With HBOOT 2.18, you can not root with any of those methods. You must unlock with the HTCDEV method.

You can also revert back, after doing the HTCDEV method, by using Captain_Throwback's method, found here.

when i get to a cmd promt it just keeps telling me access denied
You don't need to follow my process to root your device. Just do the HTC unlock, and then you can flash a custom recovery to get root. If you have a specific issue with my process, please post your specific issue and all the steps you've taken, in that thread. I can't be everywhere at once, after all.

Are you opening the cmd prompt at the appropriate SDK folder?

Use the .47 root method.
I tried the .47 method but the PC36IMG file is not updated??? That is what the bootloader tells me... An error along those lines

I don't know much about rooting, flashing ROMs or anything. But just have a few questions..
As the HTC WFS with S-ON can only be 'temporarily rooted' using ADB and downgrading HBOOT to bypass the RUU errors; I wanted to know what this actually means?
Is it the same as full permanent root or not?
What can I do with full root that I can't do with ADB root?
If I do temp root, what happens if I reboot my phone? Does the root permissions disappear and the system apps I've deleted return or what?

Never heard of a temp root for the Wildfire S, can you post the full guide on how to do it?
Can't help you with the difference between root and temp-root.

Hi all, i need to flash some custom roms, but I dont know how because I dont have super user permission, so my firmware is gingerbread, how can i flash rom?
(without the superuser?)
How can I get superuser permission on gingerbread without adb?
In the site htcdev can i unlock bootloader and how can i get superuser?
Do not use htcdev, it is a really bad way of unlocking, doesn't even unlock properly.
First you need to downgrade, follow this guide
Then you need to root/S-OFF, follow this guide

Thanks, but it isnt easy...Can I downgrade without adb?
I'm not good with command shell
You need to use adb, its not actually that hard, just read the instructions and make sure you type in the commands with no errors.
If you want some help/hand holding, pop into #g2root on freenode irc

You need to follow all of the downgrade guide, except the "Temp-Rooting to Backup (*Optional*)" bit (unless you want to back up apps/data)

Hello!! I have problems to root HTC Wildfire S with Android 2.3.5 S-ON.
I've sucessfully unlocked bootloader of my HTC using the tutorial of HTCDev. The problem, is when I try rooting the phone using OneClick, unlock root and others programs. I have a problem when I try execute the exploit zergRush on my phone. I copy them into /local/data/tmp folder, and I change the permissions with chmod 777. All this steps, work fine, but when I execute the exploit zergRush with ADB, fail in the progress.
The progress fail when zergRush try to mount the system folder as read and write access. In this time, I suppose that system must be root, but no it's.
I think that the zergRush 2.3.3 exploit not work correctly in 2.3.5 Android versions, but shearching in this forum I found that this version work fine.
Can you help me please?
I'm a spanish people. I apologize if you don't understand me very well.
Sorry.
Thanks for your time.
I had the same problem rooting with that method. I found one that works way better. Also got s-off easily as well. I'm not at my computer but send me a private message and I'll send you links with instructions on how I did it. It was very easy. Zergrush would say it was working but would not complete correct.

first recovery，and then root,very easy.
I tried and don't work
I've already tried to restore my phone and do rooting process again, and don't work.
Get root via Recovery. It's work!

Here's the guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506258
This is the most reliable way to get root, rather than using Unrevoked, unlock the bootloader using HTCdev, then flash Superuser and a recovery with fastboot.
