Hello, I need to unroot my HTC Desire. So i tried to this guide http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/
So first i installed a Sense-Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997.
Then I downloaded HTC-Sync and installed it.
Then i downloaded some RUU's from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667: these: RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U _4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe and RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
I followed the instructions but after RUU starting in Bootloader i am getting USB-Connection failed. I tried with both RUU's
Someone told me to try it with a goldcard, so i tried everything with a goldcard, same problem.
i am using windows7 32 bit. i got ubuntu installed on other partition too if you got a solution that needs linux
do someone got a good tip how to work this out?

what are all the usb-rivers? i installed HTC-Sync what else do i need to install?

I had a problem a couple of weeks ago on a my pc when i was using unrevoked to flash permenant clockwork recovery. Cant remember where i got it from, might of been the unrevoked thread. I think all drivers are either linked or in the rooting sticky at the top of dvelopment thread that this is in.
I tried to upload but Xda is acting up again.

u mean these drivers http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install i got them installed.
everything i am trying is failing.... i am getting depressions
did you try to open htc sync in XP-mode?
maybe the problem is really windows 7...
Thanks guys but this is how it worked for me (maybe someone will need it):
i downloaded goldcard maker from here www.klutsh.com and made a goldcard
i downloaded PB99IMG.zip http://roms.loaden.nl/HBOOT0.92to0.80/PB99IMG.zip and put on sc-card.
power off the phone. start the phone by holding VOL-Down + Power then wait a while u will get a prompt if u want to install the update Press VOL-UP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776696&page=29 following this thread i installed the HBoot drivers and then i started unrEVOked 3.14.
It booted into console, then i rebooted again but after then the software on my PC gave me error message "unable to push recovery image to flash" .. ..
- I do change the USB mode
- I have HBoot drivers installed
- I have HTC Sync installed
- I am on Windows 7
- I am using HTC Desire Froyo
Remove HTC Sync.
You need it's drivers, but if you leave it installed it might get in the way.
Uninstalling will not remove the required drivers.
I think...

Thank You,

I followed the guide already and i posted the question after following the guide. it stucks and give me the error that i posted abov.e
i get the same error, so this is a valid topic.
there is Nothing that gives us any information about what else to try, bar sitting and waiting for the rEVOked client to be updated.
The latest version of unrEVOked is up. I tried to root my Desire through it. It rebooted my device couple of times (with previous versions I used to get error at 1st boot).
Now, I am getting this error Backup CID is missing.
Can someone guide?
latest revoked worked fine for me
3.21 sorted all the issues i was having.
Yep, the old unrEVOked (3.14) doesn't support FroYo...get 3.21 and you'll be fine

Use that guide. If it doesn't work ( as for me ) use Linux with a Ubuntu live CD. Worked first time for.me.
Windows is crap. Too many things to go wrong that wont be obvious making you sound like a idiot.
Direct link. http://rootmydroid.co.uk/guides/gen...esire-wildfire-evo-incredible-with-unrevoked/
Worked first time in W7 x64 Ultimate when I did it with the RC
I have the same windows and latest unrEVOked but it didn't work. It gave me error Backup CID missing
Hmmm,
I have just tried to root my Desire using unrevoked 3 and it seems to go throught the motions but ends on an "internal error couldn't find misc" error message......
I am running a stock O2 Froyo Desire with HBoot .93.......Any ideas?
Try connecting your android in USB storage mode and debugging mode.
My first try gave me the same "internal error: couldn't find misc".
But with the above settings I was able to root my HTC Desire. Thanks unrevoked!
Hi,
A noobie questions.
I have Froyo 2.2 with HBoot .92 and i want to use unrEVOked tool, but before that my sd card has to be empty, or have to format it?
And after i use unrEVOked, i have to flash any custom rom?
Thanx
@ iamtotal, I already have it with those settings... Are you running Froyo?
@ pekas, no you do not have to use a blank sdcard.

Ok, so I have a Win7 x64 box, and have all the corect drivers loaded for my phone.
If I run unrEVOked I get the above error message......So my next step was to run in Virtual XP mode to see if maybe it was a X64 issue....Still the same error.....
Last night I reset my phone to factory defaults and re-ran unrEVOked.....No joy....So after trawling through more forum posts I came across how to run unrEVOked from an Ubuntu live cd.....So I downloaded and burnt off the live cd, ran the script as specified (really neat and easy to use BTW) to get the latest version of unrEVOked and run it.......Guess what......Still the SAME error message......Methinks maybe something screwy with the O2 version of Froyo?
Anyone else had the same issue? Are running an O2 rom?
I am stuck with the same error since the beginning. No success, with all the possible tries. I am not sure what version my FroYo is .. O2 or something but its EU region specific.
Bottom line is .. I can't root my Desire .. :|
I bought an unbranded/unlocked Desire a few days ago, and it had Froyo preinstalled.
It REFUSES to connect to HTC Sync, and it seems impossible to root using unrevoked too (i've tried Vista, Win7 and Ubuntu). All without success. I have tried EVERY method/guide/tutorial out there.
So my question is this. HOW DO I ROOT?!
I'm thinking of using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
And then using unrevoked on the stock 2.1, but in that thread it says
Update:
The new version of unrevoked3 (3.21) can now root froyo ROMs directly, and a downgrade is no longer necessary if you just want to root and install custom recovery, although there appear to be a few issues with this new release. If you want to rebrand/debrand your phone, rooting won't achieve this and you can use this method instead. If you cannot get the new version of unrevoked3 to work you can also run this and use the older version (3.14) that works with Android 2.1.

So i have no garauntee that unrevoked will work on 2.1 either, and i'm not downgrading for no reason.
Does anyone have any ideas, cause i'm running out of ideas here.

Does it have a new H-boot that unrevoked cant do yet? What is the H-boot on the phone?
Does unrevoked come up with any errors? Have you instaleed the correct drivers, adb for it?
What is your hboot #?
Power off, press down volume and power on should tell you at the top.
Then check the sticky topics, at the top of dev section, as they have solved newest hboot problems.
Ps this is best for the q&a section, good luck, and sure we'll all try and help.
Desire is the source of all suffering.
HBOOT number is 0.93, take it this is too new?
The non-connection to HTC Sync worries me, if it wont connect to the manufacturers software, what is there to make me think it will work with anything else?
Don't quote me on this but unrevocked should work on 0.93,
Best is to get suck into this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709146&highlight=unrevocked
And see how you do.
Goes through the whole deal with drivers etc.
Do you have ADB yet? because you can use adb devices to check to see if your desire is connecting to your computer, but as cjm1979 said you need to get latest drivers from the adb, but seem to remember you have to uninstall htcsync anyway to use unrevocked. But it should all be there in that guide.
But getting adb and drivers is important.
> Uninstall HTC sync 3.x version from your windows box and install 2.x version and then try it ( Important: Disable any firewall/antivirus tools when doing it)
The latest version of unrevoked should work.
Just found this in the unrevocked topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725738&highlight=solved&page=36
My HBOOT version is 0.93.0001
Follow the instruction to unrevoked,f after installed the HBOOT driver and enable USB debug, run unrevoked as administrator and connection "charging only",
the unrevoked still not start as follow, any idea?
Solved: I never install HTC sync.
Read all post found similar situation and I install and uninstall HTC sync. Problem resolved.
Never used htcsync for myself anyway.
Ok guys, i found the problem.
This is embarassing, But i forgot to uninstall DroidExplorer which unknown to me, was cocking it all up silently. Uninstalled that, ran unrevoked and it looks to be working, i'm currently on the ClockworkMod recovery screen. Yeah, all working now, and i should be rooted now.
Am i correct in saying that since the phone was unlocked/unbranded, i can now just whack an update.zip on my SD and flash it? Or is there anything else to be done before that (I know enough to do a Nandroid backup before that step)?
Thank you all for helping an idiot solve his non-problem!
I've uninstalled Sync, moved the drivers to system32, ran unrevoked as admin, ran it in compatibility mode, nothing. All required drivers/softwares/fairy dust is present. I really have tried nearly everything listed on tutorials. I've damn near broken googles servers just searching for a fix!
You don't copy any drivers, HTC sync installs in 2 parts - the program and the drivers.
Once installed, go into Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the program but leave the drivers. This works fine
Then make sure unrEVOked is running BEFORE you connect your phone, and make sure USB Debugging is enabled on the phone
One of the tuts i read said movng the drivers to system32 might help, but did it hell. I'm all rooted now, just installed TitaniumBackup, is it meant to ask for permissions 2000 times every time i do something? It just asked me about 20 times O.O

Once, when you've ticked the box,
Unless your talking about superuser notifications which you can turn of in the superuser app
Desire is the source of all suffering.
You mean the 'remember' box? Yeah, done that too but it keeps popping up asking for permissions anyway.

Yes meant the remember box, is the box always the SU box or is it a grey notification box saying SU access has been granted.
Its always the SU box, asking me to give permission, but the remember box is always ticked.

Btw, i tried to root m8s phone with this version today, AMOLED edition, unrevoked. It didn't work, saying if "there's a new firmware running?". I tried with 3.22, 3.21 unrevoked versions.
Haven't found any traces about successfuly rooting this version, so I'm asking here now.
I haven't had any issues rooting 2.29.405.5 with 3.32 but other who have have found 3.21 worked fine to root

I had this today (using the latest unrevoked v.3.32 & Desire 2.29.405.5) - I ran it again and it seemed to work fine the second time around!
My mistake, i ment 3.32 and 3.31 unrevoked versions.
I tried it for at least 5 times (made some more free space, set the phone to airplane mode) and no go. Maybe a driver issue ? I installed the fasboot drivers from the unrevoked site (used them successfully before while flashing alpharev fastboot images on my phone), uninstalled HTC Sync before rooting, kept the HTC drivers on.
I couldn't get things working properly on Win7 64 so I used an Ubuntu LiveCD - maybe worth a shot? I also had a problem initially in that I left it at the SIM lock screen - the next time round I entered the SIM code and also the main Android PIN so it was at the homescreen.

Hi all,
I have a rooted desire with a rooted stock 2.3 rom installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151765)
I have tried to install the alpharev hboot using both the livecd and the usb method, but I recieve a error "unary operator expected" on stage 3. the phone is fine after the process fails and still boots normally.
Is there another way of flashing alphrev? maybe using adb on fastboot?
Cheers
UPDATE: I think i may know why its not working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075113&highlight=alpharev
tru using revolutionary, a lot quicker and easier
On the revolutionary website I complete the required details. e.g. phone model, serial etc... but the drop down does not allow me select my hboot version of 0.80.0000, it only has 0.93.0001? any idea?
Is there a way of flashing alpharev using adb or cwm instead?
Ive tried serveral PC's now and all of them fail with the same error.
I've been through the xda forums and google and simply cant find a way of applying s-off.
The error I get is Unary operator expected on stage 3 of the alpha rev usb stick or livecd
update your phone with a newer RUU (NOT THE GINGERBREAD ONE!!!!!) and then S-OFF
