[Q] Noob question re root

Hi all,
This is my first post to this forum so please be gentle. I've searched for and answer and I've read the FAQ. In the FAQ, the first question is:-
Q) Can I root my phone?
A- Yes, only if you have S-OFF
Now that HTC have released the Unlock Bootloader for this phone, is it still true that a Wildfire S can't be rooted while S-ON?
My main requirement is to be able to delete the pre-installed apps I don't want.
Thanks

If you have Unlock Bootloader you can root WFS with S-ON

So the FAQ is wrong!
Thanks btw.

s-off was the only way to unlock the bootloader, untill now that htcdev released unlock, which is actually unlocking bootloader, but leaving s-on for the sim lock...

FAQ isn't wrong, just not updated
Unlock bootloader via HTCDev allows you to root WFS, but it will be still S-ON

[Q] Rooting HTC Wildfire S

I have a question. I've seen somewhere on this forum that rooting my phone would cancel my warranty. So, i was wondering, if i root my phone while staying S-on would this apply or not???

The root will apply but when u unlock bootloader, then your warranty would be voided(canceled). Your wildfire s needs to have a unlocked bootloader in order to root; it will still say s-on in bootloader but the bootloader itself is unlocked, not the secu_flag (s-on/s-off.

[Q] S-OFF?

Hello,
I have a Wildfire S a510e unlocked with HTC Unlocked (code).
Put m1ndh4x8r rom on it and is working great.
Now ive read some time ago that S-OFF was only possible with a XTC-Clip
But since the bootloader is unlocked, does that mean that S-OFF is possible in other ways?
Or do i still need a XTC Clip to do so?
I want S-OFF to change my boot screen
I did search some topics but cant find the exact answer (yes/no).
Thanks.

You still need XTC Clip to get S-OFF

Looks to me like it requires S-OFF. The people who couldn't get it to work all had S-ON.

You can make your device ROOTED with your bootloader unlocked with S-ON. Why do you need to S-OFF?.
It can achieved by only XTC Clip and you have purchase it.!! (around $50 i think so)
This is the possible and easiest way to explore the device....
