Hi everybody,
I recently bought an Incredible S and upgraded it to GB 2.3.3
And like I do with every phone I want to root it, but I couldn't find any methods to do so, I have tried many, like GingerBreak SuperOneClick etc.
I did manage however to get it S-OFF, so I won't be needing help on that, just the rooting part, please help!
-Dennis
P.S. sorry for the title, I meant 2.3.3 not 3.2.2
You could simply edit the title of your post. Anyways since you said that you have S-OFF, i'm guessing that you used the Revolutionary Tool to gain it. Using that should have installed ClockworkMod Recovery. All you need to do now is boot into recovery (ClockworkMod) and flash superuser (Flashable zip attached).
Yes I used that one and I have installed Clockworkmod, I'm gonna try that now thanks! And thanks for quick reply
I get this error: "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" can't I get into Recovery mode manually? If so how?
OMG You're awesome! I got it! My phone is finally rooted! I went into Recovery Mode through HBOOT btw.

I'll try to understand what you're saying. I guess you're asking if it will root your HTC Incredible S (UK Version). If you have ClockworkMod recovery installed (along with S-OFF), then yes. Check out this thread for more information to root your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122694 but first you must use Revolutionary to gain S-OFF if not done already which can be found here: http://revolutionary.io/ .
You guys (that are asking how to root) should just read up in the Incredible S subforum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1025
Everything about how to root the device has been asked before, and answered. All the info is there. Just start reading, and use the "search" function. Spend some time in the subforum for your device, and you will be an expert in no time.
Nice

I tried to root it says Im rooted then Im not rooted then I cant install busybox. Superuser is installed. What do I do root again?I tried the the easy install method like I used to and always worked but I lost the file I used to use. Guess I will eventually have to learn ADB.It says s-off which I thought it meant rooted.
Rebooot into hboot, look for s-off if it says that, your rooted. If it says s-on than it isnt

It says s-off but cant do anything, cant install busybox, do anything with rom manager etc...
Too many possible solutions...brain exploding...
Roms are "rooted" so the problem is in the rom you have itself. If you have no recovery, simple suggestsions are...
-See if you are able to install an updated version of Superuser from the Android Market and fix your permission problems and let you reflash recovery.
-Flash a custom recovery via bootloader and flash whatever rooted rom you want from that custom recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179386
-Flash a pre-rooted stock PG05IMG.zip in bootloader such as the custom one in the rooting tutorial
somebody set you up the bomb?
were you able to get clockwork on at least(if it didn't get put on automatically when you s-off'd)
I couldnt get into clockwork, i renamed a stock debloat rom and tried to load in recovery it says it loaded but it didnt nothing happened.
Run step 3 again

Screw it it says s-off Im rooted but then I cant get into clockwork or busybox Im just going back to stock.
Try flashing a different rom, like gingeritis or bamf. If it doesn't load through cwm, try installing a working cwm like the above posts mentioned. And then try again. My guess is your still on a stock rom so there is no root functions available to you, or your cwm is corrupted

His main problem is that he says he doesn't have a custom recovery (clockwork) installed. So he can't flash this.
Only thing he can access and use is hboot right now so using my second or third suggestion above (which he would have to do in order to flash that zip) would definitely fix his issues. The first suggestion I gave would help in some situations so I added it first but as I said, 2nd and 3rd would work fine.
All this assumes he actually doesn't have a custom recovery but does have engineering hboot s-off. If this much isn't true, then he could just unroot and start over using the pinned guides in the dev section.

You are correct my friend, i have eng hboot s-off but I just need to follow the directions in the dev section if I really want to pursue this further. I went back to stock and when I have time or feel like trying again I will follow the guide as I re downloaded the files again.
I do have another question as Im a little slow lol. I have or am installing the sdk package now and to follow the dev root how do I get to the adb section. I just start the manager and go from a c: prompt nad use the line by line from there as if I tried using terminal from the phone it would get lost right? Sorry for the stupid question its just I used to use the auto root method that I had and it always worked then I lost the files. I also install all or everything it wants to for SDK correct?
ok on step 5 and it says device offline or error and is not working a little help please.
Ok I tried adb and I get errors , permission denied, tried several auto roots and get errors. This phone really doesnt want me to freaking root. Time to get a different phone or actually stay stock as it runs good and battery life isnt bad.
Hi there,
Forgive me if this has already been asked. Anyone know of a simple and safe way of getting S-Off on the Hero? Mine is happily rooted, running Ele 3.6, etc. with Amon Ra recovery, but it's still in S-On state.
Thanks in advance!
Searching for this also
I remember getting the S-OFF SPL from Modaco.
I am not sure if this is the best version, but this is the link I found after some quick searching.
android.modaco.com/topic/296389-24nov-unlocked-spl-for-gsm-hero/
Hi guys,
Sorry to bring up this old topic, but I can't get my Hero to be S-Off.
I've downloaded the SPL at the last post, and installed it in Recovery mode, but the changes won't apply.
Can you give me a help?
Thanks
I want to know how to do this too. I downloaded HTC's method but it only works with stock firmware which i dont have
can you use unrevoked? i know for my cdma hero and evo 4g unrevoked was the method (well, revolutionary which is based off of unrevoked for evo)
edit: i found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471460
read everything 100x through if you plan to try this, and by god if your not sure or have any fear of a possibly bricked phone, THEN DO NOT DO THIS! lol
thats just what i found through search, there may be other methods.
is s-on limiting anything that you need to do with your phone?

Thanks for the link, but I've tried that, and it doesn't work, my Hero was already rooted and had Recovery installed, so I've jumped to the last part, and when I choose to install the zip from sd, it says it was installed, but when I reboot it doesn't change anything :S

Hi Found the tutorial on Xda forum also, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471460
i had try it and at the emulator flash_image, i get error said that flash_image not found ..
any one can help???
What ROM do you have, stock or CM7, you need to download the flash_image binary first. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/flash_image get it from here
Now that the HTCDev allows the unlocked bootloader, and stuff at their website, is there a better (read:easier, quicker) method of installing CyanogenMod? I had rooted my phone a long time back but I had issues and had gone back to Stock ROM for a long time. Now, I feel the need to go back to Custom ROMS.
Can someone tell me if the Google Market works well on CM7? That's all I care for, really.
Here is a guide I had posted a while back when I was an enthusiast. Could someone go through it and modify it in accordance to the new method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823625
Thank you, everyone!
Edit:- Now done Hboot 1.02 and unlocked boot loader, can't use clockwork mod update.zip :-(
I haven't yet done the hboot update to 1.02, but my understanding is that once you've done it, you can use clockwork mod to flash custom rom, the bootloader is already unlocked so shouldn't need rooting again.

There's no need for a new guide. Everything is described perfectly at HTCdev.

Sill me, I did not see the "Proceed to Step 1."
once you have Hboot 1.02 update done, you are NOT rooted, you need to use
HTC SuperTools v3 from here: http://barbey.me/?page_id=202
I did selection 1 then 3, then had su, but android commander reported no root access anymore

CM7 for the Legend is very mature.
Everything I use, including the Market, works fine.
Does the Wifi Access Point work on CM7 ? I've read on several custom roms it doesn't because of driver issues.

tethering works fine on a CM 7.1.0 device here ;-)
After I unlock my Legend with HTCDev,
I used the wildfire path on unrevoked.com
unrevoked installed clockwork mod and everything, so I just needed to put the cyanogenmod zip on my sd card and install from recovery.
very easy
I did pretty much the same thing as ranger4740. I used HTCSuperTool v3 to gain root but had problems flashing CWM Recovery from the stock recovery. So I did a bit of researching and ended up having to put my phone into fastboot and use adb to push the recovery image onto my Legend and flash it. After that I've had no problems with my rooted Legend Once I'm able to post links (because I'm still pretty new here) I hope to write a full updated root guide
The unrevoked method is seriously the easiest one and I've tried heaps of methods
Took me a half hour and I was playing with cyanogen 7.
I can put up some instructions if u like, but it would have to wait until I get back to the laptop, and honestly, its incredibly straight forward.

Check your hboot. If your hboot is less than 1.00 than unrevoke is the fastest way. Dont bother to bootloader unlock phone via htcdev. Since unrevoke also flash a cwm recovery. You can flash any rom directly from there.
But else follow the htc dev guide to unlock bootloader. Once your bootloader got unlocked. Use fastboot to flash your recovery to cwm. With this cwm recovery you can flash cm7 directly.
Before htcdev gave bootloader unlock for our legend, The only reason i found why we of thouse with hboot 1.00 and above need to downgrade to eclare is to also downgrade stock recovery to e2 from e3 which came during froyo. Because our cwn fakeflash update.zip only able to load from e2. Thus from eclare you can flash cm7.
The guides are there. Its already there. Many of us has use it successfully.

I already Unlocked my HTC Rezound but I am not able to root it using the oneclickroot method. i get Fail and error messages but it tell me it was successfully rooted. No Super user app.
Can anyone Help me with this? Im I missing something? doing anything wrong?
Thanks!
You must have the update then. OneClick root doesn't work any more.
Just download and flash Amon Ra in fastboot, then go to the developer menu in that and install su. Then I believe you need to update it from the Market. The you'll be rooted and ready to flash a custom ROM.
To flash Amon Ra, just put in in the same folder you used for the unlocking and use the following command:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Also, if you are planning on flashing an ICS ROM you might want to use v3.10. Otherwise go with the latest which I think is still v3.14.
Thanks, that worked.

You do know that it is recommended to not use clockworkmod on the Rezound and to use Amon Ra instead right? Even a post above your suggested doing that.
i did the update too cause i just bought the damn phone.

I had also did that. Thing is, when I booted back up, my phone was in the state of not being rooted. Even after flashing the superuser zip.
So, what I did was flash the boot.img from the rom I wanted to flash, through fastboot.
Thank you for the help though. It's really appreciated.

Months ago I used HTCDev to unlock and flashed TWRP recovery and su-2.3.6.3.zip from this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
I was underwhelmed with the MIUI ROM and got curious about Sprint's ICS update, so I relocked the bootloader and ran the 2.17 RUU.exe, then updated to 2.89 OTA. After that I could use my original HTCDev Unlock_code.bin to unlock the bootloader, but su-2.3.6.3 would not give me proper root access (verified with Root Checker app). Thankfully downloading Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip from http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and flashing it through recovery worked.
I now have root with the stock Sprint ICS. Why? Because I wanted to keep the 3D and Wimax functionality (i know, i know) while still being able to run TiBackup to freeze the goddamned pre-installed apps that everyone hates. I'm sure this is stated elsewhere in the forums, but I read your post before I resolved my issue so I thought I'd come back and reply just in case you or anyone else were still grappling with it.

Thanks a lot, that really helped me to root a brand new stok rom on the Sprint evo 3d!
Just for future reference when you download a super user zip, notice the letters next to superuser efghi those letters represent the past android os's (e)clair, (f)royo, (g)ingerbread, (h)oneycomb, and (I)cecream sandwhich. Always look for that if you plan to root a stock Rom.
