There are various links in my signature, they should all help.
Install the adb link by extracting it to PC and the install the HTC drivers then follow the last link flash Cwm and su which will install you a custom recovery and root your device

Great, let me know how you get on? or have any doubt...the only real danger is if you select the wrong recovery (you obviously need the DESIRE S one (saga)).
hiya. i did what it says here
To root:
Copy su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip to your sdcard root
Start clockworkmod recovery (instructions below)
Select "install zip from sdcard"
Then select "Choose zip from sdcard"
Then select "su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip"
Then select "Yes - install su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip" to confirm
Then go back
Then reboot.
You're rooted!
i put the zip on to the sd card waited for phone it wouldnt let me go into recovery so it did its thing i selected 'reflash' an it said it couldnt open pg88diag.nbh which was a file that was placed on there when i did s-off using xtc clip i didnt have any other options to locate the 'su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip'
what am i doing wrong?
thanks

Not sure what you're doing wrong.
So I'd suggest that you move any PG* files or any existing ZIP files from the root of the SD card (either rename them or move them into a new folder)
I'd also suggest that change these setting on your phone
Settings->Power->Fastboot = OFF
Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging = ON
Then follow these steps:
Power Off device
Holding down Volume Down, press the Power button to power on Phone (which should take you into white HBOOT screen) with skateboarding Androids!
Using volume down to move cursor down onto RECOVERY
Press Power button, which should reboot phone into CWM (recovery)
Then re-try the instructions that you've shown above to flash ZIP to get root
Report back...good luck
thanks.
one step further now due to turning fastboot off!
now it says ' failed to <something> vairify signature....aborted
I used Revolutionary to initially S-Off and then root my DS. I used it again after I installed a stock ROM and lost ROOT
It's just another way to go.

Just so that I'm 100% clear:
You successfully performed this command fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img? (obviously substituting your file name for recovery_name.img)
Are you getting from HBOOT into CWM? and CWM appears to be functioning ok?
Is it on attempting the flash the SU ZIP file that you're getting this message or before?
You successfully performed this command fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img? (obviously substituting your file name for recovery_name.img)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
have not done the above (dont quite understand it)
Is it on attempting the flash the SU ZIP file that you're getting this message or before?
^^^^^^^^^^^
its when i attempt to flash the su zip file i got that message
thanks for your help

Ahh..Do you have CWM (custom recovery) installed?
The command that you didn't understand would installed CWM custom recovery for you.
If you don't have CWM custom recovery what are you using to flash the Su ZIP file with?
My previous instructions contained the following steps, which if you didn't follow correctly could be reason why you are having issues now:
You first need to download CWM recovery image file for this device to your PC.
Put the phone in Fastboot USB mode (by following instructions below
Unplug USB
Turn the device off
Hold volume down button (HOLD IT) and press power
Hboot will start.
Wait for sdcard scan to complete.
Plug in USB cord connected to the computer
Press power ONCE and Fastboot USB mode starts
Then run a CMD shell from the PC and then issue the commands into it from the directory where you have put the downloaded img file.
fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-saga.img
adb reboot recovery
and then re-attempt to flash the SU zip file.
Then run a CMD shell from the PC and then issue the commands into it from the directory where you have put the downloaded img file
^^^^

i was looking about here on forum and found 'android flasher' i was wondering if that would do the job cos i dont know about cmd shell

But, I would say that it's a great deal easier than you're thinking, I'm assuming that you're running on a PC in which case download the IMG file mentioned above and copy it to the C:\temp directory. I've never used that tool that you suggest so can't comment on it's use.
Put your device into FASTBOOT USB (following instructions detailed above)
Then select Start->Run with mouse and type in cmd (then hit <RETURN>)
or
select with mouse Start->All Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt and click
Either of these methods should open a command shell (CMD) window on screen
Enter the following commands each followed by <RETURN> into this window:
Code:
> cd c:\temp\
> fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-saga.img
> adb reboot recovery
does it have to go in c:\temp? cos i cant find it lol
can i just do it from C:\Users\jammy\Downloads where it is now?
thanks

It doesn't matter where it goes, so long as you set the directory from within the CMD session to that place so that the commands you run find it:
So run cd C:\Users\jammy\Downloads this instead of the cd c:\temp
The file is probably still called IMG it's just that your PC isn't showing the extensions (as that's how its configured). I just downloaded it myself on my PC and it's called file.img
So still type the commands as if its called file.img though
did that an i got this message:

You need to install the fastboot EXE.
You must click on the link in my signature adb&fastboot download and then extract the downloaded ZIP file's contents to the same directory where the IMG file is currently and then re-try the command!
I believe that it should then work!
cool! so open adb folder and put it all inside the cwm-4.0.1.4-saga zip folder and then try again

Open the ADB folder and copy the contents to the C:\Users\jammy\Downloads
directory where that previous IMG file should be.
Afraid that I'm off out now, will check on my mobile in a little bit to see how you're doing.
good luck!
OMG yes i know im a newb but there is a first time for everybody for anything.
So i'm trying to unlock, root, install cwm and install custom roms but ive looked at all the instruction from many thread and a lot of them had missing steps
Anyways, i've downgraded from JB to 4.0.3, rooted, unlocked and now i'm trying to install CWM. So i installed android SDK and all tools, i've put recovery image in same folder as fastboot.exe, i've booted the tablet and selectied USB icon but wtf do i do now??
I'm basically here:
** FastBoot Method **
1) Install Android SDK
2) Download CWM Recovery image from the original thread and check the MD5 sum (don't skip MD5 check,is there to make sure the file is not corrupted)
3) Copy the downloaded file in the same directory as your fastboot.exe (unless you have /platform-tools in PATH then you can flash from anywhere)
4) Turn off your device and boot into fastboot mode (power on while holding volume down, then select the usb icon and hit volume up to confirm)
5) Plug the device into your computer
6) Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Where do i get this command line?? is it command line from windows such as CMD?? cause if it is, i've tried it and nothing. Do i have to point to where is the recovery image?? Its in C:\Users\Patrick\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools but i'm lost from that point, i'm not sure what command line i have to use, and how to set it up so i can tell it where to look.
Can anybody help me please?

change directory to the folder the recover/fastboot is in, using the CMD on windows. So:
"cd C:\Users\Patrick\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"
make sure the recovery is called "recovery.img" and that its in the "platform-tools" folder alongside the fastboot.exe, then run the commands:
"fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img"
and
"fastboot reboot"

Yes, command line is in your PC. The location of the fastboot.exe located in c:\android-sdk\platformtools (if you install from sdk).
On your PC, open CMD and navigate to the above directory where fastboot.exe is. Make sure your recovery.img in also copied to this same folder. Now you can execute the fastboot comand:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

I think it's easier for you to download Voodoo OTA root keeper to preserve root, then upgrade to JB, then use OTA root keeper to restore root. After this you can install TWRP recover by download goomanager from the play store and install it, once you have twrp, you're home free.
Currently you are on ICS, becareful if you use a wrong version of cwm you could brick your device. Many ppl installed ICS cwm version then upgrade to JB without the right version and they bricked.

when you are in the fastboot folder, you have to press control & right click inside the folder, and you will see the option to open a terminal.

Pat,
If it makes you feel any better I had a heck of a time with this myself.
Once I realized I had platform tools in a folder on my PC desktop with the command prompt
in it I was able to flash.
Gotta say it wasn't easy to figure out in bits and pieces.

Thanks guys, you've been REALLY helpful! I completely forgot about the shortcut to open cmd in a folder, and i'm not sure if you were wrong or its because im on windows 8 but its ctrl + shift + right click
EDIT: now i get a problem, it do all this and i get "waiting for device"
i tried different USB ports, same deal...any ideas?
EDIT: EDIT: tried all USB port but one, the last one i used did the trick, thanks for all!
I'm having this exact same problem but changing USB ports is not working for me and I tried everything else. Would it help if I tried a different computer?

I don't mean to threadjack, but this portion of your post caught my attention.
I just swapped a prime for an infinity. I rooted, installed rootkeeper, preserved root, upgraded to JB and restored root.
Are you saying I can install goomanager and update recovery without unlocking via the Asus tool?
If so, sweet!

No. You will still have to unlock the bootloader to install a custom recovery, unfortunately.

I don't think you did it correctly, first boot you should see the 4 icons and you need to hit the volume down button on your device (within 10sec) to select USB icon then hit the volume up button to select this setting, now proceed with the instruction on your pc to flash. Make sure you copy the recovery twrp file named" openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-tf700t.blob" from here http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/tf700t to the "install Recovery" folder and RENAME this file to recovery.blob

Sounds like your pc is not communicate correctly with your device. When your device is on and you execute Scott's bat file, is your device reboot into recovery so that you can select fastboot mode? Basically, Scott bat file is using adb command to reboot your device into recovery mode, you manually select and enable fast boot mode on your device, then the script is using fastboot command to push the recovery.blob (located in the same directory as Scott bat file) to your device.

don't trust the log from fastboot or any script. Just make sure the recovery.blog is in the same directory of the fastboot command and you must execute fastboot.exe from command prompt.
1. manually boot to fastboot mode from your device. (boot to recovery then select USB icon)
2. Open command prompt and run as admin and navigate to fastboot.exe directory (with recovery.blog in this directory also)
3. type;
fastboot.exe -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.blob
4. Once done, type
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
Let me know the status.

Also I would also like to point out it does not let me reboot after I write the files (using holding shift key and opening command prompt) as it freezes I think??? BEcause I can reboot from fastboot before I input writing flash recovery but after it wont allow don't know why?

Try this, copy the recovery.blob to this directory:
H:\Users\Install user\
Then type dir then hit enter, make sure your fastboot.exe and recovery.blob are there

Should show both fastboot.exe and recovery.blob
Now execute the fastboot command to push the recovery.blob

H:\Users\Install user\
Then type dir then hit enter, make sure your fastboot.exe and recovery.blob are there
H:\Users\Install user> dir then hit enter
Should show both fastboot.exe and recovery.blob
Now execute the fastboot command to push the recovery.blob

Nope, no Odin, but if your device is rooted, you could download goomanager from the market and install twrp using goomanager app.

You can be the first one to try...it may or may not works, but the methods I provided proved by many that they worked.
All right guys, I know I should search the forum, but I have no time now, this is what's going on: I tried to install CF3D's plugin on my Transformer, but it went darn bad, I can't get past Asus' "powered by tegra" screen, and I need this by tomorrow, for my class, how do I fiz this?! I unlocked it, running TWRP v 0.2.2.3., can't remeber my rom's name but it's a mod of the CleanRom, v3.1 that's all I know. I think I can fix this by re-flashing my rom, but I don't know if I can put files into my SD only with TWRP in my hands, if not is it a real brick?? Please, help me!!!

I don't understand "if I can put files into my SD only with TWRP in my hands", you don't have a pc where you can copy the rom to your sdcard? BTW you should be using twrp 2.3.1.0.
I actually have my PC here with me,
but like I said im not sure I can connect it to the pc since it will be on recovery, you know, like an MTP or mass storage, can TWRP do that?

You can't take the sdcard out and put it to your pc, copy the rom from pc to sdcard then put it back to your device? or you could use adb to push the file and hope adb is working on your pc.

Try this,
Copy the rom.zip to the directory where your adb.exe is, then boot your device to twrp (home screen).
On your pc type
adb push rom.zip /Removable/MicroSD then hit enter (this copy the rom.zip from your pc to the root of your microsdcard.
If you see bunch of number and bytes and time then it's working.

EDIT: I must be doing something wrong. Where is the adb.exe location? I found one in the Asus Sync folder, is it that one? Second, where do I put this command? I know, in the command prompt, but which folder is it supposed to open?

You don't move the adb.exe, where ever the adb command located, you need to open command prompt and navigate to the adb.exe folder. Asus Sync is located in C:\Program Files\ASUS\ASUS Sync and so is the adb.exe. so open command prompt and type:
cd\ hit enter, this bring you to root Ccomputer displayed C:\>
type:
cd Program Files\ASUS\ASUS Sync hit enter, you're now in the Asus sync folder (this is where your rom.zip should be in also)
computer should displayed:
C:\Program Files\ASUS\ASUS Sync>
now type
adb push rom.zip /Removable/MicroSD then hit enter (this copy the rom.zip from your pc to the root of your microsdcard.

I thought that you already have adb working on your PC, but seems like you don't. You need to download Android SDK and once installed, you can use adb command from this SKD. Here is the link to how install Android SDK. It shouldn't take no more than 10 min. Just download and run the install, only select packages with the word "Android name" should be only 2. Once you done this, adb and fastboot should work fine. You also need Java, but like 99% ppl with a PC should already had Java installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1616059
This tool is very important in rooting, recovery, flash stuff to your device. So I recommend you install this and get it working, it will save you a lot of time and headache in the future.
EDIT; If you think you have all the components already installed, you could download the adb/fastboot package here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1403567&d=1350299936 , unzip it to your C drive, you will have a folder called "Install recovery", in this folder there's adb and fastboot command, and then open cmd navigate to this folder and execute adb command line I provide previously see if that works.

This is kinda confusing can u use teamviewer and help me so you

What stage are you in? Have you got clockworkmod-recovery installed?
I assume you are referring to superuser zip file. DO NOT unzip it, copy the zip file into your Nexus S sdcard, any folder.
Copy clockworkmod-recovery image file to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\
1. Reboot into recovery: Power off, hold Vol-Up and long-press Power button. This should get you in FASTBOOT MODE
2. Flash clockworkmod recovery via fastboot: Go into Windows command prompt
Code:
cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img
3. Once fastboot is finished, choose "RECOVERY" option on FASTBOOT menu. That should put you in Clockworkmod Recovery menu.
4. Select "install zip from sdcard"->"choose zip from sdcard" and select the superuser zip file that you copied earlier.
5. Reboot and you should be rooted.
Hope this helps.

OK
So it says sending recovery. But its just stuck on saying that and is it supposed to take long?
If you are on stock rom, clockworkmod recovery may be replaced by stock recovery upon each boot.
You can re-flash clockworkmod recovery each time you need it, or disable the recovery restoration. Search this forum for instruction on how to make recovery stick.

Have you got Android SDK-tools installed? Did you install the "Platform Tools" package via SDK manager? fastboot.exe is not installed by default. You may want to install USB driver too. See attached picture.
Test if fastboot is available and working: plug nexus s to pc:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\
fastboot devices
If usb driver is working, you should see some device id being displayed.
