Tried rooting device with unrevoked program but while it tries to root for about a minute an error pops up.
"ERROR: failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?"
Does anyone know anything about this, and know any other way to root the phone or bypass this error to perm root the phone?
Please HELP and Thank You

yes i have.i tried using the ruu's but i keep getting an error saying wrong bootloader.i dont know what else to do.
If you don't care about losing root, use the 2.2 unofficial RUU file and see if that works.
where do i find that?
i found it but not sure if i wanna lose root.i just wanna be able to flash cyanogen mod.it wont let me but i can flash any other rom..i keep getting an error when flashing rom in recovery.something about bootloader.anybody have any ideas as to why i keep getting that error?

This is how I was able to unroot:
1. Ran the 1 Click SimpleRoot OTA 1.47.651.1 Edition root program. This downgraded my evo to 1.17.651.1 while still mainting HBOOT .76.2000 (this is very important!)
2. Downloaded one of the RUU files (RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.05.31_release_171253_signed.exe), connected my evo and launched the update . Ensure you have the latest HTCSync software installed before running the program. I used version 2.0.40
I successfully unrooted my phone, and rooted it back to 1.47.xxx just as an academic exercise.
This should work for you. Also search the forum, there's a ton of info (albeit disorganized) on how to do this.

How To UN ROOT. TUTORIAL. Your Problems are solved!
That's where I run into problems.my hboot is .79.000. I use the ruu and i get errors about wrong bootloader.and simpleroot doesn't work.the step where u type in the website doesn't work.i get a blue Lego block with a question mark.
Which version of SimpleRoot are you using? I used the most recent version of the app (the latest has just 2 buttons NOT 4). Make sure after downloading to use the update option to check for updates. For some strange reason, the Simpleroot app is able to downgrade your HBOOT to .76.2000 (I couldn't achieve that by manually completing steps 1 & 2 of Toastchf method AND running the RUU - it always came up with that error UNTIL I resorted to the SimpleRoot method.) Maybe someone else can chime in. Anyways, give it a try.
Hi all,
I have managed to downgrade from android 2.2 to 2.1update1, and bootloader .92 down to .80.
However I still am not able to root this phone, I have tried many different methods and am now at a loss as i don't know what i am doing wrong...?!
When running unrevoked 3.14 the process seems to go thru ok until the message appears waiting for phone to reboot, then i get the error attached...
"communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. try again"
Drivers are installed as pictured in the attached as well.
any help would be great... please don't tell me to go an read the forums I have spent days doing this and have been unsuccessful...
Cheers

The simplest way: get a RUU, reflash, get unrevoked 3.21, root again. Works got most cases.

Hi, I was trying to root my htc desire like in this guide : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044 and when my phone needed to reboot it started to turn on and off and after that it was stuck on htc logo. I removed battery,turened my phone on and conected it to pc with usb and then unrevoked said "Internal error:failed to unlock NAND flash". Same thing happens when I try to do factory data reset. Help? :///
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Internal+error:failed+to+unlock+NAND+flash
Already googled,didn't find anything.
Hm...in hboot it says Sd checking....no image! is that ok?
k...tottaly lost...all night trie to root it...now it's hboot 0.83,rooting with newest unrevoked version gives same error,with reflash(older unrevoked) + recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd in the end just closes the window. And I dont know if I have done something cuz for some reason I can't download root check from market. Oh and I also made goldcard...
Try downloading Titanium Backup, if that works for you - you are rooted.
(Did you tried unrevoked 3.21? AFAIK its the most stable version.)

Not rooted,let's try nrevoked 3.21.
I can't find nrevoked 3.21 to download...
Tryed this http://androidforums.com/desire-all...dows-updated-20th-may-2011-a.html#post2446725 it was a triumph. But it restarted again and after that couldn't find misc.

Well if u find solution pls let me know
Unrevoked 3 program gets stuck at "Waiting for root...”
I have been trying to root my device for last 3 days .I have done enough research and gone through various forms .
Following the guide ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035 ) successfully got my device S-OFF using Revolutionary .
In step 2 : according to guide downloaded and tried
“RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3 .35.15.31_release_130814_signed_2”
Got stucked with non-working touchscreen.
Again downloaded and tried “RUU_Buzz_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.24.707.1_Radio_13.5 5.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_161113_signed”
Now touchscreen is working but it is showing android 2.2.1 again .So what's the point of downgrading ?
Run Unrevoked and it is unable to gaining root.
It shows :
Running preboot seq….
Waiting for reboot…..
Running root…
Waiting for root…..( I have waited for 20 mints but it keeps saying this)
[ USB debugging is enabled
Usb drivers are installed
Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone. ]
After all this mind boggling i have reached here :
Android 2.2.1
Revolutionary
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.01.1002
MI CROP-0622
RADIO 3.35.20.10
Should I use different version of unrevoked ? 3.31 ? here..( http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/20/how...evoked-method/ )
But again in guide “androidybloidy” says in step 3 :”Download the test version of unrevoked (here). Let me repeat, DO NOT USE UNREVOKED 3.32 as it will lead to CID errors or to be precise this error
"Validation error, backup CID is missing".”
What to do now ? Do I need to downgrade to 2.1 éclair to use revoked ? Do I need to download Éclair RUU for India ? If “yes” where can I get the download link ? Some forums say I don’t need to if I have already got S-OFF.I am totally lost.
Now I feel like tearing my hair out.
Any ideas ? How can get around it?
Any help would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.
I wanted to try the method suggested by “3xeno” on #83
http://joel5121.blogspot.com/2011/06...-tutorial.html
but under “clockwork recovery” the link to “fastboot tool “ redirects to http://htcdev.com/ and there is no tool like “fastboot tool” on that page.Again the download link to “recovery for wildfire”in step 4 is broken.
What should I do ?
Should I follow this ? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1130044
Is there a way out ?
feel like throwing my HTC out the window:confused:
SOLVED
Finally installed ClockworkMod recovery and Rooted the device.
are you trying to put a custom rom on the phone or just root it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12188132&postcount=15 follow this guide to put a custom recovery on it, follow method 2.
now, if your going to flash a custom rom just do this from your new recovery and your new rom will have been pre rooted. (well, it should be ) if not then im pretty sure that there is a flashable superuser zip that will give you root once you`ve s-offed but i cant remember where i saw it but i think tht would be youe best bet without having to downgrade again.
how did you make it work cause im having the same problem
yeah if you said its working how did you make it work :was it using the non-test version or did u try something else
If you want to de-brand (downgrade Hboot from 1.01.0002 to 1.01.0001), root or flash I have a comprehensive guide to do that
It's in my sig
Hey dude,
How did u finally resolve that?
I'm stuck at "waiting for root" .

I´ve used the unrevoked 3.32 and it worked perfectly.... Maybe you should give a try.

So, did I screw up? I reflashed to stock 2.2 in order to fix a few issues. I got the OTA message to update and I did, so now I'm on 2.3.4 with no way to re-root because I can't turn s-off. Would it be safe to use the unrevoked s-off forever tool or should I go with the gingerbreak.apk method. I feel like an idiot for updating, so take it easy on me... LOL! Thanks in advance.
I used this guide to get my Incredible rooted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306400
My first time ever rooting an andriod device. May work for you, may not. You didn't say which device you have. I ended up using the zergrush method to get mine rooted with s-off. Not sure I needed to use that method since I had screwed up and made myself think I had to try it that way.
Rooted DINC ADR6300 with CyanogenMod 7.2 S-OFF
Thanks, but it didn't work for me. Not sure if it's because I'm a Mac user or what, but it was definitely a no go. I don't want to be stuck un-rooted forever! LOL!

The method in the link above is the only way to root an incredible on android 2.3.4 that is s-on. Your best bet would be to find a friend with a pc and try it again.

I also was successful in rooting my Inc using the older version of Unrevoked in this thread (version 3.22 I believe). I stopped before doing the full downgrade and S-OFF... I haven't decided if that is worth the hassle or not.
Previously rooted, here you go

Kind of a pointless video. Of course you can root 2.3.4 if your already s-off. That is the whole point of being s-off, so if newer firmware comes out that isnt supported by unrevoked or other rooting programs, you can still easily get root by flashing a custom recovery thru hboot and the su binary thru recovery, and your fully rooted again.
