Help installing Endymion - *** Unlocked ***, HBOOT 2.00.002, S-ON

Hi,
I am looking at installing the Endymion ROM however I haven't had much luck following any of the beginner guides and was wondering if anyone can help me through the process.
My phone says this on the boot screen:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
I believe I need to downgrade my HBOOT and then S-OFF before being able to install any ROM, however I cant find a guide that worked for my phone.
I was able to UNLOCK the device via HTCDev.
Please help.

Just flash the rom like any other then, extract boot.img from endymion and flash it using fastboot.
fastboot flash boot /pathtoyour/boot.img

@Kearns
Then you didn't do enough reading.... No matter how you cut it, jumping in without a firm understanding is dangerous.
Sooo you can downgrade still (follow the downgrade threads again) or carry on with your HTCdev unlocked phone..... and flash a recovery (don't forget about the boot.img)

Real issues with RUU update

OK, here's the skinny:
Win7Ulti 64bit
2x Desire S (one orange branded, one stock)
I have tried updating both from the official RUU from HTC both stall copying the update to the phone and after an hour or so, pulling the cable drops to the bootloader.
I have since unlocked the Orange phone from the HTCDev site, still no joy. I've also tried the PG88IMG zip, which is found, loads then drops back to the bootloader.

Any ideas where I can go from here?

I'm assuming it's my hboot version, everyone seems to be talking about 2.00.2002. Going to try updating it.

As you are S-ON, use my guide for downgrade and use your preferred RUU. If you have followed it correctly, you shouldn't have any problems.

Err, not sure what I should be downgrading, as I'm already on 2.00.0002. Should I be going to lower than this still?

You don't need to downgrade anything if you are using the latest released RUU.
Your bootloader does need to be locked which yours is not.

Let me clear what I've said: you can follow my guide (downgrading guide), but instead of using a downgrade RUU. Use the one that you prefer, may it be the latest RUU (upgrade your hboot, rom, etc), or old (downgrade your hboot, rom, etc). The guide should help you successfully RUU your phones.
Afaik, the PG88IMG.zip update method is only applicable for S-OFF devices. I may need to be corrected here.

K, will try locking again and running the RUU.

RUU
Still just hanging sending the update to the phone; pretty sure this is a comms issue now, but not sure where to go from here. Will have another bash tomorrow.

Is it good HBOOT?

Sorry for stupid questions, but it's my first HTC phone.
I have following info in bootloader:
Code:
locked
saga pvt ship s-off rl
hboot-2.00.0002
radio-3822.10.08.04_m
emmc-boot

Is it fully working S-OFF unlocked bootloader? I don't understand "locked S-OFF". What can I unlock more? Do you recommend me a downgrade? If yes, why?
What is it ENG bootloader? I've read that it's normal, stock HBOOT, but others describes it as unlocked, S-OFF HBOOT with more commands.
I want to use every ROM at xda without any restrictions.
Thanks for any help.

What you asking is similar with my recent question, you can read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940982
AFAIK when you S-OFF you can flash any ROM for DS easily without need a pc or laptop to flash boot image in case you are S-ON because it will done when you flashing a ROM via recovery.

[Q] How to Root Unrooted S-OFF HBOOT 2.00.002 android 4.0.4

Hi all
Ive read alot of threads about rooting and know the basic bits as I used to own htc desire and rooted it via unrevoked.
Now i have Htc desire s with android 4.04 and S-Off after updating manually through my PC.
What additional steps do I need to take to root the device please as I am already S-OFF for some strange reasons after updating .
I have watched some videos as well but still not clear if I need to do something extra after unlocking bootloader from htcdev.com

Thanks for your help and support.

First you need to find out if you have SuperCID or not. The fastboot command to show your current CID is:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
If it shows up as 11111111 you have SuperCID, if not you need to get SuperCID first.
Once you have SuperCID you can get s-off, you'll find that thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071
Once you have s-off you can update your firmware, you'll find the download and instructions in the first post of this thread:

Thanks a ton for your response. I just verified my CID its CID: CWS_001. Please suggest further course of action to get Super CID.

Looks like you've flashed the 2.15 firmware so the Beastmode kernel isn't necessary.
