incsfree is tool for the HTC incredible S to get the phone to S-OFF, SuperCID and remove the SIM-lock (hopefully).

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

incsfree usage:
incsfree [-h|-?|--help] [-v|--version] [-s|--secu_flag on|off]
	-h | -? | --help: display this message
	-v | --version: display program version
	-s | --secu_flag on|off: turn secu_flag on or off

--secu_flag, --cid, --sim_unlock

These options will change the configuration information of the phone in partition 7. Using one of these flaga will create a backup file of your existing partition 7 named /sdcard/part7backup-<time>.bin. Please make a backup of these files in a secure place on your computer - especially the first file created is the only chance you have to restore the phone to it's original state.

--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.

--hboot

-b (or --hboot) option allows you 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! . You can use -b 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.

WARNING if you are using the -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/tmp/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/busybox

And then in your temp-root shell (the one with the # prompt)

/data/local/tmp/busybox md5sum /sdcard/hboot-eng.img
/data/local/tmp/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_verify

Short guide how to verify that gfree worked.

Download and unpack gfree_verify.zip and unpack it on your PC.

Copy gfree_verify to the phone:

adb push gfree_verify /data/local

Get a shell

adb shell

In the shell

su
cd /data/local
chmod 777 gfree_verify
stop ril-daemon
./gfree_verify

You should see this output:

gfree verify_cid returned: 
@CID: 11111111

OK

gfree verify_secu_flag returned: 
@secu_flag: 0

OK

gfree verify_simlock returned: 
@SIMLOCK= 00

OK

Start the ril-daemon again by using

start ril-daemon

(or reboot your phone)
