Basically all you really need to do is flash s-on in clockworkmod and then the PB31img from part 2

Is there some way to just flash stock recovery and turn s-on without using adb in any way...adb kinda scares me
Sent from my HTC Incredible using XDA App
Read part 2. No ADB required.
Indeed. No ADB required. I've never even used it for anything. All you need is an SD card.

The memory card must be formatted in Fat32 otherwise it wont read it. Also it must be named "PB31IMG.zip" some computer show the .zip and some don't, so make sure not to name it PB31IMG.zip.zip unknowingly.
Thank you i thought it was formatted correctly but I used the phone to format it because I didn't have access to a computer last night but this morning I got on and reformated it and then it worked thanx

You aren't supposed to rename it. Re-download it. Connect your phone into fastboot, connect to pc, run RUU exe.

IF you are trying the PC36IMG, you need to make sure to just rename the zip file to "PC36IMG". Do not add the ".zip" when you rename it, if you do your phone is not going to see the file because it is going to see it as PC36IMG.zip.zip. The format of the file is already a zip so adding the ".zip" is what is causing your problems. Hope this helps, its a common mistake I can remember when I first got into rooting and stuff I encountered the same thing.

What file exactly
sent from my HTC evolution running a freshly baked gingerbread with the 4gs in it
Uh.....what exactly are you trying to do? PC36IMG.zip is the name given to files that we flash via HBoot. The contents of that zip file can be a vast number of things that change various objects of the phone. Post your question, what you're trying to do, etc. so that we can give you the proper links/files.
Otherwise you may be looking for a PC36IMG.zip that installs a new recovery and instead get one that completely unroots your phone and gives you S-on. So we need more details into what you are looking for.
I need the one that unroots the phone please

Still need to be more specific.
You need an RUU to match your bootloader version, so that is needed.

Check what bootloader you have on your phone.
1. Turn phone COMPLETELY off
2. Press and hold volume down button while pressing the power button
3. A white screen will pop. This is your HBoot.
4. At the top it will tell you what version of Hboot you have. (i.e. 2.15.0001, 2.16.0001, etc.)
5. Take that number and post it in this thread so we can give you a file that will successfully flash to your phone.
2.15.00.07.28. Thanks

Follow the guide for downgrading first.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
Check your software version in hboot first. There are a lot of problems with newer models of the Inc2 and rooting.
How do I even get into hboot? The normal ways didn't seem to work for me.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Turn off the phone and hold volume down and power at the same time. If that does not work pull the battery out for a few seconds and put it back in and try again. When I first got mine I had to pull the battery at first before I could get into it.
im trying to do this to, so not hijacking the thread..
im at hboot .98 and have tried to download the kit in the downgrade thread, but it resets the connection at the end and never finishes.
ive read about htcdev tool to unlock bootloader, but there is no straight up guide besides the attn1 thread which is useless with that vwhk kit.

If it's software 6, it would be better if you used HTC dev unlock because downgrading software 6 is pretty difficult unless you're familiar with ADB shell.
If it's software 5, then using the downgrade tutorial would suffice and then revolutionary process, etc.
Sent from my vivow using XDA
It's possible to root and s-off with software 6, but it's complicated and can cause bugs and instability. There's really nothing you'd want to do that you can't with just using htcdev unlock, the downside is it voids your warranty.

Thata why I stated that you shouldn't try to S-Off and downgrade software 6 unless you are knowledgeable with ADB shell. This is because the entire process requires ADB shell usage.

Sure you can do it without a computer as long as you use 4ext for your recovery. Since you have s- off you just need a recovery to flash and Su for root. Use the app to get the free version of the recovery. The app will flash the .IMG file. Then once you have your recovery
Just download su and flash in recovery. Here is a drop box link to the su zip file to flash.
http://db.tt/GzpXFmUz
Here is the recovery updater app
http://db.tt/2sN1gD5h
Or rom manager app will also install recovery i believe and you can also use that to flash su for root.

ok... so my aunt brought me her phone that she said she bricked... first thing first, its just a soft brick. i can turn the device on normally ( in which it just stays at the htc bootsplash.. i can also boot the phone into bootloader.. i cant go into recovery. when i select restart bootloader in fastboot it freezes the phone up... i have came to a conclusion that she wiped her recovery out completely. heres the problem where i need help..
1. the phone is ****locked**** , and when i try to use the htc dev. to unlock bootloader it will not let me select "yes" to unlock bootloader.
2. s-on
3. usb debugging is disabled im assuming...
4. hboot = 0.98.0000
5. radio: 1.09.01.1111
is there any hope for this phone???
Have you tried fast boot flash a recovery or using an ruu
when i try to flash recovery via flash boot it gives me an error.. htc cant sign the file properly..!!!??? all the ruu methods ive seen require usb debugging to be enabled ive tried them anyways with no luck...
Use the downgrade method in the development section.
Sent from my KangBang'd out vivow

With a locked bootloader? I don't see how it could work, but you might as well try the downgrade tool, it can't hurt.

If the one at the previous link will not flash take a look at this one. I believe you need the gingerbread 2.3.4 one based on the radio version you posted. These are also signed so they should be able flash with s-on.

Google search "vivow signed ruu" there are hundreds of posts there with downloads. A signed ruu is an ruu just as it comes from htc. Because it is signed you can flash it through bootloader with s-on.
You will need a newer or equivalent version to the one on the phone or it won't flash.
You will just need to find one with a good download now.
Sent from my ICS Dinc2
Hmmm
Like has been said the RUU posted by CondemnedSoul should work. Just make sure its named PG32IMG. Dont add .zip or anything as you may not be able to see extensions if you dont have then enabled. Once its named PG32IMG and you put it on your SD card by itself not in a folder.
Once you do this pull the battery for a second and put it back. Now Volume down and power to boot bootloader. Give it a sec and see if it will load the image. If it does load it will give you the option to install by pressing volume up. It should start to install and should fix the problem. I have used the file before on my older Inc 2 so I know it works. Hope you get it sorted out.
So I get the ruu to read finally and it freezes on this screen...
