Ok I need some help.. I using Unrevooked what seemed to be successfully (I got the success screen at the end)..but other than whipping all of my text messages it doesn't seem to have done anything. I tried to install Titanium Backup but it said I didn't have root access. I've done it about 3 times now but had the same results.

Can anyone advise me where I'm going wrong on this?
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
Unrevoked doesn't wipe nothing..For titanium u need also busybox, just press "Problems?" button on titanium, it will download busybox and after that, if unrevoked has worked, titanium will work correctly

EDIT - Removed Droid Explorer, ran the reflash package as Administrator and everything went fine

Hi everyone,

After following the steps mentioned I have an issue with unrEVOked being stuck at the pushing recovery stage. Is it that my stock ROM is too fresh?

Details:

OS - Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit

HBOOT - 0.93.0001

Radio - 5.11.05.27

Rom - HTC Sense stock (fresh RUU) HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Mos Sincere:
I did that but it still didn't work.

I also don't seem to have Super User access. After what seemed to be 3-4 success attempts using unrevoked I'm at a loss as to what I can do. :confused:

HTC Desire Hd

Hi,

Can this rooting method be used on HTC DESIRE HD as well? I tried following the steps for Desire HD and got an error message "HTC Ace not supported".

Thanks

Hello,

Just rooted my HTC Desire. Everything went fine after a bit more reading than just the Guide.

Let me explain the "troubles" I went through.

- Going to bootloader, I didn't have the HBOOT USB option.

- But when I plugged the USB Cable the computer asked or the driver.

- Assuming the driver was correctly installed as I saw an "Android 1.0 Bootloader" device in my Device manager, I started Unrevoked 3.21 to no avail ... It consistently waited for the device to be plugged to the USB.

I had no HTC Sync installed on the computer and it had never been installed.

- Going through this thread I read in the before last page that in fact ou have to install HTC Sync in order for the HTC Drivers to be installed, then uninstall ...

Did it, and then .. Tada ... "this was a Triumph"... Done.

Thank you for this easy to go Guide.

I have the same problem then you m8 but even after a clean install from windows XP 32 bit and a Windows 7 32 bit i always get the same eroor message and cant get it away.

[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
I have a friends phone here - over from Korea - branded unlocked model A8181 / Froyo 2.2 / Bravo PVT1 / hboot 0.93.0001 / Micro-op 031d / Touch Panel SYNT0101 / Radio 5.10.05.17_2

Is it safe to go ahead with Unrevoked method? Do I need to S-OFF after rooting or use a Gold Card or anything like that?

With my A8181 UK unlocked model, I just ran Unrevoked last September and it worked perfectly.

I always run from Linux BTW (will use Fedora bootable USB image).

Any help greatly appreciated.
[Desire Android Development] Mos Sincere:
Ok.. I've tried the whole process again.. I still get 'done' at the end of the unrevoked process but I still can't do a back-up. What else can I do to confirm that I have actually successfully rooted my phone?

[Desire Android Development] Corky Duke:
Having difficulty with my (attempted) root of my Branded o2 Desire, which is running 2.2, radio is 5.09.05.30_2 and HBOOT 0.93.

My phone crashed earlier and I was forced to do a factory reset, so I though to myself, since I had lost pretty much everything I would root my phone and install a custom ROM.

First of all I did the usual of uninstalling HTC Sync (but leaving the drivers alone), installing the HBOOT driver, and then running unrevoked.

Everything with unrevoked went well, and I even got a message saying something like, "This was a triumph", which was immediately followed by this message;

"Internal error.Failed to unlock NAND flash?"

I tried to root the phone using both my own OS (Windows 7 x86), and the Linux (Slax) Live CD, and both times got that message.

Even tried another factory reset, uninstalling and reinstalling all of the drivers etc, but always got stuck at the same error message!

One of my friends mentioned downgrading to 2.1 to root the phone, but it looks very complicated.

Sorry about the long message, but I wanted to be as specific as possible, as I've spent pretty much my entire day off on this, as the prospect of a faster phone with less battery wastage appeals greatly to me.

Many thanks to anyone that can help me.
[Desire Android Development] 3tybagig:
Same here.

Using OSX to root with UnRevoked3. Prepped the phone, ran UnRevoked, all seemed to work without issue, can boot into recovery no problem but when I try to flash a new rom I just get lots of failed to mount..., failed to bla bla bla, failed to update. Even if I put the phone in recovery and try and adb rm /system/app/someapp.apk it fails. I have root but seems like security is still "ON".

The one thing I didn't do was install bustbox separately through titanium. Is it necessary?

I have my own phone rooted and running Gingerbread. This failure happened when trying to help my friend with his brand new Desire.

Something new I need to read about?

[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
What rom u try flashing? All roms give the same errors?

Unrevoked give u root user, mean u can flash rom and do some adb in /system when u are in recovery..Anyway security remain S-ON (mean u dont have write permission on /system when ur phone is booted, but just in recovery)..

Busybox is not needed for flash rom, or remove apk..Anyway when u are in recovery check if u mounted /system (in the recovery, under mounts and storage, choiche mount /system) then try remove ur apk..Post the error if doesn't work
[Desire Android Development] 3tybagig:
Yes, won't flash any rom. tried a few.

in recovery can't mount /system because no permissions.

HI everyone I have a htc desire with Froyo 2.2 hboot 0.93

I am using unrevoked 3.32 and when I arrive at the end gives me error:

Error: failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?

How can I fix this?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Christoffer91:
Hey, I just tried to root my desire, and followed your steps. Installing Android Bootloader Interface went fine and it's listed under Android phone when the phone is in HBOOT, but when the phone is turned on, it's listed as ADB. Is this normal?

Anyway, when i went ahead and was going to install unrevoked. HTC sync is not installed on the computer and USB debugging is on, and the phone is only charging from USB cable.

So I started the flash program, but it doesn't seem to find my phone, I'll post a pic with what it says below.

Any ideas to what I can do to fix this? Any help is appreciated, thanks! :)

Edit: I got it working now and it's rooted :)
[Desire Android Development] Packman14:
Used this guide to root GSM desere.. seemed work :)

BUT, when i was going to backup, wipe and flash a rom. I got this error:

E:Cant find MISC:

E:Cant mount CACHE:recovery/command

is it because i have S-ON? how can i check if i have S-ON?

Or is it something wrong with my recovery image?

THX!
[Desire Android Development] markdomingo:
This happened to me too, most likely a PVT4 Desire with root but still S-ON. You can boot to recovery and check the initial lines of text to see if you have PVT4 and/or S-ON.

I used alpharev to S-OFF and was able to backup my ROM and install Cyanogenmod.
[Desire Android Development] nicklashidegard:
I had the same problems. I reflashed newest official ruu (2.29.405.5) to unroot, the rooted again using amonra instead of clockwork. In unrevoked you click file then custom recovery. Works 100% now.
[Desire Android Development] 3tybagig:
Thank you very much Markdomingo!

That was exactly what was needed.

Hello every one

i have a basic question regarding rooting .......

if i root my device with unrovoked 3

what will happen to my stock rom will it becomme nonfunctional ?

is it necessory to flash a new rom to device after rooting ?

No, not -it'll work, and no need to flash a custom one.
[Desire Android Development] commando0:
Thanks for quick reply ...........
[Desire Android Development] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
thx alot for the working root on my telus desire hboot 93.0001. next question is what does turning s-off do? what r the main positives to turning it off and do i still need to reflash for it to take affect or does it come prepacked in this root?
[Desire Android Development] oursoul:
This method worked perfectly me for me thanks.
[Desire Android Development] Sendog2010:
Worked for me the 2nd time. The first time I got a message saying my version was too new.. But I read up in the forums that it could've been a problem due to some incompatible applications. I force stopped everything except some vital system apps and ran the roto-rooter again. Worked smoothly with no problems. Thanks to all the developers and testers, I'll be donating. :)
[Desire Android Development] coolsamshil9:
hi

Hi , i just bought htc desire from t mobile.. which is 2.2 froyo version. i just want to ask will this method work? do i need to donwngrade my radio or version to 2.1?

also if once rooted if i want to keep my stock rom running , will it be possible?

my main concern id to root and apps2sd and make my cuurent stock rom recovery and run curent rom.

thnaks for the concerns
[Desire Android Development] CandyAndy:
So frustrating that I can't get this to root!! Dunno what I am doing wrong but I always get "Validation error: Backup CID is missing"

does that mean that I should download a custom rom to my sd card before rooting?

Going to give that a shot now but it is strange that it doesn't say anything about that in the instructions..
[Desire Android Development] cookie74:
Ok I followed the guide and if seems to work but gets to a point where it just says waiting for reboot and stays like that. Is there anything I'm missing?
[Desire Android Development] cgorki:
READING THIS SHOULD HELP ROOTING ALL BRAVO / DESIRE MODELS

The initial Guide in the OT should be updated, since it doesn't work for some branded models and also for handsets with PVT4.

PVT4 devices should load a custom image in Urevoked (RA Recovery)

See: HERE

Branded devices might need a goldcard before rooting!

See: HERE

In general you can follow this guide by SirHades:

Turn off your phone, then boot it into the HBOOT menu by holding power and volume down.

Connect the phone to your Windows machine with a USB cable and wait for the phone to say HBOOT USB PLUG on screen.

Open Device Manager.

Click Start, then right click on Computer, then click Properties, then click Device Manager.

Under Other devices, you should now see the Android 1.0 device.

Right click on Android 1.0 and click Update Driver Software:

Click on Browse my computer for Unrevoked driver software.

Click on Browse and select the Android USB Driver folder on on your computer, click ok, then click next.

You should get a status bar indicating that the driver is installing. If you get any warnings, just click Ok.

Your driver should install.

Click Close and make sure Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone.

Download and Install latest HTC Sync

From the control panel, remove program HTC Sync (Leave "HTC BMP Driver" and HTC Driver Installer)

Plug your Desire and select Charge only. Let Windows install the drivers if it has to.

Run Unrevoked3

click "THANKS" if you find this post useful

[Desire Android Development] ShawnDobie:
I've been at this for hours now, and I'm about to give up.I've tried every combination of solutions I can find online, uninstalling, reinstalling, different versions of HTC Sync, clearing all the data, Windows 7 and Windows XP, everything, but I just keep getting errors. Usually it's Internal Error:failed to unlock NAND flash. But after switching back to a windows 7 machine from an XP, I got one asking if my firmware was too new. I found one thread where two people were saying that because I have hboot 1.06, that Unrevoked 3 won't work, and currently the only work around is to use a temp root.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I've searched on my own for too long for today.

Thanks in advance to anyone that could possibly help...

To add, Everything seems to go good, the phone reboots into hboot once, then when it says Waiting for system to settle, it boots normal, not into hboot.

Hi guys, hoping you can help. I ran unrevoked3 on an already rooted Desire because I thought this would update my recovery image. All was well until I got the error "Unable to root - is firmware too new?"

Thanks! I faced the same issue as many people. Installing HTC Sync's drivers solved everything. Like many people did, I just installed the 4 drivers.

Any ideas why I can't root? The phone was never branded. Never rooted end so on.
[Desire Android Development] bazzix:
found out the hard way, but you need to reset the default install location to internal memory (or automatic) if you are using apps2sd functionality of 2.2

Before running unrevoked, run the adb command:

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0

And then everything should be ok (if prerequisites are ok of course)

If you read this after you already tried and got stuck on the Error: perhaps too new, go to Manage Applications and Uninstall the Zysploit apk.

And then retry unrevoked as described in the howtos.

If anyone knows these unrevoked developers, please ask them to include this command in their install script.

Have fun rooting ;)

I have exacly the same problem.. got any solution?? Please help
[Desire Android Development] janeku:
Just reading and reading and got stuck :)

Simple question for a simple answer:

1. Will this procedure destroy all of my phone contacts ???

2. When I do a root will it be able to move all of my applications to my SD card or not ?

3. Is this working under Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition and should I put "adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0" before i start unrevoke ?

4. Else

ANSWERS :)

1. NO

2. For me nothing works :) The only thing I get is Superuser permissions, but it does nothing when I opened it (blank screen and only options when I press MENU)

3. Yes, without any problems in ROOT account

4. I see tha i have only R permissions to my phone. There is no possibility to move files to SD Card or something else. SHIP S-ON is still on. How to change this ??

Any idea or guide for this ?
[Desire Android Development] Leonidas300:

Hey Guys,

Where can I find older versions of Unrevoked to use on a Mac.

After having some problems with flashing some roms, I decided I wanted to flash Amon-Ra instead of clockwork. But trying out the newest 3.32 Unrevoked gives me the "Error- Is your firmware too new" error. Have looked upon this and tried everything I found. I removed the zysploit.apk, but that didn't help. I coincidentally found an old unrevoked 3.21version for mac.

That version didn't gave me an error, but it didn't install Amon-Ra's just the same clockwork 2.5.07 I tried to get rid off. (and I did select the custom recovery image)

Can anybody help me out please! Thanks in advance
