I require some information from you. Start the ruu with no phone connected. When it loads the first screen do not press any button, instead go to your start menu and type %temp% in the search/run box there. A window should pop up (temp directory). Do a search for rom.zip and copy that file someplace you can locate it easily. Check the md5sum of this file and post result here.

Just got my S-OFF finally. I signed up here to say thanks, and to point out that there's some errors in the latest script that I had to fix before I got it to work.

Under :ROOTED
Code: 
files\adb shell "su -c'/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 2.00.000.0'"

should be changed to
Code: 
files\adb shell "su -c '/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 2.00.000.0'"

Notice the space after '-c'. Without the space I got stuck at downgrading main version. Likewise under :GOLDCARDR
Code: 
files\adb shell "su -c'dd if=/data/local/tmp/goldcard.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1'"

should be changed to
Code: 
files\adb shell "su -c 'dd if=/data/local/tmp/goldcard.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1'"

The script caters for both rooted and non-rooted devices. You have a custom Rom therefore you're rooted. The goldcard is created by the script if you choose so. It is referenced in the introduction of my first post.

Thanks for the info. Did you have more than one phone connected when you tried the script? If so, just have one connected. There's also a new version, you might want to try that.

    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!

    Video Guide kindly provided by locn:

    Use on stock ICS device

    Part 1. This video goes through the process of down grading HBOOT to 1.13.0000 so that we can then use revolutionary method to gain S-OFF.
    http://youtu.be/PbwE6pXOdco

    Part 2. This video covers how to get S-OFF on the HTC IncS using revolutionary method.
    http://youtu.be/alSEpJMJrjo


    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.

    Changelog:
    v3.4.1 Corrected syntax causing errors for rooted users
    v3.4 Added option for users on stock ICS hboot (2.02)
    v3.3 Fixed main version downgrade and goldcard creation issues for some users & other minor fixes
    v3.2 Repackaged and re-encoded in windows environment for compatibility issues
    v3.1 Fixed issue with gold card creation on non-rooted phones
    v3.0 Changed temp root method to TacoRoot changed misc_version to misc_version_universal & other minor fixes
    v2.1 Changed downgrade version to help prevent user error & other minor fixes
    v2.0 Added goldcard script and relock bootloader for users unlocked via htcdev
    v1.1 Added option in batch file for rooted and non-rooted users
    v1.0 original upload

    Credits:
    tpbklake: For his unsecured kernel
    jcase: Author of TacoRoot
    hyuh: For misc_version_universal
    viperbjk from RevSkills: For the goldcard algorithm.

    Great Script! Made some Videos for it!

    Hi Nonverbose

    Thanks for making it so easy for us! Finally got around to doing this and it worked flawlessly for me!

    I made videos of the process which i followed here and thought it might be able to help someone out.

    Part 1. This video goes through the process of down grading HBOOT to 1.13.0000 so that we can then use revolutionary method to gain S-OFF.
    http://youtu.be/PbwE6pXOdco

    Just to confirm, the gold card is required.

    So happy to finally have s-off. Very annoying not being able to use OTA updates.

    @pressytcn very pretty and extremely large photo of your phone in stock recovery waiting for you to press volume up + volume down + power button, just like it says in the screenshot of the script you provided. Learn to read.

    sorry my mistake
    i learned it now and tried flashing as you said
    the result is
    E: Signature verification failed
    installation aborted

    Click to collapse

    If you were doing what I said, there would be no signature check to fail. I asked you to flash a custom rom and rerun the script, providing a screenshot of the result. Fail.

    If your phone is operational, don't bother trying to follow this guide. Its out of your depth unfortunately. If your phone cannot boot a rom, I will help you get it working again.

    Hey, why don't you try giving an answer instead of being smartass ? I CAN'T FIND any info about my specifications.Info on this forum is really messy.I found info about hboot 2.02, i found hboot 2.00 s-on locked but not mine.I don't want make my phone bricked.If you want to help, help or just suht up, ok.I don't really care you are writing a script.I think xda have to cleaned from behaving like you.Like adolescent...

    I have been supporting this method for almost 1 year but still I need to read this crap. The title says this method is for hboot 1.16 and above. You're on v2.00 obviously that is above 1.16, not only that, you are coming here asking if flashing a recovery image will give you s-off? If you don't want your phone bricked, how about you research what the hell you're doing. If that's too difficult then you should not be modifying your phone. Simple as that.
