There is currently no way to s-off the HTC One S. Best you can do is bootloader unlock.
My phone is boot load unlocked but I tryed installing vemon ROM but when I install it and reboot it gets stuck on load up for some reason. But on install it says something about being (s-off) I don't understand what its asking for then :/

Luckily you probably misnoticed that, no One S ROM needs S-Off to install AFAIK.
OK so why does it not boot up when I install the vemon rom? It shows blank black screen...

You need to flash the boot.img in fast boot.

Did what? Anyways this is a symptom of not flashing the boot.img properly. Do it using fastboot, there is a whole guide on doing this stickied in the development section.
Do like others have said, fastboot boot.img or try using TWRP recovery.
One of the rom threads has a boot.img script. Just replace the boot image on that script folder with yours and run the script.

Maybe it isn't the boot.img..maybe he chose full wipe in AROMA and it didn't flash. Try flashing by manually full wiping and then not full wiping in AROMA, then it should boot after you fastboot the boot.img.

Hi,
Please follow THIS THREAD
Take the Rom.zip file that you have flashed and you will need to go to your pc or laptop and unzip it and then it will create a folder and then you will open that folder and scroll down and you will see a folder that will say kernel open it and you will see a file called boot.img you will copy it to the same folder that you have your adb and fastboot drivers in and then open up your cmd and type your commands to get your fastboot driver's working and then typ fastboot flash boot boot.IMG press enter and then type fastboot reboot and watch the magic

And to flash those rom's you have listed you will need to flash the correct firmware and you need to have s off first before you can flash ics rom's

can you please follow the extra 1 step ..from the link given by malybru(2nd or 3rd post i think) ..atleast you will come out of bootloop after that ..then you can try SOFF or whatever
I turned s off and I flashed ordroid v9 and it was stuck on the white HTC screen. It turned black for like three seconds then returned to the HTC boot screen.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Did you follow the thread that malybru linked to? I am on hboot 1.27 and s-on and I can flash every ICS rom out there that supports firmware 3.32-3.34, which is by far the most, if not all.
And thank you malybru for pointing me in the right direction.

what do you mean you turned s off? Did you follow the procedure to s off the device because s off is not a button you can turn off. It is a procedure to disable security. Once your s off you can flash without trouble. Please read the link provided to the procedure. If you are s off you should not have these issues.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
Yes I followed the procedure and now I have s off. When I flashed ordroid it didn't even reach the beats audio boot screen as I said before it shows the.white HTC logo screen, turns black, then goes back to the HTC screen.

Are you supercid? Maybe try that if youre not yet

Did you use the correct 3.32 firmware? If
Not thats the issue. All ics roms must have 3.32 firmware.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
1. RUU back to latest stable, that way you have all of the proper bootloaders and radios.
2. Follow numerous guides in dev section about S-Off and flashing the correct firmware.
3. Flash recovery.
4. Flash rom of your choice.
Should get it all taken care of for you. Good luck! :cyclops:
Finally I got it to work on ordroid so I can tell the changes (volume,settings, etc) but when I go home it says loading then says 'unfortunately, HTC has stopped"
Then I return to my previous launcher. THIS ISN'T OVER

As of right now I can't load any Rom except for venom. I don't know what is stopping my phone from working.
Background, dropped phone in the toilet, dried it out and everything worked. Went to change roms and something got messed up during the install which cause the phone to have no Os and no usb support. Got all of that straight, reloaded the phone back to stock, rooted it again, unlocked it, and loaded venom.
I have tried to load other roms but it will install in recovery but after reboot it will stay on the loading screen for the rom.
Any help will be great. Thanks!

*facepalm* all roms have there own boot.img. if you open your Rom you'll see what says boot. That is it and you go into fastboot and flash it or use the flash gui app

Venom has a way of flashing the boot.img for you...but otherwise since you're on hboot 1=14 you have to manually flash the boot img....dont worry that's why were here to help!

Unfortunately it sounds like when you reflashed to stock you upgraded the hboot, which in turn makes it so you have to flash the boot.img through fastboot. It's unfortunate, but there is a JET tool if you're experienced in Linux to downgrade your hboot. but, like I said, don't do it unless you're confident.
Thanks guy. I got it to work with the flash GUI. Back to clean Rom!

I have AOKP on my att HTC. I already flashed the boot IMG manually, if I want to try out CM10 do I have to flash the boot IMG of cm10 again? Also when updating the same ROM is this neccesary again?
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2
If you are on hboot 1.14, yes you should flash the boot IMG every time you flash a new ROM. Not technically necessary for a ROM update but good to do just in case.
You can always just S-OFF though, then you don't need to worry about it.

QBking said on his video that getting S off can brick your phone so I am a little weary.

It is actually a very simple process. All I did was copy and paste the commands from the facepalm method. Worked like a charm. Makes flashing a whole lot easier.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
The only issue i had while getting s-off was the phone being "offline" but a simple unplug and replug fixed that. It was a simple process overall
sent from my jellybammed one x
I would say the bigger risk is not understanding what s-off is actually doing. Because there's no security checks, if you don't know what you're doing you can easily brick flashing the wrong thing. If you're smart about it, take your time and know what it is your flashing, you shouldn't have any problems.

Now that we have the exploit to unlock the bootloader on 3.18, I thought I would give you the run down on what to expect.
The first thing that you need to know is that your hboot version will not allow you to flash custom roms properly. You will have to manually flash the boot image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136172 . Flashing roms without doing this manually requires a method called S-Off in witch you remove security: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071 If you are thinking about flashing aosp based roms you will have to s-off "FIRST" and downgrade your touch screen for them to work properly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159863
Hopefully this will eliminate some confusion and help you on your way.

I have been unlocked and have superCID, when trying to flash custom recovery via the fast boot it seems to install fine but when i reboot into recovery the recovery is blank any ideas? What are the steps i should properly take to gain Root,s-off etc. Any assistance would be aprpeciated.

What I am asking is if you went to the HTC dev site and received an unlock token to unlock the boot loader after gaining temp root. If so you can download goo manager from play store search for twrp and it will install it for you. Make sure you stay with 2.3..... 2.4 has issues wiping on our phones.

you need to hold the volume down button and power. once you get into the bootscreen choose recovery. This will load up TWRP. Once your in you can gain SU by going to advanced and fixing permissions I believe. Also note when installing custom roms you must do a complete data wipe/cache/dalvik/system or you might have boot loops or no boot at all.
You gain such by flashing su in recovery.
