Ok well first you'll have to unlock the bootloader via HTC method. After that you can use hansons tollkit in the development section to flash the recovery. After you have to flash superuser or supersu l (which ever you prefer). Then you can flash the rom and its boot.IMG, if you decide to stay S-On.

Hey guys,
I successfully rooted my raider using the guide provided here with cwm ver2.
I had also unlocked the bootloader with HTC dev prior to the rooting.
The rooting is perm, only issue is the phone is still S-ON, anyone experience this and know a way to get S-OFF?
Thanks in advance.

S-Off is not possible to public yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449706
1. Search. I'm pretty sure the stickies in the development section explicitly mention that S-OFF is not yet attainable.
2. What would you actually use it for? The only purpose that I know of for it is to allow the kernel and radio to be directly flashed through CWM, of which the former can be done in fastboot and the latter is unnecessary.
as others said.. not possible at this time. Please utilize the search function.
hey guys !!
just got a vivid !
it is gsm unlocked from at&t and i'm using it in india !
as i just got it, i am a complete noob at it !
i have flashed atrix, thrill, n900, hd2 , etc so i am not a noob at flashing !
i dont want to s-off my device and want to install all the custom roms without doing it
someone pls guide me !
thanks....
Go to the HTC website and find the latest ICS RUU for AT&T and run it. Unlock your bootloader. Flash a custom recovery (I prefer the WCX one). Then install whichever kernel + ROM. You say you aren't a noob at flashing and such, so I assume you can do that without much hand-holding? If you need more info then follow the guide in my link but only do the steps I just told you above.

I wouldn't even attempt it without knowing the full ins and outs of what your doing. I would read, read, reread all the issues others have had. Then learn what not to do by those people so you don't end up with a brick. After you have read, read, and reread, and understand then you can attempt it. That's what I done and have never had any issue on this phone flashing anything. Please don't jump the gun and try to do this without reading!

it was updated via the ruu from htc website !
so here's what i will do now !
1) unlock bootloader from htc-dev
2) flash wcx recovery
3) flash kernel+custom rom !

That's how I did it...but without posting questions...I'm no expert but I read, searched and reread when migrating from icrap...didn't want to ask questions which have already been answered in other posts...that is what irritates devs...I don't think people mind questions...but at least do your homework first..

ok thanks to all the folks who helped me !
i have successfully unlocked bootloader, installed wcx recovery and rooted the phone !
can i flash faux dual core kernel with at&t stock ics firmware, i heard the kernel is very power efficient !
also i saw some roms have written ""s-off only"" so as my device is s-on i can't install them right !!
i know they are too many questions , but i just need to be very sure and safe before doing anything !
thanks...

You can flash faux123's if you would like. I use the kernel myself and can say that it's the quickest, most stable, and most battery friendly kernel I've used so far. You could flash those S-off ROM's as well, you would just need to extract the boot.img from the rom .zip and flash it through fastboot.

Use THIS to root. Make sure you are on ICS though so you have the updated HBOOT
If you want a stock Htc sense 3.6 (The one that is offical for our device) I would recommend Wild Childs WCXbuilds.. You can google WCXxperia for his site.
If you are looking for a newer Htc sense I would recommend Homeslices "BoRKeD" Htc sense 4.1 build
Hopefully that can help ya out.
First of all hello to everyone
And secondly I'm sorry for the mistakes I hope few, I am French
I came on this forum for his very very large community that can help me solve my problem
So I have an Incredible S for about 3 months and for 1 month or so I passed under ICS and I'd like to spend this wonderful adventure with you rootage
So I would like the rooter but what I saw AC looks very complicated, it should unlock a HTC DEV oartir what I have done, it must be put in S-OFF (I n have not done) in order to install the rooter and a ROM but what I saw there is still no solutions to switch OFF and S-rooter for version 4.0.4
So please if you have a solution (or more) to enter S-OFF and rooter for version 4.0.4
And will be available when an official version of ROM or JB on my Incredible S
Thank you
There is a sticky on this matter.

Hello,
I have 'unlocked' my incredible s via the HTCDev website and I have got root afterwards. I have also flashed a custom ROM, Android Revolution HD, which is very stable and I would recommend if you want the latest ICS ROM.
However, I'm not S-off. If you want S-off you need to unlock via a different method. Check the link provided above and search these forums, there is a lot of useful information to be found.
My 'unlocked' S-on is still a little restrictive, S-off would allow you more access to modifications and ROM updates from the forums (as I've found out).

I got root before I installed ICS (4.0). And when you flash the custom ROM root is retained within it.
I got root from here:

No, you need to S-OFF or HTCDev UNLOCK before you get root by using this method.
As I mentioned above, I used HTCDev method to unlock first, then rooted from the link I posted earlier.

I don't really understand your question, sorry...
There are various files/programs, and various methods for using the files/programs, for each stage of the process - unlocking/s-off, install recovery, get root, flash ROM.
Each is downloadable from the XDA forum, normally in the first post of the topic.
You need to allow enough time, read each set of instructions and carefully follow each stage of the process as advised. Be aware of the warnings too!

Oh, I see now...
So you have ICS already, I guess you updated to ICS via OTA before you 'UNLOCKED' via HTCDev?
And now you want to root your phone but can't find the guidance on how to do so from ICS to root. Is this right?
For me, I can't help you as I haven't had to do this myself. I'm not sure, but you may need to follow one of the downgrade threads, but don't hold me to that. I would suggest reading and searching through the threads before trying anything.
Be aware of your HBOOT version and read through things first.
And post 2 above has tried to help you, I haven't read through that myself, but does that not address your query?

Next step is to install a custom Recovery and then you can SuperSU to get root.

Search for SuperSu and read about how to download and install it. You will install the SuperSu zip file from CWM recovery.
It's good I'm root !
Now I want a Rom or all features are functional, that is Android 4.0 (or 4.1, I doubt it) without sourcouche, like the Nexus

FFS use the search button and do just a little bit of reading before asking questions like this.... Every forum I've been on has a tutorial on how to do just about anything you want to that particular phone. If you'd have looked you would have found the answer without having to post a new thread in the 'development section' and like anonymous_1997 said this is the development section, what has your post got to do with development.
Learn to post in the right section and learn to read the current threads because the answers are in there... what you have done is just plain lazy
sorry
i really did searched and i found there are root tutorial but seems no 4.0.3 case.
i afraid it'd be different to root in 4.0.3.
so sorry about this

You can try going to the Cyanogen Mod website and checking to see if they have any 626 roms there. What is your variant/carrier please, so I can help you out better.
Also check out youtube's "Living Android" he has 2 tutorials on the 626 bootloader unlock and root.
