[Q] Noob question re root

---

Hi all,
This is my first post to this forum so please be gentle. I've searched for and answer and I've read the FAQ. In the FAQ, the first question is:-

Q) Can I root my phone?
A- Yes, only if you have S-OFF

Now that HTC have released the Unlock Bootloader for this phone, is it still true that a Wildfire S can't be rooted while S-ON?

My main requirement is to be able to delete the pre-installed apps I don't want.

Thanks

If you have Unlock Bootloader you can root WFS with S-ON

So the FAQ is wrong! :)

Thanks btw.

s-off was the only way to unlock the bootloader, untill now that htcdev released unlock, which is actually unlocking bootloader, but leaving s-on for the sim lock...

FAQ isn't wrong, just not updated :P

Unlock bootloader via HTCDev allows you to root WFS, but it will be still S-ON
