First of all I will like to inform you about the Superboot, Superboot is boot.img that will be rooting your HTC One S when you will boot it, If you use Superboot then there is no need for flashing any partitions or messing around with the ADB an d the contents of the data partition as well, you just have to boot the boot image following the below steps and you will done, for using this root solution you will have to get the htcdev bootloader unlock for your HTC One S but then I will like to clear it that you are performing the below solution at your own risk. You can get the Superboot r3 MD5: 220ceaf0aea599e97b6d6211ae3397d4 from this link.
The superboot image will be allowing you to use the 'adb remount' and getting full ADB root access, the below solution is for rooting HTC One S using Superboot for Windows, Linux and OSX.
First Download the Superboot zip file from the link above and then extract the same to a directory and then just Put your device in bootloader mode and for doing that you will have to switch off the phone and then switch it on while pressing volume down volume down for entering the bootloader and then pressing power button for entering the fastboot process.
- If you are using WINDOWS then just click on the 'install-superboot-windows.bat'
- If you are using MAC then just open a terminal window to the directory having the required files and then type 'chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh' without the quotes.
- If you are using LINUX then just open a terminal window to the directory having the required files and then type 'chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh' without the quotes.
I also wanted to share that it is a PERMANENT root and not temporary root so try it on your own risk!!
