I'd appreciate if someone could help me here.
I sent my phone in for warranty, and I recently got it back, they switched the mainboard. Now I'm unable to root. When running Unrevoked 3.3 (both with standard and custom, Amon-RA 2-0, recovery). It's stuck on "pushing recovery".
Hboot info:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051D
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
Mainversion is 2.29.405.5.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, but I've already read that. I didn't understand it fully out. Does it mean that I can't root?
Bump, please help?
Still no luck, please help?

Did you tried the last unrevoked 3.32? If it doesn't work, mean u are missing something..check drivers etc..
I have the same phone, and after some problems rooted it with amonra 2.01 through unrevoked. Make sure you remember the unrevoked driver install.

Hey... I think I'm having the same problem with Unrevoked's latest version -- 3.32. Details of my phone's hboot screen are:

Plz Help!!!!!!!
It says the root process was triumph. And then, it gives the error -- Validation Error: Back CID is missing.
Other Info:
-- I've no idea how come this is S-OFF -- actually, it's a used device I bought from ebay.in in India
-- Also, how to find out whether this phone is SLCD one or the AMOLED one. My another phone is Galaxy S which has Super AMOLED Plus and looking by its displau quality, I think the desire is AMOLED.
-- It would be helpful too if there is a way to find out its origin -- UK, Germany, etc?
Help!
First, uncheck "disable security" in unrevoked. Second, try custom recovery, amonra seems to be working for everyone. Mine has same specs and i successfully rooted twice, both time with amonra, but unrevoked forever is not supported, hence you have to uncheck that security thingy (can't remember exact wording, it's in unrevoked-file-...security...
Used unrevoked 3.2 Test to solve this!

Hey.. thanks for pointing it out but I already got it alright by using the 'unrevoked 3.2 Test' file. I know it was very risky and the test file was withdrawn by the developers because of bugs, but I just did it and it's fine now. S-OFF is still S-OFF, recovery installed fine, though!
Thanks you, again!
I believe desire is sold with s-off by default in India and China. Hence,its from one of these two countries.

I've successfuly applied new recovery and rooted with the latest unrevoked, but before that it was needed to roll back to 2.2 rom...

yes you can install custom roms now. but if there is a rom that requires 'custom hboot' like DATA++ or CM7 hboot etc you would have to s-off first.
also you never MUST flash new radios, it is only if you want to or if your phone doesnt work properly anymore (connection issues).
i was in your situation week ago. and believe me, it was worth S-OFFing my device. it was super easy (as easy as rooting, CD method) and the benefits are... well data++ roms are super-fast, and when i was using a2sd+ or data2ext roms (which is what you will be using) i kinda fooled myself that i dont care bout lags damn, now i couldnt cope with it !
if you want the -new Sense- roms (from desire HD or desire S) go for s-off it is worth it. if you want stock desire sense or non-sense rom, there is no need for s-off, since this roms are pretty fast, but using them with custom hboot will give you more responsivness when you will have lot of apps
all types of roms (new sense, old sense, no sense, miui) are available for S-ON users, but some of them will be kinda slow.

Thank you for taking time to reply !!!
Ur words gave me the confidence to move ahead further and apply the method to turn S-off.Now the phone is completely hacked and i installed CM7...what a change it has bought to the device...its definitely very much snappier than stock(eventhough i found it super snappy after my topaz...lolz)...Just like to add that rooting on Android is more complicated than HSPL nd other stuff on WM....but thanks to people like you and friends at xda made things very simple.

Hi,
I just received a couple of new Desires with HBOOT 0.93.0001 preinstalled.
Has anyone seen this before, and is it safe to root?
Thanks,
Adam
Go into settings and about and list firmware details.u might have a new radio too.
Hoot prob 4 slcd tho
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
You don't root a bootloader. But if you have Froyo, you will not be able to root it. You'll have to downgrade the software first.
Did you get the Desire from Vodafone UK? I know their new 2.2 OTA update changes the HBOOT to 0.93 apparently (which can't be rooted at present)
Thanks for the quick responses.
The Desires did indeed come from VF UK, and yes they are SLCD.
The radio version is the same as the one I've seen on this site: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
Looks like I'll have wait until one of the hacking ninjas works out an easy way to get a root applied to a Froyo desire...

If it was just the mobo and you were on 0.80 then you're on AMOLED...either way you can root without issues
Yes it can bee rooted mine is also 0.93
look at this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776696
same hboot,radio and slcd and i was able to root using unrevoked 3.21
Tried unrevoked 3.21 (4 - 5 times) and it would not root it. Spoke to guys on irc and they dont know why it did not work.
Wondering if I should go down the downgrade 2.2 to 2.1 then root then use a custom rom back to 2.2. I want to try the cyanogen rom really.
OH and thanks guys
What happens (or not) when you try?
Bascially it says its doing it but it aint.
Waiting for boot when its already rebooted.
Pushing recovery when its not.
connect device.

Any success yet?
Did you buy yours with this version of Hboot or was it upgraded via OTA? when?
a couple of mates have same problem can't root 0.93.0001
Yeah all sorted now thanks. Followed the "how to" at the unlocker
Rooted with unrevoked
Rom manager failed to flash 2 or 3 different roms so I flashed with Leedroid 2.2f using clockwork.
reports that you can flash cyanogen rom with amom ra bit not tried that way yet.
Happy with leedroid for now any way.
I had to send my .80 boot back to HTC for repair (GPS problem) and it came back with a new mobo and software.
You can root if you follow the correct "How to" some miss a few things out

Just rooted mine last night, no problems.
Am on T-Mobile UK, HBOOT 0.93.0001, radio etc all same as yours, all latest s/w from TMUK as I had just received it back from repair recently.
My steps:
Used Unrevoked 3.22.
Download htc sync, install, then uninstall the sync application, leaving the drivers on. Didn't need to mess with hboot drivers in my case.
Attached device, connected in disk drive mode with usb debugging enabled.
Ran Unrevoked.
That was it.
My PC runs Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit.
I follow the same steps still same hanging with "Waiting for root... (safe to restart if this doesn't work). My ROM is:RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC__ARA_2.32.415.3_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157343_signed.exe
I tried searching for this but to no avail.. if some one here has better searchfu than me just point me in the right direction but here is my problem.
Im using a 2.2 android HTC desire from O2 I was following the instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044 here to Root it. I installed the Hboot drivers fine and got Unrevoked working as far as i can tell.
I launch it and it goes through the entire process of restarting my phone into Hboot and then restarting again and stabilising then It starts to root.. says sucess then quickly changes to say "Internal Error: failed to unlock NAND flash?"
It then stops there restarts the phone and has had no effect at all..
Any help will be wonderful

Are you trying to use Unrevoked forever? That only works on CDMA phones (no sim card). If you just want root and flash different roms normal Unrevoked is fine. To see if it went oke boot in to recovery and see if it says ClockworkMod recovery. If yes, everything is fine regarding rooting.
If after this you want to S-off and have a GSM (sim card) phone use AlphaRev.
Im using the version available from unrevoked.com which i belive is just unrevoked
As for booting into recovery i try that... all i get is the phone symbol with the red triangle and then dont get past that when i push power and vol up..

This man speaks the truth, unrEVOked forever won't work on the sim card Desire. I you should now have standard super user permissions. if you do want S-off you will need to go the alpha rev route.
tried using a diff version of unrevoked and this time it says failed to flash recovery image
I just went through all of this with my own phone a few days ago. from what I have learned and read Unrevoked will not give you Nand unlock.
Strange. I tried the latest unrEVOked (not forever) on my unbranded Desire, and did not have any errors like these (NAND unlock, unable to flash). I have:
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
except the radio is 5.11.05.27
Hmmm could it be the radio causing the play up?

You've searched too far back
Use the guides here to explain everything better: http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/503471-desire-all-things-root-guide.html
Follow it all the way through particularly terminology etc. Everything you need to know is there
Then use the guide to 's-off' using revolutionary. It doesn't technically root but will fully unlock your bootloader which is more powerful.
Hi all,
I've never rooted or made a goldcard for my desire, but I upgraded to 2.3 using the RUU and was so pleased with the de-branding I wanted to unlock it too...
I tried to use this utility http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16227825#post16227825 but it didn't work with HBOOT 1.02.0001 and RADIO-5.17.05.23
I tried to use the original RUUs to downgrade my phone, but it doesn't work and I get loads of different errors with different RUUs like 131, 140, 130 etc... basically telling me the carrier ID is incorrect or the RUU is the wrong version.
Is there a way I can restore an older ROM and HBOOT to be able to use the unlock utility?
Sorry, but at the moment there is no way to do what you want. But I am pretty sure there will be very soon.

In short: No
Longer: It MAY emerge as developers go to work on the update, but as you must have read when you ran the update there is no way back that is supported by hTC, and s-off or any kind of root will not work so far. The best you can do is to wait.

Thanks guys... no, I skipped reading that part but I was hoping the latter might be possible nevermind... I don't need it unlocked yet anyway still have a few months in this contract...
Will I at least be able to pay t-mobile to give me a working unlock code? - or will the new HBOOT have changed the code or something? lol
I plan to keep this phone for a while when it's out of contract... at least until the next generation come out that have a 2ghz quad core
It is taking longer than expected. Is any one able to root the HTC desire with Gingerbread RUU Update.
Desperately waiting root. Requesting developers to help several people like me to root the desire.
I did not read the warning too...

hi guys,
In the past I used XDAdevelopers forum to install a custom ROM.
I own a HTC Desire and I have the following installed.
Android version : 2.3.3
HTC Sense version 2.1
Radio version 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23
Kernel version 2.6.35.10-g308ba26
Build number 2.36.405.8
Software number Reflex S 2.0.9 Lite A2SD+
It was quite easy to install new ROM's and I am curious if I have to be aware of new things like S-OFF and S-ON where I am reading about, or is that only for newer hardware?
I am having problems with my battery (also with my replacement) so I want to try to update my phone again.
If you have any hint, please let me know. In the meanwhile I will try to find out which radio/ROM/Kernel update I have to do.
hi, click the All Things Root Guide in my sig. loads of info there

Thanks jmcclue, a lot of useful information.
But the problem is that I already passed all those steps with installing the custom ROM on my Desire.
The only thing that is hard to find in all the manuals that are written, if I have to do something additionally now despite the Desire has already been rooted.
what does it say in ur bootloader menu?
turn off the phone and then hold volume down + power

Question! Does Revolutionary recommend to use a rom that doesnt implement any a2sd or data2sd scripts like Alpharev? That might be something he needs to consider before going S-Off (which I would recommend as well)

hmm good point batman. i know that revolutionry works even if ur rooted, but i honestly never thought bout if a2sd or data2sd scripts would affect it. after reading everything before i never came across it, it was never mentioned in any guides or that so i just assumed that it does'nt. will have to look into it more. thanks.
@ OP dont use revolutionary yet and il try find out more and u could search a bit too

Reason I asked is because alpharev had that as a requirement. Just to be on the safe side. Not sure about revolutionary since I never had to go back S-ON lol
after some googling i couldnt find anything to suggest that revolutionary wont work with an a2sd script, but after searching "Software number Reflex S 2.0.9 Lite A2SD+" that is a custom rom so that revolutionary will not work, revolutionary only works with official stock htc rom (rooted or not rooted) cheers stankyou, you learn something new everyday
I'm confused. Last week I S-OFFed my colleague's Desire on a custom ROM with A2SD (Insertcoin I think) with Revolutionary. Only S-OFF because his Desire was already rooted obviously.

cool, thanks for the info, i suppose it will work so. i guess as long as ur hboot is the same as what revolutionary requires it should work. its just strange that from what i found, basicaly u needed stock htc desire rom, rooted or not. if it worked for u then i guess it works

Thanks jmcclue, but do I need it? Or is it in the requirements of new ROM's that you will need S-OFF?

i suppose u can still flash some roms but s-off is better coz u can change hboots, and get more memory and install custom recovery if things go wrong lol. theres a few roms now that come with INT2SD and ul need CM7r2 hboot for them and basicaly uv a better choice of roms and theres just alot more u can do with ur phone with s-off.

Hi All,
Apologies in advance... I'm a noob.
Well for a long time I was a happy camper running the excellent Marange MIUI ROMs on my HTC desire (which had been replaced by a PVT4 motherboard version). This was S-OFF and running HBOOT 0.93... but then one day a couple of months ago I got into a boot loop where all I got was the MIUI boot logo... not really a loop more just stuck at the logo.
So I tried several clueless attempts to reimage using the TeamWin TWRP boot loader... but nothing I did worked. So after several failed RUU attempts and random PB99IMG boots and one successful run of:
RUU_Bravo_Telstra_WWE_1.15.841.14_R4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_123851
I had what I imagined was a stock phone running an ancient Telstra release (it is a Telstra branded phone - the other world wide English RUUs refused to recognise the phone - 130 error).
I tried re-flashing the baseband radio, ClockworkMod v2.5.0.7 Recovery and MIUI... and wound up back to square one stuck in the MIUI logo and the RUU I used to get back to stock is now refusing to do anything) and this time I noticed my phone reports:
BRAVO UNKNOWN SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 0.75.0000
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYMT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
Mar 5 2010, 21:12:15
So somehow my PVT4 S-OFF 0.93 changed to the above. Which I don't understand... I thought that only a Goldcard could do something like that. None of the recovery tools seem to want to deal with HBOOT 0.75 and the fact that I'm S-ON would appear to be a pain.
The other thing that really confuses me is that how come if the phone is S-ON it lets me wipe everything and install the latest Marange MIUI ROMs ? Surely if it's S-ON then these would have to be signed (maybe they are for all I know).
Finally, if I use adb when the phone is stuck in it's MIUI boot logo I'm amazed I can get a root shell.
Anyone got any advice on how my phone got into such a mess, how to fix HBOOT and get a decent ROM running again ?
Any help hugely appreciated. The more detail the better.
Many AtDhVaAnNkCsE
Cheers,
Doug

How where you s-off, with hboot 0.93? Alpharev hboots have 6.93 etc.
Anyways, did you try the 2.3 RUU? Check my sig.
You can flash roms with s-on, but you can't change recovery.

To be honest I couldn't quite remember the state of my HBOOT I just new that it had been newer than 0.75, possibly 0.80, and that I had S-OFF and PVT4.
Your suggestion worked perfectly! I ran the RUU without issue to upgrade to 2.3 which gave me a new 1.x HBOOT and then I ran revolutionary and was then able to install MIUI. Smooth as...
Thank you so much!
I find the howto guides out there have lots of how but not too much why. I like detail on why things work or don't. Like why did that RUU work when so many others I tried didn't... did HTC make RUU 2.3 more forgiving in it's identification of supported phones ?
Anyway, once again many thanks for your kind help.
Cheers,
Doug
