Desire S root with stock rom - which way is better? - HTC Desire S

As the title says: Which is a better (easier) method to root my Desire S and remain on stock ROM (with sense)? Unlock via HTCDev AND (a) QuickRoot or (b) Superoneclick.
I'm:
S-ON, Hboot version: 2.00.0002
2.3.5. sense 3.0
Thank you!

i wouldn't unlock it via htcdev because i'm affraid that if i bring it to repair one day (unrooted) they could have had evidence that it was rooted once and my warranty would have been voided.

I do not have time&will to do it otherwise. Just need root to run a really needed software and I have no energy to read all of 200+ posts on how to root without this apps.
If you would be so kind and write here a step-by-step guidance for me, I would appreciate it. I was sure that if I ask this in forum, people will get angry and told me to read the forum first before asking.
To sum-up: I am looking for the simplest method to gain root and remain on stock 2.3.5. rom with htc sense.

In the same bucket. Let us know when you find out.
I am in the dark with regards to S-Off, locked boot loaders and Hboot versions. I just what to be able to have recovery so I can play with custom ROMs and go back to stock should I have problems.

The problem is that you just expect somebody to do it all for you. If that is what you want then you can pay me $150 per hour by paypal and I will do it for you as if you were a customer.
Otherwise - do what you know you need to and read the damn forum - this has been posted over and over again, with step-by-step guides, so why on earth should anybody do exactly the same thing again just because you are too lazy or too ignorant to want to do it yourself?
If the software is that "Really needed" then it is worth you putting the effort in to understand what, how and why.

You asked for the process in your second post. Toxic-Hero answered you originally by stating that he wouldn't recommend HTC-Dev as a method of unlocking (especially true as there are other ways of doing so), and you then asked for a step-by-step guide

[Q] Rooting the Desire S

Ok first all i would like to say, i'm a new member, so don't get frustrtated if i ask questions which might sound like a pretty simple thing for experienced users, because you must remember when you first started it was difficult for you as well.
Basically i need to know if it is possible to 'root' the Desire S - Yes i am new to 'rooting' and everything, but i am getting myself familar with the terminology so hopefully will know a lot more soon. The reason i ask this is because, even on other sites, i can only find rooting guides for the original Desire but not the Desire S. I do understand this could be because this is a new phone, but would just like someone here to confirm that.
Also, if i do manage to 'root' the Desire S, would anyone recommend a ROM to put on it, and lead me to a guide which will help me in completing that task. Please note, from what i know, it would be good if it is a stable mod as i would like all features like wi-fi to still work. Thanks for your time, hope to hear from someone soon.
Kind Regards: Droidzz
seriously, even if you are new
use the search function
the half desire s forum is already full of "can i root" "how to root" "root" "rooooot?" threads ....
Before worrying about rooting you need to make sure that your device is S-OFF or S-ON. Search XDA to get instructions on how to do that.
IF you are very lucky and your device is S-OFF you'll can gain root access using either Gingerbreak or SuperOneClick root methods. (Again search XDA)
If you're like most people and stuck with a S-ON device you'll need to use an XTC Clip or wait for AlphaRev to S-OFF your device.
As the last guy said - read around on XDA. Plenty of people have asked the same questions before....
Hope that helps...
Thanks, for that buddy - Yes i have already searched the forum, and the internet, so i'm aware on how to 'root' the phone using the superoneclick method, however don't understand what's all this about the S-ON S-OFF anyone care to elaborate?

[Q] Need help rooting the Sensation 4G

Hey guys this is my first Android device. I've read on a bunch of rooting and the reason I'm looking into it is because I'm sick of HTC Sense. I just have a few question about rooting because all the threads I've read are from before HTC started unlocking the bootloaders. I was just wondering what the safest way to root is, whether or not I should unlock the bootloader (would this help the rooting process), will the bootloader change anything about rooting, how to flash a custom ROM onto the device and what are the chances of me messing something up and ruining my phone? Any help is appreciated but please try to keep it as simple as possible. Thanks!
I'll put all this in, in case you need it:
Android Version: 2.3.4
Sense Version: 3.0
Software Number: 1.45.531.1
Im pretty sure you have to s-off to root the easiest way is to use revolutionary and just flash a rooted Rom which I think all should be rooted its really easy just go to the thread under development it's stickied
If you follow the dirrection like it says you should have no problem just read them beforehand and use then while you do it
Sent from my Sensation using XDA Premium App
if youre sick of sense, just install CM7 or an ASOP/CM7 blend, it has 0 sense on it, and come rooted
I would also reccommend revolutionary because htc's official unlock is a bit dodgy in terms of what it realy unlocks. You wont get the ability to flash custom kernels (correct me if im wrong) meaning no CM (one of the best no sense roms). Theres a thread in sensation development which is really easy to follow and if you have any questions just ask!

[Q] Advantages Of Rooting

What are the main advantages of rooting my HTC sensation?

BEFORE you do anything make sure you read, read and re-read:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
BE CAREFUL, it's easy to brick the phone if you don't read and understand, especially if you start applying Firmware updates required for ICS. A few folks have managed to get the latest firmware applied and removed S-OFF, this is a problem as the revolutionary.io method to S-OFF won't work with the later Firmware versions.
Make sure you read the guides before you start, I can't stress this enough.
S-OFF switches off the security flag. (REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DO MOST THINGS)
Custom Recovery (e.g. CWM or 4EXT) allows you to install custom ROMs and other components.
The Custom ROMs are generally smaller in size and faster that the stock HTC one. You can also install different kernels allowing you to increase the CPU speed, e.g. 1.2GHz to 1.7GHz in some cases.
Another benefit is that you can use Titanium to backup and recover components of the ROM, data and apps. Another benefit is the ability to use nandroid ackup/recovery. Nandroid is a complete phone backup whereas Titanium is at a more granular level.
Before you do any of the above, do the following:
Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and make a note of the 'Software version' - this is the MOST important thing you need to make a note of.
Once you have that number, post back here so we can advise if an RUU is available to you for warranty purposes
Custom ROMs - better than stock

As abhishek89 has succeeded installing a custom ROM I hope he doesn't mind me asking a few questions in his tread.
I'm a beginner when it comes to custom ROM's and everything that has something to do with it. But I am interested in trying it out, just afraid of bricking my device .
So I hope you don't mind offering me some information EddyOS as i've seen your advice around the forum is always helpful!
I've looked up a few numbers and was wondering if I could proceed doing some things,
Android version: 2.3.4
HTC Sense version: 3.0

I have rooted two Sensations, the first via Revolutionary.io (only works up to HBOOT 1.18.0000) and the Juopunutbear on a replacement (under warranty, screen just stopped working one day nada to do with S-OFF).
The Juopunutbear method works just a bit frustrating on getting the timing right with the paper clip. Read up on it, it really does work and seems to work well.
I would thoroughly recommend getting S-OFF onto your phone, makes life sooooo much easier.

[Q] Updating my new Desire S

Hello,
First of all, thanks for this great forum, i'm new to android and being here is really helpful.
I've read some of the guides posted, still i'd like to have some tips and infos.
I'm from Italy and my Desire S is still working on Gingerbread (!). I would like to update the firmware, if not to Jelly Bean (since the custom one is still beta, but advise me here), at least to ICS, but i don't know the routine to follow (ROOT, then Flash one of the custom ROMS? Being in S-Off mode is needed i guess). Another thing i don't get is flashing radios..
Help would be really appreciated, THANKS.
There is nothing to tell you that you can't find by reading the stickies and understanding what to do.

If you haven't messed with your phone, i.e. rooted it, flashed any fancy thirty party rom, etc, and the phone is running official HTC ROM and in the exact same state as you bought it, I'd suggest OTA and upgrade to official ICS since you are new to android. Go to setting - about phone then update from there.
If you'd like to try other ROMs then there's plenty guide in this forum already.
Imo official 4.0.4 is a bad idea.
1) It has bugs
2) hboot 2.02 cannot be downgraded without htcdev

My Desire S is new and "untouched". For what i had got, the official htc release is to be installed manually and has some issues, so I had thought a custom and more recent ROM would have been better.

Then use revolutionary (S-OFF) not unlock via htcdev.com, 4ext recovery and you are good to go
If you are on Sense 3 you will have to downgrade in order to use Revolutionary.io
And of course I concider the ROM in my signature as the best to date

If you are going custom better not use OTA
Revolutionary will install custom recovery so the next thing will be a backup of your stock ROM and installing the Rom.zip from the sdcard via the recovery. No rooting, because all custom ROMs are pre-rooted.
My ROM is ICS, there is no complete stable JB yet but once you have s-off you can try them all within minutes. And do not forget to sync/backup your data (contacts, etc) to Google or with some app from the Play Store. And read some guides before starting anything. I am just giving you directions not a tutorial

So why do you "root"? Just to unlock the phone without touching the FW?
Going custom i guess it's the only way, because htc is not going to update anymore, so better learn how to.
Anyway THANKS A LOT, it's more clear now

Yes you can root your current software (the stock one) if you need just root for an app or something specific without changing the software.
But going custom means to run Android and Sense version which you will never have officially. And they all come pre-rooted

The best app for applications and data backup is titanium backup. It also allows you to make a flashable update zip you can flash after installing a new rom

I've seen several threads during the last couple of weeks where a random noob got the best out of one of the knowledgeable members of the community - in this and other forums - and they helped him instead of sending him to read stuff that he was supposed to be reading to know the answer.
In absolutely all of those threads, noob questions continued and deteriorated to the most basic ones. There wasn't even one thread where the noob wouldn't continue with flood of basic FAQ-sort of questions.
I've wrote in a couple of them more or less what I wrote here - an unpleasant message to stop the flood of baby questions.
All of the noobs were offended.
All of the noobs actually searched and found their answer after that message, and stopped the flood (with a message that here, they were so great they actually found everything themselves).
It's kinda sad, don't you think? Quite a few times bad treatment seems the most efficient way to achieve the best results... Guess there's no miraculous other way I'm missing, or maybe there is?

I don't think you'll be able to root being on 4.3. You would have to be on 4.2.2. I'm don't know where you reside but if you can downgrade using RUU then you can use revone to root. However, the only RUU currently available is for AT&T in US.

It doesn't matter what android version you are running to obtain root.
Ive sent you a pm with a guide to how i unlocked bootloader, installed a custom recovery, rooted device and installed MagioROM.
hope it helps
cheers

Why not publish this information in the forum so that others can benefit that may have the same question?

Fair point! however i should of stated that it was a link to an external site...not a guide created by myself! i assumed posting links to external sources may be against forum rules ( i may be wrong?)
I agree that it would be of benefit for a full step by step guide to be stickied on this forum, certainly easier for the community to find, unfortunately there isn't a detailed one at the moment.
anyway.... this question is answered many times on this forum and also freely available on google...if you SEARCH (how to root htc one mini) before posting, like i did, then you will find all the information you need.
I apologise if that sounds abrupt, its not meant to. Im trying to help without breaking forum rules
You're right, unlocking bootloader will work regardless the version. I think it's the case to obtain s-off. At least I had that issue.
