read all this and u will figure out

Go through the guides on the index thread in the desire s development section.
Also read the tips on how to avoid bricking.
If done correctly, totally safe. Depends on your experience n patience too I guess. U haven't mentioned what version hboot etc you have which is the starting point.
Re your recovery thread, Google it or search xda, there's also a glossary...

Thx so much my hboot is 0.98.0002

Does revolutionary requires administrator to run? Cuz I don't hv the admin rights x( is there any method that I can bypass that? Sorry if this sound stupid

You will be fine with revolutionary,it's. What I used to do mine straight from virgin. it will S-off then drop the file you download from the site on the SD card and flash it to get root

Is htcdev unlocking one s safe?

I have the S4 T-Mobile One S and was wondering if the htcdev bootloader unlock tool is safe, since I've seen a bunch of soft brick threads, also is that all I need to do to get a Rom on the phone? I don't have any expierience with flashing or modding on HTC phones, only on Motorola phones. Any other flashing information is appreciated. Thanks

Yes it is safe.

But, i would scan several threads on unlocking read his to get a good feel on the process. Highlighting the correct text to copy/paste for the token is important--I missed it first time and included to much text--

We're trying to help you, in the XDA way. And what we're trying to explain to you is that if you need someone to hold your hand while rooting and romming your phone, you're not ready to root and rom. Because if you goof something up and get in trouble, you're going to have no clue how to get out of it.

It's not that I want some to hold my hand.. I've installed roms on my skyrocket but I never new HTC one x would be so different n harder.. What I'm trying to say is I'm not used to fast boot and twrp and cmd promt

I remember when I rooted a phone for the first time. It was my HTC desire. I distinctly remember being worried the whole time I was about to turn my lovely phone into a paperweight.
I read some stuff.
I read some other stuff.
I was confused, so I searched and read some other stuff.
Then I rooted my bloody phone myself, and thoroughly enjoyed a certain sense of accomplishment when it worked.
I'm now on my one xl. There was some confusion about the att and the "international" one x. Me being aussie, I thought I was international. Then I read a bit more, and learnt the difference between the chips on the two models, thereby avoiding bricking my 3 day old toy.
I now ask a few questions here and there, primarily about bugs or features of whatever ROM I am running. Rooting and unlocking and installing roms has been addressed more thoroughly then I believe anything else on this forum.
There is a lot of information out there, and heaps of help to be had on this site, but please do some of the research for yourself first, because I don't think you would have submitted this post if you had.

[Q] New to HTC One S

hello everybody! ive had a iphone for about 2 months now and couldnt take it anymore so i just bought a htc one s! i want to root it but i want to make sure i know everything that need to be done. i see the videos and the step by step processes but i have a few questions. every tutorial i see looks to be done on ics. i bought the phone and it was already on android 4.1.1. do the tutorials still apply? also when i plug my phone into my laptop it doesnt have the charge only/ sd mount (or whatever its says) like it does on ics version....it just says usb connected and wen i tap that it goes into hotspot and tethering options. it is a htc one s S4 so can someone please help me? thanks

You can still unlock boot loader the same way. To get s-off go through the development section till you find moonshine s-off
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app

Ok now what exactly does s off do and do I have to do it in order to root?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app

No you don'tHAVE to do it. All you have to do is unlock boot loader. S-off just allows you to flash whenever you want. If your s-on you have to flash the boot.IMG from the rom.zip through adb

Oh ok. So how do I go by rooting this thing when I'm on android 4.1.1
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app

You can use hasoon2000's toolkit to unlock the boot loader then install a recovery

You don't necessarily have to s-off except for certain things. If you want to flash custom ROMs, can be accomplished even without S-Off

There are these ROMs TrickDroid and zenROM. Sense 5 based. Head over to the Development section you'll find them there. Read the requirements for flashing the ROMs. If it says S-Off is a must only then should you go for it. Otherwise no need.

It's not that difficult. Also try non-sense ROMs like CM 10.1, ILLUSION 2.0 by $droyd$ (very good and stable ROM), PACman ROM.
best of luck.
