[Q] rooted but no recovery?

hey guys i was rooting my phone a few months back but i got busy and never came back to it until now.
i used "visionary +" and rooted the phone successfully
i installed "rom manager" "terminal emulator"and "superuser" apps successfully
but i think thats as far as i went,
if i try to boot into recovery from the rom manager i get the red! recovery sign and can basically go no further
if i hold volume down and power i get the following
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.85.0007
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
Oct 11 2010,12:47:02
the menu options are
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
so have i rooted the phone but not installed a recovery image?
anybody got any tips on what to do next?
Thanks for reading

Depends on what you want to achieve, it could help if you mention that?
If you want to flash a recovery you need to do s-off and then flash CWM from rom manager.

How do I do s-off? I tried using the window application on this forum but it wouldn't work.
I use Linux

And yes I want to run custom roms

You need to S-OFF before you can install Custom recovery.

Rooted HTC EVO 4G s-off

I rooted my HTC EVO but it still shows my s-on instead of s-off. It still seems like I am rooted (still able to flash custom roms and grant apps superuser permissions) but is there a way to get s-off again? I am a noob but I feel like I know a lot so please be gentle.....

Here's what I would recommend:
1) Back up whatever you want.
2) Run a RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060 to run to completely stock
3) Run this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448
Then you're good to go.

How did you root? What android version are you on? The latest OTA cannot be rooted as of yet.

Depending on where you are at with your internal workings and any update you may or may not have done, you may have trail and error back to the 3.29 ruu if your getting errors, so don't give up.

Is there any word as to if it is even possible to root the ota 2.3.3 and if there is anybody working on it? I figure unrevoked has ahold of it lol

No word yet. Please stop asking, there are over 25 threads about rooting the 2.3 update already. When a root method is acheived, you will find out.

I rooted using unrevoked and I actually did root and showed s-off but I unrooted using unrevoked and it turned s-on again...now I can still flash different roms and some apps still ask for root permission and are granted....but I am trying to flash kings v6 Rom and am having issues with it.....right now I am running mikg v1.03

I just wonder if the s-on may be my issue with flashing this particular ROM....basically getting HTC launcher error....have wiped everything with clockworkmod even switched to Aman-Ra and tried that recovery also....same issue

You can easily sell the phone with S-OFF. It can actually increase the value to so wanna be tech nerd who's too afraid to turn S-OFF himself.
Seriously go pick any phone and look them up on eBay. The rooted ones usually sell for more than the unrooted ones.

Root it real quick!
All you need is to put the 2.2 PD15IMG.zip on your SD card and reboot into bootloader and you'll have a 2.2 phone pretty quick. Then you can run Visionary and you'll be set. Should take a total of 15 minutes, including the time to download 2.2 and Visionary.
Then you'll have a fully rooted S-Off phone to sell on eBay. Be sure to put that in big letters in the auction description.

That won't work... You can't downgrade to 2.2.1 through the PD15IMG file

This is the thread you need if you have S-OFF already and want to root it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200147
The first PD15IMG.zip in that thread gives you Clockwork Recovery, and then you can boot into that to apply the Superuser zip:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
Also if you have S-Off already, you can downgrade to 2.2.1 using the appropriate RUU or PD15IMG.zip, and it won't care about version number.
And the instructions for reverting to S-ON from Gfree are here partway down in the post:

You can if you have the downgraded bootloader can't you? And if he's got S OFF I assumed the bootloader was already downgraded.
In any case, it's super easy to downgrade it and fully root it no matter what the steps are. And if it's rooted it's worth more on eBay

[Q] Unlock Root

Hi every one I just came by with this website unlockroot.com they have a software that can unlock & root your device. They support HTC Glacier 2.3 but Not MT4g is it any good.

It might Root the phone, but it i will not turn s-off.
from their web-site
4. Q: Does rooting do any of the following? 1. Wipe the data? 2. Unlock the bootloader? 3. Change the recovery ?
A: You have to unlock the bootloader before rooting. It won't wipe the data or change the recovery.

6. Q: Is rooting confirmed on HTC? I got the latest HTC update and it's 2.3.3, not 2.3.7, and rooting is unsuccessful. Will I need custom rom?
A: Make sure your HTC is in S-off state. If rooting fails in S-off state, it's caused by different firmware Version.

Another reason why this person needs to refrain from rooting their device. It's very clear to me that either this person has 1) done absolutely no research prior to wanting to root their device. They'd know that rooting alone will not do what they want it to do 2) it's a spammer promoting their site 3) afraid of ADB and doing it the proper way.

When I posted that web site all, I was trying to help the People who has trouble downgrading through ADB by turn S-Off with adb then root your phone

Can you please explain your problem in detail ? Is the phone not even booting at all ?

hello, my phone is unlocked with the htc dev and then routed to the unlockroot. By applying rom manager on the phone can access the download roms, but when I ask to install a phone number appears on screen with a red light.
Phone Information:
***UNLOCKED***
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-ON

Do I have to downgrade the Hboot, or switch to S-off?

because the recovery on your phone only allow install update by official OTA/rom.if
you want to install unofficial rom,first install unofficial recovery，and then install unofficial rom.

there is here some tutorial with this release hbboot 1.02.000? thank you
