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

[Q] New to Inspire and have a question

Hi, I'm coming from an LG thrill ... and I was just wondering when I'm installing custom roms, am I able to just download them directly from the phone and flash in recovery, or do I need to download them on the pc and manually place in the root of the sdcard to install. I'm sorry if this was already asked but Ive been searching all morning for an answer and can't seem to find one, and I don't really wanna brick my phone in anyway lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks !!!

Either way works just make sure your internet connection is reliable

You can flash desire hd roms as well on the inspire. With some of the roms you may need to flash a seperate fix, but usually they are already incorporated in the rom. They are usually stated in the op.

HELP REQUEST (already searched around but confused)

Hi I'm new to this forum I just received the phone today I was just wondering how do I root this phone or put a custom rom on it when I'm on the google update 4.0.3
Please help p.s. I searched around for a couple days and still confused what S-off stands for or how to get to recovery... I'm more of a samsung man.

The Rom version is 3.20.502.52. There is no easy way but the only method is detailed here.

Hi,
Are you still s-on?
If so ,you should probably visit THIS GUIDE
Post if you want to root,s-off ,etc.
Everyone is different in their usage and likes,so,I cannot possibly say what will be the best ROM for you.
Experiment with both Sense,and Non-Sense ROMS.
You will quickly see which ones you like.

S is off and I don't know the difference at all between them but i'll check out the post and thanks for your response

Hi,
If you are s-off,then,you are rooted as well.
You can flash anything you like.
A word of advice,make nandroid backups BEFORE flashing.
This will get you safely,and quickly,back to a stable system,if you do not like what you have flashed...
