[TOOL][SCRIPT][05 Sep 2012]S-off for HBOOT 1.16 and above[v3.4.1]
- Thread starter Nonverbose
- Start date
Ok, so if you have an unlocked hboot and have installed CWM and installed CM7 then you have a rooted system, so you should answer Y.
The screen shots show the errors you are getting is the result of trying to run tacoroot to get temporary root. As I understand it, tacoroot attempts to reboot into standard recovery, but since you have CWM that may be the source of these errors.
Try running it again and answer Y to a rooted system.
Ok so everything at this point looks good except that you answered N to unlocked bootloader. Is that correct? I thought you said you have it unlocked to install CM7.
You are now ready to flash a RUU since our misc_version has been successfully downgraded. Which RUU are you going to run?
Also this is then end of the script. Everything else you need to do manually, the script is not going to run the RUU for you.

As tpbklake said it should be all clear to run the ruu and then revolutionary s-off, after you have relocked the bootloader.
There's a couple of ways you can go about achieving the relocked bootloader, either run the script again, answering y to the last prompt (have you unlocked via htcdev) or you can do it directly via fastboot.
Code:
fastboot oem lockruu
Yes I am aware the script wont run the ruu and I did try and run it again after this and I truer to relock the bootloader but keep getting security errors and I'm planing on using the ruu mentioned in the first post of this thread unless there is a better one and if I have theone in charge mode when I run the ruu it say update from 2.3.5.408? To the exact same one and if I have it the bootlader menu I get fom version 2.00.000 to 2.3.5.408?

Is the bootloader locked?
Are you getting an error number and description?
Where are you from?

everytime i try to lock my bootloader my phone says in pink relocked security warning and i carnt do anything
i havnt tryed coz it wants to change my rom from 2.00.000 to 2.3.4801 and im not sure itf thats right just dont wanna brick my phone
It's been a while since I used it, but I believe you run it with the phone booted normally. Don't forget to re-enable USB debugging.
hey thanks so much man finally gained s-off now for some rom fun should all HTC IncS roms work now
Yes if your s-off you can run any rom.

103Detailed 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)

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.

Cheers3@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.
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.
Worked flawlessly.. no interruptions... no issues!
Thanks mate...
It is encouraging to see there's users in the xda community that can still follow a reasonably simple set of instructions. Thanks for the feedback3
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.
