[Q] How do I perm root and get s-off?

First off, I am a noob, but I have worked for hours trying to get my phone to S-OFF and i'm getting tired of all the methods I've seen and my phone not allowing them. So please, no hate for saying you're a noob don't bother rooting, because I'm still determined.
I have followed the HTCdev's guide to unlocking your bootloader. It then successfully got unlocked, and SuperUser even installed onto my phone, I can load up superuser just fine and I've also got ROM Manager. I tried downloading the CyanogenMod File, and it worked. Then I tried flashing the ClockwordModRecovery, it said it was succesfully, however, when I went in to boot my ROM it came up with a red triangle, and said the custom recovery wasn't working.
I then checked my phone to see if it was S-OFF but it wasn't.
Currently my phone details are:
Android Version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense Version: 2.1
and when I go into recovery these are the details displayed:
**** UNLOCKED ****

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS.
I would like a suitable method to root my phone which isn't too complicated.
I'm willing to reset to factory settings if needs be.
Thank you very much.

This is the best, most reliable, and most supported way to get s-off on the G2/DZ.

Unlocked bootloader (which HTC Unlock gives you) and S-Off are not the same thing.
If you want S-Off, you still need to downgrade, then root and run gfree the "old" Wiki method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453066
You can still flash the recovery and flash custom ROMs without S-Off, but you have to do it through fastboot, which is also explained in the link I just gave. If you did not use fastboot to flash clockwork, then I would assume this is why you are getting the red exclamation (stock recovery).

[Q] Stuck in Relocked Bootloader

I bought this phone.
HTC One X
I have a bit of knowledge when it comes to rooting phones but i ran into this problem here.
It seems that the phone has no ROM, no Recovery ( I try Booting into Recovery and it Reboots back into Bootloader) and is Relocked (Fastboot ac).

How do i unlock bootloader and be able to go back to fastboot usb?

So it boots to the BootLoader Screen, this is a good thing, so its not 'dead' ... yet
Unless your gonna send it in for repair, First thing I would try is unlocking it ... your in for a ride
go to http://www.htcdev.com/ create an account, and follow the steps for unlocking the device
The fact that you can get into the boot loader means you should be able to generate your bin code, to unlock the thing
If you do manage to get it unlocked, I would follow the instructions in this forum for flashing a custom rom onto the thing
you start by unlocking, rooting, then CWM Recovery
Once you have that done, flash a custom rom, such as IceColdJelly which is what I use
Hopefully this works for you, Its already busted, no harm in trying
Good luck to you!
EDIT: You may find this useful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904

I alredy did this and it says " waiting for device"

Don't flash anything from this forum. This forum is only for the international One X (endeavor). You have an Evita.

[Q] Stuck on recovery access mode

Hi I have an HTC Inspire HD, ATT as provider.
I successfully unlocked it thru HTCDEV and installed 4EXT; did a backup successfully and then tried to install Android Revolution HD.
Since then I get stuck on the HTC white screen.
It does not boot. In recovery access, see the following:

Hi, when you say ROM, what do you mean; when I backedup with 4ext it confirmed a successful backup but I have no idea where it is located; can you guide me through? where do I find the boot.img

No, from the Android Revolution HD ROM (or whichever ROM you flash).

Is your phone in fastboot, not hboot? Also, OP doesn't look like you bootloader is unlocked.

I have been trying so many things and getting very much confused with Hboot, Fastboot.
Honestly been on both screen and do not see much difference.
If you do not mind suggesting steps and I will try them out and will share what I experience.

Then you're not in fastboot. You get to fastboot by going to hboot (reboot while holding power and volume-down), navigating to "fastboot" with the power buttons, and selecting it with the power button. Also, again, the OP seems to imply that your bootloader isn't unlocked. If it is, hboot would say so at the top.

FASTBOOT USB
the phone is stuck on the green htc logo with a white background
my computer no longer shows a folder for the phone when i plug in usb (im certain that i made a mistake by trying a factory reset using the hboot screen after this occured) which would undoubtedly remove usb debugging. and set to default charge only setting
i can use vol dwn + pwr to go into bootloader screen (obviously)
I tried using 2 different RUU's (both labeled HTC Android Phone ROM Utility 1.0.3.2011) because that seemed to help others
It progresses to install ruu. Phone shows black background and htc logo in grey but goes no further, just hangs like that forever, when i unplug usb at that point the grey logo disappears and it shows that ruu failed! in orange colors
the rom update utility shows error 155:unknown error
then : The ROM Utility cannot update your android phone
Please get the correct ROM update utility and try again
the htcdev site only shows one utility for htc desire hd (RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread))
i also tried using (RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed)
typing adb devices in cmd prompt shows no devices listed using sdk
the ruu had previously listed image version 2.47.502.7
it updated to image version 2.52.0.0 before i used htcdev to unlock it
now it tries to upgrade from 2.52 to 3.12.405.1 but won't
i followed the steps in this thread
"[how to]unlock inspire build 3.20.502.52 with htcdev in preparation to use AAHK" (you have to google it cus forum wont allow me to post url)
i didnt notice the red warning about this post being outdated OR that its a method for a different build It was 3am! and i was tired
it seemed to work fine just after the unlock in step 2
but i started having issues after i finished step 3
also if flashing an image file onto the SD card is the only route then how is that possible if my pc doesnt have access to the files
it only makes a sound when i plug it in
yes im a noob
please help
i believe that this is fixable since i read a comment that any htcdev unlocked phone is fixable...fingers crossed
is this a soft brick?
how do fix this so i can root this phone
and what method is (safest) best for rooting?

Your bootloader is already unlocked. Flash a custom recovery through fastboot and flash a ROM from there.

[Q] Trying to Restore TELUS Stock ROM

Hi XDA-devs,
I have a HTC Desire HD from Telus. I've hit a dead end after hours of searching, trying to no avail. I have seen similar attempts by others on the forums who have had a degree of success, but they also come from other paths.
I WAS running Clockwork Mod, with Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 and was attempting to bring my phone back to original Telus stock.
I was following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731324
I had downloaded the RUU EXE from that thread and ran it in administrator and like many people before me, the RUU could not detect my phone, I had tried installing HTC Sync, still no effect.
So like someone had suggested on that thread, that I extracted the ROM from the RUU, by using this method:
https://sites.google.com/site/androidbyyorzua/home/tutorials/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-ruu
I went to recovery, and tried to install that ZIP. it said. E:Can't open /sdcard/rom.zip (bad)
Assuming I had chosen the wrong option. So then I went to look how to FLASH the ROM. Searching I found the ULTIMATE ACE GUIDE on here: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30020025&postcount=7)
Followed it's steps starting on Page 5. So far I only completed steps 1-7 which include Formatting Data/Wiping Cache and Formatting System. haven't actually installed anything new yet.
Upon rebooting, I got stuck on the White HTC Boot Screen, Pressing Vol-down + Power does not do anything, Pulling the battery just repeats this symptom.
Fortunately, I used ADB, and managed to get it back to HBOOT and eventualy back to Clockwork Mod Recovery. So as far as I know I'm not yet Bricked, but still need a good ROM to properly install.
Things you may ask me:
Clockwork Mod v5.0.2.0
My SD is goldcarded.
Obviously my Phone has been Rooted Before.
The Rom I was trying to install is: "RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe"

Update: I just reloaded Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 back on, so again, my phone is fine, it's simply a matter of finding a Telus Stock Rom that I can install via ZIP.

I cannot help in RUUs, but if you want Sense 3 you should really give a try for Android Revolution HD 9.0, that's a great ROM for that and doesn't have much changes in look compared to stock.

What's the point in all these RUU's and steps to extracting the ROM from it if they don't do anything ;P?

Are you S-Off or S-On? Is your bootloader relocked? What does hboot say?

[Q] Somewhat bricked my phone, but maybe recoverable?

So after following 18 guides on trying to unlock my phone, I think I bricked it *gets stuck at HTC screen*
The current state I am in is, I have Clockwork mod installed and I can still get into the Hboot, but it says my device is an Ace... i'm not sure why. Anyway I was getting frustrated and I think I formatted my /system on my phone. What can I do to get it back or restore my phone?
- I have access to CWM and Hboot
Thank you for your help.

What have you done?

It's more like what haven't I done.
The latest things I did was use Clockwork Mod and I formatted everything including my /system/ folder. I did this because I was fed up and my root attempts had broken my WiFi so I wanted to get back to square 1 and try again.
Can I restore an original ROM and get rid of Clockwork Mod, if all I can really access right now is Hboot and Clockwork mod?

Formatting system does not go back to square one. Did you unlock your bootloader with HTCDev? If so, did you relock? Did you try to S-Off, and if so, with AAHK? AAHK2? Manually? Did you root? Did you flash a recovery other than CWM? Did you flash the right version? Those things could all matter. That's why I'd like to know exactly what you did.
If you can't remember, boot into the bootloader. What does it say?

I tried AAHK initially but it was not working.
I unlocked with HTCDev. I got the CID key and it said it was successful.
I don't think I relocked, not on purpose anyway.
I tried to S-off with this method:
Code:
boot to recovery (yes, the screen may well be blank, but adb should work fine)
adb push gfree /tmp/
adb shell chmod 775 /tmp/gfree
adb shell /tmp/gfree -f >> yeilds – s-off, supercid, sim-unlock
However when I tried this I got an error at the end
Code:
Attempting to power cycle eMMC… Failed.
No such directory
That should have been the last step and I would have been golden. However since it did not work, and because the guy does not support these actions, I found a much simpler application to do S-OFF and root all in one. However now that application says my phone is a device called "ace" and it will not work, which is why I was trying to go backwards.
And I only just saw now that AAHK2 is out........ ugh. I just want to go back to the beginning. I will post why my phone says in recovery mode to provide more info when I get home.
Thanks for the help so far.

Also would anyone know how I could get my hands on the original rom that would come with a Telus HTC DHD?

like what bananagranola said..you must show us what the state of your phone bootloader now..then we can continued help and guide you what the next step you must to do..
just turn on your phone with pressing and hold volume down+power until get inside phone bootloader..then you can tell us what the state is..?
example like this..:

Ok good news! I used clockwork recover to bring my phone back to something... hopefully it was smart. I bought it to this
DHD_WWE_3.12.405.1_STOCK_rooted_by_nitr00
My wifi is still broken, when I go to it it jsut says error. Could this be a bad Radio version?
My current software version is
2.3.5
3.0 htc sense
software is 3.12.405.1_rooted_by_nitr00
What steps should I take now that I am in this position? I am still trying to get my phone in a state that I can use my Rogers sim card. Currently I cannot find any networks with my card. I am still at the above stats, S-ON, etc..
