Hi,i own a Desire HD and my friend a Desire.He wants me to install a custom rom.after rooting it and flash CWM via Rom manager can't i just download a rom as .zip file and flash it from recovery????? Just like i do at my DHD??
[Desire Android Development] dexter93:
Φίλε και στο desire το ιδιο ειναι. Απλά το κανείς root, βάζεις το clockwork και το Rom manager, κανείς επανεκκίνηση στο clockwork και φλασαρεις το .zip με την ρομ. Για root και clockwork η πιο εύκολη λύση ειναι το unrevoked, όπως περιγράφεται στον οδηγό του turkey( κοίτα την υπογραφή μου για λινκ)

English: its the same for the desire too. Just root it, install clockworkmod and Rom manager and flash the .zip with the Rom. The easier solution for rooting and applying the CWM

Is the unrevoked method, as described on turkeys tutorial(see my signature for link)
[Desire Android Development] Hellas4:
thanks for help.now i see it has HBOOT 0.93 but with an amoled display.Will this tutorial root it without problems?or should i have to downgrade it to 0.80 first?
[Desire Android Development] dexter93:
Mine is also 0.93 and amoled. Although I faced a minor problem(as you see in my signature) a lot of other users reported that it worked flawlessly( in the end I also followed that tutorial) There is no reason to downgrade anymore, just try unrevoked. If you experience any, just let us know ;)

hello all

i just got my desire back after having it sent out to be fixed due to the constant reboot issue, came back with new board and unrooted phone.

Just want to ask is the unrevoked method still the best method to this day? as I remember using it back then when the desire came out.
[Desire Android Development] jens1987:
I used it yesterday to root my Desire in 5 minutes, so yeah, still best method.

What happens next though? Can I just flash a new ROM after I'm rooted? I've read a lot of info on other things such as ADB, recovery images, back-ups with Titanium and Busybox, S-OFF... just wondering if I need to do anything else after rooting before I can flash new ROM... Is the S-OFF advisable/necessary/optional?
[Desire Android Development] lolka23:
Hi clownage!

I assume you sent back your rooted phone to HTC?

I am asking because I have the same reboot issue and still under warranty.

I've read that phone need to be unrooted before we send back not to lose the warranty.

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] clownage:
sure did I sent it back to the local mobile store here in australia where I bought it, I put the stock rom back on before I returned it though, just incase they make some reason up to void the warrenty or whatever and not fix it for me.

It came back and with a new board and seems ok thus far. I just need to reroot again, so I guess I'll use the unrevoked method :)
[Desire Android Development] lolka23:
Thanks mate! :)
[Desire Android Development] Possible:
oke i think ive got a serieously problem.

I rooted my phone a few moths ago. Everything went oke until now.. For waranly reasons i flashed my phone back to a stock rom. The flashing went well.

But the problem is: Each time i boot up my phone, it ends up in the recovery modes (like 2 seconds from starting)

Any idea what went wrong?

[Desire Android Development] P@trick:
Hi there... This is a long long thread, so excuse that i´ve not read all..

Last timé I´ve rooted an HTC Desire it had the 0.92 Bootoader so I din´t had any problems with flashing it...

This time I have a 093.0001BL GSMPhone. Is there actualy a way to make it root / s-off?

Last try was some weeks ago, at this time there was only the possibility for non-GSM phones...

BET: Sorry for this bad english, I know it could be better, but I´m ageing :-(
[Desire Android Development] klausalex:
I have hboot 0.93.0001(10 aug 2010 as stated in the same window where hboot is mentioned-powering on the phone and holding volume down) and unfortunately unrevoked says somewhere after about 2 minute of trying and 1 phone restart:

"Error: failed to get root. Is your firmwire too new?"
[Desire Android Development] P@trick:
I´ve got the same probs... Any solutions for GSM Phones out there?
[Desire Android Development] klausalex:
With help from one of my friends I managed to root my desire.

It seems that the phone was "branded" somehow so you need to create first a Gold Card and after that Unrevoked will do the job and root it without any problems.

Thanks xda for all the info from this forum
[Desire Android Development] magickiller9:
After rooting the phone, do i have to do s-off also in order to flash custom rom?
[Desire Android Development] benko286:
Simple as it is, no :)
[Desire Android Development] Snowdan:
Sorry if this has been answered already but I have looked through as many pages as I can from anround the time OTA came out and searched the forum and the internet.

What is it about the 2.2 OTA that means that a goldcard cant be made?

Is it that a goldcard is no use anymore and the security is now done via S-on?

Do I just need to follow another guide to generate the goldcard and not the one listed in the post?

And finally am I right that a goldcard isnt needed if I use unrevoked and just want root or swap straight to a custom rom and never do OTA updates?

Thanks for those willing to answer my basic questions, I hate to ask as I know the answerrs are here but I keep going round in circles. All the guides say make a gold card (if your branded which I am) before rooting or downgrading or swapping rom but the goldcard guide says I cant do it with my current version.

Snowdan.
[Desire Android Development] diabolical28:
I read a number of pages as using the xda app search feature is useless because it doesnt search just one parent thread. So my question us the desire from us cellular. In America is that considered a branded phone or no? Has anyone else used the unrevoked method to root the Froyo 2.2 us cellular desire or which method was used

using XDA App
[Desire Android Development] Mohsin...:
Download unRevoked version 3.21, NOT the latest one. Search for it online. Also, get it to flash Amon RA instead of Clockwork Mod Recovery, as the latter won't work for flashing ROMs.
[Desire Android Development] diabolical28:
Found 3.21 but it hangs at acquirng root

I also noticed that when it first reboots to the bootloader it says pb99img.zip is wrong version or something of course its froyo but the hboot is 1.06.0000 as the mods removed my post stating my specs asking about this hboot

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for an explanation on my matter but there seems to be some good minds at work so here goes.

I have searched around the web a bit (and in XDA) but can't seem to find a solid answer, with all the wealth of ROMs available and ports from the desire HD an Z. Is it conceivable that you could fit windows phone OS onto a desire? Do we have the processing power as desire owners? Does our NAND system work differently to that of a HTC windows phone? Is it at all possible?

I just got my HTC Desire CDMA phone yesterday. I downloaded the latest version of unrevoked for Windows. When I run the app on my Windows 7 64-bit system it doesn;t do anything. It just sits at the main unrEVOked screen. Does this program work on 64-bit Windows 7?

UPDATE: I got a bit further after installing HTC sync. I then uninstalled HTC sync and left the USB drivers installed. unrevoked ran, but now I am seeing a "Internal error: Failed to unlock NAND flash" message.

[Desire Android Development] Maliacrete:
I am really sorry in advance for probably placing a problem with you although I am sure this has been discussed often. I cannot go through this thread as this is very big. I have a HTC Desire rooted (running AuraxTsense 8.4). The phone is still under gurantee and i need to send it to HTC for repair. I need to unroot the phone. The phone is running with A 080 bootloader and all tries have been unsuccessful.. I have tried to unroot with many RUUs. The minute the utility starts the connection between sync and phone is lost. The only RUU that passes this step is a utility from MoDaCo returning though a 170 error (bootloader not supported please try another utility). I am a bit frustrated. I have reinstalled and installed two different versions of HTC Sync, I have tried at least 8 different RUUs from this forum. NOTHING. As I said, the minute the utility starts and i must confirm that the steps (phone has been connected etc) has been made by ticking the box, the connection to the phone is lost and the RUU returns an error (no connection to phone make sure the phone is connected). Help. Need to send the phone in on Monday and has costs me 6 hours today. :mad:
[Desire Android Development] Maliacrete:
I forgot to say that I have found the above RUU (if you have A 0.80 bootloader download) but it doesnt work (both RUU and link).
[Desire Android Development] benko286:
How do you mean they don't work?

Thank you for answering. The link with the "working RUU" for A 0.80 bootloader leads to Shipped Roms and I get the following: Error in Query!

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signd.exe doesn't exist.. I have found the RUU though and have download this but it does not bring me any further. As mentioned above the only RUU passing through the sync problem is the MoDaCo utility which returns the 140 bootloader version error... Thank you in advance for any suggestion you may have.

Back to stock

Hello all.

I've read a lot of this and other threads and right now I have a question to which I don't know the answer.

I have to send my desire back to HTC because of the boot loop problem with overheating.

So, I unrooted and reverted everything with the RUU of last froyo that was on the Stocks thread.

This brings me the phone back to original, HBOOT, recovery, rom, blabla, but the first ROM that the phone bring when I bought it one year ago was some version of 2.1 which I don't know at all the exact number.

My problem is, when anybody does an OTA update, after it, if I make factory reset it comes back to the original version and not the OTA version right?

So with my current RUU, HTC will know for sure the phone was altered because it was impossible to have a 2.2 version originally.

Can I now run another older RUU over the one I already have? Is there any problem with this?

What's your opinion on this matters??

Thanks for your help.

Most of it. You don't need to downgrade if your GSM and if your CDMA with 1.06 hboot, you can't root. The Goldcard needs to change. There is a lot of info that really needs to change. Do you want me to go through it?

[Desire Android Development] julian.kueh:
Quoting from the Alpharev website:

"You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC. It is however still necessary to either restore your nandroid, or reflash your ROM after doing this. The partition LAYOUT has changed, the actual data still needs to be 'moved'."

The steps I need to take to s-off my Desire using this method is:

1. Nandroid backup

2. Download .img onto my SD card and rename .zip

3. Enter Recovery mode and flash the .zip

4. Restore my nandroid

Does it matter if I'm on a Froyo or Sense rooted stock Rom? How do I know which MD5 is on my Desire? I need to be sure before I attempt s-off.

Help me finding my stock rom

Dear all,

I am from india India.

I bought HTC desire 10 days back which had 2.2 FroYo out of box.

And there was a minor update available, so updated it. But now i dont know what was my stock rom version( before updating the minor update).

Right now the phone reads following information.

Android version : 2.2

Baseband version: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2

Build number : 2.13.720.2 CL274424 release-keys

Software version : 2.13.720.2

And i found that the following ROM is the only ROM which nearly matches my phone software.

RUU_Bravo_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.13.707.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed.

But Build number is slightly different (2.13.720_2). So i am not sure if this is the stock rom for my cell. Please help me.

Thanks

I have a Desire that I am trying to return to standard state and unroot.

It originally came from T-mobile UK and has HBoot 0.75 but has been rooted and ran a few different roms.

It's currently running LeeDroid 2.39.

I've downloaded the Generic RUU as I don't want to re-brand as T-mobile.

When I run it the phone re-boots but get's stuck at the black screen with a silver/grey HTC logo and the un-rooting program says ""The Rom upgrade Utility cannot connect to your Android phone. Please check that the USB cable is connected properly between the PC and your Android phone"

I then have to pull the battery and the phone reboots back into LeeDroid.

I've tried three times now and get the same result each time.

Any suggestions?
