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).
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.

btw, i thought it wasnt anything major coz it was just gaining an s off n then installing recovery.. then this happened.. i dont know what went wrong.. hmm
so i shall proceed with installing 6.3.0 since its like the only option i have left i believe?

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..

No it is not rooted.
To permanently root your Sensation
1. Download the file su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip from here: DOWNLOAD
2. Copy su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip to your SD card root folder (main folder of your memory card)
3. Start clockworkmod recovery (instructions below. See To Start Clockwork recovery)
4. BACKUP YOUR ROM USING CWM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ROOT!
5. Navigate to "Backup & Restore" using the Volume Down button and press select (power button to select) then select "Backup"
6. Select "install zip from sdcard" after backing up
7. Then select "Choose zip from sdcard"
8. Then select "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip"
9. Then select "Yes - install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" to confirm
10. Then go back
11. Then reboot.
12. You're rooted!
the problem is that i cant get CWM on my phone, i've downloaded recovery then renamed to PG58IMG.zip then went into HBOOT but no message asking if i want to install
it sais: checking then the screen turns black and back on, then it sais parsing and then nothing happens

Hi Guys,
It's propberly caused by the TS provider "T-Mobile" there are some HTC Sensation's out there who are "T-Mobile Branded"!!
If that's the case, the TS must take some more action to get root acces, I know for a fact that there is a thread here on XDA about it, I think it's this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107&highlight=t-mobile+branded+root but don't know for sure!
the fun is, that for that tool, you need root access as well. -.-'' i think im getting stonewalled here
im pretty sure my phone isn't simlocked, because the phone and simcard were put together seperatly so it's not an t-mobile device
does this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759
have the same function as CWM? a.k.a should i try rooting with 4EXT?
yes victory, i think the problem was that there was an old backuyp of CWM which might have been interfering
Hello everybody,
I have the same problem. I unlock my sensation with htcdev and now i'm unlocked with s-on.
When I copy the PG58IMG.zip to root of memory card and I reboot into bootloader it starts a checking on the zip, then it continues with "parsing PG58img" and returns to the main bootloader window without anything happens.
How did you succeed? Maybe I'm using the wrong img...
Thanks a lot
worked for me thanks!
check your main folder on ur SD card, and see if there is an old Clockworkmod map/backup, if so delete and then try again

did you do the second part of the the guide?
STEPS:
1.get the new root tool from root-sensation-zip
2.extract the zip
3.remove the files adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll , AdbWinUsbApi.dll (if you dont have any adb/fastboot setup dont delete these and skip step 4 )
4.copy the rest of files to the folder that you have extracted from temproot-sensation-windows.zip which you have downloaded during SOFF procedure
(if you have adb/fastboot setup then to adb folder)
5.connect your device normally (from lock screen or home screen) to pc (NOTE: avoid usb hubs and usb 3.0 ports while connecting ..just connect the device directly to pc/laptop)
6.double click on root.bat file ...wait until root is success and once success message "EVERYTHING DONE..ROOT SUCCESS...ONE FINAL REBOOT NOW" pops out without any errors...you are rooted completely

Why don't you flash 4EXT recovery manually from fastboot?

But first make sure that you have juopunutBear at the top when you go to bootloader.. Otherwise if you got locked let me know.

Use the one click root tool present in the soff guide (link in my signature)
To root the phone
(check root using root check basic application.. And if root fails (which I highly doubt it) run the one clock root again)
Edit: did you try to enter 4EXT via app? Nooo you need to go to bootloader and then select recovery from there.. And then you will enter recovery and from there you can flash custom rom
Also there is a way to say thanks in xda

sorry. your one click root tool only works on windows and im using ubuntu.
i have tried everything and afaik there just is no way to get the htc sensation xe with 1.27.0000 hboot s-off to root without either having to install windows (no option for me) .....
i found a file which would give me permanent root, but it only works for android 2.3.6......
and without root i dont need to install a custom rom. i better then stay with the original sense, i like, and wait till maybe the community finds a new method.

Dude you are completely getting it wrong here.. For custom recovery to work and to flash custom rom.. There is no requirement of root at all (heck root is a property of rom...)
When you said flash done.. I assumed it is success.. So you can easily boot to recovery and can flash a custom rom from there...
Also the bat file I had is pretty simple.. You can open it and can manually enter each command.. I could give you a Linux one.. But right now I'm on mobile
But Mark my words.. For flashing/using recovery and custom rom
. There is no f****ing requirement of root
Edit: oi you are saying your hboot Is 1.27.0000
Then you are having locked bootloader Then no way the flash of recovery via fastboot works....
Please confirm me this too.. Whether you got any error when you flashed the recovery.img (like remote not allowed)

Dude you are completely getting it wrong here.. For custom recovery to work and to flash custom rom.. There is no requirement of root at all (heck root is a property of rom...)
When you said flash done.. I assumed it is success.. So you can easily boot to recovery and can flash a custom rom from there...
Also the bat file I had is pretty simple.. You can open it and can manually enter each command.. I could give you a Linux one.. But right now I'm on mobile
But Mark my words.. For flashing/using recovery and custom rom
. There is no f****ing requirement of root
Edit: oi you are saying your hboot Is 1.27.0000
Then you are having locked bootloader Then no way the flash of recovery via fastboot works....
Please confirm me this too.. Whether you got any error when you flashed the recovery.img (like remote not allowed)

Ok. You are right. I could boot into recovery mode and flash a custom ROM from there. But why I want root? To change the clock of the CPU or to use adblock for example to only name two...
Edit: flashing recovery image gave no errors at all

Hi,
Can you get into bootloader?
If you can,then your phone is not bricked.
Try reflashing your ROM.

keep the rom zip file on your sdcard ...(root of sdcrad or at any known path)
boot into cwm
then select .."install from sdcard"
select the rom zip file
and flash it
I remember when I first unlocked my XE in preparation for rooting...it got stuck also in HTC logo. So what i did was to boot in bootloader i think, the one where you use VOL DOWN + POWER. then select master/factory reset...the advantage, all data will be wiped out but it works

Good day my dear friends,
Boring Intro------
Yesterday I was trying to root my wife's HTC Sensation which I upgraded to Official Middle East ICS 4.0.3 hboot 1.27.000 and I found this way by pure luck-----
I installed CMW and did the rooting while the device is S-ON
I'm not sure if this is a new method or was done before but I thought I'd share it to return some of your favors in this great forum.
I need to thank Mr.hasoon2000 because we will use his tol from the HTC One X forum.
Requirements:
1. Download the HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 from this link, Thanks Mr.hasoon2000 I hope you don't mind me using your tool here.
2. Download the latest CMW recovery , choose the latest for Pyramid (The Sensation) in *.img. Here is the CMW 5.8.0.9 link.
3. Download SuperSU 0.88.zip, thanks Mr.Chainfire or from this link [23.04.2012] SuperSU v0.88.
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 .

Hi,
Then I suggest you follow THIS GUIDE to install an ICS ROM
This should clear up your problem.
You do not need to do the bits you have already done.
