Help on rooting my Desire S? - HTC Desire S

I've been looking at rooting my phone for a while now but all the tutorials I had seen were for the old H-Boot option and I couldn't find any way to do it on my phone. I really have no clue on what to do so any help whatsoever would be awesome! Thanks

Start by reading the stickies in the Dev forum. Then read the stickies in the other forums. The use the 'Search' option (if that is down use Google with a site-specific search). Make sure you read and understand what you are doing before you start - but it is all fairly simple and the answers to all your questions are out there already.

The index thread in the stickies of the dev forum is a good starting point, it has links to several different guides.

Thanks, i've sorted it now! I'm just glad I didnt get any abuse about posting when there's posts out there which i hadn't seen! I'm just looking around now and trying out different ROMs!
Thanks again

Your next post will likely be "can't boot the phone, stuck on HTC logo". When it happens, remember that instead of searching, you took the short path of listening to someone who might not know something (as in fact it happened). Just as the guys above, I have no patience for those who don't search, and not going to explain what's missing.

So true...

Haha nope I did it that way but used a different post, I wasn't going to just attempt it using a few instructions and risk screwing up my phone. Sorry to disappoint, and like I said before I searched it straight after and couldn't get rid of the post.

So I recently rooted my mytouch4g, after rooting my phone I learned how to load roms ect. As I found myself getting carried away loading this ROM, that theme whatever it may have been. Recently I have been having trouble booting up Roms and restoring backups off my phone is there anyway to just compleatly wipe my phone and start over?!
Hi, welcome to xda
You can, you need to enter recovery and do all the wipes there. You can do a factory reset trough settings and then the wipes
I am sure you can find instructions in your device section, should you need any
Thanks man new to the fourm and love my device.
I didnt know that through clockwork from the boot menu when i whiped the cash and factory restor that was all the data from the phone. It could just be the rooms I was trying to use...Seems to be the trend with most anyways.
Thanks again man.
and i'd recommend you install quick boot so you can directly launch into recovery mode

[Q] Rooted phone being sent back

I recently rooted my phone and tried to put roms on it but in the process I messed somthing up and whenever I boot it up it stays at the red motorola logo. If I send this back will they find the root? And what are the consequences if they do discover it?

Boot into recovery, wipe the data/factory reset..and load up a new Rom.
Don't send it back. I don't know much about the Droid 2 but if you get it working you need not send it back.
You should have researched before rooting bro.

What I did when I am frozen now is started my phone up holding the X key, went into some menu and wiped data to factory settings, would that have cleared the root?
no that just clears any bad data preventing boot up, not root. you should also be able to use that recovery to flash a different rom. (stock rom maybe?!)
if your phone turns on, it doesnt need to go back, you need to learn how to read,
root isnt the only thing that voids your warranty. the custom rom does too!
read the XDA user guide in my sig, learn where your device sub-forum is, learn where to find "stickies" in each sub-forum of your device.
find said stickies and READ THEM for your device.

The nature of a forum dictates that time will pass between questions and answers - until someone who has the knowledge and time to answer your question happens to see it, it will just hang there.
The user who posted underneath of the post I quoted has brought to your attention the fact that you have not supplied enough information to answer your question. There are different answers depending on the versions of software installed on your device, and depending on your situation the answer can include "there is none and you are stuck with an unrootable device."
Due to the diligence of a user named jkilo we now have an irc channel where people are sitting around for people who have questions and want answers in a more timely fashion.
Most of us have never been to the site you came from, so again, we have no idea what you have seen, tried or been exposed to.
If you showed up at a car forum and asked "why doesn't my car start" - most people who could answer your question may very well be turned off to posting in your thread because they don't want to spend who knows how many posts dragging the information necessary out of you to determine what your problem is.
How to ask a question
Please don't take this post out of context and think I am picking on you, but seeing postings like this from time to time I am hoping to bring some level of education to yourself and others so that in the future people can refrain from being at odds with themselves and reach a more timely conclusion to issues they have that require resolution.
As mentioned above - what version of the software are you running on your device, and what is your hboot version?
Are you s-on or s-off?
What recovery do you have installed on your device?
What operating system are you using on the computer you will be working with during the rooting process?
That should be enough to get us started on working out a solution for you...
Additionally to easily access the bootloader info go into settings-power- and uncheck fastboot. Then power off the phone. Once powered off hold the volume down rocker and push power for a moment and then release the power button. This will take you to the bootloader screen where you can see your version number.

Those bits of info will get you closer to where you need to be. Also see if there is a line stating S-ON or S-OFF. There are three versions of the bootloader from HTC. The two most common are 1.44.0007 and 1.45.0013. The one you REALLY want to see ends in .0007. Revolutionary works on that one and it works like a champ. The other one is more problematic and need the HTC Dev unlock which at the moment is less than impressive. I expect that the devs here will figure that out soon. That is a total guess but a good one as those guys are determined.

Okay, don't do any official system updates before you continue - you need to obtain s-off first, and you will be fine from there on.
The revolutionary method will work on your device.
First, go to this readme about it and get the doubleshot fastboot drivers:
Revolutionary Wiki
(these are the htc drivers that came on your original microsd card with the device)
Then go to the Revolutionary website and read the page, then choose your download (windows or linux) and supply the required information to download the software.
Next, on the device while that's downloading:
Go to settings on the device, and then application settings, and then development.
In that menu turn 'usb degugging' on by clicking the check box, and you might as well do the same for 'stay awake'
Also go back to the main settings menu and go down to power, then un-check fastboot at the bottom of the list.
Hit home to get back to your main homescreen.
Now, after having installed the usb drivers on the computer and set up the phone to be ready to work with, you should plug the doubleshot into the computer.
Close any autorun windows or anything like that that may pop up.
Run the Revolutionary program. Yes, install clockworkmod during the install. (if it doesn't for whatever reason don't panic - you can do it later easily once s-off)
Once you are all done with that, you might as well reboot the phone again just to make sure it's all fresh to continue.
If you were able to install clockworkmod, then you can flash the root package:
Root flashable zip file for 1.44.0007 hboot 1.28.531.9 or 1.28.531.10
Put it on your sdcard, and then reboot to hboot and select 'recovery' from the menu options.
Just choose the option on the clockworkmod menu to 'install zip from sdcard' and find the superuser zip package. Flash it, if it doesn't take some users have had to flash it several times in a row to work, so on this one it's worth trying again if the first fails.
Once that is done, you will want to boot up normally and wait until it's ready for you.
Then go to the Google Market and get the app Rom Manager, open it and tell it to flash clockworkmod recovery.
Make sure it then tells you the proper phone name before proceeding, let it download and flash the most updated and official clockworkmod recovery.
( Clockworkmod 5.0.2.7 is the most current official recovery at this time )
----
If you need to install clockworkmod recovery and you still have a stock recovery after doing revolutionary ( maybe you had no internet at the time or something ) then this is the easiest way to replace it after you are s-off from revolutionary:
Blue6IX said:
Replacing Stock Recovery: Clockworkmod
If you have S-OFF but stock recovery, the easiest method is to:
[1] - Follow the instructions in This Thread to get temp root.
[2] - Without rebooting, add your market account to the device.
[3] - Install ROM Manager from the market.
[4] - Flash Clockworkmod through ROM Manager.
[5] - What you do next is up to you (but a clockworkmod backup isn't a bad idea.)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And now that you are up to date on being s-off and then having the most recent custom recovery, you can do anything you want from here.
Install custom ROMs, flash back to full stock (but still s-off) retail launch, or anything in between.
Any questions just ask!
Thank you man tomorrow I will try its late now but thanks for taking your time and energy to help me out

Power on and hold volume down. Select fastboot. Install new Rom.

Total recovery - flashing a RUU to completely restore your phone
If all else fails, this is your last resort.
This process will also erase all your data. But hey, beats having a dead phone, right?
First, ensure you have enough battery (more than 30%) to run an RUU.
Next, boot your phone into fastboot bootloader and open a command prompt window on your computer in the platform-tools folder.
Use the command:
fastboot getvar version-main
You now need to find the RUU that corresponds to this version. Start here. If you have problems visit #htc-one-x on freenode.
Now you must re-lock the bootloader using:
fastboot oem lock
It won't hurt to use the clear cache command as well
fastboot erase cache
Finally, run the RUU.exe that you have downloaded (must be used in Windows, and requires HTC drivers, which will have been installed whilst using HTCDev to unlock your phone).
This will write the /recovery, /boot, and /system to stock. You will need to start from scratch to unlock.
[edit]Extracting RUU if you have errors with the above method - Originally by torxx
Please note that this method isn't 100% reliable and should be considered a last resort; there have been various reports of this not working.
Many people have issues with flashing RUU's etc. having a bootlop.
Download a RUU (make sure you get the correct RUU, please see above)
Now open the .exe and make sure that it fully started.
Don't click anything, just go to windows icon and search for %temp%.
You will now find some folders, just search through these folders for the ROM.zip.
If you found it, you can copy it to your desktop or somewhere else.
Extract it with WinRar,7-zip or something like that and take the boot_signed.img and system.img.
Now copy the two files into the folder where the fastboot.exe is placed (if you have installed the Android SDK, it should be in platform-tools)
Plug in your One X, go into the bootloader and go into fastboot mode.
Navigate with the cmd in the folder with the fasboot.exe and the two .img's.
Now type in that:
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
fastboot flash system system.img
If everything worked, just reboot:
adb reboot

Could not agree more. Please READ the dev forums in detail before trying to do ANYTHING to your phone. Understand what you are doing before diving in.
Staying stock seems to be the best option for you. I know English is not your first language, which is fine; it's not my first language either. Reading all the development stuff can be challenging, but it's more dangerous to venture in this world unprepared.
The HTC One X is really very usable out of the box. Just use it and don't try anything funny.

[Q] Rogers HTC One X Loading Custom Roms

I'm thinking about romming an HTC One X for Rogers and I've tried looking up information about installing custom roms. I know I need to unlock the bootloader first and that TWRP is likely the easiest method in order to rom. But I've read some conflicting things. Does it matter which version of the software I have? There just seems to be multiple guides.
Would this guide work?

Thabnk, I did read through part of that but I don't see anything there for version 1.94?
You can root and unlock 1.94 then flash recovery and rom fine.
Rogers HTC One X can be unlocked through the HTCdev site. Once the bootloader is unlocked you can install TWRP and flash any evita rom you want.

So I was able to unlock the bootloader. To install TWRP I installed GooManager and Installed "OpenRecoveryScript".
When I try to reboot the phone into recovery, nothing happens.
Is there a guide how to use TWRP. Most of the guides seem pretty basic, but I don't even know if I have it installed properly. I'm trying to install ViperX

hey! that's my guide! haha, glad to see my first real contribution be somewhat of a success.
As long as it's in the root directory (not in a folder) of the internal SDcard, you'll be fine. Also, make sure you make a backup of your stock ROM just in case you need to go back to it.
Another thing, copy down your APN settings (word by word) from your stock ROM. Not sure if Rogers is the same as Telus, but Telus needs two APNs to get LTE enabled. If you could PM those to me as well, I could add them to my guide as well. Thanks.
Ughhh. Tried to install ViperX 2.6.0 using TWRP however it didn't work. Says Checking Model ID then "assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device")==
Any ideas?

Might have answered my own question, but can I only install Roms in this dev section because I'm on Roger (so no international mods)?

Yes after some research, I quickly figured that... Phew.
Is there any way to tell if the rom is stable or not for the AT&T/Rogers model?

I think that will be the first one I will install. So I have backed up my original default Rogers/HTC backup using TWRP and will download titanium backup?
Anything else you can/would recommend before I proceed?
The help has been great and much appreciated.

So if you would like toto back up your apps than yes u can use titanium but yes make a back up sounds like u already did of your stock rom ...download viper 2.00 put it on your SD where you'll remember. To find it ... Once in twrp hit wipe menu ...wipe system ..factory reset ...and wipe dalvic cache than go back to the home menu in twrp and click install and find viper and this is very important since you wiped system you'll see in viper menu flash stock kernel or install rom ...hit install rom and go from there if you don't you'll be stuck. At. HTC dev screen and have to get back into recovery

One last important thing in case u didn't know
If you're ever stuck in bootloop this will do the trick to get into bootloader and back to recovery
Turn on, hold power 10-15 seconds, until screen goes black, let off, press n hold volume down, press power just 2-3 seconds, let off power button but continue holding vol. Down
LoL wow, already done. Using the rom now. :laugh:
Wow, that was easy. Not sure if I should have checked some of the options (like one to enable exchange mail, and another for better sound). But it was so easy I guess I can always just redo it.
Was starting to think rooting maybe wasn't worth it (last root I did was on the original Nexus). Just going through all the features on ViperX, I'm glad I did.

Roms are the best part . Here's the link to the sound mod thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1819524 download the first one of course NOT the cm10 one DONT wipe anything before installing but after when it says done you LL see an option to wipe cache/dalvic cache choose that then reboot
