The post pretty much explains what you should do. If you are S-ON, you have to be S-OFF to downgrade you version. If S-OFF, you can downgrade by using a lower RUU. The post explains it pretty well.

No changing the ROM will not SIM unlock it. Did you mean a Verizon Droid Incredible 2?
No ... Incredible S locked for Virgin Mobile

You either need to contact the carrier for the unlock code or use one of the pay services and purchase an unlock code.
Which HBOOT version does the phone have? If it is version 1.09 you might check the Development section. There was an older thread that claimed to S-Off and SuperCID earlier versions but doesn't work on the newer versions.

With HBOOT 1.13 you can go straight to the http://Revolutionary.io and gain true S-OFF on your phone. Read the documentation carefully and you shouldn't have any trouble at all.
Hi
Firstly welcome to xda
You're in a good position, as your hboot version is able to be s offed without downgrading
You can go straight to revolutionary.io and s off from there.
Here is the link to the video tutorial I used back in the day
http://theunlockr.com/2011/08/02/ho...android-phone-using-the-revolutionary-method/
Make sure you're using the correct files for our device because in the video they use a HTC sensation (same procedure)
S off is better than htcdev because it allows you more permissions to flash things like radios and kernels easily
Good luck, if you have questions them Google is your friend, if Google doesn't know then ask here

When have you received the incs OTA update from Bell? Me and all the people I know, who have got Bell INCS phones, have yet to receive this update from Bell.

The OP didn't received the OTA. He was asking how to root his current ROM.
If you really want the ICS ROM for your Bell IncS, HTC has released the ICS RUU on the HTCDEV.com/devcenter/downloads site. There you will find a NAM/Canadian version that you can use to upgrade.
Thanks tplblake, but I already knew this. It's just that, I have reread the op post, and see that I had misread his post. I was reading "has" while the op had written "hasnt". I gueas that the missing quote in "hasnt", got me confused.

Woah, I came here to find out what was going on with ICS and it looks like this was posted a month ago! :good:
I take it this wouldn't have bell's bloatware also?
It's the Canadian rom without the Bell bloatware. If you need part or all the Bell bloatware, it is available on the playstore.
I updated my Bell IncS to the RUU listed on the HTCdev website and it is great. Superuser also works perfectly to give you root access.

Wow I am looking into getting a ONE M7, and I am so confused.
So many models.
Basically I am only going to be using it abroad, so I need an unlocked version.
Also, I like to install a clean ROM so I would prefer a variant which allows me to do this.
I found a good deal on a Verizon One M7, but not sure if it suits these needs.
plz help!
Thank you!

Absolutely not. Verizon HTC one are locked to Verizon. Even the bootloader can't be unlocked via htcdev.com.
look for a M7_UL unlocked

Thanks for that! The unlocked versions are expensive. Any other carrier's ONE I can maybe buy and turn into an unlocked version?

If you buy a carrier version you'll have to sim-unlock it using a paid code and if that doesn't work you'll have to s-off the phone to use the sieempi method to sim-unlock.
stay away from Sprint and Verizon variant, you want a gsm variant (M7_UL)

I am looking at ATT versions now (still decent prices). So... hardware wise it's the same as the Google Play Edition? Will I be able to buy an UNLOCKED ATT M7 (which I am looking at the moment) and turn it into a PLAY EDITION M7 (via different ROM)?
* if there's one thing I can't stand is carrier's bloat and so on...

Yes but you will probably need S-OFF
Thank you! S-OFF is something I buy? Or something I do? Or something that I need to ask the seller about?
Thx so much

The way you'll achieve S-OFF depends on what bootloader version you'll have so its basically impossible to tell at this point. On some early bootloader versions, you can s-off for free using exploits posted in this forum (revone, moonshine, rumrunner). Latest hboot version (1.57) will require Sunshine exploit which cost 25$ (but well invested imo)
So when you'll get your phone, try to sim-unlock it first using a code (you must be 100% stock rom to use a sim-unlock code)
Then, If you want S-OFF, do it before updating. Each time you do update the phone to a newer version, you decrease your chances of getting S-OFF.
You'll only need s-off if the sim-unlock code method doesnt work and if you want to do a full conversion of your phone to a GPE version for example.
Thanks so much!!!!!!

Just want to clarify something here:

S-OFF will not sim-unlock your phone but you'll be able to sim-unlock using another method (sieempi) which require s-off unlike the sim-unlock code.

I was also wondering about this too
I was able to unlock this for T-Mobile on Android 5.0.2 (lollipop) , HTC sense 6.0 and Hboot 1.61. I think the key was downgrading the radio.

If you hit a brick wall unlocking the phone for yourself, the easiest solution is to buy an unlock code from a third party and call it a day. I always use https://www.unlockbase.com/unlock-phone/htc/ when I decide to buy an unlock.

Had kind of the same problem, upgraded to lollipop, being outside of US, could activate my device on GSM.
So after unlockign the device, with S-ON, I flashed the ViperOne 9.0.0.
Now the phone just flies. Works on any GSM network.

Is there anyway to downgrade Lollipop?
I am also in the same boat with OP, I have a Sprint HTC One M8 Harmon/Kardon with Marshmallow 6.20.654.3. I live overseas and i need to get this phone sim-unlocked. Can this be done with the current software version or do I need to downgrade the ROM to be able to sim-unlock my phone for use with an international GSM-Network?
