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

After looking at your profile, I'm not sure if serious or kidding

No you don't need to sim unlock it. The only reason you would do that is if you wanted to use it on another network.

Ok and then root it and how to install 4ext?
Edit: can't find desire s on htcdev.com/bootloader which device I need to select?

Quick [off topic] question (since we're talking about OTA and what), if we're rooted and using a custom recovery, do we still get OTA updates?
Here's a completely stock 2.35 nandroid backup: http://rencorner.net/Animoski/stocknandroid.rar (It's hosted on my web server, zipped up using WinRAR)

You will probably get it but won't be able to install it...

Let me know if the nandroid works out for you. Downloading it should be fast too. Enjoy.

My bad. Do u still have it though? And noon question. Since it's a fishable zip I don't have to relock boot loader correct? I can flash it with image GUI or htc dumlock just like a custom ROM?
