Hi,
I bought an unlocked unbranded (unrooted) HTC Desire 2.1 and did the Froyo update with unrooted 2.2 ROM (OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2 ...).
Everything (almost) works fine, yet I'm annoyed by not being able to use apps for rooted devices like Titanium Backup or Move2SD Enabler, I always have to use the cable for adb shell.
So the question is how to root my device with Froyo?
My current config:
Software number: 2.09.405.8
HBOOT-0.92.0001
RADIO-5.09.00.20
Thanks a lot.
You can root using unrevoked 3.2. It's still in a testing phase at the moment but it worked perfectly for my Desire. In order to get it you have to join their irc channel.
Also works with 0.93 BootL. and 2.10 ROM?
Thanks.
Yep, works fine
Thanks.
Can someone pls tell me what unrevoked 3.2 will do?
What is the process I should follow (being already in 2.2 but unrooted)?
Once it's out full instructions are included but in a nutshell you run the file and connect your Desire and thats about it
Just tried that, but something is not working as supposed. I just downloaded and launched the reflash app (on a linux box) but after a reboot (bootloader menu was shown) unrevoke fails complaining about not able to complete.
I have an unbranded Desire with software 2.09.405.8 and hboot 0.92.
Any clue? Tried googling but no luck.
Bye
Will
You should also install drivers for it... and make sure that you set you phone to debug mode. For the drivers there should be a link in the same folder.

Hi, I`m a complete NOOB when it comes to Android, had my HTC Desire a few days now, it came pre-instaled with Vodafone UK bloatware on it.
As far as I know it the OLED version, on box says model A8181
Currentley i have Software v1.24
Hboot v0.83
ALL on a sim locked to vodafone UK.
I was looking at a guide on a different forum for De-branding the Desire.
I have made a Goldcard already
It seems ok but have a few questions:
Is hboot v0.83 ok to begin with for the process ?, i thought v0.80 was the best one ?
I was looking at the Un-revoked3 guide....would the ROOT with that app be done first ?, OR Is it a NEW process after the de-brading ?
thanks
All you'll need is a goldcard. See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741836
thanks.
Done the Goldcard, looks like the Hboot 0.83 (which I have) is ok from what I can tell, one of my main Questions,
Also can I just ROOT after Installing froyo update, is the unrevoked app ok?, will it mean Re-installing a ROM or does it `add-onto` an existing install ??
cheers.

Don't install Froyo as that'll flash Hboot to 0.92. unrEVOke now and flash a ROM from the Dev forum. There is a rooted stock HTC 2.2 there if you're just looking for Froyo + Root.
I'm using LeeDroid 1.8 ROM on my previously VF bloatwared Desire ('unrevoked' to root), very happy.
Ummm ok, I have tried loads of times to do the De-brand, apparentley the VF software v1.24 I have stops De-branding as it just times out the Bootloader...it eventually gives a `usb error 171` every time.
I tried with the phone set as both usb mode or sync mode makes no difference,
I looked into the Unrevoked 3.1 program and apparentley its not working with Hboot v0.83.
Code:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748618
try this guide!
Is that 1 ok for OLED Screens like mine though?, also am I OK in ROOTING whlle it still vodafone BRANDED ?
ok....just read the guide linked, IF that works, will I be able to put Offcial HTC ROM + froyo update?, or does it have to be pre-rooted ROM ?
thanks.
You can download stock froyo Rom here and just use that

Hello there! Well, I made the switch from WM to Android and am loving it. Now it's time for some tweaking though, and I wonder if I can root an Android phone (HTC desire specifically) which is running FroYo 2.2.
I downloaded unrevoked 3.1 and keep getting the 'failed to flash rom' error after the reboot. I have tried this on a Mac and on a PC running XP SP3, both with the same error. Does this mean it simply doesn't work on Froyo 2.2 or I'm doing something wrong?
Any help would be gratefully received!
Presuambly you have stock 2.2. From what I understand, this also upgrades hboot to 0.92, which cannot currently be rooted. To root, you must downgrade hboot back to 0.80. Try the link below, a guide on how to downgrade

Aha, cool. Thanks!. This brings me onto my next question; will I need to make a goldcard if my phone is unbranded?
I purchased my Desire back in June and as soon as i found out about rooting
i used the one click unrevoked 3 method. Due to it being unbranded i didnt need a gold card i simply did so. After which i had problems installing some roms and its become too difficult so ive decided to unroot it and use it as it was meant to be until i gain more knowledge.
My problem is no matter which RUU i use following the unlocker method nothing works. I continue to get the error that none of the RUUs are suitable for my phone.
I have looked through the other posts but couldnt find an answer that worked for me.
my radio is 32.44.00.32u_5.09.05.30_2
Im running AuraxTSense 7.6.1 Froyo FRF91 by NeoPhyTe
Can anyone help me?

Hi,
Is your Hboot 0.93 ?
try this RUU : http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
Enter bootloader (vol.dw+power), then plug the phone to USB and run the RUU it should work...
Have u installed HTC Sync again after using unrevoked?
U need the htc drivers installed
Have u tried LeeDroid?
Running stable and fast in my Desire, I rooted nd unrooted the phone twice, but every time i go back to unroot status i get bored, so root again, i think u should try another ROM first before unroot, try mine : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703
Download de ROM,
Install thru ROM Manager or directly thru Recovery, but remember to Wipe data before u install make a clean install, if u still experience any issues go back to Stock...
My Hboot is 0.93.0001
Ill try the RUU tomorrow when i have enough time at my disposal
Although ill try leedroid first just in case. Hopefully it works and is good enough
thanks for the help
Just curious, but did it work?

HI guys,so i have this issue:
I've updated desire with RUU to 2.29.405.5 with 32.49.00.32U_ radio 5.11.05.27 HBOOT 0.93 sometimes ago, after having rooted,in order to restore phone.
Now I want to root it again but I can't!! Unrevoked3.2 goes well untill it reboots and then says 'connection to phone lost.try again'. I've also tryed downgrade method 2.3 to restore HBOOT back to 0.80: Windows prompt says cannot detect the device.
I properly installed HTC sync drivers,modified HBOOT driver from Unrevoked,ran unrvk 3.2 as administration in win 7 but no results.
I tried using a RUU old that my current firmware but it says cannot install it.
Cables and usb port works fine (HTC sync goes fine).
So guys I don't know what to do ,if you have many suggestions I'll appreciate it a lot.
Thank you in advance.
I had issues with unrevoked when I rooted my CDMA Desire as well, turns out that the most recent unrevoked didn't like to work with the Desire for some reason. Using unrevoked 3.21 did the trick though! Rooted through without a problem and was then able to upgrade to the most recent recovery from ROMManager.
Hi Guys
As per the title I am struggling to get my dhd S-off / rooted / clockwork installed. Iv read and read and thought ok im ready so I downloaded ace hack and all my ADB drivers are installed.
So turned on phone (usb debugging enabled) run ace as admin and pushed 1.
It recognized the phone and said cannot continue must downgrade, do you want me to downgrade y/n?
So I thought well yeah so it downloaded the file and pushed it to my sd card, and then rebooted into hboot and the phone auto found the file and started loading it.
When finished flashing, it rebooted and just hung on the HTC screen. that's as far as I have got. I did see the hboot version had changed but that's all. So the only thing I could do was to Flash a RUU to get the phone working again. (Which worked)
Here is info about phone:
Android version - 2.3.5
Htc Sense Version - 3.0
Software number - 3.12.405.1
Kernel Version - 2.6.35.10-g931a37e
[email protected]#1
Wed Nov9 14:04:03 CST 2011
Baseband Version - 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04_28_M
Build Number - 3.12.405.1 CL199157
If someone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.
I cant understand why these seem harder when my GS3 was very easy.
Maybe its just me :silly:
Edit forgot to say that after flashing RUU I went to htcdev and unlocked bootloader. (don't no if that's going to make a difference)
If you've unlocked with HTC dev, you're one step closer to flashing roms.
See if you can install a custom recovery, and then flash the rom you want. However, to get it booting you'll have to push the boot image via adb after you flash a rom (it'll be in the respective rom's .zip file, just copy it out), otherwise you'll be stuck on the splash screen.
It's a hassle compared to normal flashing if you rooted with aahk, but at least you'll get something going.
I haven't used the later versions of aahk, I rooted back in sense 2.2 days, can't help you there.

ok thanks for replying, so would it be a matter off following these steps h**p://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=88
just got to push that to the phone then I could run ace hack and s-off / root etc.. etc..?
I just don't understand why the ace hack didn't downgrade it properly

Foxy, if your phone Was downgraded You Need To run the hack Kit again. That You are running Android 2.3.3 And sense 2.1....if You are not, then You are not downgraded And You Need to achive that first.
