HTC just released a step-by-step guide and unlock mechanism for couple of their phones include HTC Wildfire S (mine is S-ON and I was able to unlock the bootloader successfully).

Yes, I may give it a try. But what does it mean "sim card Wildfire S"? You mean if I use any SIM card in it?

Wildfire S A510e is the one with a sim card as it is GSM.
The other like the A510c or whatever are CDMA and dont use a sim.

I assume then that mine is A510c ;-)
PS I'm preparing my microSD card for operation. Be at my hand just in case I need you
rom is for Marvel A510e only sim card phone. If you flash some things won't work not sure but you can try and report if it works.
In your step 2 guide is:
In CWM recovery
Wipe Factory, Data, Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache

Where (or how) I can find/turn it?
Ok, found it here, but... I get an error "CID incorrect, Update fail!".
So I followed this instrucction and it seems it's updated (see the attached screenshot) but my bootloader hasn't changed a bit.
What wrong I'm doing? Any help please.
[Update]
It seems I have to look more carefully, it is a change but I can see it when I go to Recovery option. I'm now in CWM Recovery. Doin' an update with your custom ROM...
[Update 2]
Done. Wasn't that hard after all. What do you wanna know? (Apart that my Wildfire is A501e not 'c')
I get this?
C:\android>fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.016s]
finished. total time: 0.016s

I had the same, but had to do an update before any proceeding. On the very beginning you have a list of available carriers (try this link, but probably you will have to log in first: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ruu-downloads). Mine Wilfire S is in T-Mobile D, so I chose TMO DE link (http://www.htcdev.com/ruu/PG7610000_Marvel_hboot_1.08.0099_20111216.exe).
After this update everything went smooth.
Good luck!

With the Hboot Update it works all smooth as you told me
Unlocked bootloader, permroot and custom recovery... Very very smooth.

I've flashed this custom ROM and I'm now testing it.
Apart from that I also downloaded this and this. We'll see. Maybe after some time I'll test them also (unless there is an ICS fully working, stable and fast ).

Hello.
Sorry but I cannot find this guide on http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader.
Where can I find it ?
I'm trying to root a Wildfire S A510e (so, Marvel if I've well understood).
Provider: SFR
Android 2.3.3
Rom version: 1.33.163.2
I don't know the version of the bootloader.
I'm able to gain root shell using zergRush but I cannot fully root the phone because of the bootloader (I guess).
So, how can I S-Off it safely please ? (it's not my phone, I don't want to break it)

Did you registered and log in? I mentioned about it in my post.
Here you have a copy of the guide that still exists on the link you posted above:
BEFORE beginning the Unlock Bootloader process your product requires that you update the ROM to the version listed in the table below first, then download the RUU next to it to enable the unlocking capability.
To install the RUU, simply follow these instructions:
1. On your phone, enable USB debugging. (From the Home screen, MENU > Settings > Applications > Development > Check USB debugging)
2. Connect your phone to the computer using the USB cable that came with your phone. Wait a moment for your computer to identify your phone, this may take a few minutes.
a. If your computer cannot find your phone, you may need to install HTC You can download HTC Sync here.
3. After your computer has found your phone, double click on the RUU to start the process.
4. Follow the on screen instructions to finish flashing the RUU on your phone.
NOTE: If you encounter an error while flashing your phone, it’s possible that the connection to your phone was interrupted. Simply exit the program, disconnect your phone and start over.
a. Fully exit the RUU to ensure there is no conflict of multiple instances of the program running.
b. Disconnect the USB cable from both the phone and the computer.
c. After a few moments, reconnect the USB to the computer and phone. See above if your phone or computer cannot find each other.
d. Run the RUU.
Disclaimer: You may not be able to get further FOTA updates once the RUU was applied to your device.

Ha, this is the guide ... I was expecting a "commands line" guide working on all OS.
I'm on Linux (and sometime Mac), so HTCSync and *.exe are not very useful for me.
Well, I will do it with the zip to put on the sdcard and I hope that it will not break this device ... :/
Thanks for your reply anyway

please help and thx
Your phone isn't rooted. How did you manage to flash recovery onto it in first place?
Search for advanced ace hack kit on xda. Read a LOT about how to use it and once ready, let the kit do its thing. After that you'll be S OFF and able to flash any custom ROM.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD with Beats Audio using XDA App
He unlocked it using the official HTC dev tool. It allows you to flash a custom recovery.
This is an obligatory to the op. Please research before you go and do stuff to your phone. I just don't get how someone will take a risk on there phones.
The reason it didn't boot is because you have to flash the boot image seperately. One simply can't just flash a rom, in cwr and call it a day if you did it using HTC tool.
What you need to do is. Boot back.into hboot select fastboot.
Take the boot image from your rom and place in your folder where fastboot and adb are located.
Then run the command
Fastboot flash boot boot.Img
Fastboot reboot
Its not working

Run a fitting RUU, relock your Bootloader and use AAHK afterwards.
(if you would have taken some time to get into this stuff, you wouldn't be messed up right now "Official HTC Unlock" is not that brilliant compared to AAHK ).
You say you don't know which RUU to use.
Where did you buy your phone? Was/Is it branded?

ok i will thank you but do you know error "155" and how to solve it and if Ruu works with s-on or not and thx again
When do you get this 155-error?
If using a fitting RUU, it will always work afaik But I'm pretty sure.

"As far as I know"
Did you try flashing it in fastboot mode?
Get your device into bootloader and choose fastboot. Try to run the RUU again.

i did but its always error 155 comes up i don't know what to do but i really need my DHD back
Ok, another idea:
You have that stock RUU fitting your phone?
Open explorer here: C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\Appdata\Local\Temp\
Then Run the RUU, it will extract the files to some folder in here, you will see it pop up when opening the RUU (or you run it and simply use search).
Inside there'll be a "rom.zip".

Rename it to PD98IMG.zip, push it to your SD card (in root, not into a folder) and boot your phone into bootloader.
It should check the file and then you have to select "yes" to flash it. Should be fine after it.
DN41
thx I tried to do this before but it keeps tell wrong Image
So you're a hundred percent sure, that you've got a fitting image? Cant believe that it would block a fitting image that method.
Which version did you try? Most recent one?
And BTW: would be great it you would tell before what you already tried instead of letting me explain it and then say "oh i already did that"
DN41
EDIT: I guess it doesnt take the Rom because of the high hboot version (yours is somewhere around 2, "normal" ones around 0.84). Maybe it would be the best to contact HTC's Support regarding that you used their official unlock instead of AAHK.

Am seriously considering going stock with latest 2.17 RUU, thus loosing my ROOT and EVERYTHING !!! Ok all SD is backed up to my HDD ... But still I have no idea ... This is annoying ... Living in total darkness .. Am a n00b coming from iOS the main Android competitor ...

1. Fair enough!
2. It would appear so as the T3 One X flashes differently
3. You have to relock the bootloader to flash an RUU but once flashed you just reflash CWM without unlocking the bootloader

You are awesome for taking the time to help thanks
To relock the bootloader:
fastboot oem lock
Then run the RUU when the phone is connected in fastboot mode and away you go! You shouldn't need the stock recovery as the RUU replaces that but I've always flashed it before using the RUU purely through habit

No Unlocked Bootloader = No Root / CWR

I wanted to unlock my DHD's bootloader and flash a custom rom on it with the S-On method which require me to manually flash the boot everytime i flash a rom.
But i was unable to unlock my bootloader due to i was unable to get the identifier token from fastboot... I check on HTC dev website and it require me to upgrade my bootloader, yet again... failed!
I also tried the bootloader unlocking tool and it automatically download PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029 RUU for me and the result also same as the one i downloaded from HTC dev

Currently i m using 3.13.707.4
As i know the previous owner did unlock and flash a custom rom on it before, and later he send it back to HTC service centre to flash it back to stock gingerbread
Any help / suggestions are appreciated and welcomed
Should download a RUU and reflash the phone?
did you already tried flashing it with different method...
you can read a guide in here..., this thread guide for htc sensation thread, but the guide is the same as for dhd too (but don't rename it like PG58IMG.zip for DHD..because this name code for sensation only, for DHD just rename it PD98IMG.zip)
just read guide especially at step 4.1 and 4.4, 4.4.1, 4.4.2
hope this help..and good luck..

no..you don't needed flashing a full RUU...
just upgrade file firmware / hboot from the htc site that you're already download it..(this is will update it your hboot to version 2.00.0029)
you can try it in two way method..
1. flashing it PD98IMG.zip with fastboot method...
2. flashing it that loaded PD98IMG.zip file via bootloader from your sdcard..

Ok i will try that later...
So basically the bootloader that can't support HTC dev unlock (or those that require a further update) are those without the "LOCKED" or "RELOCKED" status right?
And is the AAHK2 by Phiber2000 safe to unlock, s-off and root my phone?

yap..when htc launching the latest ota update (full RUU for DHD) just had a version of bootloader 2.00.0027, that time the htc itself is not yet officially opening/launching for supporting unlocking the bootloader..because of that..the version 2.00.0027 is not yet support for unlocking..and that's why don't have a state of LOCKED in the top of that bootloader too..so to unlocking you must update bootloader first to 2.00.0029 from that website..
AAHK2 is a simple way to fully rooting and had eng hboot for your DHD...i think that's a safe too..provide it if you follow all step carefully and follow all the rules that are required from that script it self...and because i've already using that script for 6 DHD..all the result is success..even with some of that DHD had some of little troubled while running that script..but i'm still can handle it..
just a advice from me...before you begin running that script..just read carefully and understand it all inside that thread (especially about a branded sdcard that are mentioned in there thread)..and prepared all stuff that are required..
good luck...

I wanted to unlock my DHD's bootloader and flash a custom rom on it with the S-On method which require me to manually flash the boot everytime i flash a rom.
But i was unable to unlock my bootloader due to i was unable to get the identifier token from fastboot... I check on HTC dev website and it require me to upgrade my bootloader, yet again... failed!
I also tried the bootloader unlocking tool and it automatically download PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029 RUU for me and the result also same as the one i downloaded from HTC dev
Here are some pictures:
I am on HBOOT version 2.00.0027, not sure if it was the latest though
Currently i m using 3.13.707.4
As i know the previous owner did unlock and flash a custom rom on it before, and later he send it back to HTC service centre to flash it back to stock gingerbread
Any help / suggestions are appreciated and welcomed
Should download a RUU and reflash the phone?

If your build vesion is not supported to update the bootloader, you will need create a goldcard in order to flash a RUU with a build version that supports unlocking. That is the way...takes time and S-OFF is a better option IMO

I have successfully unlock the bootloader by the method @JJeamy show me, thank you very much for guiding me on how to unlock it :good::good::good:
Actually the process isn't very hard just go to HTC dev and download the bootloader that match your build number and manually flash the update by using fastboot and proceed to unlock the phone as instructed on htc dev

@JJeamy
I'm proud that you wrote that much,if i was in your place i would only redirects @boonwuilow to that chinese software the one i told you easy way to unlock bootloader.
The phone that i have is (should be the HTC One E8) but on the specs it says: HTC M8Sw. It is a dual SIM. It runs on Android 4.4.2. HTC sense version 6.0.
It is from China Unicom, so the google services are not allowed. I tryed to root it. I unlocked the bootloader and i used the One M8 all in one kit from Jasoon. I flashed the TWRP 2.7.0.2 and when i tryed to root it, it didn't work. It is stucked on fastboot mode. I suppose that TWRP was not the godd one. Does any one have suggesion what to do? The phone is no bricked, but i can no go ahead.

I doubt that M8 tools will work over E8 both are technically different device.
Have you tried to do a RUU flashing? I think flashing with official RUU might help to fix your problem.

The bootloader is unlocked, and still have S-ON. I am stucked on fastboot mode. Comparing with the pic you sent, mien says : TAMPERED
UNLOCKED THe CIN is the same. The only difference is the OS which in my case is 1.18.1402.1
Does anyone know how to get rid of that TAMPERED thing?

Tampered is not at all a problem unless if you are going for a warranty claim, it is caused due to your bootloader unlocking and Recovery flashing it all common. Well, do you have a Micro SD? if so,
>>>> Download and copy the RUU (Link already provided) to your MicroSD, also rename the copied RUU to 0PAJIMG (I believe the original name is "0PAJIMG_M8_ACE_DUGL_K44_SENSE60_HTCCN_CHS_CU_1.17. 1402.3_
Radio_1.18.30306251.05G_30.57.306251.00_release_38 1279_combined_signed_2_4" rename to "0PAJIMG")
>>>> After inserting the Micro SD boot to bootloader mode, I hope it automatically loads the file and initiate the process. This is safe and TAMPERED OR S-ON is not a problem here.
Try this and tell me atleast you can get into your system. The first boot after installation mostly take time, have patience.

I am not planing to claim warranty. I just wanted to root the phone in order to get rid of the Chinese staff ASAP and install the Google apps. I will get a micro SD and do as you suggest. But i am not sure whether that RUU is good for the phone. It says M8 ACE, referring to single SIM, and mine is a dual SIM. I don't know. Once i do that I will let you know.

Of cause it is dual SIM "0PAJIMG_M8_ACE_DUGL_K44" stands for Dual SIM variant, it is product RUU name not the model name that we people usually call. I think the "DUGL" makes it Dual SIM variant.
Better than trying the RUU link that I provided see below,
Try this ROM (It may remove Chinese apps, provide root, etc)
USE THIS RECOVERY (Optional but 100% E8 Dual SIM Compatible Recovery)
Installation is same as I said above, all is good only when you get a MicroSD

Additionally, can you explain me why i should go back to original RUU? The phone is not bricked, it works, i can access all the things it came with.I am sorry for asking stupid questions, but i want to understand. Wouldn't it be enough if i re lock the boot loader and install some custom RUU?

See my previous post, you don't need to put the original RUU anymore, my bad I thought you cant use your phone so that starting from beginning is a good start, anyway forget it.
Have a look @ my previous post it is much simpler, download all parts of the RUU and extract to get "0PAJIMG.zip" copy to MicroSD and boot to Bootloader and all good.
After installation you get rid of Chinese apps and You will have root too!

Sorry to butt in, but just had to set the record straight: what you have there is the true E8 Dual SIM from China Unicom. If you still have this phone and still need to root it, I strongly recommend Dr. Oweida's ROM which I also have on my E8 and works like a charm. Lucky for you, you are already S-OFF so you will also have the international Blinkfeed.
Cheers!

It's seems to be stuck in fastboot with S-ON

As far as I know, he had cyanogenmod and twrp installed and was trying to return his phone to stock (not sure why) and installed the wrong RUU.
How can I repair his phone?
I'm researching as best as I can, but everything I'm finding requires S-OFF and I doubt he has the BIN file....
Thanks in advance.

You shouldn't need S-OFF if you are using the correct RUU... so that could be the first thing you could try.
Another would be to unlock the phone through fastboot, then re-flash custom recovery... through custom recovery flash a nandroid of stock HTC Sense. Then through fastboot again flash stock recovery. Then wait for all the OTA updates to arrive.
Once you have installed all OTA updates you have two choices....relock the device, or use it stock while keeping the bootloader unlocked for future flashing goodness.

UPDATE - I got S-OFF back on the phone and booted into recovery. From there, I decided to simply reboot the system, but now I'm stuck at the Cyanogenmod splashscreen. So back to TWRP....
I don't really understand what RUU's are. The last HTC I had was Desire-Z....

Well...from what the image you pasted in the OP showed you had no system to reboot into. So that was definitely a wrong move.
Notice the OS - "empty space".....well that is not a good sign.
If you can access TWRP the download a nandroid of stock, and follow the advice I already gave above.
Flash stock nandroid 4.25/4.20, from TWRP, then from fastboot flash stock recovery.
Reboot and wait for OTA updates.
All is well, got the running properly now - thanks everyone!

Incorrect. OS being empty was caused by a bug in some earlier versions of TWRP. Nothing to be too concerned about at all.

Uhm....never knew it was an actual bug, i run across it once when i corrupted my system quite a few months.

Corrupting system won't affect the OS number on the bootloader screen. "OS" is a bit misleading, it actually indicates the firmware number, not the ROM version.
The bug is easily reproduced by flashing certain TWRP versions (not sure exactly which ones). Its very common. We see this pop up by folks almost on a daily basis (OS number blank) especially folks using older TWRP versions.

Additionally, its not clear whether your suggestion is what actually worked for him (and exactly what nandroid build, etc.). OP should post the solution that worked, 1) for benefit of "helpers" like you, to confirm your fix is what worked; and 2) for the benefit of others that may run into the same issue.

The phone would not boot since the bootloader was relocked. This is what happens when you relock by definition, as relocking expects RUU to be run.

RUU existing for the Desire Z (I had the same phone); and in fact for as long as HTC has been making Android devices.
RUU = ROM Update Utility
Its usually a Windows executable (although the zip format can be extracted to work with fastboot flash, or put right on an SD card) that will completely re-image the phone to stock firmware and software. You need to run the RUU that matches the phones carrier version (CID) and model (MID), and not all versions have RUU. Otherwise, the RUU will fail and not install anything.
RUU also requires a locked or relocked bootloader (although this requirement is bypassed with s-off).
RUU will also wipe any user data on the phone (including internal storage "media").
