[Q] Rooting HTC DESIRE S 2.0.0002

Hi,
I was wondering how you would root a htc desire s hboot version 2.0.0002 with S-ON. Another question I had was on htcdev where I would like to unlock the bootloader on my phone the 'S' model isn't listed. Would it come under the desire or other phone models? Thanks

take other phone models since its a desire s and not a plain desire.
if you got your bootloader unlocked u need to downgrade the bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318919
and continue with
http://revolutionary.io/
i didnt tried anythign of this yet but thats what id like to do with my desire s as soon as i got enough time
if youre happy with s-on you could go for the zergRush thing for temproot right after youre done with unlocking the bootloader with htcdev.
hope its correct. ive just started reading yesterady in here
€ or search for the superoneclick. same thing as the zergRush but much more easier to use

OK Thanks For Your Help

is it dangerous to do this?

im no pro in flashing and all this stuff but as long as you follow the instructions there should not be any prob. if theres any high risk in bricking the device or anything there will be an extra warning i guess.
oh and one big nogo i learned by my friends phone.... never ever pull the battery
and you lose the warranty by unlock with htcdev.

Ok thanks is it reversable when the bootloader has been unlocked? Thanks

I have now unlocked the bootloader so how do i root now?

if you just need root, check this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390496
if u want s-off u need to downgrad the bootloader and go for revolutionary like i posted befor
€ and always edit your post if u need to add something . dont double post like you did
u just can re-lock your bootloader with htcdev but u cant go back to the normal locked. not 100%sure about this

how do i sim-unlock now i am rooted? and what is the point of installing a rom? Thanks

The point of installing a rom is that they can be smoother and more customisable, they also get rid of a lot of the branding **** that comes with the pjone.
As for sim-unlock this has nothing to do with s-off or routing, you can pay to get it unlocked from ebay, Idid it yesterday and it cost me £3.99, so very reasonable.

would this be ok? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNLOCK-CO...ultDomain_3&hash=item3cc0e2889b#ht_3192wt_952
and what is a goldcard? I am new to rooting

Looks ok, I used this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unlock-Co...ssories_RL&hash=item2c611a04e1#ht_2693wt_1344

what is a goldcard? Thanks

goldcard allows you to flash RUU files with a different CID to your device.

what would you say is the best rom? Thanks

How to root HTC Desire S Hboot 2.00.0002

Hi guys!
I did some research on how to root the Desire S with Hboot 2.00.0002 and I read that many had problems rooting the phone. I had the same problem since the revolutionary method doesn't support hboot 2.00.0002. This made the process a bit harder.
But here is what I did to root my Desire S:
1. Unlocked bootloader using htcdev.com
(I know that Desire S is not listed but if you use "Desire" it will work.)
2. Downloaded Superoneclick v2.3
(This version is included with zergRUSH and Superuser.)
I connected the phone to the computer in USB Debugging mode and opened Superoneclick. Pressed the "Root" button and the process began. After a minute or two the phone was rooted.
The only problem with this method is that the phone is still S-on. But I think you can flash custom roms and so.
I hope this will help you guys! Good luck

I don't know what the "Begin Unlock Bootloader" button on http://htcdev.com/bootloader/ is meant to do, but I tried clicking it (AFTER logging in) in 3 different browsers and it did nothing.
---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------
OK, the answer is that if you access the page at http://htcdev.com/bootloader/ the button doesn't work but if you access it at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ it does. Terribly designed JavaScript!

Looks like manu users are facing this problem (after going through SuperOneClick website), but found no solution.
Currently I have unlocked by Bootloader with HTC-dev, and I want to root my stock rom and back it up before trying any other custom rom.
Any help or suggestions on this will be highly appreciated. This is my first post in xda-developers hope everyone will be kind to me :fingers-crossed:

If you're just interested in getting an ICS on your device then you can try this steps as you've already unlocked the bootloader the HTC-Dev way:

You can use any ROM as per your choice, my personal preference is Fallout:

Note for anyone who can help me: Please let me know if there is a way to ROOT HTC Desire S (HBOOT 2.00.0002) HTC-Dev unlocked, so that I can backup my stock ROM first before trying out the custom ROMs. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Install a custom recovery like 4EXT in the guide you posted and from there flash superuser. I've attached the file you need.

Hello everyone, you may have heard of my unlocking tool for windows. It unlocks HTC devices and i am slowly but surely adding support for new devices. The sensation happened to be next on the list. I will be adding it to the official GUI app once this is confermed, so for now it is a batch file that needs testing. If you dont trust me for any reason, just open up the zip and view whats inside the batch file, i have nothing to hide Please report back any errors, not just "it dont work" I will ask the mods to look at those types of posts.

unlock sim? Bootloader or else? Please provide more details

Bootloader without voiding the warranty (htc voids warranty apon unlock in countries that dont forbid it eg USA) original thread located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576844

ok if unlock hboot 1.27 is very good news for sensation users but i can't help because i already have unlocked bootloader. Thanks for your work

in theory this will unlock any device in which the s-off method's root works. Jupno bear i think its called? I can change root methods, but the method inside is definitively solid enough to unlock with root.

Thanks for wanting to include the Sensation with your tool simonsimons34 we can always use good utilities to make unlocking and modding our devices easier. But just to let you know the Sensation already has two great tools. Here is kgs1992's Super Utitlity and the article featuring it just yesterday in the Portal. The Sensation also has the HTC Sensation 4G All-In-One Toolkit by hasoon2000 that is stickied in the Sensation Android development forum.

This does something the others cant :/ which is why i included it. This works for any hboot revision and any rom as long as you have root (or can get it with the method i icluded -thanks jcase for finding it) This Unlocks the phone WITHOUT the need to contact htcdev and submit a token. Sure it doesnt S-off or anything, but for new phones or phones which there are no ways to install roms except by contacting HTCDEV.com and voiding your warranty, this is a life saver. Just check out what it does before you say its already been done please. I mean no offence to you, just however am annoyed you posted saying its been done before you looked into what it does

Sorry man I did not mean to offend. I can not actually use your tool because I am already S-off with Revolutionary Hboot 1.17.1111. I downloaded your tool and yes this is awesome that your tool unlocks the bootloader. But did you actually look at the links I gave you? the Super Utitlity allows you to use Juopunutbear S-off without having to use HTC Dev Unlock first by utilizing the download from Unlimited.io (scroll to the bottom) wich is the website for the Juopunutbear S-off and it supports all Hboot versions, . So even though the Super Utility does not unlock the bootloader forsay, still the ability to not have to use HTC Dev has been done. But at the same time it has not been done. I am in no way trying to criticize you or your tool. What you have done is great and amazing work and most definitely has and deserves a place her. This tool will only make things easier for some users if not all. I just want to keep the facts staight is all.

It's an at&t phone, the at&t CID is blocked by htcdev so you need to get SuperCID before being able to unlock the bootloader. Click the Everything Evita link in my signature and bookmark that thread, it's a resource thread that contains everything you'll ever need. Once you're in that thread navigate to the root section and find the 3.18 root method, this is the only method that'll work with your current firmware. Follow the instructions in that thread and then you can unlock your bootloader.
Once you have an unlocked bootloader you can install TWRP recovery which will allow you to root your stock ROM or install custom ROMs. If you need instructions on this click the How-To Guide For Beginners link in my signature, it's a thread I put together detailing some basic operations. If you have any questions feel free to ask in my Noob Friendly Q&A + General Help thread.

You need to use the correct root method that corresponds to your firmware version in order to change your CID. Trying other methods you randomly Google around for is not going to work.
Use my Index thread, look under "ROOT" and find the method that matches your firmware number (3.18).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
There is not one-click method that works for firmware 3.18. Trying methods that don't match your firmware number is a waste of time.
Also, when asking for help, you need to be absolutely specific as to what you have tried, and what you haven't (including the result such as error messages, etc). If you don't give us specifics, it makes it even harder for us to help you.
Hasoon2000's all-in-one toolkit should work on 3.18. But if this is the one you tried, you haven't told us what happens when you try to use it.

To make it easier, here's the link to the 3.18 root method:

You'll still want to bookmark the Everything Evita thread linked in my signature.

When I try the all in one kit gave the error of waiting for the device, updated the adv drivers and still dosent show the CID change
In htcdev give me the MID not allowed error
In most cases, all in one method, Jose method, motoXchopper method dosent seems to work what I'm going to try is to uninstall all the drivers for HTC one x and install again

What the heck is "Jose method"? Again, I think your are fumbling around with methods that aren't even intended for your device or firmware version.
Do you have a working adb environment? What is the response if you use the command:
adb devices

Come on, you of all people shouldn't be giving attitude to this guy telling him he hasn't searched enough. You've asked me multiple questions that could have been answered if you had searched for the answer, including how to unlock your bootloader, that's kinda like the pot calling the kettle black.
It's easy for you to say unlocking the bootloader is an easy process once you've done it. The fact is that it isn't that simple for someone who is unaware that there are different methods for different firmware versions.

The error that gives me still is the same mid not allowed
Still having problems, but someone told me that it is first to root and then change the CID to superCID 1111111 and then run a all in one program to unlock
Is it thruth?

You've been told quite a few times now that you can't unlock your bootloader until you have SuperCID. You need to use the 3.18 root method that I linked you to a few posts ago. Forget about the toolkits, just go to that thread and follow the instructions.

Ok I had the same issue several months ago. I have AT&t One x as well. I noticed I could unlock the bootloader and S-OFF when my phone was carrier unlocked. I used the roadrunner method I believe (it's been awhile). I am certain Timaaaa knows what he is saying, but if you can't find a solution, that may be your other answer as well. Worked for me.

Roadrunner? I don't think such a method exists for this device. You can't get s-off without root, you can't get root without an unlocked bootloader, you can get an unlocked bootloader without SuperCID, the only way to get SuperCID on his firmware is to use the 3.18 root method. Hence the reason that's been stated over and over again in this thread. It's the only solution. Carrier unlocking has absolutely nothing to do with the bootloader unlock / root process.

Probably is referring to the Rumrunner s-off method. And yes, carrier (SIM) unlock has nothing to do with bootloader unlock and/or s-off. Probably just a coincidence that that person was able to bootloader unlock after doing SIM unlock.

Thank you very much for the help now I have it everydone unlock, custom recovery, root and s-off.
I was having problems with faceoff to s-off but nothing big
