I guess your latest update (assuming you have an unbranded phone) should be Android v2.3.5 & Sense v3.5/3.6 unless ICS update has released already.
If your phone is branded, you will need to contact your operator to know about the software updates for your phone.
Anyway, to check for the latest update, go to Settings>About Phone>Software Updates>Check now.
If you really can't wait for an update, you can S-Off your phone, flash recovery of your choice, flash appropriate firmware & then apply a stock/custom ROM. Here is a guide for the same.
so what can i do in this case if my phone unbranded?

As I said check for the update from settings. If it says no updates found, try switching off and rebooting your phone & then checking again.
If it again says no updates found & if you really want new software, then you can follow the last suggestion in my previous post. Note that the last option can (and in some cases, will) void your warranty, especially if not done properly.

ROMs are all about experience mate. If you like something, it's not necessary that I might like it too. Also true the other way round.
What version of android and sense are you looking for?
Also what features are most important to you?

Well, ARHD 6.6.4 is stable & pretty smooth and has almost no bugs at all.
Ordroid 7.1.0 has a bug or two, but is stable & fast. I personally feel it also gives better battery performance, although, I can't say it for sure since it's been here just a day now.
You could also try an Insert Coin ROM, which I haven't been able to do myself, and hence cannot tell you anything about it.
Don't go for senseless ROMs yet, since I'm not really sure how stable they are and I wouldn't want to recommend something to you unless I've atleast heard about it.
All ROMs can be found in the Android Development section.

If you would like to S-OFF, Install ClockWork Recovery, permanently Root & obtain SuperCID. Follow Steps 1 to 4!
To Debrand or flash an official stock ROM only: follow Steps 1 & 4 only (you may skip step 3 & 4 is you do not need them)
To Root: follow steps 1-3
To install a custom ROM for the first time: Steps 1 & 2 then follow the guide below on how to install a custom Rom (step 3 isn't needed as customs roms are already rooted)
CLICK HERE FOR [GUIDE] TO UNLOCK YOUR SENSATION FREE - WORKING FOR EVERY SENSATION (noobproof) Steps 1-3 Needed! or Steps 1 & 2 plus custom ROM
UPDATE: NEW Recovery 5.0.0.8 - Follow Step 2 below to download and install. you do not need to follow the rest of the steps if you are just updating CWM
For Warranty Purposes/Returns:Follow Step 4 below for removing Clockwork and Root
FOLLOW STEP 5 TO CHANGE BACK TO S-ON - CONFIRMED TO BE WORKING- USE WITH CAUTION
Whether your a noob or not, it nice to see a step by step guide as S-off is developer preview only and doesn't come with much instructions. I have simply Collaborated what is out there into one easy thread. Nothing complex.
here is my very small simple detailed guide. I have put a lot of Time and effort to make sure everyone can benefit so Just push Thanks if it helped
Click here for TROUBLESHOOTING OR FAQ
Step 1. To S-OFF your Sensation - (You do not need to do this if you have S-off already or done this before) - WORKING NOW for TMOUS users
Visit http://revolutionary.io/
download the application for your operating System. AND EXTRACT IT TO A FOLDER
YOU MAY NEED TO DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM- Norton is flagging up Revolutionary as a Virus when it isn't
IMPORTANT
Fill out the form under the download links with your OS, Device, Hboot Version and Serial number. This will give your beta key to enable you to S - OFF. Make a note of this.
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.
To install clockwork recovery for the sensation. Follow step 2!
STEP 2. To INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8
1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277975"]HERE:[/URL] or Multiupload
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)
6. Delete PG58IMG from your memory card and you can now root using step 3 below or install a custom ROM using CWM (Customs Roms are already rooted)
7. OPTIONAL: Boot into recovery or Completely switch off (Fastboot disabled or remove and reinsert battery)
Follow STEP 4 SUPER CID sub steps 1-6 to get adb running
8. Enter the command "adb shell cat /sys/devices/platform/htc_battery/power_supply/battery/status" Phone will confirm it is "CHARGING"
Charging issues fixed with new clockwork recovery. writing is now BLUE not purple or orange
Step 3. To permanently root your Sensation - (This means you will NOT LOSE ROOT on rebooting)
1. Download the file su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip from here: DOWNLOAD
2. Copy su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip to your SD card root folder (main folder of your memory card)
3. Start clockworkmod recovery (instructions below. See To Start Clockwork recovery)
4. BACKUP YOUR ROM USING CWM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ROOT!
5. Navigate to "Backup & Restore" using the Volume Down button and press select (power button to select) then select "Backup"
6. Select "install zip from sdcard" after backing up
7. Then select "Choose zip from sdcard"
8. Then select "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip"
9. Then select "Yes - install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" to confirm
10. Then go back
11. Then reboot.
12. You're rooted!
If you are getting error messages regarding S-OFF, Rooting or installation - Troubleshoot below in post 2
See POST 2(HERE):
STEP 4. WRITE SUPER CID [YOU ONLY NEED TO DO THIS ONCE]- (continue from step 11 below if you have already done this)
(allows you to flash ANY ROM to the device regardless of the carrier. Just click RUU.EXE)
1. Download adb tools here: download for WINDOWS or download for LINUX or from the attachments below
2. On your pc click on your local disk C: Drive (or D: drive for some) (WINDOWS users: Start > My computer > Local Disk (C)
3. Create a new folder called "adb" and extract the files from adb.zip into it. Make sure it doesn't create another folder in the adb folder when extracting
4. open command prompt (or terminal for linux) and type "cd" "followed by the path to your adb folder" (windows users can type "cd C:\adb")
5. Ensure your phone is switched on (regular home screen) and connect it by USB in charging mode (Ensure usb debugging is on settings)
6. enter the command "adb devices". This is to confirm your phone is connected. (It should come back with list of devices attached and your serial number)
7. enter the command "adb reboot-bootloader". (nothing further required device WILL reboot in bootloader)
IF it doesn't you can Manually put the phone in the bootloader/hboot mode
Navigate to fastboot by pressing volume down and pressing power button to select (power off > vol down + power on)
It will take you to the fastboot bootloader screen on your phone
Connect your phone via USB
Your Screen should now read fastboot USB
8. enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"
9. enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader (Wait for it to reboot the bootloader)
10. enter the command "fastboot getvar cid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]
11. enter the command "fastboot reboot"
12. You can now flash any ROM you like.
To reinstall any stock ROM after this or De-brand or reinstall a different type of Rom (European, Asian, US).
Just click here to download an Official Rom,
Connect to your phone in charging mode. click the "RUU_pyramid_*****.exe" file you downloaded and follow on screen instructions.
I can confirm SuperCID is successful as i just flashed a Tmous Rom (1.25.***) to my EU unbranded device to check. (added t-mobile tv and other carrier stuff to my apps list)
TO DE-BRAND OR REINSTALL STOCK ROM (Changes to Stock S-off, Removes Root and clockwork)
Reinstall your original stock ROM you had (e.g Vodafone, Tmous, Asian, European unbranded etc. if you are changing back to S-ON)
1. Backup all User Data and Apps (Titanium backup Recommended) SKIP THIS STEP IF YOU WANT TO WIPE EVERYTHING
2. Use the SUPERCID method above. (Confirmed to work)
3. If you cannot get superCID to work. Follow this by Alexp999. HERE: any problems PM ME and i will help
Your phone bootloader will read "PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL" after this, Root and clockwork will have been removed now
STEP 5 - CHANGING BACK TO S-ON - PROCEED WITH CAUTION. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO. BEWARE THERE IS A RISK OF BRICKING READ BEFORE GOING TO STEP 1.
YOU MUST Follow this correctly otherwise you could semi-brick your device (Semi bricks recovery by re-flashing RUU). If you follow it correctly YOU WILL GET S-ON SUCCESSFULLY -confirmed by other users
I cannot be held responsible if anything goes wrong but i will help in every situation. 2 unrecoverable bricks so far. 1 due to not flashing RUU
First time i did this with a custom ROM installed - semi-bricked my device (couldn't boot due to security warning as S-on doesn't work with custom roms), restored it using RUU.exe
Second time after S-off i took the following steps and successfully went back to S-ON without any problems and booted up into stock rom.
Confirmed to work by several others as well as myself
1. Follow Step 4 above to get SuperCID - Skip if you already have it
2. Restore your official stock Rom: Just click here to download an Official Rom RESTORE STOCK EVEN IF YOU JUST RESTORED IT RECENTLY OR ARE ALREADY ON STOCK ROM. This is to ensure nothing gets changed in stock for S-on to be successful
So if you are already on a stock ROM or you just went back to stock ROM, i don't care, restore the stock ROM again using the RUU.exe if you don't want to be bricked!
Connect to your phone in charging mode. click the "RUU_pyramid_*****.exe" file you downloaded and follow on screen instructions.
3. Make sure when you download the RUU. download the same or similiar RUU version as your phone came with (e.g. Tmous or EU or Asian etc). As long as you install a stock rom similiar to what you had you should be ok. FAILURE TO DO THIS MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE.
4. Switch your phone on now and let it boot for the first time and just skip through the welcome screen.
5. Go back to Step 4 - SUPERCID and go through 1 to 7 to get to the fastboot bootloader. (so just do what you did before, put adb files in local disk, adb reboot bootloader etc)
6. enter the command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" (Thanks Dazweeja)
7. Reboot into bootloader using "fastboot reboot-bootloader" or remove & reinsert the battery and press power on while keeping hold of volume down.
8. Bootloader should now read Pyramid PVT Ship S-ON RL.
9. Remove and reinsert the battery. Press power on as normal
You should now have S-on back and you can return your device or do whatever it is covered again under warranty.
10. IF IT DOESN'T REBOOT and bootloader says ***Security Warning**
Remove and re-insert the battery and go back into bootloader and holding Volume Down +power button select fastboot
11. Run RUU_Pyramid_***.exe to reflash stock rom. (the one u just downloaded in step 1) and then reboot. It should work now
The above method works successfully. So do not under any circumstances try this without going back to stock first using Ruu.exe. and Follow the instructions correctly if you want S-on WITHOUT problems Any doubts or questions PM me and i will get back to you and help you.
Donations welcome as i had a very shaky night experimenting and bricking my device (and having a panic attack over it) to find a safe method for successfully getting S-on back for all you out there complaining about warranty.
To Start Clockwork recovery
1. EITHER make sure fastboot is disabled in settings and shut down your phone
This can be done via Settings > Power> Untick "FAST BOOT" at the bottom.
OR take out your battery and put it back in. (this is easier)
2. Keep hold of the volume down button and switch your phone on.
3. Hboot will start. Navigate to recovery with the vol down button. Press power button to select and enter recovery.
To install a Custom ROM - you will not lose data or apps with this method!
1. Download your chosen ROM by other developers in the development threads and copy the ZIP file to your SD Card ROOT directory
2. Start clockworkmod recovery (instructions above)
3. BACKUP YOUR ROM USING CWM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ROOT! (skip this step if you have already made a backup previously)
4. Navigate to "install zip from sdcard" using the Volume Down button and press select (power button to select)
5. Then select "Choose zip from sdcard"
6. Then select "your_chosen_rom.zip"
7. Then select "Yes - install your_chosen_rom.zip" to confirm
8. Then go back
9. Then reboot.
10. First boot will take quite some time -This is normal, i know you want touch your nice shiny phone but BE PATIENT - ENJOY!
Special Thanks to AlphaRev, unrEVOked Team, Bin4ry & to everyone else that helped with this GUIDE and with S-off and Dazweeja with S-on

I've been searching around for hours now trying to work this is and, as always happens here, the information is a mess and disparate.
Is anyone able to link me a good walkthrough to do this? I'm not new to rooting terminology generally but I am totally new to the Desire S.
HBOOT is as above, S-ON, 2.3.5.
Thanks.
There is a nice thread for beginners and others in the general section. Also there is an INDEX thread in the Development section. All the info you need is there. Only some info that you may not find explained in this guides:
currently there are 2 ways to achieve what you need:
1) unlock with htcdev.com (but stays S-ON)
2) S-OFF with the Revolutionary tool (only older bootloader supported - 0.98.0000 and 0.98.0002)
Option 1 will give you the ability to flash custom recoveries, kernels and ROMs. The cons of this way are as follows: you are officially agree with HTC that you are voiding your warranty. The kernel has to be flashed via fastboot or in other words you need a PC each time you want to flash a new ROM. Going this way also means that you cannot change your radio and bootloader to another version (not that there is a reason to do so...).
Option 2 will give you a completely unlocked device with the ability to flash anything you want on it, but to get it you have to downgrade your system to a supported by Revolutionary exploit. And the need to flash the kernel separately is not present here (IMO it is the main advantage)
I hope the above is clear enough and after making the decision of which will be your method the detailed steps can be found in the guides I have mentioned in the beginning.
Good luck

My main problem now is that I can't get ADB/HTC Drivers to work on this computer. I keep getting device not found.
So I can't perform the required steps in the guides for HBOOT downgrades :/
Have you installed the HTC sync product as that usually installs the required HTC driver

I've installed Wubi and am now trying, poorly, to install ADK/JDK for it. I'm hoping this will allow me to see the device.
I have a screenshot of what windows says, I'll upload it when off Ubuntu.
Most of the guides are for Windows, you can still do everything under Linux, but you have to search more. There is a link for Ubuntu adb setup in the guide in my signature, check it

I've got it set up now on Ubuntu. The issue now is that the phone won't go into USB debugging mode. It just doesn't. I need it to do so to give permissions to ADB and to use ADB commands in general.
It's set to go into that mode in settings but just won't, any ideas?
For reference: ./adb devices see my phone when connect (ZTE Blade), albeit without permissions.
EDIT: also, probably unrelated, the HTC GPS goes haywire all the time. Opening itself without prompt and interrupting everything. It does it every time USB is plugged in too.
EDIT 2: also maybe unrelated but the phone cannot turn off.. holding the power button simply turns the screen off.
Edits may not be relevant but you can see why I'm so desperate to root this phone.
EDIT3: I managed to get the 8 digitis required for the device thanks to going into Fastboot via the bootloader but ADB still won't find it.
I am following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921169
The main issue does seem to be the phone refusing USB debugging mode :/
This sounds like a real mess. I would suggest another approach. Since fastboot is working you can check your main version and use a RUU. And your phone will be like new again

There are exactly 3 downgrade tutorials in the index thread about that
Sent from my HTC Desire S
For rooting my device i found this step. I have read a lot and have adjusted this steps to my needs... Maybe you or someone else can make profit off it.
1. to not avoid warrancy ( Dont use htcdev unlock!)
2. download adb tools http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272595
3. install htc sync for drivers then disable/uninstall htc sync. (windows)
4. check your phone software and hboot version on boot menu (GUIDE LINK)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186401
5. downgrade to oldest RUU with hboot 0.90.xxx something if don’t want use htcdev unlock
1.28.401.1 RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe
above ruu is only fore unbranded europe phones... YOU may need a different one!!!!!!!!!!!
6. to do this it depends on software on phone.
if its new like 2.11.xx-> use tacoroot guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443636
if its older like 2.10.xx use the zergrush guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399331&highlight=zergrush (deze heb ik moeten gebruiken)
7. use revolutionary guide to S-Off And root ( this is possible only in oldest version of original RUU).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186401
http://revolutionary.io/
8Update hboot naar eng hboot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679338
9. install 4ext recovery touch. do your backups.
We're going to install EXT4 recovery. But first download ''4EXT_Recovery_v2.2.7_RC5.zip'' and extract the recovery.img file to the folder where you installed fastboot and adb. If you followed the tutorial in step 1 the folder will be ''C:\android-tools''
Now make sure Fast Boot is turned off on your phone. Go to ''Settings > Power > Fast Boot'' to turn it off. Unplug your phone from your computer, it's time to turn of your phone and boot into your bootloader.
Press Volume Down Button and Power Button at the same time to boot into recovery. Now connect your phone to your computer and select fastboot.
(Power button to select, Volume Down/Up to navigate)
Go to start->run-> type cmd and press enter. A command prompt will now appear.
Type:
cd c:\android-tools [press enter]
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [press enter]
EXT4 recovery is now installed on your phone. Turn off your phone in bootloader menu.
EXT 4 later updaten naar: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377745
10. download preferrable custom rom. Copy it to SDCARD root.
11. Flash custom rom. ( GUIDE LINK )
How To: Flash Custom ROMs using Recovery (Method 1)
(You can use your default recovery from Revolutionary tool but I recommend using 4EXTRecovery)
1. Copy your custom ROM "zip" file to your SD card (Root directory).
2. Turn off your phone.
3. Turn on your phone by holding the power button and the volume down button together.
4. Once you see the white screen, choose "Recovery"
5. Make a full wipe/format and clear all cache.
6. Choose "install from sdcard/zip file" and then choose your Custom ROM zip file from your SD card to flash your Custom ROM.
Optional: If you want to use 4EXTRecovery, just flash it like you are flashing your custom ROM(Step 6). Just do it before you flash your new ROM.
.
12. Enjoy and have a beer!
-when using Win7 you can start CMD in specific folder (avoid 5-10 cd's or long/path/to/folder) by holding shift+right click/open command window here)

How would I do this? Would this revert the HBOOT also?
Build number is 2.10.401.8 CL1536318. Phone seems unbranded. No bloatware or branded boot screen anyway.

It will be like you just bought it (and the hboot version will be the same as now). It will erase your data and apps so better make a Google sync and some backups.
Then reboot the phone to bootloader: power it off completely, then hold Volume down and press power. Still holding the Volume Down button release the Power button after several seconds.
When in the bootloader connect it to PC and make sure that you see FASTBOOT USB written on the phone screen.
Then open command prompt (you said that fastboot is working so I assume you know hot to use it) and type:
Code:

Run it in Windows while your phone is connected in FASTBOOT USB mode as described above.
After RUU finishes your phone should be completely stock and if your problems are software based they should be gone.
IMPORTANT: the above is valid if you did not attempted to unlock the phone via htcdev.com or flash any RUU or other stuff. If you did then some additional steps may be required
Good luck
The problems persisted through the reflash :/
It did go into debug mode ONCE earlier today before I flashed it but it was short lived (and the laptop overheated and shutdown so the connection was lost :/
Post 1: How to unlock your bootloader, flash a recovery and root
Post 2: How to flash a custom ROM and kernel (boot.img)
Post 3: How to reverse everything and go back to stock
Post 4: How to ADB Sideload a ROM
Alright. This is for everyone who wants to root their phone. I've seen MULTIPLE threads of the same question "Can I root my phone and How do I do it". So I hope I never have to see it again! In this tutorial, I use use my toolkit as the way to root. Doing it manually takes forever and that is why I made my toolkit.
Requirements:
HTC One S (charged to at least 70%)
Windows XP,Vista,7 (8 is not officially supported since I don't have the drivers)
USB cable
Ability to read and follow step-by-step
Understanding that I am no way guaranteeing anything. If you screw up your phone, you probably didn't follow my steps and made a foolish mistake.
Let's begin.
Download my toolkit from here.
Link 1 and Link 2
Extract the FOLDER to your C: drive or to your desktop.
MAKE SURE YOUR DIRECTORY DOES NOT HAVE A PERIOD OR SPACE.
Open One S.exe
So now you have my program open. Great.
On your phone, go to Settings -> Developer Options and Enable USB Debugging.
From my toolkit, Click 1. Install HTC Drivers.
After the drivers install, restart your computer.
After your computer loads up, open my toolkit and connect your phone to the computer. Your phone should now be recognized.
Now, click 2. Register at HTCDev. Register with a VALID email address and LEAVE the web browser open.
Now, under the commands section of my toolkit, press Boot into Bootloader.
You should have a nice, white, shiny screen that says FASTBOOT USB.
Click 3. Get Token ID. Look at the pop up and it will tell you how to get the Token ID.
Highlight where it says < < < < Identifier Token Start > > > > all the way to < < < < < Identifier Token End > > > > > and right click and it will automatically copy it.
Now, click Submit Token ID. Your web browser should now open a new tab. Scroll down and in the empty box, paste your Token ID. Press submit. HTCDev now emailed you your unlock token.
Your phone should still be in the bootloader. Now, go to the email address you registered to HTCDev and DOWNLOAD your unlock_code.bin. Press 5. Unlock Bootloader. Locate your unlock_code.bin and it will flash it to your phone.
READ the warning. THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA FROM THE PHONE.
When you agree to it, press the volume up button and press the power button to accept it. Your phone will now restart.
When your phone loads up, go through the set up wizard. Then, on your phone, go to Settings -> Developer Options and Enable USB Debugging.
Under the Extras section, press Perm Root. It will push SuperSU.zip to your phone.
Now, it is time to flash a recovery. The custom recovery is for 2 different devices
TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is a custom recovery that will allow you to flash custom ROMs, Mods, etc.
If your phone is the S3 model, then flash the one that says TWRP (S3)
If your phone is the S4 model, then flash the one that says TWRP (S4)
If your phone is the special edition 64Gb model, then flash the one that says TWRP (Special Edition)
After it flashes, remove the USB cable and have HBOOT selected in bootloader. Press the power button and it will reload to another screen. Press the Volume Down button until you get to Recovery. Press the power button to select it.
Go to Backup and back up your boot and system partition. Always have a back up before you flash or do anything.
After that, go to Install and locate SuperSU.zip. Click it and slide the screen on the bottom to flash it. After it flashes, reboot the phone.
In your app drawer (your menu with all the apps), open SuperSU. If it says the binary needs to be updated, then update it. If it doesn't, then you are fully rooted!
Post 2: How to flash a custom ROM and kernel (boot.img)
The fun part! Now, I will teach you how to flash a ROM and boot.img
Find a ROM you like, the first thing you should do is make sure it is COMPATIBLE with your phone. If you find a ROM that is for AT&T and you have the International model, don't be an idiot and flash it. I will not help you with that since you already agreed to my warning from the first post.
S3 ROMs don't work on S4 models and vice versa.
Also, DO NOT ASK IF YOU CAN FLASH A ROM FROM ANOTHER DEVICE!
Will it work? NO! Will it ever work? NO! Can I flash it anyways? Brick your device, I don't care. I warned you.
Let's get back on task. So you found the ROM you want to try, so go ahead and download it. KEEP THE THREAD OPEN! MAKE SURE YOU READ EVERYTHING AND REREAD IT AGAIN! READ WHAT USERS SAID ABOUT IT AND ABOUT BUGS! GO AHEAD AND READ THE WHOLE ENTIRE THREAD! GAIN KNOWLEDGE!!
Connect your USB cable to your phone. View the folders on your phone. I like to make a folder called ROMs on my phone and transfer it in there.
After you transfer it, open my toolkit and press Boot into Recovery. When you are in TWRP, MAKE A BACKUP!!!
After you make a backup AKA a Nandroid, click Wipe. Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset and System. NOTHING ELSE! If you click anything else, IT WILL WIPE YOUR SD CARD AND YOU WILL HAVE MORE ISSUES ON YOUR HEAD!
So you wiped everything. Great. Your phone is ROMless, Yay!
Now go back and press install. Go to the folder where the ROM you downloaded, is located in. Select the ROM and slide the screen to flash it. After it flashes, press the back button. Press Reboot and Reboot into bootloader. Open the ROM you downloaded from your computer. You should see boot.img. Extract it to your computer. Open my toolkit and press Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and it will flash it.
After it flashes, press reboot from the phone.
Congrats! Enjoy your fully working or borked ROM! Remember, DO NOT ASK FOR ETAs, DO NOT BUG/PM A DEV ABOUT UPDATES, and BE RESPECTFUL TO THE DEVELOPERS!
Post 3: How to reverse everything and go back to stock
Now, let's talk about getting back to stock. There are 2 ways to do this.
1. Flash the stock RUU (If available) (Recommended)
2. Restore your Nandroid (backup that I told you to make earlier)
1. I'll talk about flashing the stock RUU first.
Open up my toolkit and press "Factory RUU" from the links sections. I usually have the most updated RUUs that Football releases on my Dev-Host account. Download the correct RUU for your phone.
Now, back up all your data (pictures, contacts, etc) since this will put your phone back to complete stock.
Connect the USB cable to your phone.
Press Relock bootloader. It may give you a security warning error or it may say failed. Who cares, ignore it. It's normal.
Your phone will boot up normally.
When the phone is fully loaded. Unplug and replug the USB cable back in the phone. Now,run the RUU you downloaded and follow the instructions.
Your phone will be back to stock.
2. Now, we will talk about restoring your nandroid backup.
Connect your phone to the computer. Open up the folder to view the files on your phone.
From your computer, Go to TWRP -> BACKUPS -> (Your hardware Serial Number) -> (Folder you wish to restore to) -> and copy boot.emmc.win to your computer. Rename boot..emmc.win to boot.img
Open my toolkit and press boot into recovery.
Click Wipe. Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset and System. NOTHING ELSE! If you click anything else, IT WILL WIPE YOUR SD CARD AND YOU WILL HAVE MORE ISSUES ON YOUR HEAD!
Press back and press Restore. Choose the backup to restore to.
After it finishes, press the back button. Press Reboot and select bootloader.
Open my toolkit and press Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and it will flash it.
You are now back to your stock Nandroid.
4. How to use ADB Sideload
You may have seen what ADB Sideload around the forums but have no idea what it is. Since the HTC One S does not have an SD card, it makes things harder when you have to flash a ROM.
Here's a scenario when we need to use ADB Sideload.
1. You accidentally wiped your internal SD and have no ROM on your phone
2. You wiped your ROM and forgot to transfer a custom ROM/have no backups(Nandroid) available.
3, You have none of the above and there is no available RUU for your phone. <----- This is a real bummer.
Here are the steps to load on a ROM
I placed TWRP in my toolkit for a reason. CWM does not support ADB Sideload (as far as I know) and TWRP does.
Boot into recovery manually. Turn your device off and hold the VOLUME DOWN + POWER button together until the BOOTLOADER pops up. Press the VOLUME DOWN button until you have selected RECOVERY. Press the POWER button to get into RECOVERY.
Connect the USB Cable to your phone and computer.
In TWRP, click "Advanced" and select ADB Sideload.
Download a ROM to your computer (if you haven't already done so). Rename it as one word. For example CM10.zip, QX.zip, ARHD.zip, etc.
In my toolkit, under the extras section, press ADB Sideload a ROM. Press "Yes" when it asks you if you are in recovery. Then select the ROM you want to install. It will then sideload it to your phone and flash it.
After it finishes, press the back button. Press Reboot and select bootloader.
Pull the boot.img from the zip file and extract it.
Open my toolkit and press Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and it will flash it.
You now have a ROM on your phone!

So when you reverse everything you loose your root access? I ask because let's say I want to root, but wish to stay stock, and than an OTA comes out for T Mobile. I would reverse everything do an OTA ?

You need to flash back the stock recovery to run the OTA but you may have to root it again.

Hopefully this post goes correctly, it's my first post on here. I have the T-Mobile HTC One S. Whenever I get to this step it says there is no internal or external command for 'fastboot', and in another post, you had stated that it should be 1 word for the command prompt, which all of mine are, and it continues to do the same thing, and unfortunately, the all in one kit wont take me to the bootloader. It tries to do it, but then I get the phone with the red triangle with the exclamation point on it. I have to manually get it to bootloader, the command in the tool in one kit wont do it either. Please Advise. Thank you.

Hello All,
First of All before beginning with anything,
I OR ANYONE THAT I HAVE MENTIONED IN THIS TRHEAD ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DEVICE BRICKING DURING THIS GUIDE, YOU ARE DOING THIS ON YOU OWN WISH AND MUST HOLD THE WHOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR ACTIONS
I AM NOT A DEVLEOPER AND DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO BE A ONE ( although i would love to be one )
AND HENCE I CANNOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS UNLESS I KNOW ITS ANSWERS
FOR THE TIME BEING THERE IS NO CERTAIN METHOD TO GET OTAs BACK
SO IF YOU CANNOT GO THE S-OFF WAY AND HAVE WARRANTY ISSUES, AFRAID OF BRICKING , ETC
THEN ROOTING CAN COST YOU TO LOOSE OTA FOR A GOOD TIME
My region ( 708 ) still donot have the stock recovery released and hence i couldn't test
Second , This guide is just a collection of others people work and assistance so the effort is not really mine
I would like to thanks @tbalden and @karlanal as without them i wouldn't be able to root my device
Let the Fun begins and let's know what you need first :
1- Working Adb and fastboot in your pc ( from this thread >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 )
2- HTC drivers ( There is one in the sync manager drive in "My computer" when you insert the usb cable )
This one worked for me just fine but if it didn't, you should download the whole htc sync manager which contains all the needed drivers ( as said by other users through searching in the web generally )
3- CMD >> Working command prompt in your windows
4- SuperSu Zip file which will be flashed through TWRP >>>> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5DGpxyjpIhkLTdFQkdXUzFKSU0/view?usp=sharing
5- TWRP for Our One ME >>>> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5DGpxyjpIhkY2VGZzhNUU95dFU/view?usp=sharing
6- Ofcourse a working Usb cable
STEPS to ROOT starting from Locked Bootloader device :
SAME as the following thread made by tbalden exactly except replacing the TWRP with our own which is already above at the 5th point
MUST READ ALL THE HINTS AND TIPS IN THE INTIAL TOPIC OF THE THREAD AS WE ARE AFFECTED SAME AS THEY ARE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/one-m9-general/howto-rooting-m9-m9pw-htchiaumltuhl-t3116327
STEPS to get back to Stock so we can get OTA :
First method : Same as the One for M9+ >>> ALTHOUGH SEEMS NOT TO WORK BECAUSE WHEN WE INTITALLY FLASH TWRP IT MOUNTS THE SYSTEM AS RW WHICH BREAKS A CERTAIN CODE ( SHA1 )THAT OTA CHECKS FOR IT BEOFRE FLASHING THE OTA
1- Flash Stock recovery of your region AND your current firmware >>> From this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...u-htc-one-m9ew-ruus-hboot-zips-t3211628/page1 )
2- Restore UNTOUCHED system Partition ( That you intially take a Backup for it just after flashing TWRP )
Second method : which will include S-OFF and flashing a whole diffrent Firwmare
( This was mention by Karlanal and i didn't test it yet )
1- S-OFF via sunshine app ( have to pay ant not free )
2-Make supercid via fastboot command
3-After that you can install one of those two firmwares in the RUU thread that we currently have (either asia india or china)
For the Post of this procedure from Karlanal ( I believe he wouldn't mind that i am sharing this )
I REPEAT, HE DOESNOT HOLD ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY FLASHING ISSUES
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63041916&postcount=32
Hope you all have the best rooted device and happy flashing

Thank you so much for this guide. I spend a couple of hours trying to do it by my own before you collect all those information together.
Now I'm root and everything is working as it should be. Just waiting for the 708 RUU to get back to stock recovery for OTA, unless a good custom rom appears

open the folder, now press shift and hold, right click with the mouse somewhere in that folder an choose "open command window here"
now a cmd window appears
now you go into download mode on your htc and connect it with your pc
then issue the following command
fastboot getvar all
you should get your cid number
then issue
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
and that is it, you can reboot and you are supercid

Hi all!
I have HTC One ME Dual Sim. Before rooting procedure I need to unlock bootloader in my device. At page on oficial HTC site - I tried to pass all steps, but I stoped already at second step. I tried to choose: All Other Supported Models and also tried to use HTC M9+ - but anyway I did not find in my device same option in menue, as shown in second step of instruction.
At second step you will bee asked to go into FASTBOOT mode. But it is not presend in my device! I aslo tried to use recomendation as for HTC M9+ - also: no same point in menue for this device in Instruction.
If I choosed to reboot to bootloader - I also can't get FASTBOOT menue!
So, - my question is: how to get into FASTBOOT menue in HTC One ME Dual Sim and in HTC M9+ for passing trough into 3 Step of Instruction? May be exist another way to unlock bootloader for my device, because it is not contain FASTBOOT option in menue.
Thanks!

STEPS to get back to Stock so we can get OTA :
First method : Same as the One for M9+ >>> ALTHOUGH SEEMS NOT TO WORK BECAUSE WHEN WE INTITALLY FLASH TWRP IT MOUNTS THE SYSTEM AS RW WHICH BREAKS A CERTAIN CODE ( SHA1 )THAT OTA CHECKS FOR IT BEOFRE FLASHING THE OTA
1- Flash Stock recovery of your region AND your current firmware >>> From this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...u-htc-one-m9ew-ruus-hboot-zips-t3211628/page1 )
2- Restore UNTOUCHED system Partition ( That you intially take a Backup for it just after flashing TWRP )
Second method : which will include S-OFF and flashing a whole diffrent Firwmare
( This was mention by Karlanal and i didn't test it yet )
1- S-OFF via sunshine app ( have to pay ant not free )
2-Make supercid via fastboot command
3-After that you can install one of those two firmwares in the RUU thread that we currently have (either asia india or china)
For the Post of this procedure from Karlanal ( I believe he wouldn't mind that i am sharing this )
I REPEAT, HE DOESNOT HOLD ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY FLASHING ISSUES

1. At first was successfully unlocked bootloader.
2. By using the program fastboot - was was successfully flashed recowery TWRP (from Top of this topic) into device.
But after trying to login into Recowery mode by long pressing Power + Vol Down - I can't get into recowery menueб because it is not exist in list.
Only:
system info
show barcode
reboot to bootloader
reboot to download mode
reboot
power down
And that's it. But at end of screen appears this inscription:
Security checking failed NOT_FIND_SMART_IO
SD NOT MOUNTED
If I trying to start up with long pressing Power + Vol Up - also just appear the same list without recowery mode option. But at end of screen I can see message:
Detecting smart card...
Reboot to ftm mode failed due to NOT_FIND_SMART_IO
But if to start device after rebooting into normal mode - there is not any problem with SD-card (internal). Device working good.
Please help - how to get into recowery mode?

Second , This guide is just a collection of others people work and assistance so the effort is not really mine
I would like to thanks @tbalden and @karlanal as without them i wouldn't be able to root my device

Unlocked but twrp fail to flash
Hello,
All the credits go to the member "avecilla" from the spanish forum "Móviles dualsim", I just bring his method to XDA and translate it. This is the original thread:
TWRP and ROOT for Lenovo A1010a20
Unlock bootloader
First of all is to unlock the bootloader. You must have enabled in Developer options USB Debuging and to let unlock the OEM (I asume you have the MTK drivers installed)
With the phone on and connected to PC, execute the file auto.bat inside Unlock bootloader folder. MAKE A BACKUP OF ALL YOUR DATA, during the proocess the phone will be restored to fabric. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE OF ANY LOST
The phone will restart in fastboot, unlock the bootloader and restart LOOSING ALL YOUR DATA
Install TWRP
With the phone on and connected to PC, execute the file Flash-TWRP.bat inside Autoinstalador_TWRP. After to install TWRP in fast boot, swith off your phone getting out the batery and waiting for at least 2 min. THE FIRST BOOT MUST BE IN TWRP, in other way the phone Will install the stock recovery again.
To restart in TWRP (VOL+) and Power, in the menu with (VOL+) select Recovery and with (VOL-) select it. In TWRP instal SuperSU.zip (search the forum), clear dalvik/cache and restart.
I got it at the first intent without any problem or brick, but it is your responsibility.
You can get the file in the original thread - "Lenovo.zip" and SuperSU in XDA
I Need Custom ROMs For This Phone
