[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 ****
VISION PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-085.0015
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.10.04.03_M
eMMC-boot

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:

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).

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

[Q] How to upgrade JB Firmware with a S-Off HOX

Guys,
I'm trying to get my JB flasher tool to work with S-Off devices. (Mine is S-On so I can't test)
Can anyone with a S-off phone that's upgraded the FW let me know the procedure. There seems to be confusion about which commands work with a locked bootloader and S-off so don't speculate, only respond if you know it works.
Specific question:
If you have a CID of 11111111 does it need changing to a compatible CID from the androidinfo.txt? If so, how? Does the bootloader need to be unlocked?
Can the bootloader be unlocked without htcdev code? If yes, how?
Can all fastboot commands be run with S-off but a locked bootloader?
Thanks

DO NOT UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER!!!!
You will have to add the Super CID to the android-info.txt before flashing but other than that it's the same process as S-ON users

As easy as that. Thanks:good:
PS So S-off will ignore the broken signature?
Also, if someone has already unlocked their bootloader (due to not realising the power of S-Off ), I assume it'll need to be relocked before installing the firmware.zip?
PS Can boot.img be flashed via fastboot if its locked on a S-off phone?

Also, can I replace the recovery.img with CWM in the zip, or even just remove it. Same goes for the boot.img

If you're S-OFF you basically have the same rights as someone with an unlocked bootloader plus more so you can flash CWM/boot etc. through fastboot without unlocking the bootloader. As you said, S-OFF ignores the signature. So long as it's a proper update.zip it should flash without issues (I should qualify this by saying I'm basing this on my HTC Sensation and what I could/couldn't do with S-OFF. If I had an S-OFF One X I could give you a 100% answer)

[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).
***TAMPERED***
***Relocked***

HBOOT -1.14.0002
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.

How to Unlock a Relocked bootloader of HTC One E9 S-OFF

Hi
I managed to "Relock" my Unlocked bootloader of HTC One e9 (please don't ask why ) The phone is S-OFF, rooted with fully working TWRP recovery. How can I unlock the phone again.
I've tried the following with no success :
- command "fastboot oem unlock"
-to flash the Unlock.bin again
-the method from this topic https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571
Do you have any other ideas?
Thank you!

hmm... What about trying to unlock it in the RUU?

I just relocked my phone then unlocked it again with the same Unlock_code.bin and the same instructions from htcdev unlock instruction page 4 in download mode. So yeah, it works.
My phone is S-ON though, but I doubt that it matters.
