Hey there,
I'm planning to root my Desire.
It is Vodafone Germany Branded (vodafone scene included) and I
updated to 2.2 with the official Vodafone Update (OTA, some weeks ago)
Now I found a tutorial here with unrevoked to root every Desire with any HBOOT.
My HBOOT version is 0.93.0001 !
But i read something like "i need a goldcard to root when my desire is branded"
Is this goldcard needed to root with unrevoked because my desire is branded by vodafone?
When I'm in the Bootloader (Vol. Down + Power ) i get this information:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.09.05.30_2
HBOOT
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
My Desire has got an AMOLED Display.
What do I Have to do? Do i have to root with Goldcard+unrevoked or just with unrevoked?
After rooting i want to flash the "AuraxTSense V.7.8.1" Rom.
This won't be a problem right?
Thanks
I have a Softbank branded desire and unrevoked worked fine for me.
Same here with Dutch Vodafone image. I just did the root with Unrevoked using a Linux live CD (SLAX). It reboots a couple of times and now is successfully rooted!!
Use unrevoked , i think it goes fine with 0.93 hboot.
Search the threat that explains how to use unrevoked.
Good luck.
Moved to Q&A. Please don't post question threads in Development.
You need a gold card to use the hboot downgrade utility that will flash an official HTC WWE ROM with the older hboot 0.80..
This can then be rooted by Unrevoked, if you were still on 2.1 Eclair then the gold card wouldn't have been needed

Using UnRevoked http://rootmydroid.co.uk/guides/gen...esire-wildfire-evo-incredible-with-unrevoked/
I just rooted succesfully WITHOUT a gold card. So you don't need it, even if you accepted an official update (OTA)
Thanks to all replies

Hi,
I just received a couple of new Desires with HBOOT 0.93.0001 preinstalled.
Has anyone seen this before, and is it safe to root?
Thanks,
Adam
Go into settings and about and list firmware details.u might have a new radio too.
Hoot prob 4 slcd tho

You don't root a bootloader. But if you have Froyo, you will not be able to root it. You'll have to downgrade the software first.
Did you get the Desire from Vodafone UK? I know their new 2.2 OTA update changes the HBOOT to 0.93 apparently (which can't be rooted at present)
Thanks for the quick responses.
The Desires did indeed come from VF UK, and yes they are SLCD.
The radio version is the same as the one I've seen on this site: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
Looks like I'll have wait until one of the hacking ninjas works out an easy way to get a root applied to a Froyo desire...

1. Can it be rooted
2. Is it slcd or amoled
It can be rooted my desires hboot is the same. I think its amoled but you can ring HTC and they will tell you.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
If it was just the mobo and you were on 0.80 then you're on AMOLED...either way you can root without issues
Yes it can bee rooted mine is also 0.93
look at this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776696
same hboot,radio and slcd and i was able to root using unrevoked 3.21
Tried unrevoked 3.21 (4 - 5 times) and it would not root it. Spoke to guys on irc and they dont know why it did not work.
Wondering if I should go down the downgrade 2.2 to 2.1 then root then use a custom rom back to 2.2. I want to try the cyanogen rom really.
OH and thanks guys
What happens (or not) when you try?
Bascially it says its doing it but it aint.
Waiting for boot when its already rebooted.
Pushing recovery when its not.
connect device.

Any success yet?
Did you buy yours with this version of Hboot or was it upgraded via OTA? when?
a couple of mates have same problem can't root 0.93.0001
Yeah all sorted now thanks. Followed the "how to" at the unlocker
Rooted with unrevoked
Rom manager failed to flash 2 or 3 different roms so I flashed with Leedroid 2.2f using clockwork.
reports that you can flash cyanogen rom with amom ra bit not tried that way yet.
Happy with leedroid for now any way.
I had to send my .80 boot back to HTC for repair (GPS problem) and it came back with a new mobo and software.
You can root if you follow the correct "How to" some miss a few things out

Just rooted mine last night, no problems.
Am on T-Mobile UK, HBOOT 0.93.0001, radio etc all same as yours, all latest s/w from TMUK as I had just received it back from repair recently.
My steps:
Used Unrevoked 3.22.
Download htc sync, install, then uninstall the sync application, leaving the drivers on. Didn't need to mess with hboot drivers in my case.
Attached device, connected in disk drive mode with usb debugging enabled.
Ran Unrevoked.
That was it.
My PC runs Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit.
I follow the same steps still same hanging with "Waiting for root... (safe to restart if this doesn't work). My ROM is:RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC__ARA_2.32.415.3_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157343_signed.exe
I just bought desire 1 weeks ago, My desire hboot is 0.93.0001, scld
I rooted my phone by unrevoked with recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5.1-0.93, and have flash a new rom.
But still s-on, i saw many treads about how to get s-off for 0.93 from chiese htcplayer forum, general methods are to downgrade 0.93 to 0.8x,
here i want to know if there is a simple method just like root with unrevoked, to get s off.
ps. i wanna clear that if root completely must include s -off

I tried searching for this but to no avail.. if some one here has better searchfu than me just point me in the right direction but here is my problem.
Im using a 2.2 android HTC desire from O2 I was following the instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044 here to Root it. I installed the Hboot drivers fine and got Unrevoked working as far as i can tell.
I launch it and it goes through the entire process of restarting my phone into Hboot and then restarting again and stabilising then It starts to root.. says sucess then quickly changes to say "Internal Error: failed to unlock NAND flash?"
It then stops there restarts the phone and has had no effect at all..
Any help will be wonderful

Are you trying to use Unrevoked forever? That only works on CDMA phones (no sim card). If you just want root and flash different roms normal Unrevoked is fine. To see if it went oke boot in to recovery and see if it says ClockworkMod recovery. If yes, everything is fine regarding rooting.
If after this you want to S-off and have a GSM (sim card) phone use AlphaRev.
Im using the version available from unrevoked.com which i belive is just unrevoked
As for booting into recovery i try that... all i get is the phone symbol with the red triangle and then dont get past that when i push power and vol up..

This man speaks the truth, unrEVOked forever won't work on the sim card Desire. I you should now have standard super user permissions. if you do want S-off you will need to go the alpha rev route.
tried using a diff version of unrevoked and this time it says failed to flash recovery image
I just went through all of this with my own phone a few days ago. from what I have learned and read Unrevoked will not give you Nand unlock.
Strange. I tried the latest unrEVOked (not forever) on my unbranded Desire, and did not have any errors like these (NAND unlock, unable to flash). I have:
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
except the radio is 5.11.05.27
Hmmm could it be the radio causing the play up?

Maybe.
But i should give it a try. Download the latest unrEVOked from here:
http://www.unrevoked.com/recovery/
Also make sure, you have correctly installed the HBOOT drivers:

I do definitely have the latest version of both of those..
Hi folks, absolute novice here.

You've searched too far back
Use the guides here to explain everything better: http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/503471-desire-all-things-root-guide.html
Follow it all the way through particularly terminology etc. Everything you need to know is there
Then use the guide to 's-off' using revolutionary. It doesn't technically root but will fully unlock your bootloader which is more powerful.
Hi,
I've read a few similar threads here, but there is no answer for my case, so i dare to ask you.
Briefly:
HTC Desire, locked and branded by Orange UK,
Froyo 2.2 - offical /OTA?/
Rooted
Bravo PVT4 Ship s-off /now is off, after the root i manage to turn it off, originally it was on/
HBOOT 0.93.0001
Radio 5.10.05.30
MICROP - 051d
So, the other thing is that i bought just a phone and the seller didn't know is that phone is with SLCD display ot AMOLED.
I want to flash with Stock WWE ROM or some custome one. But in all of the instructions here for debranding and so on for the LOCKED/BRANDED Desire it is said "NOT working for 2.2 /OTA/"
Is there a way to manage my Desire to be a stock, non-branded and unlocked* phone?
*I've purchuased an unlock code, because the thread for the unlocking here just did not helped me at all.
Thank you in advance.
It will say whether its slcd or amoled on the box, if it doesnt mention amoled then its slcd
To debrand you need a gold card, follow a tutorial, or download gold card helper from the market.
Run this and get you mmc into a gold card, then run a generic RUU and wait for it to install, this will debrand your phone
For root use unrevoked google it,.if you get an error download version 3.21. This will give you s-off, so you can flash custom roms using recovery
Hope this helps
Regards
Vengeance

Hi, I rooted my branded orange slcd desire without a gold card.
1. install the htc sync tools then uninstall it - The drivers remain
2. Download the desire custom root file - available on XDA (use search)
3. Install unrevoked making sure usb debugging is enabled - click file and use the custom root file downloaded earlier
4. Connect your desire and let unlocker do its magic and your rooted.
you can S-off after this process but it is not necessary if your using a standard sense rom
Pick your rom of choice and install
use the debranding tool on xda
regards

can i downgrade hboot
can i do s off?
thanks a lot
with goldcard flash RUU and start rooting process again...
thanks for the help but unfortunately it does not work :-(
by saying goldcard rru flash, you mean to create an goldcard
and with the card inside, to install the official rru.
i tried rru 1.12 and 2.29 and they failed :-(
any ideas?
Read the Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794314 carefully and also the alpharev website http://alpharev.nl/. Hopefully u will get the answer.

No he won't. Alpharev or revolutionary don't support the new hboots, so you can't S-OFF, as far as I know there still isn't a way to downgrade, and you can't flash an older RUU since it won't let you. It was a stupid mistake of even using it in the first place.
so, there is no hope for me :-(
