Wow. I have done it...Iam rooted. Big massive thanks u guys for all the input in this helpful thread...after a few tries and reading through the thread...it went smoothly woooooot :-))

I have pvt4 so I used RA recovery img instead of clockwork mod but i still have the bloody S-ON even tho I made sure that security was off in unrevoked ..

now if I want to try to get this s-off with alpharev method can I keep RA recovery or do I have to put clockwork mod?

Can I install busybox with RA recovery or it only work with clockwork?

Which is better ra-recovery clockwork ? Or they r the same? Can u from clockwork back to RA recovery easily?

Any input will be great guys..

Thanks alot in advance...great work

I have tried to run the Unrevoked reflash tool and was also goin to try & run it manually(put on root of sd card & rename to update.zip) but can't do that cause I have no recovery on the stock locked rom :( :mad: SOME! HELP ME PLEASE:mad:

Thanks for any help oh I have googled & searched &googled N searched some more I have also asked some cats on palringo no1 has any answers. I can't even find any info on if it's ok & or how 2 downgrade back to 0.93 hboot

This isn't my first root & flash on a android however it is my first on the desire & i haven't found much to desire about it
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
Unfortunally your hboot version is too new, unrevoked is working on it and probably will release a new version when and if they found a way to root that hboot..just be patient :)

In addition, at the moment, there is no way to downgrade your hboot to an older version rootable

I've booted the phone while pressing the VOL DOWN key, got to hboot, plugged in and installed the appropriate hboot drivers, rebooted the phone and turned on USB Debugging, plugged it in and selected charge only (and remember), opened unrevoked and nothing happens. I've tried plugging the phone in first, then opening unrevoked, or opening unrevoked first then plugging in, and nothing happens.

I've also tried on a different computer w/xp (same proceedure and hboot installation, etc) and I have the same issue. I'm also running the stock ROM.

Am I somehow missing something? (I also do not have htc sync or any other USB communicating software on either machine). thanks in advance for any suggestions!

only i can suggest is factory reset and format sd card(backup before) and then try again.

ah - I had to get the adb drivers installed by starting the installation for HTC sync, but only the first part where it says it needs to install usb drivers - once it did that, and it started the actual install of htc sync, I didn't go futher and promptly started unrevoked and it worked!

hey guys im just a newbie and i dont know much about tinkering with computers..i just finished following the instructions and i was able to root my phone..at the end of the rooting process here's whats on the screen:

-wipe data/factory reset

-wipe cache partition

-install zip from sdcard

-backup and restore

-mounts and storage

[Desire Android Development] dbanzon:
just realized my earlier question has been asked in previous posts...so let me see, the solution would be to load the amonra recovery image. Sorry newbie question though, how do i load the recovery image? Do i have to unroot and repeat the whole process again? I hope someone answers my post..thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] nicklashidegard:
Just run unrevoked again but select custom recovery in the file menu and navigate to amon-ra img. I'd recommend flashing 2.0.1 as it also backs up ext. You can find it inside the amon-ra thread, use search. Good luck.
[Desire Android Development] dbanzon:
it worked..aside from using the amon-ra img i also had to change the unrevoked version i was using..had to use 3.21 instead of 3.22. Thanks for the help.

Hmm..so now im trying to put on the cyanogenmod rom. Instructions are:

1.First time flashing CyanogenMod 7 to the HTC Desire GSM, or coming from another ROM?

2.Root the device and install ClockworkMod Recovery. Instructions are available here.

3.Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.

4.Format the system, data & cache partitions of your device.

5.Perform a factory reset.

6.Flash CyanogenMod.

7.Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.

ive finished number 3 but im not quite sure how to go about doing number 4 & number 5. Can anyone help me how to do this step by step? sorry im a complete newb.

Also do i need to have s-off?
[Desire Android Development] Android_Asim:
does this method give you Root AND S off???? or only Root???
[Desire Android Development] alex_hk90:
I think it's just root (S-OFF is a separate procedure). At least it was when I did it.

[Desire Android Development] ScottHW:
USB Driver problem

I had the same issue as several others have reported.

I followed the steps correctly (with the exception that my HBOOT 0.93 does not have the 5th menu item, HBOOT USB).

When I plugged in the phone (Charge Only, USB Debugging), unrevoked3 just sat there, saying "Waiting for device..."

Fortunately, I also had the same success reported by others. I unplugged my phone, installed HTC Sync (complete), then immediately uninstalled it.

I have did figure one thing out, tho.

After I originally loaded the HBOOT drivers from unrevoked, Device Manager showed "Android HBOOT Driver" while USB was connected and the phone was in HBOOT menu.

However, when I rebooted the phone, Device Manager only identified "ADB", and contained the Yellow Exclamation mark of unknown device. I think this will be a key for anyone trying this; if you've never installed HTC Sync, then you'll get this result, and unrevoked3 won't find the device.

After uninstalling HTC Sync, when I plugged the phone in, several USB drivers installed themselves (the result screen is attached). The one that says "My HTC" was the one that previously said "ADB".

During the unrevoked reflashing process, there were multiple USB drivers installing themselves, including USB Mass Storage.

Hope this helps some others
[Desire Android Development] ParagonDevil:
hi guys. after i plug in my desire in its bootloader mode, in my device manager i have already see Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone. I haven't done anything yet. So does this mean i can proceed to rooting my phone?
[Desire Android Development] alessandro_xda:
i was struggled during the past months because i wanted to root my phone (because i need more memory and i'd like a2sd) but i had no chance to backup my datas because my phone is (of course) not rooted.

reading this thread i realized that using unrevoked all my datas and apps won't be affected by the rooting procedure... is it true??

the second question is: does it work on xp64bit?

please answer YES to both question so i'll root it right now!!! :)

[Desire Android Development] justinkb:
i find it's easiest to just load a linux livecd of some kind and then run the linux version of unrevoked, much less of a hassle than screwing with the custom hboot drivers in windows.

I've tried running Unrevoked 3.2.1 on Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) today on a UK O2 Desire running 2.2 following their OTA upgrade.

I'm seeing what many are reporting in that Unrevoked fails the validation of the 'misc' partition and won't proceed.

I'm not aware of any partition tools to be able to progress this further or any fixes/workarounds to resolve. Has anyone found out how to get this to run successfully?

I'd also like to check what is left on the phone that may need removing should the phone need to be returned?

Hi,

After reading this thread, I'm happy to know there is a possibility to root my desire.

But I'm afraid ... of bricking my device!

So, I would like to know what are the risks?

Is there (some) possibilities to recover, at least in some cases?

Did anyone encounter problems? if so, how did you solve it?

Thank's for everyone to share your experiences.

Any solution?

[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
S-ON is phone Security, if you want to S-OFF read http://alpharev.nl

S-OFF allows you to change partition tables for example, and its not needed for flashing custom rom's in most cases and its recommended only for more experienced people that know what are they doing!

Need some help rooting nohboot

Hi all

After the poor news from HTC regarding gingerbread update I have decided to root my phone, I have previously installed custom rom on HTC diamond so happy doing it.

I am having problems with getting it to boot HBOOT. On the menu I have

fastboot

recovery

clear storage

simlock

no hboot, I have managed to install the andriod bootloaded drivers on my pc.

but the phone is not showing any hboot USB option.

I have searched the forums and uninstalled HTC sync and android SDK, but still no luck with booting the phone in hboot mode.

Any ideas
[Desire Android Development] gascanieto:
Having selected fastboot, press the power button.
[Desire Android Development] sbonera:
selected fastboot and power toggles it from hboot usb plug and fastboot usb.

device manager in windows toggles between htc bootloader and android bootloader interface.

i can not get in hboot with the android bootloader interface so that i can start unrevoked.

ok, I downloaded recovery-clockwork-5.0.0.0-bravo.zip, renamed it into update.zip, CWM 5 was shown, I didn't got the error when wiping (couldn't find ext partition...) and now INSERTCOIN boots :)

what I found: "it is cause you use the fake-flash method, launching CWM 5.0.0 by flashing a .zip file from your current recovery.

in order to permanently change your recovery you would have to be S-OFF and have a .img file of the new recovery"

Active Service

Getting ready to root my phone (finally) and this method appears to be the easiest. However, another guide stats that Unrevoked requires active service on the phone to work. Can anyone confirm this? The Desire I want to root doesn't have any service, I just use it when in wi-fi range for various things, as I downgraded my phone plan to a dumb-phone until my contract is up and I can switch carriers.

Thanks!
