Hi, I have a little problem here. I root my phone with UnrEVOked3, but I never use the UnrEVOked Forever, so I follow a simple unroot guide found here, and the guide say that if you don't use UnrEVOked forever you don't need to flash the s-on tool and skip to flash the PC36IMG.zip. So I did that and everything was fine but I have the s-off so, this is normal or I did something wrong.
** Ok nevermind I found that when you use Unrevoked3 at the end of the root process flash Unrevoked forever, so I root again and flash the s-on tool problem solve, please Delete this Post.

I'm ready to root and I've been reading and reading and reading and reading and I just don't understand how to root. I need a dummy proof way a step by step system to get this done. I know that my hboot is 0.97.0000. Someone please help me. I ready just need a more detailed root method. Thanks
Try this and skip the ota if you want to keep 0.97. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever You can later flash the latest ota ruu in recovery
Unrevoked Forever doesn't root the phone. It does NAND unlock (S-OFF) which allows you to flash custom ROMs.
You said your HBOOT is 0.97, so you can probably use Unrevoked 3.21/3.22 one click root to root your phone.

Once you are rooted, you can download the Wireless Tethering app from market.
Hey folks.Im trying to root my buddys evo and want to make sure i have everything in order before i go forward..
hboot is version 0.97
software 3.29.651.5
so im hoping i can just use the unrevoked forever to root his phone.Is this correct?It says i need a custom recovery how do i make a custom recovery so i can use the unrevoked forever?
Unrevoked Forever does not root, unrevoked3 does.
Since his HBOOT is 0.97, then yes you can use unrevoked3 to root.

Ok..thanks for the help.I installed unrevoked3 and it finished.I have the superuser icon also.BUT if i open hboot it still says s-on? Im confused about that.It looks like i got root but why is it saying S-on in hboot?
If anyone else has this same problem,here is what i did to get s-off.
After you use the unrevoked3 you now have ClockworkMod Recovery.Go download the Unrevoked Forever and put it on the root of you sd card.Now restart your phone in Hboot and go to recovery.When your in ClockworkMod Recovery you will see install zip from sd card,click.Find the Unrevoked Forever you just put on your sd card and run it.After it is finished you should now have S-Off .
Wooot!!
Hello, was wondering if I could get some help. I followed the instructions posted in the development thread. I am Rooting for the first time. I ran unrevoked3. then I flashed unrevoked forever from cwm. all of a sudden, I cant get into recovery. It just takes me to the bootloader. Should I reflash unrevoked3? I was reading in some threads that unrevoked forever is no longer needed and is built into unrevoked 3. Is this true?
At the top it does say S-OFF right? It should if it worked correctly. Also see my post from the other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12731089&postcount=277
If you flash it through hboot rename it to PB31IMG.zip. But you can just use ROM Manager to flash it too. I just never use RM, so I do everything the old fashioned way.
I think BrettApple is reffering to fashing a radio. If your device is indeed reading S-OFF at top, you have root access. Navigating to recovery option in HBoot should bring you to clwm. You could also try updating clwm with rom mangager see if that works.
Hello,
I've look through many threads and also googled the problem.
So perhaps, someone can help me.
I've rooted my desire with Unrevoked3. I got SU right on my desire.
But I can not get S-OFF.
In the bootloader I see S-ON.
So i can't flash an new HBOOT image on my phone.
So what's wrong?
Can someone help?
Greetings
First have a read on http://alpharev.nl
Here is the video tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084 (step four)
Just remember when S-OFF'ing you need a stock rooted froyo ROM, no 'data2ext' ROM's or it wont work.
What do you try to get s-off? With unrevoked you cannot set your phone to s-off, you have to use alpharev:

Ahh...
So, i have to use a rooted stock ROM like the one from MoDaCo.
And then I ccan flash the hboot image.
Is that right?
I am new as well. But I think the safest way would be to flash your RUU and start from scratch. Here is a video showing you how to flash your RUU. After you have flashed the RUU, read this guide. Follow everything step by step without skipping.
Dont forget to:
- Tick "Install unknown sources"
- USB debugging on
I followed that guide above and rooted my HTC desire, S-OFFed it, flashed the ROM perfectly. I got no issues at all. And it was easy to accomplish.

No, you have to set your phone s-off first. Instructions are given on alpharevs page. You can also follow instructions in the linked video.
After your phone s-off, you can flash a different hboot.
But remember, it's very easy to brick your phone with flashing a hboot if you do not care/know what you are doing!!
Hey guys, I did it..
Thanks for help.
For everyone with same starting problems here a short description.
1. Make a goldcard with the GoldCardToll
2. Make a downgrad with the downgrad23 tools
3. Unroot with unrevoked3
4. S-OFF with the iso from AlphaRev
5. Install the hboot you want.
That's it..
The phone is stuck at a screen with a blue android and a ! sign for more than 30 minutes. My wife decided to apply the update without asking me. Any ideas what to do now....
I have a backup of the phone just after it was rooted.
Hm.
I was more scared than I should have been - the phone has booted in CWM and the and CWM tried to install the OTA and failed.
I rebooted the phone and everything was back to normal:
To sum it up: rooted Desire+Stock ROM+OTA =nothing happens (at least here)
Go into fastboot and flash 2.3.3 RUU (a guide can be found in bortak's troubleshooting guide). Then use revolutionary to go S-OFF and get root:

But read documentary very carefully before you are doing something!

Some people have provided the OTA as a flashable zip file, so I will just flash it the usual way Saves time
Any way, thanx for your answer
PS. The think I really CANT understand is why my fiancee refuses to get a custom ROM without lots of unneeded bloatware. Whatever
