read all this and u will figure out

Go through the guides on the index thread in the desire s development section.
Also read the tips on how to avoid bricking.
If done correctly, totally safe. Depends on your experience n patience too I guess. U haven't mentioned what version hboot etc you have which is the starting point.
Re your recovery thread, Google it or search xda, there's also a glossary...

Thx so much my hboot is 0.98.0002

Does revolutionary requires administrator to run? Cuz I don't hv the admin rights x( is there any method that I can bypass that? Sorry if this sound stupid

You will be fine with revolutionary,it's. What I used to do mine straight from virgin. it will S-off then drop the file you download from the site on the SD card and flash it to get root

To learn how to flash a rom you first need to learn to search. Look at the sticky in the Inspire 4G General section. It will teach you how to flash a Rom.

The same way you got CM7 of course.

Then even after you get help doing it, I would suggest you read up and try and uderstand what you are doing. You very well could end up having a brick that you can't do anything with except look at.
Miui is VERY buggy and cap, don't bother. Looks amazing but I'm back on CM7 after trying two different MIUI versions last night.

SEE YA!
I was actually really impressed with MIUI. I thought I was going to hate it because of the iphoneish look to the UI so I never bothered to try it but once I did it impressed me & I got the best benchmarks & speed tests out of it than any other rom. But I love my VU & sense :')

CID - Carrier IDentification, it's restricts which software can be installed on a phone. SuperCID is a universal CID where the phone will accept any kind of firmware image from anyone.
SuperCID is necessary only for flashing RUU's from different regions. You don't need a SuperCID to flash a custom ROM's
I have an unlocked sensation Z710e...Do i need to install super CID to run an ICS rom ???
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
I would say it is recommended. I've read other people having trouble flashing the firmware update when they don't have it

With the latest leaked ics ruu that's made into a custom Rom yes you would need super cid in order to flash the firmware for the custom rom to boot properly and run.

Wow. If you want to be an ass, go to MoDaCo. It was a simple question. Could have been answered with more respect. After all, he did put it in the Q & A section in the forum...

You took my words mate..
Also, i wanted to ask that my gingerbread sense 3.5 Rom lags a bit as compared to sense 3.0 and batery life is also good in3.0 as compared to 3.5--Is not doing Super CID the reason ?

I dont think so, the performance of Sense 3.5 isnt very good, so its normal that its slower than Sense 3.0

I was not trying to be an ass. So if i hurt your feelings i am sorry. Your question though could easily be answered just by simply searching the forums. It would have benefited you because you would have learnt yourself and its less clutter on the forum.
Take this post for example. He wants answers to a problem that has a whole guide telling him how to do it. He just hasn't bothered to search.
Again sorry for coming across as an ass.
Just as an extra bit of info for you. I am currently supercid and running the new firmware. The touchscreen recovery looks really good and Mikes ARHD 6.0.0 is running really smooth on my phone. No lags or fcs to date.

One Click?

Haven't done any research on this so sorry if old news or not applicable to our phone
But, they say can't hurt to try--well maybe not--at your own risk--

I used this to root a few weeks ago. Worked perfectly.
Hi,
I am just looking to fix my app associations by doing this http://www.androidcentral.com/how-restore-functionality-apple-v-htc-war-has-taken-away-root, will rooting via the one click method allow me to do this?
thanks
the oneclick method will root your phone, and that will allow you to modify those files
Thank you for the reply.

[Q] New to HTC One S

hello everybody! ive had a iphone for about 2 months now and couldnt take it anymore so i just bought a htc one s! i want to root it but i want to make sure i know everything that need to be done. i see the videos and the step by step processes but i have a few questions. every tutorial i see looks to be done on ics. i bought the phone and it was already on android 4.1.1. do the tutorials still apply? also when i plug my phone into my laptop it doesnt have the charge only/ sd mount (or whatever its says) like it does on ics version....it just says usb connected and wen i tap that it goes into hotspot and tethering options. it is a htc one s S4 so can someone please help me? thanks
You can still unlock boot loader the same way. To get s-off go through the development section till you find moonshine s-off
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
Ok now what exactly does s off do and do I have to do it in order to root?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
No you don'tHAVE to do it. All you have to do is unlock boot loader. S-off just allows you to flash whenever you want. If your s-on you have to flash the boot.IMG from the rom.zip through adb

Oh ok. So how do I go by rooting this thing when I'm on android 4.1.1
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
You can use hasoon2000's toolkit to unlock the boot loader then install a recovery
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
Ok ill give that a try

You don't necessarily have to s-off except for certain things. If you want to flash custom ROMs, can be accomplished even without S-Off

There are these ROMs TrickDroid and zenROM. Sense 5 based. Head over to the Development section you'll find them there. Read the requirements for flashing the ROMs. If it says S-Off is a must only then should you go for it. Otherwise no need.

It's not that difficult. Also try non-sense ROMs like CM 10.1, ILLUSION 2.0 by $droyd$ (very good and stable ROM), PACman ROM.
best of luck.
