what's this?
i purchased in november 2011...

Read read read read read before u try anything. Just fyi. Learn about what you doing and what it does to your phone. Learn how to recover and backup. Jumping into this game isn't easy. And could brick your phone. But for starters you need to check here revolutionary.io to unlock, root, and install recovery. Also get S-OFF aka security off. Aka locked boot loader.

As RANDYRKELLY says: First thing is to read carefully, understand and learn. Search this forum for everything about rooting, s-off and flushing ROMS. There are great step-by-step how-to's in here, so that there's no need to explain it once more in a separate thread.
You should start here for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

Yes, it is said to read well and understand that you want to do and unlock the boot with better revolutionary than http://htcdev.com/, good luck

Do not use the htc unlock. Will not give you read write state. U need to use revolutionary cause it roots, unlock boot loader, and installs recovery. Please don't miss lead him.

I said that after http://htcdev.com/ will not be able to flash custom kernel, and unlock a better revolutionary

your best bet is to stick to xda it has everything you need to root and flash whatever you want there are alot of threads that will explain what root off is and how to get it. it will aslo explain how to flash roms, and what that is good luck you can always post here in the q&a with any problems you have

thanks randy & kaym....
anyways its S-off...

Actually, your the one misleading people, revolutionary doesnt actually root a phone, it just gives an unlocked bootloader. Installing superuser from market is what gives apps root and a line in the build.prop file gives the user root permissions

Desire S HBOOT 2.00 to 0.98

Hi,
I m new here but have been following threads about downgrading the desire s hboot from 2.00 to 0.98. I have been trying many instructions given on this forum but none did work. My desire s is has an unlocked bootloader by the HTCDev tool provided by htc. can someone direct me to a good thread about this topic please? Also how do you find the correct RUU for your device?

You can find a list of RUU in the index thread. RUU depends on the region or carrier you bought it from. So choose RUU carefully to avoid consequence ahead.

I did everything to the letter as your sig says but the HBOOT remained 2.00
the RUU i used is the RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed.exe one. Since i'm in europe and my htc is not branded. Thanks for your reply, this is as closest as i got so far.

Next time before following a guide check some of the comments. At page 10 there was a guy making the same mistake as you do. The solution is there as well

Do not flash the European rom!! see in the RUU thread which one has the same number as your current at the third set of numbers (example 2.1.401.8) and install it.

Ok I think that you have a leaked development device. Maybe you got it cheap but there is a chance that some things may not work the same way as our market phones. But I am sure the chance is not so big.
Now you have to find out what version is your phone and use a RUU to put a not watermarked software on it.
To do that you have to setup adb and fastboot (link in my signature). Then you have to enable USB Debugging option in the Developer's settings, connect the phone to the PC, open command prompt and type the following commands:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot getvar version-main
fastboot getvar cidnum
Note: after the first adb command the phone will restart and you should see "FASTBOOT USB" written on a white background along some other options before proceeding with the fastboot commandsx.
Then post the output of the fastboot commands here (the first should be a number like 2.10.401.5, the second looks like HTC__001 or VODAxxxx or TMOBxxxx, or something similar, 8 characters in total.
Also post here the words on the top of the white screen that should look like this:
Code:
***LOCKED***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
Hboot – 2.00.0002
Radio – 3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
When you provide this information I will give you a link to a file that you will start on your PC and it will put a normal, not watermarked software on your phone. During this process you will lose all your data as apps, contacts, SMS and calendar events, so keep this in mind and make backups (use your Google account or backup apps from the Play Store.

Did you try to unlock bootloader using htcdev.com? And also, did you try using that All in one tool kit for the one x.

Yep , I tried through htcdev.com but it failed (error 106 or error 16 , I don't remember) . All in one tool kit also failed (newest version of AIO, 7/2013) .My fone is new one
I'm dont know how it has hboot 2.14. But, I can't update via OTA (I think it needs AT&T account that I dont have, because I'm outside US) then I tried to update by Rom installer on HTC.com ( 3/2013, AT&T annouced Htc one X can be update to Jelly Bean, and it provides me an official link on HTC.com) but also failed.

Ok this guy ^^^ is right.
1) Download the all-in-one kit by hasoon2000 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426
2) Make sure you have the correct HTC drivers installed.
3) Open the toolkit and run step 2b. Motochopper (3.18). Keep in mind you need USB debugging mode on and the fast boot option in your phone's settings off.
4) Run the Get Token ID step in the toolkit.
5) Copy your ID from the command prompt and then go to htcdev.com, register, and then follow the steps provided by HTC to unlock your bootloader.
Pretty straightforward but sometimes it just helps when someone spells it out for you.

Is there a reason you wanna root the phone? Or you just doing it because it can be done? It's really a simple process. I'd read more before trying, the answers u have been given are more than is even needed to get it done. Some people really shouldn't root their device. That's why they come locked. So people without the knowledge or skill set dont trash the phone. If you read redpoints tutorial it has everything you need. He spent a lot of time making it so newbs could get it done without being spoon fed. Read it twice, and by read I don't mean skim looking for the section u think you need. And if you are still unsure read it again. It's crazy the amount of people who ask the same questions over and over again because reading and learning on your own is too time consuming.
Ok I'm better after venting a little lol
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium

If the phone is refurbished (which most probably is, like mine when was replaced due to a cracked screen), the bootloader cannot get unlocked. I have this as an official HTC reply. The reason is there is a mismatch between the phone's IMEI and serial number of the device and their serverscannot cope with that, resulting in the wrong token being generated
