Look at the top line of the bootloader screen.
Which you get by performing the initial same steps as you would do to perform the hard (full) reset but without...actually confirming!
Nice- this works. Got my S-OFF Desire S rooted with this very easily!
Waiting for Clockwork now
i cannot pass "waiting for device" tryed what sayd on that thread but nothing helps,can you guys post what you have done specifically step by step to make it work?maybe i'am missing something..thank you!
S-off
Is there a way to get S-off without using the SIM attachment thing (sorry don't know proper name for it), for example, like the HD2, is there a program that you can run that will enable S-off. if not is it possible to roll back the radio or something so that this can be done. (If this is all rubbish then I apologise, still getting used to HTC after my x10 mini pro)
With the ol' Desire, you can root it even if it's S-ON...
Why with Desire S can't?
S-off
Dunno, have tried with superoneclick to try and root it but the dialog box gets stuck on waiting for device, might try some others such as visionaryor z4root.

I know,aparently i have the same problem and nobody was kind enough to help us.
Edit:i think is de A>DB driver,wich i cannot find it,anyone any ideas?`tryed to update from nexus oen adb driver but does not recognize it.
Edit 2: yes it was the driver,in order to get it use the htc sync for all aplication,that would provide your drivers,OP please write this in your first post,maybe some other encounter same problem.

Hmmm tis worth a try to update drivers, although can't try at the moment, will try when i get back to a computer, have tried visionary, it just gives me a black screen and lags the phone, and z4root won't install

For anyone that has had difficulty rooting the HTC Desire S.
Having had my HTC Desire S made S-Off by Androf ( Root internet cafe on Edgware Rd London ) I noticed that there are a few methods to root the DS.
Most of which are quite complicated but alas I managed to find a simple method.
The Gingerbreak 1.20 APK manages to root any S-Off DS quickly and easily, simply download the app directly to the phone or download and transfer to the phone. Once that has been done simply install the APK file onto the phone, once that is done simply run the app and follow the instructions and then your phone should say something along the lines of there was a mistake and try a manual reboot to check if Superuser is installed.
For a few people such as myself you may notice that once you run the Gingerbreak APK the phone reboots itself and doesn't work, if this happens to you then simply format your SD card and remount it and try again and "voila" you should have superuser installed and root access on the DS.
Hope this helps anyone that may have encountered the same problems as me.

Don't fear! I believe that I'm the same boat as you, also coming from a TOPAZ and WM65, so any daft question feel happy to ask me (not that I'll be able to answer them!) I've had a sharp learning curve over the last 6weeks and my first Android device!
There are a few ways of knowing if you have route access.
First thing to check is if you have superuser access, if you can't find that out then simply go to the market and download an app called route check and that will tell you if you are rooted.
Hope this helps.
Ron
Ok, thanks guys. Couldn't find route checker but got something similar that told me I don't have SU rights - this apk installed fine for me tho.
Anyway, think I'll have a scout around and see what I'm actually trying to do and if I need to!
Thanks again

You must be S-OFF to use it though.
I was about to post a thread asking the same question. I have a SOFF phone and wanted to know how to root it without getting into trouble.

Dont people use the search anymore???
how to root s-on device? or how to s-off my DS??
My understanding is that rooting an S-on phone, if possible, only achieves a temp root that is lost on reboot. S-Off at present is only possible with xtc clip (hardware device) ( =lots of money). Software method is likely coming soon (ish) via alpharev team.
Suggest googling xtc and/or alpharev.

Can you please provide some additional information about your device.
Your ROM version, HBOOT version, have you made the phone S-OFF? etc

but im stuck at step 1 and every time i try i get this message "FAILED TO GET ROOT"
try on 2 different PC i unlocked it with HTCDEV but im unable to get root pls help
HTC Sensation (pyramid -1.18.0000, Android 2.3.4 ROM Version 1.50.111.2
Branded in T-Mobile Germany
it isn't rooted even though you've unlocked it with HTCDEV? Someone else could probably help you better on this matter as I've never used that yet... But I thought HTCDEV Basically rooted your phone?
do you have debuggin enabled on phone? make sure you have it on usb charge,
also:
If you are getting root error messages
Some Users acheived root by repeating Step 3 a few times Try this
1. Repeat step 3 at least 3 times or until it installs completely .
2. Download busy box from the market , open it and install the app.
3. Reboot and that should do it , root should be working and WiFi with s off
4. You may get messages telling you it failed to root or installation aborted but reboot and check it with root checker. Many users are told its failed but are actually rooted now
If u want to verify if u have root download the app called root checker it checks for root and for busy box to b installed correctly... if that fails
Try Installing/REINSTALLING SuperUSER and Busybox (or busybox installer) from the market. if it still doesn't work then
Flash a custom Rom as they come Pre-Rooted
Many Tmous users are acheiving root while a few are not. please try all of the above mentioned methods.

Uninstall any programs that may connect to the phone over USB and automatically sync. Specifically, we have had interference from HTC Sync and Doubletwist in the past; other programs may also cause trouble. Try reinstalling the drivers, if all else fails (or use Linux, which has a 99% less sucky USB stack).

Hey don't think I am a noob. I may not know programming only because I don't know the language and also because I am an early electronics student. Now, I am s-on with 1.18.0000 I tried Revolutionary but it fails to get the root as I have accidentally updated to the latest HTC software optimisation update. Now, the only way to get out of this **** is to either wait for ICS and then its root which I don't know how much long that is, or downgrade it, which is also like rooting it except I can root my phone after downgrading but I don't know how safe it is. And the third and the best is finding out whether we can root the phone by achieving temp root with taco root and then while its bootlooping, using revolutionary to achieve s-off and then rest of the business. So. I am asking u "Devs" to try and report back to me whether this taco root worked. Thanks

Is the SuperUser app installed? If yes then the phone is rooted, which has nothing to do with unlocking the bootloader, it is still S-OFF'd.
S-OFF and rooting are slightly different things. You need to flash a different bootloader to S-OFF it.
If it didn't work you can use gingerbreak which is an apk file you run from your phone

Yes you can get s-off, look in the development section, there is a one click root. Since you have 4.1 on there I am guessing you are S-ON rooted?

If you can't get into bootloader, try enabling usb debugging ( Settings > Development), then connect your phone to your computer and download the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) from HERE
Open a command window in the place where you extracted the adb files and type "adb devices"
If your device is not recognized, download and install the drivers from HERE
After that, try "adb devices" again, if something like "HT8472JW76 device" shows up, then that's good
Now type "adb reboot-bootloader" and see if that gets you into bootloader
This is kind of a lot of work, but it definitely helps in the long run. Also, I would not run my utility until you have downgraded to 2.2 by running an RUU (all of them can be found HERE, 2.2 is the one that has the number "1.17.651") or by flashing a PG06IMG.zip through bootloader. The utility checks what version you are using, and if its anything other than 2.2 or 2.3.4 it throws an error, so just downgrade to 2.2 directly and then use the utility.
If you have any questions or if anything does not make sense, don't be afraid to ask

Do you have superuser installed? Or ROM Manager? You're problem is strange. Check out ROM Manager after you install superuser and see if it will let you install a recovery... I have never had S-On root I just know it's out there and you have to have some kind of root because you are not on stock. I am S-Off and most of the people on here are, so root that baby and get to flashing.

The shift was shipped with 2.2 and 2.3.x so if you have anything other then that it was rooted to get to where you are. How you lost root is beyond any of us. And maybe beyond the guy that sold it to you. Pull the battery and place it back in hold volume down and power, that should be a sure shot at getting to bootloader, then take a picture and post that

Like strapped365 said, this is definitely a weird situation and I've never come across it myself. The best option would probably be to just run a 2.2 RUU and root from there. You can also check for root by downloading "root checker" from the play store, its by joeykrim (the free version will work fine)

The shift was shipped with 2.2 and 2.3.x so if you have anything other then that it was rooted to get to where you are. How you lost root is beyond any of us. And maybe beyond the guy that sold it to you. Pull the battery and place it back in hold volume down and power, that should be a sure shot at getting to bootloader, then take a picture and post that

He had said earlier that that didn't work for him, that's why I suggested the adb route

If he can't get into boot loader its probably because fastboot is checked. In 2.3x its in settings/power at the bottom. I don't know about his though.

Hmm, my understanding was that fastboot is only on HTC roms?

Hmm, thats interesting. So its not possible to delete the bootloader at all?

It's me again. I just connected the guy, who sold me this phone. Perhaps he can help. If not, i will try the adb-method. If I get problems with that, I'll ask for help again here - i'f never tried this method. But thanks to all you guys so far for your interest and support. i'll keep you informed.
P.S. Root checker told me "no root". And because some one asked me, this is the bootscreen. there is no HTC-screen before that. ATTACH]1532658[/ATTACH]

Check what was quoted.... Did I say that? no I did not, i said it don't just disappear. And before that I said the guy that sold it to him would know what was wrong.
Now if you delete your bootloader that's on you, and if you did it and didn't tell anyone then sold said phone, you would be the only one who could help someone in that situation. After you hangout here more you will notice a redundancy of posts because 90% of rooted users don't even deserve to have a smartphone let alone a rooted one, so they never know what their talking about so we try to push the core troubleshooting methods to get them to where they need to go. It's like calling sprint what's their first step? Factory data reset to give you a level playing field, here I just told the guy how to get into bootloader if there was a fastboot checked. Also I've seen so many users get the version of Sense mixed up with the version of Android so again we fall back to the core known methods of solving a problem. I've been with the shift since release so I've seen every failed ota by HTC and every moronic thing that can be done with this phone. But no matter how I told him to get somewhere all you new guys just take over like no oldies but goodies know......btw if bootloader is missing adb reboot bootloader wouldn't work either right? So again with the redundant instructions to get the the same place

Ok so i need help rooting and unlocking the bootloader for my At&t HTC One X my phone is currently not connected to network (if that makes a difference) So all day i've been trying to unlock the bootloader for my phone through the HTCDev site but i keep getting the error code 160 and MID not allowed. Yes I have made sure that i pasted the characters correctly but still no luck . I'm an extreme noob to this since this is my first smartphone and I'm trying to root it so I can install Jell Bean on my device. If anyone can help me solve this situation it would be extremely appreciated thanks in advance for reading Furthermore, i need a solution in rooting my HTC One X 1.73 Version 4.0.3

Yea man i've done that method numerous amount of times. when i do it "adb server out of date. killing...." and "ADB didn't ACK" comes up alot not sure if that's the reason why it won't let me root
Have you installed the latest HTC Sync Version on your Computer?
If not, install it. Maybe you're just running an old driver for your phone

My apologies if this is silly. Do you have adb installed
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
open the task manager, which has adb.exe process and end (kill) that process
Then close your oneclick and re-open it.
That should fix the "ADB server didn't ACK, failed to start daemon" Message.
If that doesn't work you could try installing the lastest android SDK with the latest ADB/fastboot
There's nothing wrong with the rooting procedure. Your lack of technical knowledge is what's holding you back. If you can't troubleshoot issues like this unlocking this phone may not be for you.
I dunno what I did or anything like that. But for some reason the ONLY way I can get adb to recognize my phone is to have HTC sync actually running but minimized. If I exit it from the tray or kill application adb tells me no device found or "waiting for device" indefinitely

Yeah the exploits don't root your phone, They guve temp root to give you supercid so you can unlock the bootloader on HTCDEV. Once your bootloader is unlocked you can flash recovery, after that you can flash su or a rooted rom.
