Try the latest version of SuperOneClick with the zergRush option. With a date of Aug 2011 on the hboot, it might be old enough that SuperOneClick might work.

Does not seem to work :

Unlock using HTCDEV, then flash a recovery of choice and then root using it.
Maybe you could temproot (without using HTCdev), maybe someone else could show you how to do that.

awaiting for some gurus to assist with the temproot so that I can do a TI backup .. thanks

I have exactly the same HBOOT details on my Desire S, which I purchased SIM free from Carphonewarehouse in the UK.
First you need to 'unlock' it. The easiest way is to use HTCdev unlock bootloader at
http://htcdev.com/bootloader
Register and follow the steps. The Desire S is not listed so choose 'All other supported models' at the bottom of the list.
When it tells you to download the Android SDK, don't ! Instead download and extract AndroidControl v1.3.1 which is explained at the following link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049115
When you extract it it will create a folder. Inside you will find the three files/applications that you need to complete the rest of the steps, ie adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and fastboot.exe.
On submitting the details you will get the unlock_code.bin sent to your email address. Then just follow the rest of the steps and the phone will be unlocked.
Recheck the HBOOT screen and it should now show as Unlocked. However it will still show S-ON. I haven't figured the rest out yet.
I have come from a Samsung Galaxy 3 i5800 where once your phone is unlocked you can flash a custom pre-rooted ROM with ODIN.
I can't figure out what the flashing tool for HTC phones is. Anyone help?

Thanks , man. I am still surprised it's a lot of work to do a root .....

Well, HTC seem to be very helpful on their site in providing the means to unlock the bootloader so that "users can customise their phones".
I am not sure what all this S-OFF and S-ON is all about. If it stopped users customising their phones then surely HTC would also provide the means to S-OFF the phone? So what is the advantage/need to S_OFF?
I am bit confused and the FAQs don't seem to help. My phone is unlocked but still S-ON. Surely I just need to root it now with Superoneclick?

You need Security-OFF to flash hboot (bootloader) or different version of radio.
With htcdev bootloader unlock you gain the freedom to modify the Recovery, Kernel and System.

yes this should work

Tried Superoneclick and the same happens as described above. It gets so far and then stops.
Tried Revolutionary and it starts and then says "Hboot 2.00.0002 not yet supported".
Gingerbreak doesn't appear to support 2.00.002 either.
I guess the latest Desire S can't be rooted yet by an exploit.
If HTC says unlocking the bootloader enables me to install a custom ROM, then how do I do it? Do I use a program and if so which one, or do I load a zimage onto the SD card and do it that way?
Also I can't find SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL mentioned in the STOCK ROMs. Does anyone know who PVT is intended for? Europe, India etc etc ? If I do intall a custom ROM I want to be able to flash back to a Stock ROM.
Sorry for asking so many questions.
bjlabuk

There are sticky guides that will give you all the info.
Hint (as already mentioned above): htcdev unlock allows you to:
1) flash custom recovery
2) flash custom rooted /all of them are/ ROM with the new custom recovery
3) flash the Kernel of the new custom ROM
4) be a happy rooted user

Thanks, I was reading all the info for noobies you refer to, but am still confused. Guess the HTC is alot more complicated than my previous Samsung Galaxy 3 which I rooted and flashed custom ROMs to numerous times without problem.
I will keep reading!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390496&page=3
Hope this helps. also keep in mind that this only roots, does not s-off ur phone so the rom flashing process is a little more tricky but the solution is also mentioned in the development forums
LE: also, to achieve s-off this might come in handy as it downgrades your hboot and then i guess u can use revolutionary or any other tool to s-off.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318919
After you are s-off go here for instructions on how to reflash the engineering hboot 2.00.0002
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236890
Please read the threads carefully and ask when something is not clear as an unrooted phone is always better than a bricked one. i know that it seems complicated as s**t but it really isn't. if you are attentive and follow the given instructions everything should be fine.
Good luck!

Thanks,
I have followed the first link and my phone is now rooted, but still S-ON, as you say.
I will read the other links.
Thanks again

noob CWD mistake

Ok, I need a little help. I wanted to flash Android Revolution HD 6.0.1(ICS 4.0.3) on my HTC Sensation (T-mobile USA). I was using this tutorial:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300. After I got S-Off to work I began to flash CWD. I made the mistake of copying the wrong PG58IMG.zip file over. Instead of CWD it was the updated ICS firmware. Now I'm stuck with HBOOT 1.23.0000, no CWD, no root. Where should I go from here? Should I try to fix the HBOOT or try to flash CWM another way. Do I need to use ADB? Here is a pic of what I'm working with.

Hi,
You could try to get hboot 1.17 HERE back on your phone.
Then try to finish the s-off process.

so how would I get HBOOT 1.17.0000 back on my phone since I get an error every time I try to flash it through a PG58IMG.zip file? Any links to tutorials I missed?

Hi,
Place the 1.17 PG58IMG.zip on the root of your sd card using a card reader.
Make sure you do a MD5 checksum of the zip(google it)
Power down the phone,or remove the battery.
Power on holding down volume - and power button.
Let the update go through.
When it finishes,go back in to ROM and delete the PG58IMG.zip.
If you cannot get into ROM,remove the card and use card reader in PC.
You should then be able to carry on "Revolutionary".

Ooo you should be s-off still even after your did IMG.zip
if you completed the s-off before the you flashed the ICS then your s-off should still be there it wont show but its there, if you can try then IMG.zip that has the hboot 1.17

I did that. I'm not that much a noob. That is the problem I was asking in the first place. I cannot update that way. It says "Update Fail" on the screen. Also, the phone is S-OFF, didn't even flash the rom yet. Thanks for your help so far.

Ok I see the picture cause its saying incorrect phone model there is a pdimg.zip that will put your cid to 11111 once that done you should be able to.use and pdimg.zip

Ok, so where would I find that?

Ok, I had to use HTC dev tools to unlock bootloader, then use adb tools to ensure cid was 11111111. Then flashed bootloader back to 1.17.0000. Thanks for the guidance. Was more rewarding to figure somethings out instead of being guided through every step.

It is not mentioned in the firmware topic, but it seems important to do SuperCID before flashing the new firmware in case of problems. I've seen this problem elsewhere on this forum.
But it's nice to know that there is still a solution even if you do not have SuperCID.

if you want to flash a rom you should first get your phone s-off with revolutionairy
just download the program, let it do what it has to and then let it flash clockworkmod recovery
then you can put the .zip of your rom on your sd card and flash it with the "install zip from sdcard" option in clockworkmod

Yeah, more info please, i have no idea what you did to your phone so give details.
It's pretty silly thinking someone can help you if you don't give details of your phone currently and every thing you did you it.

as far as i remember - yes, but cm 10 did not provide separate boot.img or instructions about it.

You have to flash it separately since you are s-on. There should be a boot.img in the rom's zip, extract it and flash via fastboot

oh yes yes, i only used cm10 as a base rom, something clean to wake this phone up now what i will do is supercid, s-off and then go for something like maximus hd

It can be tough to supercid for you. Hboot 2.15 is a little problematic cause it has write protection. I hope you can do it. You shouldn't forget to enable root access to adb from developer options or you won't be able to use adb.

S-OFF

If you use rummrunner.us to S-OFF you wont need supercid.
I used it and it worked fine. You might need to experiment with the ROM.
Some aren't compatible, but you will only use it for the S-OFF.
Hope this helps you :good:

Lol i did it! its now SUPERCID and S-OFF with Hboot 2.15
it was not easy... i did first supercid with hex editing trick, was hard to pull the special file, but i did some actions with manual pulling by recovery and build in file manager, but i managed to change and push back in with adb shell su.
the s-off part was the hardest. i tryed first rumrunner 0.5.0, dint worked, then moonshine 3.16 - dint worked, got error pretty quick, then i did soffbin3 method - no luck, but it might did some shanges in system anyways. Then, i did revone method by chmoding and sending revone commands with adb shell su. it did something but failed, but i told myself - hey, its still s-on, but maybe now i did some changes to the system anyways and now rumrunner will do is job more easily, well, here is what happened: i actually laughed my ass off reading this lol

[Q] HTC HBOOT 1.09 Upgrade With S-On?

Hello everyone! So here's the deal..
I recently bought an unlocked HTC One XL, which came installed with TWRP and AOKP. I noticed that the device performance was really slow and decided to erase some things. Problem is I deleted the ROM + Recovery. I have tried multiple times to install both recovery and image files. I know how to transfer files using fastboot, but there are a couple of problems:
1.) When I type in "adb devices" it doesn't say 'device not recognized' but instead it shows the apparent list of devices - which my XL is not in. This elevates the problem because I cannot just push files through adb, instead I am stuck on sending files through fastboot every single time.
2.) I have sent recovery.img's and my phone is stuck in "bootloop" - it just turns off and on in the same screen. When I try to access recovery from bootloader, this exact same problem of repetition happens. I can't change the state of the S-On.
3.) I'm still fairly new when it comes to ROM installation, but I wouldn't consider myself a complete retard either when it comes to this.

I don't think I bricked my device, though I might of have softbricked it. I know I messed up by deleting TWRP + AOKP, but I knew that it was (should've been) just as easy as flashing the files back into the phone. If anyone can help me by possibly providing ROMs and recovery files that actually work on boot it would be greatly appreciated.
** Update
I managed to install TWRP = Progress

I would suggest flashing sense 5 stock rom first ..That would get ur adb working n then go for s-off before proceeding further
It worked for me earlier

Firstly, you can't just delete the recovery, it doesn't work like that. Anyway, looks like you got TWRP installed again do all you need to do now is install a ROM and away you go. Once you have a ROM installed you can use the phone as normal, but it's pretty strongly suggested you get s-off.

The problem is I'm having a bit of trouble finding a ROM and getting S-OFF. I have looked up countless guides and I'm either doing something wrong when I follow guidelines, or they just aren't working.
Using firewater method I get an error the file "not being in directory" when it is in the exact same ADB folder.
Also another thing, if I just get a ROM that support HBOOT 1.09, can I install it with S-ON?

You should be able to install any Sense ROM with your current hboot. Aosp ROMs will require a firmware upgrade though which requires s-off. Trust me, you're gonna want s-off in the long run.
Exactly which ROMs have you tried? What errors are you getting upon installation?
Please note: while Sense ROMs will install, they will not run properly without a firmware upgrade (which requires s-off).

Please note: while Sense ROMs will install, they will not run properly without a firmware upgrade (which requires s-off).

I tried installing the most recent CyanogenMods and ended up stopping because of HBOOT. I then tried installing AOKP most recent ROMs for my device - from their website.
I'm currently installing Sense 5, I'm following all the rules that HTC Support says.

Don't worry about HTC support, their rules don't really apply to modified phones. Just read my Evita FAQ thread and my How-To Guide For Beginners thread, both links are in my signature.

Gotcha man, thanks a bunch! I stumbled onto a problem though, How do I enable USB Debugging through TWRP? Using Rumrunenr it says i have to enable it. It says "Debugging On? Latest Drivers?" So yeah.

You can't, you can only enable that when booted into Android. So first you need to install a ROM, then you can get s-off. So you're gonna need to install a Sense ROM purely to get s-off, then you can upgrade your firmware and flash whatever you like.

Rumrunner says that? Don't use Rumrunner, try the Facepalm method instead, it's much less temperamental.
Facepalm S-off

Alright this is really frustrating now. I'm getting this error when I'm trying to flash Sturge's Stock Sense 5 ROM. If it's a USB Debugging Problem then how am I supposed to flash it into the SDcard? Should I try pushing it through adb?

That isn't how you flash a ROM. Did you not read the threads in my signature like I suggested?

What I did is just copy and pasted the zip into the Sd card and just installed it from recovery. I've got most of it working timaaa, I get fine signal over WiFi but I'm not getting 3g. Any idea? I've got the Apn settings fine

If you're not getting any data signal, I'd revisit your APN settings, triple check them, they're usually the culprit.
