You would be a lot better off reading the sticky posts in this forum and searching for the answers yourself. With the locked bootloader 2.00.0002 you have 2 options that could pursue.

Sorry I would not of made this topic if i understood this, I can you please explain the options please.
1) downgrade to an older version that is supported to S-OFF by Revolutionary via RUU
2) unlock your bootloader at htcdev.com, flash custom recovery then custom ROM, and finally its kernel separately
the words in ITALIC are the ones that you can search on, and know what they mean as well before starting doing anything to your phone

I was planning to install CM7.1, then realised that the update from HTC changed the HBOOT along with the Sense 3.0 update. But apparently the bootloader can be unlocked officially by HTC.
Question is, how do I install a custom ROM with this method? I'm assuming you need to install CWMR, which needs root. Then use that to flash the ROM. Can anyone who has used this method tell me exactly how it's done on the Desire S?
Help is really appreciated, thank you.

Search this forum please. The answer and procedure has already been documented for you.
Hi all, guys!
First of all I want to say thanks to all who get this great forum updated with ROMs, guides and tutorials! I've read all of the most interesting threads and I'm ready to put my hands on my Desire S I'm waiting!
I need only a little advice. The Desire S I'm waiting is branded by my national operator. No SIM lock or other, only some personalizations.
I think I'll debrand it at light speed, flashing an official ROM and then proceed to unlock it / root it.
And here I need ur advice: do you think it's better to flash an old official ROM to unlock and S-OFF with Revolutionary, or to flash the latest and unlock with the HTC tool?! What are the benefits to have S-Off / Unlock VS S-On / Unlock?
Thank you in advance!

If you unlock with HTCDev HTC may notice what you did to your phone. So there is a bigger chance of voiding your warranty.
Also if you s-off you will have much more possibilities for customizing your phone. And everything you do will be much more easy (flashing ROM, changing radio, kernel etc.)
So I would really recommend you not to use htcdev but to s-off your phone by yourself

Ditto.
But if this is the first time you're doing all this, i suggest a few days worth of reading about RUUs, CID, Goldcard, Misc_version, etc, before you contemplate changing branded phone firmware. You may not need it, but knowing this stuff is like having a condom - It's better to have one and not need it, rather that need one and not have it!
Thank u for replies!!!

LOOOL, u're definitively right (about condoms first!!!) !!!
As I said in my post I've read hundreds of posts and tutorials about goldcard and debranding, warranty, S-OFF and many others stuff.
I've downloaded the possible and the unpossible about Desire S!!! And I haven't the phone yet!!! LOOOOOL
Make sure you read the sticky thread in development section. It really helped me a lot when i started. As for roms to enjoy your mobile phone since its new i would suggest not to go to ics yet since some stuff are not functional. Go for 2.3.7 roms mostly. Welcome to Android side and hf.

Thank you nikolaaas.
I know ICS for Saga is not fully functional (yet?! ;D ;D) and a little buggy.
Hope developers may find better solutions when ICS will be official for Saga!
In my case I'd like first of all to debrand my phone and then try some custom ROM (I've read great things about MIUI or Runnymede based ROMS).
By the way I'm not really new in Android experience. As you can see in my signature, thank to great people, I use Android 2.3 in my reallllllly old Polaris since 2 years (with some problems, obviously, but nothing really bad!)! I think that these are the things that make great Android and this group of developers!!!!
Thanks!!!
Hi, I've been browsing through XDA for a long time now only now have I created an account
since most of my questions are being ask by others, likewise, answered by others.
I would just like to personally ask (Questions bugging me for some time now)
My HBOOT is 1.29, can I use JB method for S-OFF? Is the wire trick really safe?
I'm running on ARHD 6.7.1 with 3.33.401 firmware but with a 11.69A radio, since I cannot yet update my firmware should I revert back to 6.6.X?

Hi
Check my signature (A great starting point etc) for a variety of methods to s-off
Take a particular look at ganesh and kgs
You do not need to change ROMS to do it.

I have Android version 4.0.4. S-ON and hboot 2.02.002. I want to root the device and use a custom ROM. As I understand from forum the first thing I have to do is to downgrade the hboot to 0.98.
Is it possible for me to downgrade, root etc? Could you post the link to the easiest solution (I really confused by tonnes of info).
