I want to root my DS to use some apps that require it. how can i do it ?
i want just root,while runing the official rom. can it be done ? thank you.
You'll need s-off, which can be acheived via htcdev.com Then, flash recovery and then the Superuser zip. That's the only way to root 2.3.5
Seems I'm missing something here. I got the HTCDev S-off. Bootloader is now unlocked. Now I want the phone rooted. I installed ROM Manger and tried to install ClockworkMod Recovery but the program keeps telling me on startup that I need to have Superuser installed. When trying to install Recovery download starts but I get an error message loosely translated "error while executing privileged command"
I also downloaded the superuser Rom from the clockworkmod homepage but I don't exactly know what to do with it. Rooting the first HTC Desire was much easier
I'd appreciate any help
Thanks

You are manually going to have to flash ClockworkMod from fastboot mode. As you have discovered, you cannot use ROM Manager to install CWM.

Ok. thanks. as far as I remember I need an *.img file for that which I have to place in the sd-card main folder. The superuser rom I downloaded is a zip file. Where do I get the *.img file? thx again
no, you need a recovery.img. Then flash that and flash the SuperUser ZIP through recovery.
Got that. Thx. And WHERE can I get recovery.img? Found one with Google however I don't know if there are different ones for different phones. Thx
Since when has the desire s been supported by htc dev
Links to threads with cwm recovery or the superior 4ext recovery are in the index thread on the desire s development forum
Say you download the 4ext recovery zip, you can then extract the recovery img file out of it

It is not 'officially' listed on the htcdev site, however, the locked HBOOT 2.00.0002 can be unlocked using the procedure that is listed on the htcdev site.
thanks alot !

Thanks a lot. That did the trick. Desire S is rooted and Titanium Backup works now.
I'd like to know for future reference how you flashed the image. Can you use android flasher after s-off to do this? (i used rom manager method)
well, for now i just s-off-ed using htcdev.com .
next i was trying to figure out how to root, what steps.i've read the dedicated thread , but it helps me not . can you just point out the next steps ? rooting for dummies pls
Ok. It's rather easy. After using htcdev's method to S-Off the HBOOT, I downloaded the 4extrecovery_v2.1.0_saga.zip file from the 4ext homepage and extracted recovery.img from the archive onto my hard drive.
Then I started the phone in fastboot mode, connected it via USB to the notebook (don't forget USB debugging) and used fastboot.exe to flash recovery.img from my Windows notebook via a command line (cmd). Then I started 4ext recovery from fastboot mode on the Desire S and flashed the Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip file I had also downloaded from 4ext homepage and had copied in the main directory of my sd-card. reboot phone and you're done.
In case you need a tutorial for flashing via fastboot look here:

Thanks to all for helping

Once you are hboot unlocked, you can install a custom recovery and then install the su binary and superuser app to gain root access. Then you can use Titanium backup.

thanks, will try today
I have a similar question to the OP's one.
I want to root my Desire S so as I can use more apps, how do I go about doing this?
From reading around it seems to be like this:
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Flash Custom Recovery such as 4Ext
3. Flash su file
4. Install superuser app
Would these be the correct steps to take and give me root acess?
(Edit: If possible, can someone post the exact steps needed for flashing the custom recovery and su file? I'm not exactly sure as to how to go about doing this)
Anyone? I have already unlocked my bootloader, but I still am not sure it the rest of the steps I have posted are correct (or even how to go about doing them).

I followed the step 1-3 to get S-off on the guide. I flashed a mod but there was a bug so i decided to do a recovery from the back up i made before I flashed the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip for permanent root. When I downloaded and opened ROM manager It tells me I need to root first. When I open revolutionary it tells me I have S-off already.
Any chance someone can help figure this out.

Hi,
Best suggestion is to run revolutionary again.
This time go through the whole process.
When I run revolutionary it tells me I have S-off already. Shouldn't I be able to use rom manager if it tells me that? It said superuser was not found.
Just try flashing the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip again you should then have root.
Don't I need to do it through CWM recovery? It won't let me go into CWM because it thinks I don't have root accesss.

update your superuser and binary versions (from market for app, binary update from within app itself) then you will not have problems with ROM Manager
Thank you guys for all your suggestion. I was able to fix it. I download superuser and it didn't work. What ended up working was going into bootloader, going into recovery and it booted it into cwm recovery from there I was able to flash the su file.
I wanted to flash to ARHD 6.3
This is my first time.. I managed to S off.. But then the bootloop began after I flashed PG58IMG.zip via fastboot.
Step 1. To S-OFF your Sensation - (You do not need to do this if you have S-off already or done this before) - WORKING NOW for TMOUS users
Visit
download the application for your operating System. AND EXTRACT IT TO A FOLDER
YOU MAY NEED TO DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM- Norton is flagging up Revolutionary as a Virus when it isn't
IMPORTANT
Fill out the form under the download links with your OS, Device, Hboot Version and Serial number. This will give your beta key to enable you to S - OFF. Make a note of this.
How To get your Hboot Version - 3 methods below
1. [/url] and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
4. With the phone switched on (not in HBOOT, just the regular home screen), plug in your USB cable and select HTC sync mode.(IGNORE any warning messages on your phone telling you it cannot find HTC Sync )
5. Launch revolutionary.exe. It should detect the phone and ask for your beta key. Type it (BE CAREFUL, as its case sensitive) or copy and paste it in.
If Revolutionary fails to find your phone verify you have all the drivers installed, try disk drive mode or charging mode (Linux users can use disk drive mode. Confirmed to be working by others)
6. Once you have entered your beta key correctly, follow any on screen prompts or actions from revolutionary and wait for it to S-Off,
7. You're done. Your Device will Successfully have S-OFF....if it hangs on method 3 and doesn't S-Off. See post 2 below for solutions.
IF REVOLUTIONARY SAYS FAILED YOUR PHONE IS NOT SUPPORTED. Go back and check hboot using the methods above. some users are told its failed and they still have S off now. If you have S-off your hboot will now be 1.17.1011 and revolutionary will tell you now your device is not supported
8. Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually below (the recovery provided is v4.0.1.4 doesn't charge when device is switched off, the one below v5.0.0.1 does charge)
9. Your Device now is S-off.
To install clockwork recovery for the sensation. Follow step 2!
STEP 2. To INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8
1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation HERE: or Multiupload
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)

I got stuck at step 2.5.. Pls help me out. Actually I used to flash ROM for i9000 a couple of times but for sensation this is my first time. I'm using sensation unlocked. I lived in Malaysia so most probably its asians version.

Do you still have a PG58IMG.zip on your sd card?
If so ,delete it.

oh i've read that as well so i have deleted it manually by using sd adapter.. then reinserted it back n tried to boot normally.. but to no avail.. what's the root cause of this eh?
when i gained s off, i still can boot into my ROM.. however disaster happens when i flashed the .zip files obtained as per instructions..
oh but directly after i've flashed it, i didn't remove the .zip files n tried to immediately reboot into ROM.. does this make a difference?

good question..
immediately after s off, i boot into my ROM and tried to install busybox and other apps that requires superuser or root but failed and stating that my device was still not rooted..
so i proceed to install a recovery (in this case its ext4 recovery) but failed to find a .zip installer (but managed to find the .apk and .img version but afraid to proceed considering the extension wasn't the same as per guide's PG5...ZIP). so i tried to simply install cwm as per stated in the guide. coz i know after recovery is installed, only then i would be able to install the su zip files.
then it boot looped.. n here we are trying to shoot all of these troubles.. XD
and if my understanding was wrong, pls correct me. thanks!
only after you sent me the links i managed to install ext4 recovery via a much easier method using cmd.exe..
n that also means that i wasn't even able to follow through the supercid part of the guide..

wait a moment, i dont know if things are making more sense to me but, is it possible that this was caused by a wrong firmware? i just figured out my cid and its htc_044 and there are 4 different version of firmware for this cid, so should i try each of it until my phone boots to my original ROM?
Update: Oh God, I'm in such a relief! Thank God it works now. I flashed the firmware 1.17 n now am able to boot back into my ROM. Now i'm gonna get things backed up n will proceed. phew thanks so much for helping me out. The cause was maybe the zip files werent compatible with mine. So i check my cid n mid, n downloaded what might be the original one. so now its fixed..
hey guys, i am trying to root my inspire. When i ran the Ace Hack kit, it gave me the error saying ...
********* Radio Downgrade failed ***********
** Either:
** Goldcard failed
** USB connections are not working 100
********* Radio Downgrade failed ***********
Press any key to continue . . .
i made sure the antivirus was disabled, removed apple software, 2 pcs, 2 sync cable and will be trying another SD card, but im stuck. Also i tried to boot in HBOOT but no luck either. The HBOOT screen came up but no luch on trying to load the img file. Please assist me if you can, Thanx
Probably an SD card that can't be used as a gold card. Get another SD and try again.

That is due to corrupted sdcard. Anyway, you can unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and root without the Hack Kit (take into consideration that is has been discontinued as so has the files and support) Check my signature for doubts

OK, I try to unlock bootloader now. But I got stuck to this (same problem with other guy in this forum, but no lead):
My ROM Software Numbre is 3.13.707.4, and the RUU tool (PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe) displayed the same number. The option I was given was "Update the current ROM version." So I clicked update and it says "From Image Version 3.13.707.4 To Image Version 3.13.0.0". I clicked next to proceed. Then I get:
ERROR [190]: ROM IS NOT UPDATED
Your ROM version is not the latest version.
Please upgrade to 3.13.707.3 to apply this RUU to be able to unlock your bootloader. On your phone, go to Menu > Settings > About phone > Software updates > Check now. After you have updated, please run the RUU again to upgrade your HBOOT to unlock your phone. Click Exit to quit.
At this point I went back to the phone and performed the "check now", but there are no other updates.
I have google for this (ROM 3.34.707.3) but leads to nothing... no problem solving at all...
Stuck again now....
Updated :
Finally I can root my phone...
Problem described above, can be solved by update the Hboot version manually check this :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252161
I can download update Hboot files from the link in there...
Then I continue with unlocking bootloader as describe in your signature (using easy unlock tools) then continue to flash CWM and SU using easy ace hack tools... Wow your tools is very easy to understand for a noob like me
Now, since i already have root access, it should be enough for me...
But just curious, how to gain S-Off access from here... I still not clear enough about S-off and S-On difference, what exactly advantages to have S-Off?
Please help me!

Hi Decasys, follow this step :
*Unlock boot loader with htcdev/bootloader
see your HBOOT version : you face problem describe on this thread if your hboot ver is 2.00.0027 you have to download file as below to achieve version 2.00.0029 because it support token key for unlock.
1. download this rom copy to your c:\ drive : http://www.mobfirmware.com/dl/behtash/imei dhd/rom.zip
2. then download : http://www.mobfirmware.com/dl/behtash/imei dhd/dhd update hboot by behtash.rar
3. run hboot update by behtash.bat in normal mode ,waiting until flash hboot complete
at this point your HBOOT will be upgrade to 2.00.0029 (check it)
*Then continue to use :
Easy unlock tools, follow insctrution in this therad : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133336
at this point, on your bootloader, it will have "unlocked" notification on the top
*Then continue to use :
Easy Ace root tools, on this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2169515
When you run it, just choose to flash CWM (as I remember it was option #2)
And then continue to flash SU (as I remember it was option #3)
That's all, you gain root access.

Seems the way I get the root access can't use to install custom ROM.
I try to install cyanogenmod as in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073992
But seems after do all the steps to install a custom rom there, my phone was stuck on HTC logo...
Fortunately, I have do nandroid backup, so I can restore to stock roms...
What i want to ask is, why my phone can't install custom ROM now? I know that I still has S-ON, but is that the cause? If yes, is there any possible way for me to get S-Off and install a custom ROM?
glevitan, i need your help again I think :angel:
Update again :
After checking on some place, apprantly i still left some steps
this one :
Flashing roms with an unlocked bootloader
Unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery (CWM or 4ext)
Download the rom zip file you are willing to flash to your PC.
Extract the the boot.img from inside the zip file (do not extract the whole rom)
Put the zip file in your sdcard.
Boot into recovery and do a full wipe (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format system)
Flash rom (install zip from sdcard)
Reboot into bootloader again and plug the phone to the PC.
You need to be in fastboot usb (if you see HBOOT USB PLUG in the phone, just press power to toggle)
Open a cmd/terminal and navigate to where the boot.img file is located.
Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot and now you should be enjoying your custom rom
Finally I can enjoy my custom rom
Finally.
Finally.
I did it. I followed your instructions and I have root my phone.
I'm using the Custom ROM JellyTime and works perfectly.
Many Thanks for your help.

I'll paypal someone 5 bucks if they can remotely get me S-OFF and flash OpenSensatio2 on my phone. I've tried everything and it's just not working. I've been doing this for 5 hours, I can't do this anymore. I am "Unlocked" but have S-ON. I also forgot to make a backup so there is no rom on my phone. I can get into Recovery (CWM 5) and I can get to Fastboot USB screen. I'm on HBOOT 1.18.000
I don't know how this works but if someone knows how to do this remotely over the web, lemme know.
First, you need 4ext touch recovery. Here is the download: http://www.4ext.net/ddl/pyramid/recovery.zip
Firstly,download the file, and rename it to pg58img.zip
Place the file on the root of your SD Card, and boot into bootloader. It will then search for the file, and install the recovery.
When the process is done, you must remove the file from your sd card.
Then you have to flash the ics firmware, which is required in order to run an ICS ROM.
Download a 3.32 or up firmware for your cid from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Place file on root of sd-card, boot into bootloader, wait until finished, and then remove the file.
Now, download OpenSensation, and gapps, and place on your sd card.
Boot into bootloader, select recovery.
Then, scroll down to tools, and then ''Enable 4ext smartflash''
Then go back, and head into the wipe|format menu.
Then select format all partitions (except sd card)
Then go back to main menu, and select install zip.
Then choose install zip from sd card, and select the opensensation zip.
When that is done, flash the gapps zip.
Reboot and enjoy!

Download a 3.32 or up firmware for your cid from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Place file on root of sd-card, boot into bootloader, wait until finished, and then remove the file.
Now, download OpenSensation, and gapps, and place on your sd card.
Boot into bootloader, select recovery.
Then, scroll down to tools, and then ''Enable 4ext smartflash''
Then go back, and head into the wipe|format menu.
Then select format all partitions (except sd card)
Then go back to main menu, and select install zip.
Then choose install zip from sd card, and select the opensensation zip.
When that is done, flash the gapps zip.
Reboot and enjoy!

This works up until the welcome screen. I click "English (US)" and then it says "Just a sec..." and then freezes and reboots. You've gotten me farther than I've gotten. Any idea why we are hitting that reboot?

First, you need 4ext touch recovery. Here is the download: http://www.4ext.net/ddl/pyramid/recovery.zip
Firstly,download the file, and rename it to pg58img.zip
Place the file on the root of your SD Card, and boot into bootloader. It will then search for the file, and install the recovery.

firstly he has to flash a GB rom via 4ext recovery then use revolutionary.io method to S-OFF the device
then flash 3.32fw or 3.33fw version in order to flash an ics rom

flash the boot.img of the rom manually
RevolutionaryIO will not connect to my device. It just keeps saying waiting.
EDIT: Can you post a GB rom I can flash. Rev is probably not connecting because I had no rom on the phone.

have you enabled usb debuggimg mode from settings?
maybe requires also htc drivers i am not sure for that
I have the drivers. I couldn't have debug on because there wasn't a rom on the phone. I'm looking for a GB rom now to test.

Hi,
You have used HTCdev,so you will not be able to use revolutionary.
Relock your phone.
You need to go right back to stock with a GB RUU .
Look HERE

I ended up flashing a GB rom just to try it out and make a backup. It worked.
Okay, so now-
1. Relock phone and then run the GB RUU exe
2. Turn debugging on
3. Attempt Revolutionary
In that order? Sorry if I have a bunch of questions. I've rooted a bunch of Galaxy's before and never ran into so many issues. I love the Sensation though.

Hi,
Ok.
If you have got a ROM installed,then,forget the RUU for now,but do relock the phone.
Turn debugging on
Then,try Revolutionary.
Thank you both for all of your help! I'm so happy just to have a rom on here, I thought it was dead. Haha. I'm going to try Rev again after dinner and I will update this post later today or tomorrow morning and let you know how I did.
I'm excited to be back on Android. I got rid of my iPhone. It was about time.

Do you have any HTC drivers installed, and what OS is your PC running?
