[Desire Android Development] JonesWTF:
Has the windows 7 problem been fixed yet? I'm still stuck at "pushing recover image". I would use linux, but I don't have access to my machine right now.

I'm already rooted with r1, all I want to do is push the image. Does anyone have a copy of unrevoked 2.1 I could use just to push it, please?
[Desire Android Development] cruzzmz:
Dunno why some ppl could not maker it to work in w7. I flash it using w7 32 bit. If this help

1. Download the driver

2. Put desire in hboot plug usb cable

3. Install driver using device manager

4. Reboot back desire

5. Plug usb back to desire

6. Click on evo3

7. Let it run untill finish flashing

The process will take 2-3 min
[Desire Android Development] sonothar:
hey, i'm new to this and i just did under ubuntu.worked perfectly in just minute. great!!!
[Desire Android Development] w0utje:
Very Very nice, windows 7 x64 didn't worked for me, he just says pushing recovery image...

tried it now with my EEE pc with ubuntu. and in one time a new recovery image done and now backing up my stock rom! (i think its my stock rom because it only flashes the recovery image) takes a while..

BUT VERY VERY NICE :P

I just wanted 2 make sure that I could backup my stock rom -> now with root access :)

thanks ppl of unrevoked!!

Update: backup complete!

rebooting.. still have my stock rom! yay ;)

by the way in terminal the reflasher gives an error code:

n = -1, errno = 19 (onjuist apparaat)

"onjuist apparaat" is dutch for wrong device
[Desire Android Development] JonesWTF:
I know, it's very strange. This is exactly what I've been doing, but still now luck. Don't know why it won't flash it?

Do you think maybe if I flash an eclair rom and push it, it might work?
[Desire Android Development] cruzzmz:
What ver of w7 are you using now ? Im using ultimate. Or better use an ubuntu live cd?
[Desire Android Development] JonesWTF:
This is a 32bit machine running ultimate. I cant use a live cd, this machine is a bit crappy and has no burner. Don't really have the time to set up a VM either. Maybe I should just wait a few weeks until I get back to my machine....
[Desire Android Development] StuMcBill:
Have you tried unrEVOked 3.1 (released this morning)?
[Desire Android Development] JonesWTF:
No, I will now.

I just changed the rom to LeeDroid's sense 2.2 and it started working. Done everything up to the reboot, then just stayed at "wating for reboot".

Now I have now recovery at all.
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
I'm stuck at "Flashing recovery image. Do not touch your phone!

Recovery image: ClockworkMod Recovery"

It has been there for like 10 min.

Any thounghts?
[Desire Android Development] reidar.ostrem:
The flashing should be over in 1 minute.. so something must have gone wrong .. :/

What's your setup ?
[Desire Android Development] photek1000:
Cheers UnrEVOked, very easy once I moved onto my Ubuntu laptop, Windows was a major PITA.
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
DeFroST 2.0, win7 x64

Not trying to root, just create a custom recovery image.
[Desire Android Development] JonesWTF:
I am now stuck at the same point. Check if you can actually start up your recovery. Mine has disappeared. Can't even use ROM Manager to do it. I choose Recovery at the bootloader and it just restarts into fastboot.
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
same here, but came across this: http://rootmydroid.co.uk/guides/desire/howto-root-your-htc-desire/
[Desire Android Development] reidar.ostrem:
Ok.. I've seen several reports that there are problems on W7 x64. I used XP, and it worked fine with the UnrEVOked 3.1.
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
I finally made it work. Forgot to uninstall HTC Sync
[Desire Android Development] larbke666:
Is there anything i should do before running this app?

Just got my brand new desire.

Should i backup something, or...? and how?
[Desire Android Development] :
Wow just rooted in a matter of seconds on Slackware 13 :D

Great work
[Desire Android Development] twistedteak:
Finally got this to work

win 7 32

aside from following all stated instructions...

the combination was:

Install HTC sync

Uninstall HTC sync (but NOT HTC drivers)

Put desire in CHARGE ONLY mode

no other combinations worked for me
[Desire Android Development] stainesy81:
im stuck!! im a newbie to pc and android, i sucessfully rooted my old hero and flashed roms with ease. i have installed reflash and uninstalled htc sync, so when i connect the phone whilst running reflash all drivers have installed except android 1.0, i have downloaded the driver but cannot load it. im using vista if it helps!

literally 1 minute after i wrote this i figured it out. im a genius!!:) :p
[Desire Android Development] JonesWTF:
I still have no recovery at all. Can't even run the ruu to start all over again. Any ideas chaps?
[Desire Android Development] def-g:
This method works on Windows 7 -64 Page 8 post#75. Was nervous about flashing, but this was pretty straight forward. With pics :)

[Desire Android Development] pranavd1980:
Done.....Great.....MOD please stick this post....very much useful to android noobs like me....
[Desire Android Development] pranavd1980:
Need Urgent Help....

Followed the procedure listed below...

Step 1 - Installing a Custom Recovery Image Using UnrEVOked

Run the UnrEVOked file.

Install the HBOOT driver (take a look at the guide in the folder you just extracted UnrEVOked to)

Uninstall HTC Sync (leave HTC Driver Installer)

Reboot your PC

Take your Desire and go to Settings > Connect to PC > Default connection type > Disk drive > Remove check from Ask me

Connect your Desire to your PC

Start the reflash.exe in Admin mode

Wait (it should take about 1-2 minutes)

Then, your Desire should be in recovery mode!

Step 2 – Installing a Custom ROM

Download a ROM from XDA or MoDaCo (We reccommend Paul’s MCR r4 with Sense from MoDaCo)

Transfer it to the root of your SD Card (i.e. Not in any folders)

Turn off your phone & turn it back on again holding POWER + VOL DOWN then use vol up/down to scroll down to ‘Recovery‘ and power to select.

When you see the recovery screen, use the trackball to scroll to ‘Nandroid‘ and press the trackball to select. Then select ’Backup‘ (You can also use ‘Restore’ to restore)

Once that has done, go to ‘Flash zip from SD Card‘ and select the ROM you downloaded.

When it’s finished, select ‘Reboot‘ and your phone will reboot into your new rooted custom ROM!

Everything gone fine but, Only problem i am facing is now phone is not booting up.....Showing HTC Screen only.....

Shall i switchoff and on again...or wait for few more minutes....(already 10 minutes passed).....
[Desire Android Development] pranavd1980:
Made it after w8ting for 20 minutes.....Desire working fine with Pay's 2.3....Wow:D:D:D:D
[Desire Android Development] kai84m:
I'm not shure if i had better opened a thread for it:

Recently on Twitter:

unrevoked

Team unrEVOked is proud to announce that we and @AndroidBruce have the first HTC Incredible with a patched bootloader.

Unlocked Bootloader

I dont know what that means for Desire in detail but i think were getting closer to "full root"!
[Desire Android Development] elvis56:
I'm not exactly sure how I flashed unrevoked 2.1 but I am pretty sure I flashed when it was in Hboot, NOT in normal mode. The new drivers are for windows to recognize your phone when it is in recovery mode, the regular HTC drivers are to recognize your phone in normal mode. As far as I remember i booted to Hboot and then ran reflash.exe.
[Desire Android Development] Vario_User:
OK, I did it - got the superuser menu in the app list.

One question for a android newbee :).

How can I use apps2SD now? Is it ONLY working with a custom rom? Or can I use my stock ROM with it? If it works with a stock rom as well - is there a special "apps2SD" / which one to use?

Thanks

[Desire Android Development] StuMcBill:
What happens when you try and run an RUU from within fastboot?
[Desire Android Development] Gerald.W:
Just for others who haven't got it to work yet this is how I did it on win7 64.

1. download unrevoked 3.1

2. run the file and open hboot driver.htm

3. follow all the instructions in hboot driver

4. at the end of step 3 reboot your phone through the reboot options presented. Use the volume keys for up and down and the power button to select

5. install HTC sync

6. go into control panel on your computer and uninstall HTC Sync BUT leave the file right next to it called HTC driver installer

7. restart computer

8. run reflash.exe as administrator

9. connect phone

10. leave it.

11. rooted

Hope this helps.
[Desire Android Development] JonesWTF:
It wasn't doing anything at first. Just kept saying I had less than 30% battery or that the usb connection had failed. Then all of a sudden it just worked.

I'm now back to the old, stock, unrooted rom with a working recovery.

It's a strange feeling being unrooted after all this time, hahahaha!!

I think I'll just wait to use my own pc until I try unrevoked again.

Thanks for the help everyone :D
[Desire Android Development] Eldarik:
Will it still be possible to receive FOTA Updates after rooting the desire and installing a custom recovery image?

Is there a way to receive FOTA updates after rooting or changing recovery?

Will I be able to return to a stock rom (orange spain) or WWE version at al later time?

[Desire Android Development] scar45:
Hey all,

I just tried in Win7 x64 using the proper methods described above, and my phone does reboot after evo3.1 triggers it, then it complains about Windows, waits 5 secs, waits 3 secs, then quickly some text flashes, and the program says "Done!"

I unplugged and powered down my Desire, then went into Recovery Mode in hopes of seeing ClockWorkMod, but I see the normal one (white background). I also notice I have HBOOT 0.75 now (thought I had 0.8 after the Telstra official ROM update, but I could be wrong). Anyways, right after entering the bootloader/recovery with POW+VOL_Down keys held, I see 8 lines of green text flash up saying something like "No image found!", then I am able to control the bootloader with the vol keys + power.

I don't know if it has fully worked, and I'm hoping someone who has successfully done it, let me know if their recovery screen is different (I read elsewhere it should be black BG w/green text).

Also, when I go to "Recovery" in my current bootloader, it flashes the boot screen for a sec, then goes back to the FASTBOOT menu. Is this normal?

Looking for some insight before I try the Ubuntu Live CD method (also, any proper guide for that would be appreciated too...tips were said before in this thread but I am a Linux noob for sure).

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] ranchu:
I am in the mid of rooting and flashing using this ONE-click apps ....

few things to be kept in mind ...

- HTC syn had to be uninstall

- USB connection = Disk drive

- Remove check from Ask me

[Desire Android Development] scar45:
Hello all,

A few posts back I was running into trouble getting unrevoked 3.1 to work in Windows 7 x64, however I have RESOLVED MY PROBLEM! Now that I am more familiar with this process, I believe that my original issue was due to my phone taking too long to boot up, and when unrevoked was "Waiting for reboot.", it initialized and my phone was not ready yet, then it instantly said "Done." but I couldn't access ClockworkMod from the HBOOT "Recover" option.

Anyways, to fix it, I simply disconnected my phone when unrevoked said "Waiting for reboot", let my phone boot fully, then plugged it back in. After doing so, everything worked fine and I was able to do a NANDROID backup using ClockworkMod. I can also now access ClockworkMod anytime by using the HBOOT "Recover" option.

I can also confirm that HTC Sync should be uninstalled, leaving the HTC Driver Installer, then have the phone enter Disk Drive mode and uncheck "Ask me everytime". Hope that helps for others that have the same problem as I did.

I'm a happy camper!
[Desire Android Development] ranchu:
Ok ... my phone is now flashed into cooked ROM.

This apps is nice for Android Noob like me :D

Some questions

1) how Do i check the radio ver for my set

2) How do I invoke FAST LOAD mode w/o having to plug in USB and run the unrEVOked apps??
[Desire Android Development] enuazeal:
which rom and radio did you flash? is everything works ok?

did you just put .zip files on root of sd card and go through ClockworkMod?
[Desire Android Development] gazebee:
Any word on how to unroot from this? Also, does being rooted affect OTA updates?
[Desire Android Development] cruzzmz:
I have finally flashed a radio on to of my official 2.1 rom. Do make sure that you only flash the radio with the ending 16_2 since the other radio is for froyo rom only.

[Desire Android Development] galaw007:
Worked beautifully! Now on froyo official-open desire. Thanks heaps.
[Desire Android Development] bulier:
Yes, we can do this, but this is something wrong. Should it work when you choose one and then start processing? Or add another option, like root this phone use the build in image?
[Desire Android Development] bulier:
Well, the 64bit Win7 doesn't work for me. It does works in Windows XP 32bit.

Got ClockworkMod running but NO ROOT?

is that possible?

I just got the unrevoked 3.1 with the fixed window issue to run till it said "Done" it rebooted and my phone was at homescreen again.

so far so good, then I tryed several apps demanding "root" but all of them faild executing anything.

I got into Hboot again and selected recovery now the green on black menu with ClockworkMod appears and I can do some "stuff"

can someone point me to the next action to finaly get "root"?

thx,

[Desire Android Development] patp:
For those that have problems getting the device recognised in Ubuntu, here's what worked for me.

Open a terminal window and cd to the folder where the unrevoked reflash binary is held.

Enable USB debugging on phone (Settings, Applications, Development)

Connect Phone to PC USB

Select HTC Sync and untick Ask Me

In a terminal window type

lsusb

One of the lines of output should have something like this:

Bus 002 Device 018: ID [B]0bb4:0c87[/B] High Tech Computer Corp.

Look at the 0bb4:0c87 bit. They might be different for you, in which case substitute your values in the next bit.

Unplug the phone.

in your terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

This will open a text editor. Into it put the following:

'SUBSYSTEM=="usb",SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4",ATTRS{idProduct}=="0c87",MODE="0666"

(substitute your own values for 0bb4 and 0c87 if they are different)

in the terminal:

sudo service udev reload

replug the phone, select HTC Sync again.

in terminal

sudo ./reflash

Let it do all its work until it finishes, leaving you on your lovely new recovery screen.

Hello.

My englisch is not very good, but i need help.

I rooted my desire with unrevoked3. i flashed defrost 2.1, there is ap2sd included...

i want to format and partition my sd-card with rom manager. the program restarted the desire, but then there is an error. there is in the background a triangle with an exclamation mark. when i press power, i see the clockwork menu with this error:

e: failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (invalid argument)

e: signature verification faild

i rooted my desire only for ap2sd. but it don't functioning....

can anyone help me?
[Desire Android Development] doggydog2:
even with this it was 3 hours for me. how do i recognize it is rooted? i only see i was able to update the radio.
[Desire Android Development] MasDroid:
If you were successfully able to update your radio version then you are definately rooted, as you cannot update it without root.

Just to give you peace of mind, look in your android app drawer (in All Programs) for an icon called "Superuser Permission" as this only appears when you are rooted as it grants apps SU access to /system.
[Desire Android Development] s.zamani:
using superuser helps using apps but not with ADB Push

I flashed superuser and now I can use apps like screenMe and stuff but not a single adb command is working from the cmd

i installed android commander which is now running on my windows vista and also shows me acces but trying to push any file to system it responds "you need root access for this operation"

i still don't have "real root" access!?

thx.

s.
[Desire Android Development] thedt:
Yes you do have "real" root, try

Adb shell

Su

Just remember you still can't write to the partitions (like system) unless you're in recovery, that's a different thing from having root

That's OK I thought, I still need to be in Recovery to write to /system so I downloaded a hosts update zip and boot recovery. But when I try to apply it, I get the error "can't mount system" and the process fails.

What have I done wrong?

Many thanks, tried searching for this but nothing doing.

[Desire Android Development] flyer3:
Have you tried installing HTC Sync then uninstalling it but leaving the driver files. Thats what did the trick for me.

Also make sure you have USB Debugging enabled. Settings>Applications>Development Tick USB debugging.
[Desire Android Development] gosa:
First of all I have to say that I haven't tried this Unrevoked myself yet, and I might not do it either depending on how this latest rumor about Froyo for the Desire plays out - if we get the official update soon I might just prefer to wait until I have Froyo before doing any kind of experimenting...

With that out of my system I have to ask all of you who struggle with making the windows version work (install/uninstall drivers and so on ) what it is that scare you guys so much when it comes to trying the linux version instead?

Having read this thread and other info it seems like the linux version comes "all inclusive" and is the most "painless" way to do it...

I mean - you guys are brave enough to go through stuff that might possibly mess up your phone completely anyway, so what is it that stops you Windows usersfrom just getting a live linux cd and trying it the "easy way"?

- No disrespect intended. I'm just a bit curious, that's all...
