hey guys,
tried everything in my knowledge to try root my desire, going through tutorials on this forum and other forums but seem to get stuck in the same place,
when using the r4 or r5 root method on the step2 part where you try push the files to the phone itself , it cannot find the device
'error: device not found'
ive tried rectifying this by making sure usb debuggings on,
my desire is t-mobile branded so ive been using a goldcard, first of al used the gold card generator thanks to klutsh then when i thought that was the problem i tried making my own with the help of the guide on this forum,
,
just seem stuck in a rut at the moment ,
if some one could shed some light spent houses yesterday trying to figure it out
BTW ive used the windows and tinycore methods
my radio is 4.05.00.11
t mobile uk
on 0.75 base and 1.15 rom
You need a gold card, make sure the one u made works! Even try making it again, i was getting the exact same error on my unbranded desire, i tried lyk 10 times, i made a goldcard and was rooted 5 mins later
yeah tried 2 different ways going to try my wifes sd card when shes back also going to try linux
think win xp sp3 has issues connecting to the phone so.....
ill see how linux goes
Maybe its somthing diffrent mate but until i made my goldcard adb was giving me the exact same device nt found error! Can you use fake flash without root? Maybe just try flashing, rootedupdate.zip from recovery?
not tried using fake flash , tried with a different sd and its the same
think must be something to do with the gold card like you said,
what tutorial did you use?

this is the tutorial i used to root my desire
http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/
Try the r6 method from Paul @ http://desire.modaco.com

Hey sutty86 I had same problem.I tried rooting unbranded Desire with r6 method. I have windows 7 x64.No luck.Then I switched to Ubuntu x64 and right from start everything gone OK.It is probably windows x64 drivers problem.
I had this problem too on Win7 x86 but I installed HTC Sync and rebooted my computer and it worked like a charm.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
It's a driver issue. As suggested above, double-check the HTC Sync installation or use the Linux rooting method.
If you need to make a Gold Card, try using this tool:

Hello,
I try now since 2 hours to root my desire (it's non brnded and no simlock).
The bootloader is as i see it verion 0.92.
I have tried now 3 different Micro SD cards as goldcards and with the goldcards was never a problem. When i com to following point of the Tutorial:
5. Turn off your phone and turn it back on by holding down Back and Power until you see Fastboot come up on the screen. Push the Power button while highlighting Fastboot on the phone and Fastboot should show up in red now on the phone (if it doesn’t push Power again until it does).
6. Plug the phone in via USB cable to the computer.
7. Open the folder you extracted to the C drive and double click “step1-windows.bat” and wait for it to finish.

hmmm.... i find that a little to risky, but i gues it is just a question of time until a rootflash will be available for the new hboot... Don't you think?
The method you are trying downgrades your phone's software so I'm not sure why you think it's less risky. Also it'll never work on your phone (which might be a good thing, as if you have SLCD, it'd brick the screen).

So understanding you correctly: For the moment there is no way to have a modified rom on my sLCD Htc Desire?
There is; downgrade your bootloader and use a rom with slcd support. If you are afraid to do it, then don't. If you don't want to spent time finding the correct information, you should not root imho. Btw, this forum has a good search function, plus a sticky with all the info you will need.

I'd strongly suggest you *don't* follow that thread. Also, it will downgrade your system. As has already been said this is the ONLY way to root the phone.

Now i'm confused.
You say this does the downgrade and here it sais "don't" do the downgrade: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748498
If you have hboot 0.92 then you have froyo, and you cannot root without downgrading down to android 2.1.
The thread you are looking at is out of date. The information you are given now is up to date.

All right.. Got it...
So let's do a summery:
- I need to do a downgrade of the hboot
- then i need to aply the brick fix as i have a SLCD
- then i do the root flash
- then i again the brick fix
- and finally i can do the mod upgrade (where maybe after i need to do the brick fix again?
is it important to do the goldcard after the downgrade of the hroot or can i do it when ever i want?
BTW: I'd like to flash LeeDrOiD V2.0a mod with EspressoTheme
No.

First of all thank you for your reply.
Primary I've done it in MacOSX.
Afterwards I repeated it on Win 7, I was following this guide:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
for driver installation.
But, same result.
Is there way to make a TOTAL HARD reset, and maybe redo rooting with the latest unrevoked?
Download the Slax iso and the create a bootable cd, then download unrevoked 3.2.1(for linux) and save it onto the flash.
Boot from slax cd, copy files from flash to desktop, install and follow the onscreen instructions with unrevoked.
I had no issues in Windows 7 x64 Ultimate using unrEVOked so can't really comment, sorry

It's ubuntu dependencies, you should have libstdc++ installed.
try sudo apt-get install libstdc
or if not,... try to find a right package with command apt-cache search libstdc

Go for it ... i see no reason why you shouldnt be able to root and then let us know how it went.
Its strange that some people running HBOOT 0.93 have issues rooting, were any of your phones branded? I read somewhere that vodafone or something with this hboot gives issues when trying to root
I have HBOOT 0.93.0001 and I could root fine.
now i get this error message with using ubuntu live cd:
no device found and in phone bootloader tells me the version would be older....
maybe it depends on the new rom i am havin now?
I have 0.93.0001 and rooted fine with unrevoked3
That hboot 0.93000001, was released as an OTA. This also updated my Desire to that new hboot version. Maybe a try to prevent rooting?
My desire was rooted before but I unrooted it because it needs sending to htc. It's suffering from random reboots when it gets hot. It reboots, then vibrates 7 times. Google it, a lot of people have this problem.
I'm hoping I'll be able to root again when I get it back, because I just neeeeeed to run MIUI..
Ah the above comment comforts me I'll just try unrevoked again.
i tried Unrevoked and all downgrade tools , but always have problem some where , but main problem that after the phone reboot it's always can not find the phone and give me error , i recheck the adb many times and used Linux and windows 7 64 bit .
please help
Hey there,

Tried several RUUs always got Error 131 wrong user-id

Anyone got an Idea how to solve this problem?

You can't use fastboot yet, you still have safe on. Google htc g2 wiki root. Or go to the wiki in xda and look for the vision. Not at a computer or id grab you the link. Here you will find the appropriate way to downgrade and root your phone. You can also go to the cyanogen wiki the instructions are the same

*EDIT*
As for drivers, I always recommend downloading PdaNet to get the drivers if windows doesn't recognize them properly. http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php You don't need to use PdaNet program, but install it and it will ask who is the manufacturer of your phone, select "HTC" and it will install the drivers.
Hello,
While I was preparing my phone to flash cyanogenmod 10.1 to my desire HD i bricked it.
It is now in a bootloop while not being updated yet,
How it came to be:
I Unlocked the bootloader with the help of htcdev
After this I tried to root it which by me succeeded,
Then i tried to do a S-OFF but this failed, and then in my rush i flashed cyanogenmod.
Now I am trieing to revert back my changes to the stock RUU of HTC, but this also gives errors
When i try to reinstall my current version (3.13 with hboot 2.00.0029) it gives an error that the rom is not supported.
Then i try to install the previous version (3.12.405.1) and then it says that there is a newer version and then stops.
The CID of my phone is: HTC__E11
The current HBOOT is: 2.00.0029
Radio: 26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
MICROP: 0438
The phone is unbranded and direct of HTC.
I hope you can help me with this issue.
Kind Regards and Thanks in Advance,
Jasper

I'm a bit Rusty so here it goes. Do double check what I'm about to tell you.
Either:
You also need to flash the rom img after having a recovery installed - do you have one?
Or, relock the bootloader and use glevitans tool.
If those don't work, flash a ruu to start over.

Hi Teichopsia,
Problem is solved, thank for pointing me in the right direction
I fixed the problem by setting the version to 1.1.111.1 with misc_version
After this I flashed the original RUU and it is now working as a charm again.
Thanks again.
