Up to few days ago, the only way to root the Wildfire S was using the XTC-Clip to get S-OFF (if it wasn’t already). Now, on the 8 of December 2012, it’s not necessary anymore! Please be aware that in the next few days the following procedure may not be up to date.

1. First you need to UNLOCK the BOOTLOADER, you just follow the procedure on HTC dev website: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader at the end of this step you should see the ULOCKED in the boot menu of your phone
2. The phone now is still S-ON, and it will remain like that but we will be able to root it anyways!
3. Then we could just use the HTC Super Tool (v3): http://barbey.me/ but in my case a little trick was necessary, so just download and unzip it for now
4. Download and install (if you haven’t already done during step 1) the android SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
5. Now the trick is overwriting the file adb.exe from the SDK with the one of the Super Tool
6. Start the Super Tool and follow steps 1 and 3 or 1 and 2, the reboot!
7. To check if it’s finally rooted use for instance this app

Have fun!
