Root Root Incredible S with HBOOT 2.02

[Pez]

I've got an Incredible S and I was just about to try rooting it. I tried following some instructions off the web which used this site Revolutionary

I fell at the first hurdle when it asked me to select my HBOOT version and mine (2. 02. 0002) wasn't on the list.

I recently installed the ota orange ICS update, not sure if this has any bearing on anything. My phone has S-ON, although I've no idea what that means...

I've searched around a bit and can't find anything, so if someone could point me towards a rooting guide for my phone and hboot version I'd be grateful!

Hey Pez,

There is a mighty simple fix for this...
I also had the latest HBOOT as I upgraded as well... But basically all you need to do is follow this guide... Start from the First Step all the way to the last step..

(The steps can be hard to follow, so if any worries, just ask again)

Root and install rom on hboot 2.02.002 s-on - xda-developers

If that was too complicated.. Try this one: (I have not tested out with your version of hboot, but it should be compatible)

Once you have finished, remember to download BlackRose 2.02.002 as it will upgrade hboot back to 2.02.. This will give more support for flashing custom roms such as Virtuous Quattro.

Hope I helped

Also, if you want to get the ics rom back, visit this link:

(REMEMBER TO BACK EVERYTHING UP AS IT WILL COMPLETELY WIPE YOUR PHONE DATA)

Good Day

Hi, I was having issues in installing the rom on hboot 2.02.002. Your guide helped me well to get the software successfully installed. Even though it was very difficult to follow the procedure the right direction helped me to fix this issue.
