Hi! I've waited for the official WWE ICS OTA update without "hacking" my IncS.
Now I only want to root my phone.
I'm not yet interested in flashing custom roms and I don't need S-OFF.
Is there any way to do this without losing my current installation and data? I've read lots of threads, I hear a lot about Blackrose but still don't understand if I can do what I'm looking for.
I would really appreciate any help on my question.
Thanks in advance.

The only option you have at this point in time is to unlock your bootloader using HTCDEV.com. Once it is unlocked, you can flash 4EXT Touch recovery and then from recovery mode install su-3.1.3.zip to apply root and superuser to your current ROM.
Unfortunately the unlock procedure will wipe all of your data and apps, so that really doesn't address the solution you are looking for, but that is the current option you have.
Thanks for your quick reply tpbklake.
Sorry for bothering you a little more....
By your experience do you think that in the future it will be possible to do what I want without needing to wipe data?
Or does this seem impossible to do?
Thanks again for your help! :thumbup:

Anything is possible with the talented devs here on xda, but I would not expect anything official from HTC to address this.

Neither do I believe HTC will address this. It would be great if the fantastic devs here could work around this.
Now that my phone has the latest update and is working like a charm, it would be great to have it rooted.
Thanks for your help. :beer:

Also if you do the htc-dev-method you won't achieve "full" root access. Also your warranty will be lost without any chance to regain it.

Willi120,
What do you mean by full root?
Do you mean temporary/permanent root?
About the warranty I know it because I had a Wildfire S and unlocked its bootloader via htcdev.com.
Thanks for your help!

Now I must pray that some magnificent dev finds out an exploit that allows rooting my phone without having to wipe all and start from scratch.
This is both my personal and my work phone and I really don't have the time and patience to redo all.
Specially that now it's working so well...
Thanks for any extra help!

Hi guys
I'm italian and a newbie of this forum (sorry for my bad english).
I have bootloader unlocked (htcdev.com), s-on and hboot 2.02.0002: if I want to flash a coocked rom I have to downgrade my hboot? or simply i have to install a recovery and then flash the rom?
Thanks

Use fastboot to flash recovery. Wipe data and both cache in recovery. Flash your Rom then turn phone off and go back into fastboot and flash the boot.img by typing fastboot flash boot boot.img make sure its all in the same folder there's plenty of guides on how to do this
Edit. You will have to do this on every Rom you install being s off

You don't need to downgrade as your hboot is the updated one. Keep in that you'll have to flash boot.img (fastboot flash boot boot.img) by extracting it out from the rom.zip after flashing the rom via recovery.

Thanks naathaanb96 and zukri90
I'm stupid and I don't understand what you say ... i have to install first of all recovery, then my rom and finally the file boot.img of the rom which i have installed before?
I have to install the file boot.img each time I want to install a new ROM?
PS: naathaanb96...the folder you're talking about it's the C:\Android with inside fastboot.exe, adb.exe and AdbWinApi.dll?

Yes you have to flash boot.img everytime you flash a new rom. Avoiding flash boot.img will prevent the phone from passing the splash screen.

If you will change rom, you have to do a full wipe in aroma or in recovery before the flash

To flash a custom rom, you need to unlock your device via htc-dev. I'll put a tutorial video link below.
If you already have the 4.2.2 update, don't worry about new firmware for now. Otherwise, you don't need S-OFF depending on your CID to flash the custom 4.2.2 rom and firmware.
To do a rom swap, you don't need new firmware unless it's a newer base which also got a firmware update from htc

I think is better for him use only the revone tool if he have the 1.44 hboot!
So he can unlock the bootloader and go s-off

So, turn off your phone and longpress power + vol- and when it reboot in bootloader read the hboot.
After reboot in android with the "reboot" line, for move the cursor you have to use the vol buttons

You need to be completely stock to install update properly. S-off and locked/unlocked bootloader don't influence on update. I have bootloop if I lock my bootloader so I don't lock it before installing updates.
And if I posted that I have SuperCID - it automatically means that I have S-Off.
