Okay so I am talking to a dev from the Incredible 4g community. We need all the steps to get a fully working exploit. He knows how to get temp root. What do we need to do after a temp root is established?
This is not me developing this is me letting a dev work with my phone. Any negitive feed back is not wanted. If you want to say anything negitive. Please inbox me.

-hexedit CID to 11111111
-follow the s-off exploit
Once you've got s-off, you can change your CID to 22222222 and use htcdev to unlock. After that, it's just a matter of flashing recovery and a rooted rom.

Thank you so very much. But can I run an s-off program even though I have a 2.14 hboot?

i liked Doug, i just always thought he was more knowledgeable until people started picking on him. he just seems to be acting like he isn't. i do like that he is being proactive about root methods for jb, which is pretty awesome of him. he does make alot of threads though =)

Is it possible to use supercid and then unlock bootloader? And then flash the recovery stuff and root like in this video?

Hi... You should really be more specific , what version of android are you using? As of the new update not all versions can be unlocked anymore ...
Make sure you close sync manager down all the way "EXIT" OUT ... As when I did my cell this had to be done to work

The Root method is only good on firmware version 1.85 android 4.03
Is there anyway I can go back to android 4.0.2?

Negative.
Like I said, you're stuck. At least until a root exploit is found or HTC allows us to unlock the boot loader without hackery.

Is it an AT&T phone?
If so, you can't unlock the bootloader, and thusly you cannot root.

The fact that it's refurbished has no bearing over whether or not it's rootable.
The main point of the question was if I should or shouldn't... If they didn't reset the bootloader or main circuit board I can end up with another brick. That's what I'm trying to avoid this time

One of the various reasons why the "one-click" methods always look suspicious to me. It often ends up being "one-click root method for every phone . . . except HTCs".
But by all means, OP should try it, and let us know.

Actually, this makes perfect sense in theory as you use that to root. It says nothing about unlocking the bootloader.
Once you have root, you could then SuperCID and then unlock your bootloader.

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

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

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.
