[q] hboot 0.93.0001

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

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...

1. Can it be rooted
2. Is it slcd or amoled

It can be rooted my desires hboot is the same. I think its amoled but you can ring HTC and they will tell you.

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

[Q] Root PVT4 HBOOT-0.93.0001

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:

RADIO-5.11.05.27

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?

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.

Try Unrevoked 3.21. You can download it after a little search in google. I have same HBOOT and PVT4, and the latest versions of Unrevoked don't work for me, but 3.21 does.

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.

[Q] Not able to flash a new recovery in a Desire PVT4 40000

Hi everyone,
I swear I've been searching for this kind of situation within the whole forum but I didn't find a thing about it. If anybody can address me to an existing post related with this, that would be great. Now let's get to the point.
First of all, my Desire is
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
Aug 10 2010, 17:52:18
And the erase size is 40000
Two weeks ago I tried to root the phone and install a custom ROM. But I didn't look carefully for information and I downloaded unrEVOked 3.32 without knowing that Clockwork Mod 2.5.0.7 throws errors because it can't mount CACHE or find MISC.
After reading some threads, I got the idea that using unrEVOked 3.21 and AmonRA 2.0.1 should do the trick... but I haven't been able to flash a new recovery. unrEVOked succeeds but when the phone reboots at the end I always see the Clockwork Mod 2.5.0.7 screen, no matter which recovery or unrEVOked version I use.
I even tried to S-OFF the phone with the AlphaRev Live CD but it doesn't recognize the phone because it can't access some folders...
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

hi,
go to Manage Applications and Uninstall the Zysploit apk
afterwards launch unrevoked http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22152187/reflash_package3.21.exe
will install cmw2518 which works on your desire pvt4 - 40000
hope this help

Hi fragargon,
Thanks for the advice but it didn't work. When it reboots at the end, I still see the 2.5.0.7 version
By the way, I'm running MacOS and I don't know if this version carries that Clockwork Mod you say. Tomorrow I'll try to find that version you mentioned.

desire is dead

Hi. Recently my htc desire started rebooting when I used 3G.
Anyway this time it has gone for good and just hangs at the HTC bootscreen.
I tried going to bootloader -> recovery, but when I select it, it just reboots.
I have tried bootloader -> clear storage, but doesn't make a difference
After that I tried to flash it to the most recent RUU, but get a 131 customer ID error. Does anyone have any idea how I might install a new rom and get it working again - keeping in mind that I cannot boot the phone to a ROM?
Details that I have at bootscreen (back button + power) :
BRAVO UNKOWN SHIP S-ON
HBOOT - 0.75.0000
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-4-05.00.11
It is from orange, but when I first got it I unlocked it and installed opendesire.
Thanks in advance.

Check bortak's troubleshooting guide.

I've had a look at the "Advanced Boot Problems - S-ON" section which seems to apply. Problem is in creating the goldcard. The tutorial says I need to be fully booted up ect. Any way I can do this and get the CID from fastboot alone?

What's your carrier?

It's with orange

Try to create goldcard with linux:
http://www.nazriawang.com/2010/04/how-to-create-goldcard-with-ubuntu.html

Ok, made goldCard and installed RUU mentioned in bortak's guide. Fastboot now looks like:
BRAVO PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-301D
TOUCH PANEL-DYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
so change there. Still hangs at the HTC boot screen.
What next!?

Got any errors when running RUU? If not, send it to HTC. You are back to stock and so there shouldn't be any problems.

I've had it for over a year and a half now. Would they still take it back?

Desire has a 2 year warranty so as long as you have a receipt or something you should be fine. I bought mine from CPW and they just used the serial number when returning-no problems at all.

[Q] Still Reboots after RUU

Hi there!
This is a follow up from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051245
I noticed I was S-ON, so I thought that this was giving me troubles. I downloaded a ruu, the wrong one, so I ended up without a recovery and constant reboots.
So, I made myself a goldcard (I used my Xperia Play to get the CID, then switched to a Card reader, and a SanDisk 8GB). Still, I got the error 140.
I downloaded a pb999img.zip of a GB ruu, put this on the card, and powered into hboot. The update worked, and after powering up, everything is fine until the lockscreen comes up (but the "quietly brilliant" comes twice), then it crashes. I tried this twice, with the same results.
Any ideas why that happens? And why I couldn't use any ruu I wanted?
Here are my hboot numbers:
Bravo Pvt3 Ship S-ON
Hboot-1.02.0001
Microp-051d
Touch Panel-SYNW0101
Radio-5.17.05.23
Jul 22 2011 16:19:16
So, any idea what to do? Could it be that the LBE Master screwed my phone completely up?
I would be very grateful for help. Thanks

I tried another ruu, which failed because of the lower hboot.
But after that, my phone was stable!
So, I managed to get S-Off with Revolutionary, but sadly no CWM.
Imnterestingly, I have the reboot problems again, the exact same ones.
Update: Now I am stuck in Hboot, after getting a CWM, rooting, and formatting as the troubleshooter guide says. Also, getting a CWm with fastboot as mentioned here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122694
isn't possible anymore.
