[HTC Desire S] Xanthux.Smith:
Here's a detailed guide for all beginners who want to root Desire S with official 2.3.5 ROM using a PC with Windows Installed. I have personally tested this method on a few devices with a clean official ROM.

Notes:

This guide use the path "C:\Android" as example

Files preparation:

A) downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip

Put this file in the root directory of your memory card.

(You can always visit androidsu.com/superuser/ for a newer version. The above link is the version I used.)

B) download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-saga.img

Put this file in the directory containing "fastboot" and "AdbWinApi.dll" on your computer.

(You can always visit clockworkmod.com/rommanager for a newer version. The above link is the version I used.

Part I - Unlocking your Desire S and Installing ClockworkMod Recovery

1. Visit htcdev.com and unlock your Desire S first. Keep ALL files you downloaded from htcdev.com.

(A detailed guide is on that official website. At the moment, please choose "All Others Supported Models")

2. Ensure there is no file name as "PG88IMG.zip" in the root directory of your memory card. (The file may exist as you may have tried to root your device.)

3. Power off your phone.

4. Press and hold "Power" and "Volume-" buttons together until you a white screen with a few lines.

5. Use "Volume+" or "Volume-" buttons to choose "FASTBOOT", and press the "Power" button.

6. Connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable.

7. Run "Command Prompt" and run the following command:

cd C:\Android​

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-saga.img​

Part II - Rooting Desire S with ClockworkMod Recovery

8. Power off your phone.

9. Press and hold "Power" and "Volume-" buttons together until you reach a white screen with a few lines.

10. Enter "RECOVERY"

11. Choose "install zip from sdcard"

12. Select "choose zip from sdcard"

13. Choose "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip"

14. Choose "Yes - Install Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip"

15. Turn on your phone. Install and test some root-required apps such as Titanium Backup/Root Explorer/ClockSync,etc

16. Then you are done. Enjoy:cool:
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Good guide. You should add information about the difference between htcdev unlock and s-off. Just to let people know what they're doing and what could be done different.

Sent by my fingers to your head.
[HTC Desire S] ammenRA:
Agreed, for some, htcdev unlock means more unnecessary steps, over and over again.
[HTC Desire S] TF85:
Hello,

I hope unlock the Desire S bootloader.

At the HTCDEV site, HTC DESIRE S is not listed.

Can I select the normal HTC DESIRE or the HTC Desire HD ?

Need help
[HTC Desire S] Xanthux.Smith:
Thanks a lot for eyahl's and ammenRA's opinion.

My intention is keep this rooting guide as simple as possible.

And I think there is already a glossary out there, so I did not (and won't) post it here.

I hope you understand.

Please read the line under Step 1 in Part I
[HTC Desire S] maho92:
hallo i have problem with installing via clockworth superuser i have done everything just the clockworth is missing in my sdcard i cant find it there can you help me what to do ??
[HTC Desire S] Xanthux.Smith:
You don't have ClockworkMod Recovery in your SD card.

You should have flash(install) ClockworkMod Recovery directly into your phone through Command Prompt, which comes with a PC with Windows.

Make sure you are following the steps, especially Part I carefully.
[HTC Desire S] maho92:
yes i have clockwork recovery because when i start recovy it shows me normal clockwork program in which i can choose from sd card but that program which i should choose from sd card is missing i dont understand it ..
[HTC Desire S] lynxnoon:
@poster

u forgot to mention that if they want to flash a ROM they need to also flash the boot.img of that ROM via fastboot.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Xanthux.Smith:
Thank you very much for your reminder:)

In fact, I think my title of the post is clear enough for the purpose already:p
[HTC Desire S] Xanthux.Smith:
You have to download the "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip" from

"downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip"

Then put the zip into your sdcard

How to remove Super user and get back to factory reset

I don't find the Factory reset option under privacy and the BootLoader Factory reset is not allowing to do as well. How do I remove Super User and get back to Factory Reset
[HTC Desire S] shafk:
Thanks for the useful guide...

I've managed to unlock the phone as instructed.

However, when following Part II of the guide, when I enter Recovery Mode I dont have the option to 'Install Zip from SD Card'.

Instead I get an image of a Phone with a red explanation mark. I have made sure that Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip is on the root of the sd card.

Any Ideas?

Thanks a lot

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

OK, I managed to figure this out, I had to press power and volume-up to get to the menu in which i'm then taken to the Andriod System Recovery <3e> menu.

There is no option called 'Install Zip from SD Card' however... :confused:
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
You didn't flash the custom recovery, or didn't do it correctly.

You're in stock recovery.

Please look at the guide, look at what you've done and see where you went wrong.
[HTC Desire S] shafk:
Thanks for that Jack_R1... How sure how I missed that.

Everything seems ok now. Thanks a lot!

I want to ask if I want to install a customed ROM, what is the boot.img? Do you happen to know the detailed steps.
[HTC Desire S] Vo0do073:
Everything has worked but no root ??

Hi all,

Have followed the guide written above to the letter, and everything went smoothly without error..

I have the SU application installed. etc.

i booted in to make sure everything is ** unlocked **

and its stating:

** UNLOCKED **

and S-ON still

am i missing one last step or has something gone incorrectly, im not sure i fully understand.

when i run the SU application from within the phone there is an update available. the SU app downloads the file and attempts to install it,. then fails "obtaining root".

Anyone got any ideas ? how i can get to the S-OFF or any links i can read ?

Thanks in Advance for any help suggestions, ive tried revolutionary and it says it doesnt support 2.00.0002

Nice thread

I used your method on the latest HTC RUU ICS with HBoot 2.02.00002 with some differeces I used SuperSU and 4EXT Recovery. It worked :good:
[Vibrant Android Development] Moped_Ryder:
Inspired by Jellette I went back to a Froyo ROM. I must say its nice not to worry about 911 / gps / battery drain :)

I prefer to switch kernels via Neldar's SGS Kernel Flasher with my Froyo / GB Roms. So I combined all the kernels I have into one package. Some of you may remember I did this with my JetPack ROM port. Only this time Ive packed about every Kernel I had in storage into this.

WARNING - Flash at own risk - your warranty is prob void by now anyway.

What is included:

SGS Kernel Flasher.apk

FROYO KERNELS

GINGER KERNELS

Flash the package

Once booted back up the SGS-Kernel flasher program should be installed

Open the app, approve root, select kernel and hit flash

Profit....

Notes:

"Remap Keys" indicate that the home / back / volume keys may need to be patched. I re-uploaded the keymap fixes (I think) from the Jetpack ROM port I did. Ill need someone to confirm they work. Basically if you dont know what you are doing with remaping keys you may want to avoid them. Its easy enough to reflash a stock keylayout kernel (Bullet) without flashing a fix though.

I only have the GB Vibranted 3.0b and 3.1 kernels (not 3.2 or 4.0) because they later always bootlooped on me.

[Vibrant Android Development] Moped_Ryder:
Ill work on it tonight serendipityguy.
[Vibrant Android Development] serendipityguy:
Sweet, I will revisit again shortly.

This is just great work!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Richcar:
Hey Ruder which one of these GB kernel would you recommend for stability and overall performance. I know most people use bullet kernel for GPS but I don’t care for GPS. Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] Moped_Ryder:
I use:

Reorient_G(vibranted_vG.3.1)#51

and switch to the Bullet when gps needed
[Vibrant Android Development] Moped_Ryder:
For my Froyo ROM Ive been using the Ecotox DMZ_Kernel

I had not used it in the past so I thought Id give it a try. Ive always used Immortality and Bali in the past. So far after a day is nice and smooth. No bootloops so far.

The one item that makes the DMZ stand out for me is the 100Mhz stepping overclock. My phone does not play nice when I overclock until now. In the past it was either 1000 or 1200Mhz. With the DMZ I went to 1100Mhz and so far rock solid.

EDIT:

I really don't know if its any good but I just ran a AnTuTu Benchmark with this kernel (1100Mhz) and got a score of: 3329
[Vibrant Android Development] Woody:
Nice work buddy. I have a lot of those but there are still some that I don't have b/c the links were down or the dev picked up stakes. Will definitely add it to my collection. Btw I use SGS Kernel Flasher whenever I am on 2.2/2.3 and I always think it is an invaluable tool.
[Vibrant Android Development] Moped_Ryder:
For a long time I had just downloaded a package any dev put out, even if I didnt use it. When Multi-download went down it payed off it seems.
[Vibrant Android Development] VeryCoolAlan:
Can I flash an i9000 rom then one of these kernels? Or just the vibranted kernel?
[Vibrant Android Development] Moped_Ryder:
In theory yes. Other stuff like wifi may not work. Key-layout fix would probably have to be flashed. When someone ports a rom they update a few things to the vibrant.

Edit - If you would like I could prob put together and post my guide on how I port I9000 ROMs. There are some guides around here somewhere, but I post post updated files -n- stuff. Im back to work tomorrow so it may take a day or two - depending if I sleep or not. Your choice.

That said I tried a few ROM Ports and thought I did everything right only to get a bootloop.
[Vibrant Android Development] Orochi77:
I would like that :)

PS. Could you please upload (CWR flashable) DarkyCore-4.2.1-JVZ separately.
[Vibrant Android Development] VeryCoolAlan:
Yea :)

But you should sleep lol

I flashed stock darky 10.2.2 resurrection

then flashed the darky button fix

Then the vibranted kernel

then unsigned kb5 modem

And finally works :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Moped_Ryder:
Wifi work? Usually I had to fix the /system/etc/wifi/wifi.conf

make sure the IFACE line looks like this:

IFACE_DIR=/data/misc/wifi
[Vibrant Android Development] Moped_Ryder:
I packaged it together and attached to first post.
[Vibrant Android Development] Orochi77:
Thank you Sir :)
[Vibrant Android Development] serendipityguy:
Hello Moped_Ryder,

Thank you for you Valuable efforts, such a great contribution to the Android community By and Large!

Were you able to look up the rest of the Kernel data? :D

Regards,
[Vibrant Android Development] Moped_Ryder:
Ill go thru your list again an try to come up with info for missing kernels. No Prob
[Vibrant Android Development] VeryCoolAlan:
Yea It worked!
[Vibrant Android Development] Moped_Ryder:
About the only 2 I see missing from your Bible is the Froyo Bullet kernel (not GB) and the Dragon kernel.

unfortunate both websites that held info are gone. The EDT site is gone and I cant get the cache of the page. Also The Dragon kernel was on the of Team Whisky page. Here is some old info on the Dragon kernel:

[Vibrant Android Development] suchavibrantthang:
hey moped, nice job on the package. saves time on the searches. just wanted to know if all your kernels matched the md5. i d/l immortality from Mr. Apocalypse's OP page and the codes didn't match. is this a case of the file being old and not updated causing this umatching?
[Vibrant Android Development] Moped_Ryder:
It matches for me. The MD5 I have for Immortality 2.2 (zImage file) is:

MD5: 562849A594B593823CC03AECFD19C614

Looking here:

http://code.google.com/p/immortality-kernel/downloads/detail?name=Immortality_v2.2.zip&can=2&q=

and extracting the zImage file the MD5 matched up. What or where did you get yours?

Are you comparing the Immortality2.2(zip) file against just the zImage file I have in the sgs-kernel package? If so extract the zImage file from your Flashable Immortality kernel and check the md5.
[Vibrant Android Development] Moped_Ryder:
btw:

Best way I found to check hash tab / MD5 is:

http://www.implbits.com/HashTab.aspx

After installing right click on file and you will have a "File Hashes" tab.
[Vibrant Android Development] serendipityguy:
Thanks for your continued support Moped_Ryder & Nice Links above !
[Vibrant Android Development] g1no23:

[Vibrant Android Development] kaiser_bun:
That thanks button isn't big enough to tell you how awesome that zip is Moped_Ryder.

I've been bouncing back and forth between ICS and Froyo, and as I've tried some of the Froyo ROMs out there I had been trying to track down different kernels to find something that fits just right. With some kernels gone and others with links dead I had to do a double take when I saw your compilation of so many of them.

Big props to you man. Much appreciate the share.

My cpu is getting stuck at the max freq. In going to try out project v. hopefully that will help.
[Vibrant Android Development] kaiser_bun:
What governor are you using? Still trying out Bullet?

Are you using SetCPU to change your settings? I never really cared to get as much in the weeds as SetCPU would let you, and used NoFrills CPU Control. Simple interface to let you set a Max-Min, governor, and scheduler. Try that and see what your governor and max settings are. If you're locked on the max clock it would seem like you're on the performance governor.
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
No, but you can use Overstock and OC it to 1.2. Built by the same person.

Really wanted to try some 3D movies on my device, but since it's not a 3D enabled device, I used 4media 2D to 3D converter and converted Justice League Doom to 3D Anaglyphic avi format and transferred it to my device. I use vplayer to play it a s a normal avi file and use a Cyan/Blue NVIDIA 3D Vision Glass I got from Ebay. It was quite watchable.

Now after searching for a bit, i found a dedicated 3D player on a chinese website called 3DV player http://bbs.mumayi.com/thread-187174-1-1.html . Now the problem is the app starts but force closes everytime.

With this app you can directly load a 2D media file and play as 3D on your device withpu the hassle of conversion.

Can anybody find a fix for it so that it doesn't crash when you use this app on the GT-P6800?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] EnchantMyHeart:
Hi,

I have been trying to root my NT (and am new to rooting in general) using Indirect's SD card method. I appear to be having the same problem that many people have... my NT only boots up to the Factory Reset screen... I am quite jealous of all those who have solved it, because I am not having any luck.

My NT WILL NOT turn on normally while it is plugged in to my computer. And it doesn't like to turn on using Power+n... but it will...

Is the problem that my NT has software version 1.4.2? Cause if it is... I need VERY THOROUGH step by step instructions to downgrade then install. :)

Thank you, kindly!

rooting can be tough. hmm, did you successfully run the app to turn 'on' debug ? . do you know if your adb is okay ? . because you are a self professed 'noob', may i recommend you watch the utube video instructions several times ( pause and write down notes. never stray from the steps )

I'm considering buying a gs 4g from an ad on craigslist. seller says he or a friend bricked it by flashing the wrong kernel or something and now it wont boot. from the ad "I tried to have my friend flash/root it, but he accidentally used the wrong program to flash my kernel, now it won't boot up"

Does this sound fixable? or is there no way to know for sure without having the device. He's selling for $75 obo, i think if i could get it for 50 it would be a good deal
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheKucho:
I'm not extremely tech savvy but I'm sure it's fixable. We got plenty of helpful people here that are willing to take their time to help(i hope). Don't get me wrong but 50 bucks is a darn good price for this device. You should also consider asking about the physical condition of the phone. Best of luck if you decide to buy!
