[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

You need to unlock bootloader from htcdev then you will be able to root.

he has s-off , no need for unlocked bootloader ! just run root from superoneclick found at here ... you'll guide yourself after downloading the file believe me ! It is the easiest rooting tool i ever seen !

Must be some kind of problem if he's s-off and it says locked oow.
Just double check in your bootloader and confirm if it says s-off or s-on.
If your s-off as I am then it should not say anything about locked or unlocked.

It looks like you successfully updated the bootloader [*** LOCKED (OOW) ***] but didn't finish the procedure at htcdev to get it unlocked. But in any case, it should root because you have S-OFF already.

SuperClick Root thing doesnt worl.
And yes and it is s off

have you tried zergrush, too?
Another theory would be, that the locked bootloader "overwrites" the S-OFF behavior somehow. You have 2 choices.
1) flash a hboot 1.08.0000 or whichever you want that is not from htcdev
or
2) finish the htcdev process and get your bootloader unlocked.

Hello i'm the person vinnyt is talking about, that is having the problem with rooting the HTC Wildfire S, it is a marvelc cdma phone from Metro pcs (USA service). I first used HTC Wildfire S - Unlocking Bootloader by Mstechify on youtube and i did this like the 2nd day i had my wildfire s and the first time i had an htc, so i had no idea about htc dev at the time, but anyway i did this method and i followed all the steps until the end when the program tells you to press any button to reboot, what i did was unplugged the phone but i noticed i was not rooted so i went to the the boot loader and noticed it said locked oow and it said s off so i tried almost all the root methods and tried to use htc dev, and htc dev just tells me that its the wrong RUU program so i don't know. Guys please help me all I want to do is temp. root to remove bloatware please help. thanks.

Follow this tutorial and remember to thank theq86

Did you tried out the the HTCDev.com Process.
HTCDEV.COM --> Choose Model --> Update HBOOT --> Now says "Locked OOW"
---> then Get the Token as directed by the HTC DEV.Com --> paste the token in textbox in htcdev.com ---> you got "unlock_token.bn" --> flash that using "fastboot" --> you got as "*** UNLOCKED *** ",
I hope that there is Nothing bother about S ON or Soff., My device is S-ON but Hboot is in "Unlocked" state, I already Flashed out Custom ROMS . Try out that

if you are s-off use simonsimons utility to unlock your bootloader and fastboot flash a custom recovery, then flash the superuser zip for full root
