the Customer Service of htc confirmed some of IS sold in Taiwan is original S-off.
i've mentioned that in the rooting thread, no help for rooting process.

hmm~ I'm Taiwanese~ my IS is s-on not s-off....

How exactly do u check if it is s-on or s-off ? My phone had no sim lock ... I can use any network ... Does this mean it will be s-off too ? Can sum1 tell me how i can check ...

Boot into the bootloader.. at the top of the screen you see either S-ON or S-OFF.
You get in there by shutting down your phone completely (disable the option in settings/power that allows this new instant boot), or take out your battery.
Then, but only when it's completely off (takes some time for the display to completely turn black), press and hold vol down and press power button (while still pressing vol down)
BTW: this doesn't work for me when I have the usb cable connected..

Nooooo ... Im s-on too :'(
Too bad ... Bootloaders have changed a lot since the winmo days ... I like it

You would prefer a (in my opinion) inferior phone in terms of build quality, storage space (320mb to 1.1gb for the incs) and ram (512 to 768 for the incs) just because sony promised they would crack the bootloader for you? Just have a little patience and wait for this great team to get s-off for this great phone! ;D

I bought my IS in Taiwan (Taiwan mobile) and it is S-On

OK, come on, do not expect that CS can understand what are you talking about

Stock bootloader is s-on, and checks for signatures on boot and recovery images.

Please, don't. Devs are not around here at the moment doesn't mean they are uninterested. They are people like us, they have their lives too and not to mention they have to maintain development for other devices as well. Why don't you try to contact devs for XL like capy directly?
Sent from Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10i using xda
not much can be done by devs without device and also need know how. id say contact the Alpha-Rev devs as they seem to be the main contributors where s-off is concerned. they have a website in sensation s-off thread. they would be your best bet. this is a good thing but ahead of what is currently possible in here. also right now s-off is not off that much importance as we can do quite alot with s-on and unlocked bootloader. s-off will be needed for super cid, radios, bootsplash and anime etc. be patient
thx for your answer, with s-off, we can push up cooking cool Roms quite alot....
Ill write them...thx
Got my answer!
This post can be deleted.
right, the missing OFF is funny
... anway, compare what u see to the other "N" and "F" chars on the screen -> it should be S-OFF

Always remember to make a current Nandroid backup before you do it, then you can try almost anything!
Yea I don't think it matters about s-off. Only matters when trying to flash kernels or splash screens

After ICS update cant connect to mobile network

Hello
im planing to buy Incredible S that is currently broken.
The guy said to me that after ICS update he scan for available networks, and phone sees networks but phone don't wont to connect to network.
Phone is SIM unlocked and he tried with two different operators.
I can get it really cheap but im afraid is there possibility that motherboard is broken.
Im good with flashing and i hope that it is only problem with radio or corrupted update.
Did someone had similar problem after ICS update?
Please gimme some advice
Here is screenshot of software version

That is not the stock ICS update. If that's an Incredible S, its running a custom ROM based on a VilleC2/One S ruu or dump (from the build number). That might be the issue, tell him to flash a stock based ROM like Android Revolution HD or Blackout ICS and see if it works
Also, could you get a screenshot of the info under "more" please? That could help
Thanks for replay, i will try to get screenshot of Software information/More
OK, here is the photo of Software Information/ More

He told me that he did OTA update but i don't believe to him.
Also phone was Rooted and S-OFF
Is this situation fixable? I think that radio is problem, i did have HTC Wildfire so i know how to flash, use RUU and other stuff.
Or maybe this happen because he was rooted and S-OFF and accepted update
If this is a fixable situation then i could buy the phone
I dont think ota work if you are s-off so i think he has a custom rom

Definitely a custom Chinese dodgy Rom and kernel
You'd have to flash a known working ROM like I mentioned above to see if it's just a kernel or Rom issue
Keep in mind that you can't run an RUU with s off

And one more picture with bootloader version
https://www.dropbox.com/s/g7qp83mlg6pwygc/IMG_20130225_225137.jpg
got new info from seller, he admit that he is using custom ROM.
he told me that after ICS update he tried to flash ROMs and then it all started with connection problems.
He is S-OFF, rooted, got black rose boot loader.
i will buy this phone and try to make S-ON so i can run RUU and hope for the best.
i must read a little bit but is it possible to get completely to STOCK after black rose and S-OFF?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
From what I hv understood I think you can flash the latest radio and choose a good jb ROM and it should work. The devs are really good here and thr are some really good ROMs to choose from. Good luck...
i hope too it will all go well, maybe is better to try with radio first, all the time im suspicious that radio is the problem.
only thing that is weird is that WiFi is working excellent and cant connect to cell service.

Yeah I found that out through trial and error lol. To install the ROM though, do you need S-OFF or can it stay S-ON? If it needs S-OFF, can you point me to a forum about getting S-OFF?

Oh, and can someone please post a different download link of the ROM? The Chinese server is unbearably slow, so can someone put it up on an American server?
Got it downloaded and installed, its amazing. Only problem is that I got a bootloop when I first loaded it, but that was fixed by clearing the cache, dalvik cache, and something else. Thanks!
For those of you that are going to use this ROM, if you install with S-ON, and then later decide that you want to S-OFF (like me), then you will need to reflash the ROM after you achieve S-OFF, otherwise the ROM freezes at the "Sense 5" startup screen and then begins a bootloop up to that point.

I apologize if the answer's obvious, but how exactly do you achieve S-Off?
I used the rumrunner s-off tool, but I got stuck in the bootloop,so I had to stop it, but I still got s-off.

I'm in the same boat as you were in; mine's stuck in a bootloop; I don't know if I got s-off though. How did you manage to get yours to stop bootlooping?

[Q] battery condition

Hello all
I am using the latest insert coin rom(tried all others too) with the latest elemental x kernel(tried different kernels too) the battery life is always bad. The screenshot shows the regular scenario. If I use screen a lot I get 8-10% per hour. I am using the cpu at 1.5ghz downclocked. Everything is hibernated and appops is preventing anything to keep the phone awake. The last option for me is to format the SD, I can't think of anything else. Or my battery is bad.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.

the RUU must match your phone
fastboot getvar all will give you the information you need to find the correct RUU

You have to use RUU not OTA
