Desire S how to S-OFF and Root ?!?

Hello!
I want to root my Desire S with official rom 2.3.5
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
Radio - 3822.10.08.04_M

My question - any solution for rooting and S-OFF for my Desire? I tray everething (UnlockRoot, SuperOneClick...), but no results Please help...

i think you must be s-off with revolutionary before root

to use revolutionary, you'll have to downgrade your hboot.

But I think you can get around that by using the HTC Dev website to s-off. I've never used HTC dev before so maybe someone else can shed some light on that

Is it possible to get S-OFF without downgrading my HBOOT?

Yes as I mentioned before with htcdev but I'm not sure on how it works. Maybe someone else can help with that

I used manuals from HTC DEV site to unlock bootloader. After successful unlocking I used this instructions

Now, I have rooted my Desire S!!! But... ALL THINGS from my phone is deleted
My HBOOT is still 2.00.0002
Any solution to change S-ON to S-OFF?

I don't think its necessary to have s-off but when you flash a rom, you'll have to flash the boot.img as well.
I'm not sure why you lost everything though

Htcdev can unlock your bootloader but it won't s off.
To s off you'd need to downgrade hboot n use revolutionary.
Read up on the forum your question has been answered many many times

sadsac is correct, htcdev can only unlock your bootloader, nothing more. But you will need for other steps to get mobile s-off and root.
In my case, I also had got HBOOT 2.00.0002 and revolutionary do not like it, so i had to downgrade:

[Q] Can I still get S-OFF after taking the 1.43 and 1.50 OTAs

Hi I currently have a unupdated T-mobile Sensation, I have never taken any OTA updates.
If I take the 1.43 and 1.50 updates can I still use Revolutionary IO to get S-Off? I understand the 1.50 updates includes a new H-Boot which Revolutionary IO can't unlock - but is it possible to go from the 1.50 update back to an older RUU (and the original H-Boot of 1.17)?
Thank you for answering my question.

I would recommend you s off before you do any ota updates. For sure Revolutionary supports h boot 1.17, which is what you should have. I am not sure if Revolutionary supports 1.18 h boot.
Read the guides stickied at the top of the development forum so you don't screw up your phone.
In regard to you question no it would not be possible.

Thanks I think I will just keep it as is right now until CM9 or a complete AOSP rom is released.

Yes it supports HBOOT 1.18.0000 and it has done since it was released

EddyOS is right. It does support 1.18.0000. I managed to s-off my branded O2 sensation when I got it back from repair. It was also on 1.50.xxx, I restored it to the STOCK 1.50.401.1 (unbranded) Went back to S-ON and have just recently S-off'd again.
So.... Yes you can =)

so the t-mobile usa 1.50.531.1 update did not update the hboot past 1.18? i thought it was hboot 1.27?

S off before updating to h boot 1.27, revolutionary doesn't support it.

Original 1.73.206.3 GB Sensation XE Rom

Hello Developers, I have on updating my UK O2 Branded Sensation XE debranded and backed up the original image via backup and recovery.
Does anyone know or want the files / image so to pass on to the less fortunate of us who didnt backup there system and need the original O2 Stock ROM.
If there are developers can can utilise this please advise what files i need to look for and zip up for you to play with etc.
regards

Definitely worth posting seeing as there isn't an RUU around

I want to go back. Please post . You need to go to into yiur sd, and then clockwork/backups and there should be a backup ffolder. Put that into a zip and upload.

Why do you need it? You're not on o2 or in the UK

Hold on - you got the phone on Orange, are saying it runs nice with the Vodafone ROM but you want the o2 one??? How does ANY of that make sense??
Just get the 1.50.401.1 RUU (or 1.73.401.4 if you have an XE) and flash that - SO much easier

So where's the unbranded backup then?

You don't need a backup - get the RUU!!

Because you are S-ON you can't flash a lower software version, only higher and the same. And can you please just pick a thread to post on and stick to that thread, I'm having to read through your posts in 5 different threads and its starting to get annoying, hence why one of xda rules is don't double post

To get S-Off from HBoot 1.27 you have to downgrade first to 1.17.
I never did it so I can't tell you how. I just know it's relatively easy and there's a guide for it around here somewhere if you search for it.

Since your S off , and rooted I believe you can update your firmware to ICS firmware which is 3.32 or Newest 3.33, download a good custom recovery like 4ext. Recovery and then you should be able to download the ICS rom of your choice. Just make sure the firmware is matching. Read installation of custom roms. Follow those instructions. Make sure you have what's needed. Such as recovery, firmware ect
