Try revolutionary ! It will S-Off your phone and install the revolutionary recovery. From then on you can flash other hboots or recovery's
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
revolutionary is not working with hboot 1.03 (1.02 and lower)
I think the only way is downgrade(if possible, don't know the way) and get root/s-off on lower hboot

Is it possible to downgrade without being s-off ? I am having doubts about that ? I am also still learning ;-)

There is your problem. HTC official method doesn't give you the same freedom unofficial methods do. As far as I know there is no turn back yet, so bad luck for you, inform yourself better next time. htcdev gives you root but leaves hboot locked.
from HTC site:
htc said:
Why is my security still on (S-On) after I have unlocked my bootloader?
Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. You can easily see that you have successfully unlocked the bootloader by looking at the top of the screen when entering the bootloader screen. Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.

You can't change your bootloader because you are S-ON and you can't get S-OFF because methods to get S-OFF are based on original bootloaders, by installing HTC's new bootloader you have locked you out of getting S-OFF. HTC does only give you access to boot, recovery and system, is not full S-OFF and that includes a locked bootloader.
yeah you basically screwed yourself by using the official method. Ironic isnt it?
via xda app
Not sure why all the peripheral discussion around here makes it sound as if he's bricked his phone.
OP, I understand you've "successfully" unlocked the bootloader and want to flash cwmr. In that case, the solution is to download a .img image of cwmr, and flash it using the fastboot program:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or use any of the GUI tools for fastboot.
For all practical purposes, unlocked bootloader ought to be enough for you.
ok problem sovled
This method i have folow with some changes.
1) Unlock phone via HTC official process (registration required)
You are now unlocked S-ON but have no root access on the existing rom, however by doing it the official way you dont need to flash the radio anyway. I used the following steps to get CM7 installed on mine.
2) Downloaded ClockworkMod Recovery 5 (GSM not CDMA)
download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-bravo.img
(i have download instead dl.dropbox.com/u/4518713/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7.111102-j_r0dd_mod-bravo.zip this from this topic)
(sorry - forum wont let me post urls yet)
3) reboot phone into fastboot
and plug in the usb
4) In the environment you set up for the HTC unlock process enter
(this means put the *.img file you downloaded in this file: C:/Android (with adb, fastboot)
open cmd, type:
"cd c:\Android"
"fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-bravo.img" OR "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7.111102-j_r0dd_mod-bravo.img"
5)unplug the usb cable from your phone.
select bootloader press power to select
wait 20 sec
select recovery press power to select
if the flash was successful you will se the ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0 OR 5.0.2.7
6) To navigate into ClockWorkMod Recovery
Use trackpad, not power to select
Yes, that's the age old method of flashing via hboot. Nothing new about it.
Android flasher can also be used to flash recovery right? And isn't it much easier?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
yes, for newbies. For us, we could probably finish flashing by the time you load it.

Yeah Android Flasher is a useful tool as I use it myself but I still believe that the manual way of doing it using command is the best way to go specially if you are having issues.
I just unlocked my cousins evo 4g. I was wondering if I need s-off to flash Roms. If so. Can someone give me a link to a tutorial .
Well, you need Clockworkmod but you can't install clockworkmod without S-off, my Evo actually has S-on with clockworkmod and I can install roms no problem I don't even know how S turned back on but it did lol... It's really easy to google and find a guide on rooting/turning s-off but regardless here ya go, it's a list of a ton of guides for the Evo and rooting involves turning s-off.

If you are like me, and would rather visually see it happen, go check out the beloved YouTube. There are lots of videos of people showing you exactly how to do it, step by step.
Hit thanks if I turned you in the right direction!
Good Luck!
Unrevoked rev works well to root it if you didn't take the latest OTA Clockwork mod 4.0 works well for it afterwards to flash and wipe.
If you are s-on (OOW unlocked) on hboot 2.18 u can used fastboot to flash a recovery, you should be using Amon RA on the evo and not cwm or twrp. If you are on hboot 2.15/.16 you need to use revolutionary.io to achieve s-off and gain recovery and the flash SU and SU binaries. Any hboot prior to 2.16 you use unrevoked or one of its variants to get s-off. If you're hboot 2.18 s-on locked you use htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader from there you can use fastboot to flash recovery or you can follow captain throwbacks guide to downgrade your hboot to an earlier version and achieve s-off. With s-on unlocked you can do (almost) anything you can do with s-off except you won't be able to flash PC36IMG.zip files, which include recoveries, radio updates, splashscreens, and RUU files.

Hey -EViL-KoNCEPTz-
You got me kinda confused now. I thought the new CWM got the problems fixed with clearing the cache? If not, then is the Amon RA safe to use, it hasn't been updated in for ever. If you still recommend Amon RA, how do I change to that?
Also, I still have s-on.
Mine says:
*** UNLOCKED***
Supersonic EVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-2.18.0001
How do I get it to S-OFF or do I need to?
I've been flashing back and forth to different Roms for a few days now. I'm still trying to find the one I like where everything works.
I'm in the same boat as custm2007 except it's on my friends phone. What would be the best way to get s-off after rooting it or do I even need to? I'll be doing everything for him so he won't be flashing much at all.

http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...-18-HBOOT-with-HTCDev-com-No-More-Watermark!-
To actually answer the question... No you do not need to be s-off to flash rom's. Once unlocked you can flash a recovery through fastboot and flash rom's to your hearts content. This is currently how my phone is, and I have no complaints. Please see my blog for a tutorial for flashing recovery and su binaries.

This was how i did it way back when. It was the easiest method for me.
I'm trying to root my girlfriend's T-mobile HTC Wildfire S properly like I did with my HTC Sensation. Switching views from Sensation forums, Wildfire S is very hectic and chaotic. There are not any clear and organized post that list the steps.
Questions:
1.) Is it possible to root, s-off, and unlocked bootloader for T-mobile US HTC Wildfire S?
2.) I read many post where you can s-off the phone but bootloader remained locked and vice versa. Why can you s-off with one method and then unlock bootloader with another?
3.) Just to make sure. If the phone is unlocked with bootloader but S-on, can we start flashing custom ROMs? What about if the phone is S-off and bootloader is locked, can we flash custom ROMs then?
Thank you in advance, any help will be very considerate!
YES in both cases
S-on + bootloader unlocked, you can flash custom roms.
S-off + bootloader locked, you can flash custom roms.
In both cases you need custom recovery, clockwork mod etc.

Great! Can you actually guide me =D
Do you prefer me to Unlock bootloader before s-off or vice versa? Can you tell me what you did? It'll help soooo much. In addition, do 4ext Recovery work?
Once s-off, download clockwork recovery from alquez thread in development section.
Place the file PG76IMG.zip in the root of your SD.
Power off your phone, pull battery, replace battery, hold volume down + power to enter hboot,
Wait for file to be found and it will ask if you wanna update, click yes (volume up I think) then reboot your phone.
Note: you will need to delete the custom recovery file or move it from the root of your SD.
Now download root.zip just search within the wildfire s forums and you'll find it.
Note 2: once rooted you could install rom manager and install official clockwork recovery.

Where would unlocking bootloader fit in to this? What method did you use to s-off?
If your s-off no need to unlock the boot loader as the security is turned off.
If you haven't achieved s-off then unlocking the boot loader will allow you to flash roms and/or custom recovery, but you will not be able to upgrade radio or hboot.
I gained s-off with an xtc clip.

You can unlock your bootloader by following the appropriate steps at htcdev.com/bootloader
I guess, to turn S-OFF on, you'll need XTC-Clip. Go for the bootloader method - easier.

Alright, to make this clear. You can't have both is the bottom-line. BUT, it is possible with an XTC-Clip.
Questions:
1.) So if I choose to s-off, what benefits do I loose from NOT unlocking bootloader? Vice versa.
2.) Do you prefer to have the phone with an unlocked bootloader or s-off? Since I can't have both.
OK there is currently no software to give full s-off. Full s-off allows to flash to the full nand including radio images and different hboots.
Htcdev unlocked boot loader is software done, and has fastboot commands enabled. But can not write to all of the nand, meaning it won't flash radios and downgraded hboots.
You can have both, but you need to get a xtc clip. S-off, then upgrade to the htcdev hboot. Then use simonsimons bootloader unlock tool from the Dev section to enable fastboot commands without HTC knowing, thus keeping warrenty. But, if you only intend to do custom roms a htcdev unlocked boot loader will suffice.

Thanks! I just want to root my girlfriend's phone because I am tired of her nagging saying her phone is slow and yada yada...If you don't mind, can you read my plan of action and tell me if it is correct or not?
STEPS TO UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER and ROOTING for T-mobile HTC Wildfire S:
1.) Follow this to unlock bootloader [TUTORIAL][S-ON] Unlock Bootloader using HTCDEV.com
*** I also found this youtube video which seems to have all the steps (HD) How to Root the HTC Wildfire S (GSM) - Cursed4Eva***
2.) I want to follow this link but it says if I have to be s-off [TUTORIAL][ROOT] How to root your HTC Wildfire S?
In addition, I see a lot of custom ROMs saying you must be s-off in order to flash. What if I am s-on with unlocked bootloader?
Well, I personally have never done this. But the logic is sound firstly upgrade to the htcdev hboot but stop before it comes to unlocking it. Then go to the dev section and look for simonsimons bootloader unlock tool. Use that to unlock the bootloader and keep warrenty then again to the dev section and flash the alquez (hope that's spelled right ) recovery! Then finally get the fashable superuser zip file for gb and flash it from recovery. You now have root
As far as custom roms are concerned most will go on an unlocked bootloader, as that is what most people have here. But is a rom states that it really needs s-off or a different radio you may have some issues
Good luck buddy. If you need links let me know

You need either a unlocked bootloader or S-Off to root a device.
If you are rooted properly then you can certainly flash Custom ROMs.
Before that go to ClockworkMod Recovery and take a complete Nandroid Backup of your current Stock ROM so that you can flash back Stock when you need.

can i install custom rom without unlocking the bootloader or i have to unlock the bootloader?
You need a rooted device to flash Custom ROM. To get rooted you need to unlock the bootloader or make S-Off.
You said that you are rooted the device with S-off. That' enough you can flash any ROM.
Still if you are not sure you rooted or not just refer this guide:

i cannot unlock bootloader because kernal version 2.6.35.10 ruu is not available on htcdev
Press <power> + Vol Down type what is displayed on your HBOOT.
If your Hboot version is 1.08.xxxx or later version you may skip the RUU Process and try to unlock the bootloader.
Follow the guide, it will help you to root.
I have Hboot Version 1.03.0000

You need to Update the bootloader thru HTCdev.com
Follow the steps carefully and patiently and update the bootloader. For RUU you have to choose according to your country/region and carrier, which matches with. But be sure to chose the right one.
You need to have installed HTC Sync, Android SDK and Java Runtime on your PC, those links are available with Guide itself.
After updating the bootloader, you need to root the device. Then install ClockworkMod Recovery, which will help you to take the Nandroid Backup of your STOCK ROM.
Thereafter if you need, can install LINK2SD which will help you to install all your apps on your SD Card. So that phone's internal memory will be increased and you can see a considrable fast with the device.

as i told u my kenral verion ruu is not listed on htc dev i have already installed clockworkmod reccovery and lind2sd
i just want to install custom rom
all guides of installing custom roms says that u have to unlock bootloader to install custom rom
If you are S-OFF, then you can just install a ROM. There is no need to unlock the bootloader.
is there a way to unlock bootloader without htcdev
is there r chances to hard brick my phone while flashing custom rom?

Hi,
Since your bootloader says S-OFF, you can try any custom ROM.
Just refer the below link, If you like it just download the ROM and Flash it. See all the features listed there. It's not available with the STOCK ROM!....

PLEASE answer me i'm afraid of bricking my phone and i do really need to root it now. will there be a problem if S-off while it's already s-off?
This also happened to me when I re-installed the stock ROM on my Wildfire. I did the whole process from the beginning again and it worked like a treat.

What method are you using to flash the recovery? Fast boot is not enabled on that bootloader version. You must use the pc49img method.
Flash the Revolutionary HBOOT
Fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
Or you can use the dd if of method.
