How To Root Your HTC Incredible S

saurabh    Uncategorized    

The HTC Incredible S is a beast, but it’s more like one that’s chained and caged. To really feel its power, you need to root it. Surprisingly, it’s quite easy to do so. Here’s how.

First, before you can root your HTC Incredible S, you need to make your device “S-OFF” (this means SECURITY OFF). This allows you to overwrite system files, which is a requirement for rooting.

Requirements:

• HTC Incredible S
• Computer (Your OS must be Linux or Windows)
• USB data cable

To check if your device is S-OFF or S-ON, follow these steps:

1. First, click on Menu. Then tap on Settings > Applications > Turn off Fast Boot.
2. Then, turn off the phone.
3. Hold Volume Down key and Power button simultaneously for a few seconds.
4. This will reboot the phone and show you a white screen with some text. Check the first line to see if the phone is S-OFF or S-ON.
5. Also take note of the number next to HBoot on screen. You will need that information later
