Well, first, have you even tried searching the forums? You aren't the first person that's run into problems.
At the very least you could provide a little more detail. You can't really expect anyone to help just by starting a new thread saying "it doesn't work," instead of posting in Bubbys thread, where it should be.
One thing I do recall, though I haven't gone through the process myself, is you need root for the S-On tool to work.

I got root but still can't get s-on so i'm on standby just building up the energy to do some more research before jumping into it again.

I got it. Use buys one click root program to downgrade. Then use the s on tool

Good for you.
Now maybe you can tell me what the point of posting was then, if a little perseverance on your part was all it took?
Kinda like what I was asking you about in my previous post.

Only answers

Please if its been posted,tell me where and ill read it but a quick search revealed nothing. I just picked up my inspire and when I check for HTC update it shows there is one. Do I need to update before rooting? Also what changes are there as far as any major steps to flashing a Rom. Like if I want inspired ace can I just root,flash recovery and install Rom? Or does the bootloaders need to be flashed before flashing a gingerbread Rom? Sorry for the 838393 million questions but I'm a long time Samsung user lol,I know my way around rooting and flashing but I know HTC phones can be a little different

No. You Do not need to update first.

anyway, like he said do that .. as far as the update first or not:
you can flash whatever radio you want after you are done rooting; for me i rooted before the OTA, but for wifey we did the update first.. it doesn't matter, as the info will be destroyed during the root anyway.
you cannot OTA after root from what i gather, as i was never offered the update as i was rooted

Lol sorry for putting it like that. It's just sometimes someones question sounds like one that's been answered already,but they mean it in a different specific way. Here lately people have been a little rude about the whole "its been answered" but really I just have a hard time explaining exactly what I mean in text. I don't mind reading the stickies but sometimes it gets confusing if you are new to a device and don't know what stage the development is at lol. But thanks man,ill go read the stickies and if I have any problems ill just post back here lol. Appreciate the kind answer

Well don't take it to harshly most are just sarcastic. I mean I am just sarcastic.

What doesn't help is when you can't truly tell for sure if its a playful sarcasm or mean sarcasm. It sometimes is hard to tell considering we are talking to each other in text form. There have been some posts I've read, not by you, but others, that I couldnt particularly tell if they were being mean or just being a smart @ss just to mess with someone without offending. I just wanna say something to the ones who have meant there sarcasm in a mean way. My wife's cousin coined these 2 phrases, and I like using them a lot. "Can't we all just smoke a bong!" And, "Life's a ***** and then you die, f*** the world let's get high!" Lmao ;D

My favorite method is to apply the OTA and then use Gingerbreak. Chainfire is a fantastic developer and I used gingerbreak to install rom manager, flash CWM, and get your flashing on.

You need to read mudknot's stickied guide front to back several times. The best advice anyone can give you on it is read, read, read, and read some more. The process is not complicated, but is not easy by no means. It will happen if you read, be patient, don't rush, and follow the steps precisely.

There are two methods on how to root....there is the (Hack Kit)... And the (simple one click ) by bubby... I used the one click method... But read read read...
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Read read read. Do more research, have a drink to calm the nerves, then use bubby's one click. Works perfectly! Then after that flash the Ninja rom in my sig.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App

Everyone is correct. Reading first will help things go a lot smoother. I would recommend attn1 hack kit. You have a lot of roms to choose from. Just take your time. If you really get stuck or don't understand then ask.

I agree. Read and one click

Oh thanks I rooted super easy ...what's the custom Rom that's is close to stock in look and feel

Search the Dec section for tcp.. stock..blowy removed. Sense and overclockable.. or if you ant also get gingerbeast or ninja. SOMe peeps. Like nihilism. It sucks tho. Lol

Root password?
Im trying to follow the Ace Hack Kit (v11), but when I try to run the hack-ace.sh code, it asks me for the root password, which I don't know and can;t find anywhere online. I feel like an idiot for asking, but what is it? Ive been searching for hours.
Im running OS X 10.6.6, and the phone is Kernel version 2.6.32.21-g6a5ff14 [email protected] #1, if that helps at all.
Im new to rooting, Ive been a Jailbreaker until I just switched to Android. I understand everything in the hack guide, just cant get past the simplest step it feels like. Someone help me out?
And sorry for putting this on someone else's thread... it wouldnt let me post an original for some reason.

Lol. Man the keyboard really had it in for you on that one.
I like "blowy" though. It's a refreshing change.

I have had two inspires and on my first one I used Bubby's rooting program only because it did not require the use of command prompt as much as the Hack kit did at the time, but on my second inspire I used the hack kit because that has truly been turned into a fool proof way of rooting and it seem's that bubby has abandoned his rooting program because it has not been updated for sometime. The hack kit does it all for you all you have to do is tell it what you want done by entering either a 1,2 or a 3 and it does the rest.
As for rom's I use the Coredroid because it is closer to the HTC stock sense and Surgio keeps up on the updates and the bugs also.

I'm on my first Android with the Inspire and rooted a few days ago using the hack kit... it was very simple and all went well. I've gone through a few roms already, probably didn't give each enough time but wanted to find something I liked and now ended up with GingerBeast. There is a problem with GPS though with Gingerbread but if you look for gingerbread gps fix it can be taken care of easily.

You should give each rom at least a week to see how it works, there is a wierd thing with rom's they need a couple of days to settle in to the phone and to see how the battery and everything else work with that certain rom, that is why I have chosen one rom and have stuck with it through two inspires, I have found coredroid to be the best rom for my purposes and none other fit the bill.

I am also new to Rooting of my inspire, but not a noob to android by anymeans. I searched and searched through and through the thread with the simple one click root. I understand what it is that i need to do.
But for the life of me, i cannot get the simple one click root application to download and install on my computer. I have my antivirus and all off, firewall turned off. I download the file, it starts extracting and unziping. Then it goes to installation. The green bar at the bottom gets up to about 90% full, then the entire screen just closes by itself and thats it.
Restarted my computer 4 times and tried it again 4 times last night with the same results. SO i guess my question is not going to be how to root, i think i got a grasp on that one, but can someone point me in the direction of a different link for the one click app or lend some advice of how i can get it installed.

I had the same problem with my old XP laptop. I studied for a month, was sure I had my PC set up correctly. And Bubby's just would not run on my PC. Ended up using the hack kit which worked. One thing they do say to make sure you have the latest .FrameworkNet and Java consoles installed, for something to check.

Thanks for the response. It is appreciated. I did do those updates amd still no luck. Guess its the hack kit for me.

[Q] New update to Jelly bean and HTC one S

Can anyone help? I have downloaded a new update to the HTC One S which is the new Sense 4.1 and the jelly bean update. Now I tried to install but
kept rebooting me into bootloader. I tried to Root my phone once and managed to unlock my bootloader but wasnt able to install a working recovery on my phone so I just relocked the bootloader. So What Im looking to do is either to find someone to help me root my phone by helping unlock my relocked bootloader and help me to fully root my phone and to install a new rom or to help me install the new update on my One S.
My Device is an S3 chipset. I think ofcourse, as my Cpu runs to up to 1.7 mhz... Can anyone help me do one or the other?

Lollll. This is a funny post. Have fun getting flamed man. I hope you get burned.

My advice for you is to go at a MobileServiceCenter and for aprox 15 euro you can get this job done. Also, for sure you don't have Jelly Bean, but just the last version of 4.0.4. ICS with 4.1 Sense for S3 One S.

I recommend quoting people when replying to them. That way they get a notification because normally people don't subscribe to threads like this.
Again this is a question probably more suited to the HTC One section. However, I'll help you.
Rooting is just giving yourself (end user) elevated permissions. The actual root directory is locked for you to access when you get the phone. Essentially rooting will give you freedoms to install and work apps that normally wouldn't e.g Internet tethering.
To answer your question, rooting will not make it slower. Because you haven't really done anything to the phone other then change permissions. You won't even know a phone is rooted unless you check. Rooting can actually make your phone faster via kernel tweaking apps. However, To really make your phone faster you need to flash a custom rom (google it).
And your last question. This forum is for development. Almost everyone has their phones rooted with a custom recovery. That's why they're here
