I am going crazy trying to root my friend’s Evo, I did mine so long ago using toast 1+ 2 method; which is a breeze compared to the unrevoked 3.21. I have tried everything to get the re-flash tool to move past : waiting for device:
I have tried:
1. downloaded HTC sync, but did not run it.
2. Running HTC sync, reboot, and then uninstall
3. Turning of anti-virus on computer
4. Switching USB cords
Nothing has worked…… Please help!
The hboot is 0.97, which should be rootable.
Thanks in advance

I'm following this rooting guide to root Telus HTC Hero, and I'm stuck on Step 5. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581981
I got the Gold Card and everything, but when I run RUU its stuck at Waiting for bootloader and I get this messsage:
ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERRO
Anyone else have similar problem?
I got this yesterday when I did mine, all I did was fully uninstall htc drivers and then reinstalled them. Don't plug your usb in until you've restarted your computer. That fixed mine.
same for me, i bought an unlocked HTC hero and i can't get RUU to recognize my hero..using it for rogers..
i was following the thread posted above about how to root the telus htc hero and got stuck on step 5.
everything was working until i tried to sync my phone and HTC sync did nothing. after replacing the drivers and restarting my computer htc sync still doesn't do anything, and when i press 'htc sync' on my hero it'll give me an error saying it can't find htc sync on my computer.
is there a way to get around this? i'm really disapointed it doesnt work.. the main reason why i want to root my phone is because when i receive text's all of them are time stamped 5 hours late so it screws up the threaded SMS's and it's REALLY annoying trying to read it it scrolling to find the right message.
i hope someone can help, because i really don't want to sell this phone.. it's a handsome phone. blah.
Yes it can work. What you need to do is go into Windows 7, and uninstall the device drivers manually, then follow the steps on the Unlockr to root the phone. I was stuck on it and then it worked when I did it exactly how Unlockr says it.
hi there
I got my SLCD desire a few weeks ago and did the HTC upgrade to android 2.2.
Later I discovered that, with this upgrade, the rooting process is quite difficult.
Yesterday I found this thread to downgrade Android 2.2 to 2.1 (which I did and which seems to have worked perfectly).
Now I try to install the ClockworkMod with Unrevoked 3.1 to get root access.
I use win7 x64. Unrevoked3 gets stuck at "pushing recovery image".
It's been like that for half an hour without any change...
I installed the modified hboot driver and there are no devices without working drivers in the "device manager".
Is this a windows specific problem and it will work if I use linux?
Or did I do something wrong?
thanks for helping
sorry I'm a new member I cannot post the link to the "Downgrade froyo to stock 2.1", it tells me new members cannot post outside links...

How many times have you tried to run Unrevoked?
dunno, about 10 times
most times it failed after 5-40 sec with "failed to push recovery image. terminating...".
And now is the third time that it is pushing and pushing... last two times I quit after an hour or so...

yeah well it should only take about 15 seconds in all so its obviously not working, as for why I am not sure it sounds as though you have set it up correctly. Does your phone boot into HBOOT correctly when you plug it in using Unrevoked?
You have to use a custom image to root slcd screen using unrevoked. Let me see if i can find the link

hahaha i'm stupid! *facepalm*
nowhere is written that the sd card has to be in disk mode (opposed to charge only for the downgrade)
now it is working I think that was the only problem .... :S
thanks anyways for the quick answers
hmm ... how long should it take to flash it?
It now correctly goes to hboot, connects and then reboots and then states:
Flashing recovery image. Do not touch your phone!
But it's already been doing that for some minutes....
Is it normal that it starts flashing while the HTC-Boot-Logo is still visible?
(late) EDIT: worked with Linux LiveCD, something on windows made it impossible to finish the rooting process
My bootloader screen comes on to 2.0 but when i select recovery it shows a triangle..i tired to install RUU 3.29 and 3.70 using fasboot. It took the 3.70 but now keeps powercycling within mins after turning it on. Nand is still showing locked. Can you help please on how finish root?
You are not rooted at all. Start from scratch, use Unrevoked. Make sure to install and then uninstall HTC Sync and install the modified hboot drivers from Unrevoked if you're on a windows machine before running Unrevoked. Not sure why you are constantly rebooting, but after you get it rooted flash a new ROM and hopefully it will clear up.
Is it Unrevoked 3 or forever? Where do i get the modified hboot drivers and would it let me do this while Hboot usb because my phone doesnt stay on long enough to debug and root that way?
You get the drivers from unrevoked.com. I'm pretty sure you need to be able to turn on USB debugging and it has to run from an "on" state. Try running the 3.70 RUU again and see if that clears the reboots.
You have a link to a RUU 3.70 in zip file that you recommend because they're so many out there and I have a feeling I might of loaded the wrong one? I'll flash it in fastboot mode like the first one
Give this one a try. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MUSAURP7
thanks..im downloading it and about to give it a shot

Here is a handy link to bookmark http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060&highlight=hboot-0.97+ruu. It has all of the shipped roms in RUU form and PC36IMG form. Definitely a good link to keep. Hope you get the reboots cleared up. I saw a guy last week get that problem after something going wrong with using Unrevoked, and he had to exchange the phone at sprint. It would just reboot constantly, within seconds of it booting into the OS, even after multiple RUU and PC36IMG restores. At least it still shows s-on!

Hello everyone,
I would need expert help here... 3 months ago I have tried to root my HTC Desire that was running (it still is) 2.2 I have tried to use the one-click flash unrevoked, I enabled USB debugging, I had plugged it in my Mac and I tried to flash it. The computer starts the process, at one point it says restarting bootloader, but my phone just stayed off. When I powered it on manually, it just worked, but it wasn't flashed. I used for the next 3 days, turning it on and off every night and it would work, until it just turned on, went passed the pin code check and a message would pop up for every app saying it is not responding...
I got a friend to fix it. 2 weeks after that, without doing anything to it, it just did not start and gave me the same problem.... I had to send it in for repair, HTC opened my phone replaced everything at the exception of the case. Although, I want to root it, I am afraid to break my phone again... Any suggestions ?
Try this thread. Worked for me.

Although I don't use a Mac, it seems much simpler to root.
Oh, I forgot, I used this method on my original desire (previous was stolen)

Either way works, just make sure you have a GOLD CARD
Did you install the hboot drivers?
unrevoked is normally working fine.
there are 3 things you need to pay attention on it.
1. uninstall HTC Sync completly
2. install HBoot drivers
3. activate USB-Debugging
with this 3 points it should work fine
After serveral failed attempts to use unrevoked on my 2.2, i came across the thread below, the followed the 2.2 -> 2.1 donwgrade guide and then unrevoked worked first time once i was on 2.1
Try the guide in this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
So I got the inc and I'm very disappointed. I'm trying to root using unrevoked and after the first reboot when it tries to "run root" the phone reboots itself before it's finished, causing an error. Now the phone keeps rebooting shortly after the boot animation. I can unlock the screen and before it's finished loading it'll reboot.
Some details:
Stock Android 2.2
Unrevoked 3.2
Correct hboot drivers
Usb debugging is on
Charge only - remember this
I've done this for a buddy's inc last year with not a single problem as well as an evo so I'm familiar with unrevoked and htc devices.
Any suggestions?? Thanks!
K... sorry for clogging up your forum lol. I got it on like the tenth try. Just finally happened to work. Thanks for looking though!
