Yes, that is accurate. They released it about a week ago or so, maybe not even. There have been mixed reports about it, but I believe that as long as you make sure you have the correct hboot drivers(available on thier site, click more info, and be sure to install the hboot drivers correctly :: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install), have usb debugging turned on on you're phone, be sure that all programs that communicate with your phone via usb (htc sync, pda net, dropbox, etc...just anything) are uninstalled or de activated before doing this, they can interfere. I think you also want to turn off your anti virus during the process. Make sure your battery is charged up before you do this, as it would be very bad, I think, for it to die in the process.
I have already used this twice, following the 'checklist' I just listed there, and following those hboot driver install instructions. My sister's fiance was 3.70 software with 2.1 hboot. It worked flawlessly. My girlfriend's was 3.29 software, with .97 hboot. It still worked flawlessly, on the older setup as well. I encountered zero problems through the process. So I suggest giviting it a shot and getting a custom ROM on that thing, give Myn's a try, it won't disappoint.

[Q] Rooting HTC Desire... -completely lost-

Hey guys,
I'll start with a heads up; complete newb here so I hope i have the right forum/section. Furthermore I appologise for my English, it is not my native language so I hope I can make myself clear. So far for the disclaimers.
Here's the situation; I have a Dutch HTC desire and I am absolutely lost in the rooting proces. I'll give you guys my specs first;
Phone
- HTC Desire running Android 2.2 Froyo from the OTA update
- Hboot version 0.92.0001
- NO Goldcard, regular microSD 4 gig that came with the device, haven't altered it
- Radio 5.09.00.20
PC:
- Windows 7 x64
- HTC Sync installed
Now I want root, preferebly with OpenDesire and A2SD so have been googling about the entire weekend now, but haven't found any guides that match my specs fully, havent got a clue where to start really with the rooting process. For instance; most downgrading guides talk about needing to use Hboot 0.92, where mine is 0.92.0001. Also some guides tell me I need a goldcard, others say I don't.
This is where I'm at right now, having read several guides these are the steps I think I have to take;
1. Backup everything using Mybackuppro
2. Downgrade using PB99IMG.ZIP. Is this correct, and will it work with my Hboot? Will I need a Goldcard for this?
3. Root the phone using Unrevoked. Will this work, concedering I have HTC Sync installed, and if no will a normal uninstall through the Windows programs uninstall be sufficient for "Uninstall HTC Sync completely" or are further meassures required? Will it work on my radio version, or is this not of any matter at this point?
I believe that at this point, my phone is worthless, right? There is no rom installed, so at this point I would need to install a rom. So on to step 4;
4. Install OpenDesire rom. I have read things about it having to be a zip file, the files I found though were .exe's Will the .exe do, or have I found the wrong files? Also I read that in order for the camera to work on OD, i need radio version 5.x, which I do. Will the rooting/downgrading proces make any changes to the radio version also?
5. Is this it? Have I missed anything, or are these roughly the steps I have to take to downgrade from 2.2, root, and install OD (which I believe also is a 2.2 version, with the JIT correct?)
Any tips, advises and remarks would be highly appriciated, coming from an ancient Nokia E65 I'm sort of unsure how to handle Android, how import small nuances like the exact version of Hboot are.
Also, if I have left out any important information please do not hesitate to ask, i'll reply ASAP.
Not one reply? Anyone?

Dude did u manage to root your desire let me know ? i can pm you the links
You probably have the new phones which is with the SLCD screens. There is currently only 1 method to root those. But you need to operate with a black screen. Which means you won't be sure if you really pressed the right option or not. Try search for the SLCD root for HTC Desire.

Downgrading will require a goldcard if your phone is network branded. It is necessary to root your phone.

Still have the AMOLED version, not the SLCD one... Was one the first with a Desire in Holland, just sort of late with rooting it... and now there's hundreds of outdated tuturials, making it hard to figure out which ones still work

Ok, thx. I bought the phone without any form of network branding, your post implies that I will not be needing a goldcard then, correct? Or do I need it anyway for A2SD?
Right, what ROM is on it at the moment? IF it's 2.09.405.8 then do the following...
Download this file:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...8U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed_txt.zip
and rename it PB99IMG.zip (not PB99IMG.zip.zip!!) and copy to the root of your SD card. Turn phone off and boot into HBOOT by holding Vol-down whilst turning it on. Follow the instructions and allow it to update (assuming it works). Once done, reboot and you'll be back on 1.21.405.x and you can now root your phone using unrEVOked

If you run this utility it will tell you if you need a goldcard. If you do need one, you can quit it, make one, and run it again.

Thats great! It is 2.09.405.8 acctually, so I am going to give this a try first thing in the morning, i'll start reading the link you gave now... Thx so much, I will keep you updated!
The problem with the first method is that it corrupts your misc partition, which will need fixing. The second one takes care of everything.
Worked like a charm guys, thanks so much! Running OpenDesire right now, absolutely love it! Thanks again!

unrevoked 3.2

Recently I was finding a way to root my phone with froyo. I found that unrevoked 3.2 was out and I was downloading it, the real version was out but was taken away due to some problems but there is still a test version for those who want to root devices with froyo.
I have tried it with 2 HTC Desire devices and it still has not worked, see how it works for you. Any ideas when the actual versions will come out? The problems I have faced were that unrevoked reflash program did not recognize my phone when it was connected to the computer. Any way to make it work?
Thanks!

Hey all,
As you may have seen elsewhere, we've been working pretty hard to bring you unrEVOked 3.2 with out-of-the-box, one-click support for all Android versions on the GSM and CDMA desires.
Available for Linux, Mac, and Windows:
http://www.unrevoked.com/recovery/
Please start by visiting the help page and reading it through:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked3
1. Windows users MUST install the HBOOT drivers for this to work:
http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php?id=public:windows_hboot_driver_install
2. Windows users need to uninstall HTC Sync or any other program that might talk to the phone over USB (doubletwist, etc). Disabling HTC Sync from the system tray is not enough. They interfere with the root process and will cause problems.
3. When asked for USB connection type, select "Charge Only" and "Remember this".

Brand New Evo. Which root guide to use

Hardware 0003
baseband 2.15.00.09.01
kernal 2.6.32.15
build/software 3.30.651.2
pri 1.77_003
Hboot 2.02
I just bought this Evo today, and I really want to root it just like I did my Hero (so I have experience with roms and command prompt) but I dont know which root guide to use. There are a few I found, and since it's a brand new Evo with the latest OTA's, software's etc, I don't want to use the wrong guide and brick my phone. What would be the best guide to follow for this latest model?
Everything I see is for different softwares and hardware 0004.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Sorry, thanks. Right now I'm looking at this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045&page=4
Anyone else have any ideas?
I'm having a few issues with the first few steps. If anyone could help, it would be awesome. Kinda a drawback of having a brand new version. Also making sure all my Android SDK is all installed
Im having trouble with step 2.) Open a command prompt and change to where ever you extracted the files to.
I have the folder extracted to: C drive -> HTC Evo
All the extracted files are in HTC Evo folder. How do I do this in command prompt? The rest I can do. I rooted my old Hero just fine. I just need the steps for the first few parts. I get HTC or whatever is not recognixed as an internal or external command etc. I have the HTC sync software all succesfully installed and everything rebooted.

Honestly the easiest way to root these days is using Unrevoked
As far as I know it will work on any Evo. You will need to hboot drivers which you can find here. Also, make sure that you have HTC Sync uninstalled, as it gave me problems when I rooted.
edit: I am not sure of the new versions you speak of, but you could probably give Unrevoked a try anyways.
Do not use unrevoked or it could pemanently corrupt your radio or boot loader
I never heard of that happening to users using the unrevoked method.
I suggest subscribing to their Twitter. They let us know when and how to OTA update.

I am having problems as well. I've tried unrevoked and several other manual methods to root the EVO I just bought yesterday, and no luck!
From what I can tell, the HBOOT version is 2.02.0000 and everything I've found online is for an older version of HBOOT.
Does anybody know how to downgrade this new HBOOT? The only thing I've found in the forums is for downgrading an older version of HBOOT. And please no methods that require .NET.
Try zBoot on the market. I used it to root my GF's Optimus-S. It works with a lot of phones, and although they say it isn't supported with the EVO, I have read that some people have had success.
Ok, I cross-posted to the CM forums too, here's the response that I got:
You won't be able to downgrade the hboot. and your camera will not work on cm for now since htc is using new hardware for the camera in the 2.02.0000 versions.
Follow this to root and get S-off.

Goddamit stop trying unrevoked it doesn't work with new hboot (software 3.30) and that zbot thing doesn't work on NAND protected devices like the evo. You are shortening your phones life. i consider it my duty to help people root in extsnge for downloading all the developers roms. My email, gtalk, and im are all [email protected].

[Q] Desire 2.2

I bought an unbranded/unlocked Desire a few days ago, and it had Froyo preinstalled.
It REFUSES to connect to HTC Sync, and it seems impossible to root using unrevoked too (i've tried Vista, Win7 and Ubuntu). All without success. I have tried EVERY method/guide/tutorial out there.
So my question is this. HOW DO I ROOT?!
I'm thinking of using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
And then using unrevoked on the stock 2.1, but in that thread it says
Update:
The new version of unrevoked3 (3.21) can now root froyo ROMs directly, and a downgrade is no longer necessary if you just want to root and install custom recovery, although there appear to be a few issues with this new release. If you want to rebrand/debrand your phone, rooting won't achieve this and you can use this method instead. If you cannot get the new version of unrevoked3 to work you can also run this and use the older version (3.14) that works with Android 2.1.

So i have no garauntee that unrevoked will work on 2.1 either, and i'm not downgrading for no reason.
Does anyone have any ideas, cause i'm running out of ideas here.

Does it have a new H-boot that unrevoked cant do yet? What is the H-boot on the phone?
Does unrevoked come up with any errors? Have you instaleed the correct drivers, adb for it?
What is your hboot #?
Power off, press down volume and power on should tell you at the top.
Then check the sticky topics, at the top of dev section, as they have solved newest hboot problems.
Ps this is best for the q&a section, good luck, and sure we'll all try and help.
Desire is the source of all suffering.
HBOOT number is 0.93, take it this is too new?
The non-connection to HTC Sync worries me, if it wont connect to the manufacturers software, what is there to make me think it will work with anything else?
Don't quote me on this but unrevocked should work on 0.93,
Best is to get suck into this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709146&highlight=unrevocked
And see how you do.
Goes through the whole deal with drivers etc.
Do you have ADB yet? because you can use adb devices to check to see if your desire is connecting to your computer, but as cjm1979 said you need to get latest drivers from the adb, but seem to remember you have to uninstall htcsync anyway to use unrevocked. But it should all be there in that guide.
But getting adb and drivers is important.
> Uninstall HTC sync 3.x version from your windows box and install 2.x version and then try it ( Important: Disable any firewall/antivirus tools when doing it)
The latest version of unrevoked should work.
Just found this in the unrevocked topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725738&highlight=solved&page=36
My HBOOT version is 0.93.0001
Follow the instruction to unrevoked,f after installed the HBOOT driver and enable USB debug, run unrevoked as administrator and connection "charging only",
the unrevoked still not start as follow, any idea?
Solved: I never install HTC sync.
Read all post found similar situation and I install and uninstall HTC sync. Problem resolved.
Never used htcsync for myself anyway.
Ok guys, i found the problem.
This is embarassing, But i forgot to uninstall DroidExplorer which unknown to me, was cocking it all up silently. Uninstalled that, ran unrevoked and it looks to be working, i'm currently on the ClockworkMod recovery screen. Yeah, all working now, and i should be rooted now.
Am i correct in saying that since the phone was unlocked/unbranded, i can now just whack an update.zip on my SD and flash it? Or is there anything else to be done before that (I know enough to do a Nandroid backup before that step)?
Thank you all for helping an idiot solve his non-problem!
I've uninstalled Sync, moved the drivers to system32, ran unrevoked as admin, ran it in compatibility mode, nothing. All required drivers/softwares/fairy dust is present. I really have tried nearly everything listed on tutorials. I've damn near broken googles servers just searching for a fix!
You don't copy any drivers, HTC sync installs in 2 parts - the program and the drivers.
Once installed, go into Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the program but leave the drivers. This works fine
Then make sure unrEVOked is running BEFORE you connect your phone, and make sure USB Debugging is enabled on the phone
One of the tuts i read said movng the drivers to system32 might help, but did it hell. I'm all rooted now, just installed TitaniumBackup, is it meant to ask for permissions 2000 times every time i do something? It just asked me about 20 times O.O

Once, when you've ticked the box,
Unless your talking about superuser notifications which you can turn of in the superuser app
Desire is the source of all suffering.
You mean the 'remember' box? Yeah, done that too but it keeps popping up asking for permissions anyway.

Yes meant the remember box, is the box always the SU box or is it a grey notification box saying SU access has been granted.

[Q] Removing a rom, fixing a mistake, and getting to normal

I really have this huge problem that's been really bugging me all week and i cant seem to concentrate with it over my head. I am new to rooting devices and i was a little ahead of myself recently... I finally rooted my phone and over my excitement i just had to add custom roms to my Evo 4g, i didnt really understand what i was doing, i mainly followed instructions to most sites, mainly cyanogen, and got the latest version of cyanogen, i had troubles starting it up at first, it was stuck on the bootup screen for cyanogen (droid on skateboard with spark flying around) and it kept going black and reloading, i didint know what to do, so i took the battery out after a hour of waiting then i wiped my drive in fear of bricking my phone (i know i wasnt thinking) i did not make a back up of my previous point of time where i actually practically running stock, and i am still upset at that mistake, after doing a factory reset from the clockwork recovery, cyanogen finally booted up, but was missing alot of things, i.e. android market and so on... im now wanting to go back to stock and i have already got Son somehow, can anyone help walk me through this, id very much appreciate it!!

The reason that you were missing things in Cyanogen, is because you didn't flash GAPPS (google apps), which are things like Market, Gmail etc. If you already have S-on, and you're sure you want to go back to stock, unrooted, then it shouldn't be too bad for you. One way would be to download a PC36IMG.zip, place it on the root of your sd card, boot into the bootloader (power+voldown), and it will flash the factory ROM for you. You could also run RUU, from your PC. Plug phone into PC with USB cable, and run the RUU from your computer. Either of those methods should work for you, and get you back to stock. Here are a couple links that might help you.

Thank you so much for a quick reply, it really helps, but one more question, i tried to run pc36img, but it keeps saying it failed because a older version was present, also, sorry for asking another, but i have also wondered this other method with all these other download links, there is alot and how would i know what one to use?
also! i tried running the first download and it keeps saying that my phone isnt connected even if it is? does it need to be in debugging mode or what?
you have to flash most recent gapps for market.

Do you know what hboot version you have? If not, boot into the bootloader (power+voldown), and it will say hboot version at the top I believe. If you have an older hboot version, I'm pretty sure you want an older PC36IMG or RUU. If you notice, they all list different software versions (3.70, 3.30, 3.29, 3.26 etc). The 3.70 is the newest, and I believe you'd use that for the newest hboot versions (2.10 or 2.02) The older hboot's (.76, .93, .97) I believe you'd use either 3.29 or 3.30. Someone please step in and correct me if I'm wrong or misinformed. I'm also not sure if you need to be in debugging mode, I would try putting it in debugging mode for sure (I've never had to unroot, but have read up on how to do it) If you are getting the main version is older when running the PC36IMG, I would try a different PC36IMG, one with older software, 3.29 or 3.30. I've read many times of people needing to try different ones before they got it to flash. That's why there are so many on there, because different phones may require different versions, I believe.

You sir [user above me] are correct. I have linked ya to a site with a lot of RUUs, and they list the version number.

Download the RUU, boot into the bootloader [turn off then hold vol down while phone turns on] then select fastboot, then run the exe, and follow zeh instructions.

Which PC36IMG or RUU did you try? (which software) You may need to try a couple different ones on there.
