Hello All,
I am used to flashing my HTC Touch Pro 2 and other windows mobile devices, but i have just moved onto a desire and am having a nightmare.
I bought the Desire on PAYG from 3 in the UK as they were up to a point supplying unbranded phones, but just my luck I had to have one from the new batch which is branded and cost me £18 to get an unlock code to use the phone on T-Mobile.
So as I stand I have an Sim Unlocked Desire thats branded to 3 UK.
The Rom version is 1.22.771.1 and Hboot 0.80 which I believe is an issue with rooting so that I can use other Roms.
To be honest I am quite happy with 1.22.771.1, but have a strange issue that on some occassions when someone calls me the ringtone starts, but then cuts out and there is no further sound, although they are still calling and I can answer the call.
So I really want to root and then switch roms.
I have read and read and read, and I believe my best chance is unrevoked, as I have seen a couple of posts which say it works with 1.22.771.1, can anyone confirm this?
Also if I flash to a custom rooted Froyo 2.2 rom, will I still be able to return to 1.2x roms should I not like it? As I have also read that unrevoked, does not work with 2.2, or is this just if you use the OTA roms?
If anyone out there can give me a do this 123 guide to get myself sorted I would really apparciate it.
Thanks
Stephen.
Hi
The issue with the ring tone is due to a setting,
Setting > sound > quiet on pick up
In check this option

SeArch for a guide, its easy.
But you can return to any Rom you like, as long as your rooted.
I mention this due to if download the new ota you will lose root, and I don't think a method has been found to root the new 2.2 Rom yet.
sent from my C64
Sorry on my desire, but if you install a 2.2 Rom from xda you won't lose root.
But if download via ota and install you will lose root.
sent from my C64
So are you confirming I can root 1.22.771.1 with unevoked? Then install a rooted 2.2 rom?
Regards the Setting > sound > quiet on pick up should that be on or off? to cure the sound issue as i have that set as off.
thanks stephen.

I can confirm that you can't, and I wouldn't recommend that you try. The clockwork recovery image that unrevoked uses never loads, so the phone can't be updated in any way.
What I tried was slightly more extreme. I attempted to downgrade the HBOOT version, so I could flash a lower version generic RUU ROM. Unfortunately, whilst this worked as far as I can tell, the screen simply stopped working. I could actually receive phone calls, but nothing would come up on the screen.
The bad news is that even after flashing back to the original Three RUU ROM, the screen remained blank. The good news for me is that I'm due to get a replacement phone under warranty.
Personally, I can't even tell if this is a software issue or a hardware issue unique to me (I think it might be hardware as I should at least be able to boot into the bootloader), although this time I'll wait for Three to push the update, as I'm not prepared to take the risk of not being able to use my phone again.

I had Hboot 0.80 on my Desire with 1.21.405.2 and I used the Unrevocked3 method to root. But mine was unbranded from Three.
I now have 2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775) with 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20 Radio.
All works great.
First off I keep getting the phone turn off at random moments, usually twice a day
Widgets disappear from the screen after re boot. and then from the menu so I have to uninstall and re install the app to get them back.
Keyboard can't be changed to any other type.
Tried the iPhone style and the Gingerbread one.
Can't turn off notification for the messaging and Facebook application
Seems it doesn't allow changes to the settings.
Anyone know how to fix these problems, or maybe another ROM thats not so fussy.
On another note. where can I get the standard HTC ROM. I've never had standard Android on this Desire so maybe I could go back to spec.
I'm running Defrost too, but I think it's the best rom around. I haven't got a clue how to fix this, except flash it back to stock and start from scratch.
To do that, just flash an RUU. Have a look at this thread:http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/
Would I have to re unlock root then ?
Also which RUU is the one I need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
UK no network lock
Thanks
That depends on how you bought the phone. If you bought is yourself as a retail product, you should take the WWE RUU. If you bought it via a Telecom provider, you should choose the one from that particular provider.
If you can choose between multiple versions: choose the one that came with your phone. Eg if you had Android 2.1 in the past, you should choose a 2.1 one. All RUU's with version 1.x are 2.1, all 2.x are 2.2.

Ahh, now I know it was an unbranded version but when I got it it already had Defrost on it.
OK cool. I used the exe version of the AUU and it worked. I'm back as standard now. Which isn't to bad. Might leave it like this for now.
As I don't really know what the benefits of the DeFrost are.
Hi,
I just got my dhd back from repair and they updated it to 2.50.405.2 -.-
Is this downgradable yet to root ? I ****in hate standard roms
Please help..

I found rooted this version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155634&highlight=2.50.405.2
But dont know will it help to change ROM.
If some one will find some solution please share it.
gingerbreak 1.2 not working with 2.50
Well, u need clockworkmod to flash it which u need rom manager for. And for rom manager u need root
I think we'll have to wait.. But the 2.37+ downgrade has been in development for about 2 months now.. Taking way to long
Probably waiting to see which bootloaders are unlocked, as promised.
Due out in September.

If u are S-OFF then u can downgrade to 2.36 by using the RUU version then root ur device,

Have you ever rooted a device before?

Thanks a lot ,,, Guide from JSLEnterprises was so amazing and very helpful
can't wait to get my new ROM !
Edit:
DONE!
DHD is now rooted with Radio and ENG S-OFF.
Thank you so much.
Now moving on to flash another rom, and try and figure the whole fing about the radio out..
I successfully downgraded and rooted my desire hd 2.42.415 at last. Thanks a million JSLEnterprises. You are awesome
Trivial Question
I have a trivial question, I am very interested in rooting using this method, however I have recently encountered an issue with my stock rom ever since I did the OTA update to 2.43.611.1 The issue is HTC Sence has stopped unexpectedly window pops up quite often & in talking to telus my provider & HTC them selves, they both say the phone needs to be repaired,
My question since I encountered the problem immediatly upon doing the OTA update should I get it repaired first or just try rooting to see if that fixes it.
Also if possible can I be pointed in the direction of how to return to stock Telus if I end up rooting & the probelm still persists?
My thanks to thoes who have diligently be working & involved in helping others & myself reach root status on higher Build numbers.
Great Work!

The reason you're getting the error after the ota update is the same reason why people get issues after installing custom roms and not wiping their device... the old cache and user data conflicts with the update.
Downgrading and then flashing a custom rom along with flashing an updated radio will remedy the problem. I dont believe you'll want to use the initial radio release, I highly recommend flashing the radio from the 2.52 korean release to your Telus DHD, along with the ril's from that release and replacing the ones in the rom you will flash via cwm recovery. ENG S-OFF is required to flash a new radio or recovery img.
Once you downgrade, you can always return to the stock 2.43.661.1 rom. There is a thread in the Desire HD/Inspire 4G Forum on Driphter.com where I've placed the RUU's of common builds (especially for Telus and AT&T). If returning the device for warranty purposes, you must Radio S-On prior to Installing the stock rom via the RUU. The RUU Itself will set ENG to SHIP, and unroot.
Excellent, Greatly appreciated.
Might try rooting as soon as tonight. Kind of excited to have a functional device again!
I am glad that it worked, i thought OH **** the other day, when i found out that i shouldn't have updated to 2.50, if i was about to root..
Big thanks to you JSL, nice work, and easy tuturial!!
I can see that in /HTC ACE TOOLKIT
is a splash screen changer, and a boot animation changer.. how do i use them?
Cheers guys I will try that downgrade guide. Just a note though. The file fize of the version of HTC Sync for the Desire HD I'm downloading is 66.6MB. I hope that isn't an omen for this to go horrendously wrong

Hi,
I am trying to root my HTC Desire (This is the first time I have tried to root a phone) with a view to putting CM7 on in the end.
I know there are 101 posts on here about rooting and I have read through alot of them but I still am not having any joy, here is the story so far ........
1) Loaded Hboot Drivers
2) Removed HTC Sync
3) Downloaded unRevoked3
4) Data reset the phone (Both hard and soft)
5) plugged in the phone
6) made sure usb debugging was on
7) made sure non market place apps was on
unRevoked throws a firmware to new error
The phone is running:
Hboot 0.093.00001
Android 2.2.2
My question is have i missed something really simple or is my firmware just to new and ill have to wait for a new version of unrevoked ?
The guides I have read seem to suggest that 0.093 would work.
Thanks for your help
2.2.2 ota update is not working with unrevoked (a few posts been made) try revolutionary.io and dont forget to flash superuser zip
What's your OS?
Version of unrevoked3?
I'm running Vista on the PC, Android 2.2.2 and unrevoked 3.3.2

I cannot confirm what has been said about 2.2.2 not working with unrevoked, but even if that is not true, you should not be using unrevoked 3.32. That was designed to get around a plugged exploit in an arabian rom.
Everyone except people on the arabian rom should user 3.21
That said, I dont know what the softeware version for 2.2.2 is so I cannot confirm what has already been said.
Any Brandings? 0² might have some problems. And wich Recovery are you using?

That's exactly what I wanted to say. Use the latest 3.2x and it should work. If not try it on a PC that runs XP.
Thanks for the replies. I have a couple of questions about them.
rootSU/[email protected]
3.2.2 was the latest release I downloaded from the main link on the site. Should I try one version back. If so any ideas where I can pick it up ?
Kayon
I haven't used a recovery I have just Factory reset the phone and tried to root it with unrevoked.

Yes use 3.21.
Look at the download link for 3.32 and change the 3.32 to 3.21 in the link
Give both versions a try. 3.2.1 comes with a revised timing of root process for more reliability. If this doesn't work try the 3.2.2 which has the rageagainstthecage exploit reimplemented. I'd say at least one should work. If not try both versions under XP.

I have tried both versions and no joy on either (I haven't tried on an xp box yet).
I think I will try and pick up an old wildfire from ebay to play with. That way I wont brick my only phone if I try other ways of rooting lol
A quick question about revolution.io, I noticed it is in beta anyone know how stable it is ?

Hello guys
My friends DHD had mainboard changed (warranty) but now he is not able to receive even gingerbread update. so the guy has to stick with Froyo for now. He does not want to get root just the the regular updates
At software menu it says that phone is up to date haha
Any suggestions?
is it possible to force an update? (if it is not getting gingerbread so I doubt that he gets ICS later on)
Regards
To be honest I'd root it...do it for him if he's worried about it...his main boards been changed neways lol so I doubt begging else will happen..there's loads of benefits to rooting her neway

What is your friends firmware version? Not android version, but the HTC Firmware.
Should look something like. x.xx.xxx.x - e.g. 1.32.405.6
Software version 2.50.405.2
Kernel 2.6.35.10
Baseband 12.54.60.25U_24.09.04.11
Hope will do any help
Anyhow the question is if (even phone is rooted) it is possible to apply updates without changing ROM?
I have rooted my phone and already tried a bunch of ROMs (currently using Revolution HD 6.3.1) but thats not for my friend. As she wants to have regular HTC rom and get updated version of software.
thanks again
If your looking for a fairly clean rom try leedroids he only works with official releases...there's a list in the Dec section of purely stock Roms bit just rooted I'd go there..If its a lady I'd try the bliss Roms they were designed for the woman apparently lol
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
thanks arknailed7754 for your post
though my main question still remains if it is possible to force update to original rom. (rooting is not a problem)
regards
Froyo was 2.2..gingerbread started at 2.3 so he's over the original release..I think you can apply the update through adb..with an official ruu. I'm not as knowledgeable as some on here but that's how you can push the phone to the new update..the official are also in Dec section..there's probably a guide in there if you need help applying,surprised he can update though HTC released the official sense 3.0 etc last year q4.
As I said I might be talking out of my ass but go to Do a search in Google with your keywords its in there..
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
If your unrooted & don't want root, just want to update to the latest firmware then download the RUU in this post -->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22871910&postcount=33
Before you run it, make sure you've got HTC Sync installed (for the USB drivers).
Your current firmware is a WWE x.xx.405.x and matches that of the update posted 3.12.405.1. You should update with no issues. It will however wipe your device, so make sure you backup what you can before you run the RUU.
Thanks for your help.
Will try as soon as get my hends on friends phone.
Will post results.

I had the same problem with my DHD. Whenever I connected to WiFi, I never got the update. What I did was when I connected my DHD to PC, I selected "Internet Passthrough". And voila, I got a message a few minutes later that an update to Gingerbread is available. Try this and I hope this will resolve the problem.
