Hi,
I'm trying to root my phone. I'm up to the step where I install unrevoked and run it.
When I do I get the message:
Waiting for device. Plug phone in now and enable USB debugging.
I have my phone plugged in and USB Debugging is enabled, but nothing happens.
The drivers I needed to download would not install until I booted my phone into hboot. (Then it showed the android 1.0 device so I installed the drivers).
I've rebooted my phone now, and I have tried connecting both as HTC Sync and as a Disk Drive (on the phone).
I believe HTC Sync has been completely removed from my computer, so I'm stuck at where to go next. Can someone help please?
Edit: When I connect using 'HTC Sync' as the method on the phone, I get an Unknown Device appear in my list of drivers. I can't install the 'drivers' provided with Unrevoked here. Have I missed a step?
Thanks & Regards
Adza
Never mind - found the problem. I uninstalled both HTC Sync and HTC Driver installer. Once I put HTC Driver installer back on, all ran like clockwork. (I needed to also choose HTC Sync on the phone when connecting the USB Cable).
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

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).

Follow the unrevoked guide to install the drivers. Also uninstall HTC drivers before that.

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?
I tried to root my Desire GSM (running Android 2.2, stock obviously...) with unrevoked, but every time i try, it gives the following error message (After the phone reboots):
"Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try again."
I'm running Winodws7 (driver signature mode...) + hboot drivers and i deinstalled everything from HTC Sync
I also tried it on ubuntu, but it wouldn't even connect to my phone.
Can someone please help me?
PS: I attached a photo from my hboot, if it helps.
When your desire is in hboot as on the picture, what device do you have in windows devicemanager under "android"?
There should be something like "android bootloader interface", with that it worked for me today
You are using unrevoked 3.32? Your usb cable is ok? Are you using any usb hubs, try to avoid them for this kind of work
People reported problems with newer versions of unrevoked.
I rooted mine with 3.21 - no hassle and error-free rooting.
Also check the Hboot driver status valo_lindstroem suggested, if not correct, install them using this method.
thanks for the quick help..
now it works. ;-)
I just check the box for "USB-debugging"
Hi! I'd like to toot my Desire and put clockworkmod so that i could put the ICS. I tryed with unrevoked 3 but it said that i have too new firmware...
I have HTC Desire with 2.3.3 on it. Please help
http://revolutionary.io/
Ty for the info but after i plug in the phone, in thar program it says waiting for device... But i already connected the phone
Windows users, please download and install these HTC fastboot drivers.
I installed that and same thing happened
Do i have to activate Usb debug and put to Disk drive?
Done, i managed to install root, now its downloading the clockworkmod, ty so much.
hi,first post on this section . upgraded from the desire bravo,could do with some advice..
purchased a used dhd in good condition,changed housings etc,its running the latest htc 3.12.405.1 sense 3.0 android 2.3.5 .after a good search i realised i would have to downgrade to s-off etc.
my problem is i can't get into fast boot power down volume,pulled battery tried lots of times.
pc will not recognise dhd,installed drivers etc,should be able to sort that one out myself.
but i cant work out why i cant get into fastboot,the phone just restarts
thanks mark
Hi,
Download HTC Sync and install that, that contains all the required USB drivers needed.
As for getting into fastboot, have you disabled HTC "Fastboot"? Its in a setting somewhere. Possibly under Settings>Applications or Settings>Development. Make sure that is unticked.
If you take your battery out & reinsert, hold vol down then press power. That should do it for you. If not, enable USB Debugging and use adb to get into the bootloader with,
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
You will need the SDK or a thinned down adb package. Which you can grab from HERE.
You will need the USB drivers for that to work.
EDIT: Just re-read your post. If you have HTC Sync installed and you still cannot get it detected then there maybe an issue with either the handset or your computer. Check "Device Manager" when its plugged in to see if there is a conflict.
htc sinc was allready on pc from desire bravo,well just the drivers.have tried the htc fastboot uncheck earlier no good,re installed htc sinc as i thought it may be different for dhd,but its not.
pc will not pick up device,says drivers not installed.i know they are as the bravo worked fine.
i had read somewhere that unrooted dhd can be usb bricked,there is a fix by some french chap on here,but i cant do that because cant get into fastboot.
need to get into fastboot first i think,to see whats what,device could allready be s-off dont know.
strange
edit: volume button was not working correctly lol, s-on,now to sort out the drivers,downgrade and flash a nice rom
