I guess you mean other than the ones you already have? No, it is just overwriting files that already exist.

Im still getting the $ prompt after flashing the proper SU package
What rom are you running and how are you attempting to gain root access in adb?
Code:
adb shell
suOkay managed to get the # prompt. Silly mistake. Lets leave it at that hehe. Anyway do i then proceed to do this?
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
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
Has anyone tried using superSU from the market? How does it compare with super user by chainsDD.

This is a thread about my script, not a thread about how to brick your phone.
Okay so what do i do? I am a noob in Android. All i want to do is S-OFF and flash a new radio and maybe CM7. The signal dropping is terrible.
Is the script still not working? What rom do you currently have installed?
If you really need to do this manually, do not lower the main version to 1.00.000.0 as flashing a froyo ruu/radio will brick your phone. You will also need to create a goldcard. Do not use a 16gb sdcard as these don't seem work most of the time.
I have the stock Gingerbread 2.3.5 ROM.
Software No: 3.09.720.1
No im still getting the same error:

Cleaning temp filesAlso im using a 4 GB class 4 SDHC card. I also tried with my phone's 8 GB one.
I did that. Got a message saying that a temporary tacoroot exploit would be installed and it did so. But again,when it came to the step of downgrading the version, the same input error appeared.

I'm almost out of ideas. Your bootloader is unlocked still correct? You could try manually downgrading or reverting to stock.
Yeah I know it's pretty frustrating. I'm not able to use 3G. If I set my connection settings to Cdma+ gsm auto the signal drops suddenly to nothing. So I'm forced to use it under the gsm only option, hence only edge connectivity. And yeah the bootloader is unlocked.
Your phone. Stock recovery, remove root, factory reset, relock bootloader.
[Offtopic] Do i have to be S-OFF to flash say a Camera fix for CM7.2 RC1 or a new Tiamat Kernel?
I recall tpbklake posting a work around for that.
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.imgThis is unconfirmed in the incredible s forum as far as I know, but definitely worth a shot.

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!

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.

Hope it helps!
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.
