[Q] How to root Desire S HBoot 2.00.002 ??

Hello,
i have HTC Desire S with HBOOT 2.00.002
is there any way to root without downgrading to HBOOT 0.98.0002 ??

There is, HTC dev unlock,
with HTC dev unlock you will need to flash the boot.img separately every time you flash a ROM...
So choice is yours...

HTC Desire S is NOT available at HTC Dev for unlock

That's because you can't read the multiple guides on this forum that say otherwise.
Try actually doing it before commenting.

Are you talking about HTC dev unlocker procss or Super One CLick??
1.I would suggest you first unlock the bootloader via HTC dev site(simple enough process)
2.Flash superuser via recovery
3.Install any rom you want through recovery flashing
4.Remember to flash boot manually after this process using the fastboot commands(Please search these forums for more info)
There and now you should be rooted and happy with a new custom rom
Please make sure you get everything right before doing something, so read all the posts in the site for the info needed.

Hi, deltateam
I just finished S-OFF-ing my Desire S, HBOOT 2.00.0002. It took me 3 days for all the reading, searching, trying and failing, etc. So I think this might be of use for you.
The link for ENG HBOOT in the method you're linking to in the first post, is outdated. So here's what I have done:
I used this method. But here is some additional info.
After completing step 8 I found that I can't root it with SuperOneClick, so I S-OFFed it with Revolutionary first. After doing this you should have a S-OFFed device with HBOOT 0.98.0000 (or 0002, depending on which RUU you chose to downgrade to).
You can now successfully root it with SuperOneClick. Do NOT restart your phone. Restarting it in Recovery is not needed.
The next step links to the same method you linked to in the first post but as I said, the link there is outdated. So I found this post. It's basically the same thing but it has ENG HBOOT attached to it and it's the same as the one from zumodrive - I compared the md5sums. :cyclops:
After completing step 10 and restarting to bootloader you should now see that you have S-OFFed ENG HBOOT 2.00.002. You may want to flash the recovery again as (most likely) Revolutionary flashed its own recovery.
Also, you can still boot the old ROM, which you used for the HBOOT downgrade but of course you should flash new ROM soon. You may also update the RADIO to more recent one as the old RUU downgraded it and the Fallout ROM doesn't have a radio included.
Good luck with the ROM and I hope this helped

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes, this is what I meant - an official RUU Rom will change the RADIO but if you update it after that and flash a new custom Rom, it will stay unaffected (i.e. "updated").

ok one question, i unlocked my desire s on htcdev site, i instal clockwork mod recovery and rooted with super user, i install fallout, but on the screen stay black boot scren htc desire htd, and system not but, i try with sabsa rom, and ice ds and roms not boot, bootloder is unlocked s-on and rooted, where i am wrong???

Did u flash boot.img in fastboot?
Sent from my HTC Desire S

from rom zip?

Yes from the zip. U will have to do this every time u flash a rom, all htcdev unlock has to do this process.

[Q] Won`t boot custom ROM and RUU doesn`t work

*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
Aug 22 2011,15:22:13
My friend bought this phone recently and it has been used and rooted. It had some version of SAGA 3D rom which he didn`t like and he tried to install one other rom (I don`t exactly know which). Once he installed rom he rebooted his phone and it was stuck on HTC logo for 20 min and then tried to install couple of other roms (Yes he did the full wipe of chache ,data and system ) which also didn`t work and than he gave it to me. I tried to return it back to stock by installing RUU (version RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed) . Recovery is REVOLUTIONARY.
I`d appreciate if you could help me .
Cheers :laugh:

If you want to boot a custom ROM you have to flash boot.img via fastboot (search the forum how)
If you want to use a RUU you have to lock the bootloader (search for it too)

also I have debugging mode turned off on phone so I can`t push misc_version file
Anyone know how to enable it without access to rom?
CID is HTC_405

expert please correct me if I'm wrong, but if you want to use the RUU, you need to use the latest one that has 2.00.0002 Hboot or higher if your Hboot is 2.00.0002.. because if you can't push the misc_version you can't "fool" the RUU.. you could try using the ICS RUU.. (that 2.10.401.9 RUU if I remember correctly is the GB with Sense 3.x)

This RUU is only for Russia. Your cid is for Italy nonbranded so
2.10.401.8 should work. Do not forget to lock the bootliader.
If not working you can use adb in custom Recovery or flash the ICS RUU

+1..
Forgot to mention this.. you should lock the bootloader in fastboot mode (i believe fastboot mode doesn't require you to turn on adb)
just go to bootloader, connect the phone through USB cable, go to fastboot mode and type:
fastboot oem lock
then flash the ICS RUU..

[HELP] s-off with locked bootloader

hi everyone. my sensation is getting me angry for a few week. i can't flash roms or others using fastboot commands cause my device is s-off, but i still have the bootloaader locked. from the command prompt i always obtain the same message "writing boot...failed(remote: not allowed)". first at all, i unlocked my device using HTCdev, after i flashed my first rom i found the bootloader locked. second, i tried to turn my device s-off, but controlbaer crashed, so i didn't complete it, but hovewere i'm s-off. how can it be ??? at now, can i flash roms or other .zip just by recovery (4ext) ?? or how can i unlock again the bootloader ??? hope somebody give me an answer. :good:

If you are S-Off and even that the boot loader is locked there should be no problem to install ROM - via 4ext

Hi,
Look HERE
Second post.
Try flashing this:
HBoot 1.27.1100 Patch (Go from Hboot 1.29.0000 to 1.27.1100)
This should give you an unlocked bootloader.

Hi,
I am not sure what to suggest.
People who flash this are normally locked and hboot 1.29
It works for them,so it should work for you
I do not think it would do any harm.
Or perhaps you could flash the 1.27 > 1.29 version first.
Then, go 1.29 > 1.27
How did your bootloader become locked?

When you say you have 1.27 do do you mean a patched one? Besides, @malybru posted a patched one.
You could try unlocking your bootloader (i am not sure, but this may cause brick).
JAM THAT THANKS BUTTON.
Happy to help.

I have 1.29 after flashing new radio and s-off and there is no problem using 4ext for flashing any zip so far

Flashing a rom via recovery shouldn't change bootloader status. Either you flashed a new firmware, or did an ruu.
Besides, a patched hboot should enable fastboot commands.

Other ways to S-OFF besides using Juopunutbear

My HBOOT version is 1.27. For some reason I can't seem to successfully get passed installing the required stock Sense ROM that Juopunutbear requires. Is there any other possible way for to S-OFF if I am on a Kit Kat ROM? Any tools that can S-OFF?

No you need to relock your bootloader to flash RUU , but don't worry after you s-off you will flash 3.33 firmware and that will ulock you bootloader and after that flash recovery and do what you wanna do..
Btw why do you need to s-off?

You can't flash a custom firmware while s-on (it's the reason htc named this state s-on). There's simply no way unless you can pull off JTAG and sh**.
You can get 3.33.xxx.xxx via RUU (only after locking bootloader), but you can't flash 3.33 universal otherwise. If you want to switch carriers, you gotta s-off man.

you can also use the flashable stock rom to install it from recovery

by the way what recovery do you have and why you can't flash the stock rom?
