Took a whole day, but i finally rooted using this guide. Please note the following:

- You can skip the whole installation process by tapping 13 times on the lower right corner. Way faster than the original way

- Unrevoked did fail for me under windows. Try do deinstall HTC Sync and try again. If it doesnt work, boot ubuntu livecd and run unrevoked again. With ubuntu, rooting worked fine for me

- Error 171 while flashing the rom curses from missing update.zip in the sdcard root. Please be sure you copied it over and safely removed the sdcard from your desktop.

- Only the modded ClockworkMod currently works with an SLCD Desire. Thats a pity because i like Amon RA Recovery much more because of the sd partition and USB-HDD capabilities. You can push "sdparted", "parted" and "ext2fs" files via adb from the /sbin dir of AmonRA recovery to /sbin while in ClockworkMod and run "adb shell sdparted" to format your SDCard from Clockwork. This is very comfortable.

Hi, I'm tired after step .11 and htv wizard I've tried

But it did not work properly what can I do with a black screen

I want to restore everything back to the original and try to do it with another way !!
[Desire Android Development] runboy:
Is this the only way to root an OTA 0.92 with SLCD?
[Desire Android Development] koolherc:
Success

Just to say thanks for the How-To. All done and running OpenDesire 3.4.0.

[Desire Android Development] furuly:
I am having some trouble.

It's late and I've googled like never before, downloaded at least 10 different rom's but no luck.

All the time I get error 140, that the rom is wrong.

Any luck with this? Everything else has gone perfect. I was on step 33-36. Please help :)
[Desire Android Development] reddi:
Be sure to copy the update.zip to your sdcard and also try to deinstall HTC Sync. To be safe, start over the whole process again, it will work.
[Desire Android Development] furuly:
I tried again, no luck.

But I found whats wrong. At step 26/27. The unrevoked program says that it's pushing the recovery image.

I've tried several times, waiting a few minutes, waiting 20 minutes. Unrevoked doesn't change. I also tried moving on, into step 28 with no luck.

update.zip is on the sdcard
[Desire Android Development] Max-via:
Where Are You Guys ??
[Desire Android Development] furuly:
I am not sure what happend... But it seems to be allright now, finished the steps.

Now for a question, the froyo update. It starts to load then I get a triangel with an exclamation mark. Will this root make the phone unable to update to froyo? :/
[Desire Android Development] timmy1980:
This is the same issue that I have, I seem to get this far and then (in windows) unrevoked says waiting 5 seconds because windows sucks, (in Linux) waiting for hboot or something similar I think. My phone has rebooted a couple of times but then just sits at this point. I then have to power off/pull the battery, boot it into fastboot and run the official froyo RUU and then I am all good again... but not rooted of course.

The very first time I tried to root my desire when I got it and it was on 0.83 I think I may have accidentally ran unrevoked without the custom SLCD recovery but managed to get back to a working phone. Could this have screwed my recovery partition in some way!?!? After that I actually managed to boot into clockwork recovery twice, once to install a custom ROM but things where not running well so I had to reflash, the only one I was able to flash was the official froyo RUU which put me where I am now with 0.92 and froyo. I can get into recovery now but of course it is not a custom one.

When I boot into standard recovery it says the following before the menu:

E:Cant open /cache/recovery/command

Is this normal?

Sorry for the REALLY long post! Any input would be great, I wasn't so bothered at first that I could not root but now I really would like to use A2SD+!!

Thanks all.
[Desire Android Development] debully:
a video of where the screen presses to enable usb debugging would be helpful. I've done one myself but that was from an ota upgraded froyo. is it the same? also, i have uninstalled htc sync, is that correct?

EDIT: reinstalled htc sync. note - phone emits a nice welcoming bleep when debugging is correctly turned on.

EDIT2: DANCING LIKE A FRICKEN LUNATIC. Thanks
[Desire Android Development] thunderbirds:
trying this now, screen went blank

waiting for 20 minutes, finger crossed hopefully will get it working
[Desire Android Development] thunderbirds:
works perfect

thanks for the guide
[Desire Android Development] chris2busy:
Is there any android utility like the "MyMobiler" for winmo ?

This process would be a bafrillion times easier if you could see and control the phone from pc..
[Desire Android Development] chris2busy:
Also, can i flash a radio without having rooted? (since i cannot manage it as it seems :( )
[Desire Android Development] xfile087:
Hey guys, bit of a n00b here. I had a Desire when they first came out but got rid and have now got one of the new ones again. Will this downgrade the hboot version? I got my Desire off ebay so was already upgraded to Froyo OTA unfortunately.
[Desire Android Development] rekekjeks:
I'm wondering the same as the gentleman (or girl) above me.

Will this process root my Desire with OTA Froyo and bootloader 0.92?

And will I be able to install custom ROMs?

And another thing, in step 11 it says 'joystick'. Desire don't have a joystick... sooo.

Sorry about this, but I need to be 110% sure =P

Don't want to screw up my phone.
[Desire Android Development] IxXxI:
the desire has an optical joystick. it is the button in the middle of the botton:)
[Desire Android Development] rekekjeks:
Yes, but... how can I be sure that I scroll, say, 50 times with that? =P

Also, it might be worth mentioning that my Desire have an AMOLED screen.
[Desire Android Development] chris2busy:
then you do not need to follow this procedure..this is only for desire with s-lcd touch-screen sir.
[Desire Android Development] rekekjeks:
Ok. Dang it! I want my phone rooted again =P

I don't know why, but I just HAD to update to OTA... and I regret it.
[Desire Android Development] chris2busy:
If you are SURE (110%) that you have an amoled display you can use this guide to revert back to 2.1 eclair and root..

http://www.android-tutorials.org/dev/?page_id=78

now back on topic plz :P
[Desire Android Development] chris2busy:
If i run the official SLCD RUU for eclair 2.1 then will the HBOOT downgrade too? so i can use this method instead?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748618
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
If you could simply install a regular 2.1 RUU then this thread wouldn't exist.
[Desire Android Development] obscuredReality:
I can't seem to get into Debugging mode...would anyone happen to have screenshots I can referece?

Thanks

EDIT: Went to a store that had a live model. Here are the steps I ended up with

1. Turn on phone

2. Swipe down to unlock screen

3. Click Menu

4. Press the bottom right corner of screen to get Settings

5. Swipe up to scroll down all the way

6. Click on the screen close to the bottom of the Volume Up Button

7. Scroll down right to the bottom and click the optical button

8. Scroll down and all the way up

9. Click the optical button twice and then you should be in debugging mode.

All the steps here were provided by others here but thought i'd put the steps that I had to take to get it working!

CHEERS!
[Desire Android Development] chris2busy:
You sir, just put a pure image in words..Bravos..

the original post instructions , although 100% working may be, looked confusing and much like playstation cheat entrys ( up,down,left,left ,triangle xD )

of all the forums i have ever subscribed, this one is by far the most brilliant..kudos
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
Big Thank You

Big thank you to all... after reading and reading.. trying and trying, finally managed to root again my desire after the big mistake updating to Froyo Hboot 0.92.

Thanks again...:)
[Desire Android Development] Gumica:
I am new to Android and a have a question. I have HTC Desire OTA Froyo with 0.92 HBOOT. Is this tutorial for this version of HBOOT?

Also another question would be, if I get something wrong during the process when my screen is down, can it be repaired and how?

Thank you for the answers in advance!
[Desire Android Development] thunderbirds:
Gumica i was in a same boat as you and i managed to downgrade/root my 0.92 yesterday, i would suggest you with the following step to make it easier, the hardest part i felt is to enable USB debugging, other than that the 1st step where to scroll down X50 u can test it while u have the screen, just run setup and u can test that process, about USB debugging what i did is :

- i went to menu>settings>scrool all the way down then i place a sticker where the application was, thats how i manage to access the application easily and with few scroll down to Development option and 2 clicks on usb debugging enabled my option

Give a try, if u follow the exact steps it works
[Desire Android Development] Jumpkid:
Busy for some hours with it now.

I did the OTA Froyo update and now I wanted to root my Desire with s-lcd screen.

Now I am stuck at step 18 (daemon starts successfully)

after I type in the last line I get this error:

"rm failed for /sdcard/PB99IMG.zip, No such file or directory"

It should be there, since that is the update I blanked my s-lcd with. :confused:

New to Android, plus it's 4:32 AM and I am busy with this since 2:00 AM. So excuse me if this is a noob question :o

Thank you for the guide.. Hope to be doing my victory dance in a few hours too..

* Update * I see, I am not fully functioning anymore since I'm up all night.. "rm" must be remove and so it is gone.. On to the next step.. Sigh :o
[Desire Android Development] thunderbirds:
well just put in your PC and remove the PB99IMG.zip manualy
[Desire Android Development] thunderbirds:
when u try to unrevoke now is it successful ? if it is then your HBOOT is downgraded, after run unrevoked u just need to run the update.zip which is pretty simple then run the RUU.. u will get back ur screen
[Desire Android Development] Jumpkid:
I wish, I am at step 19 now.. I just found out "rm" means remove and it was already gone.. I need to focus.. Thank you for your reply!

* Update * Need the right Android USB Drivers and add them two times, because after a flash the device is recognized differently by the device manager..
[Desire Android Development] thunderbirds:
enable USB debugging and use the following driver
[Desire Android Development] Jumpkid:
Thank you again for your help.

* Update * Still stuck at the same screen. I turn on the Desire and I wait for a minute.. Then I connect my USB cable and I hear the sound on the Desire (USB Debugging is on).

Windows (7 64bit) doesn't find the right drivers.. Even trying it manually with the files in your post doesn't work.. unrevoked posts: "Waiting for bootloader; make sure driver is installed!"..

* Update (2) * Step by step: I uninstall the HTC Sync & Driver software. I reinstall the HTC Sync & Driver software. I start unrevoked and load the recovery clockwork for bravo -

I connect my phone and I hear the sound played by the Desire.. I see Windows recognizes my phone.. Unrevoked starts doing it's thing until "Waiting for bootloader" post and then Windows loses my connection..

An attempt from Windows to reinstall the driver/connection itself results in a failure every time now.. Which I think causes the message in unrevoked..

* Update (3) * After pushing the image to the device, in stead of the "ADB" drivers I installed the first time, I now have to install drivers for Android 1.0.. That's why you need to install the drivers again..

I managed to install them (BOTH, manually) with this link adb_driver_htc.zip and finally, unrevoked could do it's thing.. :)
[Desire Android Development] Cew27:
no screen!

i tried this today, however i cant seem to get it into debugging with my desire, and now when i plug the phone in it isn't recognised, anyway to fix this?

thanks
[Desire Android Development] IxXxI:
@Jumpkid

try it on a computer with Windows 7 (32 bit) or Windows XP.

The damned 64 bit systems make only problems ....
[Desire Android Development] Jumpkid:
I managed to do it on the 64bit system.. See my 3rd update in my last post.

The next (final I wish) problem I have, is that I can't update to the rom posted in step 33. All works fine, I can press "update", I can confirm that I want to flash from 2.09.405.8 (Update: I think that if this is the cause, you have to start from step one again..) to 1.21.405.2.. I see the update will take about 10min and I click next..

Busy sending..... "ERROR [140] WRONG BOOTLOADER VERSION"

* Update (2) * Will try to update using RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe

That's probably without S-LCD support (I'm guessing).. But it's the only option I can think of at this point..

* Gives the same error *
[Desire Android Development] Jumpkid:
Did you try what I posted in *update(3)* of my post before yours?
[Desire Android Development] gcgonster:
Error 140

Stuck in the same problem as you ^^^

Any one have an idea what we can do?
[Desire Android Development] Jumpkid:
Tried to start from step one again and now the only response I get from the phone is the "device connected" sound in Windows, when I connect the cable and I press vol-down + power button..

Update program gives a Error 170: USB Connection Failure..

* Update * Starting from step 1 again with my fingers crossed.
[Desire Android Development] gcgonster:
Your nearly there lol... I'm gonna keep trying at it. :D Wish me luck
[Desire Android Development] Jumpkid:
Haha, I wish you the best of luck.. Don't panic (like me) when you have errors..

The hard thing is when you don't get response from the device (visual/sound/vibration)..

I started from step one again and finally, five minutes ago, I got visual again and the device is downgraded!

I got my screen back.. And even better: the possibility to root my Desire (final steps).

Doing my dance now..
[Desire Android Development] Jumpkid:
Yes. I managed to get this thing working starting from step 1 again..

If any questions, read my posts or ask :)

Good luck!
[Desire Android Development] streetdaddy:
im getting a replacement Desire soon (hopefully), probably with SLCD and HBOOT 0.92.

After I have rooted it with this method, will I still have no screen in recovery? For example, when flashing a custom ROM?

I'm thinking I can use ROM Manager app anyway, but I can't remember if it automatically reboots after flashing...

Thanks in advance for any answers!
[Desire Android Development] Jumpkid:
When you finished flashing with this method. You will have a fully functioning Desire.. There is just "no screen" when flashing/on the "Amoled" rom..

As soon you get to the latest steps and flash trough your PC, you will have a functioning screen everywhere..
[Desire Android Development] fieryriver:
I did all the steps and debugged and everything but unrevoked is not working. first it got stuck at waiting for bootloader and the phone must have went into some recovery mode or something as the keypad lights stopped. I pressed the power button and now Unrevoked is saying: Waiting for HBOOT to be ready...

It's just stuck like that and nothing is happening...

I'd be grateful for any help given thanks

Edit: Ok everything is working fine now just had to download unrevoked modified drivers
[Desire Android Development] volden:
Phone not recognized?

Hi,

I seriously need help getting in debugging mode. I have tried both methods 100 times now, each time i was sure i did it right. But i get no sound when i plug in the cable, also revoked does not find the phone. I have even tried comparing my mates htc sense to push the screen trying to get there with no success. Can it have something to do with that i used launcherpro when all this happened? Any advice/suggestions?? I am starting to get a little frustrated : (

EDIT: I actually got it working now.. load of my mind. On with the prosess
[Desire Android Development] phi11y:
I seem to be having trouble connecting to shipped-roms.com, anyone got a mirror for the 1.21.402.5 SLCD ROM (RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe)? I'm so close to having my screen back, but I'm stuck here, and no amount of Googling is helping :(
[Desire Android Development] chwads2k8:
great work did this in one hour... used the method in the SLCD brick fix thread worked first time so u might wanna try that way to get into debug mode

HOW TO ENABLE USB DEBUGGING

This is by far the hardest part since scrolling can happen at different speeds and isn't methodical - if you've got Android 2.2 (Froyo) with no screen:

Try this:

1. Press power button to load up phone. Wait.

2. Press power button a few times allowing the buttons to remain lighted up

3. Starting halfway down the screen drag your finger down the middle to unlock it.

4. Press 'back' button a few times, 5 for good measure. This makes sure you're at the home screen and not in the menu or Expose view.

5. Press 'menu' button.

6. Press in the bottom right of the screen (menu is divided into 3, with finger sized buttons)

7. You're now in the 'settings screen' at the top. Flick your finger up the screen 3 or 4 times to make sure you've scrolled right to the bottom of the 'settings' screen.

8. Turn your phone to the side and LOOK at the volume button on the side of the phone, The invisible menu ('Applications') you want to press lines up with the the middle of this button and the '+' engraving. With this in mind...

9. Press the screen lined up with the previous step.

10. Drag the Optical Scroller down a couple of times to make sure you're at the bottom option 'Development'. LEAVE YOUR FINGER ON THE SCROLLER after your last scroll and...

11. PRESS the scroller button 3 times in even succession without lifting your finger. This selects 'Development', selects 'USB Debugging' and 'Allow USB Debugging'

12. wait a moment, and then you should hear a chime.

got this fromt hat thread

Uploading it to megaupload for you.. When I get the link I'll paste it here..

Here you go (click me).. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Ace3:
Went flawlessly! At first I didn't quite understand what was done here, but I see it's essentially just downgrading HBOOT to 0.83, which I was looking for as I understood 0.83 didn't have any problems; I didn't understand there was no post describing this process. You should mention it in your OP, as I would've tried this process a lot sooner then :)

Thanks for the hard work; I don't even want to know how much time you spent figuring this out! As a newb to Android I now understand what the progress is, something I had a hard time figuring out (but experience is everything right :))

Keep up the good work!

Guys i need some help..i finaly managed to enable the debugging and moved on..unr3voken run successfully but is now still (after 25 minutes) saying

[Desire Android Development] Ace3:
Yeah you can also flash the latest ClockWorkMOD through ROM Manager. Just make sure your custom ROMs support SLCD!

I made the mistake of applying the OTA 2.2 as soon as getting my Desire (big mistake!) but going through these instructions (which seemed SCARY at first) I was able to get my Desire rooted with Froyo.
