I tried running unrevoked3 on my unbranded HTC Desire. It currently has HBOOT 0.80 and its a PVT1 model. I had previously rooted it with a guide before unrevoked was out, and used a flashable zip of clockworkmod to install ROMS. it currently has an MCR one.
I wanted to install Oxygen, And followed that thread's suggestion and wanted to install AmonRA's recovery. That led to trying unrevoked.
Now, when using unrevoked, i get to the part where it says 'waiting for root.. safe to restart if this does not work' - I have to remove the battery and start over there, does not restart on its own. After that, i get the 'internal error cannot find misc' error and nothing special happens, i go back to my normal ROM, and the recovery is the stock android one.
Any ideas?
From what I can see, I think you are trying to root over your current root?
I think your best bet will be to unroot with a stock RUU then reroot with unrevoked.
Yup, Restoring to the latest RUU and running unrevoked3 again worked. Thanks!
Glad I could help

after a nightmare of trying to downgrade from a 2.2 upgrade that i rushed into
Im now currently on
SLCD Screen Desire
HTC 2.1-update1 the t2 SLCD HTC RUU
ClockworkMod v2.5.0.1 SLCD
Hboot 0.83
rooted with unrevoked
anyway my question is
If i update to 2.2 OTA now will i lose my root?
If so how can i get to 2.2 on the setup i have and keep my root.
Im fairly new at this so any advice would be great...I just now the SLCD screen is causing problems when trying to do things the normal way
Thanks
All official updates will remove root.
The only way to run froyo rooted is to install a rooted froyo ROM. You can install that with your custom recovery.
Thanks. Any suggestions.
I've found lots on search but would like a good suggestion
A link would be great. Tried opendesire but got stuck on boot screen
Cheers
If you just want froyo but rooted then this:

I had the same situation after doing the blind-root procedure on my SLCD desire, and so far i've only tested...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741663
which is the official HTC 2.2 with root support, busybox, openvpn, ext4, wifi-n, and optional A2SD+.
It works fine with the SLCD screen, and i'm probably going to keep it till the official HTC kernel source is released.
The procedure is install the latest radio with the clockworkmod recovery console's install zip from sd card option, reboot via menu (an installer graphic pops up after this reboot), then once that's completed, install the main rom via the same recovery install zip option.
P.S. i tried opendesire first and got caught in a boot loop too, i think due to the lack of an ext3/4 partition on my SD.
Hello All, I had my htc ovo rooted with unrevoked 3.22. After flashed it with the 3.70.651.1 rom, I lost root and clockwork recovery; S-OFF still shows though. Now I could not reroot it with unrevoked since it was stuck at "Waiting for root". I also tried to flash it with a rooted 3.70.651.1 rom (renamed to update.zip and booted from stock recovery mode (red triangle and !) without any success. After I pick install from sdcard/update.zip, it said something like "Signature is not verified. Aborted". Should I wait for an updated unrevoked 3.2# or there are some manual rooting using adb shell. Any advices will be much appreciated by me. Thank in advance.

That way doesn't work, at least from what I've seen. All over that thread are folks that can't get it working on their 3.70 EVOs
Not sure if this will work with your 3.70 builds....but since you say you still have S-OFF, you have to reload the custom recovery back onto your phone and the superuser app. There are instructions over at the unrevoked forever wiki page here. Under Reinstalling an official recovery page, you can find both Amon_RA and CWM PC36IMG files for download and link for superuser.
Hello,
I have a Desire with stock Froyo which i rooted using Unrevoked 3.32 with the default recovery. Now I read online that there is a newer Desire, which doesn't get rooted properly, and I think I have one of them. In hboot my phone says PVT4 SHIP S-ON. I read that it's better to have the Amon Ra recovery flashed, so I downloaded it and tried to put it on the phone using Unrevoked again. But it crashed asking me to force close the Zyploit process. I tried using Unrevoked with the default recovery, but it did the same thing. Does anyone have an idea how to root the phone properly and get the Amon Ra recovery on it, so that I can change my rom?
Thank you in advance, and I am sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place. I'm a noob..
If your still not rooted, then you could use an older version of unrevoked, think 2.21 works the best but most people will just tell you to use revolutionary. Using revolutionary will make it a lot easier and should work flawlessly.
Hi
I'm trying to update ClockworkMod recovery in my Desire from version 2.5.0.1 to something newer. I've tried using Rom Manager to do this, but it didn't help. I've also tried running unrevoked again, but after completing the process, recovery still says it's version 2.5.0.1 . Any ideas how to update it?
I want to update it, because current version has some problems with ext4 partitions.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
best bet is to s-off and fastboot flash
Ok, but why unrevoked is not working? The point is, that i can try to S-OFF it, but I'm afraid the result will be the same (apart from having S-OFF phone).
because you're trying to root a rooted phone. Installing recovery is only part of the process and running unrevoked on a rooted phone only sometimes works.
Unrevoked flashes 2.5.0.7, unless before connecting the phone, you have selected an alternative recovery image you downloaded on your PC and if you are already rooted, it wont even do that sometimes.
If you're definitely running unrevoked properly and selecting an alternative recovery and it still doesnt work, then you have to do what I said.
Ok, thank you for explanation. I think i'll pass with S-OFF for now.
Looks like tiredness has got the better of me and I screwed up my bootloader (I think).
I purchased a pre-rooted DHD, it was rooted through Advance Ace Hack Kit. I have 4ext installed as the recovery and have Ice cold sandwich flashed. I do have a nandroid backup of the rom.
Unfortunately I was running Advance Ace Hack Kit just to see what the options were as I was looking for installing an eng bootloader, unfortunately I selected option 1 by mistake and the software started running, phone rebooted a few times and now it's just stuck at the splash screen. I was in two minds to stop it mid-process but thought that might make things worse.
I also cannot access my 4ext recover, instead I get the red triangle and the htc recovery.
Damn, I'm annoyed with myself. I am tired and got momentarily distracted. I know one thing, if this can be fixed I won't be doing this again:crying:
Can this be brought back to life?
Ok, I have got myself out of this predicament by installing the stock wwe rom. Thankfully the phone rebooted, started up and the phone is back in business.
Of course I am still s-off, however I assume I am now unrooted.
Is there an easy option to root the device bearing in mind the phone is s-off? I want to root and flash cwm or 4ext.
Thanks.
Wht version of the Rom did u flash

In the "Ace Think Tank" thread (linked in my signature), post #7, there is a PDF that includes instructions on flashing a custom recovery from an S-OFF phone. Start from the bottom of page 9, the section labeled "S-OFF no custom recovery." After that, just flash a rooted ROM from the recovery.
Or, assuming you have a working ROM, you could look into SuperOneClick. I think it roots a ROM if the phone is S-OFF (however, I have never used it and can't speak to its reliability). Then you can just flash a recovery from an app like ROM Manager or 4ext Updater.
Finally, again assuming you have a working ROM, you could try flashing SuperSU from the zip here. Again, untested, but it has restored root on at least one occasion that I know of to an unrooted ROM.
Please note that I'm just throwing ideas around. If anyone knows that any of these methods doesn't work please say so.
Hello all,
Thanks for the replies.
I have the phone working, I installed the wwe htc sense rom that comes with 2.3.5 and sense 3.0. Pretty much my phone is factory reset, but at least it works now.
I lost root but do have s-off.
Use superoneclick. 2.3.3 it can easy root stock sense 3.0 when you are S-OFF which you are already.
1.First press temp root and wait for it to finish.
2.second root and wait for it to finish.
3.enjoy.
Got it sorted. I flashed a cwm recovery zip from an sdcard in bootloader. With cwm flashed, I could restore a nandroid backup. Back in business again.
If you want to unbrick your phone, you need to download an official RRU, or RUU or whatever it is that it is called. It is an EXE file that you download on your computer and run it. You can get it from HTC website, or google it. It's a stock setup of your phone. So you put the phone in red triangle mode, connect it to PC, and run the RRU file. It starts its magic and the phone will be back to stock with the sense and GB and everything. Use the Ace Hack Kit again to get it rooted and S-OFF if it isnt already and then install RoM as you want to.
