[Guide] How to revert to Stock Rom with S-On if USB port is broken (For Warranty)...

[ehsan76]

Last week i came across a couple of guys who had their phone's USB port broken and cant revert back to their stock Rom with S-On as they couldn't flash an RUU using their PC.
These steps helped them revert back to their stock Rom with S-On which is required for warranty claim. I thought it would be useful for others as well if I compile a simple guide here.

Remember I didn't invent this method rather its a result of research in the past when I was rooting my DHD and Incredible S and found these instructions on different forums. I have just compiled it in an easy guide.

I have tested this method myself and if this guide is correctly followed step by step its very safe but still I am not responsible if your GF/BF dump you, your phone becomes a paper weight or heavens fall as a result of following this guide.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Follow these steps:

1. Download your device specific RUU from this sticky thread or Google for it.

2. Run the RUU and when its de-compressed and asks you to press next, just stop there (Don't close this window).

3. Go to the "temp" folder on your PC. If you are on Windows 7 its located in "C:\Users\{Your_User_Name}\AppData\Local\Temp" and on Windows XP its in "C:\Documents and Settings\{Your_User_Name}\Applications Data\Local Settings\Temp"

4. Use the windows search function in "Temp" folder or dig deep into sub folders to find "rom.zip" file. It'll be around ~250MB in size.

5. Copy this file and paste it somewhere else on your PC e.g. desktop.

6. Rename this "rom.zip" file to "PG32IMG.zip"

7. Now take your SD card from Phone and connect it to your PC using a card reader or some other phone.

8. Paste that renamed "PG32IMG.zip" at the root of your SD Card.

9. Now power off your phone. Pull out the battery.

10. Insert the SD Card back in the phone. Insert the battery.

11. Now hold your volume down key and press power button. Keep the volume down key pressed. It will start your phone in boot-loader menu.

12. Select FASTBOOT if its not already selected and press power button.

13. It will search your SD Card for files and will find "PG32IMG.zip" file and will ask if you want to update.

14. Press the volume up button as instructed to continue and then sit back and relax.

Once finished it will ask you to reboot. Once rebooted, you'll be back on stock ROM with S-On.

Delete the "PG32IMG.zip" from SD Card now.

To verify S-On reboot into bootloader again (Step 11) and on the very first line it will say S-On or S-Off.

Need any further help??

Then try extracting the ROM.zip file from this RUU:

i tried and it was success but my phone is still s-off and also shows revolutionary and the hboot version 6.13.1002

OK, that is a start. The Revolutionary HBOOT prevents a RUU/ROM.zip from overwriting it.

I answered your post in the General section about the procedure steps to remove the Revolutionary HBOOT. Hopefully that will get you going as long as your USB port cooperates.

Guide updating soon!!!

This guide was actually targeted for those users who have their USB Ports broken and have nothing else to do.
Anyways due to so many PMs asking me how to get S-Off when their HBOOT is not being overwritten by this method so no S-On for them... I am updating this guide very soon to help all those.

Please keep in mind I will just post the guide but can't test it myself as I don't own an Incredible S anymore.

I been extremely busy lately with my newborn so couldn't update it or reply you guys. Just wait for a day or so and you'll have this guide updated with instructions for those who can't get S-On with the current instructions.
I'll try to make it valid for those who have their USB ports broken as well

Thanks.

Hey,

and on the Stock - Rom and my phone is ready for warranty!

Tank's allot!!!!!!!!
