Although the thread mentions Revolutionary, here are the step and instructions you are looking for. They will also worked when you unlock the HTC bootloader

I followed the guide but I get
FAILED (remote not allowed) after flashing the img file.
I am S-OFF on xtc clip and hboot 0.98.0002

After s-off with xtc clip use SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse.zip to root your phone (you will need adb drivers) ,then install Clockworkmod from android market .... afther that put .zip of your castum ROM on sd card... but Clockworkmod (vol down + Power ,choose recovery ) ....
Hi, superoneclick does not work.
Freezes.
I am on 2.3.3 GB maybe thats the problem?
Do you check adb drivers ,and connection with pc ???
Send me a screenshot
You can also use this it will root the phone for you
Ok, worked !!
The phone was in fastboot, must be in normal USB mode and then start the superclick .exe on the PC.
Phone is now rooted and superuser acces.
Now upgrade to 2.3.5 sense 3.0 Gingerbread.
First i will install 4EXT recovery + make nandroid back-up !

I assume that you know to not update OTA - you will loose the root this way and have a bootloop - see here Flash a prerooted ROM

Good you told me , almost forgot !!!!
Looking for a prerooted ROM close to 2.3.5 sense 3.0 GB.
Can you advise one ?
Leave hboot at 0.98.0002 or go to new ENGboot ?
grts
I would just leave the hboot alone. As for a ROM look around the development section, see what you like. They're all pretty stable.

Would recommend that you put 98.2 ENG bootloader on, safer for future

If you're rooted then you're s-off'd then I recommend that you stay away from OTA's if you want better software go for a custom rom.

You can fallback to S-ON, and then OTA update then S-OFF and Root again.
You can follow my diagram below in order to fallback to S-ON.

I don't suggest doing an OTA update it only screws the Stock ROM, I did mine and it had Hell Battery Drain.. so I decided to S-OFF and ROOT mine
When you are S-OFF and install other ROM, you can't install an official ROM via OTA.
If the ROM installed is OTA updateable, you can download it from: Rom Manager app from Market.
I've just a question about the passage from the state SHIP S-OFF 6.98.1002 to SHIP S-ON 0.98.000x: since it is necessary to use RUU, does the phone get wiped? What if I use Linux?

In this case you can download RUU in ZIP format, rename it to PG88IMG.zip, copy to SD card and reboot your phone to bootloader to flash.
You can find RUU in zip format here:
http://goo-inside.me/ruu/saga/full
BTW you have to switch your hboot to ENG S-OFF 0.98.2000 first.
(see my diagram above)
I am a bit puzzled... So is it possible to s-on again (to ota update ofcourse) without full wipe?? I truely hate backup/restore in gigabyte era...

According to my diagram above, you will fallback to s-on by executing RUU file, and this will do full wipe ofcourse.
I'm not sure if we can flash S-ON hboot over hboot ENG S-OFF 0.98.2000 by fastboot or adb command or not.
Hi. Thanks for the answer. All pretty much clear now...
Hi,
Sorry to hijack this thread but I'm not sure what (if anything) I would need to do to get this official ROM and ideally rooted when available.
I am currently S-Off via XTC Clip and rooted, my H-Boot details are: 0.98.002.
From previous experience I cannot do an OTA update but in any event need root.
Sorry to be stupid but any ideas what I would need to do when a rooted version of the update becomes available.
Many thanks,
Damian
i have unlocked my phone using htcdev.com, rooted it and then have i tried to install the ota ics but this didnt work *facepalm* (it is stuck at the htc bootscreen) so i tried to install a gb rom so that everything should work but my /recovery is still s-on. so what do i have to do to get my /recovery to s-off so that i can install a rom?
bootloader says:
***UNLOCKED***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL

You are one of many in a sad bunch of people.
So many things wrong in what you just said.
"i have unlocked my phone using htcdev.com" - bad choice.
"rooted it" - how ?
"S-ON" - so, not able to flash anything.
"my /recovery is still s-on" - does not make sense at all.
What you should have done:
First - tried the Revolutionary tool
Second - Taco root, get temp root
Third - tried the Revolutionary tool again
Forth - flashed custom recovery, flashed su-binary to get su access
but i cant use adb it isnt working and i dont know why, so how do i use taco root?
There's an RUU that, if I'm not mistaken, will rest everything back to HBoot 1.17 with S-On and the bootloader locked. You would then be be able to use revolutionary to unlock the bootloader and proceed with rooting the right way.
But I'm not sure if you can do that when you're S-On.
Can someone else chime on if I'm on the right track?

Get a pimply teenager to do it for you.
everything is done for me: flashed another recovery
for those who are still searching to fix this problem: install fastboot, search for 4ext recovery, download the .img, put it in the folder where your fastboot.exe is placed, use cmd: cd <the folder where fastboot.exe is placed>, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and start bootlaoder -> recovery, then you have just to install a gb rom, this should solve the problem

This thread is a good lesson in life.
Does everyone see what Azyrael did? He solved his problem without out help....but then he came back here anyway to post the results and the solution.
This is how it should always be done! You get a thanks just for coming back.
It makes everyone's life better and avoids this...

Hi,
I tried to flash RUU rom into my phone (DESIRE S).
I followed the instruction in the "How to S-ON the HTC Desire S, Unroot, remove Revolutionary and Clockwork Mod recovery" thread.
Apparently I tried to flash wrong RUU.
The flashing stopped in the middle and I get error massage that the version not matches my phone.
However my HBOOT change to version 2.00.0002 and he's locked and S-ON.
I unlock my phone with HTC tool HTCDEV. I flash CWM recovery and restored the previous ROM.
I tried to flash deferent RUU, this time I check my phone (from India) and find the right version, but I get another error massage.
RUU I tried to flash:
RUU_Saga_S_hTC_Asia_India_2.15.720.3_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_226809_signed.exe
I think my HBOOT is the problem.
My HBOOT:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT 2.00.0002
RADIO-382.10.08.04_M
Emmc-boot
Aug 22 2011,15:22:13
Which HBOOT image I need to flash, to flashing the RUU?
Thanks!
Before flashing another RUU, use misc_version script to "downgrade" your phone's main version.
It needs root.
can't get ROOT
Thanks for your answer
I solved this problem before I see your answer – I relock my HBOOT and run RUU exe file.
But now I have other problem:
I can't ROOT my phone
I tried 3 deferent methods:
[EXPLOIT] [26.04.2011][v1.2] GingerBreak APK (root for GingerBread)
[EXPLOIT]SuperOneClick v2.1.1 (Finally fixed!)
[EXPLOIT] Revolutionary - zergRush local root 2.2/2.3 | revolutionary root exploit
superOneClick – stuck in step 7 "WaitForDevice"
How can I get ROOT?
Thanks!
Downgrade or unlock the bootloader. The guides for both of those are in big INDEX thread.
u dnt need to downgrade
just unlock with ur unlock.bin code
then root with SuperOneClick
am sure of this steps cos am on stock and dat was d process i uesed
cheers

I know that for many people on XDA, English isn't their first language - but most of them try or use Google translate. This is either a prime example of the good 1st World education system or just someone who thinks they are going to sound cool.

I have unlocked the phone using htcdev and it is hboot 2.02.002 s-on. I am trying to downgrade to 0.98.. using the zergRush method mentioned here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399331
I can't get this to work and have seemed to have tried everything. When i try to run zergRush I get the following error
"link_image[1913]: 3985 missing essential tablesCANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE"

Any help is very much appreciated before I finally go mental
Zergrush doesn't work with ICS.
According to what I've seen posted here, your only option to get root on ICS is to unlock your bootloader via htcdev -- unless you can find another exploit that works
Edit: wait a second, you already unlocked the bootloader. Then all you need to do is flash a custom recovery and from there you can run misc_version to allow you to downgrade your hboot. Then you can run an old RUU that has hboot 0.98 and then you can use revolutionary. You don't need temproot, you already have fastboot access!

I have TWRP recovery set up and have just tried misc_version and got the following:
--set_version set. VERSION will be changed to: 1.27.405.6
Patching and backing up partition 17...
Error opening input file.
image attached again thanks for help
UPDATE: I tried going into adb shell and changing to su then misc_version (see newer screen shot) what do I do now? I have an older ruu...
Created the goldcard again and it sorted the problem I was having with the version number not being correct!
Feel a bit like Andy Murray right now
Thanks for the help
Hi, I have a problem and if anyone can help me.

How could you possibly be hboot 2.16 AND S-On? 2.16 was not official so you should have been S-Off to upgrade to it. You lost your S-Off after upgrading hboot?
Anyway, you should be able to see phone in fastboot mode and be able to flash a recovery regardless of your S-On/S-Off state. If you can't flash a recovery, that means your bootloader is locked and you'll have to follow the procedure for unlocking it via HTC Dev site. If you can't see the phone in fastboot, that means your fastboot drivers are not properly installed

OK, you might have upgraded to 2.16 via RUU. Anyway, there says RELOCKED...that means you'r bootloader is NOT unlocked therefore you cannot write any recovery. Follow the instructions for unlocking bootloader on HTC Dev site then flash latest TWRP recovery. Then you can flash any ROM, make S-Off and so on
