advanced applogies for a newb question if it is, im more of Windows Mobile/ Windows Phone/iOS person, - Chevron/Jailbreaking them seems far easyr.
Is there a way to Root this thig with HBOOT-1.03.0003 and Software: 2.29.405.14 ???
This is a question. Y u no post in questions forum?

Reported.
i cant find anything in Q&A about HBOOT-1.03.0003
i have tried UnrEVOked 3.32.
i know someone will flame me for asking this, i expected it... if u havent noticed i been with this forum since 2007, and i do know how to use Q&A and i would not be asking a question if it was a simple matter...
unless u can point me to the right tool or guide for HBOOT-1.03.0003 with S-ON, u can save flaming to yourself
Sorry to bring you a bit of bad news... the official HTC S-OFF is a real *****! There's no patch for HBOOT-1.03.0003 out there yet and I don't know if there will ever be one. You can try writing to the guys doing Revolutionary (i.e. Alpharev and Unrevoked) and see if they plan on patching this new HBOOT version.
to get a s-off... goldcard and downgrade

Yeah, if he has one. IIRC goldcard was only an instrument in rooting branded phones? The error code would mention incorrect CID or something like that.

Goldcard didnt work, it says somthing like no image or wrong image after a bar on right hand side goes up....
also quick question is Reversing CID from CMD is just like 12a456 to 654a21 or is it something else, coz http://hexrev.soaa.me/ gives me some other result.
aka my CID from cmd is
1e41425553442xxxx0058003fd00a5f6 so reverse shuld be
6f5a00df3008500xxxx24435552414e1
and then replace first too with 00
but that site gives me 00a500fd038005xxxx2044535542411e
im a litttle confused :s
and just to be clear i now have UNlocked Bootloader (officeal by HTC) what tools are compatible with that for me to be able to flash ?
Use yours just be careful, triple check everything you doing
Btw... All tools are up to hboot 1.02, unlocked bootloader is not s-off

Followed HTCDev's procedure for unlocking the bootloader.
After running the RUU, boot showed:

So we see "UNLOCKED" but also "S-ON."
What I have not been able to determine in these threads is whether "unlocked" = rooted.
Also, in spite of successfully unlocking bootloader, do I still need to achieve S-OFF to flash a custom ROM?
Best!

Yes you can flash a custom rom, your bootloader is unlocked...
You can't put any other sim card, than whats your service provicer now...
Find index thread, there you have all tutorials on how to flash stuff on your phone, good luck and wellcome
No, it isn't rooted
You're not rooted and you could s-off if you want because it gives you more benefits plus its very simple and didn't take more than 5 minutes

Please tell - how did you S-OFF your Wildfire? Buy the Clip?

You don't need S-OFF, unlocked bootloader is enough to flash custom ROM.
I also have S-ON.
Here is everything in one place
Have fun!!!

virgin mobile ? do you have sim card inside your phone ? if not, that means you are cdma, and that means you can s-off without XTC CLIP, otherwise, if you are gsm , then you have to wait or simply s off it by using xtc clip ...

No SIM. As stated at the start, the handset is CDMA. I have not read in the forums how one can achieve S-OFF without getting the Clip. Please explain how it is done. Thanks.
i guess i dont have to write anything since everything is in following threads, i wish you luck in unlocking your device :

unlocked means the bootloader is unlocked. it doesn't mean you ARE rooted, but it does mean you CAN root.
quick and easy way - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432074
Following links above, I finally achieved S-OFF and then rooted the handset. Since then, installed BusyBox and Titanium Pro. By deleting some bloatware and by freezing widgets and apps I'm unsure of, and moving all possible apps to SD-card memory, I've been able to free up 58 - 60 mb of internal memory.
It's now quite a useful handset!
if the smartphone is s-off now you have to install the root file... I mean root.zip going in recovery menu by pressing vol - and power... the root.zip file is there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195275
another possibility is to installa a coocked ROM such as CyanogenMod
Thanks for all the useful info. The handset now is S-off and rooted.
My handset is Wildfire S CDMA, A510c, VirginMobil USA. As I look for ROMs I might wish to attempt to flash, I see many - most - are for "Marvel." My handset is "Marvelc."
From reading the threads, I get the idea "Marvel" and "Marvelc" are not compatible. Is this correct?
Again, thanks!

My girlfriend hope to remove some build in unnecessary app.
so i try to root her wildfire s.
But problems appear.
I am able to unlock the phone: from unlock to lock.
but then my hboot version change from. 1.08 to 1.08.0999
and keeping s-on
then I can no longer s-off it anymore.... Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First of all welcome to xda!
And second of all.....if you don't have a CDMA version of the Wildfire S....You CANNOT S-OFF it with a software for now.....there is a hardware called XTC-Clip which can S-OFF the phone but its too costly(check here)
And BTW unlocking the bootloader is enough for rooting the phone
If you looked around a bit you could have found about 20 similar threads......if you are new it doesnt mean everyone is new......people will just freak out looking at this thread
So please search before posting
About s-off
Sorry about that, I do search for long time about root. But since my hboot version is 1.08999 I cannot flash any recovery into my phone as they are all for version 0.9. Other say My version : unlocked hboot 1.08999 s-on is already mean s-off but I cannot flash any recovery to the phone....=[
i have an HTC evo 3D
i cant get it to read my t-mobile sim card.

but my phone still wont read my t-mobile sim card.
the phone is gsm cause there is a sim slot in the back.
