Ok So back in the day I used the ace hack kit so I was happily on froyo me specs are:
Android Version 2.2.1
Kernel Version 2.6.32.21-g3c08447
Software Number Inspired DHD AFR003
so now as I remember I did the s-off rooted and unlocked but need to go back to stock firmware (IDK just want it) so att made the update to gingerbread so my question is:
If I update like the way the htc page tells me to will it brick my phone ?
and if not what do I have to do?
ive just been out of it and im a little back behind but I find posts with other things than this thanks in advance guys!
Check out this thread.

It has all the instructions and tools you need to return to stock.
but I cant just execute the htc update and what would happen my main concern is messing up my phone by just updating to the official Gingerbread I am on still on the same specs
Yes you can just flash the gingerbread ruu. You will be stock but still have soff which is fine unless you were going to do some kind of warranty claim then I would suggest gong son aswell

Do you mean the OTA update, or the RUU from HTC's website? If the former, then no, you can't unless you are running a rock-stock froyo ROM (it will abort before doing anything). If the latter, then yes, you can run it, but it will wipe everything.

thats the file I really dont care of the features I use im just wondering if i'll mess up my phone plus I just want to know what ill keep and what ill lose in terms of the s-off and I know ill lose the unlock

Flashing ghe htc OTA update while you are S-Off will not work. Found this out the hard way back when I first started messing with phones
You can un root your phone and put S-On and update it to gingerbread but I don't think you'll be able to root it as I believe the hack kit requires you to downgrade firmware anyway.
Best bet is to just flash a gingerbread rom. If your trying to keep sense I would suggest the rom virtuous unity.
Has sense 3.0 with a load of new features and is gingerbread I believe.
Either way, best of luck. Hope this helps

Hey guys; im hoping you guys can provide some advise for a noob that recently got into the scene with flashing my sensation...im currently running ARHD 3.6.8 and while it's great, I have issues sometimes that the only way for the phone to to start working again is to take the battery out. it happens randomly or also when trying to access the internet it will just sit there and load. I haven't tried sense 3.5 yet and i see there's alot of beta kernels out there as well. At this time, what's the most complete/stable ROM or kernel released? I've done some research and as I mentioned earlier, this is my 1st ROM flashed so I want some inputs from those with more experience and/or have tried most of the ROMs out there.
I'm willing to try anything really, but wife get pissed" when I'm reading xda dev all the time, specially on the weekends, haha
Any inputs are greatly appreciated. Also, Im tmobile US and want to stay stock as much as possible but im down with trying new things! Thanks
You Will Like ..
tryed a bunch of roms .. but always go back to bulletproof :/
Love the tweaks .. and stable as all get out for me .. never have any problems with it.

Hello guys im also a noob for HTC, my previous phone is galaxy w xD pretty standard, i got my new sensation today so whats the most stable rom ?? Thx
dude u should really go for ARHD 6.4.0 or the newer version that has sense 3.6 that had been released today... well i have been using the 6.4.0 for 2 days but still it is not giving me any problems... i had used arhd 6.0.3 for almost a month and it was very stable... As for me, as long as you get it right it is always the newer the better unless stated by the developer.. So if you are planning to go for ARHD 6.x.x just follow the steps correctly and you will be save and you will definitely love your phone...

sorry but just dont go to the arhd 6.5.0 just yet because i heard the were having issues with installing from unknown sources...

OK basically, when you are looking at roms on their OFFICIAL XDA page it should say the firmware required, just download it from the link that they will most probably have provided for you, put it on the root of your sdcard and then boot into hboot and follow the instructions ( pull out battery, reinsert and then hold down the volume down button and the power button). Usually you will only have to flash firmware files for ics roms but if you want to go back to stock ( for warranty issues or if you just want to for the lulz) then you should ALWAYS change your hboot back to the ones supported by revolutionary.io or else you will end up ***ked like i currently am with no solution. To change the hboot just flash an old firmware file or run a RUU file, search it up on google and you are SuperCid so you can use any.
Okey thanks alot man!!! So to get back i just donwload the old frimware??

I have a couple of Desire S's here, one locked to Orange with the awful Orange ROM, the other unlocked with a stock ROM.
My question is this:
Is there a way to take a backup from the stock phone and restore it on the other?
At the moment both phones are S-On and neither is rooted or modified in any way, both are running the updated 2.3.5 roms.
I'm fed up with the rubbish Orange put on the phone, but with the upcoming ICS OTA update due some time this year (maybe) I want to be able to get this when HTC release it, rather than when Orange have butchered it. I'm happy to pay Orange to unlock the phone if needs be, but I'd rather not if it's avoidable . (I'm also looking at going to 3 for the unlimited data so it might get unlocked at some point anyway...)
I've seen some posts saying that once modified the OTA updates are pretty much not going to happen, although was unclear if they meant modified ROMS or just other ROMS from the one originally supplied. I'm fairly happy with the Sense 3.0 update
I have previously rooted my old Hero and flashed Cyanogen on it regularly, but don't want to fiddle too much with my Desire unless I have to.
Any thoughts/suggestions welcomed, but I really don't want to wait until Orange get round to modding ICS once HTC finally release it.
OK, change of plan. Looks like it will be much simpler to simply flash with a generic ROM with 2.3.5 and then do it again later when ICS is out.
Looking at the FileFactory list of RUUs I'm not clear which the best option is... What's the difference between the RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe and the RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe?

No, but if you use a goldcard, you can flash RUU's out of region / brand etc.

You can easily S-OFF them by using Revolutionary (if HBoot is 0.98.000X), most stock ROMs tend to have quite easily hackable bootloaders.

Orange will charge you an arm and a leg. Better is to find an unlock provider online. Googling around or use the giffgaff unlockapaedia.

Yes, stock branded ROMs are distributed by the network. So unless orange can be bothered to re-theme a new OTA update, you won't be getting one I'm afraid if you're on a branded ROM.

Tbh, current ICS roms have camera problems, due to proprietary htc drivers. These probably won't be solved until HTC releases the official ICS patch (or some kind dev ports a sensation ICS driver).
You'll also find that with some of the phones, AOSP and CM7 kernels also have camera problems (it's a bit of a hit and miss really...) if you're happy with Sense interface, try Endymion, Virtuous or SenseMOD.

Make sure you check your phone version when flashing RUUs. Use fastboot getvar all and look at the INFOversion-main and INFOcidnum.
Becareful there, because if you flash the wrong version, you'll get a HTC locked bootloader!
If in doubt, use Goldcard.
Hi all,
I am new to android and just* want to root my phone as many apps demand your phone to be rooted such as full backup apps, firewall apps and other similar apps.
I am still on HTC's stock 2.3.3 with HTC sense v.2.1 (though i have downloaded the OTA update for 2.3.5 but kinda confused over negative reviews of 2.3.5 update..so I am holding it here right now)
But when I saw a guide here though quite helpful but I was a bit confused as what I read on other articles on XDA + on other blogs that a thing called HBOOT is a bit tricky to tackle while following a particular rooting method; as there are many ways to root like using revolutionary..installing custom bootloaders etc (is it really neccessary? I just want to root my phone and don't plan to install any custom ROMs in near future.)
I am confused
- as to should I really let my warranty go off the table as its just a month old phone sacrificing it for just a few apps I want to use.
- Please tell me that, will I be able to search for and install the officially released OTA updates such as the 2.3.5 / ICS after I have done S-OFF + Rooted my phone??
If answer to both of the questions above is a "YES"
then plz tell me step by step of how to S-OFF and ROOT my phone (I found multiple ways to Root the phone and now I am confused and not really confident on which way/approach to follow)
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards,
Sky770
If you want to root, do not download the OTA and install!!
You are in a great position, and you can easily root your hboot with the alpharevx.
Do it, you won't regret it.
Also, we can't give you step by step guides... Follow the index links.
Also, you can't install updates after rooted. But you won't need to. We will have the official ICS prerooted before.

So, should I be worried about the HBOOT ver. number? the 0.98 ? :|
You should be less worried that the hboot is 0.98....
No need of downgrading,
It's simple, just do revolutionary....
And you will have S-off
And yes, don't download the OTA

ok.. I really have no idea about what happens and what not happens if i do downgrade my HBOOT but I see many people here on XDA done that (downgraded their HBOOT) Can you shed some light on this topic?
Also, I would definitely want to try official 2.3.5 and/or the official ICS release (whenever they release one; around Q3/Q4 2012? ) so is there any* way to install these if I do revolutionary? I would def. like to find these updates via OTA (will my phone detect these from official HTC servers?)
PS: I am trying to stay as long as with official ROM as of now :| so no near future plans to flash my baby with a custom one
Just need the root
just a few more noob questions to follow
Thanks for reading and replying
You will not thank me for this, but for your sake I suggest reading instead of writing. All of the info you're asking for is written in the guides, and people that write the guides don't have enough patience to answer those that don't bother reading and ask the same questions over and over. Writing questions instead of reading FAQs and guides leaves you with less probability of having a good answer or having an answer at all, and clutters the already cluttered forum.

As you are on the old hboot, there is no need of downgrading, that's why I said, do not install the upgrade.
We have a ROM, by Proxuser, which is the rooted version of the OTA with no modifications and will work out pretty well.
Once rooted you will not be able to receive any OTA upgraded, but IMHO, hardly matters, you will get the same and better versions out here.
We already have the leak of ICS build for desire S, and it's pretty fast, forget q3
Also we have very functional sense 4 lite, which is faster than sense 3.6
So again, do the revolutionary, it's quite simple actually for you, and flash the saga 3D,, for a stock experience

Well the beauty of rooting is trying out custom ROMs... I don't think you should root if you don't intend too. You seriously won't regret it. Just take a NAND backup, you can always restore to it if you don't like the custom ROMs.
And as I have said before...
No, you can't get OTAs once rooted, but you can still install these maually, and you will be able to do it way before the update actually hits your phone 'officially'.
As we have said too, you are in a good position. No need to downgrade at all. Your hboot version is the right one.

Right.. When I acually was craving for a droid I was crazy as hell to root n try out new ROMs but... when I got an HTC I was simply hands down n thought not to touch this beauty. HTC Desire S is quite a package at this cheap price + hardware config.
PS: just a last ques. for now: which OS is the recommended one? I do have linux mint 10 32 bit edition installed on my machine; its a bit old.. rarely updated the packages n all AND I have windows 7 ultimate 64 bit edition ..so which one would you recommend me to root with?
Thanks a lot guys.
I'll get on it.. and will tell you how things go

Well i felt the same too. It's great out if the box, but you can achieve so much more when rooted.
Do it. Also, Windows 7 is easier.
ROMs? Have you checked the dev forum yet?

No, that's not what forums are for. You should probably look at the name of the forum and think, what does "-developers" part stand for, and why isn't it called "XDA-users-in-doubt-that-are-too-lazy-to-bother-reading". Your "period" you can use elsewhere.
To your last question: Windows is what the guides are written for, so doing everything on Windows will be better - it won't require you to understand and "translate" everything to Linux.

@sky770... The guys are right, In my opinion it's only worth rooting your device if you plan to try a couple of custom ROM's. You seriously won't regret. HTC have a habit of leaving some of the older devices to "fall & die" without providing updates. Through the hard work and determination of some of these guys on here, You will not only have your handset kept alive but also at the same level as some as HTC's flagship devices.
As for recommendation on ROM

Hi,
I'm currently running Ordroid on my Sensation but have decided I want to go back to the stock Sensation ROM - the gingerbread one that was on the phone when I bought it (ie unrooted) and have found the list of RUUs but am a bit daunted as to which one to choose!
I'm from the UK and the phone was bought unlocked (had never been locked to a network) so which RUU do I choose from the list for the most up to date official gingerbread rom?
This is the list I've found:
www.filefactory.com/f/c87a2330449af512/
Also, with me being on ICS currently and wanting to downgrade to GB, do I need to flash a new radio or RIL before running the RUU or does the RUU contain the necessary radio/prerequisites to run without anything else?
Thanks in anticipation!

Download CIDgetter from the market.
It should show you the original CID.
I have enclosed a couple of files that show the CID and from that you can look at the other list to get the right RUU. I cannot vouch 100% for the info in the files but then seem to have been correct so far.
The only ones I have personally used are:
CID - VODAP001 RUU - x.xx.161.xxxxxxxxx (Vodafone UK)
CID - HTC__001 RUU - x.xx.401.xxxxxxxxx (WWE "World Wide English")
The WWE one does not have the carrier bloatware so a good starting point.
SuperCID is "11111111" which enables you to install any RUU.
That's a massive help, thank you ever so much!
My CID is HTC_001 so am installing an ICS x.xx.401.xxx one which is HTC_Europe
Fingers crossed that one will work
Thanks again!

I was S-OFF but as I've just installed a stock ROM I'm back to S-ON. The only reason I've done this is I was kinda dissatisfied with the performance of my Sensation; it was taking about a second to return to home when pressing home, apps took a few seconds to load where on another android phone I have (much less powerful than the Sensation) they were loading instantly. Thought returning to stock might alleviate the lag. It seems to have done that a bit, but it still feels a bit clunky and the screen overheats so much at the bottom! I knew this was a problem some people were getting but thought again that going back to stock would cure the problem - apparently not! Very tempted to send a letter/make a phonecall to HTC asking why a £330 phone is lagging and overheating when a £100 Huawei I have runs better than it!
Anyway, I'm rambling and going off-topic!
tl;dr is my phone's working okay but not quite as fast/cool as I'd hoped
Thanks again for your help
You're probably:
S-OFF but locked.
If you were S-OFF you will still be.
Look for the XDA thread (can't remember the title) "User Friendly Firmware " and get an unlocked/revolutionary HBOOT.

I'm using CM10 from Bruce's kang, Have a try.
It's AOSP so doesn't have the Sense baggage.
Ensure yu are fully S-OFF before you change anything.
I am currently on a sense 4 Rom running 3.33 firmware is it possible for me to go back to gingerbread as I hate all the lag
FYI I am S-Off, unlocked bootloader and super CID

Yes, if you are S-OFF install a GB firmware and then install a GB custom ROM.
OR just install a GB RUU.
