HTC Dev is unreliable (not to mention more difficult as you have to flash the boot..img separately from the ROM in a separate zip in hboot)

I'm guessing that since your bootloader is unlocked, you should be able to flash 4ext or CWM recovery through fastboot (search), and then flash SuperSU.zip (from Chainfire's thread) through recovery. That'll put Superuser.apk and the su binary in the system partition and give you root access.

flash it used fastboot (adb tools)
1.Turn off your phone
2. Hold the volume down button + power until you boot to a white screen.
3. Use the volume rocker to select FASTBOOT then press the power button to select it.
4. Connect your phone.
5. Open up a windows command prompt and navigate to your sdk tools or platform tools folder. tools (c:\android-sdk-windows\tools) or platform-tools (c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools) (ore where you have the adb)
6. Type FASTBOOT DEVICES to make sure your computer "sees" your phone and is ready to flash the recovery. You should get a serial number and then the word fastboot as the output.
7. Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and press enter. Give it a minute to do it's thing. You should get a message that says writing recovery and success.
(you must have the recovery.img on the same place as fastboot)
8. Unplug your phone and use the volume rocker to select BOOTLOADER and then again to select RECOVERY and you should be booted into the recovery

Yes, but it's PD98IMG.zip, otherwise the phone won't recognize it . To flash recovery in fastboot in the suggested way you need ENG S-OFF, wich I don't actually recommend to flash, unless it's the modified ENG HBOOT in the Hack Kit. If you want to flash the PD98IMG.zip file in fastboot, follow this:
Boot in fastboot and plug the phone (you will see fastboot usb)
Open a CMD as Admin or Terminal as root in the PC (and navigate to where the file is located)
Now type in CMD:
fastboot oem rebootRUU (you will get a black screen with silver HTC)
fastboot flash zip <nameoffile.zip>
When it is done (you will see OKAY. finished at the bottom of the cmd session), type:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then check that is correctly installed.
If not just name the file PD98IMG.zip, put it in the root of the sdcard and reboot in hboot until you are prompted to update....:good:

running the Hack Kit with S-OFF is useless. It will probably jam you up. If you wan to root, then finde SU image and flash it or find the flashable zip file.
Here you are one: http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip or find newer version here:
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
Thanks but I'm a bit of a noob...just wondering, does flashing su turn s-off back to s-on. If no then how do I activate s-on so I can run aahk?

No, flashing SU will give you root access. If you are already S-OFF don't run the Hack Kit. The hack kit does exactly that...gives you S-OFF and Root....there's no need to do that again.
Just out of curiousity, since I didn't activate the s-off, what are the chances of this being done using HTC dev?
Also, should this be the case, is is gonna affect the root process in any way? I just wonna be sure that I don't miss anything before rooting, especially since the last time I did something like this successfully was 2 years ago on a G1:

Well, you will see Recovery work. It will flash the file and follow the instructions in the Binary Updater file. It usually replaces the old version and push the new one.
There's nothing to do but to flash the file. You don't need to wipe anything at all...It is quite simple actually. Just reboot when are told to do so...nothing can go wrong.

All completely incorrect.
1) UnrEVOked only s-offs CDMA with unrEVOked forever, NOT GSM

i dont know how to flash from recovery. i downloaded that zipfile, so what now? help me hereeeee
1. You need to save the file onto the root of your SD card (i.e not in a folder)
2. Boot your phone into recovery by holding vol down and pressing power and using the volume buttons to navigate to recovery and pressing power to select recovery
3. In recovery navigate to install zip from SD card using the volume buttons and press the trackball to select it.
4. Navigate down to the file name and press the trackball to flash it.
5. Once its finished flashing navigate to reboot system now
Once this is done you should see the superuser app in the app drawer. You have root.

Well s-off means you can flash a custom recovery but i think you have to do that through fastboot and unfortunately that's something I don't know. A guy on here called rootSU has a good guide in his signature.

If you didn't flash the recovery at the last stage of revolutionary, you can re run the process again. It'll know you have already s-offed and will offer the custom recovery again.

Thought I would post rom.zip from inside the RUU Release:
Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2_Radio_47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.39.03M_release_225747
It's downloadable as a PG76IMG.zip file for those who are able to/want to flash it from Hboot instead of RUU connected to computer method.
I flashed my upgrade this way and it fully upgraded Radio, Hboot, Microp, etc.
I was XTC Clip S-OFF of course. It did not S-ON the phone.
Directions:
1/ Download the file.
2/ Place it on the root of your SD Card.
3/ Power down and remove and replace battery.
4/ Hold Volume Down and Power On buttons at the same time.
5/ Follow the directions on screen.
6/ Replace file with your custom recovery and flash it if need be.
Enjoy.

This is simply the stock rom extracted from the RUU installer. Nothing more. Nothing less.
This File is signed by HTC.
So you dont need S-off to flash this Rom.
This is not for the A510e ?

Your phone is branded so use a goldcard or a ruu with the correct cid.

Here's his instructions:

Copy:

system.img
to your Android directory (where you have fastboot and adb)
boot into hboot, mark fastboot, hit power button and attach usb cable

When i press volume down + Power button and go to HBoot
it tells me that i am using Clockwork MOD Recovery v3.0.0.6
i want to update it to latest version i downloaded recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz and copy this Zip file on SD card and installed Clockwork MOD Recovery v5.0.2.0
i can see that it changes menu & font color into blue
but when ever i restarts or shut down the phone and go back to HBoot ( volume down + Power button ) i see the same old v3.0.0.6
any suggestions...
help
use this from your bootloader, you need to rename it pc49img.zip (make sure its not named .zip.zip) it should come up saying recovery update, flash? push volume up. after that let it boot to to the boot animations, the battery pull. take out the sdcard and then reboot the bootloader. then go to recovery and it should be up to 5.0.2.0

just the update.zip should do. are you definatly s-off?
yes i am s-off. still not working.
Some steps that I told to another person wanting to update their recovery.
Do you have fastboot?
do you have fastboot in with your SDK tools?
Download [RECOVERY][MOD][Wildfire][02-Nov-2011] Clockwork 5.0.2.7.111102
Extract the zip, and rename to recovery.img to make it simple in ADB.
move the recovery.img to the same folder as your fastboot is in so FOR ME it will be in C:\ ANDROID \ ANDROID-SDK \ TOOLS \ recovery.img
as fastboot is located in ANDROID-SDK / TOOLS / fastboot.exe
then follow these commands EXACTLY as I tell you.
reboot phone in to bootloader - Power off, then HOLD volume down and press power, use volume keys for up and down and select fastboot.
now, open command line and start ADB - This part I expect you to know if you have a rooted phone, but just in case run these commands: - start adb, remount, and open a shell - the commands are "adb remount", then enter "adb shell"
1) adb start-server
2) adb remount
3) adb shell
then enter the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
FINALLY, enter "fastboot reboot"
Recovery update complete... try rebooting into recovery to confirm this and it should show a new recovery
Click Thanks if this works

There are several different ways to go.
The quickest way (might not work and is just a temp fix) is to download, then unzip the zip file to EVO-RECOVERY folder on your computer. Boot the phone into RECOVERY (with the red triangle), then run the recovery-windows.bat file if you're running Windows on your computer and see does that do anything. Whether or not it works would tell me exactly how the phone was rooted.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/EVO-recovery.zip
The phone is s-on, you're going to need to run unrevoked to gain s-off so you can flash a recovery. You can't flash any unofficial zips in hboot with s-on. Search for unrevoked and your hboot version to find the correct version of unrevoked to unlock the bootloader(hboot).

Good point. I rooted and S-off via toast right after launch. I guess if someone only did his first step it would look like that. Good point. Speaking of toast, I just threw up quotes of his latest post all over general subforum in all the threads where people are trying to decide if they want nexus or Evo LTE.
They locked the one X down like no tomorrow. Team win and toast can't get recovery to access USB for mount while in recovery. Making me lean nexus.

Did you ever try the EVO-RECOVERY download. No one said anything about pressing volume up and the power button. When you see the red triangle, do not do anything except run the recovery-windows.bat file on your computer (after extracting the files to the EVO-RECOVERY folder) to see if a recovery menu appears. I forgot to mention that the phone must be connected to the computer.
If that does not work, then you might want to go to the unrevoked site and follow their root instructions.

Perfect, the quickest way.
Download the attached files and place them on the root of your SD card.
Flash the unrevoked-forever from the temporary recovery menu that I gave you. That will turn the phone S-OFF.
Then run the PC36IMG file through the bootloader (power off the phone, then volume down +power buttons) and accept the update. That will give you the latest Amon permanent recovery. I also added the superuser.zip file in case you need to flash it (especially on stock ROM if you need it for superuser permissions).
Thank you Everyone
I found the problem and fixed it. Thank you everyone for helping me out.

No problem. I just tried to give you a work around to Toast Method 2 (I see the phone was rooted with Toast Method 1 only) which would also S-OFF the phone, but is more complicated.
You could have also used unrevoked, but you probably would needed to unroot first, then install the Hboot drivers, then run unrevoked (not to mention downloading all of those things) which would have taken some time.
This thread is full of win. Awesome job shortydogg. Unbelievable you still had those old files. Just nice to see how it worked out

I have a lot of junk on my computer, I mean old files.
I rooted my phone via the tacoroot method then i ran revolutionary and achieved s off. Now I am confused because the phone does not have super user on it and root checker says i am not properly rooted. when i boot into recovery I see
Revolutionary
Vivow_xb ship s-off rl
hboot 6.13.1002
Radio-1.09.01.1111
My question is why dont i have super user since I am soff. I thought super user downloaded with revolutionary. anyway I am hoping for a little guidance.

Flash a recovery through fast boot and then flash a su.zip or just simply download from the market

When I try to go into fastboot it just starts trying to download some update. It says
Sd checking
Loading (pg32diag.zip)
No image!
Loading (pg32diag)
It does not really let me do anything it just asks if I want to continue with the update or not I cant do anything else.
Have you flashed a recovery? It sounds like you aren't in a recovery but are in the bootloader.

I have not flashed a recovery. Could you walk me through it so I don't screw it up?

I got all the way through the codes and ran revolutionary and when it says do you want to install cwm i said yes it worked for a bit and then the phone booted up and everything, but i dont have super user or cwm on the phone.
Have you installed a custom ROM? Have you booted into CWM recovery? Do you still have the P32IMG.zip on your SD card?

No custom rom, cant boot into cwm recovery, and i believe the zip is still on my sd card
this may be a stupid question but did I need to do anything with the vhwk files like I did on my first dinc2? I never used those files this time because I was thinking the process was different with the taco root method.
If you've gone through Tacoroot and Revolutionary (which it appears you have) and have installed CWM, you still need to install SU. You can't select Recovery from HBoot? You may need to move the P32IMG.zip files from the root of your SD card and reboot. It should allow you into Recovery to flash SU.

When I select recovery from hboot it takes me to a screen with a pic of a phone and a red triangle with a exclamation mark.

That means you don't have a recovery flashed.

Downloading recovery of your choice locate it on your pc and go on flash boot, then open up command prompt on your pc locate cmd to where recovery is at and push recovery with what I believe is the command like
Fastboot flash recovery.img
