[Q] [HELP] Vodafone Branded Desire S - Problems with installing Custom Recovery!

Hi there,
I want to install Miui Rom on my Desire S (vodafone branded). I can achieve root
via SuperOneClick, but i have got Hboot 2.00.002 so i can't S-off my device.
Is there any way to install a custom recovery so i can install Miui or different Roms?
I tried to install CWM Recovery via Rom-Manager, it said "successfully installed" but when i boot into Recovery there is just a Smartphone
with a Red Triangle, so no custom recovery at all, i think it's because i don't have S-Off.
So, i only want to install some Roms, so i need a custom Recovery, how can i install it without s-off?
Here are some information about my phone:
HTC Desire S - Vodafone Germany Branded
Android Version 2.3.5
Sense 3.0
Software Number: 2.10.161.3
Baseband Version: 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M
Build Number 2.10.161.3 CL156318 release-keys
HBoot 2.00.002
Bootloader is UNLOCKED via HTCDev
I Hope you can help me.

All you are achieving is temp root.
You can either unlock your bootloader with HTCdev, then flash a custom recovery or;
Downgraded to an older ROM and then s-off like normal.
Both are well discussed on forum.
And while you can, make goldcase, just in case you need it later.

Now I'm in the following Situation:
I've got S-On , Hboot 2.00.002, BUT Clockworkmod Recovery installed.
I did a Backup, wiped everything and installed the newest MIUI 2.1.20 i think, worked well in cwm, but when I reboot my phone it just stays at the HTC bootscreen.
My bootloader is unlocked via HTCdev.
So i have an unlocked bootloader, Clockwork Recovery but S-On, but custom Roms don't work... is it because of S-On ?
I tried to Downgrade but none of the tutorials worked for me, the problem was:
I pushed the 2 files misc_version and zergRush to /data/local/tmp and did the other adb commands, got (Temp)Root with zergRush and changed the Version to 1.27.405.6 i think, then I downloaded a HTC RUU (i've tried the vodafone UK but i live in Germany and the HTC Europe RUU) so my phone boots into HTC Bootloader but then the RUU Installer says "cannot install RUU because it's the wrong installer " or something like that...
so i don't know how i can downgrade to get S-Off?

you need to change the cid to install other ruus. or use the ruu matching your cid or
downgrade bootloader to the old one so revolutionary is working and s-off the device with revolutionary

I Just want to flash a custom Rom.
BUT Finally i got it!

This is the solution for installing custom roms without downgrading

Yeah you need to flash the boot/kernel afterward when on the 2.00.0002 hboot.

when it is released for hboo 2.16
Maybe impossible downgrade hboot to 2.15?

Maybe never, maybe today. No, you cant... because everything is write protected, you cant even brick your phone.

Look at the second post in this thread it might help you mount the sdcard correctly forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448950 also check out the unbridled project I'm pretty sire they can get you back to an older hboot if you send your phone to them...

Need help installing RUU, S-off, hboot 2.16

Hi all,
I installed MaximusHD ROM and messed up my partitions so now I have only 2 GB available. I want to fix it by going back to stock ROM.
Currently my phone is superCID, s-off, hboot 2.16, radio 1.20.
From what I've read I should be able to install any RUU but I have not been able to. I tried to do it in fastboot mode and in normal mode when Android is on but without success. Setup starts but some unknown error appears, I think it is error 105... or 150.
I've followed some guides here but the setup won't work because of the unknown error Do I have to look for a specific RUU ?
The only thing that I have not done is to lock my bootloader prior to installing the RUU. However the guides state that I do not have to lock it if my phone is S-OFF.
If I do fastboot getvar all next to "version main" I see nothing, it is empty.
Please help!

I changed my CID to HTC__001 but this did not help Please help me to get back to stock !

I had similar issue what I ended up doing was pulling the recovery image out of the install package and flashing it via fastboot and it restored my sd storage I had to use the modified recovery supplied I would try that- I believe you could change your cid to whatever RUU your trying to flash and it should work also,its seems some have downgraded to hboot 2.1.5 to flash RUU (read,read,read)best of luck

Somehow I fixed my problem yesterday. I was not able to install RUU however I was able to change my hboot back to 1.04 ... afterwards I installed the latest version of TWRP and suddenly I was able to see stuff on my internal memory. Prior to that TWRP 2.3.x.x was not able to detect my whole internal memory. Anyway... my advice to people is not to install MaximusHD via CWM although it says that it works. It does work, but it is easier with TWRP

[Q] i need your help please

So my problem is the next one, i recently formated my sdcard which had maximushd rom on it and running as it was my daily rom, at te time i was on supercid but then i had started to do stupid things , i had s-on back on, changed the cid to roger001 but the phone is bought from germany unbranded ( i don`t know what was in my head), now i have managed to install a new rom on the phone but
My storage shows only 48mb, and i have tryed the tricks with stock recovery and then twrp 2610 it shows up 12gb but then after i install the rom is back to 48 or even 0mb,

RUU_Ville_U_Rogers_WWE_1.84.631.9_Radio_0.17.31501S.10_2_10.27.31501S.10L_release_265373_signed.exe on this one now it says that my usb connection is lost right at the begining running it from windows or if i am flashing it trough fastboot it says remote sygnature fail,

Ok so first wipe your sd card for full storge
The download and use rumrunner if ths t dose not work use moonshine and if that one dise not work use firewater <this is for s-off
Now go back to your original cid and find stock recovery and run the ruu fir your phone
If you got this far then your phone is back to stock with s-off

[HELP] cant go after boot screen

hi,
i undergrade 2.15 from 2.16 but i had mount sd card error so i upgrade it again to 2.16 but now when ever i flash any rom i stuck on boot screen or in cynogenmod rom it is restarting in boot animation ... please help me ... i am very tense ... i have s-off , unlocked , radio 1.20 cid 111111

I had the same problem, it was a directory rights problem (/mnt/sdcard if I remember correctly). The best thing to do once you downgrade your HBOOT is to use a RUU to go back to a known working base and then install the ROM you want.
