First of all, You should use search, as this topic (rooting) is covered very well in here.
Second thing is, that You should provide more info like - is bootloader locked? what's hboot version?
Few threads below we have helped a man with similiar problem, so maybe You should follow his steps.
See... You need to educate Yourself a bit more, so I strongly recommend reading all the 'stickies' first and doing some search.
It is too early for spoon feeding.
Good luck.

Then turn debug on and run the RUU. And follow the instruction from the RUU install.

You know you aren't considering misc version and possible a goldcard right...?
And you also know you gave the link to the Desire RUU's which is a sure way for him to screw up his phone. Here's the thread you looking for.
So I say again, either downgrade (I can almost guarantee that his misc will be 2. something) or use HTCdev.
Make a goldcard to be safe....

WTF?!!
Man, are you trying to help him, of **** his phone up?!
If you can't do good for someone, at least refrain from harming them. That bloody link takes you to the Desire (not Desire S) thread. Get your facts right before acting like a "know-it-all" and running amok mouthing nonsense around here. Your "guide" and "procedure" are crap, and will most likely end up screwing the poor OP's phone! Do you even know what Misc_version and CID checks are when installing an RUU? Do you know that the Desire S and the Desire are different devices entirely? C'mon man, i don't usually do this, but you make flaming look justified!
@the OP, just follow fox2delta's advice. He's actually got a head between his shoulders, rather than his ass (unlike your self-declared saviour)

I have to say I completely agree, this is asked in these forums like 10+ times a day, not searching first is a little lazy
Anyway, as mentioned previously you need to unlock your bootloader at HTCDev and then use superoneclick and you'll root your phone. then use the search button to find how to install a custom rom. (I asked for help if you care to have a look in the Q&A and the lovely members were kind enough to give a very very easy to follow step by step instructions)

Then you either didn't make the card correctly or the memory card selected just didn't play nice. Goldcards are very good thing to keep for the average Joe who doesn't know if the phone is branded (or does know) or don't know what they are doing.

[Q] Returning to s-on gone bad!

Hi there guys,
I have tried to s-on my phone using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1187231. The phone was s-off with alpharev before. My Setup is in my sign:
Everything was fine untill I got to the flash RUU part.
The Ruu i want to flash is RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release
At about 10% or so it stops and says something about a error 170. Then nothing..
Now my phone is stuck in this bootloader:
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL (The good thing is that it is s-on now :Op)
HBOOT-0.98.0000
RADIO-3805.06.02.03_M
eMMC-boot
I cant do anything from here, what ever I do it just reboots and gives me the same bootloader screen.
I have tried to run the RUU.exe like 3 times now, and no luck.
Really hope someone can help me with this one, Im in a bit of a pickle!
Regards,
Safi
hmm... after posting this I tryed to run this RUU:
RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed
And i think it fixed things.. ill report back..
if "eMMC-boot" thats good sign.
hm... Got the phone running again, but im not able to update to the news sense OTA, so ill see if i can get it in another way..
Mods please move this thread to the Q&A section.

You may know this already, but the MOD's never really read this forum the only was to get an action is to either PM them (smokestack76) or use the report button which is at the top right corner (triangle with exclamation mark) of each post when viewed in thread mode...this will enable you to fill in a report which is always acted on!
I know m8, it was just a reply to Skanob. Was a bit wierd out by his silly post. And I still got some problems with the phone, but the main thing is fixed, and I can use it.

[Q] can someone help me?

i just bought a sensation, and now i'm a previous HD2 owner. so i'm not a noob, i hope.
so...unlocking bootloader and rooting and s-Off...which one to follow? the official on hTCDev website or the revolutionary way?! any difference between those?
please someone clarify some things, as i just became a sensation user, i have no idea about anything of these since HD2 is way different as i noticed and since there are a lot of info on the net, i don't wanna get into things i shouldn't.
i got a second hand sensation but it's still on factory default with android 2.3.4 and sense 3.0
really any help is greatly appreciated
If your HBOOT is supported by Revolutionary ALWAYS use that one...
I dont like HTCdev - It should only be used if your HBOOT is unsupported
Just have a good read through all the noob guides. Be sure of what you're doing before attempting anything...
I cant stress how important it is to follow the guides 100%

no really i searched like two hours and on youtube but i couldn't know what's the difference between the official tool and the one called revolutionary...why you felt sarcasm in my words is beyond me...sorry anyway...
haha maybe its just me..
Anyway, Revolutionary IS THEE best tool for S-OFF... providing your HBOOT is supported of course. Did you check to see if its supported ?
if you got hboot 1.18.0000 please use revolutionary method to unlock your boot loader. If you unlock your bootloader with htcdev method you will unlock somd parts of the hboot. not every thing. then you cant flash a custom kernel because it already locked boot.img and cant write a new file over it. thne you will get wifi,bluetooth problems. so unlock your bootloader with revolutionary.

How to root mytouch 4g Slide NEW hboot

Well Im going to quickly explain my way I rooted the new hboot (NOT S-OFF)
In all my time trying all methods I found a couple that did things for me.
First was the all in one kit http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-mytouch-4g-slide-amaze-4g-rezound-and-vivid/
this I used to unlock boot loader and have a recovery img
but it didnt want to root my phone. So i tried other things like the bear wire method which i wouldnt rec. and came across a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508556&page=3 that said "how to flash ics with s-on" and it was pretty simple so i tried it and it flashed a ics rom and when I went into the it was rooted! Su granted and all.
With that said I hope this can help people who want a little change until a s-off method comes about but this is a whole lot to work with for now.
Thanks to everyone and I hope this helps.
I have :
Doubleshot pvt ship s-on rl
hboot- 1.45.0013

Cool, thanks!
Unlocking through htcdev and then installing recovery and superuser.apk will give you root permissions....not hard to root anymore. If you want s-off it is a bit more tricky but even with s-on you can flash roms just have to do kernel seperately

For me, the first couple times I tried it the response was always something different (from it saying things like "couldn't find bar" to "connect device" even though it was connected). I asked around a little but since it was still kind of experimental there was no definite answer for much of anything. When I got ver 0.4 a few of the same errors happened but not as much. For some reason I found that restarting my computer and then running the program worked. Every time I did it went further in the ControlBear program, then finally when I did the wire trick the phone rebooted but not into fastboot, it just stayed at the boot animation logo while the program finished its work. I think the results vary for everyone...My SD card did crash but I was able to restore it with the info Indirect posted. It was an extra card tho, I keep them laying around.
Ok so heres the link. I still have it ---> Ver 0.4

Good day, and welcome to XDA!
What is the OS on your PC? Windows, Mac, Linux, or something else? Which drivers have you tried? I had good luck in the past with the adbsetup package, but your mileage may vary.
Hope this provides a good start.

if so then what guide should i follow??
iv been reading this thread for a while now..

What exactly are you trying to do? You never need to flash a radio or HBOOT unless you want to.

That begs a witty reply, but I'll supress the urge...
You don't need to flash another HBOOT unless you want to flash another ROM that requires a different HBOOT version. Some (as they say) 'Re-engineered' HBOOTS also don't allow Fastboot commands, keep that in mind when deciding on one. Some programs such as 'Android Flasher' say they require an ENG HBOOT to work etc... Once again it comes down to what YOU want as dan fish mentioned.

i see so i dont need to flash and hboot??? are you sure some command's wont work???
but there are many threads saying its better to flash eng hboot...than revolutionary??
Yes, they say it's better according to THEIR needs. Do some research on just what different HBOOTS including the Eng one can accomplish, then decide if you really need to change. And yes, some HBOOTS do not accept Fastboot commands after you've flashed them.
Just relax, ignore the hype[excited opinions], analyze facts and then decide.
Do not go mindlessly flashing stuff just because ppl say it's bettah...
haha thx maybe i need more knowledge about hboot and radios
ill just stay here and read more hahah thx again ^_^
but ill still wait for other's opinion though
guys if someone is there any opinion??
i need extra knowledge about this
thx

when you downgrade your hboot you can use revolutionary for s-off...i think
Okey, but I mean, is the phone the same after the process? Or does anything change(for an example, does the operative system change it something?).
Thanks for answering I really appreciate it

You won't see any changes. I believe the updated HBOOT changed the size of certain partitions. Shouldn't affect you by downgrading
Aha, okey thanks!

Just got S-OFF now on my HTC one XL Woohoo and excited that its gonna be my first development thread
Thats not a new idea but its a solution for those guys who having problem when they type "adb shell" and get screen displaying "[email protected]:\#" and they cant go further because of it and cant get their supercid.
U gonna need:
a) u need ROM Toolbox Lite to installed in your phone, if u have extra money , u can buy pro version but there is no need of it [play store link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox&hl=en]
b) Phone has to be rooted (if your phone has SuperCID on already you can skip steps 1-3)
so:
1. Boot to recovery TWRP and go to the file manager and go to /dev/block/... copy mmcblk0p4 your sd-card
2. Copy mmcblk0p4 to your computer
3. Open the file (mmcblk0p4) with your hex editor.
4. Look for offset 00000210 (if your on RUU version 1.82 the offset may be 00000214) and you should see your cid number [mine was rogers001] with your IMEI number attached to it.
5. Change rogers001 [or whatever ur cid number is] to 11111111 and save the file as mmcblk0p4MOD. This will give you SuperCID as well. MAKE SURE AT THIS POINT THAT THE FILE IS THE EXACT SIZE IT WAS BEFORE YOU HEX EDITED IT!
6.Now, save that mmcblk0p4MOD file to your sdcard [not in any folder].
7. Now open ur ROM Toolbox Lite and go to open TERMINAL EMULATOR
8. Type adb shell and hit enter , its gonna give u no device found error but dont worry about it.
9. Then type "su" and hit enter again. This will put you back into the android shell and give you root privileges.
10. Type "dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p4MOD of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4" and hit enter.
11. To test if it worked restart the phone into fastboot and once the bootloader screen comes up type "fastboot oem readcid" and hit enter. It should read "11111111".
12. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071 & Followed instructions 1-9 (Note- even my model id showed PJ8310000 but PJ8312000-OneX.zip works)
13. Should have S-OFF
That is what worked for my HTC One X Rogers!!!
I will try it soon. I have a Rogers as well and have been trying to s-off for months with no success.

but, how does this differ from the all in one toolkit or facepalm?

This isn't for s-off. Thus is to help people achieve supercid if they are having trouble with it.

I was trying to help you on another thread. Glad to see you figured out a solution.
But as this thread does not contain any original work that you developed, it will likely be removed from Development, and into General.
but thanx for your time

You realize not everyone buys their phones at the same time, right?
Maybe these guys have only recently gotten this phone. It's great that you got s-off early but this ain't a pissing contest.

Good work. Since this is more of a guide and not really development, Im going to move this to the General section. Thanks for putting this together.

I was helping the OP, and if I remember correctly, he just got the phone. Yes, carrier doesn't matter. But the error message he was getting in adb, I was not familiar with, and neither was another experienced "helper" here. He found a solution himself (which I applaud) and decided to post it here. So what is the issue with that? Aside from the fact this doesn't belong in Development (and I see its just been moved). There are also a significant number of people still coming here every day, asking about s-off.
I didn't say I had I problem with the information posted I was just curious why people from rogers couldn't achieve s-off sorry if you took offence to my post they were not ment to be rude or disrespectful

What Redpoint said. Plus, this is actually a solution to a problem during the SuperCID process, not the s-off process. Yeah all it usually takes is some research but that's irrelevant if you run into an issue that nobody has seen before (and therefore there is no published fix). That is exactly what this guide is addressing, and I too applaud the OP for finding a way around this unique problem and sharing it with the community.

I never said or implied you were being rude or disrespectful, so no need to apologize. People are allowed to disagree or discuss different viewpoints here.
It says right in the OP what his issue with getting s-off (actually SuperCID, as timmaaa clarified) was: he was getting the message "[email protected]:\#" from adb, and would not let him progress any further.
As timmaaa mentioned, not everyone encounters the same things when trying to mod their phones. I can name quite a few times on various devices, where I followed the XDA instructions to a tee, and something happened that wasn't "supposed" to (phone froze, had to pull battery, etc.).
Hello! I need some help here.Probably not the right place,sorry about that!
My problem is that I'm s-on,and it's seems that I can't do the supercid what is the first step for Facepalm process.
I red a lot about this topic, everything what I have found.
It appears that I got the hboot 2.15 version with Jb ota Update ,because of this the mmcblk0p4 file is write protected... so the cid overwrite is undone.
Tried on ViperOneS 1.2.1 - 2.2.0,on Tricktroid 7-9.1 and on Jb Stock also.The adb ,the termal emulaton on phone ,hex editing works well.
This is my hboot:
*** TEMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.15.0000
RADIO-1.11.50.05.28
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815
eMM-boot
Dec 14 2012,17:10:57:-1
My cid is Tim--401 so not Moonshine s-off compatibile.
Is exist any other method to gain S-off? or the only solution is riff/jtag?
I red the folowing treads about supercid:

Yeah unfortunately because of the write protection there is no method that'll work for you. I guess jtag is your only solution.
