Please don't do it. Spend a few days reading about it. You are certainly NOT ready

Specially when there are so MANY guides how to do that.
I'm afraid for your device

Please be clear I dont get what u mean

Give me some links if u can

Ive provided you with the link to the video guide. You can follow that and post doubts if you have any.
But TBH, there are a BAZZILLION guides on XDA, soooo many YouTube videos, and guides on practically any tech website. I think you should read the guides and watch the videos properly before attempting.....

Exactly what they are saying.. YOU DONT UNDERSTAND....
Q&As are littered with people who obviously have not read any of the guides that have been written.. @nkk71 @crushalot to name but two have spent hours writing guides for noobs and people like me.. We are all still learning..
And before you go down the rooting, S-Off, custom rom, kernal etc.. Ask yourself.... Is it for me.. More people have trouble getting back to stock than they do rooting their phone... So READ....READ...READ

This question should have been posted in the General section. Anyway, you apparently haven't even begun to read the sticky posts in this forum because you would have found the answers.
Unlocking your hboot is the first step. Now you can use either the Downgrade tool in the General section or the HTC IncS tool 3.3.0.1 in this section.
Yep, as tpbklake said read the stickies on the general forum, they will give you your answer, the gave me an answer when I didn't know anyway
And what happened to the 10 post rule??

I'm going through the newb guide and Im stuck at step 4 because the "here" link is unavailable.

4. Go to here and download the recovery image for the Incredible S. Put it in the "android" folder along with the other files needed for HTC's unlock process, above. This file is the ClockWorkMod recovery image for the IncS.

I guess the fact that he has been a member for so long must have allowed him to post in DEV.
I just wanted to post in here telling this guy how he was f***ed but it seems as though everyone else has taken him down a notch already. Glad to see people are posting about him and not to him. : )

What a bad reply !!
If u are bothering to reply to insult the guy or make fun of him, then u are all selfish idiots.
Why not bother and tell him the easiest way he can do his root ?
Why can't we be a little friendly ?
Is to dam* hard ?

Is today "Defend a moron who posted this thread in the wrong forum months ago" day? Get over it and yourself.
It's even more weird if you check his post history... He hasn't posted in months. Assuming he bought an incredible S that updated to 4.0.4 and it was the first thread he found and was sad that there was no direct answer without having to read.

whats even more weird is I was doing a search for incredible s parts, my girlfriend (not that you two hobbits would know what that is) ruined the micro-usb jack on her already rooted incredible and this thread was dug up by google. look like i struck a nerve amongst the lifeless acne ridden of xda....dont be so sensitive little missies, grow a thicker skin or go home. It seems to me the morons in this thread are the ones who ASSume to know what they do not.

[Q] Check if bootloader is unlocked?

Hi.
So I know there can be very stupid sayings so immediately say:
I got my friend's Android , didn't tell me anything about it, but I know that it was ROOTED and stock ROM.
Now i am GingerDX 2.3.7, there werent any funny stuff, installed it good ( abt 4 months ago)
So I want to ask about the kernel and bootloader.
That's what I want to install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672635
(Do not judge. I love Android, but I want iOS style. Simply do not buy an iPhone because I am not a millionaire. Do not flame.)
Or if you just dont want to click, it says:
"ROM requirements:
First latest baseband
Second Unlocked bootloader
3rd CWM Recovery
4th Best naa kernel / kernel Alf! "
Latest baseband - idk, mine ends with 015, as far as I heard its the latest (?)
Bootloader don't even know, really want o find out
CWM recovery is there
Kernel seems i have stock - (02/06/29 SEMCUser SEMCHost @ # 1)
So I want to ask you, how to know whether the bootloader unlocked / unlocked
What is my kernel?
Thanks for the answers, I hope there will be any. ( I HAVE USED SEARCH, DONT SAY THAT I TRIED IT.)
( Sry for bad english)

ive been on here for 1hour + and all people post about if how to install bootloader and stuff quit spamming and just help me out
This is everything you need
Scroll down and you'll find "How to check if your phone has an unlocked bootloader" simple tutorial.
If your phone's manufacture date is 11W29 or past 11W29, do not attempt to unlock bootloader as your phone might end in a hardbrick. How to know that? simply put out battery and you will see something like 11wXX in your phone
@IAmNice
I saw that u in many threads complaining like above one. If u can't just help a noob, please don't interfere with the threads that u can't stand/ or don't like. U are just spamming. Please be nice to Noobs man

I understand what you're saying. But in defense of IAmNice, topics like this have been answered a lot of times already and can be solved by doing a simple search. Letting threads like this go on may encourage new members to not search and just make a new thread for these kinds of questions.
@op: please search. There are threads around to help you. Use s1tool.

hey use this link to download stock software. Only difference being you have a GSM model and its a backup of GSM+LTE model. you can use it om your phone with custom recovery without any hassel just do not relock bootloader or else phone wont boot up until you unlock bootloader again
and when you find 2.24.707.3 share it with me and we both can restore back to stock
It should work but if not then you can try that other one you've linked to (which is the same version I linked to)

Ok, first watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
I mean it seriously watch it then come back. Done? OK let's move on.
As you might have guessed, you have posted in the wrong section. Questions and help goes in the General forum for your device, this is development where people post their work. Also there are 2 or 3 threads in this section which explain how to root your device. So I recommend searching before posting. I will not post your solution, because you have to find it yourself, it's not hard at all (otherwise you and other new guys will never learn it and always keep asking the same questions over and over again)
