Hello everyone,
I'm new to sensation and coming from the mytouch espresso threads. I am familiar with rules and yes I've searched but my question entitles a little more specific detail.
Basically I'm without pc for the moment and can't s-off for the time being.
But I still wanted to flash cwm recovery and gain root access. The guides in development sticky are great and explain everything but here's my problem.
I downloaded "PG58IMG.zip" to the root of my sd and boot into hboot. Bootloader loads the zip file (i see the blue progress bar on the right) then immediately goes back to hboot menu. It never asked me to "push 'UP' if you want to update".
No custom recovery, no root.
So my question is, do I need to s-off for bootloader to update recovery?
This wasn't the case for espresso but I know that's a totally different device and hboot.
Any help or advice is appreciated.

S-OFF in this case allows the Flashing of Files(Security Off) and SuperCID allows the flashing of ANY ROM to the device regardless of the carrier. So without S-OFF, PG58IMG.zip will NEVER be able to be flashed.
If you ever want to try ARHD's 6.2.x XE/ 6.2.x ROM, Do follow my Noob's guide to Flashing it! It's helpful! It can be found here!
Cheers!

Does anyone know if Revolutionary does Supercid or should I use ADB?
simply flashing a ROM doesn't get you SUPERCID if that's what you are asking.. if that's not what your asking, then my bad.

Revolutionary makes your phone S-OFF. After S-OFF boot into bootloader.
Then isuue the following command to write superCID
" fastboot oem writecid 11111111 "
and then
""fastboot getvar cid""
It should return 11111111.
Now "fastboot reboot" to reboot your devices.
Remember to perform this, you must have working adb setup and fastboot binary.

Hi all
Is it me, cuz im not seeing the 'desire s' listed on the htcdev.com as an option to unlock the boot loader?
All I want to do is root my stock Rom. Not interested in trying any other roms.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
It's not listed but it works. Just select the bottom option "Other Supported Devices" and follow the procedure
Does this procedure get around s-on also ?
Concerns me why they haven't listed it.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
No, your device will be s-on, but the bootloader will be unlocked. It's almost the same.
I have no clue why they haven't listed it either.....
Can you still root with s-on ?

After you unlock bootloader via htcdev.com, yes you can

Look for SuperOneClick in here, it will easily root your rom
Sent from somewhere around the globe using XDA app on my HTC Desire S
I unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com (operation was OKAY).
SuperOneClick 2.2 hangs at step 7.
I'm guessing that you have a hboot 2.00...
When u used HTC.dev to unlock your HTC desire s you need to Install cwm or 4ext and then you can flash any Rom you like.
After flashing your HTC with the new Rom you need to fastboot the boot.img to your device cause your device is not S-off.
An other option would be downgrading. Do a few searches and you will be fine.
Otherwise post back and I'll help you out.

Hello,
Thank you for your help.
Yes I have the HBOOT 2.00.002 - Android 2.3.5
In the post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390496
"dtronics" suggests 2 operations to do for s-offing for the Desire S :
1 - unlocking the bootloader (htcdev.com)
2 - using SuperOneClick 2.2
The second treatment hangs at 7th step.
Without downgrading the hboot (2.00.002):
If you have a link to a simple and complete documentation to doing s-OFF.
Thank you

What's better to do if I want to flash roms, htcdev unlock or S-OFF? I mean, do I have to do both, or just one, and what's better?
And what should I use, EXT4 recovery or ClockworkMod Recovery? Tnx
I would choose downgrading if necessary and S-OFF. The main disadvantages of the htcdev method are the loose of warranty and the need to flash manually the boot image every time you change the rom.
I personally like 4ext but CWM is also very good.
Next time you need some info gry to search the forum, this things were allready discussed.
As a mather of fact i don't think there's a thing left undiscussed in here.

boot into fastboot and run the command
"fastboot getvar cid"
if says CWS__001, and not 11111111, and you haven't previously unlocked your bootloader before. You may not be able to root.
Did you take an OTA or flash a ROM?
I bought with an OTA
