If you're rooted then you're s-off'd then I recommend that you stay away from OTA's if you want better software go for a custom rom.

You can fallback to S-ON, and then OTA update then S-OFF and Root again.
You can follow my diagram below in order to fallback to S-ON.

I don't suggest doing an OTA update it only screws the Stock ROM, I did mine and it had Hell Battery Drain.. so I decided to S-OFF and ROOT mine

When you are S-OFF and install other ROM, you can't install an official ROM via OTA.
If the ROM installed is OTA updateable, you can download it from: Rom Manager app from Market.

I've just a question about the passage from the state SHIP S-OFF 6.98.1002 to SHIP S-ON 0.98.000x: since it is necessary to use RUU, does the phone get wiped? What if I use Linux?

In this case you can download RUU in ZIP format, rename it to PG88IMG.zip, copy to SD card and reboot your phone to bootloader to flash.
You can find RUU in zip format here:
http://goo-inside.me/ruu/saga/full
BTW you have to switch your hboot to ENG S-OFF 0.98.2000 first.
(see my diagram above)

I am a bit puzzled... So is it possible to s-on again (to ota update ofcourse) without full wipe?? I truely hate backup/restore in gigabyte era...

According to my diagram above, you will fallback to s-on by executing RUU file, and this will do full wipe ofcourse.
I'm not sure if we can flash S-ON hboot over hboot ENG S-OFF 0.98.2000 by fastboot or adb command or not.

Hi. Thanks for the answer. All pretty much clear now...

Hi,
Sorry to hijack this thread but I'm not sure what (if anything) I would need to do to get this official ROM and ideally rooted when available.
I am currently S-Off via XTC Clip and rooted, my H-Boot details are: 0.98.002.
From previous experience I cannot do an OTA update but in any event need root.
Sorry to be stupid but any ideas what I would need to do when a rooted version of the update becomes available.
Many thanks,
Damian

xe stuck at bootscreen, no boot into recovery

i have unlocked my phone using htcdev.com, rooted it and then have i tried to install the ota ics but this didnt work *facepalm* (it is stuck at the htc bootscreen) so i tried to install a gb rom so that everything should work but my /recovery is still s-on. so what do i have to do to get my /recovery to s-off so that i can install a rom?
bootloader says:
***UNLOCKED***

You are one of many in a sad bunch of people.
So many things wrong in what you just said.
"i have unlocked my phone using htcdev.com" - bad choice.
"rooted it" - how ?
"S-ON" - so, not able to flash anything.
"my /recovery is still s-on" - does not make sense at all.
What you should have done:
First - tried the Revolutionary tool
Second - Taco root, get temp root
Third - tried the Revolutionary tool again
Forth - flashed custom recovery, flashed su-binary to get su access

but i cant use adb it isnt working and i dont know why, so how do i use taco root?

There's an RUU that, if I'm not mistaken, will rest everything back to HBoot 1.17 with S-On and the bootloader locked. You would then be be able to use revolutionary to unlock the bootloader and proceed with rooting the right way.
But I'm not sure if you can do that when you're S-On.
Can someone else chime on if I'm on the right track?

Get a pimply teenager to do it for you.

everything is done for me: flashed another recovery
for those who are still searching to fix this problem: install fastboot, search for 4ext recovery, download the .img, put it in the folder where your fastboot.exe is placed, use cmd: cd <the folder where fastboot.exe is placed>, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and start bootlaoder -> recovery, then you have just to install a gb rom, this should solve the problem

This thread is a good lesson in life.
Does everyone see what Azyrael did? He solved his problem without out help....but then he came back here anyway to post the results and the solution.
This is how it should always be done! You get a thanks just for coming back.
It makes everyone's life better and avoids this...

[Q] Can't flash RUU and get back to stock Rom

Hi,
I tried to flash RUU rom into my phone (DESIRE S).
I followed the instruction in the "How to S-ON the HTC Desire S, Unroot, remove Revolutionary and Clockwork Mod recovery" thread.
Apparently I tried to flash wrong RUU.
The flashing stopped in the middle and I get error massage that the version not matches my phone.
However my HBOOT change to version 2.00.0002 and he's locked and S-ON.
I unlock my phone with HTC tool HTCDEV. I flash CWM recovery and restored the previous ROM.
I tried to flash deferent RUU, this time I check my phone (from India) and find the right version, but I get another error massage.
RUU I tried to flash:
RUU_Saga_S_hTC_Asia_India_2.15.720.3_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_226809_signed.exe
I think my HBOOT is the problem.
My HBOOT:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT 2.00.0002
RADIO-382.10.08.04_M
Emmc-boot
Aug 22 2011,15:22:13
Which HBOOT image I need to flash, to flashing the RUU?
Thanks!

Before flashing another RUU, use misc_version script to "downgrade" your phone's main version.
It needs root.

can't get ROOT
Thanks for your answer
I solved this problem before I see your answer – I relock my HBOOT and run RUU exe file.
But now I have other problem:
I can't ROOT my phone
I tried 3 deferent methods:
[EXPLOIT] [26.04.2011][v1.2] GingerBreak APK (root for GingerBread)
[EXPLOIT]SuperOneClick v2.1.1 (Finally fixed!)
[EXPLOIT] Revolutionary - zergRush local root 2.2/2.3 | revolutionary root exploit
superOneClick – stuck in step 7 "WaitForDevice"
How can I get ROOT?
Thanks!

Downgrade or unlock the bootloader. The guides for both of those are in big INDEX thread.

u dnt need to downgrade
just unlock with ur unlock.bin code
then root with SuperOneClick
am sure of this steps cos am on stock and dat was d process i uesed
cheers

Search. Please.

Firstly, never ever flash an RUU on an s-off phone again.
Does fastboot work? Somehow you'll have to install a recovery again (previous was overwritten by RUU) if possible

[Guide] How to return/ go back to 100% stock for warranty

This Guide will help you reset your HTC One S back to 100% stock form with no trace of modifications. For example to claim your warranty.
*******I am not responsible for any problems you encounter. I am simply informing you of what is needed to complete a restoration to Stock. Read all steps and commands carefully and perform them in the correct order.********
S-Off
You need S-off to change your lock status flag so you need S-off for this guide!
If your not S-Off yet first get S-off trough this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155135
There are also other S-Off methods, feel free to use them, although I can only confirm Facepalm S-Off works.
Change your CID
If you have Super CID (11111111) change your CID back to your original CID.
There is a list of CID number here: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f692/needed-all-htc-cid-list-1552412/
You can get your current CID by typing: 'fastboot oem get_identifier_token' when you are in fastboot mode.
You can change your CID by typing: 'fastboot oem writecid yourCIDnumber' when you are in fastboot mode.
You can also use one of the HTC One S toolkits like Hasoon200 toolkit or the toolkit form squabbi.
Change your lock status flag
You can change your lock status flag back to locked with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155955
For me the noob friendly didn't work the old school method did work though. Maybe the noob friendly method requires you to downgrade your firmware first.
Downgrade firmware
If you're using a rom that requires you to update your firmware, like Maximus HD, you maybe need to downgrade your firmware first. I'm not sure it's necessary but I did it anyway, just to be sure.
You can do this with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322755
Run a RUU
Now you can run a RUU.
Choose a RUU that's compatible with your provider and country and preferably the most current version.
Make sure you get a signed RUU otherwise you can get in trouble trying to get S-on.
Here is a list with RUU's: http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=Ville
Although the downloads are stable it may be a good idea to check the MD5-sum.
I use this one with success for a dutch unbranded Htc one s: RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4.exe
Check lock status flag
When the RUU is done reboot in the bootloader and check if your lock status flag says '*** LOCKED ***'.
S-on
Now you're ready to get S-on again.
Reboot into the bootloader and make sure you're in fastboot usb mode. Then type 'fastboot oem writesecureflag 3' in console.
Check
Your phone should be completely stock with no trace of modifications at all!
You can check the bootloader, i should look like something like this:
*** LOCKED ***
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.12.0000
RADIO-1.11.50.05.28
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.00815
eMMc-boot
Good luck!

It's written for the S4 version.
But if you have S-off it probably would work, although i'm not sure the lock status flag thing works for the C2, and you shouldn't use the link to downgrade your firmware.
You can get a RUU for the C2 here:
