How to root hboot 2.00.0002

Hey guys, normally I would just lurk and avoid posting threads but I need help.
I want to root my Desire S.

When I click recovery on the bootloader screen I get taken to "Android system recovery <3e>", but when I try to apply an update through USB I get the following error message:
"Invalid operation:
reason: oem-00"
And then the phone just reboots.
If anyone can help I'd be very grateful.
Thanks.

Since you are unlocked via HTCDEV you can do...
If all you need is root then just run superoneclick, easy as that.
If you have your heart set on using recovery.... You need to flash a custom one (the stock one won't do), download clockworkmod .img and flash it in recovery.
Also if you ever choose to flash roms etc you will need a custom recovery.
If you choose to to go the custom recovery path here is a how to.
______________________________________
-Download attached file titled "android-tools.zip", it has the adb and fastboot files needed to proceed
-Extract the file to "c:\" so that the path looks like this C:\android-tools
-Install HTCDriver (Fastboot drivers) here's
-Open cmd and type "cd/"
-then type "cd android-tools"
*To test whether you have set up all the files correctly and your phone is connected correctly you can do the following;
*Plug your phone in (when plugging in select CHARGE ONLY (i.e. leave on the home screen)
*In cmd type "adb" and press enter, it should show a list of commands, then type "fastboot"and press enter, it should also show a list of commands)
*If both these commands work you have extracted the files to the right place and have setup cmd right.
*then type "adb devices"
*Should show connected phone serial if not then try get the latest HTCdrivers
-Download clockworkmod (here) for your phone and place .img in C:\android-tools folder (i.e. where the files adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll and fastboot.exe are)
*To make life easier rename the file to recovery.img
-start fastboot (boot Hboot, plug phone in "HBoot USB plug" shows once phone is plugged in and press the power button (fastboot is highlighted by default) then it says "Fastboot USB")
*(As a test to ensure you have put your phone into fastboot type "fastboot devices" in cmd, it will show your phones serial, if it shows nothing you have not put your phone into fastboot yet)
-run command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" in cmd
-then run "fastboot reboot"
NEXT - to get root
-Copy su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip to sdcard root (get latest from clockworkmod site if you wish)
-Start clockworkmod recovery (Hboot/recovery)
-Select install zip from sdcard"
-select Choose zip from sdcard
-Select copied file
-select Yes - install su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip to confirm
-Go back
-Then reboot.
All Done.

I would like to do the same thing, but mine says

Does that mean that I'm f**ked ?

@kryddan
Since you are locked and hboot 2.00.0002 you can either downgrade to an older hboot or unlock your bootloader with HTCdev (may void warranty).
Both are very well discussed here.

Downgrade sounds like going backwards. Think I'll search for HTCdev instead
It worked fine with HTCdev to unlock Ok, so it wiped the phone clean from personal data and apps, but who cares. It worked.
Thank you for your help. but go from S-ON to S-OFF seems a bit harder, without downgrade?
p.s. Have already voided my warranty. Got a new mainboard last week. d.s.

the hboot is your bootloader and manages things like partitioning your volume for system, data etc.
downgrading it will never mean going backwards.
what you could have done was downgrading hboot, s-off with revolutionary and get root with superoneklick. thats what i did (but hboot was already fine for me ) then you could install new recovery and done.
its not that hard
but since you have unlocked with htcdev anything you do with your phone will be (at least a bit) harder than with s-off.

by the way it's my fifth day on using CM7.2 but i like to try miui to see the difference.
thanks in advance.
Sent from my HTC Desire S

Yes, your Desire S is ready to get CustomRom's like a MIUI or CM.
1. You just must install or go to recovery (if you have). (power button + vol down, check "recovery" with vol buttons and press power button)
2. put zip with ROM on your SD card.
3. full wipe in recovery.
4. Install zip from SD (in recovery)
5. Copy boot.img from zip to folder with ADB & fastboot files.
6. Connect phone to PC, go to fastboot and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. done
If you don't understand write here we can help you

@Mayex.. thanks bro..:good:
So i chose the ICE DS v8.0 FINAL and successfully flashed my CM7 rom. I just don't like the geeky UI of CM so I have to go back to HTC sense. :victory:
I might try the MIUI in time.

[Q] Unable to boot into recovery

Hi all,
So I recently got a Sensation 4G that is rooted with CM 10.1 on it, but it seems to be lacking a recovery image. Whenever I try to boot into recovery using Goo or QuickBoot, it just reboots the phone. I have tried installing recoveries through Goo and 4ext recovery console but that hasn't helped.
When I boot into the bootloader it says:
Firmware 3.33
Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT - 1.27.1100
RADIO - 11.29A.3504.18_M
There is no reboot to recovery option in the bootloader. Can anyone fill me in about what I am missing here?
Thanks!

Hi,
greetings,
in the bootloader below the things you said their must options like
fastboot
recovery ......etc etc
select recovery their by pressing volume down button and power button to enter the recovery if this does not work
flash recovery vai abd and chech again,
if you cannot see still i suggest you should flash juopunutbear hboot that might solve your prob and then flash recovery again

If you manually boot into bootloader (phone off holding power and vol down) it will be the second option under fastboot.
For me whenever I use something to boot into bootloader it boots into fastboot mode which doesn't have an option for recovery.

4EXT Recovery v2.2.7 RC5
Made an backup and this works in recovery.
I tried to install the following ROMS
- CM-10.1-20130808-signed.zip
- saga_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v23.0.0_20130706-232137.zip
and
gapps-jb-20130301.zip
I have wiped data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats.
then Install from sdcard.
CM-10.1-20130808-signed.zip
gapps-jb-20130301.zip
4EXT says installation has been completed
I reboot the phone and the screen gives first the white HTC boot screen and then there is an black screen and it 'll not proceed in the booting proces.
Am i doing something wrong? (I guess so but i don't know what the problem is) I have read several rooting guides on XDA but am a bit lost in the information.:silly:
Can somobody give me an helping hand.
Many thanks

ur S-ON and not S-OFF so u must do this:
1 open the rom.zip in your pc
2 extract the boot.img
3 put the boot.img in the folder where u have the fastboot.exe
4 in this folder hold shift button on the pc keybord and right click on the mouse and select "run windows command here"
5 put your phone in fastboot mode and connect into your pc
6 in the command line opened at point 4 write
" fastboot erase cache " and do the command.
now write
"fastboot flash boot boot.img " and do the command
this must be done everytime u change rom (otherwise u can s-off your device -> search in general topic)

Thx, i'll try this tommorow.

Updated my phone from Gingerbread to Kitkat now stuck on loading screen!?

Hi I had a struggle yesterday because I know nothing about phones so I followed a guide to updating your phone, so I did it through bootloader/recovery and after installing the custom RUU it actually worked, but after loading up on the screen it shows instructions and shows that it's loading the page/phone and i thought maybe it was but it's been like that overnight so is there anyway around this? (I can get on the power off menu with restart etc but thats about it I cant x off the instructions or anything telling me the updates to the phone)

We need more info.
What guide you follow?
Bootloader info?
Hboot?
HTCDev unlock S-ON or revolutionary S-OFF?
What recovery you use?
Did you wiped all except sd?or just installed zip from sd card?
And what RUU you used(post link)?

don't think i can post links as i'm new but i used a guide off this forum called [Guide] How to root, install EXT4 recovery and custom ROM on HBOOT 2.00.0002 and the custom ROM I used is off this site too the title of the thread is called [ROM] [02-06] Primo-S - v4.1 [HTC One V port] Android 4.0.3 [Kernel 3.0]

I just read about [ROM] [02-06] Primo-S - v4.1 [HTC One V port] Android 4.0.3 [Kernel 3.0] and it works fine on HTC Desire S.
First of all it's rom not RUU. if you want to know difference read tutorials and guides here.
You have HTCDev unlocked bootloader and installed 4ext recovery.My recommendation is to flash new 4ext recovery first(touch one) that I uploaded.
Check MD5 : ADA2A56547EF258638AF94445744583B

of that zip file.
To do this follow step 3. in [Guide] How to root, install EXT4 recovery and custom ROM on HBOOT 2.00.0002 just use recovery.img from attachment down here.
And now for your problem.From what I know this is common problem on S-ON HTCDev unlocked phones.
After flashing new rom you have to flash boot.img from fastboot.
First open your PrimoS-v4.1.zip then you will see file boot.img.Extract it to C:\android-tools.Get in boot by holding power button and volume down together.Connect USB and enter fastboot. (fastboot usb)
Go to start->run-> type cmd and press enter. A command prompt will now appear.
(just like step 4 in guide)
Type:
Code:
cd c:\android-tools [press enter]
fastboot devices [press enter]
this show if your phone is connected to computer
if you get nothing you are not connetced
if you get some info like ST9212IJKL then you type
fastboot flash boot boot.img [press enter]
you will see blue loading form in right upper corner of screen
very fast but that mean you flashed boot
When all this done reboot phone and you should get your rom started.Sometimes it takes up to 10min but no more then that.
If you don't get in like this then you have to go to recovery and wipe all except sd and flash rom again and follow step 4 in guide.
Try this then tell what you got.Good luck.

Hi thanks for the reply I did a few things earlier just messing about on recovery mode and it's sorted and it didn't even wipe my phone I still have all my contacts and stuff maybe they were saved on my sd card idk but yh works perfectly now cheers for your time and help.

Hi,
I had the same problem at the beginning as I was unlocked the bootloader with HTCDEV.
If you unlocked the bootloader with HTCDEV, you should flash the boot.img manually with fastboot to get it fixed.
1). Switch off the phone and trun it on to bootloader and go to the fastboot
2). Connect the device to the pc and connect it with fastboot (CMD)
3). extract the custom firmware (.zip) file and find the boot.img file
4). copy it to the location where your fastboot.exe located at (ex: C:\sdk\platform-tools\)
then flash it with
HTML:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Hope this help you
Regards..
