Flashing custom ROM on S-on device can be a little tricky. So, here i will teach how to flash custom ROM on S-on devices.
First download a supportable ROM.
Copy it on your phone.
Then on the PC , extract it and copy the boot.img in adb/fastboot directory.
And connect USB.
Then type following commands.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
After your phone go into bootloader
Code:
fastboot devices
It must show your device.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Wait until it's complete.
After that immediately go to Recovery (without a reboot) and flash the zip you copied earlier. Do some installation process.
Congratulation, u flashed custom ROM on your S-ON device.
Thanks dude it helps me a lot.

Hey XDA
I tried to install CM9 today, it fail...
I have unlocked my phone using htcdev.com.
Then I followed this:
If you unlocked your phone via htcdev.com, you must flash the included
boot.img after flashing the ROM in recovery:
- Boot into fastboot, either by:
- Turning phone on whilse holding VOLUME DOWN, or
- adb reboot bootloader, or
- using an option in your recovery (eg. Reboot Bootloader)
- Connect your phone to your PC and copy the boot.img from the ROM .zip
to the same place as fastboot.exe and issue the following command:
- fastboot flash boot boot.img
Failing to follow these instructions on a htcdev.com unlocked device will
cause the ROM to fail to boot.
And now it just stands with a mobile and a ret warning sign. I can get in bootloader, but that's all. I have the CM9.zip on the sdcard but I forgot to run it before I did the above mentioned. I have tried to reset the mobile from bootloader nothing helps
Pleas help me what should I do?
So what is your problem exactly ? Do you have a custom recovery like 4EXT ? It's needed in order to apply the CM9.zip.
None
No i have not installed any recovery app. I cant start my mobile

1.install a custom recovery like 4ext or cwm
(2. Backup current system) this time you don't have to do this since you don't have a working system at the moment.
3. Full wipe (data, system, boot, caches... Not sd card) from recovery
4. Flash ROM zip from recovery
5.flash boot.img via adb
6.reboot
7.done

I'm assuming you know how to boot into fastboot and use fastboot and adb commands. If not, just click on the link in my signature under Helpful links.
Once you're done, just put the attached file in your adb folder, then boot into fastboot and issue the command ;
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

You will now have the custom 4EXT Recovery. From there, just follow the steps you outlined in your first post, and you should be up and running.
Cheers.
EDIT: I see you already got it working while I was composing my post. Congrats!
@op could you please update the thread title to something like [solved]

I have UNLOCKED boatloader but S-On
i searched the whole forum to find a way to gain root without s-off , but I didn't find
I tried to flash CWM but it didn't work .. what should I do ???
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452173to
This definitely works. Tested it myself.
Here is the link for recovery used to flash through fastboot: link
Extract recovery.img, put it in a folder where your fastboot tools are, connect your phone to pc in fastboot mode, open cmd, navigate to the folder where your recovery.img is and then execute this command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
After that, reboot into recovery and flash su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip from the recovery (install from sd card option).
That's it.

I used the HTC website to Unlock the Bootloader (still S-ON though) on my 2.02.0002 Hboot Desire S.
I flashed Ext4 Recovery Touch via adb
Created Nandroid backup
Wiped everything
Flashed a custom Cyanogenmod 11, but phone wouldn't start (black screen)
Then I read that on S-ON devices, new custom Kernels have to be flashed. The creator of the ROM provided a Kernel zip file, but on extraction, there is no boot.img file which I can flash through adb
Posting here cause I can't post in the Developer forums.
Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks
You don't need a custom kernel, you can extract the boot.img from the rom zip file

With S-ON you need to extract boot.img form ROM zip and put it in same folder as fastboot and adb.Then connect your phone and in bootloader choose fastboot ( should be red fastboot usb ).
then open cmd in same folder and write
Code:
fastboot devices
if you get some devices there some numbers then you are connected.Now you go for flashing boot.img with
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
it will say ok if it is good.
Then reboot and CM would boot. It will take some time to boot first time so wait...no more then 10min.
Read this about Fastboot and ADB Fastboot setup.
Everytime you flash new rom you need to do this.Even if you restore backup.BC your phone is S-ON.
Yeah, I learned this shortly after creating the thread.
This was my first time messing around with roots and custom ROMs.
Thanks anyway
i have htc one xl evita stuck on this build for devloper purpuse only i download xl tool and flash recovery twm 2.5.0 and come in recovery mode i flash cm 10.1 but now i want go to stock rom i dont found stock rom for same cid so i want super cid but i have s-on i want to s-off in cm 10.1 and twm 2.5.0 only working other recovery not working
Get rid of the toolkit, it's flashed an unusable version of TWRP that's full of bugs, and it'll only cause more problems. Download the latest version of TWRP here:
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/evita/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-evita.img
Place the file in your fastboot folder (this is where fastboot.exe is located on your PC), connect your phone in fastboot mode (reboot to bootloader, connect usb cable, "fastboot usb" should now be displayed on the screen), open a command prompt from within your fastboot folder (shift + right click, select open command prompt here), and enter the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-evita.img
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you have a good recovery version go and download the Kickdroid XL 5.0 ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400766
Install that ROM with TWRP. Now you can go and get s-off here:
http://Rumrunner.us
Now you can flash whatever you like. But Kickdroid is actually a pretty good ROM, very close to stock but with some optimisations.
