what's this?
i purchased in november 2011...

Read read read read read before u try anything. Just fyi. Learn about what you doing and what it does to your phone. Learn how to recover and backup. Jumping into this game isn't easy. And could brick your phone. But for starters you need to check here revolutionary.io to unlock, root, and install recovery. Also get S-OFF aka security off. Aka locked boot loader.

As RANDYRKELLY says: First thing is to read carefully, understand and learn. Search this forum for everything about rooting, s-off and flushing ROMS. There are great step-by-step how-to's in here, so that there's no need to explain it once more in a separate thread.
You should start here for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

Yes, it is said to read well and understand that you want to do and unlock the boot with better revolutionary than http://htcdev.com/, good luck

Do not use the htc unlock. Will not give you read write state. U need to use revolutionary cause it roots, unlock boot loader, and installs recovery. Please don't miss lead him.

I said that after http://htcdev.com/ will not be able to flash custom kernel, and unlock a better revolutionary

your best bet is to stick to xda it has everything you need to root and flash whatever you want there are alot of threads that will explain what root off is and how to get it. it will aslo explain how to flash roms, and what that is good luck you can always post here in the q&a with any problems you have

thanks randy & kaym....
anyways its S-off...

Actually, your the one misleading people, revolutionary doesnt actually root a phone, it just gives an unlocked bootloader. Installing superuser from market is what gives apps root and a line in the build.prop file gives the user root permissions

[Q] question about the root 2.20

You can only flash roms via a custom recovery like cwm or twrp

I see that your HTC One S is S3... As you go through all these steps make sure you are flashing ROMs, recoveries, etc for the correct HTC One S version. ROMS that are for S4, cannot be used for S3...

[Q] How to root and change stock rom for XE ICS

Dear All
I have sensation XE stock rom ICS 3.23.206.151 HBOOT 1.27
Need to :
1- S-OFF
2- Root
3- change the Europian stock rom to Arabic stock rom
I know how to S-OFF from HTCDev website
I have the ICS 4.0.3 Arabic stock rom (Is there Gilly Bean?)
Now what to do? I need steps with links to details

If you haven't already used the HTC Dev website, DON'T!!!!
Doing so will make this process MORE difficult, not less.
The HTC Dev website will not S-Off your device. It will only unlock part of the bootloader. You want the whole thing unlocked with true S-Off.
And it's easier to do it on the 1.27 HBoot than it used to be.
See this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
Ganeshp is a super helpful guy and pretty much any question you have will already been answered by him in that thread.
If you have already done the HTC Deve unlock, use this guide to S-Off instead...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
It's a little more complicated, but it's making up for the problems that HTC Dev causes.
One of these two guides will get you S-Off. Once you have that accomplished loading a new ROM is the easy part.
But one step at a time. Get S-Off and if you have questions on a new ROM install come abck and I'll help you with that.

Thanks, I did not do the HTCDev unlock yet
so,
1 - I will use JB TOOL to unlock (S-Off)
2 - I will use One click root tool
both from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
Then what?

Buy the app from the Play Store. Its cheap. And it will flash the recovery for you. Plus the app is a great manager of all kinds of stuff dealing with recovery.

On a side note, does anyone know if s-off using jb is possible on android 4.2 version? I really don't want to restore my phone via RUU and s-off and restore my ROM with nandroid...

Prerequisite for soff is you must be on stock Rom
And I soffed my phone after I flashed stock Rom my phone ,
You donot need to run the RUU as RUU will make your phone completely stock
You need a stock ROM

no revolutionary doesn't support your hboot version
other way is to unlock the bootloader from htcdev site
and then use this guide to flash custom roms
