[Desire Android Development] kinkade:
thats a fair question, the answer in my case is that i just removed the linux partition from my laptop as its pretty old and was struggling and i dont have a burner to create a live cd and i cant be arsed to use wubi, basically i'm being lazy, i wasnt going to root my desire yet but unrevoked looked so simple i thought i'd give it a go as i would really like apps2sd ( always running out of space) but if i have to go ahead and reintill xubuntu its kinda not worth the hassle.

joy, installed and uninstalled htc sync but left the drivers, unisntalled everything else that might be fooling around with autoplay etc

i've followed all the giudes to the letter, and no
[Desire Android Development] flyer3:
Have you tried running it in Admin mode if your using Win 7/Vista. Also I heard there were problems with X64 bit so you might want to switch to another PC if you have a x64 OS.

Well my main system was X64 and I knew some people had trouble with X64 so I didnt want to go through any possible hassle with it. Plus the DVD drive in it was busted:(. I have another computer but it's a Nettop and dosent have a DVD drive in it and I wasn't bothered to make a usb bootable version of Linux. Anyway it all turned out fine in the end:).
[Desire Android Development] gosa:
Kincade, flyer3:

Fair enough... was merely curious.

And for the record - I'm very much a windows user myself (Mostly running x64 version of Win 7) but I've been known to inker a bit with Crunchbang Linux, and if it came to actually trying this method I'd probably go for the Linux way of it.

All in all I'm glad that the windows version do seem to help most of the people trying it.
[Desire Android Development] Undesirable:
I followed the instructions and I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64, and it worked fine for me except for one thing... half the time when I reset my phone and attempt to boot into clockwork recovery, the HTC logo is displayed and nothing happens. Pulling the battery and trying again usually works, but it is worrying.
[Desire Android Development] flyer3:
Well I'm glad it worked out for you in the end.
[Desire Android Development] Rew64:
Same here, anyone managed it yet?
[Desire Android Development] djoni1980:
you should reflash it again or flash amonra recovery

Have you partitioned your sd card?
[Desire Android Development] Rew64:
Yes but I have rooted my stock ROM so I need the apps2SD file or program to put on the SD card so I can install it.
[Desire Android Development] NightSidew1nd3r:
So using this method can you flash cyanogen mod?
[Desire Android Development] kinkade:
i think you can get it from nimbu.com though the method looks slightly different

http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/

basically, you shouldnt now need the gold card as it can all be done on the handset, HOWEVER PLEASE CHECK THIS AS I AM SPECULATING I DONT WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A BRICKED PHONE.

sorry for the caps, just trying to be careful
[Desire Android Development] kinkade:
just fwiw i havent managed to get this technique to work for me.

i just want the stock rom but with apps2sd and it seems impossible
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Hi everyone!

Rooting worked fine (Titanium Backup, for instance, is running well), but I'm having trouble partitioning the SD card for Apps2SD from the Recovery that Unrevoked3 installed - isn't there supposed to be an option for partitioning?

When I try to partition from ROM Manager, it asks me to install ClockWork Recovery... but I thought that was what Unrevoked3 installed already :confused:

I'm hesitant to flash a ROM with Apps2SD support before I've partitioned the SD card - or is that not a problem?
[Desire Android Development] kinkade:
if i were you i'd run unrevoked again and install amon ra its so much easier to use if you are a bit new to these things.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Hmmm, I just took the plunge and tried to partition with ROM Manager... looks like it's working ("Partitioning SD Card...").

Hope I didn't break anything :p :)
[Desire Android Development] Beppemi:
I tried it and it work soo good!! Clockworkmod recovery installed, withoun goldcard....Really good and simple... thanks soo much

how can i unroot?

[Desire Android Development] kmetek:
guys what is rom manager, and where to find it?
[Desire Android Development] Biffy:
I believe Rom manager can be found in the app market.

Now my question is that now I have installed the official froyo, what hope of rooting do I have? Will unrevoked be updated in the future to work with this too?
[Desire Android Development] yeahtyeaht:
i hope they updating

Should unrevoke method work with below configuration:

BootLoader 0.80

Firmware 1.21.update1

Build Number 1.24.69.2 CL182666

Software Number 1.24.69.2

???

I tried it and recovery image is properly installed on my HTC Desire, but I still don't have root access (e.g. Titanium Backup doesn't work). I also tried Pauls' method described in modaco.com and it fails with version check error :/ I guess reason behind that is my 1.24.X.X version. Anyone can help? I have brand new device and I'm fighting with rooting it since 3 days ...

[Desire Android Development] badgerboy1977:
First post and first time rooter.

Starting build:

T mobile branded Desire

0.80 Bootloader

Firmware 1.21.update1

The below method tells you how to get Titanium working aswell as it says your not rooted to start with but a few quick steps fix that.

Used Unrevoked to root my desire earlier, gotta say as a noob on here it was sooo easy and quick I cant believe I didnt do it earlier.

Found a good guide but cant post URL as I'm not allowed yet but just google "nathan 2.2 unrevoked" and its the first result.

Flashed with 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20 radio

and Official_FroYo_Market_fixed Rom.

Works perfectly might try a few other Roms out now just to see what the fuss is about.

Any other noobs out there use unrevoked and get your roms from here, easiest thing in the world :D

so, you had better done pointing us to the right direction, or simply replied... i USED search, as always...

anyway, as my desire is just returned me from htc (mobo replaced as i had the boot-loop issue, due to overheating), i was going to root it ASAP with unrevoked, but just seen that twit so i'm now waiting... or is there an "upgrade path" for rooting, so we can reapply unrevoked with the new s-off stuff on an ALREADY unrevoked desire? or have we to unroot and reroot with the new unrevoked, when available? thanks in advance

Hi guys. I'm newbie at this, thats why i need help. tried unrEVOked3 and it doesnt work. as in instructions, I instaled unrEVOked drivers, then connected my HTC Desire via USB by HTC Sync,then started flash.exe.

unrEVOked3 restarted my phone in HBOOT USB PLUG mode, then restarted it again with normally android interface. at this point unrEVOked3 said that it had lost "connection to phone...try again". :(

tried on Win7 and Win XP.

What should i do?

Help please with it.

[Desire Android Development] Benderzoid:
No root?

Hi Guys, next try, same question here again, cause nobody answers me here ;) -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788044&page=8

My Desire is already "manually" rooted, but i have the feeling, that the root was not going right (i can't install/flash any Recovery, after restart all will be erased, can only go over ROM Manager into Clockwork Recovery. If i startet Recovery over HBOOT (by pressing Volume down and Power at same time), i get the red exclamation mark and have to restart by turning battery out). I also have a Custom ROM (Aurax TSense 7.8.1) installed.

So i startet to root again - now with Unrevoked 3.21 - and it stucks at "Waiting for root" for four times, then at fivth try - "Can't get root, this happens sometimes, please restart and try again."

Anyone have an idea what is wrong with my phone? HBoot Version is 0.80, more information in my signature.

Thanks for help!

[Desire Android Development] jacketyjoe:
No, you need to do it separately unfortunately :(

Sometimes when i go into clockwork it comes up with that exclamation mark, I press the power button and it shows the usual clockwork screen. If that isn't it, flash an official WWU (i think thats what it is, anyways, its an official update and it'll wipe any root that you may have) and try again.

I have a HTC Aria and when doing the unrevoked root it was stuck on waiting for device, so I tried the Super One Click method and it was still stuck on waiting for device. But then it said how to fix it with PDAnet, so PDAnet installed all the ADB drivers for me, but the Super One Click method wouldn't install superuser app on my Aria so I tried unrevoked with the new drivers and it worked like a champ.
[Desire Android Development] Kingdombuilder:
Did not get a package kit as others has said. When i went to the site I picked my device and went through the motions... It said need the driver installed and i would imagine that is the Hboot but I do not see where to get it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Desire Android Development] Kingdombuilder:
I'm sure I did it all wrong so don't take my word for it, but after trying Unrevoked 3, here's what I found.

1. The HBOOT drivers in the instructions online were not recognized after installing for Windows. Not sure if that's because it was for the Desire.

2. Downloaded drivers specifically for the HTC Inspire 4G ATT...Unrevoked recognized the drivers were installed, but got a message "Device "ace" is not supported at this time."

Please let me know if you're successful in cracking this...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Ace is the desire HD is it not? What phone have you got specifically? Unrevoked does not support all devices (certainly no HD). This thread is for standard desire only..

Used this tool today, on my 2nd Desire.

After doing everything manually the first time around this tool was ridiculously easy to use...
[Desire Android Development] keithdsny:
just some 2 cents from someone that is such a noob, that I am lucky to be able to turn on this thing, ( evo 4g ) any how, this was soo easy using the Unrevoked method. (NEWEST version 3.22 or something) I just went to control pannel, add/remove programs, uninstalled HTCsync, then went to the unrevoked website and installed unrevoked for windows, ( have XP sp3 ) and just waited for it to tell me to plug in the phone. Without starting the phone in any special screen, boom, I plugged it in, Let it do its thing, letting the phone reboot 3 or 4 times on its own, while still plugged into my net book, and boom! I was rooted. The biggest problem I had was what to do when it was done. I guess you would call it a boot loader screen on the evo.. I took a chance and just clicked reboot. and boom!!! ROOTED EVO!!! I then downloaded Titanium backup from market and installed it, because i kept reading everywhere its best to do. Let that do its thing, then I installed WIFI tether. And here I am sitting in my car typing this out! Wirelessly I might add. THANKS ALL EXPERTS for their guidence!

PS: If anyone can direct me on what to do next that would be greatly apreciated!!:p

Hello

I was running a rooted phone so far. But after a hardware issue (sdcard module gone kaput) and some tried of my own, I had bricked my phone. I have gotten a local service center to fix it. Now I have my phone in stock condition. I want to again root the phone. My Hboot version is 0.93. The query I had was regarding the current state of recovery in my phone. When i go to recovery (through Power+Vol Down), i can see a read triangle. But the phone is working perfectly well in other regards. Shall I go ahead with rooting using UneEVOked? Or is there something else I need to do?
[Desire Android Development] venkhatesh:
Hi,

since your phone is not rooted anymore you are seeing the Red triangle in the recovery mode. You can go ahead and root it with UnrEVOked method and it should work. I have done this many times and it worked for me.

Nothing special!

I'v just downloaded the pack for windows. In the pack there is a hboot driver.html file. Just open it, and on the top of the page there is a link for a driver. Download it.

After that turn off your phone, than turn it back on with holding vol down+power. Connect your phone to the pc and when it asks for the driver you have to install the downloaded driver.

After that you only have to turn on your phone normaly and connect to pc (make sure usb debugging is enabled on the phone in the settings under development menu).

Start the exe file and wait a minute. Thats all.

I'v done it on 1.21.405.2 sw on inbranded desire...
