Okay so I ran unrevoked it said root was a triumph then came up with an error (validation error: backup CID is missing) I then went on to manually root the phone by installing Amon-Ra from hboot. I successfully got it to install but then when I went to install SU from recovery it said installation failed signature not verified, or something like that. I then tried to install it from the market and it installed then I went into terminal emulator and typed in "su" (without ") and it did not change the prompt. I have hboot 2.10 and the newest software on my phone and s-off. Can someone please help.
Since you have S-OFF and a custom recovery, just flash a new ROM and call it a day.

Guessing this thread goes here if not im sorry.
I am trying to root my hero and found a guide that i should use "flashrec" to first backup and the install/flash "recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2" but when i try to back up i first got the error "Could not run command" tried again and got "image is invalid" and had hat error the last 20:ish times
But now when i try again i get the first error again.
And i have tried to restart phone an factory reset it and emptied the sd and so on but could not get it to work.
So i figure that i have to change tactic so i found another guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4257045&postcount=38
And it that guide they wanted me to use fastboot instead and i got as far as i should check if fast boot find my phone and it did without problem with (fastboot devices).
And the link in the guide to download recovery was broken so i figured i can use "recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2" so i ran the command "fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img" and only got "could not load file" or something like that.
And of some strange reason now when i try boot my .img i get "downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)"
So now after all this im starting to wonder if there is any safe way left to root the phone at all.
My phone is htc hero from swe updated with original "2.73.405.5" from htc and have never been rooted before.
Now i have even tryed the downgrade wethod with goldcard without result.
Same error both in flashrec and fastboot
Update to 2.73.405.5 via the WWE update from HTC's website and use this Flashrec 1.1.3 which works on that version
That was the one I had from the bigining but I can try again do I need goldcard then I have some other 2.73 now that I used goldcard to install or can I just flash with original.
Checked the rom im using now and it has the same checksum as the one on htc:s website "_HTC Hero_RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe"
So i have the latest from the htc site.
And flashrec dont work i get the "could not run command" some times and "image is invalid" some times and i have tryed the version of flashrec you recomended.
I have tried now and reinstall with "RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_1.76.405.1_R3_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver" and gold card cus i cant use the flashrec on my phone.
but then i get "checking main version : update faild" should:nt that work on goldcard?
It sounds like you didn't make the goldcard correctly. When a goldcard is in the phone, it is the 'Super CID', which should get rid of the Checking Main Version : Update Failed error message associated with downgrading.
I can only suggest you try again using a different microSD card, preferably the stock one that came with the phone, and follow the instructions exactly, making sure you reverse the digits correctly (if you do it manually). If you're not sure, use QMAT as mentioned in the guide.
Once the goldcard works, you should be able to downgrade no problem.
HTH
I have the stock card and did exactly as the guide with the qmat so it should be right.
And copied over rows in the sdcard as an removeble device witg write rights and the card works in computer as one guide said i should test.
Could u help me if i send u my id so i know the goldcars should be ok?
What is the best way of formatting the card before doing gold card is it format in htc or sd formatter?
in this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=573866 it says i should downgrade to 2.73.405.5
"20. Use the Official HTC RUU to downgrade to 2.73.405.5 here ftp://..."
And i am already on that rom as original from htc when i upgraded this summer/fall.
Alright first off.. I might NOT be stuck, I am just unsure because I am a noob at this! I want to be certain not to brick my phone or screw it up on this screen, so here is what I did step by step so far...
-Installed Hboot drivers successfully (android 1.0)
-Downloaded and installed unrevoked 3 recovery reflash tool v3.22
-Carefully proceeded with the steps from: [GUIDE] One Click How to Root EVO with Unrevoked 3.21 *NEW EVO'S WONT WORK 11.16.10* http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787304
-I had my phone mounted as "Disk Drive" instead of "charge only" and didnt realize this untill I got to the clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.1 screen. Unrevoked 3 went through the process from what I think is somewhat completed.. unrevoked went to a somewhat grey screen on my pc and displays:
Done.
Recovery image: clockworkmod recovery
-My HTC EVO phone came to a stop at ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 and has a menu with some options like reboot, apply sdcard:update.zip, wipe, install zip from SDcard, nandroid, partitions menu, advanced, and a ++go back++
-The step above is where my problem is.. When i got to that screen it read my SDcard and mounted it, then said installing DATA:local/unrevoked-forever.zip, then said found, opened, and displayed installing update...
-After that it displayed:
unrEVOked forever S-OFF patch v1.1
verifying system type...
E:unsupported radio version
E:update failed. Check /SDcard/soff.log.
E:error in /data/local/unrevoked-forever.zip (status 42)
Installation aborted.
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM Manager to report the issue.
-STUCK, because I don't know what to do next, I thought it was a "1-click rooting process" ha.. I havnt touched anything on my pc or EVO since it came to this screen so can someone help me get past it..?
I just need some help on where to go from this menu. I am trying to root my phone. However it has a BAD ESN(which is why i am using this phone for learning how to flash, root, unlock, etc..) So idk if theres something special I need to do because it has a bad esn or if im just being too damn cautious, but like i said... Im a noob and dont want to brick my phone or waste time.

This usually means that you need to update the radio before you can use unrevoked-forever. Since it is possible to install the new radio using a zip you could just copy it to the sdcard and flash it, then after it completes you should try unrevoked again, it should work at that point.
So what option do I choose on the clockwork screen? its not going to mess the phone up since im backing out is it? also what files do you reccomend I put on my SDcard? the phone had a good ESN up to 12/10.
I just ended up clicking nandroid backup then clicked reboot and now I have supersuser permissions.. Im guessing I completed the root?
getting past E:unsupported radio version

I had this same issue when using simply the unrevoked 3.22 application. My radio is: 2.15.00.09.01
I needed to manually download the unrevoked-forever.zip, place it on my sdcard, and flash it using recovery. When you get to this point in the process, you should have an active recovery (like clockwork), that you can use for this.
What surprised me, was that I didn't even alter my radio. I had prepared to need to downgrade my radio, but it wasn't even necessary. Once I manually tried to flash unrevoked-forever.zip, it just worked.
You know it works if your bootloader shows (S-OFF)
I have an HTC Desire 2.1 CDMA with US Cellular. I tried rooting with unrevoked a couple of times with no sucess. procedure got to the clockworkmod recovery screen it showed:
E: unsupported radio
E: update failed
Installation aborted.
Short version of what it showed.
I had to pull the battery to get the phone rebooted and it is stock with the exception of a super user app that is blank when opened. How can remove the superuser app that does not work? I have tried a factory reset and it does not work. Or how can I get the rooting process to finish?

Since you already have ClockworkMod, just flash a custom ROM in. Nothing to it, really.
I dont think the rooting process completely finished. When the process stopped the phone was in the clockworkmod screen and said the installation aborted. I selected reboot but the screen just went to an android with a warning triangle. I had to pull the battery to get the phone to reboot. The superuser app that is in my phone is empty. I open it and there is nothing there it is just a blank screen with no options. So again I do not think the rooting process completed and I have tried a few other times with the same result. How can I know for sure if the root took?
Install "Android Terminal Emulator" from the market..Write "su" (without quotes) and if there are no errors and superuser app will ask the permission (accept it), means u have root permissions working..
The superuser app will contains a list of apps that requested root permission..If u didn't used any app that required root, the list is empty..
EDIT: Also, Installation aborted in the clockworkmod mean you was trying to install a custom rom or something, but means u already have root. The Installation aborted in the clockworkmod is not related to the root process
he means installation aborted on enrevoked program. he has no superuser access. something is preventing unrevoked from rooting your Desire. if you have htc sync, remove it but leave driver as is.
also download modified HBOOT drivers from unrevoked site. turn off desire and reboot in hboot mode(back button+power on) connect Desire and let it install the drivers. if it prompts for manual install, then point out where you extracted modified hboot drivers.
after drivers installation reboot in normal mode and rerun Unrevoked again to see if rooting proxess finishes.
report back.
[Guide] i want to root my HTC Desire
Froyo 2.2
Hboot 0.93
I tried Unrevoked but unsucessful as My Phone has no MISC folder in It.
how to create it or what could be the problem
Guide Please ASAP
Which unrevoked do you use? Did you install the modified HBOOT drivers (win)? What is your Desire's PVT version?
and please read through - the rooting process is many months old, almost all issues like this had been solved in previous threads.
I have used Unrevoked 3.21 3.31 and 3.32
Yes i have instaled the desired HBoot Drivers required by window..
I ad a problem first that CID backup is missing, b using adb i removed that error but while unrevoking is working it stops at One point Errors:
Cant Find: MISC
Can`t push\load recovery
etc etc
Its not finding MISC Folder on my phone memory and i have searched it its missing..
now im in a fix how to create it again .. and if i create it by sing adb will i be able to Root it.
Unrevoke is working well guess its the problem with
Missing MISC folder
Guide Please
Do you have USB debugging enabled?
But i found this by using SEARCH:
3. your problem is that your device misc partition is corrupted therefore unrevoked will not work.
apparently some people have had success by downgrading their hboot but its not something ive done.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Debugging is Enabled...
But stops at a point where one can Wipe out all the required Wipes
and also run upate.zip and eventually Gingerbrad 2.3.zip
If its corruped i should wipe out all things manually
It stops where menu is presented in Green
Regars
Unrevoked has no green menu. What are you talking about? You are in the recovery? CWM?
What is your PVT model (shown where HBOOT is).
What is the EXACT error you get?
