I take no responsibility for whatever may happen to your phone.

To root, you first need to gain S-OFF, this part is taken from the first thread.


So here we go, 
- Before doing anything, make sure you have the latest HTC SYNC on your PC (get it from here).
- Connect your phone to PC and sync all your data (contacts, media, docs...etc.)
- Disconnect your phone, then uninstall HTC SYNC, but you must leave the drivers on your PC.
(i.e. Uninstall the htc sync program only, not the drivers)

S-OFFing the Device

Downgrade to HTC Froyo WWE for AlphaRevX "now named: Revolutionary" (HBOOT 1.01.0001)
It has been confirmed that AlphaRevX "Revolutionary" tool is not S-OFFing wildfire (buzz) 2.2.1, with HBOOT 1.01.0002!
Therefore, downgrading the HBOOT to 1.01.0001 is must for the meantime, to get an efficient S-OFF.
Lots of people seem to be having issues when trying to downgrade their Wildfire from a carrier-branded version (HBOOT 1.01.0002) to unbranded WWE (HBOOT 1.01.0001).

So, here’s a small package to help you do this.

click here.

If you have HBOOT 1.01.0001, you can skip to the step entitled Revolutionary

Extract this package somewhere you can find it, like your “Desktop” for example.

Step 1: run step1.bat from the package. This will downgrade your MISC partition to allow for the RUU downgrade.

At the end, GoldCardTool will start up, to allow you to create a goldcard which you will need before starting Step 2.

How to deal with Gold-Card Tool:
1. Switch off your phone, remove your microSD card.
2. Insert the microSD card into your card reader, connect it to your computer and format the card to FAT32 file system. 
3. Insert the card into your HTC Wildfire and power it on. 
4. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your phone in Menu > Settings > Applications > Development. 
5. Connect the phone to your computer via USB and set the mode to charge only. 
6. Launch Gold-Card Tool on your computer and click ‘GetCID’. 
7. Copy the CID code from the text box and click the link shown below that text box to open it in your browser window. 
8. In the browser window, enter all the details required and submit that form. 
9. You should now get an email from PSAS. Open it and download the ‘GoldCard.img’ attachment. 
10. Now set your phone’s USB mode to Mass Storage. 
11. In Gold-Card Tool, click ‘Refresh’. 
12. Select your mounted SD card from the drop-down menu saying “HTC MMC:”
13. Click ‘Load Goldcard.img’ and select the file downloaded in Step 11. 
14. Click ‘Patch MMC’ and your Gold Card will be created. You may exit Gold Card Tool once done.
After you've made the goldcard, and patched it, continue with step 2.
• Step 2: run step2.bat from the package. This will downgrade your ROM version to HTC WWE Froyo for Wildfire (unbranded).
If you get a Customer ID error while doing this, your goldcard is not working!
Create a new goldcard and re-run step2.

Revolutionary

* Steps: 
1st You need to get to: http://revolutionary.io/ to download the tool, and to get your “beta key” which you’ll get in a pop-up window in the same download page after you click the download link for (windows version).
The “beta key” is a must; the tool won’t work without it!
You’ll be asked to provide your phone “serial no.”, typically it should be something like HTXXETDXXXXX, and you can get it from: 
Settings --> about phone --> phone identity. 


Now, do the following:
1. Run latest version of HTC Sync on your PC and connect phone in HTC Sync mode and sync all your files. Remove HTC Sync and not the drivers.
2. Reboot phone.
3. Settings->Applications->Development->Check “USB Debugging”.
4. Run Revolutionary and connect phone to PC in “Charge Only mode”.
5. Revolutionary should recognize your phone and show your Device Serial number.
7. Type out the “key” in the Revolutionary tool software, keeping in mind the upper and lower case letters and press enter (you can copy / paste the key).
8. Revolutionary should start doing its job and you’ll get S-OFF in less than 90 seconds.
9. If it takes longer, just wait for the 15 minutes mark, if nothing, then reboot phone and retry. 
(Some members got S-OFF after multiple tries)

Now, to get to actually rooting the phone by installing clockworkmod and subsequently, the superuser app.

1. Ensure that your SD Card is FAT32 then copy this to the root of your SD card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...7&d=1300751790
2. Go into HBOOT(switch off phone and switch on while holding down the volume down button) and click yes when it asks you to update 
3. Remove the img file from your sd card and add this file: http://bit.ly/su2361ef
4. Go into HBOOT and click Recovery!
5. Click install zip from sdcard (or some thing like that) (Protip: Navigate in the recovery with the trackpad, not the power button!)
6. Click choose zip from sdcard
7. Locate your zip and let it update
8. Boot into your now rooted phone and install ROM Manager from the market.
9. Open ROM manager and Install Clockword Mod recovery (or sth like that) twice in a row (this is important to ensure proper installation)

YOU ARE NOW ROOT!!!!

HOW TO ROOT HTC DROID INCREDIBLE

HOW TO ROOT HTC DROID INCREDIBLE

Finding ways to root the HTC Droid Incredible has been a long, hard road but it seems that all great journeys do get happy endings. Thanks to Team unrEVOked, a tool now exists to make the previously painful rooting process fast and painless. The tool, called unrevoked³, has been released for Windows, Mac, and Linux. On top of rooting your HTC Droid Incredible, it also installs ClockworkMod Recovery, so you no longer need to wait to jump on flashing ROMs. This also permanently unlocks the NAND flash on your phone.

Windows users may find their version of the method slightly longer than that of Mac and Linux users, requiring Windows users to install HBoot drivers and to disable HTC Sync, but have no fear. Our guide will walk you through the process. For Mac and Linux users, you can skip ahead to the section on rooting your HTC Droid Incredible using unrevoked³.

HOW TO ROOT HTC ONE S

HOW TO ROOT HTC ONE S

If you’re in ownership of an HTC One S, you’ll probably be pleased to learn that it’s been rooted courtesy of – as usual – XDA developers, or, more specifically, forum member paulobrien.

We’ve got all the details in a step by step below. Please make sure you read every step carefully in order to prevent any mishaps.

DISCLAIMER: Proceed with caution and at your own risk. Redmond Pie is not to be held responsible for any loss of data as a result of you following this tutorial.

Step 1: Download the Superboot .zip file and extract the files therein [Download link over at XDA, with link at the end of the post].

Step 2: Next, you’ll need to ensure your device is in bootloader mode by turning off the phone first, and then powering with the ‘volume down‘ button pressed.

Step 3: Extract the contents of the ‘r3-ville-superboot.zip‘ downloaded in Step 1, and save the folder in a recognized location.

Step 4: Connect your device to your computer via USB cable.

(Mac users, skip to Step 6, Linux users, jump ahead to Step 7).

Step 5: Locate the folder containing the extracted files. Double click on the ‘install-superboot-windows.bat‘ file [WINDOWS ONLY].

Step 6: Run the Terminal app on your Mac, making sure that it points to the directory that containing the extracted files. Then, type in the following command:

chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh ./install-superboot-mac.sh

Step 7: Run the Terminal application on your Linux-powered computer, and again, ensure it is it pointing to the directory containing the extracted files. Type in the following command:

chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh ./install-superboot-linux.sh

And that – as they say – is that. If you followed the steps religiously, you should now have root access to your HTC One S, with all the freedom and possibilities having a rooted device brings with it!

If you’re unsure of the benefits of rooting your device, or are looking for more information on the subject, I highly recommend you check out this post, which covers many of the pros and limitations of owning a rooted device.

If you get stuck at any point before, during, or after the rooting process, you’re strongly advised to check out the original thread on XDA. They’re a helpful bunch of guys, and very informative, meaning you won’t be stuck for too long.
