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.

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

Hi all,
I followed the instructions for permaroot-ing my G2, and everything went smoothly (thanks to everyone who contributed). After obtaining permaroot, I was prompted to install the OTA update. After applying the update I lost root permissions (tried the "su" command on terminal emulator and ADB). I figured I would just follow the steps again for permaroot, but when I run VISIONary for temp root it says "You device is already rooted". Also, I've checked the bootloader, and I still have S-OFF. I'm wondering if anyone has encountered this issue, and if there is a way to regain permaroot. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Yes well if your going to root NEVER apply an OTA. Now that you applied it and you still have s off just flash a custom rom. They all have root. If you want to stay stock and just gain root back use the rage method.

Thanks
Shortlived,
Thanks for your response. I actually couldn't just flash a custom ROM because I didn't flash ClockworkMod recovery before applying the OTA update. Because I lost root, I couldn't actually flash the recovery after applying OTA. The rage method worked perfectly though and I'm back to root!
You should go ahead and flash a custom recovery (clockworkmod) and make a nandroid back up now since you have root again.
Mistakes happen, but, there's always nandroid.
Hi All,
I just discovered a RUU 1.84.708.1. It is the localized version in my place.
I've already rooted and running ENG S-Off. After extracted the ROM image from RUU, I wonder how can I root (install superuser/busybox) and deodex the rom image before I flash it through CWM recovery?
Thanks in advance!
Anyone plz?

Manual Deodexing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765270
Should be a way to apply these deodexing steps to the ROM pre-flash. I personally don't know how, but this would be the thread to ask about that in.
You could also ask how to root via cmd or terminal there.
Hope this helps in some way.
Hi All,
I tried to install the system.img inside the ruu and it was successful.
After that I attempted to used the rage/gfree method to gain a shell root. However, after the rooting process, whenever I start an app that asks superuser for root access, superuser force closes.
I've already gained eng s-off, but still not able to gain a shell root. Can anyone help on that?

Have you tested whether or not you have shell root through a terminal emulator? Your version of Superuser might just be out of date.
I have searched and searched multiple forums. Attempted different methods of rooting. I believe I may have done something wrong in the terminal emulator my first time but my problem is this; I cannot temp root with visionary, just get a black screen after I it says attempting. When I try to unroot, visionary says the device does not appear to be rooted. So cwr can't flash recovery cause it lacks permission. I have the superuser in the app drawer and security is off but when attempting to gain those permissions either through adb or terminal, I get denied. I'm on a stock rom, did factory reset but superuser app still exists. Can anyone at least point me in the right direction? I can't root/unroot, flash roms, etc. Maybe there is an extremely manual way of solving this? Btw first post. Noob video = hilarious.
Visionary has a very high brick rate. You really should have done a lot more research before you decided on how you wanted to root your device.
WARNING - Do not use Visionary to permanent root your G2/DZ - high brick risk!
There are some guides littered through out XDA about how to bring back a phone that's been semi-bricked by visionary. Look around and see if some them will help you out.
Thanks, I am sure I'll find one to help me out but i only used Visionary to temp root, then terminal to try and permroot.
It's a lot easier to root with adb, that way if anything goes wrong you can copy your exact cmd for faster help.
Chances are you need adb set up to downgrade anyway, for visionary to work. in which case you should just use the recommended method
-Nipqer
As long as you don't have gingerbread. Try the no abd required method. Twice.

I have tried every method out there. Couldn't downgrade because security was off. I am not rooted so methods to return s-on did not succeed. Will not let me fastboot flash a recovery (Failed: not allowed). So with all the different guides i've followed to a t, my g2 no longer boots past the htc logo, but I can get into boot loader. Am I bricked? if not I know i'm well on my way. All I really wanted to do was flash a recovery, which I should have done first to back up blah blah. That visionary method is what initially put me in the dirt, followed guide from another site before I found xda, I never used perm root through visionary just temp root, and tried to keep the root through terminal emulator. Where can I go from here? I do have access to another stock g2 that my buddy owns if that would help any
Code:
VISION PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.84.2000
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.08.04.30_M3
eMMC-boot
As long as you're on 2.2, using Visionary for temp root (only) should be safe. +1 to ianmcquin's gfree method.
Edit: Didn't see your last post as our posts were simultaneous. So you can't flash a PC10IMG file thru hboot?

Could you elaborate a little further? Security is off so flashing an official is bad or so I have read. Also, flashing through hboot? How would I accomplish this?
So I might be totally wrong here, but if you could put any pre-rooted ROM inside a PC10IMG zip file onto your SD card (you'll have to use a micro adapter or another phone to get it there)... then you should be able to boot into bootloader and flash it. Though I've never been in a situation with no root and S-OFF... can anyone confirm or reject this idea?

Is it safe to use the RUU to restore the phone with s-off?
Edit: No, no it is not XD
Okay. So I have the rom in a PC10IMG zip file on the root of my sd card. Now, specifically, what must I do to boot into said rom. If I can be helped I will do all the research in the world to avoid a noob situation like this again. Which so far seems very improbable thanks to this wonderful site and all the information I have absorbed trying to find a solution to my problem
Well, as I said, this makes logical sense to me, but I was hoping someone more knowledgeable than myself would confirm.... but if you want to try it you'll power down, then boot into bootloader by pressing the power button and volume down at the same time. Once in the bootloader, you should be prompted to flash the pc10img file. I think you'll press volume up to confirm and then the rest is automatic. But again, I don't know that this will work for sure... and I haven't been in your exact situation. If you want more details on flashing pc10img.zip files, I know it's out there on XDA. Also, in the event it works for you be sure to remove this file from your sd card right away... or rename it.

flash cmw in fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img or whatever
Solved; I was finally able to flash cwm after I had altered the hardware id's of the android 1.0 driver, flashed a pre rooted odex stock rom and wam bam thank you ma'am, phone is now operational. Thanks for your help guys =]

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?
I have just bought 2 HTC Desire phones 2nd hand for my wife and myself. One was already rooted, with su access and Nikez-Lente-1.0.1b2-bravo rom running very stably.The other was unlocked but branded and with a stock sense rom (not sure if if was gingerbread or ics).
So I immediately set about "rooting" the stock phone. I used Revolutionary, got s-off and installed sandvold Beta_0.18.2.1. I then installed Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed and expected to get root/su access on the phone. It was only when I tried using a2sd tool that I found I didn't have root/su access. Since then I've put the phone back to RUU and tried using unrevoked to root, but it fails everytime with a message "do you have a newer firmware?" or something like that.
I've put 4EXTRecoveryUpdater touch recovery on, installed Nikez-Lente-1.0.1b2-bravo again, installed su again, still no access. I've tried Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed, still no joy. Nothing seems to be able to put this phone into su/root mode.
And the strange thing is, both phones are on hboot 6.93.1002. So why can I not root the other phone?
I've searched the net for 2 days now and can find nothing to help. All the guides for unrevoked make it look like the simplest thing in the world to do.
What do I need to do?
Check my sig, desire all things root, s-off using revolutionary. Theres a superuser zip file there, try flash that in recovery. Where did u get that superuser zip file?

download & flash this in recovery and u should be rooted

This is the SU file from the guide in my sig

Thanks for that
Tried that one, still getting "permission denied" in terminal.
Just a thought - should I downgrade the bootloader to an unrevoked compliant one?
