[Q] Unrootable Desire S? [Solved]

Hi this is my first post after rooting my girlfriends htc Wildfire S successfully using the guides on here which were very good.
After how good her phone came out I have tried to do the same with my desire s but this is the story so far,
XTC clip used so its s-off but after trying to use 4ext recovery needed it rooted,
Superoneclick didn't work just Hangs on step 7 and the same with gingerbreak.
Then I used htcdev to unlock the bootloader as i thought this would be the prob as no one seems to have experienced this prob but its still the same.
I cant get a rooted rom as I have no custom recovery, unlike the wildfire s it seems to be all play store based and wants root permissions.
Currently
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
I gotta have missed something as I couldn't find a similar thread although if I have I apologise in advance, but are there any ideas on this one?
I'm going to try gingerbreak 1.20 one more time but any suggestions?
Cheers

Having S-OFF you should have flashed PG88IMG.zip with custom recovery and engineering bootloader, and do whatever you want from there. For example, just flashing Superuser update.zip.
You went seriously wrong and made a mess.
To solve it properly, you'll need to reinstall RUU and lock the bootloader back to arrive back to the point where you went wrong.
P.S. Questions belong in Q&A, which is - Questions & Answers. Kinda obvious, no?

[Q/Help]Boot loops on various ROMS

Hi Guys (long time listener first time caller etc etc)
I finally got the courage to install a custom rom on to my HTC One XL (Telstra). After unlocking it installing the custom bootloader (2.5.0.0 TW) I have tried to install some roms and get no where with a few of them and boot loops if they actually install.
The two I can get to install but boot loop are ViperXL and cyanogenmod 10.0.
I am thinking I am doing something really simple wrong, but have tried a lot of things but no luck.
Details below; If there is anything else which might shed some light please let me know.

Is anyone able to steer me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance, Jase

oh, I did install all of Telstra's updates prior to starting. The last one brought android up to 4.1.2 I think.

Welcome mate.
Couple of things...
The HBoot version you have won't allow you to update the boot.img of the rom your flashing as part of rom installation. You have 2 options - first is to s-off which pretty much lets you do whatever you like. Check in the original development thread for how to s-off if you're interested.
The second option is to flash (install) the boot.img in bootloader mode.
You can do that either before or after you flash the rom. Before I was s-off I did it both before and after.....
There's a few ways to do it including using adb or some apps will do it automatically for you. Take a look here for one example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870455
And the second thing - good idea to post questions in the Q&A thread. More people look through there so you'll get your answer faster.

Get rid of twrp5.0, had the same issue, flaahed back to 2.3.3.1 and all is good...

Thanks guys. I did the fastboot flash boot and it all came good.
Appreciate the help!

Need help: One XL reboot randomly

Hi, I don't know if I can post it here, but I really want to get it solved.
My phone keeps rebooting itself randomly, many times a day, and getting hot while rebooting.
I have been switched between ROMs, but they all have the reboot problem.
I also do the RUU many times to make sure my phone went back to the right status, but it is not solved.
Okay, my phone is AT&T HTC ONE XL Running on Clean-Rom P7.0
Bootloader unlocked
S-OFF
CID-11111111

eMMC-boot
Downgraded touch panel's firmware
T.W.R.P v2.6.3.0
Anyone got the same problem? Hope I can get it solved.
Thank you very much

Wrong section, and try to do some reading and searching before asking a question that has already been asked and answered dozens of times.

Odd, this thread got moved from the EVITA forum to here.

Then they are sleepy over there, if it says EVITA in the bootloader you are 100% wrong here

As much as I don't want to see this thread here (same question that has been asked and answered dozens of times), at least its finally in the right place now.
It went from: EVITA General forum > ENDEAVORU Q&A > EVITA Q&A.

[Completed] [Q] Can not get past Fastbootafter attemptig to get back to stock

IAfter Rooting, S-Offing and installing the Viper ROM, I could not get Wifi to turn on due to a firmware issue. After countless failed attemts to get it to the current version, I decided to move back to stock.
Now, I am inable to get out of Fastboot. When I tried to flash a new ROM, I get the messgae that adb can not see my device. I have no idea what to do, please help.
On top of the astboot screen, it says:

PLEASE help, I' scared!! Thanks in advance

Hi,
I need to know your device make and model number to point you towards help.
Thanks!

Geeze, I'm sorry.
I am using an HTC One m8 with at&t. I'm not sure how to get the model number.
Also, I must have erased TWRP somehow, because when I select recovery from the Fastboot window, it brings me back to the same place.

You are s-off and super CID, easy to fix...
Here's a guide on updating firmware,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/firmware-flashing-panic-attacks-t2824048
And you can also flash recovery with fastboot again, same as you did the first time, then put a rom on an external sd card using another device, and flash it on your device from recovery from the sd card.
If you need help on those things, or want other ideas... The place to ask questions about your device is here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/help-thread-htc-one-m8-questions-t2897783
Good luck!

Thanks. I'll gove it a try tomorrow when I'm not so tired.
I seriosely can't thank you enough for responding.

That did the trick! You're a life saver, I have no idea how I missed that.
One last question. Now that Firmware is update, it looks like I'm using the google ROM. Can I change it back to Venom i I prefer?

That question should probably be asked in the thread I linked 2nd. I've never converted mine to GPE, or back. ?

You're right, sorry about that.
Seriously, I have no idea how I missed that article but THANK YOU!!!! You quite literally saved my job (conference calls I needed to be on).

[Completed] My HTC one s is soft-bricked!

Hi everyone,
I'm not very good in this technical business but a few months back I rooted my phone successfully and yesterday I thought i'll flash a new rom (abit late I know). It was a cyanogenmod M12 rom that I installed. Everything was going well until when I was in the "recovery" mode of my phone. After successfully wiping data and wiping cache, I clicked "reboot system now". Now my phone doesn't get past the HTC logo part. I tried the same thing with the "liberty-MAX-Sense-5.5" rom but still the same thing, it won't get past the HTC logo. Here is my current status:
Tampered
Unlocked
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.13.0000
RADIO-1.11.50.05.28
OpenDSP-V31.1.0.45.0815
eMMC-boot
I am in CWM recovery v6.0.4.8. Oh and I should mention, my HTC one s is the s4 version.
I tried to go through some tutorials but they are not clear enough for my limited brain. Any help will be much appreciated, especially if you can please explain everything very thorough for me, step by step. Thanks

Hi there
You'd be best served asking for help from the experts who own your device, here
