Problem in rooting

Hi all

I have followed the instructions that is mentioned. and i am sure that android bootloader interface is installed successfully because i can see "HTC android phone USB device" in device drives part(and when i connect my phone to PC for the second time , PC knows the the android inteface).

when i connect phone to PC and run the program Unrevoked, it can't connect to phone to do it's job("Waiting for device").

HTC syn isn't installed and USB debugging is enabled. I tried it by the "recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img" costume Recovery image and nothing changed.

I don't know what i should do? please help

booloader 0.83

OS : 2.1 update1

software number 1.30.466.1​
[Desire Android Development] ImeNeko:
Just install and than uninstall HTC sync it`ll work perfectly...

Same problem here... With OTA 2.2...
[Desire Android Development] bruno1211:
This is beautiful...

It gives you root access in 5 minutes!

No need to downgrade Hboot or anything....

This should be stickied or at least added to benko285s thread about rooting and everything...
[Desire Android Development] FoRmaTiTo:
Nemo0815, I had the same problem, and it was driving me mad.

The solution is using unrevoked 3.14, using the option to flash a custom image, ie. the desired version of clockwork, which you will ned to download separately.
[Desire Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Hi, sorry for the noob question, but works fine with hboot 0.93 and Android 2.2 latest OTA update?

I can apply RA Recovery too?

Thanks a lot ;)

EDIT: Worrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkkkksssssssssssssssssssss fineeeeeeeeeeeee!!! :D :D

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] ruwan_ace:
Hi Guys,

How can i de-root the desire after rooting with Unrevoked? (Say if iwant to get a OTA update. :) )
[Desire Android Development] Yod-b:
Thumbs up!

It's absolutely working! I was a bit scared of it, but it went really smooth. Just follow the walktrough, and everything is gonna be alright. Thanks guys!
[Desire Android Development] dualay:
noob question

this will be a strange question background has been windows phone first android playing have used unrevoke method for root I think I have done it how can i confirm this before next step of replacing rom when go boot loader "power with volume down" I have a recovery option when I go into that it has clockworkMod recovery v2.5.0.7 is that is what is ment to happen Please donot flame me have read complete thread
[Desire Android Development] bruno1211:
Worked like a charm :)

[Desire Android Development] Alknaion:
Have the same radio 5.09.05.30_2, unrevoked 3.21 finished with done. So clockwork recovery is installed successfully, but s-off not ...
[Desire Android Development] GeesRiK:
With O2 UK Froyo 2.2 HBOOT 0.93

All seems to go through with Revoke saying its done all the biz and then on final Reboot I get "Internal error: Couldn't find misc"

Quick google and people who get this with O2 UK 2.2 have had to downgrade to 2.1, root that, then install a rooted 2.2?!

Anyone had this error and overcome it without having to do all that?!
[Desire Android Development] dur09:
why i cant see HBOOT USB?

maybe i have to plug in usb cable....
[Desire Android Development] dotcodotuk:
I'm getting the same error, but while I'm on O2, I've got an unbranded Desire. Or at least so I thought...

It looks like this is the only way, but are you suggesting that it's only people with a SIM from O2 or with handsets from 02 that are suffering this issue?

If so, could a workaround be to either debrand the phone or wipe the handset and try unrEVOked without a SIM in the phone?
[Desire Android Development] alexeev:
Could somebody advise how to avoid an error: Backup CID is unvalid
[Desire Android Development] Invisible Elf:
Does anyone have any idea if S-OFF for Desire GSM may be available in the (hopefully close) future through unrevoked?
[Desire Android Development] twallden:
awesome stuff, im new to android but this was easy :)
[Desire Android Development] bedeabc:
My phone is now bootlooping after a factory reset with ClockworkMod installed. I cannot seem to enter recovery.

Is running unrEVOked a safe thing to do to restore access to recovery? I almost did but read the message disclaimer about the process only being safe on phones that are already working perfectly.
[Desire Android Development] notmyfault:
thank you on a very helpful post!

at start i was worried about the whole rooting process but unrevoked made my life easier!
[Desire Android Development] wholet:
Can someone help me? I did the first part whic was at the video i did it the usb one and i turned on my phone back and at device management i cant see any android phone and bootloader interface under it but when i get into the boot vith volume down and power buttons at that time i can see android phone and bootloader at device management but when i turn my phone back on it dissapears and i can only see the ADP think which i saw before doing all these things right ?

Actually, I have a problem with this HBOOT version (0.93). When I boot phone by power and vol- I see all options, but not the HBOOT USB one. Anyway, I could upgrade android USB drivers in my computer, but when I run unrevoked, it never detects my device.

Could you please help me? Thanks.

[Desire Android Development] djR3Z:
Is anyone still having any major problems?
[Desire Android Development] DarkFoxDK:
Yes. When I go into recovery mode, the order of partitions on my SD card is somehow reversed.

Meaning I have to mount it manually, and I can't use the wipe script, as that will wipe the FAT32 part of the SD card.
[Desire Android Development] faddys123:
can i use this to root my branded orange htc desire with 2.2 ??
[Desire Android Development] blakey092:
Yes you can, I did. I took the precaution of unlocking first just in case but it all went without issue.
[Desire Android Development] arkazain:
In the HBOOT menu, I only have 4 options: FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, CLEAR STORAGE and SIMLOCK, no HBOOT USB. :confused:

Hi, I am using Desire with 2.2 FroYo and Windows 7 x64.

I installed the HBOOT drivers, after that I enabled usb debugging. When I plug my phone (which is just on, not in recovery mode or something) unrevoked won't detect it, the software stays on "Waiting for device". Any ideas? I tryed rebooting both the phone and the PC, but that doesn't work.
[Desire Android Development] rickvnl:
First of all.. This is my first root.....

I've unpacked the 'reflash_package'. Ran reflash.exe with admin rights.

Now I'm stuck in a screen.. Don't know what option to choose. So can someone help me?
[Desire Android Development] djR3Z:
lol thats the recovery, which means you're good and rooted :) just hit reboot system
[Desire Android Development] ipsanto:
hi guys, i am new to all this and i think i have rooted my phone correctly.

i used LeeDrOiD V2.2f Rom, but i am unsure if this has been loaded correctly. Can anyone advise me how to check this?

i have noticed that i have now superuser permissions, does this mean i have rooted my phone correctly?

Also if i have rooted it correctly, why is it that it states i am still low on memory :(

Help Please

Paul
[Desire Android Development] djR3Z:
If you flashed a different ROM, you're definitely rooted.

As for the memory issue, go to Settings>>Applications and check whats taking up so much space. You can sort all by size.
[Desire Android Development] Craddock:
Great tutorial, thanks for making this!

It worked for me :D
[Desire Android Development] barneystuta:
HTC Desire

T-Mobile Branded

Froyo 2.2

I have followed these instructions, and all worked fine. Unrevoked did as it was to do, and I got the screen the other user above posted (black screen with the blue text).

However, when my phone booted, it booted as normal, with the t-mobile branding. And I am still on 2.2. Is this right (I am guessing not?)

I tested Titanium back up, and it said it didn't have root access, so I guess not :D

Any pointers?
[Desire Android Development] djR3Z:
That is all correct. In Titanium Backup, click "Problems" on the bottom right and let it install Busybox. Tell me if everything works after that. I'm 95% sure that you're rooted :)
[Desire Android Development] ipsanto:
thank you for the reply, can you advise me how do i get the programs i have installed on my phone to be installed on the memory card?

Do i need to uninstall all the programs and have them reinstalled again?
[Desire Android Development] djR3Z:
In the same menu, go to manage applications, select the app you want to move and click Move to SD
[Desire Android Development] ipsanto:
thank you so much for that.

issue i have is this, i guess i need to set up my memory card to have a ext3 partition, which i have tried to do using ROM manager, issue i have is this:

When i go to rom manager and select partition memory card, i select, 512mb and then 0mb after, i hit ok for the phone to reboot and what happens is that it turns off and then a white screen pops up and then the HTC logo (in green) pops up and that is it, only way to reboot it is to remove the battery and turn the phone on again.

Any ideas how to partition this card or root my phone, cause when i hold down the volume key (down) and power up, i hit recovery and then it stats it is going to reboot and then the same thing happens again, White screen with Green HTC logo

I have a problem with my HBOOT version (0.93.0001) on a 2.2 OTA, not branded phone. When I boot phone by power and vol- I see all options, but not the HBOOT USB one. It is simply not there.
[Desire Android Development] drTestPilot:
Ok rooted. Using http://rootmydroid.co.uk/guides/desire/howtolinux-root-your-desire-using-unrevoked-in-linux/

None of rooting/downgrading guides on this forum worked for me. Even with Linux it wasn't easy - had to wipe SD cache, format SD card itself, make factory reset, boot plain vanilla Ubuntu from liveCD...
[Desire Android Development] alex_hk90:
Just wanted to say thanks for posting this (and of course to those who developed it) - I just ran it (the Linux one on Fedora 14 64 bit) on a branded (T-Mobile) Desire with Froyo and HBOOT 0.93.0001. It worked fine and I flashed a custom ROM successfully. :)

One question though - I didn't make a goldcard or anything, so can I be sure that all the T-Mobile branding is removed? I take it that flashing a custom ROM is sufficient in doing this, or is that not right?
[Desire Android Development] alex_hk90:
Anyone? Or at least - is there a definitive way of telling if an HTC Desire is debranded?
[Desire Android Development] kai84m:
Got a new Desire today since my old one had overheating probs.

It came with Tmob branding Hboot 0.93.00001 Froyo 2.12...

Rooting and installing AmonRa's recovery worked perfectly, after that i installed leedroid and flashed Alpharev S-OFF Hboot via Bootable CD.

That was a very quick and easy rooting process.
[Desire Android Development] alex_hk90:
Thanks for the reply. I know I've definitely rooted as I've installed a custom ROM (MoDaCo r9) and SuperUser works. I'm just not 100% sure that the T-Mobile branding is removed as during boot there's a pink ring/circle instead of the white screen with green HTC logo.
[Desire Android Development] kai84m:
I'm also not sure if the TMO Branding is gone with the pink circle still occouring, when you flash the Alpharev S-Off Hboot the circle is definitely gone and you can also flash a custom splash screen.
[Desire Android Development] volant:
hey guys.

i have a HTC desire with the great Leedroid lastest custom rom.

i have bought another htc desire for my friend, but it is different!! it has AMOLED SCREEN with HBOOT V 92 S-ON

i remember the amoled htc desire should be 75 or less than that.

i wanna root the phone with unrevoked!! and flash it with leedroid custom rom. any opinion? would be any problem? coz all the hboot version 92 and 93 are S-LCD not AMOLED!!
[Desire Android Development] Peikko:
Can unrevoked be applied to any hboot which is out yet?

I can't enter recovery or boot my phone. Tryed to install a official ROM but it told me that it can't be installed. So I guess I have to use one from o² but I'm not sure if I will be able to root it then.
[Desire Android Development] pantera70:
Hi all,

About to go ahead and root my Desire. Been away from rooting since upgrading from the G1 so wanted to ask a couple of questions.

Flashing ROMs was a simple as dropping them onto the root of your SD card and selecting "apply any zip" from recovery (RA recovery). Is this still the case?

Does Clockwork recovery have the ability to partition your SD card?

Cheers in advance...
[Desire Android Development] alex_hk90:
Thanks - I might try flashing the Alpharev S-OFF HBOOT and stock splash screen then. :)

1. Yes, flashing ROMs is still that simple: in ClockworkMod Recovery it's "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard".

2. I can't see an option to partition the SD card in ClockworkMod Recovery, only to format (already existing) partitions. I use GParted to create the ext3 partition for Apps2SD+, there's a bootable liveCD if you're not running Linux.

Hope this helps. :)
[Desire Android Development] pantera70:
Cheers for the info... Rooted successfully via unrevoked (T-Mob UK 2.2)... now to choose a ROM (although might have to remain loyal to CM) but hey, lets have a play and see what I settle on...
[Desire Android Development] c0d3w4lk3r:
Worked like a charm! Thanks for the walkthrough!
[Desire Android Development] bamserl:
i have. and i have no idea how to solve them.

unrevoked 3.21 rooted my phone as it should, but CWM is not working as i expected it to be (like on my SGS).

before using unrevoked - security is on

CWM Recovery Screen with Error Msg

anyone an idea?

Security is still on

edit: problem solved by using AmonRa 2.0, maybe it was the sw or the reason that i didn't do a restart of my pc after uninstalling the htc sync und installing the special usb driver
[Desire Android Development] sherlock1:
revoke doesn't seem to be able to find my phone....and i think i've done it all by the book.

Somebody got suggestions?

thnx in advance

p.s. i have a desire 2.2 hboot 93
[Desire Android Development] pantera70:
Have you ever had HTC Sync installed? If not then install it (you need some of the drivers that come with it), uninstall it and then update the drivers as per the unrevoked guide.

Try that first!
[Desire Android Development] alex_hk90:
Did you try the Linux live disc? That tends to be the most reliable method.
[Desire Android Development] dgattenb:
I have a Orange UK phone... so I'm gonna have to use a gold card ... :(

Unrevoked was fab ran fine .. put superuser on my phone !! fab !!

But I'm not rooted :(

I spoke with the Unrev guys... who said goldcard ... bugger
[Desire Android Development] blakey092:
My phone is orange uk and I rooted without a single hitch, no gold card. I don't understand why it's not the same for you ? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] UKseagull:
I haven't taken the plunge and rooted yet but I'm getting more interested, I'm a little concerned about not being able to reverse the root procedure if I need to, i.e warranty, OTA updates. How easy is it to reverse?
[Desire Android Development] UKseagull:
Anyone? Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] alex_hk90:
I'm not completely sure as I haven't looked into it, but I think it's very easy to reverse, just a case of reflashing an unrooted ROM (or something like htat).
[Desire Android Development] APEX.7:
i have followed this guide perfectly, up to the point it i've 'run as admin' the flasher, connected my uk tmobile desire, and it just says waiting for device, nothing happens? please help? thanks

[Desire Android Development] poun:
Hi everyone !

I decided to go ahead and root my HTC Desire Froyo this afternoon, and I have to admit, I've never seen anything easier to do ! I just logged in my Ubuntu as usual, plugged the Desire in Debug mode and launched "reflash"... I mean, how much easier can it get ?

I've been flashing phones for a while now (HTC windows mobile based, mostly - thx to xda ;-)) and it was already easy (booting phone in bootloader, launching RUU soft, loading ROM, next, next, next... done) but I thought rooting a Desire would be a hard thing to do.

Well, thanx to XDA, it's really not ! At least for an unbranded one (no goldcard, etc...), even on Froyo.

So I would like to say a big THANX to the XDA dev team for this thread !

I'm a developper too, so I just donated 10€ for support.

Big laugh on the donate page, by the way ;-) "None of your hard-earned money will be invested in XDA-developer speedboats, tropical holidays and/or controlled substances of any kind."

LOL

And for those who still wonder, I say go for it ! (real App2SD, droidWall and custom ROMs are waiting for you).

It worked perfectly for me with :

Unbranded French HTC Desire

Stock ROM 2.1 with Froyo 2.2 update OTA (08/2010)

HBoot 0.93

Radio 32.44.00.32U-5.09.05.30_2

Froyo version 2.10.405.2
[Desire Android Development] tanw:
hi all,i am about to receive my desire..cant wait.

a few qns,if i were to root it just for superuser access and not to flash custom roms,how to i unroot it?in case of warranty purposes.
[Desire Android Development] rj_22:
im stuck on the "windows needs to install driver software for your adb." What do I do now? I already did the driver install. I'm using windows vista is that makes a difference.

edit: I think uninstalling htc sync is my problem. Where do I find that at?
[Desire Android Development] poun:
From what I saw, rooting from Windows seems to be way more painful, you have to install drivers, uninstall HTC Sync, etc...

Vista being the worst OS ever with Millenium, I sure wouln't want to start struggling rooting a phone with it.

You're better of doing it with any Linux Live CD (if you don't have a bootable Linux). You will waste a lot less time.

I think the fastest way to do it is to

- download Ubuntu or Damn Small Linux,

- Put it on a USB drive using unetbootin,

- Boot on USB drive,

- download unrevoked for Desire (reflash.tar.gz)

- plug the desire in Debug mode,

- launch a console, and execute reflash

and that it ! Took me less time to do it than I took to write this... ;-)

Downloads : (sorry, can't post real links due to the forum policy apparently)

Ubuntu : ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download

Damn Small Linux : distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/current/

unetbootin : unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

Unrevoked : downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.21/reflash.tar.gz

PS :

If you really want to use Windows though, I can just advise you to use Revo Uninstaller to deal with your issue.

Revo is pretty much what the default Windows Uninstaller should be. You can find it here (doesn't even need installation) :

revouninstaller.com/download/revouninstaller.zip

Good luck !
