Hi,
I know that my question is so noob, but I still wanna ask.
I have an Incredible 2, running 2.3.4 (Stock room with many Verizon apps ), have HBOOT 0.98, but when I check in my bootloader, I saw it already have S-OFF.
So, I want to ask Is there anyway to root or install Clockwork mode recovery, without downgrade it to 0.97

The only way is to root with revolutionary and then flash a 2.2 rom.
You have to be s-off to even attempt a downgrade, First things first. Second, you will probably brick your phone. Do as previous post suggests if u need to that bad.

Sounds like you need to root you phone first. I would use revolutionary to do so. Its easy and quick did it last week when i got my sprint replacement phone.

Wait what ??? My phone is rooted I'm using the express ROM ...
I been rooted for like 2 years now I just didn't notice that I neeeded S-off to flash hboots or radios. Which is weird because I used to flash radios and flash a new hboot with S-on . But now i can't update the bootanimation the PC36IMG.zip file or update the hboot.

This is no problem. I assume you changed your HBOOT to use the Anthrax kernel? Well, you should've downgraded your radio first, and then this would've been a LOT easier. But, since you're stuck at S-ON, now, you'll need to follow these instructions to fix it.

Hey captain I'm guessing you want me to do this? ?
It'll be okay . Boot into recovery and nandroid. You'll need it once you're done.
Just download this: PC36IMG_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Ra dio_2 .15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip
Rename to PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD Card. Boot into Bootloader, and let it update your device.
Then, once it boots up, got into settings and enable USB Debugging, and go to unrevoked.com and select unrevoked3 to root & NAND unlock your device.
Then, you can switch your recovery to Amon RA, full wipe, and restore your nandroid.

If I do this can I still be able to flash the express rom and the anthrax kernel. Or I have to flash another hboot and then do this process again?..

You won't have to do anything with your HBOOT anymore after this. This will get you back to S-OFF, and at the end, you'll just restore whatever you're running now (unless you just want to flash something else).
You can flash the Express ROM, the Anthrax kernel, the updated radios, and you'll still be S-OFF.
Trust me, just follow the instructions. it's easy. You have to download and install the Froyo ROM so you can re-root with unrevoked. After that, you're just installing a custom recovery and restoring your nandroid.
Okay I got it but you lost me in the last part. Okay so I need to install a froyo rom right now then update the PC36IMG.zip and then let it boot. Go to settings and use the USB debugging and go to the website install the exe. Root the phone and nandroid it? .....

Not sure what you need help with??? Does it have a custom recovery such as clockworkmod or amonra? If so you can flash any Rom to it in recovery or load up an ruu in bootloader if you want it stock. Your choice

Hello Genius developers at XDA!
I have a bit of an issue
I got my hands on a Droid Incredible running stock 2.3.4 and decided to root it. I unlocked my bootloader using HTCDev, downgraded to 2.2, rooted, flashed CWM, flashed the unrevoked forever s-off patch, flashed superuser, then began testing custom roms. I installed CyanogenMod 7.2 to the device for a while but decided to return to stock. I then flashed the unrevoked forever s-on patch and it went fine. I then tried to flash 2.2 to the device via RUU and it came up saying "ERROR 155." I figured I would try the HBOOT method but nothing appears to happen when I try this. The blue bar appears, it loads, then nothing. I tried to flash 2.3.4 to the device via RUU and got the same "ERROR 155." I don't know what else to try and I cannot find anything else. My bootloader is unlocked, according to HBOOT I have version 1.02.0000, also my radio is 2.15.00.07.28. I tried flashing HTCDev's HBOOT just to see what happens and I got the same error as mentioned above. Basically I can flash any rom I want to besides stock. I would like to return to stock rom, remove root, be on 2.3.4, and get rid of CWM. However, if i can, I'd like to retain my unlocked bootloader.
Please let someone know how to fix this or maybe we can come up with an idea.
Thanks

Did you make a nandroid backup of the stock rom to flash back to?
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
Put it back to S-OFF and try again... It could be because of the new HBOOT
I did make a nandroid of stock but I believe its rooted.

Ill try that
Alright I flashed soff again and the hboot installed. I then used ruu to install froyo to update to gb. Froyo installed but I still have soff and no longer have custom recovery. The device also won't install gb and it shows a failure image when in recovery. Anyone know how I can get s-on? Also I believe the recovery failure is due to having an unlocked bootloader which I plan on relocking

Either install custom recovery with ADB or use the regular UrEVOked to flash clockwork.
---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------
Then relock your bootloader by typing into adb fastboot_oem_lock that should allow an RUU for GB to run
Alright I used unrevoked to root and flash clockwork. I installed s-on and returned to froyo. Now the bootloader won't relock. I typed in fastboot OEM lock and it says nothing after <waiting for devices>

Hey guys... been doing this a while but recently I decided to sell my old evos that were rooted, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to go back to stock.
First of all, my device is the HTC Evo 4G and I had the Amon-RA v2.3 recovery installed. I booted into that and reflashed back to stock using pc36img_supersonic_s_sprint_wwe_3.70.651.1_radio_2.15.00.11.19_nv_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip. Now I just need to relock and I'm golden, right? But how do I relock? to that just fine.
Currently I'm at HBOOT 2.10 and radio 2.15.00.11.19 and I'm unlocked with S-ON (I am NAND unlocked with no watermark)
Thanks for any advice
Could you post a picture of your bootloader screen?
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
NAND UNLOCKED WITH S-ON AND NO WATERMARK?--technically doesn't make sense. Your NAND is only unlocked if your bootloader reads either S-OFF or UNLOCKED on an Evo.
If you are S-ON with no watermark, then it sounds like you are already NAND locked. Do you not have a stock ROM or do you have Superuser installed or have a custom recovery? If so, all you need to do is run the PC36IMG file again. You have the correct one. If not, then your phone is already fully unrooted with NAND lock.
I'm not understanding what you mean, because your NAND is already locked, unless you want the Hboot with the watermarked "LOCKED OWW" that you really don't need if the phone is already unrooted. If you do let us know and we will give you a link.

Interesting. I thought after flashing the ROM I would be still rooted. I tried flashing RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.54.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_220182_signed.exe and this is the result:
No. Nand unlock is basically an unlocked or S-OFF bootloader on a Evo.
http://androidforums.com/incredible...hink-i-understand-root-but-nand-recovery.html
Your phone is really all set, unless you want to update it to the latest update. In that case you could just OTA it, then factory reset.
AND PLEASE HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF THIS HELPED YOU.
