Just noticed this when I was browsing through an old Desire ROM, I know we can't downgrade HBOOT but if we do manage to be able to find a way to do it, maybe this HBOOT will have R/W access, I really do not know, just throwing it in to the wild.

We can now http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/310970/how-to-downgrade-hboot/
Didn't realise someone found it already, thanks for the update.
I understand the downgrade method, but does this SPL have to be put into an RUU for it to be flashable? Or is there another method I can use to flash it?
Just tweeted Paul about this, i hope this is a good development
Guys its not S-OFF or less protected, its simply from a usedebug RUU released a long time ago. As described in my rom I already have it and tested all the different things to see if its less protected, which it was not.
Yeah Paul just confirmed it on twitter, dead end im afraid;(
Hi,
Got my desire yesterday and OTA upgraded to 2.2. Now have a hboot of 0.92 - not sure what is was before upgrade. I didnt realise that this might balls up my chances of getting root.
Looked around these parts and think that it's probably impossible to do. Unless anyone knows different am I just playing a waiting game?
Thanks.
debully.
U can downgrade hboot to 0.82

oh bollo**s - now I have a black screen from following these instructions. Presumably because I have a SLCD screen and downgraded to .80? Now trying to find out how to fix this - please reply if I am wasting my time...

""After you've done the steps above you will have the following:
Blank and wiped device
Firmware: 2.1-update1 UNROOTED!
HBOOT: 0.80
Basband(Radio): 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2
Kernel: [email protected]#1
Build: 1.21.405.2 CL174215 release-keys
With that you can root and flash anything you want""
i had the OTA 2.2 Froyo with hboot of 0.92 and used that guide to downgrade my hboot so i could root and then upgrade to a Froyo Rom that doesnt increase th hboot to 0.92.
its really easy tbh
haha! easy for you! I'm a retard!
EDIT - actually, you dont have an SLCD device do you? Otherwise downgrading to .80 would've given you the blank screen...not so retarded after all.

Sorry for the confusion, on a steep learning curve here after 6 years of WM. Thanks for the link Bob, wish I'd found that in the first place.
Hopefullly my phone is flashing now, kinda hard to tell with just a blank screen, but everyone says leave for 20 mins....fingers crossed!

no worries, good luck, those instructions sound crazy hard to me!
got my screen back - took hours. Take heed if your newbish, on an SLCD with .92 - getting root is a minefield!

is the only way I can see of getting root on my phone. As you say this is crazy hard!
I don't like the idea of all that blind working in order to change usb mode. I'll wait until someone makes it reasonably easy. Cop out I know but last night was scary!

Hey, I'm gonna come with a really noobish question I gues... I've read alot of guides and such about this, but I still don't find anything that states it clearly, and it can get kinda confusing.
I have an HTC Desire that I want to root, it has HBoot 0.92 and OTA Froyo 2.2, I don't think this is a problem anymore though?
Now, I believe my phone is unbranded/unlocked - any way to check?
And what radio would I need to use? I'm from denmark and the tele company is called Telia... Does it matter?
And since I'm from denmark, I can't buy any paid apps off the market, and it pisses me off, rooting will fix that right?
I'd like to use the OpenDesire ROM. But it's a bit confusing with all kinds of topics refering to eachother, and the "Ultimate guide on rooting" says that I need HBoot 0.80 and a current rom of 1.15 (or something like that), I have 2.2 >.<
Thanks in advance.
Go to Settings>About phone>Software information
If your phone has S/W 2.09.405.8 then you're on a generic Desire - which is a good thing!!
Next is to check the box specification - if it says you've got a 3.7" AMOLED screen then you can downgrade the HBOOT and root your phone. If it doesn't say AMOLED then you've got a bit more work involved and the information you need is in the ROM Development forum
Hey, thanks for the quick reply!
I got everything you said.
So that means I can just use Unrevoked?
And how about the market? That's one of the main reasons for me to root, so that I'd be able to access the full market?
Bump? Or something
there's no way to root a Desire with the Bootloader HBoot 0.92 known yet, which you got after you've upgraded to Android 2.2.
This means you have to downgrade the bootloader first, root it with unrevoked, ...
There are several guides out there.
But the important thing is, that you must downgrade the Bootloader in order to root your device.

When I tried to downgrade before it went through all the processes and on the last one it failed due to it being locked to orange so if this works big thank you

ahh so i've just had a look at this, and its exactly the same post i read and tried... so im sorry but it doesnt work!
plus i can't make a goldcard just dont understand the step by step, anyone else out there who can help?
also made a slight mistake with my software version... its as follows
Android Vers... 2.2.1
Build Number 1.84.61.2 CL333804 Release Keys
Software 1.84.61.2
What have you tried so far, and where did it fail.
failed on the last test, because its locked to orange and they have their own os or sumit along those lines, but it was the last last thing that went tits up on the downgrade!

after trying the downgrade again, ive down everything it asks, im now on the bootloader screen and its come up CID incorrect Update Fail! press power to reboot
thats the part im stuck on, so either i need to unlock my phone... or try and find the 1.32 software that orange released part from that i have no idea what to do
Did you create a goldcard? If you successfully made a goldcard it wouldn't fail on the CID.
no i can't mate, i have no idea how to create one... ive tried to follow step by step guides and whatnot but i just can't get my head around it, its probably so easy i could do it blind but yeh im not that techi to work it out... would it help if i pay someone to unlock my phone? i seriously have no clue... i can jailbreak an iPhone with no issues whatsoever but thats a iPhone lol
Without a goldcard you can't downgrade. Unlocking will just remove the SIM lock, it won't root or otherwise modify you handset.
If your quick & install TeamViewer I can attempt to make a goldcard for you from your computer.
will do mate that would be awesome, ok where would i download teamveiwer?
scrap that ive downloaded it
Once you've installed it PM me the ID and 4 digit password.
ivve got that up and running
PM me the correct password, it should be 4 numbers
thanks everyone, and especially thanks to AndyHarney for creating my "goldcard" after many weeks of frustraition ive finally rooted that mofo lol, all tho now after all that ive forgotten what i was actually doing in the 1st place lol... i'm sure i wanted to put on Gingerbread or a custom rom
if anyone fancys giving me a hand with that i'd be seriously greatful lol
I personally use MrGaraks MIUI 1.41. Its iPhone-esque in appearance but it is essentially a very heavily skinned CyanogenMod 7. It gets better every week too as MIUI updates weekly on a Friday.
Your spoilt for choice really when it comes to ROMs.
So are you now rooted, with clockwork mod recovery?
Hey guys just got my DHD, it has already been upgraded to 2.37 Build, i cant find an answer clear enough for me to go ahead with rooting...
