Sounds like you need to read and do some more research before attempting this.
Just because the HTCDEV.com site doesn't list your specific DesireS version doesn't mean you can't use it.
Part of the unlocking process will involves generating a key on your phone and this is what drives the unlock process, not the selection you made on the HTCDEV.com screen.
Read and search the sticky posts on this forum.
Well, i got some steps forward in this prosses.
I got the bootlock, unlocked, and rooted with super one click, as in this >>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20701305#post20701305<< guide. but when it comes to the: adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version commend, i get the error: Unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/misc_version: No such file or directory
Whats have i done wrong now?

Did the previous adb push command work? More than likely you received an error and the misc_version file did not get copied to the phone.
no, forst time i got that message was ther, and i tried again, and the same.
Hmm, maybe you can restore a backup from before you tried to root it. Then use this guide to root it again. Look at the discription!
That one worked perfectly for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399331&page=3
This is the guide I used, I had to add a bit to 2 of the commands for mine to work but it done the trick.
When typing.
adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
I added /zergRush
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp I added /misc_version
Also there are 2 misc file choices in the link, use the second 1 misc_version02 zip, unzip all files into the folder on c:

So it is possible to S-OFF ***LOCKED*** hboot?I have bought this phone two days ago, but I can't understand what does ***LOCKED*** mean. There's no guide or howto specific for ***LOCKED*** phone and I'm afraid to brick my brand new phone!
thank you
Pola3F0x..........
i had unlocked my phone thru htcdev......select desire model
try step by step.....i can help you.....
Mine is S-ON unlocked and rooted
please try to other methods of downgrade/S-OFF. Using the htcdev method has two big disadvantages:
1. You may void your guarantee
2. You will have to flash the boot image after every rom change/backup restore
of course......

if hboot is ***LOCKED*** must I use htcdev ?
no, it means your bootloader is ok, and using alternatives methodes you can easily find in the INDEX you can keep it
that way.

Guys..i didnt want to create one more thread with a question so i am asking it here.The only reason I am talking about myself that i want to root my device is because i want to delete all the crap that it had pre-installed.Is it possible by using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399331&highlight=zergrush to gain temproot then go delete the crap and go back to the original state without them or i MUST flash a new official rom without the crap?

Guys is this possible? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245334 ?? I just found it and it might be helpful to others as well!
If you do this, you have to use a old RUU. That means you are going to install al old version of HBOOT. Revolution can only work with a old HBOOT. But when you install that RUU. You also get a old version of the software and also a old Sense version. You may choose to use that. But i think you do not want that. So after you have done that all, you have to install a new ROM. And you may choose which rom that will be.

Well lets make it clear..Right now i have 2.10.163.5 software version..If i download a newer software version (newer RUU) and instal it will it debrand the phone?(Without using rooting tools and stuff).Because that's what the second link i posted says...
So all you want is debrand the phone. I dont know how to do that. I have seen a few topics about that. I also do not know if you loose your warranty when you do that.
hmm i see mate..Well at least someone who knows should tell us if what i posted is valid and we can do it without bricking the phone..
ok so i wanted to install the ICS on my android but it needed the 4.03 firmware but the 4.03 firmware needed a firmware from 3.x.x so i when to find one and now my device is bricked i can still flash to ROM but thats about it. i can turn it on and it just sits there with a white screen with a label saying "HTC". i have tried restoring from my ROM back ups since i got clock mod installed in the recovery menu i tried every thing i wiped every thing and when i flash or re flash a rom my HTC goes into a booting cycle. and my CID is supper cid and i remember my HBOOT being 1.18.000 but thats about it. i had stock firmware of 2.3.4
My phone had firmware with vodafone australia.
my SD card is intact but i think internal SD card is corrupted or what ever where ever the firmware gets flashed to.
and i cannot seem to find the original vodafone HTC Sensation 2.3.3 firmware so i could restore it and then update it to 2.3.4.
and i tend to get an error from:

What md5 checksum do you want to check ?? There are many utilities to check md5 checksum on computer. Run superwipe script , then install Android Revolution HD 6.2.1 , You have the correct firmware for it. I can see.
I have a same problem.
Didn't read the thread very well and I upgraded the wrong firmware.
Now, I just see the ''HTC'' logo and after that it's only rebooting over and over again. I downloaded the firmware I needed, thought I will just replace it with this ''broken'' one, but I'm getting errors all the time. And after that, again rebooting.
HTC Sensation, S-Off, first firmware was 2.3.4.
Error is: ''CID incorrect, update fail'' in HBOOT.
Only way I can stop rebooting after that message is to take out the battery.
Anyone got any other solutions except the first answer?
Thank you in advance, sorry about my bad english.
NOTE: I'm a noob at this, just wanted ICS on my phone. So, please, explain it in ''moron language''

Pull the card out and boot it into hboot mode. Then to recovery. Mount your sd card. Plug it into your computer. Delete the incorrect firmware. Find a superwipe zip. Flash Zip. Then flash correct firmware.

It looks like you have a valid version of the Firmware (HBOOT 1.27.1100). However you need to understand that that version ONLY supports ICS ROMs, so it won't support your old ROM even if you recover it. Also as usual you should SuperWipe when changing things this dramatically.
As you still seem to be able to get into Recovery try the following:
i) Download the Superwipe Script from the ARHD thread, in the Downloads bit in he first post.
ii) Download a full ICS ROM, take your pick (my preference is Virtuous Inquisition 3.5).
iii)Copy the files over to the SD-card from your PC.
iv) Delete the PG59IMG.zip from the SD-card. (ADDED IN EDIT1)
In recovery, run the Superwipe Script. Then Install the ICS ROM. The first re-boot will take a few mins.
To check MD5s just get a free MD5 checker for your PC and also get one for the phone, when it's backup up and running.

You haven't detailed what your HBOOT is at the moment, what does it say if you go into BootLoader ?
As it's mentioning CID, I assume you didn't SuperCID the phone, not an issue just get the right one for you CID from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
After you update the Firmware you'll need to:
i) SuperWipe
ii) Install ICS ROM
iii) Remove the PG58IMG.zip file from the SD-Card.

In this thread ''[Firmware][Feb 22]User-Friendly Firmware 1.17/3.12/3.24 & 3.30 Unlocked'' I downloaded ''HTC China & H3G'', version 3.30 by mistake.
HBOOT installed the PG58IMG.zip file and after that he's just rebooting.
I have T-Mobile Europe carrier but my HTC is unlocked.
Now, I don't really know what firmware to download or how to check for the right one. Also, I don't know how to SuperWipe or anything so I need someone just to write all the steps. From Wipe to ROM. I found nothing on this anywhere else and I searched all night. I'm new to Android (Have Sensation for about 2 months) so thank you for your help people! Really appreciate it.

Take out your sdcard from phone . connect the sdcard to your pc via some sdcard reader. Then delete the PG58IMG.zip from the scard. You will be fine.

Tried that, still stuck in the loop. I think half the firmware update has ran, then it has failed, so i need to roll back...
Download both the 3.30 and 3.12 FW. Open the 3.12 zip on your computer and replace just the Hboot file with the one from the 3.30 zip. Then flash the customized zip so you'll have the 3.30 fw with the 3.12 boatloader (1.23 not 1.27) and then flash a 3.30 Rom.
Some phones arent booting with the 1.27 bootloader that comes with the 3.24 and 3.30 fw.

You can superCID from fastboot. Put it in bootloader, connect USB, bootloader should say fastboot USB.
Follow sticky guide in dev forum.

I had the same problem when I first tried to flash a rom, you just have to find the right firmware for your CID, find yours here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767, and if you don't know your CID just superCID as shown in the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and skip steps 5,6,7, just manually boot into bootloader.

Are you s-off ? If you are S-OFF , then you need not have any file.
Just boot into bootloader.
Open a fastboot terminal in pc.
and type
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot getvar cid
After this you will get a reply like this CID : 11111111
If you are not S-OFF, then first install adb and fastboot in your pc from here for windows or from here for linux and follow this guide.
How To get your Hboot Version - 3 methods below
1. Run the revolutionary Utility you just downloaded from http://revolutionary.io/ and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
4. With the phone switched on (not in HBOOT, just the regular home screen), plug in your USB cable and select HTC sync mode.(IGNORE any warning messages on your phone telling you it cannot find HTC Sync )
5. Launch revolutionary.exe. It should detect the phone and ask for your beta key. Type it (BE CAREFUL, as its case sensitive) or copy and paste it in.
If Revolutionary fails to find your phone verify you have all the drivers installed, try disk drive mode or charging mode (Linux users can use disk drive mode. Confirmed to be working by others)
6. Once you have entered your beta key correctly, follow any on screen prompts or actions from revolutionary and wait for it to S-Off,
7. You're done. Your Device will Successfully have S-OFF....if it hangs on method 3 and doesn't S-Off. See post 2 below for solutions.
IF REVOLUTIONARY SAYS FAILED YOUR PHONE IS NOT SUPPORTED. Go back and check hboot using the methods above. some users are told its failed and they still have S off now. If you have S-off your hboot will now be 1.17.1011 and revolutionary will tell you now your device is not supported
8. Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually below (the recovery provided is v4.0.1.4 doesn't charge when device is switched off, the one below v5.0.0.1 does charge)
9. Your Device now is S-off.

Open cmd prompt as admin (RT click)
cd to folder with fastboot drivers (e.g. cd C:/sdk/tools)
Connect in bootloader via USB, type "fastboot devices" and you should get a response with your serial number.
Enter commands as above!

CD to the directory where adb and fastboot installed ( generally platform-tools folder in the sdk).( Boot your phone into bootloader mode. and connect to pc)
Now type :
in the command prompt:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot getvar cid
After this you will get a reply like this CID : 11111111

Not rooted?
Try fastboot flash any recovery image first.
And i think you can use other Ruu.
Btw, you can dump that Saga on me, if you live in KL. I'll help you.

I'm having hard time to setting up adb to start.I've downloaded a recovery image.
There's nothing on top of PVT.
After some reading i worry thaat i'll screw it up if i flash the recovery without S-off and unlock bootloader.
I read somewhere that i could download a file from htcdev kernel section and flash but how to flash?i downloaded it.which program i should use to flash the file?
Get a newer RUU and flash. Check the CID and download the correct RUU for your CID.
And stop worrying so much, otherwise you won't fix anything. Flashing with different radio won't do a thing, as well as flashing a different RUU as long as you have goldcard. But since you don't have, just look for the correct RUU.
It seems like its hboot 98, just do the revolutionary ?
Sent from my HTC Desire S CoolDroid v6.0 via XDA Premium
Also a good solution. Just need to move to FASTBOOT screen.
Bluehawk, just go on with www.revolutionary.io , it will root and s-off the device. No need guide link, just open the web, and it will show you the guide, step by step, newb friendly. But remember to choose the right option, imei and sn.
By then, after complete revolutionary, be happy and fastboot flash any recovery image.
Kinda lucky situation, already hboot 98, easy to handle i think. Unless the device soft/hard bricked already.

Hye guys,first of all im amazed to see so many replies/solutions given by u guys.
Alright,i've do tried to s-off using revo but i couldn't get my device detected by revo,sigh.Tried many times but it still BLINKING ON WAITING FOR DEVICE.Tried on another pc,same result.I've installed all the driver and updated my device in device manager.On my phone,If enter vol-|power on hboot/connect usb/my device manager detects as ANDROID BOOTLOADER INTERFACE and when i entered fastboot it detects as MY HTC.I don't know where i'm doing it wrong.Or its some chip fkd up?
Now,i've installed adb/fastboot on my windows7 and adb seems not working but fastboot going good.Here's some info i've got while typing some commands:
Fastboot device - HTC14ctxxxxxx (simply typed it xx,security purpose?idk lol)
CIDNUM - HTC_621
Emmc should be Sandisk
Version-main 1.31.950.2
If possible i really wanted to S-off it so that i could flash custom recovery etc,not much hassle as official i guess.So yeah,revolutionary not detecting my device.Maybe i guess because the phone had not set to debugging etc or so prior it went dead?
So should i download a RUU and flash?which one should i go for with above cid?can i flash with fastboot command?which command should i use to locate a RUU?
Sorry guys,i'm new with android and htc.hope u guys could pardon my noobies.
Revolutionary might be running in ADB mode by default, and that's the reason it's not detecting your phone - you can't boot to the state when ADB is functional, ADB daemon starts running when the kernel is booted already. Since Revolutionary is an executable, it's not possible to manipulate it into starting directly in fastboot.
In that case, I guess, you're left with flashing the RUU.

did you change to fastboot usb?
here's my step to revo, I pull the batt for 5 sec, put it in, and boot into hboot/bootloader . Top option is fastboot, i selected it and it will change to fastboot usb. then plug in usb . and it detect my HTC DS.
note : HTC Sync installed, and HTC Fastboot driver installed in order to get it work.
EDIT : Jack_R1 is right maybe. For your HTC DS, it's taiwan made, so search for oldest htc asia ruu.

My suggestion.
If you don't want to run into any problem try to make goldcard. It is easy. Use google search, and search for android gooldcard how to.
If you have a laptop, or cardreader it'll be a easy step.
Also before you run the RUU boot the device into fastboot. By volume down +poer button.
Don't worry.
I've messed my phone before and fix it without breaking it!
What you shouldn't do is pull out and rapid back in the battery while the phone stays at the white screen.
You can burn out the emmc chip that way.
[email protected] for the link buddy.I'll try it once i've prepared a goldcard,just incase.
[email protected] the midst of making a goldcard.Since i cant make goldcard on my phone,Tried readcid and goldcardhelper downloaded and plug my sd direct to laptop card reader but non working.I'll find someone who own an android phone and make golcard in their phone.
Appreciate you guys!Simply the best guiding forum!
UPDATE:
Got hold of a Samsung Galaxy SII,insert my 2gb unmount erase and did GoldCard Helper.I've got 2 CID as below:
mmc1:aaaa XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
mmc0:0001 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Which one should i use to create goldcard image?
Finally,the phone is up and running good!
I tried to make goldcard but not sure of the cid i should use to create image.
Went on to flash the RUU as per suggested by anaz and the phone came to life!I really appreciate everyone of you for the guide and advise.Thank you guys!
Hi,
I just got the HOX for at&t about a week ago, never thought about rooting OR unlocking the bootloader until recently when a friend borrowed my samsung galaxy s vibrant and asked if they could root it til they got their phone fixed. Got to thinking of how cool it would be if my one x was rooted, did the research on how to root it and hit a snag. I followed all the steps on HTCdev to the T, pasted my identifier token and hit submit and all i got was
"We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.
Error Code: 160.
Error Reason: MID Not Allowed."
Anyone know wth is wrong? I haven't found another thread with the same problem as mine, too many to go through. would really like to experience the root benefits but this is killing me! =[
AT&T blocks the official method. What firmware are you on?
If you're on the latest firmware (3.18) you'll need to follow this method to unlock your bootloader.

Ok, you need to reboot to the bootloader and tell us what it says.
Hold the volume down button and the power button at the same time, the button lights will flash a bunch of times. When the screen goes blank let go of the power button but keep holding volume down. This will bring you to the bootloader.

Download the latest Android SDK with adb and download HTC Sync from the HTC website and it'll install the drivers. That SHOULD solve your problems.

Hi guys
I'd like to know if it's possible to root my phone and get S-OFF because I want to run MaximusHD on my One S.
So the 'specs' are the following

3.16.401.9
SDK 4.63
HTCExtension_Sense45_2
If it is possible what tutorial should I follow? And is SuperCID necessary voor MaximusHD?
Thanks!
From here, your options are:
-Get an unlock code from htcdev and unlock the bootloader. This will let you flash the Maximus ROM. You are still S-ON at this point so you need to flash the boot.img file that came with the ROM after flashing the ROM using a custom recovery like TWRP
-Get SuperCID and use Facepalm to get S-OFF. From here you can just flash the ROM. Done.
-Use Moonshine to get S-OFF. This may work... your stock software is not one of the officially supported versions...
I think s-off is really needed, why?
Upgrading hboot can normally be done with s-on, but going back is the real problem then you need s-off.
Supercid is not needed. S-off is. (sometimes supercid is needed temporarily to get s-off)
The .9 firmware is problematic for s-off with facepalm. .8 will work. (you maybe can reruu to .8)
Or Try moonshine, check 4 compatiblity first.
Verstuurd van mijn HTC One S met Tapatalk
I am having the same problem when trying to get S-OFF. I have succesfully rooted and installed the Super CID. But when entereing the following command during the Facepalm S-OFF process, it fails:
Code:
c:\Development\android\UNLOCK>adb shell su -c "/data/local/tmp/soffbin3"
Segmentation fault
My software version is also .9. So maybe just this partition part is locked with this software version.
I have already tried installing RUU .8, but it failed the first time. Will do it again the other day.
It is possible considering I had the same Hboot and specs as you did.
To get S-OFF, I first ran the 3.14.531.11 RUU (I have T-Mobile) [Note: make sure to lock the bootloader before you run the RUU - fastboot oem lock] The RUU can be found http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=Ville <- that thread. Considering you might be using a different network and what not, just make sure the supported RUU for moonshine is the one you run for you phone.
After that I ran moonshine S-OFF. I tried with Windows 8, I kept getting stuck on the process. What I ended up doing was partitioning a spare Harddrive and installing Ubuntu on it (partitioning is part of the installation). You can maybe run it from the disk as well, but I have not tried it. Moonshine worked the first run for me and got S-OFF.
With the MaximusHD you need SuperCID as well, with S-OFF, you can just use the command fastboot writecid 11111111 when you got the fastboot usb.
Flash rom, follow the instructions for the firmware. Reflash the firmware if you have troubles with the internal SD.
My two cents, I tried Maximus, it's is nice, however I like using my phone has a wireless hotspot for my tablet, and it doesn't allow me that function. I used Dark Jelly instead and haven't had that problem. However tethering and bluetooth is causing me some troubles. Just throwing it out there. Hope this helps.
