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
OK so my evo has the 2.10 bootloader and software version 3.70. 651.1. I tried using the Z4root method to temporarily root then flash Unrevoked Forever but hit a snag. Though the temp root works and I flashed clockworkmod and Ra recoveries, when I try to boot into recovery to flash Unrevoked Forever I just get the phone with the red triangle and exclamation mark. I'm assuming this has to do with having the newest bootloader from the latest ota but any guidance would be appreciated.
dont use z4root for the 2.10 bootloader...not a fool proof method of rooting...you need to return your evo back to stock by downloading a ruu from this site and plugging your evo into the computer and boot into boot loader and run whtat you downloaded on your desktop ....http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Supersonic
once you have the evo returned to stock, use this root method to root hboot 2.10
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
this by far is the best method to root hboot 2.10
What is the point of running the Ruu? Would running an older ruu change the hboot back or leave it as-is?
Running the ruu that came with your phone will return your phone back to stock out of the box so you have a clean slate to use the root guide I gave you a link to...the root guide I gave u is the only reliable method for hboot 2.10
The reason you are having problems rooting with unrevoked is because unrevoked does not work with hboot 2.02 or 2.10

I was rooted on 3.29 and unrooted so I could install the OTA 3.70. Unfortunately, hboot still shows S-OFF, so now I can't root or unroot. Will flashing the stock 3.70 RUU flip S-OFF back to S-ON so I can root again?
In order for you to switch between s on and s off google search unrevoked forever and use their tool to toggle s on and s off

I had 2.02 hboot then I rooted and then derooted bc of issues. I noticed my hboot changed to 2.10. I followed the savior method and use z4root and all is well. I had zero issues.

I tried unrevoked-forever-son.zip, but it looks like it runs from recovery, which I can't get into. When I try, I get the red exclamation point and can only get out with the volume up and power buttons.
Hi everyone,
Will I used Unrevoked 3.3 yesterday and everything was fine till I restarted my phone and now the system is lost I can get it into recovery and bootloader menu however. But ive tried lots of PC36IMG and Flash OS ROMS nothings worked. Please help me and yes I have the new sprint ota 3.70 update and hboot 2.10.0001. I would greatly appreciate the help. If I restore the PC36IMG it gives me an error FAIL on radio. ******FIXED IT******

sounds like you dont have a recovery installed. i'm assusimg unrevoked provided you with S-OFF in hboot. use the file located here:
http://www.multiupload.com/H89AODJPP5
rename the file pc36img.zip, it will flash Amon_RA modified recovery for your phone. provided you have S-OFF, once this is complete, reboot into recovery and you should be able to flash any rom of your choice.
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.
Does unrevoked work with the newest ota that was just pushed?
it's been answered several times but the answer is no.

Ok, new to the forum, new(er) to rooting....
I understand the ota GB cant be rooted.... but... and Ive searched everywhere on numerous forums for about the entire day w/o finding an answer..... is there anyway to roll back the update to 2.2?
shipped-roms and the ruu seem to be out of biz, rsdlite was suggested by a friend... seems to only work with moto...
if it helps at all, I do have a dinc 2.2 rooted... problem is my fiance's phone, she accepted the ota before finding out it couldnt be rooted. Is there anyway to utilize anything from my phone to reflash hers?
Any help would be much appreciated... GB update is killing her phone
Thanks

There is no way to roll back, the phone wont let you. And no nothing from your phone will help. Has your gf phone ever been rooted?
If its S-Off it could be rooted. Otherwise, no.

You should be able to use Unrevoked:
http://unrevoked.com/recovery/
make sure you have the droid incredible driver installed on your PC as well.
--
This process should root your phone, you'll then be able to flash other ROM's that may prove to be quicker, drain less battery, more stylish.

Not sure if unrevoked would work or not. But if your s-off you can just flash cwm or amon ra recovery thru hboot, and then flash the super user binary thru recovery. Bam your rooted.
Clockwork Recovery 5.0.2.0 --> http://dinc.does-it.net/PB31IMG.zip Place on root of sd in no folders.

See my post a couple up.
And for your info unrevoked gave the to new firmware error because you must be on the stock froyo radio for it to work, you are on the latest gingerbread radio. And there is also a newer version of gingerbread out, the official one 4.06.605.3 ruu you can get it in the dev section but if you do go from .2 to .3, do it before rooting as it will also un-root you.

I read your previous post and follow your instruction but with no luck. I tried several custom recovery and renamed it to PB31IMG.zip but always fail. Is there any other way to flash the custom recovery, perhabs with fastboot, adb, etc and how? Can I flash back to RUU Froyo OTA then use unrevoked to get root since I already S-OFF?
Edit: Done! I get root again, thanks cmlusco. The problem is my SDCard which I used in Desire before. After reformatting the SDCard, everythings went well.

Glad to hear you got it working.
My gf finally wants me to root her Dinc and I noticed it's running 2.3.4 and dead stock. From reading here I guess it CANT be rooted now?
Has anything changed since the last post in this thread or is there a topic I should be following to find out when/if/how I can root the phone?

I have the exact same scenario but in the past I have never rooted a phone other than to get rid of software (that sprint forced on EVO) so I have never used recovery. I have been searching but maybe didn't go back far enough to be clear. Do I just copy the files as you stated and then select "recovery" while in the hboot screen???

You take the PB31IMG.zip and the su.zip and place them on your sd card in no folders. Boot into hboot and wait a couple secs. It will find the PB31IMG.zip and prompt you to hit volume up to flash it. Once thats done then select recovery from hboot and select install zip from sd and select the su.zip. Answer yes when prompted to install. After it has finished reboot your phone and install thr superuser app from the market. Thats it then your fully rooted.
Thanks for your help again.
I hit volume up to flash and within about a second it shows update complete and asks to reboot device. I've tried both ways Yes and No, with No continuing on and doing the su.zip as instructed. It doesn't seem to do anything either way. How long should the PB31IMG take to flash?
