Unrevoked 3.21 need Help

Could someone please help.
I am trying to root using the Unrevoked Beta 3.21 to root my phone. I get to the end in Unrevoked and it states "failed to flash recovery image"
This is what I have done:
1. Installed all drivers - Device manager does stat ADB Interface just like the guide states.
2. Installed the Relfash packgage
3. Phone is in "debbuging mode"
4. Charge Only is selected
5. Using Windows xp
One strange thing that I do notice is that when the Unrevoked program tells you to select the Hboot usb on my phone and when I do so it flashes blue or green wording that says "no Image" when it looks like its trying to load an image. Afterwards the phone goes into the reboot phase and then states "Failed to flash recovery image". Help is much appreciated.

drivers
i'd mak esure you have everything else uninstalled, every doubletwist, htc software and drivers get it all off, then reboot install unrevoked drivers, then 3.21
thats what i did last night, and it worked.

Uninstall HTC Sync if you have it installed.

Hey folks thanks for the help you all gave. I finally got it to work last night. What I did was unistalled everything that I had downloaded and started fresh from the beginning of the directions. It was all good after and worked flawless. Now im moving on to see what "root" actually is and how it benefits me.
Thanks,

[Q] How to recover RECOVERY?

Hi guys!
Today I tried to get the rooted desire with Android 2.2 with unrevoked 3.21
Previosly I updated to 2.29.405.2 SW
When I run the unrevoked it (desire) freezed on "waiting for root" step. Desire freezed in boot progress (white screen with HTC logo on it)
I removed battery and inserted it again. But I cant boot it, desire freezes on the same white screen with HTC logo.
I can HBOOT, but when I go to recovery menu my device goes to reboot and freez.
So it seems that unrevoked spoiled my recovery and I do not know hot to fix it.
Please guide me, the working solution will be donated $20
--------------
Radio version: 5.11.05.27.
SPL/hboot version: 0.93.0001.

Device model is not SAPPHIRE - flash old/new disabled.
This device does not have s-off nor eng hboot.

Thanks!

Flash a stock RUU and try again, you can get 2.29.405.2 from my signature. Remember to use a gold card if you had to in the past

How can I flash the RUU without access to recovery?

You should flash it via fastboot.
Hold the back button and turn on your phone to enter FASTBOOT, then connect your phone to the pc with the usb cable and then run the ruu.

Did it as you said, result is the same
After the successful flash procedure thru RUU device went to reboot and freezed at the same white screen state.
Recovery is still unavailable to get into.

Now I will try to get the logged data thru Android SDK.
This thing is really mess me up =( I'm phoneless.
You, guys, are the one and only hope.

I have installed SDK, but I cant see anything in adb logcat but "waiting for device", thogh my device is conneted via fastboot usb.
Any clue?

I had that same issue, and it turns out it was a problem with the earlier version of clockworkmod (2.5.0.1) that had that issue, where freezing occurred at the HTC splash screen.
Try unrevoked again, with the 2.5.0.7 image here:
http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.img
Make sure you select the image when you start unrevoked.
It might fail a few times (freezing at splash), but if it does, just pull the battery and keep trying....eventually it'll manage to go through.
Good luck =)

Latty, how can I run unrevoked with a desired image if I cant boot the phone to get it recognized by unrevoked?

you have to start the flasher without the phone being connected, then you should be able to select the image (top left of window).

It still is a driver issue.
Start from scratch..
Remove all HTC Drivers
Reboot
DC from internet
Connect phone in two modes-Android, Fastboot
It should get recognized but drivers shouldnt be installed and you should be prompted for driver location. If you arent prompted, get Device Manager, uninstall the driver which recognized the device.
Now install Unrevoked drivers as per guide.
Phone should be recognized..

Ok, thanks will do it now.
But one more question, should it be recognized from hboot usb mode with "Android Bootloader interface" driver, or from fastboot mode?

Cant confirm that without my phone..
But, I believe drivers would recognize it in both..And seperate drivers too..
A small tip..If you have dual boot, try Unrevoked in another OS in which you havent installed HTC. Should work

Faced with problems
1) I uninstalled HTC Drivers.
2) plugged phone and deleted Bootloader interface device then Boot Interface device.
3) rebooted
4) disconnected from internet
5) plugged and powered device and got Bootloader Interface driver installed without a single promt!!! And Boot interface as well.
So I had no chance to manually set the path to the drivers. And unrevoked still doesnt see the device =(
It turns out that I should try another OS???
PS and the key point, should it be recognized in hboot mode or unrevoked only works with booted to OS devices only?

Not really..But that's the easy way out..
Difficult to show you what exactly to delete..
Mostly these are driver clashes..When you uninstall the driver you should tick the option to delete the driver from system.
Try again and you know you've succeeded when it doesnt find any driver installed, and asks you for the location, when you can choose the unrevoked drivers..

Hm, I cant find any options prompting to delete driver from the system... But I will look into more carefully.
ADDED
Found it, trying now.

Tried, was promted to specify the path to the drivers, installed again and with no luck =( Unrevoked doesnt see the device.
I will try it tomorrow on another PC and with another OS.
Thanks for help, I really appreciate this, and I hope we will find a solution.
PS. Is this problem called USB brick?

[Q] USB connection error

Hi, today a have tried to root my htc desire using revoked 2 method. I was unable to install usb drivers. And now i cant even mount desire as hard drive. Computer still reports that device is unknown. I tried different usb ports, 2 different cabels, windows xp and seven. Before everything worked fine. Do you thing it is possible, that i damaged phone, when i plug it out just disconnecting cable?

Which version of unrEVOked did you try? I seems like a driver issue as you have to install the modified Hboot drivers for unrEVOked in a certain way before unrEVOked will work. If you attempted root with unrEVOked 3.21, did you follow the steps mentioned in thi thread?:

I used this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044
and I stuck at 3. point... On your phone, you will have to select HBOOT USB at that menu by pressing volume down four times, then power. Wait until the screen flashes through an “SD Checking” message before pressing buttons; otherwise, the phone will ignore keypresses.
and after that i am unable to connect desire to pc... no way...seems like something happend with usb driver in phone or i dont know...just i ve tried 3 computers for now and every reports same when I connect usb, that device is unknown

What Hboot do you have?
What is your PVT version? (also check the Bootloader for this info)

0.93.0001 and I forgot...I stucked at third point because i got there no option HBOOT USB

Ok, thank you for that info.
To tell you the truth, with unrEVOked 3.21, you must install the modified HBOOT drivers for it to work, otherwise it will not work at all.
Please try following this guide as it is definately requied. I asked you above if you had tried going through it, you mentioned that you had only tried using the guide in the first link, but you definately need to have the modified HBOOT drivers installed to proceed.

Try what is suggested and let me know if you can proceed past step three after configuring the HBOOT drivers first, as it is a must.

Hmm... yes i see what you mean. Unrevoked is fussy regarding drivers. Try the following:
1) Uninstall HTC Sync completely, the HTC Driver Setup, and HTC BMP Driver if present.
2) Reboot and reinstall the HTC Sync software (latest version).
3) Now uninstall HTC Sync Alone. Keep other two (HTC Driver Setup and HTC BMP Driver) installed.
4) Reboot your PC again.
Note: do not connect phone to PC at all and make sure the phone is switched off.
5) Switch your phone to the Bootloader screen. Connect the phone via USB and it should show Fastboot USB.
6) Windows will show the device detection dialog box - at this point, stop Windows from getting the driver from Windows Update, and manually choose the location of the driver as the folder where Unrevoked driver is present.
7) After this is done, diconnect phone again.
8) Go through the unrEVOked guide and connect the phone when advised to.
If this fails, then try unrEVOked 3.22 (in my sig below) and see how that goes and although you have mentioned that you have tried 3 different PC's, you may have to consider trying it on a different OS platform, such as Linux.

Try downloading the Android SDK: installer_r08-windows.exe
Follow the steps in this video to hopefully get the appropriate USB drivers - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N66J6UiN5Pg&feature=player_embedded
EDIT:
With the phone connected, try the following afterwards:
Check to make sure that you have USB Debugging enabled on your phone.
In Device Manager, right-click your Unknown Android device and select 'Update Driver Software'. Browse to the folder (extract the zip to the Desktop) i have attached below and see if it installs them.

OK, i will try the thing with sdk..i am downloading files right now, but that makes no sense to download any other windows drivers. I think the problem is inside of the phone, because it represents itself like unknown device to any computer with any drivers...if there is a way to restore flash memory or something...well looks like i will have to wait one month for reclamation...how this could happen my god

I agree... it is clearly an HBOOT driver issue or the phone... Windows (PC host) drivers are seperate. I was just running out of ideas really
The only definate way of knowing if it is the device that is causing this issue is if you were to try it on a non-Windows related OS, like Linux and maybe it would work for you using an Ubuntu Live CD.

Yes, because it is not as fussy with drivers as Windows is - with Windows, they have to be properly removed from its cache. With Linux, the phone should be detected ok (unless the phone is at fault).
Here is a simple guide that you can follow:

So, linux didnt work either, system didnt even recognize that anything was plug in. Even crossed fingers dident help Well only last thing I have to ask, if there is any possibility to recover hboot, restore it somehow. Forexample through recovery menu in hboot loader and some kind of .zip file, that i will put to SD card. If not, well I will have to step out to that freezing weather and walk to orange store for reclamation, which I hope would be positive for me, but something telling me it surely will.
I found something about usb unbrick here on xda forum, but is only for root phones
well i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9056719&postcount=15 i think it could work, just i dont know a way how to discover my CID number..to modify mtd0.img file

ok, i did everything step by step using rageagainstthecage tutorial, but nothing happend at all.
If anyone could help...

Are you able to get into Fastboot?
I suppose running your stock RUU in Hboot won't make a difference then... how about trying the PB99IMG method, which involves renaming the extracted rom.zip file to PB99IMG.zip from your stock RUU, placing this to the root of your SD card and then letting it run from Fastboot mode. This would restore your stock Hboot. You could also try AlphaRev's modified 0.93 HBOOT with S-OFF?

Desire, unrevoked failed -> unable to reboot when connected to usb

Hello,
I'm having some troubles while trying to root my friend's phone.
I tried using UnRevoked. I used the same method for my own phone and it worked without any issues, so the drivers etc should be installed properly.
During the rooting procedure Unrevoked will reboot the device, but the device got stuck on the HTC loading screen. And just stayed there, nothing happend. Unrevoked screen displayed: "Waiting for device to reboot"
I pulled the battery and rebooted with usb cable still plugged in. But device wouldnt reboot, it got stuck on HTC loading screen again...
I finally pulled the battery again, tried reboot without usb cable, this worked, when I advanced to the second HTC loading screen (the one with 'quietly brillant' subtitle), at which point I quickly plugged the usb cable back in, so maybe Unrevoked would pick up where it was. But I now got the error: "coudln't find misc"
So long story short: Rooting failed, thankfully I can still boot and everything is still there. Rebooting phone with usb plugged in doesn't work. I also sometimes get the "7 vibrates" when trying to boot (not sure what that means, googling this error didn't help me alot though...)
Phone is running android 2.2 btw, is there an (easy) solution to rooting without having to reboot the phone while connected to usb?
Sorry for the lengthy read and thanks in advance everyone!
Grtz!

Are you using ClockworkMod or AmonRA as the recovery image?
Maybe try the one you haven't tried yet?
R.

hi & thanks,
I just tried the default one, so that would be Clockwork recovery.
Which version of amon ra do you suggest?
Although I don't think that would solve the issue, since it just seems that the phone doesnt want to boot up whenever it is connected to USB...
Grtz

I haven't had any problems with RA version 2.0.1, and I think it's the image that Robocik recommended with his RCMixHD ROM.
Just noticed the link in his thread no longer works but it seems to be available on a German forum (Google 'RA recovery 2.0.1' and follow the link to the androidhilfe.de forum - sorry but I'm not permitted to post the link).
There are ways to flash it through fastboot, but it not something I've needed to do.
Good luck!

I just discovered another symptom:
The phone also keeps asking to set the time zone quite often!
Is this normal? The is usually still correct, but it still asks me to set, which I find odd.
I'm pulling the battery on this phone alot, but still I thought there was some kind of internal battery to store this kind of information? Could it be a symptom that there's something wrong with the phone?
The first symptom was never booting when connected to USB.
2nd: Sometimes getting stuck at same bootscreen, even when not connected to USB.
Also shutting down is sometimes difficult, getting stuck at HTC bootscreen again.
3rd: Often asks to set the time.
Edit: It booted succesfully while connected to USB this time... I hate it when there always seems to be an exeption to a problem right after you post it online
Edit2: The time setting problem might be because there's no simcard in the phone?

You need a fully working sd and sim card to root your phone with unrevoked.
For the problem with the time: menu>settings>date & time>uncheck "automatic (use network provided values)".

Thanks, I'll try this that later this evening!

can i ask... if you plug in your phone to your PC, do you get the option to mount as disk drive (want to make sure you dont have a USB brick)

When using linux you do not need to install the modified usb drivers. You only need to this in windows.

Thanks for all the help everyone.
I tried running the unrevoked root procedure again, this time with a working SIM card inserted.
Everything works fine, phone reboots when it should reboot and everything. But it still doesn't work. I get the error "Internal Error: Couldn't find misc" while the phone keeps rebooting over and over...
I noticed though, that I got a lot of notifications by windows "usb device not recognized" "usb device not working properly" etc during the procedure, I cant remember if this happened the when I rooted my first phone... Or could this be a sign that there's something wrong with the drivers?
What now?!
@mattdroid: oh okay, didn't know that.

Okay check list:
Installed modified hboot drivers?
Uninstalled htc sync (and not the drivers)?
Usb debugging enabled (settings>applications>development)?
Set phone's connection type to "only charge" (if you have problems try "storage") and "never ask again" (settings>connect with pc)?
Which pvt version does your friend's desire have (boot into hboot bootloader, first line)?

1. I think I have the right ones, but maybe something was changed to them, how can I know if I still have the right ones?
2. Never had HTC sync installed...
(i'll just uninstall all my android drivers and reinstall them to make sure steps 1 and 2 can be considered as checked)
3. Check

1. I think I have the right ones, but maybe something was changed to them, how can I know if I still have the right ones?
2. Never had HTC sync installed...
(i'll just uninstall all my android drivers and reinstall them to make sure steps 1 and 2 can be considered as checked)
3. Check
4. Check

When connect your phone to your computer (in usb debug mode and on only charge), in the device manager of windows you should be able to find a device like "android phone 1.0". If this is so, the drivers are installed correctly.
Just to be sure, do this procedure again:
1.) Install htc sync (you need this program to install drivers correctly)
2.) Install hboot drivers: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
3.)
a) Disconnect phone from pc
b) Make sure you have the following settings in your phone:
Checked "unknown sources" in settings>applications?
Usb debugging enabled (settings>applications>development)?
Set phone's connection type to "only charge" (if you have problems try "storage") and "never ask again" (settings>connect with pc)?
4.) Reboot phone
5.) Uninstall only htc sync and not the drivers (htc sync driver installer)
6.) Reboot computer (important)
7.) Now start unrevoked (reflash_package.exe) with administrator rights in windows
8.) Connect phone with computer
9.) WAIT ... WAIT .... WAIT until unrevoked says "done"

Thanks for the nice little tutorial!
will try and post results tomorrow!
I have been running unrevoked normally (without administrator rights) this whole time, maybe that has been causing the problem.
Grtz!

Well.. this happend to me.. what i have done was.. i just downloaded older version of unrevoked and it work like a charm..may be you can give it a shot

But I think older versions of unrevoked don't support android 2.2 ?
Going to try MatDroid method now

FFS!
I tried everything from scratch. Like MatDroid described.
Seems like this phone just doesn't want to reboot when it's on USB!!
How long are your supposed to wait when unrevoked displays "waiting for reboot" and the phone is on HTC boot screen?
And what could cause this phone to have so much difficulties powering on and off?
Grtz
edit: first thing unrevoked does is pushing the recovery, later it get's stuck on bootscreen, but doesn't this mean the recovery is already on my phone and I can maybe install it manually?

Sometimes unrevoked cannot do the "final reboot". After 20 minutes without changes, pull the battery and wait 10 minutes. Now put battery in and start phone. If you have the superuser app in your applications, everything is fine. After this, check wether unrevoked flash recovery.

[Q] wildfire cannot downgrade to create s-off

Hello hoping someone can help, I'm a noob have not had much success in rooting yet...
Have a wildfire (Australian Telstra 3G)
Trying to downgrade firmware from HBOOT 1.01.0002 to 1.010001 so i can get s-off.
I'm following the instructions posted in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132028
I've downloaded htc drivers (and uninstalled htc sync)as per instructions
Also loaded android drivers via device manager (screen dump attatched)
I can "talk" to my SD card OK with windows explorer but i don't think I am "talking to my phone or card via adb and the command prompt"
Got the full SDK package installed.
All the obvious things.. Andrtoid debugging enabled / Charge only
So When I attempt to run Step 1 bat I get the following error message:adb server is out of date..killing..*daemon server started successfully... error device not found..(screen dump attatched)
also i tried to make a "goldcard" and extract the serial no of the sd card on the phone. . same deal.. as soon as i get into adb ....error. device not found
note i am using windows 7.
my theory is that i'm don't have a propper usb link when i go into the dos cammand prompt/adb but i have loaded the drivers. I think this is happening when i try to root other phones also (eg zte blade)
can anyone help me. be kind to me I'm a noob...I've attatched three relevant screen dumps

Swyped from my HTC Wildfire (Buzz)

--------------------
Thanks eventcom, but I've followed that link and numrerous others and they all follow the same theme.
here is the problem as I see it...
1/I have installed the android driver when in hboot and it works ok as per attatched image
2/ I have installed htc_sync_setup 3.2.20.exe which is the latest driver availiable from the htc website.I then uninstall HTC sync, which leaves HTC driver installer & HTC BMP USB driver remaining as installed ( as per instructions)
3/ I have uninstalled any other USB programs which might conflict including Itunes and ascociated garbage (no i didn't put it there my kids did!).
USB debugging is turned on & when i plug in USB i go charge only (as per instructions)
Here's a hint...
When I execute an adb commandwithin command prompt eg [adb devices] i get no devices. When I issue a adb copy command I get the result "device not found" I'm know i'm going nowhere on this until I can get device to properly talk via adb and this is the assistance that i am seeking
further info.
I've tried this procedure on another (winxp) machine with same results.
Ive tried this procedure on another wildfire "s" (that is already rooted) same results
I've temporarily disabled the AVG 2012 virus protection & firewall.
As well as being in the directory that the file adb.exe exists I have also installed SDK so adb appears to run in any directory (please explain ?)
If i plug in usb and go "mount sd card" I can access the sd card on the phone viawindows explorer . in my mind this tells me that I have correct usb driver working.
I've tried a different usb cable AND a different phone
before I uninstalled htc sync i tried it out. it doesn't work and the phone won't sync up to this program ( it rarely works this program, tried it on numerous pc with different htc devices and more often than not it doesn't work)
I'm hoping that someone who is experienced in adb can help me get the phone talking with my pc, keeping in mind that I've done almost everything that I can think of to get my phone to "talk: via usb cable and issue commands. If I can't get my phone to communicate via adb then there is no way I can get past step one
please help me

i shall do my very best
ok so what system are you currently running? (win7,vista,xp ect)
are you using the stock usb cable that came with the phone?
when you connect the device to the pc with usb debugging turned on do you get the usb debugging notification in your status bar on the phone?
when you plug your device into the pc with debugging enabled what does your device manager recognize it as? mine shows up as attached...
did your antivirus flag up when you were installing the skd or downloading the adb.exe?

Success with debranding but problems with Revolutionary recovery
Thank you heavy_metal_man.
I finally solved the USB driver issue. I ended up completely uninstalling HTC driver installer & HTC BMP USB driver. I then installed HTCDriver3.00.007.exe as a stand alone only. Finally I got it to recognise in device manager.
Important lesson learned. Installing the latest HTC driver off the website which is htc_sync_setup_3.2.20 (which installs 3 modules HTC Sync, HTC driver installer & HTC BMP USB driver) then uninstalling HTC sync did not work for me...I now just have HTC driver installer only.
I asked to install clockwork mod during the revolutionary process, but I suspect it didn't work
Anyway I have now succesfully debranded and "sort of" have root. my Hboot screen now looks like this...

Problem is when I go into recovery I get the "revolutionary CWM V4.0.1.4" Menu... So far so good.however When I select any item EG bacup & restore, intead of going to the next level menu it just goes to a revolutionary screen with no menu and just hangs. pressing the power button takes me back a level but the vol+ vol- buttons do nothing as there is no menu to select from.
So i can't flash with this current screen. the only way I can get out of it is to remove the battery as the reboot & power off menu items do not work.
.
I have tried re-running the revolutionary Exe file again. It prompts me if i would liketo install CWM and I say yes . It says it's done and takes me into Fastboot USB where I can reboot. but CWM ( The wierd revolutionary model) DOES not work like the CWM that i am accustomed to...
So i STILL can't flash CM7...but I'm getting closer...

That's ok , power is meant to do that, its the back button you need to use the trackball to select stuff also if I remember correctly that recovery has an issue where it will not charge the phone when it is turned off, so I would update that asap I shall give you a link when I'm out of bed, but for the mean time, backup, wipe everything and install cm7+ gapps
ok here is the most up tp date cwm recovery for the buzz as far as i know. and here is the thread it came from something to note, when you jump up tp gingerbread the type of recovery changes as well, so, the new one will not flash sense roms unless the rom has been designed for the new edify type recovery. not sure how many support this though. also the new recovery will NOT flash radios. it does not play well with others but you can always downgrade your recovery temporarily if you need to, or use the rom manager app (which ic an app interface for the recovery) to flash what you need

Success at last
Thanks Heavy_metal_man
Success I now have CM 7.2.0- buzz. I also installed google apps ok.
I guess I shouldv'e read the instructions on flashing a bit closer. I've also got a wildfire "s" as well and it uses the power button to enter so I suppose I just assumed...Truth is that I've only just got this phone last week and I didn't even realise that it had a trackball button ...
This is my first ever root/flash that I have done and I have learned alot from the experience. I specifically got this phone ($10 on ebay) so I coul;d learn to do this without the risk of damaging my own phone. This phone had "issues" when I bought it which is why i got it so cheap. now I have upgraded to CM7 it the issues (eg wireless hotspot would not remain on) have gone.
Soon I hope to have the experience and courage to flash my own phone and my kids phones.
Thanks to H_M_M and all of the XDA forum for helping me out.
