[Q] Root impossible - HTC Desire S

Hi @ all
I've bought a new HTC Desire S. It was S-On, so I used http://revolutionary.io/ to s-off it under windows. Then I tried to use Gingerbreak, but it just shows "rooting... running exploit..." , but it doesn't happen anything. I waited 10 minutes and nothing happend. No alert, no reboot.
Then I tried SuperOneClick v 2.1.1, but it allways freezes at Step #6 rooting device.
What can I do?

Yes your phone is dead and you are ****ed!!!!
No actually next you do is remove the PG58IMG.zip from your sdcard otherwise it will keep asking to install it.
Than again vdown power than you chose the second option Recovery > there you see backup do a nandroid backup first. After that download a ROM of your choice. It will come as rom.101.blabla.zip you copy that anywhere on your SD card. You can mount the USB in recovery via the mount option and than the last one is USB. And than do the 2 wipes you see data and cache do them both. After that go to install > and install the zip. After that reboot and you can remove the rom rom.101.blabla.zip after it's booted.
Enjoy

Working now panic over

Go to the Development section and read this sticky post:

Revolutionary comes with an recovery system
Take a look at this guide there should all be in there.
A complete tutorial for beginners & others
Or
use this, it's an outdated clockworkmod recovery.
Download -> rename to PG88IMG.zip -> put to root of sd -> shutdown the device -> (fastboot must be off) press & hold volume -, then press power till it boots -> go to bootloader -> follow instructions -> remove the PG88IMG.zip from sd -> shutdown the device -> press & hold volume -, then press power till it boots -> go to bootloader -> choose recovery -> done
or
shutdown the device -> (fastboot must be off) press & hold volume -, then press power till it boots -> go to bootloader -> choose recovery -> done
to use revolutionary recovery
thanks !
But when i do this, at the boot i have this message :
PG88IMG no image
image parsing
and when i go to recovery i have a warning sign and that's it
Let's try the other way, download the apk at this thread and follow the instructions inside the thread.
After this you should be rooted, then download rom manager from market and let it install the recovery for you

Clockwork Recovery install problems

I have tried to install CWM on my HTC Sensation using the steps as outlined on Vipers guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300) after successfully completing the S-OFF section I follow the steps to install CWM and the HBOOT install completes successfully, so I reboot delete the .zip file then power off try to boot in to CWM by holding down pwr + vol down and it just boots in to the normal HBOOT menu and not CWM as needed.
Any help would be great. Thanks
Sorted it! I was being a fool!
You need to select 'recovery' in the hboot menu screen and that
will take you into cwm. Use the volume up/down buttons to move
the selector and power button to select it.

Skyrocket ICS-leak flash problem

Well, I've been trying to work my way through this one, but I'm unable to find an answer. I tried to flash the UCLD2 firmware ICS leak on my SR and it didn't work, and now the phone goes on an endless boot loop. My phone was rooted with stock ROM (Gingerbread 2.3.6) and I had clockworkmod installed. I did a full back up with Titanium Backup as well. I saw a page in android authority detailing how to flash it using clockwork mod and followed the clockworkmod method:
Flashing via ClockworkMod Recovery
NOTE: You will be needing a rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket with ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) installed. Check out our guide on how to root your Samsung Galaxy S2 skyrocket. You can also refer to this guide on how to root your phone running Android 4.0.3 UCALC4 firmware. For ClockworkMod Recovery, check this guide on how to flash ClockworkMod Touch Recovery to your phone.
Download the following to your computer:
Download the CWM-flashable UCLD2 package from here (skyrocket-ucld2-ics-leak.zip, md5sum: 5cb721bcacdadf7de2b0b9f041acc114).
Download the root fix file from here (su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip, 164 kB).
Download the Facebook and Samsung keyboard fix here (UCLD2FontHotfix.zip, 226 kB).
Copy the skyrocket-ucld2-ics-leak.zip, su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip, and UCLD2FontHotfix.zip to the root of your phone’s SD card.
Switch off your mobile phone.
Reboot your phone into ClockworkMod Recovery. To do that, press the Volume Up key, Volume Down key, and Power button simultaneously until Recovery Mode boots. NOTE: Once in Recovery Mode, use the Volume keys to navigate and Power button to select an option.
Perform a full wipe by doing the following:
Go to Wipe Data/Factory Reset and confirm the action on the next screen.
Select Wipe Cache Partition and confirm the action on the next screen.
From the main menu, select Advanced. From there, select Wipe Dalvik Cache and confirm the action on the next screen.
Go to Mounts and Storage and select Format /system on the next screen. Select Yes on the next screen to begin formatting your system.
Go back to the main menu and select Install ZIP from SD Card. Select Choose ZIP from SD Card and highlight the skyrocket-ucld2-ics-leak.zip. Confirm the action on the next screen to begin flashing the ZIP file to your phone.
Repeat step 6 but this time flash su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip to your phone. You will meet an error message after flashing this file. Just ignore the error message.
NOTE: Ignore the error after flashing this file. Just go to Superuser and make an update after booting your phone.
Flash the UCLD2FontHotfix.zip file in the same manner as in step 6.
After installing the 3 files, go back to the main menu and select Advanced. From there, select Fix Permissions.
Go back to the main menu and select Reboot system now to restart your mobile phone.
Once your phone has rebooted into Normal Mode, launch the Superuser app and update the su binaries.
Congratulations! You have successfully updated your Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket SGH-I727 to the leaked Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich firmware UCLD2.
I did everything detailed in the clockworkmod method, was very careful and checked everything multiple times. Once I did those steps when I tried to reboot the system it goes on an endless boot loop. Sometimes it gets to the splash screen, sometimes it doesn't. No error messages are displayed, it just keeps booting. I am able to access clockworkmod, but I'm not sure what to do at this point. I've re-downloaded the three files listed in the article and I've redone all the steps, with the same results (obviously...). Not sure what my next step is at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Use a 1 click release...
Hello.
Your solution:
Put the phone into Download mode, and install the leak from the original 1 click odin release by DesignGears.
How to do it?
1st, search in the forums the location of the firmware, be sure to use the 1 click release, there are 3 leaks, for me the second was the best, probably for you the 3rd will be better, use one of those 2.
Be sure to have all drivers for your phone installed, and be sure Kies wont start when you connect the phone.
Power the phone off, by removing the battery.
Press, Vol up and Down at the same time, while keeping them pressed, connect the USB cable, then, run the 1 click binary.... wait some minutes while it says it is done and enjoy!!!!
Hope it helps, if any problems arise, let us know. I will check the thread later today and tomorrow.
Thank you! Working on it right now. I'll update you on how it goes.
Hope it ends fine for you!
Worked like a charm! Not sure why it didn't work the other way. Regardless, thank you so very much.
Nice!!!
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
