[Q] How to root 2.3.5 sense 3.0,but just root

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).

[Q] Help, boot loop here?

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.

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..

HELP on rooting htc sensation

hello ive been trying to root my phone using "Thesnakex" guide and ive gotten to the last point to root im on point 9 and im stuck i dont know how to do it. can anyone help. thank you. il copy the steps bellow. im stuck on 9
Step By Step Method:
1. Copy the SupperSU.zip file to your SD root.
2. Extract the HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 to the Disktop.
3. Connect your Mobile and make sure you're in the charging mood and your check USB development or debugging option.
4. Run the One X.exe application.
5. Install the HTC drivers.
****If you unlocked your Sensation's bootloader from HTCdev.com then skip step 6 ****
6. Register in HTCdev.com website, choose Unlock Bootloader, choose your device and follow the instructions. ~This May Void your Warranty~
7. Rename the CWM recovery to CWM5827, then copy it to HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit folder/Data folder/recoveries and replace the one inside.
8. Flush the CWM recovery using the toolkit, horray you installed CWM.
9. From Commands choose Boot into recovery and from CWM flush the SuperSU.zip.
10. Congratulations, You're Now ROOTED .

there might be option in the tool kit ..for you to go to CWM (i think that is "Boot into Recovery")
once you enetered cwm ..choose install zip from sdcard ->select install from sdcard-> and select the copied supersu.zip that you have done in step 1
once done
reboot

thank you for your fast reply.

Hi,
I am sure it is better to recommend a toolkit specific to the Sensation.
Look HERE
Disregard the "4G" bit.
It is good for all Sensations (except XL).

Hi,
1.27 is 3.32 firmware
1.29 is 3.33 firmware
That is for all Sensations (except XL).
The main difference is the radio you get with each one.

Yeah that's because you don't flash the boot.img file (Inside ROM.zip) from fastboot.
Extract boot.img from ROM.zip and flash it via fastboot. This applies when you install any ROM if you're S-ON.
Also, Use TWRP 2.3.3.0 and Viper ROM will not flash in blue color.

The CM downloads you referred to does not hold any download for Ville (HTC One S S4) or VilleC2 (HTC One S S3). Which one did you download?

Not the correct ROM. Download for the HTC One S from development section.
