S-Off but no root - HTC Desire S

Hi i s-offed my DS today without any problems.
But when i tried to install gingerbread1.20.apk to gain root the DS didnt recognazied the file.
Anyone kniw what to do?

I used gingersnap since gingerbreak failed for me on Desire S.

Try download it from some other mirror or try SuperOneClick. I have done it with GingerBreak, it says it failed but i have root now.

I also had success with GingerBreak. It's on the market btw.

What exactly did you do? You need t be more specific.
Download the file to your SD. With a file explorer, install the .apk, then run the installed.apk. Is this similar to what you did?

Gingerbreak 1.1 worked for me
I tried gingerbreak ver. 1.1, it would initially pop-up a message saying something gone wrong, but after rebooting, superuser will be installed.
Hope this helps,

[Q] s-off no root

Ok I used bubby's simple one click root I got s-off but my phone didn't take the root any help would be greatly appreciated thank you
check in your app folder if you have super user you are in fact rooted....if for some reason it was not installed go into a terminal emulator and type in "su" and you should get a superuser request and that would confirm you are rooted if it works...
Do you have clockwork recovery?

If you have s-Off then you can try re-flashing the rooted stock PD98IMG.zip from bubby's package. It's extracted into a temp dir on your computer when you run bubbys tool.
I'd guess it gets deleted once you close bubbys tool, as its only extracted temporarily for use by the tool, so you may have to start up the tool to get it to extract it, then find it before closing the tool again.
Once you find that PD98IMG.zip, put it on your SD card and reflash it that way.
Yeah I have superuser but it fc's on me and I have clockwork it's got me stumped maybe I'll try and reroot it again

If you're S-OFF and you've got clockwork, then you're pretty much as rooted as you need to be. Just install a custom ROM of your choice through clockwork. Any of the popular ones from the DEV thread should be properly configured for su, etc.

This problem has been encountered before, I believe. I forget the specifics of the fix, I think it's in bubbys thread somewhere, but it has to do with clearing data/cache for the superuser app and/or redownloading superuser from the market.
Check the thread for the exact details. May even be in the FAQ for bubbys tool (linked in post #1 of that thread).

[Q] a noob question (about root,framework)

Hello.Some of you may remember me from htc diamond thread.I was an old user of that phone,then i went to iphone and now i'm testing android (and i'm very pleased until now)...
Now,my question,I bought htc desire S,downloaded Andexplorer and i copied framework-res.apk from system/framework to sd card,then to pc and i put my icons for battery percentage.Now i try to copy it back to system/framework and a message pop-ups and says "cannot paste framework-res.apk from clipboard"...do i have to unlock my root or something?
ps: i've searched but didn't find anything helpful
thanks in advance
You can use root explorer and click on the R/W icon
If no you can push the files with android sdk doing before
adb remount
adb push file /system/framework
i used root explorer and a message told me that i have to root my phone :/
i have downloaded android sdk,but i don't think it will allow me to paste framework-res.apk if i haven't rooted my phone first
I dont think you can change framework at all if you dont root
yeah i know.I'm trying to find an easy way to root my phone
give us some info about phone...what is hboot version,radio etc etc...then we can find way to help u
my HBoot is 0.98.0000..i have tried with alpharev X,but i don't know why it didn't S-off
edit: also i run reflash,and it says that saga isn't supported yet :/
edit2:my wrong,it's s-off but i still can't paste framework-res.apk

you need to run gingerbreak after s-off to get root

did you try reinserting the battery again?
can you get into bootloader?
yeah,reinserting the battery doesn't do anything...
bootloader? you mean the screen where i choose between fast boot,recover,factory reset etc? yeah i can get there

then there is a way you can flash a prerooted rom like LBC mod to get root & also recover from your current problem
but im not exactly sure how to do that
good news : i fixed it.For those who have the same problem-> i downloaded and copied to sd card (through a minisd reader) this program clockworkmod recovery,then i installed it on my phone..Last i downloaded a different ROM and installed it through this program (i am a s-off user)
Bad news: i really need the original ROM,where can i find it?

If you are s-off you don't need any special procedures. Just download > install > run VISIONary.apk (r14)
Just checking
And try to perm root ?

i want to know if you know ... i upgraded to 4.0.3 by flashing the entire rom and kernal at the same time with Heimdall!
Heimdall has terrible support now(mac user here ) Anyway my phone never boots when i try to root it ... i tried the oneclick root - the doomlord ZergRush which i think is only for 2.3.6 roms - trying to get cwm on root permission - and flashing Kernals stops my phone booting - and one click methods just don't do anything when they complete!
So i tried ALL rooting methods and none work!
Should i go back to 2.3.6 and try doing it again from there?
Then i can upgrade once i'm rooted?
Or do i upgrade and then root again?
i'm so confused ....
At least i got my WIFI back by clearing out my cashe (but now with this i think i just give up since my phone works and battery is good)
But can i flash a complete 2.3.6 rom all in one go ?
Then what do i do from there?
THanks

No proper root access

Hi,
I just rooted my sensation (t-mobile) using juopunutbear's wire trick and everything and flashed the clockworkmod touch recovery and it works. Then, I used the recovery to flash the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip and that seemed successful. However, when I rebooted, I downloaded root checker, and it said "Sorry! This device does not have proper root access." Does anyone know whats wrong or had a similar problem?
The phone's software number is 3.32.531.14 710RD. I also attached a picture of the bootloader. Any help would be great appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Edit: PROBLEM SOLVED!

you can try to install any app that needs root permissions
and see if it works just for testing
otherwise flash 4ext recovery and then flash the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip again
for recovery see here

I get an error, it's in the attachment:
I figured out the problem! Apparently since the phone was ICS, su-2.3.6.3 did not work. Thus, I found the superSU.zip and installed that and it worked!
