I think it drains a lot out of my battery... Its un rooted... Can i root my status using the chacha method... Dont know if its the way so havent tried it... Got my status yesterday

Yes, you must go to htcdev.com and unlock the bootloader, afterwards flash CWM and install superuser. After all this, open up market and download Titanium Backup. You can remove the application/widget from there. Careful not to remove anything else without freezing/reading about it first.
Go to Themes & Apps section, there is a "Safe List" there (Deletable Stock-Applications) thread.

Do i use the the chacha since i dont see the Status on that list
Sent from my HTC Status using xda premium
what cwm do i use... it gets stuck on parsing when im trying to install one.. i unlocked the bootloader like u said on htcdev.com
What do you mean by "stuck on parsing"? Does it fail? Is the progress bar stuck? Some sort of error message?
Use goldcard method.
Alex, may I ask why it's necessary to install CWM? I used doomlords tool and didn't have to change the bootloader. I was able to remove fb chat without a problem.

Easier, faster, friendlier
And nandroid backups. Actually it's a remainder since I had to S-OFF (as 4 months ago there was no unlocked bootloader) and CWM was our best tool (doomlord wasn't supporting ChaCha even if the device was S-OFF'ed).
There are also adb commands that can be used.
i still have s-on... Does it matter that its the american version of the chacha aka status.... I need to remove these at&t apps... Asap...

I perma rooted my shift here, and installed ROM Manager. I wanted to backup my current stock rom+root just incase I f#*k something up, under flash recovery image i selected htc evo (cdma) (evo shift is not listed) it says successful but when i click backup current rom, it turns off and is stuck on htc screen...any suggestion??
by the way, i have busybox v1.17.1, updated via busybox app from market.
I don't think RM is supported on the shift yet...
OMG, Just read what you wrote. Um, you installed an evo recovery on your shift? That's not good.
ROM manager, and more importantly ClockworkMod are not yet supported on our device...
There are some versions that "work" -- I say that because they have issues, but have some functionality.
You need to flash your recovery manually with the one from the perma-root thread, using those steps.

If you can boot to recovery I'd recommend running the stock ruu from your computer...that should fix the problem but know it will wipe all data and return you to out of the box stock...you can find it in the development section in the perm root/recovery/stock ruu thread (or something like that not sure exactly what the thread is called)
Edit: ha sorry thats what its called on the android central forum...you can find it still in the development section as speedy ruu

Lol yeaa I have the ruu saved on my pc, question: after I install stock rom can I restore my sys data/apps (minus clockwork) without having problems? (Using titanium backup)
Also I dunno if anyone else is having problems with mobile data but once in a while I have to reboot to get 3g back.

i think you would probably have to root again since not sure you would be able to even access sys data/app without root but not 100% about that and i dont imagine it causing any trouble as long as you get rid of clockwork but again im really not sure at all so i dont wanna say with any certainty.....also i havent had any problems with mobile data so far

If I unlock my sensation's bootloader with the official process provided by HTC, what benefits do I get?
I understand I can install any ROM I want and that my warranty would be voided, but:
1) Do I get root access?
2) Can I uninstall unwanted bloatware?
3) Will I have any ROM issues?
4) Would my phone be less secure?
Thanks for your help!
1. You get root access, but to actually use it, a separate package containing the su binary and superuser needs to be flashed.
2. Yep, using Root Explorer (the easiest option IMO).
3. The only way you'll have ROM issues is by flashing a ROM, which is always going to be risky. But if you unlock the phone, but carry on using stock HTC Sense, no you shouldn't have any problems.
4. Depends what you mean by secure tbh. If you mean more likely to get viruses etc, no. But it's less secure by the fact that the security flag (S-OFF Security-OFF) is now off. However, if you use revolutionary.io (the unofficial unlocking process) you have more commands you can use and you have greater access to the actual innards of the phone.
Plus by using revolutionary.io, HTC do not actually know you have unlocked the phone. If you ever need to send it in for warranty repair, just reverse the revolutionary.io process and your warranty will not be voided (in HTC's eyes, at least).
What is the separate package to flash for root? I've tried a bunch and none of them work.
Flash THIS package to obtain superuser and the su binary. Flash through ClockWorkMod and remember to do a nandroid backup!
oh, I can't even get CWM to install. It just says error wrong version or something like that in the fastboot screen.

Have you tried ROM Manager? Give me the exact error fastboot/adb gives you, I *might* be able to help.
ROM manager won't work unless you are rooted. There error message is 'model ID incorrect' when trying to flash PG58IMG.zip.

so also being a noob. I can get revolutionary to see my phone and show my serial but when i put in the beta key, it states that it is an invalid key. Why would this be? any help would be great.

OK, I did, and it did not work. The script runs through correctly, and at the end, su is installed on the phone, but FCs when trying to launch. After a reboot, su is gone.
Fortunately it didn't brick the phone.

my datas are

steps:
1. Buttkick and Kill your phone-warrenty, by register and unlock your bootloader at
http://www.htcdev.com/
(even the device isnt in the "supported list" it still worked for me)
(if ur not familar with android development, it could take some time to DL and update everything (AndroidSDK, etc etc))
(PHONE WILL BE WIPED THEN; BACKUP/Save ur datas)
2. ZergRush it

*** unlocking bootloader from HTCDEV site is highly recommended for a permanent root solution***
1. enable usb debugging from settings - applications - development
2. plug phone to pc via usb cable - charge only
3. open extracted zip folder and click runme. thats all. (if experience any daemon hanging problems pls install htc sync and plug in phone so drivers are installed. once done delete htc sync and repeat root procedure)
PC will open a cmd screen with prompts that you need to follow. app does rest
4. After root is complete pls visit market and update SU app. once done root will be fully functional and eliminate any future FCs
5. Also as an extra tip you can install SU UPDATE fixer from market to update your binaries to 3.0
ALL DONE

3. After the phone has booted, you still cant see SuperUser in ur App list
But its installed ;P
how to fix that?
Go to the Market.
Search for the superuser app
You can see that you can "UPDATE" it.
do it.
Now everything is up2date and the app is in your applist again.
Root Done.
have fun
( System tuner, Titanium backup, LBE privacy guard, busy box, everything is working fine )
Of course it is working I have even updated my SuperUser to v3.0.7
We have root, and so what's next?
..I would say next step should be to apply for the HTC Android Rhyme Forum Section ..

Hi,
i was trying to downgrade my desire s with tacoroot,'cause zergrush give me some error messages on the command line....so,i followed all the procedure for the downgrade,'till i came across step 5..after i've done it,my desire rebooted...and still strucked on the "htc quietly brilliant" logo!it continue to bootloop!what i have to do to continue the procedure for the downgrade?my desire s have the 2.00.0002 hboot..and is s-on and unrooted..i was just starting to do all the stuff!
please help!:fingers-crossed:
When it's temp rooted, run the miscversion binary with adb and downgrade using the oldest RUU for your phone
the bootloop is normal.
My phone doesn't even start up , unless I go into the bootloader menu and press recovery . Instead of the recovery opening up , my phone goes into the GUI. I can't seem to flash a new recovery either, due to which I can't flash a new Rom. I have tried all possible solutions but just can't seem to figure it out. Plese help me !

It gets your device in the relocked state and I think thats what most users don't want if they're still on waranty
to be honast I would rather a working phone than one with warrenty especially since its not worth the paper its written on

If he is on gb he doesnt need to unlock, he can straight s-off it and retain his warranty, the guide to do that totally works. Unlocking is totally unnecessary and is just going the extra road to s-off.
Your post is only if someone who has upgraded to official ics and wans to s-off, which is not possible as the person first needs to unlock.

ok so you have tried to follow my guide above which bit are you having trouble with in flashing recovery?make sure you are selecting fastboot in the bootloader and that it should say usb try checking if the phone can be seen by using fastboot devices.
Hi everyone,
First I want to thank to this awesome community for all their enthuisasm and work.
I have a T-Mobile HTC one S with stock rom, with the latest update from T-mobile. I was wondering if there is a way to root my device without unlocking the bootloader(I know how to do it first by unlocking the bootloader, which is very easy thanks to the all-in-one kit.)
I have found a method which used to work before: One-click root, but I couldn't make it work on my device.(It used to work on htc one S devices according to some other users).
Thanks for any help.
Short answer, no.
The best thing you can do is S-OFFing, so you can restore your LOCKED status in bootloader.
Thanks for the answer. I am not worried about the LOCKED status in bootloader, I just don't want to clear my storage and then reinstall everything.
When you say no, do you mean that there is no such method right now, or that it is not possible anymore?
Because it seems that it was possible last year.
AFAIK (and as you read yourself) that method isn't working anymore...
On the other side unlocking the bootloader will factory reset your phone...
Maybe the best thing you can do is backup your apps with Titanium backup, Carbon or something like that.

Btw if your s off and run a RUU the bootloader status will be Unlocked bit with no tampered sign . It won't shoe locked . Just done this process about 2 hours ago .no glory as bootloader status unlocked
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe I cannot ise titanium backup without root. But I will check what I can do with Carbon.

With s-off you can reset your lock status flag, so that it will show LOCKED again. There's a guide about this , google for it.
Try to use Carbon (now renamed to helium), it's a very powerful app.

I used Helium without root, backed up almost all of my apps+user settings. Highly recommended.
Quick question, to receive OTA's again if I restore a Nandroid I need to relock the bootloader, correct?

Nope, no relocking needed. You need to have a ROM that can receive the OTAs (like Zen ROM) and official recovery for the OTAs to install correctly.

Hey all.
I don't want to open another thread so, I'll just ask here for a bit of help.
I've unlocked the bootloader for a One S of a friend of mine, following the steps on the website (HTC dev). In the final window it says that everything is OK, the phone starts fine. The only issue is that some how I can't boot the phone in FASTBOOT moede (power button + Vol Down) to move on the rooting process. The phone just starts in normal mode, no mater what am I keeping pressed.
Can anybody tell me what should I do in order to be able to enter the fastboot mode?
Thank you.
