[Q] Is it possible to install MIUI on official 2.3.5 (Sense 3.5) update?

Hello,
first of all, sorry for being a noob, I hope this question wasn't asked anywhere else (I checked but couldn't find anything about it)
I bought the DS about 4 Months ago and really, I love it. Still, I would like to tweak it a little bit and give MIUI a try! BUT I'm reaaaally afraid of screwing my phone up! (I had a HTC Magic which I rooted and flashed several times but here it seems to be a totally different operation).
Here are my questions:
1) Is MIUI installable on UPDATED (Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.5) HTC Desire S with OFFICIAL HTC OTA update yet?
2) Is it possible to backup my files and fallback to my old settings easily?
3) Is the battery life convincing on MIUI? (I feel great with 2 days of middle-intensity use.)
4) Could someone guide me through every different steps? There are so much links everywhere I dunno where to look and I'm afraid to miss important things etc. etc. This would really be so much appreciated and after that I could do a toppic (if needed) with every information concentrated for noobs like me ;-)
Thanks in advance!
Thomas
PS: sorry for my english!

1.MIUI is completely different rom and u can install whatever Sense rom u have.
2.yes.Use nandroid backup or Titanium backup for apps
3.battery life is good on miui.
4.for this one u need to use search.i'll just give u this link to start http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601

Thanks a lot for that fast answer, iI'll take a look at that and come back if there are things I'm hesitating about!
Little question: I know it's a different rom, I meant, is it possible to S-Off and root Updated HTC Desire S and then Flahs MIUI yet? Considering it's been updated the official way ^^
EDIT:
Okay so, if I get it right: I need
1) to S-Off (if my updated device doesn't fit the conditions it should be refused on revolutionary website)
2) to ROOT (Gingerbreak or Superoneclick APKs)
3) Do I need to install a custom recovery? for example ClockWorkMod? (it's written in OUTDATED on the tutorial, is it a problem?)
4) Then I should be able to flash MIUI
Right?
Thanks a lot

Yep, you've got it

Thanks a lot!
I'd like to try rooting and flashing today but on Revolutionary page they say we need HTC Drivers for fastboot: they provide a download link which is dead, do you know where I can find them? To be sure not to download the wrong files?
EDIT: Files are back on, sorry!

Updated HTC Desire S is HBOOT 2.00.0002 which isn't supported by revolutionnary :-( can't root for now...

Then you need to downgrade first.

Oh I think i'm starting to get it hehe
Is downgrading a simple operation or is it difficult? Shouldn't I wait for revolutionary to support my HBOOT? Will it take long? Sorry for being a noob but I really wanna do things well.
Thanks a lot for your answers!

its simple but please search and read all instructions.it takes 10 sec

Roger that !
Thanks a lot for your help !

I'm pretty sure that htcdev.com will be able to s-off your device. It's not listed in the official devices, but many people reported its working. It seems much easier, as you won't need to downgrade.

Latest RUU??

Sorry for another post so soon.
I am looking for the latest official RUU for desire s phone.
I sent mine in to get motherboard replaced as it was rebooting all the time. The techs decided to just update the rom and send it back. So obviously I will have the same problems.
I rooted and s-off etc. But problems persisted.
I now need to know the best way to return it to stock. Without them realising I have messed with the ROM

Basically all I want to do is set it back to a stock where they wont notice I have messed with it.
Right now I have used RUU which has set s-on and unrooted it. I just hope its going to be ok.....
Still cant believe they reinstalled a rom and thought it would fix the rebooting

You don't need to upgrade for all ICS ROMS, I'm currently using RCMix and didn't need to update anything, might be worth checking it out first if you're not confident in flashing new firmware.

Yeah same thing happened to me but then i remembered. I didnt SuperCID my S4G yet. Went back and did that and no more model id issue when i flashed the first or second ICS firmwares.

Check out my thread. It might have some useful information for you guys

i got the same problem. i try a lot time, still getting error!!!

Like has already been pointed out, the Model Id error is because you need to Super CID your phone. Look in the guide sticky thread in the Sensation development forum.

One s, w/Telus ruu

Has anyone seen a Telus version rom floating around for the One S? I'll apologize now if this is the wrong section to post this!

The thread for RUUs is over there:

If its not listed, PM the OP, I know he have that RUU. He will maybe ask for a donation but you will get it in matter of hours

Did you have any luck with this after?
The only links I can find to a TELUS RUU for the Ville are to filefactory (where I have to sign up for a $12/month subscription) or a dropbox file that doesn't work to restore my phone.
If you could hook me up with a link that would be stellar.

Telus ruu
I don't have a stock RUU for the HTC One S for Telus but you can download [ROM][S4] Android Sense Best Stock v3.0 | Jelly Bean | Sense 4+ | BEST JB from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065357 and it will get your phone up and operating. This is BehradGH Rom Series and here's a big thank you for your work.
I had no operating system at all on my phone and I'm not going to tell you how that happened.
I went into recovery and mounted the SD card. I put the zip file in the TWRP Backup folder and ran it from there. I had trouble rebooting but when I read the directions and flashed the boot image from the ROM and then rebooted, it booted and everything went well and I'm using the phone now.

You really need to search and read so you can understand what you're doing and asking.
Also, the official ICS was rubbish - slow, flaky, not good. If you want ICS then flash one of the many good Custom ROMs instead.

I will back what Simon has said... if u still havent rooted yet... root ur phone... try to Get S-off , instructions can be found be in Development Section, Dont go for official OTA... i installed it and believe me it was a pain in a** . Once S-OFF u can flash many Roms out here and figure which onces best for u ...Happy Flashing
