Ur desire is a new model pvt4, so the clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 that unrevoked try to flash, cant work..download amon ra 2.0.0.1, and from unrevoked program choice custom recovery and select amon ra..then start the root process and u should done
Sent from my HTC Desire

can you link me to file i cant seem to find download?

Here AmonRa 2.0.1
Otherwise if u like clockworkmod, u can get the latest version 3.0.0.5-r3 this work also on ur desire here (look at the second post for the download, then extract the zip)
Use unrevoked to flash the recovery

ok thank you... do i need to RUU my phone 1st?? amon_ra didnt seem to work. maybe i need to start from fresh?

Are u following alll the unrevoked instructions?
-Install hboot drivers on ur pc
-Install and the uninstall Htc synch on ur pc, but leave the drivers
-Set in ur phone debug enabled, and make remember "charge only"
-Leave ur phone switched on in normal mode, dont plug the usb cable yet
-Run unrevoked, choice amon_ra recovery, run
-just when it ask for ur phone, plug the usb cable
-wait the success message and u are done

yeah i am.. unrevoked only seems to work "sucessfully" once when i have a fresh RUU.

Then try to run the ruu and run unrevoked with amon ra..Then tell us the error.."amon_ra didnt seem to work" is not a good explanation

just to confirm that worked
im now running cyanogenmod 2.3!
just to summerise in case any one else has the same problem...
i RUU'd back to default
ran unrevoked 3 but choose a custom rocovery i used CWM 3.0.0.5-r3
let it run...
reboot
then used rom manager to install my custome rom
thanks alot andQlimax its been difficult to get a clear set of instructions...

Very noobie sorry.

Ok, I have rooted my HTC Desire useing revoked3 and am now trying to install bravo Desire 2.3.4 DjRoobs hiapk v3.6 signed.zip but it keeps saying "assert failed: write_raw_image ("/tmp/boot.img".
Installation aborted.
Please can someone tell me in Laymans terms where I am going wrong.

Please can anyone help, I have looked everywhere for how to do this and everyone just uses abreviations that I don't understand. I just wanted to get more space on my phone but am now a little fed up with all this.

Most people are still in work so have some patience

Re-download the rom and try to flash again.

No didn't work, will I have to install radio with this and if so which would be best?

What's your bootloader version?

Bootloader 0.93
Pluswhen I go into clockwork recovery it says
E:Can't find MISC:
E:can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't find MISC:
What have I done wrong? I followed all insructions.
Also when I try to install ROMS off of SD it gets half way then aborts.
Please help.

If you have PVT-4, use amon-ra recovery instead of clockwork.
To check, while the phone is off, press volume down and power on. Look at top left if it is pvt-4.
in unrevoked, choose recovery image amon-ra. you can download amon-ra image from this forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839621

Yes, that seems like you have to use AmonRA or CWM 2.5.1.8 (or newer 3.x.x.x) to make it work.

also dont forget basic things
1)partition sd card into fat32 and ext3 or ext4
2)view the requirements of the rom(MOST IMPORTANT)

Require is imho too much. Sounds for me like as if you cannot install this rom, when you do not have the custom hboot. But usually it's just recommended to install a custom hboot.

[Q] Broken Orange Desire - Trying to Root

Hi All,
I rooted my AMOLED Desire (on T-Mobile) back in June when it was a year old, did it through Unrevoked with ClockworkMod, flashed CM7, never looked back.
Got my Wife a SLCD Desire (on Orange) just after Christmas last year and now want to put CM7 on hers too.
Did the back ups, went to do the Unrevoked and it failed first time. Did it a couple of times and it seemed to go through OK. Booted fine, showed the SU app in the App Drawer. All seemed good to now backup the ROM from Recovery and flash CM7 + GAPPS + Radio.
However, when attempting the backup, I got these messages:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Can't find MISC:
The phone still boots fine, it is not bricked. Recovery works fine, but few options run with out giving these messages. I have re formatted the SD Card, but from searching, drive E: is internal.
I tried running Unrevoked again to flash Amon Ra, but it could not achieve root, asking if the firmware was too new.
The option is to use ClockworkMod to format Data &/or System, but was reluctant to just proceed with this action before consulting you guys!
Anyone able to give advice based on experience rather than guesswork!?
Many thanks in advance!
Steve

I dont know a lot about it, but E: is NOT a drive, a rookie mistake as I originally thought that, it just means Error: so its saying there are 4 errors as above!
Im sure somebody with more knowledge will come along soon to help you out, sorry I couldnt have been more help
Arty.

I used to get something like that too its fine.. if you're really bothered about it then S-OFF and then use android flasher to flash a new recovery.. which could solve the problem for you.

Sorted
Turns out the problem was because of the PVT4 thing, mine is PVT1 and I didn't get this trouble.
This site described my exact problem and gave me answer that I went with:
ht tp:// www .roms-au. com/installation/rooting/pvt4-issues/
The frustrating thing was that I couldn't find a Linux version of Unrevoked 3.21 anywhere, so had to go through Windoze and **** about with the whole HTC Sync and HBOOT driver stuff.
Still, it worked, so worth it in the end.

[Q] Clockworkmod Recovery :E Can't Find MISC

Try to use a different recovery. I remember not being able to do my initial backup using CWM after rooting with unrevoked on a PVT4 version of Desire. I replaced it with AmonRA long ago and was able to nandbackup.
Right now I use the one on my sig. The best recovery I've used.

reply
I looked at how to install Amon Ra recovery but will be unable to do it because I cannot "Enable USB debugging on the android device in settings" because I cant even boot my phone.

Then you have to do it via adb/fastboot check bortaks guide (on my sig and read flashing custom recovery) or search for android flasher and use it to flash a new recovery. keep your device s-off as it will be handy

If you're S-OFF do a full wipe (including recovery), then flash recovery and try to flash a ROM.
If you're not S-OFF, boot into fastboot mode (hold back & power) and either find the correct RUU for your network provider, or stick a goldcard up in your Desire and use the WWE RUU.
If you're too lazy to do either of those, you can risk the 2.3 RUU. The risk is if that goes bad, you have nothing to fall back on. If the 2.2 goes bad, you have others to fall back on, and the 2.3 one..
oh and stankyou, thanks for linking my guide on your sig ... though somebody needs to have it, I'll be outta here soon

[Q] Problem Installing Gingerbread; currently have Froyo 2.2 s-off

Hi,
I’ve been a lurker here on XDA and thanks to the great posts here have been happy with my DInc for much longer than expected :good:. I was hoping to post on the Incredikernal page as I think I am running Incredikernal (unless it got replaced when I flashed a new PB31IMG) but do not have enough posts yet. I Hope you can help with my current problem.
Current state:
After my DInc got stuck on the white HTC Incredible screen and trying to restore a nandroid backup failed (see History below), I flashed the stock Froyo PB31IMG from pvillecomp (outside link deleted) and flash in HBOOT directions on that site. The DInc booted up into Froyo 2.2.
I then tried to flash the stock Gingerbread image from that site, but the DInc got stuck in a loop (Droid screen, HTC screen, Droid screen…)
I then flashed back stock Froyo.
I then tried to install ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.0 via HBOOT, with file renamed to PB31IMG (per the instructions on androidforums
incredible-all-things-root/420788-how-regain-root-s-off-htc-unlocked-bootloader.html )
When I get into CWM, I get the following "errors":
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
When I tried to install Superuser per step 6 of that thread, I get the error E:Can’t mount /sdcard/
I thought maybe I needed to run the 5 Vibs of Death fix (SD Card fix (fastboot oem enable qxdm 0) and USB but given that my PC can read the SD card while it is in the DInc (Disk Drive under Connection Type with USB Cable plugged in) my thought is that this isn’t the problem.
Then I thought maybe I need to root the DInc using Unrevoked3 since it is on Froyo 2.2.
Then I thought maybe I need to work on the partitions, using Parted.
Now I am wondering if I should just leave well enough alone (at least my DInc is working again ), but thought I would ask here first. If I can't regain root, at least I would like to get Stock Gingerbread to work.
Any guidance is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Al
History:
I rooted my device years ago, but don’t remember if I used Unrevoked3. My DInc has s-off, and the Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik mod.
I had been running incredikernal and Tiny’s CM10.1 Inc builds happily for a long time, but after one of the updates the DInc started acting unstable, and so tried CM7.2, then wanted to try Jelly Bean and so tried Evervolv 4.3, but felt it was missing basic features (voicemail notification, etc), so went back to CM7.2.
While playing music via Bluetooth (phone plugged in to a 5v 1200ma charger if that matters), the phone suddenly died – when powering on it got stuck at the White HTC Incredible screen.
When powering on while pressing the Volume Down button I get:
INCREDIBLEC XD SHIP S-off
HBOOT-0.92.0000
MICROP-0417
Touch Panel-atmelc03_16ac
Radio-2.15.00.07.28
July 23, 2010 18:06:51
When I go to recovery I got the ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 Blue menu.
After this menu I got the following errors:
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
When I go to mounts and storage I get:
Mount sdcard - Error mounting /sdcard!
Mount emmc – Error mounting /sdcard!

Update:
I've regained root using Unrevoked3. Still got "can't mount" errors in CWM.
Then tried to fix the SD card mounting problem using the "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" command. Still getting "can't mount" errors in CWM,
but a different set of errors than before:
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.2
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
E:Can't mount /cache:recovery/command
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
E:Can't mount /cache:recovery/log
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
Still working on it...

Some phones don't like 1click rooting. Have you tried the command prompt method?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1600904

gyro_platter, thanks for the suggestion. Since my original post I have been able to re-gain root using unrevoked3. It took a few tries, but after removing CWM recovery I was successful.
Al

so you were able to install whatever gingerbread ROM you wanted? or does the problem still persist.

Hi Trozzul, thanks for the inquiry.
The problem still persists. Frankly, I have been trying to solve the "can't mount" problems first. No luck on that front yet either. I have created a new, hopefully clearer, post that reflects the current state of my various problems. Please see

I saw those exact symptoms on a phone a friend gave me to fix. My conclusion was hardware failure of the emmc (as I posted in response to another post of yours). I was able to get root on it by pushing the su binary and superuser.apk to their correct locations via adb and fixing their permissions, but froyo was the only rom that would flash. It was in service here until a few days ago when it got dropped into water. When I got around to it, I was gonna give this hack a go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175346&page=3
It's a way to completely install the ROM on an sdcard and not use the emmc at all. But since the water incident I think that inc is toast.

musical_chairs,
Thanks for the input. I suspect that my emmc might be bad also. The link you provided looks promising, but it looks like the zip file that Tiny created only works with AOSP ROMs. The only ROM I can get to boot is the standard HTC Froyo ROM, which is Sense. I will study that possibility further.
Thanks again,
Al

yeah i saw that too i think it only works with AOSP, i think the problem might be your recovery, i saw that you used two different versions, 5.0.x.x and 2.5.x.x, have you tried the latest, 6.0.X.X? not sure if our ol dinc is update able to 6.0.x.x, i would try another custom recovery too, i know my inc has some flashing issues on CWM

To limit confusion, please use the newer thread. Closed.
