I am going to see if mr. root can help. I haven't tried your tools yet... anything I need to know before i do?
Well mr root is highly based off revolutionary's code, just tweaked to my liking....so I I doubt it will say you compaitable.....however a try won't hurt. ..but if not ill start work on a downgrade tool
Just says my bootloader is not compatable... Downgrading would be great.... I tried flashing a recovery file to backdoor it but came back as " older than current" and stopped...

not much helpful, but on htc g2 in a similar situation, when root was done, next step was to push some changes to the partition where the Version number was stored. After that downgrading was possible the way you tried, and after that the S-Off tool worked. But as of now, i think there's no information how to cheat the version in the partition which it contains, or even which that partition is. Or maybe someone already knows this?
Then maybe we try a dd if= command on the right partition to overwrite it?
I'm not sure how you got this to work, because nobody else with the OTA has...
However, if you've gotten it to work, you can root just by flashing a superuser image from: http://androidsu.com/superuser/
You won't have S-Off, but I'm not sure of the appeal of S-Off, to be honest. The only thing you can't do with the HTC tool is flash radio files and the like.
I only tried by placing the pdsumthin.zip on SD card and it wouldn't allow it...
Theoretically an unlocked bootloader should allow that... Even if s-on

Your bootloader is still locked.
EDIT: in the unlikely event it is unlocked, you'll need to flash a custom recovery before flashing root. There's a guide somewhere on xda that explains all this.
Bootlader even says unlocked at the top... So I am free there...

You found nothing. We've known about this for a while now and is "officially" (HTC) sanctioned, hence it being THEIR WEBSITE AND INSTRUCTIONS.
Now find yourself a nice recovery image (CWM), boot phone into fastboot mode, "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
When this is done (don't ask how, the instructions on doing this are EVERYWHERE, including google's dev site -- you can figure it out yourself with google....), you will have a free and open recovery image, and can use that to write/install the su binary and apk (either with flashable zip or through adb shell, either will work).
There is NO NEED for any kind of downgrade.
Edit: And do change your avatar... this is a hacker site, not a sex dating site. Nobody here is interested in seeing that.
Well... No one has been able to unlock it as of when I posted... It was failing... I will try flashing with fastboot... As long as I can use titanium afterwards, s-off isn't that important
Why is the 4gs community so on edge? No one was ever this rude with 4G or any other HTC forum

I don't believe that's correct. I believe the issue is that the official HTC Bootloader Unlock process will not work -- and here's the key factor -- on devices that have already used the Revolution S-OFF procedure. I'm absolutely certain that people before you (who had not used Revolutionary) have successfully unlocked their bootloader via HTC's walkthrough.

Maybe it's because...
You created two threads that have nothing to do with doubleshot development
You didn't even check the General forum to see if there was an active thread about this (there is)
You can't even follow the rooting instructions posted in a thread on this very subject
As dhkr234 points out, all you need to do is flash the recovery zip and then flash the superuser zip. Just please try that. And then change your avatar.
HebrewToYou: I don't believe that's correct. I believe the issue is that the official HTC Bootloader Unlock process will not work -- and here's the key factor -- on devices that have already used the Revolution S-OFF procedure.[
I have been reading that it just kept hanging for everyone even with s-on... that is why I posted that I unlocked... I dont believe flashing recovery will work(yes i know how and tried zip method first).
What is the problem with my avatar? In the year that I have been on the MT4G thread no one has ever once complained about it... why you?
I'm not trying to be rude, I really just want to know why after all this time is it a problem?
ok, unlocked, SU and clockwork recovery all on board.. just stuck at S-on... directories are still read only, and I really would like to be able to use titanium!! but I am closer!!

Depends, if you want permanent root you need s-off or htcdev unlock.
You can flash custom roms without root if you have s-off or htcdev unlock, look at the index in my signature, there are guides for rooting, s-off and unlock.
I looked there but can't understand so much. First thing, I don't want to change my HBOOT version, so what must I do to root my phone ? I think, for HBOOT version is bigger than 2.0, I must unlock my bootloader by HTCDev but my phone is still S-ON. Did I understand truly this part ?
For rooting, I want permanent root so I can't understand that how can I do this ?
I used the bootloader unlocker from htcdev.com, then downloaded SuperOneClick and rooted it that way.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
However, be aware that if you do use the htcdev bootloader unlocker, you have to flash the boot image yourself if you want to install a new ROM.
To do this, you will need to have fastboot from the Android SDK. I think it is included with the SuperOneClick, but I can't remember.
simply extract the boot.img from the ROM zip file and then in a command prompt, cd to the directory that you have extracted the boot.img into and type fastboot flash boot boot.img (as long as you have fastboot in your classpath). If you don't cd to your fastboot and type in fastboot flash boot /path/to/boot.img
Hope this helps!
I cannot install the Android SDK Tools. Installer says that "Failed to find Java version for 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\java.exe' " but Java is installed already. What must I do at this stage ?
The error is that you're computer thinks the JRE is in system32, which it isn't. You'll need to change it to point to program files\Java or wherever you've installed Java. Unfortunately I'm in Tesco and I cant remember how to do sort it out. Google Java classpath to find out how.

You don't need Java for adb/fastboot.
If you'd find a guide somewhere on the internet instead of asking this in the forum where it has been answered 10000 times already, you'd be done with it by now.

Thanks lot ! I did rooting and unlocking my bootloader.
Hi,
I unlocked my desire with HTCDev so i have to flash the boot.img file every time i install a rom with a different kernel.
I was wondering if there another way, without connecting the phone to the pc, to flash this file.
I'm afraid not but i would like to be sure !
Nope, afaik not
There is a test feature on Sensation in 4EXT recovery, that allows doing it, activating bootloader upon reboot in some way.
I'm not sure if 4EXT recovery for Desire S has the same feature. Worth checking.
In any case, that's your only hope. The other way would be to relock, downgrade and S-OFF, to avoid all this unnecessary mess of flashing boot.img.
That feature doesn't work on desire s .
So the only way is via a pc using fastboot

Hi, Noob here!!!
I've been trying to install a custom ROM onto my HTC desire s , 2.00.0002, 3 branded device for 2 days now.
Super one click sticks at stage 7, tried all the deselect and reselect debugging fixes.
Done the HTCdev unlock, thinking this would help.
Tried to downgrade to use revolution, done all the zergRush and misc_version commands but nothing happens when trying to change version, still had $ in command line instead of #
I've installed Clockworkmod and can boot into recovery, have backed up, deleted and formatted and recovered succesfully.
My main question is.....Can I flash CyanogenMod without rooting?
if so, what other roms can I flash via clockworkmod?
If I have to root...how do I manage it? because I've been right round 3 circles of the net and these pages trying to find an answer!!!
Hope someone can help.
The guides here are really detailed. If you can't follow them - I suggest you leave the phone as is until you can, since you're likely to cause way more damage going down the road. And in the meantime, read the guides until you figure out what things do.

Since you have already been able to install CWM recovery, means that your device is already rooted? Check whether you have SuperUser installed, download the free version of Titanium backup and run the app once, it will tell you whether or not you are rooted. If it is, then I suggest you to follow the link below to downgrade and S-OFF your device (since you already unlocked it using HTCDev anyway).. Or you can stay S-On but i'm afraid you need to use your PC to flash the boot.img everytime you flash a ROM..
If it's not rooted, then try to root it with the same link below.. HTCDev unlock is different with root..
But locked down to 3 network is another thing, I'm afraid you need to pay to get it carrier-unlocked..

Try to follow this thread to downgrade, I was in the same situation like you before, and did almost all the downgrade threads but only this works out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318919
Hurley, there are two methods to exploit Saga. Try both. For me, zerg method works after fail trying the other method. I think you need to relock it first if you root using htcdev. ( am not remember the steps )
After root, downgrade to the earliest RUU, yes, im on asia region, but i used euro ruu, it works. Confirm your hboot downgraded to 98 after flash ruu. Then, go on to revolutionary. S-Off for good

no just flash zip file .
Nothing hard here. I've flashed 4-5 roms up to now. All running without a hiccup. Here's how you do-
Extract boot.img from the rom you are flashing
Put adb.exe, fastboot.exe, adb.dll and boot.img in a folder
Flash everything normally through recovery
And when it's done DON"T REBOOT just power off
Open up cmd, run as admin and go to your folder( cd c:\folder_name
type adb reboot bootloader
And finally fastboot flash boot boot.img
Everything should be okay.
Hello people. Just one question. I searched on google and here on xda how to do it but still Im not sure how to do it. I have HTC Desire S, S-OFF with 2.00.002 hboot version and 4.0.4. android version. How do I permanetly root? The official 4.0.4 is kinda laggy, at least for me. I tried few methods but still nothing.. And, I found few methods like for 0.98 hboot or 2.3.5. android but my phone isnt that so Im not sure will it work. Thanks im advance

Is your bootloader unlocked? If so then flash a custom recovery and flash a custom ROM, they all tend to be pre-rooted.
Sent from my Desire S using xda app-developers app
You're already S-OFF so you don't need to worry about most steps in guides.
I assume you have a custom recovery? You can just flash one of the superuser/superSU zip packages. (Desire S uses ARM).
You may also need to flash busybox.
My good gentlemen,
he says the phone is s off already
If you want to ROOT your phone (my case: Desire S , Mfc date: 2011-July ). This is the procedures i learned from China Android forums, at least it works on Me.!!
Make Sure your Hboot is 2.00.0002
Prepare 2 files first: Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip
(you should find those on the internet)
First:
Recovery --> install Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip from SDcard, and Reboot;
Second:
Recovery --> Install su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip from SDcard Again and Reboot.
Usually, your phone should be Rooted.!!
Have Fun
Thanks for answers Well, the only thing I wanna do is flash a custom rom, and I dont know do I need rooted device for that? If I dont, what do I need? And, how can I check is my bootloader unlocked? And, where can I find a custom recovery? Can anyone link me please? Thanks ^^

Reboot to bootloader and check the first and second lines of text there...
first states < unlocked > if it was unlocked
second at the end: s-off.... or s- on
If your device realy was: s- off,
then your bootloader does not perform check of a signature,
so, in human language means: you may flash anything you want
custom recovery: clockworkmod or 4ext,
you may find in index thread for desire s...
here is the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601
there you can find tutorials about flashing, rooting etc, etc...all you`ll need
here is another link to the help thread, where you may ask questions if you
stumbled somewhere, along the way
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143855
one more thing: when choosing roms, you should only flash roms for your device
htc desire s ( that`ll save you headaches )
Erm.. Just checked and it says bootloader is locked :/ It is S-OFF but locked. How can I unlock it? On HTCdev or? Thanks

I`ve never had stock s-off device ( always had to do it myself )
but if you phone was never rooted before and its security flag is set to s- off,
then i think its bootloader will never check manufacturer`s signature
Try this:
download from the market or from 4ext thread (index thread )
< 4ext recovery updater > and from within that application,
try to install recovery ( you`ll need it anyway )
if that`ll turn out to be succesful, then your phone is ready for the ride...
Go to the thread from the second link ( help thread )
and ask there whether device that is s- off, needs its bootloader to be unlocked
in order to be ready to flash custom roms...
To unlock bootloader you may try comand ( not sure if that would work for you )
fastboot oem unlock
issued to you phone through comand prompt ...
Prior to this action you should set up ADB on your pc,
and of course install the drivers for your device...
Says this what I attached. What now?

Ok then...
you have to flash recovery via fastboot
1. download and set up adb and drivers for you phone ( and install them )
2. download recovery ( clockworkmod or 4ext )
3.extract < recovery_xxxyyy.img > from the zip file- if you downloaded it zipped...
4.rename file to < recovery.img > and place it in the folder
where you`ve placed ADB
5.open command prompt and issue command:
cd c:\name of the folder with ADB [ enter ]
6. reboot your phone to bootloader and wire it to you pc
7. issue command:
fastboot devices
if your device has been recognised( list of devices attached xxxyyy05321...)
you`ll see your phone`s ID
8. issue command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
9. reboot bootloader, and from its option choose recovery
10. from recovery you may flash < superuser.zip >
if you just want your current rom rooted
or via recovery you may flash custom rom...
Alright mate thanks a lot. Im gonna try that as soon as I come home. Just one thing more, any chance of bricking my device? While doing that.

To be honest, when fiddling with phone`s system, bootloader etc..
however small- there is always a chance that you may manage to brick it,
but i`ve been followiing the above mentioned procedures- and many others before me,
many times, and it was always working without a problem,
it was tested and shared, first by the great ones among us,
so one may call them safe to perform,
but you should always remember to be careful,
and better read or ask twice, before doing something you do not fully understand
Ok just to make sure Im doing everything alright.
First, nothing to do with bootloader? Unlock or something?
Next, I create new folder on my pc on C partiton (because of cmd prompt you've said?), download adb and phone drivers and place them in the folder. Then install the drivers. Afterwards, download recovery and place it in the folder with adb and phone drivers and rename to recovery.img. Next, I reboot phone in bootloader and flash recovery. Then I have to reboot in bootloader again, how to? Phone will turn off so I can reboot in bootloader or what? Then I go in recovery, flash superuser.zip for rooted phone and afterwards flash custom rom. Thats it?

In bootloader, there is an option to reboot it,
While in fastboot usb mode, bootloader is the first option,
go into it (power button )....
There you can also find < recovery > option....
@chorba69
Go here and find the zip download link (here), extract to same folder as fastboot/adb (and optionally md5 check).
Reboot your phone into Fastboot (reboot to bootloader and if there is an option "fastboot", choose it, else you're already there)
Connect by USB (see the "+files" in my signature if you need windows drivers so your computer understands it's an android phone)
Open a command prompt window (hold shift, right click in the folder, open command prompt..)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wait for flash, if you see a message like "waiting for device", your phone isn't connected, you're on the wrong screen on your phone or your computer doesn't have the drivers installed.
Reboot back into bootloader
vol up/down, power button to choose Recovery
You now have a custom recovery (and you're viewing it), now you just have to select your zip from sdcard to flash it (this time the zip is the superuser/whatever).
Backups save phone's lives!
I'm curious about the first line of your hboot (after locked/unlocked/relocked)? e.g. mine is "SAGA PVT ENG S-OFF", if yours says "SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF" then you're "radio s-off" and can do things like change your phones CID (let it use any network). If it's ENG S-OFF and not pre owned, then you're very lucky indeed (and some people might want more info about/a copy of your hboot)!
Paulie, I attached the image as you can see. Says it's PVT SHIP S-OFF. Do I need to do something before flashing recovery and superuser/rom etc? Or it's not important? Whats the difference anyways between PVT and ENG? And thanks ^^
Mhm. Just tried to flash recovery but recieved this message (attached). Im on FASTBOOT USB screen on phone and in the right directory on pc. Do I need to set up adb or something? Or what do I have to do now?
PVT is expected there, SHIP seems to mean "this version is for general release" whereas "ENG" signifies that it is an ENGineering version.

I'm surprised you got this error. S-OFF should've meant you had no problem. Instead, you can try using the PG88IMG.zip method. Place the file in the root directory of your phone's SD card, reboot to bootloader and it should detect it and ask you if you want to apply the update.
Remember to delete/rename/move this zip file after it's done, as you'll not be able to use your bootloader normally whilst it is detected.
If you still get another error message, let us know!
Please be careful with the file below.

Hmm. So after I put that file on SD card, I have to flash it or flash the recovery.img? Or just when I put it and enter bootloader it will automatically start flashing the recovery?
Hi There,
My one S will only start up in CWM. I would like to try and put another ROMon it, but i keep losing my sdcard.
I tried to mount it again, but on my mac i don't succeed with it. My knowledge of adb/fastboot is a bit low (i bought this phone with CM11, but wifi wasn't working properly, so i updated it. Then it wasn;t working at all.
So i kind off got rit of CM11 (not my purpose, but it happened).
Now i'm stuck with a none working phone.
Anyone in the area of Utrecht, the Netherlands who can help me out?
Is much apreciated (i work in a bar, so with beer i can repay )
hope to hear from anyone.
ciao

To answer both. I would like to get twrp on it, but the only ways i can find to change the recovery is trhough goo manager or apps you can put on your phone (which isn't working)
I think the first part would be getting the sdcard to be more stable (format the damn thing)
Sorry, i think it's a ville. I will try and get the CID this weekend. including the rest of the info (don't have the device with me (@work) But to fastboot/adb the device i hope the sdcard will work properly...
Will edit this message this weekend.
To flash the recovery you dont need the sd card to work. You can do this by using fastboot commands.
At first you have to make sure that your Computer has the HTC-Driver installed and got a working adb/fastboot directory. If you dont know how to make this work, simply search this Forum there are plenty of good guides.
After you got this working, simply copy the latest twrp.zip to your adb folder. Boot your phone into fastboot mode. Open the command prompt from your adb folder and type in: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.zip".
After this is done you should be able to access twrp recovery.
if you don't tell me whats you cid and if you have a ville o villec2 i can't help you, because you can brick your phone

i've managed to flash the recovery (twrp 2.8.6.5)
Pushed the latest CM12-1, through twrp i installed it, wipped the dalvik/cache, but then nothing happens...
It seems that i'm stuck in een boot sequence to end up in twrp again..
am going to try to get s-off and then push the rom again...keep you posted

if you're s-on you need to flash the boot.img via fastboot, but if s-off not, maybe this is your problem.

This was the one i needed. Thanks for giving me directions.
After extracting the boot.img from the cm zip, it was a few minutes and up and running
Installing gapps and the phone is ready for use. (my daughter will be delighted)
Thanks for your help (all of you above...)
