So I'm trying to root a HTC desire, and I'm following the guide on theunlockr.com and I keep getting stuck on the screen that holds the ! sign and its really getting on my nerves now, the guide says I must have h-boot 0.75xxx - 0.83xxx but this desire has h-boot 0.93xxx, could someone perhaps give me some pointers on this subject as Ive been busy trying to root the phone for close to 6 hours now. PM me if you need more details
Thanks

downgrade hboot, then root using the same guide..
You can downgrade to Android 2.1 to root the phone, but this is not at all easy if you have an SLCD screen.

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.

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.

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!

Hi everyone,
Can someone kindly give me a hand rooting my Desire HD. I have installed Visionary R14 but everytime I click TempRoot is says "Rooting Device" and about 30 seconds later the screen goes black then Sense reloads but device still remains unrooted.
Am I doing something wrong or is there any other way to root the phone?
Many thanks,
Dan.
What is the version of the software in your DHD? You need to downgrade if it comes with version other than 1.3.xx
The software version number is 1.84.61.2. How do I go about downgrading? Where can I obtain the software from?
Sorry for the amateur questions...
How about doing some reading in the android development side The stickies contain everything you need to know. You can find a downgrade guide there.
yo, dr9722.
i just recently rooted my phone too.
1st - downgrade to 1.32 (since visionary doesnt work on your current firmware)
2nd - then root.
this video makes it really clear
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkbmKLCkDWg
and watch part 2 and 3, although i think part 3 is for installing custom ROM, but you can be rooted with your stock ROM, like me .
CodeNameUnknown, this is exactly what ive been looking for. Thanks very much.
Im not going to get a chance to give it a go until Tuesday but will post an update then. Thanks again.
your welcome

Downgrade, root, radio s-off, install WWE ruu.
Once u do that you lose root and recovery, so what u need to do is temp root and radio s-on.
And you should have a fully unbranded dhd

How i can root my HTC Desire with official Gingerbread.
AlphaRev18 and unrEVOked (last) dont work.
P.S. Excuse me for my English.
THANKS
you can't. Could try 2.2 RUU to revert back to Froyo and then root.
He can't revert back to Froyo as the Hboot have been upgraded.
Your kinda stuck till someone bring a rooting method or something like that!
i cant downgrade because my hboot version is 1.02.
and its not suported with my Froyo ruu.
What can i do?
Wait until there is a way to root or S-OFF your phone..... if that day will ever come.
hi, what do you think, when will root?
Fantastic! Just switched for a sec to new ROM from my favorite MIUI. . I'm sick seeing old Sense
No shell or DHD method will work?

I ONLY want root on my phone.
Have been playing with many many roms for a year now, but gone back to stock via RUU, my phone still has S-OFF, and I just want root, sudo/superuser function for certain apps, I dont want my CID changed to 111111 or any other included feature that AAHK provides in one single option.
Phone is on latest OTA update, 3.12.405.1, sense 3.0, android 2.3.5
Can anybody shed light on how I can do that?
Thanks in advance

What he said!
Even temp-root will do just fine for me...
I don't want to downgrade my ROM, I don't want custom ROM... I don't even need a custom recovery installed.
I just need root access for 60 seconds so i can run Lucky Patcher.

What about Advanced Ace Hack Kit (AAHK)? You can Google for it; it's not posted here. You could also go to the thread in my signature for some beginner guides.
Super one click only works when you are already S-OFF. Use the advanced ace hack kit.

You probably have an old phone, bought before feb 2011 and had an over the air update.
Please Go to HTCDEV.com and unlock your bootloader.
Then Follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365159
This is same as the second link posted above by a senior member.
It took some patience but it worked really fine.
I will soon be flashing Cyanogenmod, am stuck with exams right now
