-Whatever is on this page is totally experimental and not meant to be used by anyone stumbling by.
+incsfree is tool for the HTC incredible S to get the phone to S-OFF, SuperCID and remove the SIM-lock (hopefully).
 
-It is very likely that you kill your device if you use this on your own.
+It is still in an very stage and has only been tested for S-OFF and SuperCID. The removel of the SIM-lock is still untested.
 
+== incsfree and it's options ==
+
+=== --recovery === 
+-y (or --recovery) option allows you to install a recovery image file to partition 21. It will create a backup file of your existing partition 21 named /sdcard/part21backup-<time>.bin. ''' Please make sure that you are using the correct recovery image file for your device! '''. You can use -y together with -w: This will disable the write protection of the emmc and install the recovery image but will not change anything in partition 7.
+
+== gfree version 0.5 contained in gfree_05.zip ==
+'''WARNING''' if you are using the new -b option then i '''highly recommend''' that after running it and syncing you create md5sums of the hboot.img that you installed and /dev/block/mmcblk0p18. This can be done using busybox.
+{{{
+adb push busybox /data/local/
+adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/busybox
+}}}
+And then in your temp-root shell (the one with the # prompt)
+{{{
+/data/local/busybox md5sum /sdcard/hboot-eng.img
+/data/local/busybox md5sum /dev/block/mmcblk0p18
+}}}
+If the md5sums don't match then '''first of all - DON'T REBOOT''' and second run for help at the #G2ROOT IRC channel on freenode.
+
+'''gfree version 0.5 is known to have problems to disable the write protection on some vodafone desire z devices.'''
+
+Changes:
+
+* added -b option to install a hboot image file to partition 18. It will create a backup file of your existing partition 18 named /sdcard/part18backup-<time>.bin. ''' Please make sure that you are using the correct hboot image file for your device! '''. One can use -b together with -w: This will disable the write protection of the emmc and install the hboot image but will not change anything in partition 7.
