Hi there! this worked for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390496
another method
first unlock bootloader through htcdev.com it isn't a big deal
make sure you have installed android sdk
download recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-saga.img and Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip I've attached it
(rename recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-saga.img to recovery.img)so you can flash it easily
than download android fastboot tools I've attached it
extract the fastboot-tools.zip to lets say C:\android
check out the 11.jpg
now turn on your phone into bootloader to do that push volume button down and power button than go into fastboot and plug your phone into usb
than run command and go to folder that you created lest say cd c:\android
than type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
done you've installed clockworkmod recovery
Now it's time to root your phone.
put Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip to sdcard root folder means just move it sdcard no subfolder
start your phone into cwm recovery to do that turn of your phone and again press volume down and power button
than scroll to recovery via volume up and down button than push power button when recovery highlight
and cwm will start up than select install zip from sdcard go to the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and select yes
phone is rooted
HOPE THIS HELP

If you unlocked with htcdev you can flash custom roms and you need to flash the boot.img separately

You can't root the phone unless you've S-OFF'd it... trouble is with v2.00.002 Hboot, then Revoutionary won't work (requires 0.98.0000 or 0.98.0002).

I have rooted my phone by unlocking the bootloader from htcdev. Then flashing cwm from fast boot. Once cwm image is flashed i booted to recovery and installed superuser to root my friends phone. It is still on s-on state but says unlocked. And now its rooted.

Interesting! Try using 4EXT recovery? I find it better than CWM. Ext4 file systems, mount USB in recovery mode, etc.

In my opinion it is in any way better to s-off and not unlock with htcdev. anything you do will be much more easier when s-off (for example flashing ROM, no need to flash boot.img separately...) And also there's a bigger chance of voiding your warranty when using htcdev.

i thinks your right men. but i just don't have the guts to try to downgrade the hboot loader since i am only doing it for a friend. im afraid i may brick his phone.
This phone might be sold, or given to someone who needs it completely stock, so my question is, how do i flash the stock recover/rom/kernel/etc, and relock the bootloader? Nothing has popped up under similar threads, and searches of the development section turned up nothing.
Gimme a hand
Relock bootloader with fastboot oem lock
Then run the ruu. Run 1.85 if you're on at&t
Keep in mind, it cannot be made completely stock. It will say RELOCKED on the bootloader screen, instead of LOCKED.

Since my specialty has been Winmo, Samsung, and ASUS devices, I'm not too familiar with those. Is there a tutorial or thread available for this? Or for more info? I assume the RUU is installed from the stock recovery, right? Returning to stock on the devices I used, usually involved flashing the stock recovery, then wiping/doing a factory reset from the stock recovery.
Mad props for the concise instructions.
1) connect your phone to PC
2) Ensure your pc has android sdk and usb debugging is enabled on your device
3) open command prompt -- Navigate to folder having android-sdk/platform-tools
4) run command "fastboot oem lock" - This should lock your bootloader
5) Place 1.85 RUU on root directory of your storage ( rename it as PH98IMG.ZIP )
6) Reboot to bootloader and it should read the RUU file.

Awesome, it's just an ADB command. Can I use the 1.85 update? I think I've been updated since I first wrote this via the cleaning aroma installer. Do I need to use that RUu, the one I used when I unlocked it? Or can I use whatever is the latest.

So do i place the 1.85 ruu (exe file?) on the device (named ph98img.zip), reboot into the bootloader, and it will do the rest automatically? Or do i have to choose an option in the bootloader?

I rebooted into the bootloader, and it's displaying "tampered, relocked"
So it seems, i've relocked the bootloader, i copied the 2.20 ruu over, and renamed it what i was supposed to, but the phone doesn't boot now. I've tried going to "recovery" from the bootloader menu, and i've tried "factory reset". Nothing's happening though.
How to hide or delete the red text on the second boot screen after unlock bootloader ?
One x has no ext. SD so that method isn't going to work without a powered y cable with card reader.....our Evita one x I'd not a ph9800 so its double not gonna work.......no Tom is going to give u official firmware update so Check hboot.....if ver. Is 1.14 use ruu 2.20....if ver 1.09 use ruu 1.85

mine is doing the same thing
the renaming of the ruu is incorrect, you can rename the rom.zip inside maybe and have it work that way.
best to just boot into bootloader and run "fastboot oem lock" then run the ruu and follow the steps.

This is an old thread from 3 months ago, the the original OP was confusing a lot of the terms and steps, so I would caution against doing anything he did, or chiming in on the thread and saying "my phone is doing the same". I'd suggest sticking to the other thread you started, and not confusing things more by posting here, too.

OK, need a bit of help with a Desire S that can only get to HBOOT screen (vol down + power) otherwise it's just a white HTC screen.
Phone is S-ON. HBOOT 0.98.002.
I've tried Revolutionary.io's guide to convert to S-OFF but I just get 'Waiting for Device'. Tried uninstalling HTC drivers then installing again without luck, disabling firewall and AV, still no luck. Kinda given up on that front.
Trying 'fastboot devices', device is recognised, but if I try to flash a recovery ROM from fastboot I get an 'out of memory' error.
I don't know if USB debugging is enabled or not (how can I tell & enable from HBOOT if not)?
I thought about going via HTCDEV and their method, but my HBOOT is at the wrong version (can I upgrade it to V 2.000.2?)
I'm really running out of options now....anything else I can try??? HELPPPP!
Run htc ruu exe file and don't close the windows, find rom.zip in windows temp folder, rename it to PG88IMG.zip ale copy to sdcard. Turn on your phone in hboot mode, rom will be flashed automaticaly.
Or just go to fastboot mode in hboot and then run RUU, should work if you have bootloader locker (relocked).

I couldn't open that, but thanks.
sorry, but I'm really not getting this. I'm looking for a RUU to flash a recovery ROM. When I went to HTC dev, there were all the ROMs for all the different carriers. I don't know what mine is. I tried downloading one for Vodafone, unzipped and searched for RUU.exe but there isn't one.
I need to get to this RUU.exe but dont know how.:crying:
what is a recovery ROM? anyway, people over here at the DS forum has already extracted the radio, Hboot and ROM of official ICS. search around...

I had a bit of progress. I downloaded the latest 4.0 RUU util from HTC Dev, ran it, extracted the ROM.zip and renamed it to PG88IMG.zip, copied it up to the SD card, rebooted the phone into FASTBOOT and the phone recognised it and started installing.
Wahey, I thought, that's it I've cracked it, but then it gets stuck on Updating the bootloader. Stuck for nearly an hour. Tried twice and different SD cards...same thing.
Is this because I'm still S-ON and bootloader is locked, or do you think my internal memory is fried?

Absolutely irrelevant. He's not flashing anything himself, he's executing RUU which can flash everything.
OK, so how do I enable USB debugging if I can only get into HBOOT? Is there a FASTboot or ADB command that can do it? I think that's what's stopping Revolutionary.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If so then flash a custom recovery and flash a custom ROM, they all tend to be pre-rooted.
Sent from my Desire S using xda app-developers app
You're already S-OFF so you don't need to worry about most steps in guides.
I assume you have a custom recovery? You can just flash one of the superuser/superSU zip packages. (Desire S uses ARM).
You may also need to flash busybox.
My good gentlemen,
he says the phone is s off already
If you want to ROOT your phone (my case: Desire S , Mfc date: 2011-July ). This is the procedures i learned from China Android forums, at least it works on Me.!!
Make Sure your Hboot is 2.00.0002
Prepare 2 files first: Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip
(you should find those on the internet)
First:
Recovery --> install Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip from SDcard, and Reboot;
Second:
Recovery --> Install su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip from SDcard Again and Reboot.
Usually, your phone should be Rooted.!!
Have Fun
Thanks for answers Well, the only thing I wanna do is flash a custom rom, and I dont know do I need rooted device for that? If I dont, what do I need? And, how can I check is my bootloader unlocked? And, where can I find a custom recovery? Can anyone link me please? Thanks ^^

Reboot to bootloader and check the first and second lines of text there...
first states < unlocked > if it was unlocked
second at the end: s-off.... or s- on
If your device realy was: s- off,
then your bootloader does not perform check of a signature,
so, in human language means: you may flash anything you want
custom recovery: clockworkmod or 4ext,
you may find in index thread for desire s...
here is the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601
there you can find tutorials about flashing, rooting etc, etc...all you`ll need
here is another link to the help thread, where you may ask questions if you
stumbled somewhere, along the way
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143855
one more thing: when choosing roms, you should only flash roms for your device
htc desire s ( that`ll save you headaches )
Erm.. Just checked and it says bootloader is locked :/ It is S-OFF but locked. How can I unlock it? On HTCdev or? Thanks

I`ve never had stock s-off device ( always had to do it myself )
but if you phone was never rooted before and its security flag is set to s- off,
then i think its bootloader will never check manufacturer`s signature
Try this:
download from the market or from 4ext thread (index thread )
< 4ext recovery updater > and from within that application,
try to install recovery ( you`ll need it anyway )
if that`ll turn out to be succesful, then your phone is ready for the ride...
Go to the thread from the second link ( help thread )
and ask there whether device that is s- off, needs its bootloader to be unlocked
in order to be ready to flash custom roms...
To unlock bootloader you may try comand ( not sure if that would work for you )
fastboot oem unlock
issued to you phone through comand prompt ...
Prior to this action you should set up ADB on your pc,
and of course install the drivers for your device...
Says this what I attached. What now?

Ok then...
you have to flash recovery via fastboot
1. download and set up adb and drivers for you phone ( and install them )
2. download recovery ( clockworkmod or 4ext )
3.extract < recovery_xxxyyy.img > from the zip file- if you downloaded it zipped...
4.rename file to < recovery.img > and place it in the folder
where you`ve placed ADB
5.open command prompt and issue command:
cd c:\name of the folder with ADB [ enter ]
6. reboot your phone to bootloader and wire it to you pc
7. issue command:
fastboot devices
if your device has been recognised( list of devices attached xxxyyy05321...)
you`ll see your phone`s ID
8. issue command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
9. reboot bootloader, and from its option choose recovery
10. from recovery you may flash < superuser.zip >
if you just want your current rom rooted
or via recovery you may flash custom rom...
Alright mate thanks a lot. Im gonna try that as soon as I come home. Just one thing more, any chance of bricking my device? While doing that.

To be honest, when fiddling with phone`s system, bootloader etc..
however small- there is always a chance that you may manage to brick it,
but i`ve been followiing the above mentioned procedures- and many others before me,
many times, and it was always working without a problem,
it was tested and shared, first by the great ones among us,
so one may call them safe to perform,
but you should always remember to be careful,
and better read or ask twice, before doing something you do not fully understand
Ok just to make sure Im doing everything alright.
First, nothing to do with bootloader? Unlock or something?
Next, I create new folder on my pc on C partiton (because of cmd prompt you've said?), download adb and phone drivers and place them in the folder. Then install the drivers. Afterwards, download recovery and place it in the folder with adb and phone drivers and rename to recovery.img. Next, I reboot phone in bootloader and flash recovery. Then I have to reboot in bootloader again, how to? Phone will turn off so I can reboot in bootloader or what? Then I go in recovery, flash superuser.zip for rooted phone and afterwards flash custom rom. Thats it?

Then I have to reboot in bootloader again, how to? Phone will turn off so I can reboot in bootloader or what? Then I go in recovery, flash superuser.zip for rooted phone and afterwards flash custom rom. Thats it?

In bootloader, there is an option to reboot it,
While in fastboot usb mode, bootloader is the first option,
go into it (power button )....
There you can also find < recovery > option....
@chorba69
Go here and find the zip download link (here), extract to same folder as fastboot/adb (and optionally md5 check).
Reboot your phone into Fastboot (reboot to bootloader and if there is an option "fastboot", choose it, else you're already there)
Connect by USB (see the "+files" in my signature if you need windows drivers so your computer understands it's an android phone)
Open a command prompt window (hold shift, right click in the folder, open command prompt..)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wait for flash, if you see a message like "waiting for device", your phone isn't connected, you're on the wrong screen on your phone or your computer doesn't have the drivers installed.
Reboot back into bootloader
vol up/down, power button to choose Recovery
You now have a custom recovery (and you're viewing it), now you just have to select your zip from sdcard to flash it (this time the zip is the superuser/whatever).
Backups save phone's lives!
I'm curious about the first line of your hboot (after locked/unlocked/relocked)? e.g. mine is "SAGA PVT ENG S-OFF", if yours says "SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF" then you're "radio s-off" and can do things like change your phones CID (let it use any network). If it's ENG S-OFF and not pre owned, then you're very lucky indeed (and some people might want more info about/a copy of your hboot)!
Paulie, I attached the image as you can see. Says it's PVT SHIP S-OFF. Do I need to do something before flashing recovery and superuser/rom etc? Or it's not important? Whats the difference anyways between PVT and ENG? And thanks ^^
Mhm. Just tried to flash recovery but recieved this message (attached). Im on FASTBOOT USB screen on phone and in the right directory on pc. Do I need to set up adb or something? Or what do I have to do now?
PVT is expected there, SHIP seems to mean "this version is for general release" whereas "ENG" signifies that it is an ENGineering version.

I'm surprised you got this error. S-OFF should've meant you had no problem. Instead, you can try using the PG88IMG.zip method. Place the file in the root directory of your phone's SD card, reboot to bootloader and it should detect it and ask you if you want to apply the update.
Remember to delete/rename/move this zip file after it's done, as you'll not be able to use your bootloader normally whilst it is detected.
If you still get another error message, let us know!
Please be careful with the file below.

Hmm. So after I put that file on SD card, I have to flash it or flash the recovery.img? Or just when I put it and enter bootloader it will automatically start flashing the recovery?

You need an unlocked bootloader to install recovery, not root.
As per AT&T, HTC blocks bootloader unlocks for AT&T customers. To do this, HTCDEV.com blocks any requests for bootloader unlocks which have an AT&T CID.
Because of this, for AT&T customers only, one must change their CID in order to trick HTCDEV.com into allowing a bootloader unlock.
To gain write access to the file that needs changing to spoof the CID, you need root access.
So what this means:
To flash recovery, you need bootloader unlocked, not root.
But because AT&T OneXLs needs to spoof the CID before unlocking the bootloader, they require root.
For AT&T > Root > SuperCID > Unlock bootloader > Flash twrp
For everyone else Skip right to > Unlock bootloader > Flash twrp
Because you do not have an AT&T phone, you will have no problems unlocking the bootloader to flash a custom recovery.
At first, things can be confusing because many posts don't really make a point of saying that those steps are only needed if you are with AT&T but when you read more than just one post, and make a point of trying to understand what you're doing, things become clearer.
right managed to get the bootloader unlocked and i am rooted
i have installed team win recovery v2.5.0.0
when i go to try and do a backup of my current rom i get e:not enough free space on storage
just found out i only have 1gb free of space on my memory so it was not enough to backup

Considering your version (EVITA) the "international version" will get you into trouble. Most people consider the quad core Tegra3 variant ENDEAVOURU the "international" version. Yes, this is confusing, and dates back to the time when the ENDEAVORU was available in multiple countries across Europe and other regions, and the EVITA was only available in North America. Of course, the EVITA is available in many countries now, so the term "international" is basically meaningless. Stick to ROMs for the dual core Snapdragon S4 version of the One X/XL, and you will be okay.
Better yet, just use my Index thread. Any of the ROMs linked here are fine for the EVITA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237

If your phone was shipped with Jellybean, or your RUU or OTA'ed to it, the touchpad firmware was upgraded, and will not work with any AOSP ROMs.
You can downgrade the touchpad firmware, but you need to be S-off: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159863

If you tried to do a factory reset in bootloader, you corrupted the SD card (known bug, don't ever do it, always factory reset in recovery).
See Question 15 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136172
There are also other fixes for this, if you search around this forum.
thanks
managed to get the card back , but think i will have to sideload a rom as i cant connect it to my computer and copy across my twrp backup
bit messy this flashing business lol
for some reason cleanrom wont install it was stuck on the boot logo for about 30 mins
i did try and flash the boot.img from the rom as well with the same results
viper one xl seemed to work fine
if i manage to get my twerp back up back onto my sd card and flash it back
when an update comes out does it wipe the custom recovery and root?
really struggling to find a proper ruu for my phone and the only one i could find as a .zip file
