Congratulations, this solution really works. By the way, "[WARNING] Do not flash a new official RUU/ROM/OTA if you have root and/or S-OFF" is now old news, so it can be removed. It does not do harm to install the OTA, people just lose root. It is possible to downgrade
Actually the thread should say something like: You can safely install RUU/ROM/(OTA*) if you have Radio S-OFF (other users too, but it takes more steps to downgrade then), but in any case you will lose root.
* OTA has been pulled by HTC
the guide to how to flash a rom on DHD is dead....
Can mods be abit more strict at moderating pls? thanks
Report the posts and we will see them, they remain hidden otherwise.

Sorting things out
Recently with all the new ICS roms and with the "old" Gingerbread roms it is becoming harder and harder to find the ROM that you are looking for. Maybe it is an idea to split the ROM development into gingerbread and ICS roms?
Just wondering if it is possible?
Good suggestion, I'll take a look at this. Thanks
Added Grant Barkers ROM list to the sticky.
This sticky is rather out of date. The thread index has moved and AAHK is retired.
Here is the question, that many people interested (i think so):
how to install last OTA update from HTC (not to flash dev ROM) on Revolutionary S-offed Desire S?
From different threads i read, that there is 2 ways:
1. Change HBOOT to 0.98.2002 (but it needs to wipe all the data?) and run update.
2. S-on device (what is the best way to do it?) and run update.
For example, my device conf.:
Stock ROM
Android ver. 2.3.3
Software # 1.47.401.4
Bootloader:6.98.1002

You really should search before asking questions. This thread was in the first 10 in this section, yet you started another one. (works for revolutionary too)
Also, post all questions in general or q&a section.

need some other ideas
Hi guys. Had this idea for a while. There are a lot of people joining xda on daily basis, and there are a lot of repetitive questions being asked which fill up Development threads. Point them here.
First thing first. I strongly advise you to read THIS thread before posting ANYTHING on XDA.
Then, have a quick look at the links at the bottom of this post. You might find what you need right away.
Third. Even if you do get your question answered, please, do come back and read the links in this post to educate yourself. You'll be surprised how much time and frustration it will save you in the future.
ASK ANY QUESTION HERE,adb, drivers, superCID etc...... You will either get an answer or will get pointed in the right direction.

Why wouldn't you SuperCID?
I put a question in the firmware/partition thread yesterday, still no answer so I'll kick off by asking it again.
I see a lot of people getting trouble with their CID when installing firmware, and the firmware package is constantly updated with new CID's, however it seems prudent to become SuperCID anyway.
Is there a reason for not wanting SuperCID? From my understanding it's just a "label" in the phone, so it doesn't affect signal strength / how good your radio works etc. So it seems weird to want to avoid SuperCID. Am I right?
The only reason I can think of is in case of warranty returns or so. But why are so many (with a working device) trying to install firmware with their original CID then?
I hope someone understands my question.

Yes you are right, If you want to go back to S-on sometime (which you'll only want in case of warranty returns), you'll need official firmware/hboot. However, S-on is a dangerous process, people have bricked their devices doing it.
The official firmware from that thread can be used for other purposes as well (If you're phone works better, you can switch to stock ROM/firmware and leave it S-off), but if you're not having troubles, I see no need to do that.
Also, you can make a NANDroid backup of your phone after you have rooted/S-off/CWM, so switching to Stock ROM won't be a problem.
For now, I wholeheartedly recommend Custom ROMs with the appropriate firmware.

S-on goes wrong if you do it on rooted phone only by the looks of it. Although, any of this nodding businessis potentially dangerous, all you can do is to learn as much as you can to minimise possibility of a brick.

And usually if you use an earlier RUU it will prompt you eventually for an OTA that will get up back to where you belong.

Do you mean can you replace the launcher with something that is different/more compact?
You can always try a different desktop launcher like Go Launcher or ADW but you will lose your ability to use Sense widgets. I don't know of anyone that has modified Sense Launcher to allow folders.
I don't want other launchers - sense stock is good, but I need something other for all programs menu - actually i've found AppFolders.
I just want to remap action on left button to app folder, for example. Is it possible in sense?

Cyanogen updates are like Fight Club.
Rule number 1. You don't talk about Cyanogen updates.
Rule number 2. You don't talk about Cyanogen updates.
That aside.....CM9 is being worked on. That's the only update there is. It'll get here when it gets here. (And yeah...I'm drooling with anticipation too and it drives me bonkers that I have no idea when we'll get to see it But that's the way Cyanogen rolls.)

1. Could any one list down What the procedures (from stock) are to boot with Custom ROM?
I had read lots of posts here, which made me much more confused thn. Sorry for being such a noob. I m not getting a clear picture of what needs to be done from start to have new custom ROM(say ICS).
2. And would my phone get FOTA updates with custom ROM?
3. List of some awesome custom ROMs? I could find loads in xda yet need the best.(Yes! it depends on person)
Thnx!!!

HERE try my custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466917
the procedure are in there too and if u follow it precisely should be no problem
I followed the guide to S-OFF but i got "FAILED TO ROOT " message.
So I followed HTC dev steps to unlock bootloader. Now my device got unlocked yet S-ON since HTCdev procedure allows to unlock only certain features.
What to do next??
appreciate any help???
Current ROM on my device is stock v1.52.720.3 and HBOOT as 1.18.0000
I guess here is the problem, when can I expect an updated Revolutionary?

BEFORE you do anything make sure you read, read and re-read:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
BE CAREFUL, it's easy to brick the phone if you don't read and understand, especially if you start applying Firmware updates required for ICS. A few folks have managed to get the latest firmware applied and removed S-OFF, this is a problem as the revolutionary.io method to S-OFF won't work with the later Firmware versions.
Make sure you read the guides before you start, I can't stress this enough.
S-OFF switches off the security flag. (REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DO MOST THINGS)
Custom Recovery (e.g. CWM or 4EXT) allows you to install custom ROMs and other components.
The Custom ROMs are generally smaller in size and faster that the stock HTC one. You can also install different kernels allowing you to increase the CPU speed, e.g. 1.2GHz to 1.7GHz in some cases.
Another benefit is that you can use Titanium to backup and recover components of the ROM, data and apps. Another benefit is the ability to use nandroid ackup/recovery. Nandroid is a complete phone backup whereas Titanium is at a more granular level.
Before you do any of the above, do the following:
Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and make a note of the 'Software version' - this is the MOST important thing you need to make a note of.
Once you have that number, post back here so we can advise if an RUU is available to you for warranty purposes
Custom ROMs - better than stock

As abhishek89 has succeeded installing a custom ROM I hope he doesn't mind me asking a few questions in his tread.
I'm a beginner when it comes to custom ROM's and everything that has something to do with it. But I am interested in trying it out, just afraid of bricking my device .
So I hope you don't mind offering me some information EddyOS as i've seen your advice around the forum is always helpful!
I've looked up a few numbers and was wondering if I could proceed doing some things,

As abhishek89 has succeeded installing a custom ROM I hope he doesn't mind me asking a few questions in his tread.
I'm a beginner when it comes to custom ROM's and everything that has something to do with it. But I am interested in trying it out, just afraid of bricking my device .
So I hope you don't mind offering me some information EddyOS as i've seen your advice around the forum is always helpful!
I've looked up a few numbers and was wondering if I could proceed doing some things,
Android version: 2.3.4
HTC Sense version: 3.0
Softwarenumber: 1.50.206.1
I hope you don't mind! and if you need any more information regarding my device please ask!
Thanks,
Wapstra

cheers, have a good day..
Thank you for writing such a quick reply!
I used an app called Cid Getter and it says that my CID is [CID is: ]: [O2___001]
I bought my phone in The Netherlands tho, so I don't know how the O2 got there, but I guess it's not a big deal ?
I've read trough most of the information about S-Off, Unlocking, Permanent Root, Clockwork etc. And I was just wondering if you could give me a ''go'' on starting all that stuff ? Sorry for asking that so many times!
So looking at my CID and Software information I can start S-Off and continue trough the rest of the tutorial ?
Android version: 2.3.4
HTC Sense version: 3.0
Softwarenumber: 1.50.206.1
CID O2___001

I have rooted two Sensations, the first via Revolutionary.io (only works up to HBOOT 1.18.0000) and the Juopunutbear on a replacement (under warranty, screen just stopped working one day nada to do with S-OFF).
The Juopunutbear method works just a bit frustrating on getting the timing right with the paper clip. Read up on it, it really does work and seems to work well.
I would thoroughly recommend getting S-OFF onto your phone, makes life sooooo much easier.
