What ROM are you using? I know Alpharev works with Sense ROMs only. Unrevoked uses Alpherev AFAIK.
[Desire Android Development] S_Kool:
can somebody confirm that this RUU: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed

have hboot 0.93.xxxx

last night i try to make s-off, but it get stuck on step 3... i think its because i'm runnin now Sandvold ICS with amarulzz a2sd script so i wanna do it all over from the beging
[Desire Android Development] asp2010:
AFAIK, all FroYo RUUs come with 0.93, but I might be wrong.

If you want to do S-OFF, just flash a rooted stock ROM first. No need to RUU then root. This is how I did and had no problem at all.
[Desire Android Development] larsn84:
Damn

Used this tool almost two years ago, and thought it was brilliant (it was just evolved)

Now I need to root a friends phone, and it doesnt work anymore :/

The phone is on

PVT4 S-ON
HBOOT 0.93.0001
Android 2.2.2

I just did a factory reset, becasue I know this has helped before...

Do I really need to make a goldcard and downgrade these days? It's kinda old skool, but did it many times before, but it is just so time consuming.

The error is:

Error: Could not get root. Is your firmware too new?

Also, there is no SIM in the phone, but can't see how that makes a difference. Its connected to Wifi though
[Desire Android Development] jmitr:
Use Revolutionary for root instead, it's a newer tool that works with newer hboots.
[Desire Android Development] neXus PRIME:
+1, revolutionary.io or something like that....
[Desire Android Development] Dragon_son:
the volume - of my phone is erro, it can't use, i can't up rom, please help me
[Desire Android Development] marcopolo:
Help needed

I tried Revolutionary's method but it didn't workout.

I did exactly the same but when I put the unique ID, it said the following and stayed stuck on the same forever.

Can you help me understand if I am missing something? My bootloader shows the following information:
[Desire Android Development] asp2010:
I might not get the point, but it seems you already have S-OFF. What do you need this tool for?
[Desire Android Development] marcopolo:
I have S-OFF however I am not able flash Recovery neither can flash SU.

Whenever I do this, fastboot returns with an error in which it talks about some RANGE thingy.

When I try ROM flasher (XDA) and whenever I try to flash, that tool returns with an error saying "ENG Bootloader missing.

Can you help?
[Desire Android Development] asp2010:
I'm not sure what to say, maybe try flashing an RUU and starting all over again. I've never used revolutionary myself, I had S-OFF from alpharev, so you should try posting in the appropriate thread.
[Desire Android Development] marcopolo:
Never mind, I have been reading a lot of material for last 4 days and now very tired. I give up :( :'(

I will sell this phone up and will buy some other some latest one. Thanks a ton for your help :Cowboy:

[Desire Android Development] InCain:
I've gotten the same error as Proadi96, Error failed to get root.Is your firmware too new?

Hope that anyone knows how to fix this..
[Desire Android Development] dvsk69:
Use Revolutionary

[Desire Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
Same as the reply above. Use revolutionary.
[Desire Android Development] jejemilo:
My phone is not being recognized using unrevoked. To note: during installation of hboot drivers, it was installed under SAMSUNG Android Phone instead of Android Phone only. Would appreciate help. Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] dvsk69:
Use Revolutionary instead.
[Desire Android Development] Chad_Petree:
With this tool you get s off and then root? or is it only for rooting? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] asp2010:
Root only. Take a look at the post above yours for a good suggestion.

Can anyone help. My S3 just completely died so I have to use the Desire again for a while. Now when I try to use revolutionary their website hasn't been updated in ages and all download links are dead, same with unrevoked and alpharev. Does anyone have download links to these?

I have android 2.2.2 Bravo pvt3 hboot 0.93 Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
[Desire Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
http://revolutionary.io

Works for me...
[Desire Android Development] Narekrocks:
The download links for the drivers were dead, and when I found them somewhere else it wouldn't install on Windows 8. I just gave up and downloaded Linux and finally it worked!
[Desire Android Development] pilletta:
I followed the guide but when the phone reboots the screen androids skateboarding procedure unrevoked does not go forward and I get the little window that dspositivo not installed and unrevoked does not send out the procedure to root I installed the drivers there
[Desire Android Development] FaserF:
Website down. Also Unrevoked is not compatible with windows 10. Seems that I will never root my old HTC Desire Bravo :( No way still possible... :(

Will this work on an HTC Desire 625 from cricket?
[Desire Android Development] asp2010:
No, this only works for the original HTC Desire (bravo).

Thanks for the update
[Desire Android Development] ipfreelytech:
This does not seem to work on the CDMA Desire being sold by my carrier. Searching around it seems this may be common for all ACG Desires.

Error is that radio version: 2.05.10.08.11 is not supported.

Exactly what does the Radio have to do with installing a recovery partition? On the CDMA Hero the radio version never seemed to matter for anything.
[Desire Android Development] theguyofdoom:
Stuck

unrevoked3.21 can't seem to get past the "Running root..." phase of the recovery installation. :(

also, it only uploads the recovery image if I first run 3.14, kill that version after uploading recovery, and then execute 3.21 :confused:

I also did this: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=768256, so I'm on the version installed by the downgrader

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: oh, and I'm on Win7x64. Haven't tried on linux yet, only box currently available has an ARM processor and thus won't run ./reflash. I tried.

EDIT2: Also tried a different Recovery image: koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.img. Won't upload with 3.21 or 3.14

EDIT3: Got to the second reboot :P

EDIT4: "I'm making a not here: HUGE SUCCESS" ROFL

Done. What did it in the end? Dunno. Did it with the mentioned clockwork version.

I have got a little problem.... I used rooted Desire with Defrost Rom.

I would like to use OD ROM but if I install my desire don't boot. So I depend I isntall Original ROM 2.1(not rooted)... And than I try root with Unrevoked my phone lost the recovery srceen.... I didn't use..My phone didn't load this menu... I try this adb and the problem same... Anybody help? Why don't working???

Thank your help...and sorry my englihs :)
[Desire Android Development] newstar:
well guys i have still some confusion pls solve it

Unrevoked only give root with custom recovery ? because i need only root and i am not interested in custom recovery !!!!

regards
[Desire Android Development] fredezzz:
That's actually the same for me!

I also didn't understand exactly what is this custom recovery...

Can someone give us some details?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] justinkb:
So, get a hold of the recovery image of your ota rom and specify that as the custom rom. That should work I would imagine...
[Desire Android Development] Odd_Sam:
Because I feel like I should stop you guys who hate the custom recovery. The purpose of the custom recovery is to help you recover your phone from a state you caused by having root access. like installing a custom rom or deleting the wrong apk from the internal nand. It's a good thing to have and you don't notice it. It doesn't even load unless you ask it to. (IE: put your phone in recovery mode.)
[Desire Android Development] newstar:
Ok , but there is no proper guide how to get back stock recovery img for next ota updates and warrenty purpose .. and simple unroot is simple just with ruu but stock recovery HOW ?

[Desire Android Development] fredezzz:
Sorry, I never meant I hate custom recovery. I actually don't understand the exact meaning and feature it could bring.

But now, with your answer, I begin to understand. What are the differences with the official image?
[Desire Android Development] newstar:
Problem is not custom recovery problem is how to get back (revert) to stock recovery and no one answer for it ...

If i use urevoked on my desire 2.2 hboot 0.92, will my stock rom be replaced? I just want root.
[Desire Android Development] fredezzz:
So, I finally decided to make it!

Unfortunately, the revoked process didn't work: "internal error couldn't find misc"

I have seen this error many times on different forums, without any answer, except by downgrading to 2.1.

So, if someone has finally a real clue...
[Desire Android Development] lomo2002:
hi guys,

I just got a Desire with Froyo 2.2 SLCD and i was wondering if this rooting method appears anywhere on boot load screen or somewhere else? I am asking because of guarantee and stuff.

My second question is, is it possible to enable ASCD+ without flashing with custom rooms?

The last question is that i am living in norway, is possible to find the original shipped rom somewhere?
[Desire Android Development] Xonq:
I've been done some readings the past few hours, but now I might have found a solution for the "waiting for device" issue.

this is what I've done:

1. install custom hboot driver as described --> done & ok

2. download reflash_package.exe and follow instructions --> "waiting for device"

3. installed and uninstalled latest hty sync as described few pages back, reboot --> still "waiting for device" (you just need the htc driver installer so the device can be recognized from windows)

4. i've noticed that the reflash_package.exe is packed!! unpacked it with winrar, run reflash.exe as administor - - - -> desire recognized and flashed!!

my device is now rooted, wooot!

maybe some .dll issues when runing the packed reflash_package.exe?? dunno..

tested on win7 pro x86
[Desire Android Development] ukmacca84:
Just root?

Hi guys,

I've just bought a desire sim free with stock 2.2 rom (sold my X10) , however I'd like to have the opportunity to send my apps to my sd card. If I use this method, do I get SU permissions etc to do this? Also do I have to change the rom or can I stick with the stock one and have root access?

Cheers.
[Desire Android Development] djR3Z:
Thanks for the troubleshooting man. Yeah you gotta unpack it if its packed, otherwise it won't run it correctly. There are a few different versions floating around and some are packed, some are not. But thanks for posting this :)
[Desire Android Development] accel24:
Hello all,

My friend is planning to buy htc desire soon.

Just want to reconfirm if i can still use "linux live cd - SLAX" to root htc desire (whether its amoled or s-lcd).

This is the procedure i used before and since i've tested it im very sure that it is safe.

Can i still use this? as the guide here is for windows OS.
[Desire Android Development] Odd_Sam:
The stock recovery only allows you to flash HTC signed update.zip files. Custom recoveries allow you to flash what ever you want to your nand. If the stock recovery starts usb debugging which I doubt, it doesn't have root access where a custom recovery would. Essentially that's your main difference. Basically it's the difference between YOU being able to fix your phone or HTC being able to fix your phone.

If I'm not mistaken RUUs have the stock recovery built in. So flashing them take you completely back to out-of-the-box.

As I explained in my previous post in this thread you want both root and a custom recovery. Your stock rom is only altered to allow root access, not reflashed. So you will maintain all of your apps/home screen layouts/SD Card porn/etc.

I'm not quite sure what you are asking. I run linux on my laptop as my main operating system. The linux version of unrevoked works just fine. As long as you download the latest binary from their website and know some basic linux you should be just fine. I had to run the reflash binary as root on my laptop using the sudo command because of the way hardware permissions are handled in ubuntu. I would recommend using the windows binary of unrevoked if you are more familiar with windows.
[Desire Android Development] ukmacca84:
Cheers Odd_Sam, that's cleared up what I wanted to know. As long as I root without losing stock rom per se and reflash it if needs be to stock then thats good.

cheers matey.

PLEASE IGNORE

Didn't someone tell it is wise to read all posts instead of the first page only...

[Desire Android Development] Xonq:
well I downloaded form the link on first page, which seems to be the homepacke from the original coder itself..? maybe u should metion on first post that the downloaded reflash_package.exe should be unpacked first, because it cost me few hours to notice that its packed. or just upload a .zip with unpacked folder seems to be easier....

I've noticed that on my win7 ultimate x64 system, the desire still won't be recognized from the unpacked reflash.exe!!!! so this is a system/phone related problem also!!!

anyhow thx for ur efford, I'll be too lazy to root (downgrade, goldcard etc) if there won't be this exellent one-ckilck reflash thingie around =)

next stop - custom rom =))

ROM Manager

I managed to make it work all the way (after 20mins or so).

Now i can use ROM Manager without restrictions but... When i try to creat a "SD Partition" he let me press OK then he reboot, and then something like:

Any ideias ?

[Desire Android Development] XDA mark:
First of all, thank you for making this n00b-friendly guide!

Now I have a weird question: how do I know if I succesfully rooted my Desire? I now have a 'Superuser Permissions' app on my phone first of all. So I guess it worked?

I am asking because some stuff didn't go exactly like in the video's you made (it was an Evo 4G though..) Anyway, at the end my Desire rebooted a few times actually, which I am not sure is good. Unrevoked also told me 'Done.'.

So I'm good right? :0)
[Desire Android Development] Nemo0815:
I have a problem with unrevoked 3.21:

I initially installed Clockworkmod 2.5.0.1 which worked just fine. Then after some time i wanted to upgrade to version 2.5.0.7 using the same method, which also ended successfully again, but after rebooting into recovery, it still shows me version 2.5.0.1.

I tried this several times now but it's always the same, seems i cannot upgrade to this version.

The only way to start 2.5.0.7 is using the Rom manager but then the image is only loaded from SD if i understand correctly (not the installed one by unrevoked...).

Any ideas?

^^ Nobody else got this problem? :(

just one question.how come i still got s-on? i have follow all the steps and unrevoke said it is done.a bit confusing here

here's what it shows on my bootloader

mine is Desire S-LCD with 2.2 on it.am i doing something wrong here?

thanks
[Desire Android Development] DarkFoxDK:
The root process seems to have gone well, but the sdcard can't be mounted while in recovery mode.

USB mount works.

This is what it looks like when I try to start a backup from ROM manager:

The card is 8gb. with a fat32 partition first, then a 1GB ext3 partition after that.

I have tried making the 2nd partition ext4 and unformatted as well, to no avail.
[Desire Android Development] DarkFoxDK:
So, I have been able to sort-of, fix it by mounting the partitions manually in recovery.

The partitions are switched around in /etc/fstab...

Just to confirm, everything passed OK. Windows 7 Ultimate x64, HTC Desire, Android 2.2, HBOOT 0.93.0001, RADIO 5.09.05.30_2

still wondering...

Hi Guys, i have a question.

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, i get the red exclamation mark and must restart). 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?

[Desire Android Development] Nemo0815:
Hi, is it possible that unrevoked 3.21 always installs Clockworkmod 2.5.0.1? I tried it several times now and getting crazy because even if I select teh 2.5.0.7 image, it always shows me the old 2.5.0.1 when I enter recovery after unrevoking the phone :(
[Desire Android Development] edofic:
i succesfuly rooted my phone. i even installed the app called screenshot to confirm it.

BUT

things went terribly wrong after that. i went to check out the new recovery and made a nandroid backup.

an now phone doesn't boot up properly anymore. i get the htc screen and then it just reboots.

however i can get into hboot and recovery so i still have hope

and ideas?

EDIT fixed
[Desire Android Development] Sandeman1976:
su means switch user.. it tries to switch to the user "reflash" and it doesn't exist :D

I think sudo (perform next command as root) reflash is a better idea.

But please do check this before trying, i don't (i repeat, i DO NOT) know anything about this linux flashy thingy.

Just rooted my phone using windows and i have some basic linux knowledge.. Goodluck.

I have the CDMA HTC Desire from US Cellular, and there is no HBOOT USB item in this menu. There are only these four choices:

FASTBOOT

SIMLOCK

Any ideas?

*** EDIT ***

Never mind. For anyone else with a USCC CDMA Desire, just ignore that part. Restart your phone by holding volume down and power, and when you see the menu screen, plug your phone in. When you plug in, it will put itself into the right mode automatically.

My HTC Desire is from Vodafone Germany (with software branding) and I updated to Android 2.2 Vodafone from stock 2.1 Vodafone (some weeks ago).

My question is now, can i simply root my VODAFONE BRANDED 2.2 Desire with unrevoked 3.21 ? Because i read something about Goldcard etc. :confused:

Can i root it without a goldcard or not? And when i have to root it with a goldcard, what tutorial do i have to use ? :D

And how do i know if my desire is CDMA oder GSM?

Thanks :)

--EDIT--

And what about my contacts, sms and so on? I mean, everything which is saved on the phone and not on the sd card. Does unrevoked 3.21 wipe my phone data and everything is gone ? Can i save everything without root?

After my second replacement from Orange due to the update screwing the bluetooth and the tethering the same thing happened again so I ran un-revoked this morning with no problem at all.I now have a rooted phone with orange 2.2 and I would be grateful if somebody could direct me to a rom that would just debrand and maybe allow me to put the phone into the way it would be if I bought it unbranded. I've been trawling through thread after thread and it's a mine field ! :eek:
