I was at a friends last night going through the root process and after 3 hrs we got stuck. Part of the problems seem to stem from the fact that he is running windows 7 64 bit. none the less I'm hoping someone can help me out. currently my phone is rooted, cwm is installed, s-off I've done a titanium backup, but I can't get the update to "take". currently here's where I'm at:
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: 1.00.03.04.06
Kernel version: 2.6.29-cc1c2268
htc-kernel(at sign)and18-2 #1
Build number: 1.22.605.2 CL161494 release-keys
Software number: 1.22.605.2
After getting to the point last night where the instructions (on this site) said either run the RUU or wait for the OTA I knew I'd get the nag to run the OTA in a few minutes (lol). Well when I ran it it just hung for 30-40 minutes with an exclamation point and the droid guy. Finally we popped the battery and tried running the RUU with no success. does the RUU have to be run from a cpu that has HTC sync?
Any thoughts on what I need to do next would be greatly appreciated! THX
Install the rom from the sd card through Recovery
Sorry real noob..what rom? Is this the same as the ruu?

One click root for evo
1. This should be in q&a
2. Welcome
3. Just use unrevoked its a program on ur computer that does it all for you.

That's not true right now actually. Some of the Evo's that have been sold lately have a new H-BOOT image that hasn't been cracked yet. They are working on it though.
I'm guessing I'm one of those users with the new H-Boot image......
... since I followed the step by step method, and it doesn't seem to work. Considering I just got this phone today, I'm guessing I have the newer HBoot image on it. As for what happens, when I'm running the Unrevoked3 software, it gets through the recovery screen where you scroll down to HBoot USB then reboots back up the phone instead of writing the custom recovery.
Just in case this might help, my phone has the following software version:
Android Version 2.2

Any help you guys can provide would be much appreciated.
I found the HBOOT version when I pulled the battery, then pressed the power button and Down volume key at the same time to bring up the bootloader. It's at the top of the white screen.
Here is the link to thread where a couple devs are working on this and trying to get it into Unrevoked.

I have a non-working phone at the moment.
I unbranded from O2 stock and th phone updated to 2.2 from 2.1 fine.
There was a minor update OTA after that when things starded to go wrong. I had forgotten to put the gold card in before the update and it broke the wifi.
Got a downgrade tool back to HTC 2.1 and it worked ok, I just ignored any updates.
After a couple of months I decided to try updating again and did some research and found a couple of guides. This didn't work though, and now I'm stuck with a 2.2 phone that I can't seem to do anything with.
The downgrade does not work, it now says CID incorrect! Update Fail.
I have tried a couple of different cards in the phone but the phone says there is no card installed. I can't access the card form a PC either via USB. So I can't make a gold card - step 1 in just about every guide I've read.
I have tried Unrevoked and that just hangs or gets so far in and fails depending on the version I use.
The phone when turned on and left to itself reboots occasionally.
I'm also getting 'Process sytem not responding' errors.

Get the stock o2 RUU and flash that (gold card not needed) then root again
I have been thinking about rooting my HTC Desire, but I want to be able to unroot if I need to. Problem is I can only find RUUs for Verizon and I have a U S Cellular phone. Would Verizon's work for USCC?

Ok, you know I hate it when this happens. Was going to reply saying that I had tried the OS RUU I have several times and it never works. I was going to reply saying this but I though 'I'll just have one more go, at least then I can report what the exact error was'.
What do you know, it bloody well worked.
I'm stumped, must have done something different this time that I hadn't every other time.
Just have to remember where I put my backups now.
barfaroo there is now a ruu for the Us Celluar desire. it can be downloaded from the HTC site. I recommen rooting a doing the S-off to it before updating. If you do not.(which im stuck at not) after the update you will nto beable to root, until there is an update for rooting the new froyo for uscc.
I recently lost my HTC EVO 4g which had been rooted. Obviously the new one came unrooted and i need to root it. I previously had done the one-click root using unrevoked forever in order to obtain Superuser permissions before flashing a custom rom. When i attempt to do this with my new EVO, after running unrevoked it runs until the point of "Searching for root, Ok to restart if this doesnt work" at which point it gets stuck. What do i do to make it continue in the process and root the phone?
I removed htc sync and have the universal android drivers in place
My phone is as follows:
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: 2.15.00.11.19

EDIT: I accidently typed unrevoked forever. I meant to say that I used unrevoked 3 and that is when this problem occured

Im sorry, i dont know why i wrote unrevoked forever. I did use unrevoked 3 and this is what happened
I think I found the problem i didnt have the current unrevoked 3.3 and only had 3.21 i will try the new one and post back
I figured it our on my own with a little more research on my part. just wasn't using the most up to date version of unrevoked 3 so it wasn't compatible with the most recent OTA. I fixed it. Its rooted now. Thanks

No need to downgrade.

how to root gingerbread
hi everybody,
forgive me if I' writing in the wrong place but for me has been enough difficult to get here..
I'm a rookie android user and I've been flying over the forums for the last three days, I'm really getting crazy.
Here are the specifics of my phone (branded):
android version 2.3.3
kernel version 2.6.35.10-gd2564fb
software number 2.50.405.2
and here's the problem:
I have purchased an AR drone and I'm trying to get it connected so I visited the following link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072281
seems that the first thing i need is a ROOTED Desire HD . I have tried every thing. Visionary (in different releases installed with ASTRO) seems not to be working. When i select Temproot now, after a while, the screen turns black. I waited for several minutes but nothing happened. So I needed to exit the program selecting "home". At that point it didn't allow me to rerun the app, I needed to reboot the phone to get it working again but no success.
So I tried GINGERBREAK 1.2 but after 25 minutes the rebooting process was still going on and I guessed that something was not working properly (as usual), so I stopped it. I think there is also a problem with Superuser (v 2.3.6.3), infact when I try to update it, it says "an error occurred and su was not updated. A zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sdcard, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary" (by the way...sorry for my inexperience, but what does "flash something" mean????).Anyway, my phone doesn't reboot on clockwork recovery.
Moreover, upon opening Rom manager (v4.3.2.4) it tells me that I must root my phone to get it working (of course) and that it cannot find Superuser at "system/bin/su" or "system/xbin/su". Guess what! I don't have such files on my phone.....
At this time i don't know what else I can do, I'm relly frustrated.
Can anyone help me out? keep in mind that if you have any kind of solution, I need some very "plain" explanation like if you were talking to your 5 years old son, please
Thanks
If we update with software number 2.50.405.2 can we root?
No, firmware > 2.37 cannot be rooted.
Thanks for the info, I guess I have to get rid of my AR Drone
I downloaded the Froyo Stock Rom for the Inc 2, renamed it PG32IMG.zip and put it in the root of my SD Card.
I rebooted the phone, holding the power and volume down buttons.
The phone sees the file and starts the process.
After a minute, I get the message "Main Version is older! Update Fail! Press <POWER> to reboot.
I am already on HBOOT-0.97.0000
The phone is not rooted and currently running Android 2.3.3, Software # 2.18.605.3
As crazy as it sounds, ultimately I'm trying to get to the latest stock version from Verizon but software update isn't seeing any OTA updates.
Which leads me to 2 questions:
1) Am I doing something wrong?
2) Can I get the latest Verizon version 5.10.605.9
Many thanks in advance........
Froyo isn't the latest version for this device. Gingerbread is
Gingerbread 2.3.4 Firmware (Comes with hboot .98 latest version): http://jellybellys.minus.com/mvivow#1
Device: HTC Incredible 2
RUU Version: 5.10.605.9

You can flash this even with S-ON.
You get the main version error because the .zip you are trying to flash is currently older than what you have currently. This one poasted, will give you HBoot .98 too
Information came from here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18873-ruu-htc-incredible-2-signed-ruus-pg32imgzip-sticky/
Thanks!....
Any insight why the phone wouldn't see any of the OTA Updates? All I got was the phone was up to date
HTC Tech Support had me dial #*#*CHECKIN#*#* (may have gotten the *'s and #'s backwards in this post).
The Checkin was successful but the phone still didn't see any updates.
Strange?
Thanks again!!!
mine did the same thing. would not receive the update. the method above worked for me. thanks
Link is broke no dl there
