[Q] Htc desire not booting

I recently attempted to root my desire with unrevoked. It seemed to go well and i attempted to flash a custom rom. I made a nandroid back up too. However, now the device is stuck in boot loop and i can't flash another rom or restore from nandroid backup. I've tried pushing roms from fastboot, running the telstra RUU and nothi g has worked. The closest i have got to it working is on the bootloader, it automatically detects that i have Pb99DIAG.zip and tries to install that but says it cannot verify signature.
I have a pvt4 desire with hboot version 0.93.0001 if that is any help
I apologise if this has been posted before but i have been tring to get this fixed for ages Any help will be appreciated.

Why can't you flash another rom?

I've tried heaps of roms and none of them seem to install. They all say the rom cannot be found or something.

What recovery do you use?
Also does the sd card mount if you try that in recovery? What does it say when you try to connect it to usb?

Did u integrate amonra-recovery in unrevoked before starting to root with it? Imo the standardrecovery in unrevoked, clockworkmod, does not work with pvt4- desires.

I used amonra. When i try to mount the ext sdit just comes up with an error saying i cant....

Toggle signatur verify (amonra-recovery>other>toggle signatur vetify) and then try to flash again.

So you S-OFFed and then ran Telstra RUU ?
That is supposed to bring your phone to stock. Now you are S-ON or OFF ?

My phone is s-on. When i rooted it with unrevoked it didn't turn s-off. I tried that signature verify thing and it still won't work :S

Rooting and S-OFF-ing are two completely different things. You got confused.
You have to do them both in order to install certain ROMs.
Please check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
Which ROM do you wish to install ?

i want tog back to the telstra 2.2 rom. I have rooted my phone, but i can't do the s-off thing aith alpharev cause it won't turn on properly

[Q] "rooting" process failed...plz help

hi friends..
while trying to rooting my htc desire through unrevoked3...
i am getting an error
"error: failed to get root. is your firmware too new?"
like this..
can anybody plz help me
why this thing is happening??
i am using official android 2.3 version on my desire
any suggestion plz

When you start your phone with Vol- & Power, whats is displayed on the white screen? Somewhere something like PVT4 maybe? If so, you can't install the "standard" recovery which comes with unrevoked3.
So what you got to do is:
1. Downloaf AmonRa v2.0.1 (from here for example: http://www.brutzelstube.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.1.img
2. In unrevoked choose the menu File/Custom Recovery and after that choose the img file
3. connect your phone via USB
Worked for me as well a few months ago.

I had the same problem with unrevoked. I used revolutionary, and it worked great.
visit revolutionary(dot)io
I used this in conjunction with a factory reset, which wiped me back to 2.1.

Use revelolutionary. Its a tool for instant s-off, root and custom recovery.

Had same problem with Unrevoked, resolved it by downgrading my system using some older RUU update. But in that time I didn't know Revolutionary - using Revolutionary is definetly much easier than downgrading whole system.

Unrevoked works for 2.2 but not for 2.3. Furthermore, it does not give s-off and flash custom recovery (CWM).

This a solution for the MISC-Errors when starting Clockworkmod Recovery (CWM). If one can start CWM, it means the root process with unrevoked started and finished successfully. But here the root process can't even be started, so your solution won't work.
@ashuonweb:
As PreScoper mentionend, use Revolutionary to get S-OFF and root access for your phone. But read documentary page very carefully before you do anything!

@ all...
thanx to all..
my problem solved by using revolutionary...
again millions of thanks to all above..

[Q] Unable Root HTCWildfire-A333

Hi Guys,
Having Problem in Rooting for my WildFire-A333.
Find Below are my Specifications.And Yes I tried both SuperClick and UnRevoked but it seems doenst work.
Model:HTCWildFire-A333,
S-ON(Unable to do S-OFF),
HBoot:1.02.0000,
Android 2.2.1,
Kernel Version:2.6.32.21-g6c55ee4
HELP!!!!
Thanks

How did you get that hboot, did the phone come with it? Never seen it before. Try to go to revolutionary.io and try to downgrade your hboot so you can s-off. After you have s-off you can then root and custom rom like mad ;-) if you can't downgrade the you can go to htcdev and get your bootloader *unlocked* but that will void your warrenty and they will definitely know about it.

Looks like you have updated the HBOOT from HTCDev site.
If yes you can use HTCDev site Bootloader unlock tool to unlock your bootloader which will make your device rootable. (it will still show S-ON though).

Nop,HBOOT came with this device itself.
i tried both htcdev,they says unable to bootloader for this ROM.

The HBOOT must have been updated somehow. Is it a new phone or did you get it second hand.
Did you try HTCDev method from the steps after the HBOOT update is done.

Nop its not updated it is as it is which i bought almost 1 year ago.
Its Not Second Hand
Yes I tried and result was unsuccessful.(ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED)
it says your rom version is not supported currently,but there will be an update soon that will be supported.
i have selected "hTC Asia India" as carrier. is it wrong??

I believe first you tried to update HBoot which failed then you tried to unlock bootloader without updating HBoot and that also failed.
If that is the case you have two options.
1. Search the forums to downgrade your HBoot to 1.01.0001, if you can successfully downgrade your Hboot you can use Revolutionary to get S-OFF.
2. Wait sometime to see if HTCDev site gets updated with support of your ROM and then try again.
Also if your existing ROM is India specific then you should select "HTC Asia India"
Mine is 2.25.720.1 CL299250 release-keys which is for India.

hello ,
i unlocked my bootloader using htc dev website ,and then i rooted the phone using gingerbreak v1.2.
the phone got rooted successfully but when i tried flashing CM7 on my phone ,through rom manager ,my phone restarted after asking superuser for permission .
after the restart , the phone hangs with a white screen with HTC logo .
i had flashed clockworkmod recovery before getting CM7 .
i tried going to recovery from bootloader and from pc .
please help guys ,i am really stuck in here .

sorry but this may help. Install CM7 using recovery not through rom manager. This may fix your problem.I hope =)

Hi.. u just try rooting your phone again using "unlockroot" one click tool(www.unlockroot.com) (as i did) or use htc super tool ...
Later install cwm recovery via fastboot method..plzz dont do it via rom manager as it just gives a temp recovery...
Then you can install custom rom's by going into cwm recovery..
IMP: make a backup of ur existing rom b4 flashing a custom rom and do a data reset b4 flashing..
hope this helps....

Still Not working Guys,please help I am just fed up with this message"low memory disk space"

Sorry - I have followed the HTCDev side and I have unlocked the bootloader (it shows nice 'UNLOCKED' on power+volume down on boot). However I cannot find a way to actually root the device. How can I do it?

Thanks. I have successfully flashed clockworkmod. Then I've made nandroid backup (and flashed cyanogenmode - it seems to be much more responsive).
The only alteration was that I have used the fastboot utility from Google Android SDK.

Happy that you succeeded.
The fastboot utility you needed to download from the suggested post was also from Google Android SDK albeit an older version.

you do NOT need unrevoked. Forget it, delete it.
Flash recovery (look at my guide, or download 4EXT recovery updater from market).
Backup ROM
FULL wipe (delete every partition apart from sd-card)
flash a rom you want.
Easy.

Use your other android phone for the goldcard. Then flash the 2.2 WWE RUU. If that fails, use the 2.3 one.

Thanx bortak, i'll try..

Bortak, why adb still cant find my device? for Fastboot it's ok...

I'm preety sure you won't be able to do what you're up to with Alpharev cause you have 0.93 hboot, you need revolutionary for that.
But, if you use 2.2 RUU it can happen to downgrade hboot to 0.88 so then you can try with Alpharev.

Alpharev is ok with 0.93(mine was 0.93 and 2.29.405.5) but it is obsolete and requires stock rooted ROM (unrevoked root must be done prior s-off procedure), revolutionary can do everything in one go I prefer Revolutionary

1. S-Off
2. Upgrade my Desire to Cyanogenmod 7 or Cyanogenmod 9 (which is stable...)

Like kotag said revolutionary. But before flashing of rom I suggest you to upgrade recovery, because revolutionary installs some old version. My recommendation is 4ext, install 4ext recovery updater and then flash recovery from it.
