This is my first HTC device and when I saw that I must s-off before flashing a kernel I was so lost so I googled around trying to figure out how to turn s-off couldn't find it no where is there a forum on this?

Screw it I'll just flash a kernel cuz y'all obviously removed the s-off tool file so apparently we don't need it anymore

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...

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

I used this to root a few weeks ago. Worked perfectly.
Hi,
I am just looking to fix my app associations by doing this http://www.androidcentral.com/how-restore-functionality-apple-v-htc-war-has-taken-away-root, will rooting via the one click method allow me to do this?
thanks
the oneclick method will root your phone, and that will allow you to modify those files
Thank you for the reply.
Need a One click root for 1.78.401 eu OTA.....
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA Premium HD app
I don't think the oneclick script listed above is base specific. It should work on any base, TMOUS or EU
Does not work anymore htc has fix exploit same as 1.85 update for One x

How did you root your htc one s (S3)?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
I hope you use the rom with sense
for example vipers,it's none of hboot s bussiness
You have to flash the boot.img, probably.
Hi.
May be it will get you any more energy with these info:
now possible JTAG access for both One S - Z520e(S4)/PJ40100 and Z560e(S3)/PJ40200.
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
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
Ok ill give that a try

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.
