutorial? or instructions? I have been using the All In One Tool.

Fastboot oem lock is a command that you type in to a command terminal on your computer while your phone is connected via Fastboot USB mode. The command relocks your bootloader. You need to have a working ADB/Fastboot environment set up on your computer first in order to do so. Hit the link below for more info.

This is a reason I hate toolkits. They simplify everything but don't teach you very little, if anything

Okay thanks. Could I just use the tool kit to relock the bootloader and everything then use the RUU to update to the current version? I am not sure if I can do it following that method. To relock it anyway. Also to do this method do I need S-Off because I do not have S-Of.

If the toolkit has that capability, sure. As far as S-off, no, you don't need it.

It does have the capability to relock the boot loader you just need to flash a stock backup to do so. Which is why I posted originally. The only stock backsup I can find are for version 1.54.x which I tried using but it failed to update to newer versions got the red triangle so I had to re root. to flash the current firmware. The only versions of the current firmwear I can find is stock odex and deodexed which I was told won't work. If I do it the adb way d I need to be on 1.54 or can I still be on the 2.16 rom. If I could just find a stock rom or backup (deleted mine by accident) t would be much easier.

Here is a stock rooted ROM based off the latest OTA update. Download & flash in recovery:

Why again are you trying to unroot your phone?

You should be able to open a command prompt/cmd window from the toolkit.
Once open type
Code:
adb devices
This should return your serial number with Device next to it
If it does type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once in bootloader type
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then run the RUU in post 4 Magnum_Enforcer linked you to.
You will be completely stock afterwards

Don't know much about SIM unlocking so I can't answer that part of the question. Updating via RUU, OTA or custom ROM won't put you back S-on.

I wanted to know If anyone had a link for the 2.16.651.4 stock recovery

[Q] turn at&t version to default stock android version

Hi ,
I am new to this site.. and I am looking forward to some help from you all.
I recently bought a US at&t version of HTC one.m7. And I Want to remove at&t version.of it and instead put the basic latest version of android 4.4.2.:::: currently.it has the latest version.-- at&t android version 4.4.2 on it . And the other problem is with tat of 4g network ... We don't have 4g network here in Chennai ,India but my phone is showing 4g sign which I believe.is eating my batter quickly ...
So how do I go abut it :crying:

Now that i have sucessfully unlocked my at&t htc one m7 ... but when is open the cmd prompt and type " fastboot flash recovery ( openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.2-m7.img ) ... i get a error after that .. Now since i hava an at&t android 4.4.2 and am looking for default htc international stock android kitkat .... So where did i go wrong ???

C:\Users\AJIT\Desktop\OneDrivers_Fastboot\Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery openr
ecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img
target reported max download size of 1514139648 bytes

It seems that fastboot is not able to see the file, are you sure you have the .img file in the correct folder? It should be in the Folder where fastboot is located.
Or you can do it this way, type the first part of the command leaving a space on the end
Code:
fastboot flash recovery
Then drag and drop the recovery .img file into the command window, then hit enter.
You should use twrp 2.6.3.3 though it is the most stable version and 2.5.0.0 is not compatible with kitKat roms.
Also you should know that if you want to convert to HTC Unbranded you will need to achieve s-off. It would be better to do that with the rooted stock Rom so after you flash the custom recovery and root the phone you should gain s-off before doing anything else.
Please can you post the output of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
please edit out your serial and imei numbers for security. From this I can tell you the best way to get s-off

After you have flashed twrp boot to twrp recovery. When you reboot the phone from recovery it will prompt you to root the device. Select yes and twrp will root the phone for you
When the phone has rebooted launch the SuperSU app twrp installed as it may require a binary update just follow the instructions in the app.

Tampered and unlocked is normal. The bootloader detects the root so the Rom has been tampered.
Did you flash the 2.02 supersu zip?

looking for orignal international 4.4.2 , sense 6 . OTA version ( orignal rom)
hi guys ,,
i have an AT&T 4.4.2 , sense 6 version ,,, and i am looking for orignal ( not customised ) international 4.4.2 , sense 6 with real time OTA ... I have already unlocked and rooted my phone by using supersu v2.02 with "" openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7 """ image ..
Reason i am doing so is because in India we dont have 4g network and my phone is only running on 4g cellular and data network as it has no option to toggle between gsm /3g /4g and is eating my battery like any thing ....
Would really appreciate any step to resolve this issue ...
And are custom rom's trustworthy ... and do they get automatic firmware and software updates ???

I moved the above post from the separate thread you made into this thread since your two threads are related. My post will bump this so that hopefully someone will be able to point you in the right direction. Good luck finding what you need!

I need you to post the out put from getvar all to give best option for s-off. Connect the phone with fastboot usb in the bootloader. In the command window type
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Edit out your serial number and imei and post the output here.

like Danny asked and like I asked in your other thread that was closed by a mod, we need to know your "fastboot getvar all" REMOVE your IMEI and SERIALNO.
Edit your above post and remove your IMEI and SERIALNO!!
Have you tried sunshine to s-off your phone?
