Ok I have a cellular south htc desire that I rooted several months ago via unrevoked. Root was successful, but I did not gain s off ability. Not really a problem till now. I am trying to use firerats custom partion with miui or cyanogen, but neither flashes seem to take. After doing some research, I think it is because I still have s-on and I am not allow to write custom partions to memory.
Anyway, does anyone know of a way to get s-off after the CDMA desire has been rooted? I tried unrevoked again, but it didn't work with a nonstock rom. I am sick of these low memory errors, and am hating HTC for not including a little more system memory.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Apparently only certain radio version get S-OFF using unrEVOked, as to which I don't know

I have rooted my DHD using unrevoked3. I have super user permissions app, and clockwork mod recovery. Then I read that you can't install a custom rom without S-OFF. Do I still need to do the Visionary+ w/DHD eng script?
I thought my DHD still had S-ON but now I don't think I could have clockwork without it being off.... I'm confused.
Anyways I did go ahead and attempt the Visionary+, but perm root doesn't seem to do anything. I could probably skip that step I guess. The DHD script complains about busybox not being installed which is probably done during the perm root of visionary. I then installed Titanium Backup and did the check errors function and installed busybox. It said it installed, but terminal emulator still complains about busybox.
Confused. Can anyone help me?

are you sure you have a DHD unrevoked is for the desire/evo/wildfire ect anyway however you rooted, you can use this tool to s-off

btw if you have rooted using unrevoked and have clockwork mod installed, you dont need to s-off to flash a rom, you already have write acess to the nand in recovery
How did you do that using unrevoked on DHD?
or you remove nandlock only with unrevoked and root with visonary ?
Something isn't right here. It isn't possible to root dhd with unrevoked

Someone Swyped my idea.
Further information on Unrevoked & DHD
I seem to be having the same problem as the OP.
A bit of background: I just upgraded from my HTC Hero, and had some experience of rooting and installing custom ROMS on that device. My first job when I got my new HTC Desire HD was to get it rooted so I could get all Orange's crap off of it and have a streamlined new phone.
However, in my haste, I used Unrevoked, failing to notice the difference between a bog-standard HTC Desire and the newer HTC Desire HD. The upshot: Unrevoked *did* succeed in rooting my phone and installing ClockworkMod Recovery, but now the recovery partition thinks it's an old-fashioned HTC Desire and so won't install DHD ROMS. I can install bog-standard Desire ROMS to my heart's content.
So, I'm in a bit of a mess. I want to install a DHD ROM on my DHD, but I can't. Also, now that I've already gone through one rooting process, the standard procedure doesn't work, so I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to proceed. Any advice would be appreciated. Should I:
- try to get the phone back to its unrooted condition as it was when it came out of the box (in which case how do I do that?)
- flash a different recovery partition in the hopes that I can get it to recognise that my phone's a DHD and not an old standard Desire?
- fiddle about with the ROMs to get them to bypass the device checks (in which case how do I do that?)
Any other suggestions, let me know. It's possible I may have stumbled on a new method for rooting a DHD...
To fix it, just flash 1.32.405.6 RUU.
But I have to say, that is not possible
Desire ROMs on DHD, without S-OFF, everything is just simply wrong. Are you even sure that you have a Desire HD? Please send me a picture of your Desire HD running some Desire ROM.
oops
OK, it appears that there's a much simpler solution. Orange appear to have sent me the wrong phone.
Sigh...
Hahhahhah, good job Orange

ok, so to Orange's credit, I've sent back the wrong phone, and they've sent me the right one, next day delivery, having knocked 40% off the original price. Looking forward to playing with it this evening - I won't be touching Unrevoked with a barge-pole!
thanks @jkoljo for alerting me to the possibility that I might have been sent the wrong thing!
we get there in the end...
Very nice, good luck with your new phone
I have looked all over XDA, as well as Google, but I've been unable to find and answer. From my research, I've found that with my HBOOT version - 1.06 - my phone is unrootable. What I haven't seen is anyone trying to downgrade the HBOOT to .9x. My phone was rooted with this version, but for some reason unrEVOked 3.32 didn't turn the security off. Now I'm stuck with the sh*tty stock HTC Sense rom. I have tried installing a Alltel (I have US Cellular) 2.1 recovery rom, to no avail. Is it possible to downgrade the HBOOT, with rooting? I understand that the unEVOked team is working on a fix, but I'm getting impatient. (I don't blame them, they are doing this out of the goodness of heart in their spare time. Anything they do - and have done - is greatly appreciated.) I want to install an aftermarket rom so I can underclock the CPU and save battery, as well as free up some space for apps.
im having the same issue with my new desire =[
No. You can't downgrade, you can't use another carrier (that's what CDMA is all about), you can't do anything. You have to wait for a fix.
Damn. i cant wait for Unrevoked to find a way...
/sigh
If only I lived in Europe, where the GSM carriers don't suck @ss. I've noticed the GSM Desire owners have a lot more activity then their CDMA cousins. I should have known better then to use an official HTC roms to upgrade. I made the same mistake with jailbreaking my iPod Touch, a few times.

Im wishing to root my HTC Desire CDMA but im having quiet the issue. Im running v2.2 and HBOOT 1.06 and s-on using Windows. I've tried using unrEVOked3, z4root, and SuperOneClick, and Universal Androot but I've received absolutely no luck. So my question is, is there anyone out there running the same specs as me and have accomplished my wish?!?!?!
1.06 hasn't been rooted and is unlikely to be
is there anyway of downgrading either v2.2 or Hboot to one that is compatable? Or there is away to turn s-off allowing me to disable NAND? Could you correctly tell me how to remove HTC Sync?
don't think you can downgrade. If it was a GSM phone then there are ways but no idea on CDMA phones. Think you're stuck until HTC unlock the bootloaders (assuming they do)
Just thought I would make a new thread on here so someone could help. I have searched for HOURS trying to find a why and even tried combining some methods with the same end result. :-( Surely between us... "the world wide web" we can find a way. I'm not a genius but I learn very quickly. Any help is greatly appreciated. So far it says it can't be done, but I have faith that we are better than that. So what do you think?
My desire has the updated android 2.2 with the new hboot 1.06 not rooted and s-on.
hi there,
head over to http://revolutionary.io/ and s-off your device, (make sure you have USB debugging selected in settings on your phone, and when asking for your beta key select: Desire CDMA, and select your 1.06 hboot), then download the superuser from http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip and flash that in recovery
if you need any help pm me
I have tried that. One of the requirements is that it must be rooted. I can not root my phone using Revolutionary because it is not supported yet. You can S-off the desire Hboot 1.06 but I cannot find ways to root and you must be rooted before you s-off to my knowledge. Please correct me if I am wrong. I will try again though. Thank you.
Unrevoked 3 runes through everything PERFECT until the very end. It says Desire was a TRIUMPH and under that then states "internal error nand root?" I just want to root this so i can flash and install cyanogen 7.
Your device does not need to be rooted to run revolutionary,and it is supported I checked

When I do that it gets stuck at waiting for fast boot.......
done.. had to do it a bit tricky but good to go now. fully rooted with s-off running cyanogen 7.0.3
Hello
I've been asked by my dad to root his HTC Desire, to remove bloat and make it faster and last longer, etc etc.
But i've run into some problems. (Let me just say i'm not a complete noob at rooting, i've rooted Desire HD, EVO 3D and a Prime tablet before, and flashed roms etc etc)
I've successfully downgraded it from Android 2.2 with HBOOT 1.02 (i think thats the one) to Android 2.1 with HBOOT 0.80. And i've succesfully rooted it.
Now i want to S-OFF the device, but Revolutionary doesn't support the HBOOT 0.80, it requires 0.93 or 1.02.
I've also read about the AlphaRev S-OFF method, but thats super old and it even says to use Revolutionary.
My end plan is to install LeeDroid rom (My dad wants to keep HTC Sense, but want it fast, and LeeDroid was the best rom i could find for this, or is there something better?).
In LeeDroid it also says it needs to create a ext-3 partition with ROM Manager, but i can't even find ROM Manager on the market, is that because of the fact that i'm currently running android 2.1, or?
I hope some good people out here can help me with my problems

First off: Don't use "bump" posts after just 10 hours. This is not "Instant Help".
Alpharev may be old, but works fine.
Don't even think about using ROM Manager, it will break your phone. Create the ext partition with gparted.
I don't know about Sense Roms, but i think you can use just any. Depends on which version you prefer. Best for performance and battery life should be the lower ones, like LeeDroid.

I quote everything.
I have S-OFFed my Desire with Alpharev and encountered no problem at all.
a) use alpharev
b) upgrade to 2.3 ruu and use revolutionary
c) rtfm made by Bortak

Revolutionary would be the easiest option. A few clicks and your phone is rooted, S-off and has clockworkmod recovery.
