search around this maybe linked to me having the ota update from some time back

If you used XTC then you don't need to bother about getting rooted to start with!
You will need to initially flash the ENG (engineering bootloader) see this thread over your existing one.
Then you aiming to install a custom recovery CWM (clockworkmod) which you can do by following the steps in my signature this will enable you to flash a pre-rooted custom ROM.
You'll need to download and extract the adb&fastboot exe's onto a directory on your PC.
install the HTC drivers onto your PC
then follow the steps within the Flash CWM & su via fastboot
At this point you should be able to take a backup of your original ROM (albeit now rooted) just in case you have any issues during the flashing of your first customs, you'll have a safe point to restore back to.
Now you can load a custom ROM that will be rooted.
see the various sticky threads for guides.
I'm off to bed now, but will assist if you need help still tomorrow.
thanks for reply pc watching die hard 2 so will work through your advice tomorrow

watched the end of Die Hard2 last night myself, Don't movies age!
Yep...good good, although you'll also need adbB&fastboot and HTC drivers on your PC as well (they may be there alreay?)
cant beat the first die hard but entertaining.
custom recovery CWM, root and backup complete so time to try out a new rom.
orginal plan was to try out virtuous but now i'm think hyperion 1.3.
cannot fault your help/guidance
thank you for your time

No problem, good call on the ROM only recently moved to this one myself and certainly don't have any complaints.
Would also suggest that now you're up and running it's worth switching to 4EXT recovery. It has more functionality and better support for our device even though it's still based on the solid code base of CWM!
Don't bother moving up to the latest HBOOT 2.xx.xxxx no matter what you read (not for a while anyway - just no benefit!)

And i was asking if i can root my device to miui 3.2.7? and if i need to go back to the original version just for warranty whitout any trace?
if there is posible, can someone post me the links where to do the root from and where to go bock if necesary?
10x in advance
To S-Off, follow this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194488
This guide will also teach you how to flash recovery and ROOT. As far as i know, there's no MIUI 3.2.7, give me a link and i'll tell you how to flash.
The process is reversable, i'll post the link in just a minute.
i mistype the miui is 2.3.7
ohh, that's it. Steps to flash
=> OPTIONAL Download Titanium backup from market and backup all your apps.
=> Download and transfer ROM to SD card
=> Reboot into recovery.
=> Format system, data, cache and dalvik cache.
=> Wipe data/factory reset.
=> go to Install ZIP from SDcard => Choose ZIP from SD card => Select MIUI 2.3.7
Reboot, and there you have it.
PS- In recovery, you navigate Up and Down using volume buttons, and the power button is your OK/SELECT button.
PPS - The tutorial to reverse S-OFF was removed by author Still, you can reverse it, just need to ask around when you need to. I'm pretty sure you wont
DETAILED VIDEO TUT - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvg0i8in96M
Still w8ing for a Unroot option before i can use this, i may go in service whit this phone soon. 10x
You can definitely unroot, just post another thread in the Q&A Section asking HOW TO S-ON AFTER REVOLUTIONARY S-OFF. IDK how to do this, or i'd tell you myself.
Right guys i know im new here but have a big problem. Now i got my UK Virgin Desire S and decided to root to flash custom roms.
Stated before with :
Saga PVT Ship S-ON RL
Hboot 0.98.0002
Radio 3805.06.02.03_m
Emmc-Boot
March 30th 2011
So i used revolution to root and turn S off. I did a backup once installed.
I then flashed the ICS custom rom v4 off here and it was too buggy so decided on a standard rom (the latest i could find : RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed) so thopught i could flash it straight away, so i did.
It didnt finish but flashed radio and the latest Hboot so now i am on :
Saga PVT Ship S-ON RL
Hboot 2.00.0002
Radio 3822.10.08.04_m
eMMC-Boot
Aug 22 2011
So after the flash i was left with this and no rom but still had the clockwork recovery to flash custom roms but they wouldnt load due to the S-ON.
Now i have tried to flash the original restore from the backup i did but it keeps saying md5 checksum wrong, i have even flashed standard recovery rom using fastboot and tried to flash different RUU's (have downloaded and tried 6 now with failures on all of them with error 155)
Now im sure it must be something to do with the Security being on but i cant understand why it wont flash the backup i made that was off my phone in the first place. I have looked for a UK Virgin RUU with no avail so have been trying all the Europe ones.
Now i have noticed when trying to update the rom it is saying update from image : 1.47.351.2 if that helps.
Would really appreciate some help here guys and im sorry for being a noob.
Regards

With HBOOT 2.00.0002 you have to go to HTCDEV.com and follow the procedure to unlock your bootloader. Then I would suggest looking at The post on how to downgrade from HBOOT 2.00.0002.
hi gents,after a brief spell with the iphone.i am back to htc,with the sensation xe.swapped the iphone for this xe ( 3 weeks old ),trying to figure out what is the set up on this xe,as the person i swapped with said he had not rooted it,only ota updates.

anybody got any ideas as to what rom is on this phone ?
thanks in advance...
Bit of a guess but it might just be a rooted Stock ROM.
Hello guys,
Recently I bought HTC Desire S and the ROM on it is Cyanogenmod 7.2.
Now I am trying to install on official version of android 4.0.3. I downloaded the RUU from htcdev.com
RUU_SAGA_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_14.01.401.2_Radio_20.76.30.0835_3831.19.00.110_release_275068_signed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I plug the phone in PC and start the RUU, click few next buttons... till i get to the window to the Current information about your androud phone:
It says I got a ROM verson 2.10.401.4 and it needs to be updated to 14.01.401.2 (check picture 1)
After I click the next button and the wizard starts to update my phone. (check picture 2)
After one minute of that updating process I get the following error: (check picture 3)
ERROR [155]: Unknown Error
The only thing i can do is click recovery which doesn't help at all ....
Information about bootloader:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.02.0002
RADIO-3831.19.00.110
eMMC-boot
Recovery is 4EXT Recovery 2.2.7 RC5
So my question is what am I doing wrong, and how can I install official version of android on my phone.
Tnx for answers,
You want STOCK rom or is it just Sense 3.6 that interests you ?
If it's just for Sense 3.6, there are few customs roms all around here. but you're S-ON so you'll need to flash boot.img independently via adb..
Instead if you want a completly stock rom you can check this thread.
Ok, I relocked the bootloader now I am in updating process. I will tell you what will happend
Till now everything looks okay
Great, if update began then you shouldn't have any prob
XDApped from my pimped Desire S
I got my HTC Sensation a few days ago second-hand, and it was already S-OFF and came with DarkSense. Since then I've been playing with a few ROMs, and after I installed ViperS and a kernel in it's hub (the updated Bricked kernel) I'm stuck in a bootloop.
I tried to:
- Recover a nandroid backup
- Wipe everything except SD card
- Install other ROMs/kernels
But it's still stuck
I searched the forums, and I came across some posts about SuperCID, but from what I understand that shouldn't be relevant for the firmware I'm using (the universal 3.33).
I also saw a post about smartflash, but that too shouldn't be relevant because I have S-OFF, correct?
Any help/suggestions are highly appreciated

Follow the instructions I gave here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37836634&postcount=3
After you get the phone booting again, install the TWRP recovery as it's the best recovery for S-OFF users. If you have any questions on flashing a boot.img file then feel free to ask
