after a nightmare of trying to downgrade from a 2.2 upgrade that i rushed into
Im now currently on
SLCD Screen Desire
HTC 2.1-update1 the t2 SLCD HTC RUU
ClockworkMod v2.5.0.1 SLCD
Hboot 0.83
rooted with unrevoked
anyway my question is
If i update to 2.2 OTA now will i lose my root?
If so how can i get to 2.2 on the setup i have and keep my root.
Im fairly new at this so any advice would be great...I just now the SLCD screen is causing problems when trying to do things the normal way
Thanks
All official updates will remove root.
The only way to run froyo rooted is to install a rooted froyo ROM. You can install that with your custom recovery.
Thanks. Any suggestions.
I've found lots on search but would like a good suggestion
A link would be great. Tried opendesire but got stuck on boot screen
Cheers
If you just want froyo but rooted then this:

I had the same situation after doing the blind-root procedure on my SLCD desire, and so far i've only tested...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741663
which is the official HTC 2.2 with root support, busybox, openvpn, ext4, wifi-n, and optional A2SD+.
It works fine with the SLCD screen, and i'm probably going to keep it till the official HTC kernel source is released.
The procedure is install the latest radio with the clockworkmod recovery console's install zip from sd card option, reboot via menu (an installer graphic pops up after this reboot), then once that's completed, install the main rom via the same recovery install zip option.
P.S. i tried opendesire first and got caught in a boot loop too, i think due to the lack of an ext3/4 partition on my SD.

Hi everyone,
I've just got a brand new Desire from O2 Ireland (branded) with HBOOT version 0.83. I tried to root the device using unrEVOked. It partially worked...
I have superuser permissions on my apps menu. However, I can't get into recovery. When I try to get into recovery, the screen just goes black.
I believe this may be something to do with possibly having a new SLCD screen, which causes black screens.
Does anyone know if it's possible to root this new HBOOT 0.83 phone? Can I install a recovery that works, or at the very least revert to stock recovery?
And if it's not possible to root at all, can I upgrade to stock android 2.2. (O2 Ireland haven't released the update yet; checking for updates in the phone results in it saying there are no updates available, even thought the phone is running Android 2.1)
Thanks in advance for any help.
unrevoked doesn't really support hboot 0.83, as you have found.
You cannot recover to stock O2 firmware because there is no available RUU recent enough for SLCD phones. You will need to use this RUU with a goldcard:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...1.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe
From this you can upgrade to stock FroYo OTA.
Unrevoked works with 0.83 + 2.1 just fine, after you root the only problem is that the recovery screen is black. The recovery is working, the only problem is that the kernel in it doesn't support the SLCD.
I have patched the recovery with the latest version of teamdesire's kernel and it works fine on SLCD devices. You can find it here: http://crop.floodbit.org/~defer/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img
It is flashable with unrevoked.
EDIT: this is a temporary fix until koush updates the kernel in recovery.
Yeah, I meant to say SLCD phones not 0.83 hboot.
Thanks for the quick response guys
I just tried installing that new recovery and it seems to work perfectly! Thank you so much!

I have my HTC EVO Unrevoked on Version 2.1 I only to use Wifi-Tether, now an update came FOTA and when I try to install it starts but hang out need some help plezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Unrevoked gives problems with the latest OTA update. Search for OTA_Supersonic_3.26.651.6-1.47.651.1_releasem24cfnusi9dsrr6i.zip . Rename it to update.zip and put it in your EVO's SD card. Turn off the phone and boot into recovery, install the update.zip and that will do the job. Warning: It eliminates root privileges.
I rooted through Unrevoked and had the same problem. I just installed the stock rom from shipped-roms.com and did the OTA that way. I really wish I just flashed to a custom ROM instead.
If you want to keep root (if you even have it fully) you will need to install one of these ROMs in the dev section. You may want to try another root method and then update to 2.2 with one of these ROMs. You will lose your WiFi tether (free of course) if you update to the FOTA update... for now.
Ok i hope that there is not a thread with this i searched but i did not find it...
There is a lot of people saying that they found som eproblems with unrevoked 3.21 because of ClockworkMod...
I have some questions about it since I am about to root my desire with unrevoked 3.21.
The first question is ween i rrot my phne it will install su (i think thats a fact), and then it will istall ClockworkMod Recovery Image. Is this rigth?
Then i will like to ask what is the problem and wen does it happend (i read something about loop in recovery).
And finnaly wy do i need to use ClockworkMod if i dont want to install a cosltum rom?
1) unrEVOked works like it should, it's stable in it's new release.
2) It gives you root, but not a custom recovery image
3) If you don't plan on installing any ROMs or take any backups you don't need ClockworkMod
Bootloops normally occur when there's something wrong in the ROM.
Not from using unrEVOked.

This is exactly what I dont understand. I just rooted my desire with unrevoked 3.21 and not as you say the recovery image has been installed and it is version 2.5.0.7, I guess the latest.
Then I read other posts where people suggest to use rom manager and one of the options is "install clockworkmod" ... but if I have already installed it why should I need it again? Does this mean that the recovery image installed by unrevoked could be deleted somehow..?
Ok, my question would be :-
"How do I use UnrEVoked3 to JUST install su and superuser.sdk and not install a new, unwanted, recovery img?"
I just want the Desire rooted but not otherwise modified from my carriers default configuration.

I tried running unrevoked3 on my unbranded HTC Desire. It currently has HBOOT 0.80 and its a PVT1 model. I had previously rooted it with a guide before unrevoked was out, and used a flashable zip of clockworkmod to install ROMS. it currently has an MCR one.
I wanted to install Oxygen, And followed that thread's suggestion and wanted to install AmonRA's recovery. That led to trying unrevoked.
Now, when using unrevoked, i get to the part where it says 'waiting for root.. safe to restart if this does not work' - I have to remove the battery and start over there, does not restart on its own. After that, i get the 'internal error cannot find misc' error and nothing special happens, i go back to my normal ROM, and the recovery is the stock android one.
Any ideas?
From what I can see, I think you are trying to root over your current root?
I think your best bet will be to unroot with a stock RUU then reroot with unrevoked.
Yup, Restoring to the latest RUU and running unrevoked3 again worked. Thanks!
Glad I could help
Hello,
I have a recently purchased Desire from 3 Moblie UK.
Bravo PVT4 20000 erasesize
FROYO 2.2
HBOOT .93
Baseband version - 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14
I have installed Unrevoked 3.31 and Clockwork recovery mod.
All went as expected and I have successfully tested Oxygen gingerbread roms.
I have installed a backup using clockwork to restore my stock 2.2 sense ui etc - also completed fine.
Now I am trying to return totally to stock - unrooting and removing clockwork from the recovery loader.
I have tried:
PB00IMG.zip v3 leak (placed in root of sd card)
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release ( i extracted the rom.zip and placed in the root of my sd card)
upon booting into recovery mode it says both of these are unsuitable.
Can anyone point me at a ruu that should return my phone to stock?
Thanks!
There aren't any recent 3 UK RUUs available, you could use a gold card to flash the 2.29.405.5 one but 3 might not fix it as it's on a different ROM.
The problem you have is being on a PVT4 HBOOT you're going to have an SLCD and the 3 UK RUUs about are for AMOLED only
So am I effectively stuck rooted and therefore also going to be unable to use OTA updates?
Yes but custom ROMs will be updated to newer builds as and when they are available
Why do you want to go back to stock? Only reason would be for warranty returns

Exactly that reason. I don't need to warranty but I'd like to know I have that option. That and just for the 'because' of it.
Anyone ever get the answer to this?
ie ruu that works with pvt4 - 2.3.3 wwe leaves much not working.
