I c...., u meant http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136276 ?

No I think that I meant the one I quoted, it might not sound relevant as its about wifi but if you read the whole thread I go into detail about the methods available to achieve s-off
Difficult to be more exact as I'm on mobile

Definition of lazy and annoying. Couldn't you just search before? At least read the titles on the first page of threads, as maybe someone would've had the same question? No, of course not, because that would've mean to actually spend some time (about 5-10 minutes) to read a couple of replies. Instead it was much better posting a new thread and read the replies 2 days later.
Protip: You don't really need S-OFF if you're HTC-Dev unlocked.

Nice. Quiet fast..
Hey amidabuddha, how many of these questions should we answer..? I guess it must be about time to place the INDEX or the guide on the root of the Desire S forum..? What do you think..?

I am not sure that we should continue answering such questions. There are numerous answers to them across the threads. Maybe we are making this guys a bad favour sparing some reading and understanding, giving the answer and avoiding the thinking...

From now on I'll just give them a hint of the answers, and let them use "search" or maybe pointing on the right thread.. :angel:
I installed the official ICS from HTC's website. its like a RUU or something. I'm real real noob and i kinda want to root now. Is it too late? or do i have to wait? O and further information I don't know what radios, roms, flashing... etc means. so ya!.. im a real noob sry guys.
Based on your description to yourself, as you real real real noob and does not know the meaning of the technical words and things done to your phone. I would strongly suggest to keep out of rooting. You might kill your phone.
Rooting is not for yourself, and for noobs, again based from on you self description.

OP, i would suggest that u take time to read the stickies. There are full of information inside in detail. And if u still need further detail then google is your friend.
The search button would do you a great help, no point posting the same question and waiting it to be answered as most question concerning rooting has been answered before, many times. As rooting is not something newly discovered for to this phone.
If you do not take the time to read then u will bump into many issue, that would of course not cost anyone in this forum any harm, but cost your phone to possibly brick.
Read the guides, read the pros and cons, and read the comments(don't be fooled by the number of complains, most of them have solutions and the methods are proven to work).
If you have doubt, search 1st, search 2nd, search google, try different words and finally only then post a question.

kk ty for the reply but wat i rlly meant is that i can't really find any articles about how to root a htc desire s with android 4 installed. I read alot of posts and i tried the power with colume down button to check my hboot version but it just flashes a white frame and then turns black. Of course i would be glad if you could tell me a post that explains how to root a desire s with ics installed

ty for emphasizing on my noob"ness" and i had started to read alot of posts and you know im starting to get the stuff. But can you help me on my question?? do you know how to s-off the desire s with ics installed or where i could get more information on this? thx for replying tho!!
The information is all over the forum. At least one of the guides that is good for Gingerbread, is good for ICS too. Until you have enough knowledge to figure this stuff out yourself, I'd suggest, as others, to stay away from rooting. I don't want to answer another barrage of questions "this doesn't work and that doesn't work, I'm stuck with a non-working phone, what do I do now", and in fact I won't answer. If enough of those few that can answer will be annoyed to the point where they won't bother answering - you'll be left with a non-working phone and no help.
You have two options, and both are well documented in these forums.
1. (recommended): downgrade your hboot (and with it the system software, but afterwards you can install what you want) and then get s-off
2. : unlock your phone on the htc-dev website, lose any warranty, always need to flash boot.img by fastboot from pc etc.
Guides for both these options should be quickly found on these forums through searching.
You have hboot 2.xx.xxxx. that's why you can't get s-off without downgrading.

AFAIK it is not possible to downgrade hboot on ICS RUU without root. And you can't get root without unlock via htc-dev.
So you need to unlock via htc-dev!
Correct me if I'm wrong and please share a link.

May I ask how the official release is working? Did it slow down your phone?
Thanks

Indeed, AFAIK you can't get root in ICS without HTCDev unlock.
So you can either HTCDev unlock and root, or you can HTCDev unlock, root, relock, downgrade, S-OFF, upgrade bootloader, and then do whatever you want.
Guides for both of those methods exist.

This is why people start getting annoyed with the 'noobs' on the forums. You ask questions, get them answered by guys like Jack_R1 who know what they are talking about and then just ignore them, or ask the same damn question again.

Well for any noob the internet is a great place to start especially XDA
As people have instructed already these forums are full of wisdom, and Im sure the answer is in one of the many threads.
But at a high level this is what I did:
1.Installed the official ICS update from HTC using the RUU.
2.Unlocked the phone via HTC dev website instructions.
3.Rooted the phone using SuperOneClick(Flashed it via recovery)
But I really dont understand why you would want to root the stock rom as it does not even support overclocking, I mean the kernel.
Im using Fallout V5.0 and I assure you thats its way better than stock
Note: If all this seems like greek and latin to you, please refrain from rooting your device and hence avoid any possible damage to your phone.
Please help me,I am s-on,unlocked with hboot 2.000.02....I want to flash kernel directly from recovery so I understand that if I have s-off it won't be a problem...I read many topics but my problem is that I have root,unlocked and how can I make my desire s to s-off?

I'm sorry because you're not going to like me much - but your problem is that you are too lazy to read. If you have read through the Index thread and still can't work it out then leave your phone alone.
EVERYTHING you need is there or available by searching and reading.
