Hi, today a have tried to root my htc desire using revoked 2 method. I was unable to install usb drivers. And now i cant even mount desire as hard drive. Computer still reports that device is unknown. I tried different usb ports, 2 different cabels, windows xp and seven. Before everything worked fine. Do you thing it is possible, that i damaged phone, when i plug it out just disconnecting cable?
Which version of unrEVOked did you try? I seems like a driver issue as you have to install the modified Hboot drivers for unrEVOked in a certain way before unrEVOked will work. If you attempted root with unrEVOked 3.21, did you follow the steps mentioned in thi thread?:

I used this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044
and I stuck at 3. point... On your phone, you will have to select HBOOT USB at that menu by pressing volume down four times, then power. Wait until the screen flashes through an “SD Checking” message before pressing buttons; otherwise, the phone will ignore keypresses.
and after that i am unable to connect desire to pc... no way...seems like something happend with usb driver in phone or i dont know...just i ve tried 3 computers for now and every reports same when I connect usb, that device is unknown
What Hboot do you have?
What is your PVT version? (also check the Bootloader for this info)
0.93.0001 and I forgot...I stucked at third point because i got there no option HBOOT USB

Ok, thank you for that info.
To tell you the truth, with unrEVOked 3.21, you must install the modified HBOOT drivers for it to work, otherwise it will not work at all.
Please try following this guide as it is definately requied. I asked you above if you had tried going through it, you mentioned that you had only tried using the guide in the first link, but you definately need to have the modified HBOOT drivers installed to proceed.
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
Try what is suggested and let me know if you can proceed past step three after configuring the HBOOT drivers first, as it is a must.

Hmm... yes i see what you mean. Unrevoked is fussy regarding drivers. Try the following:
1) Uninstall HTC Sync completely, the HTC Driver Setup, and HTC BMP Driver if present.
2) Reboot and reinstall the HTC Sync software (latest version).
3) Now uninstall HTC Sync Alone. Keep other two (HTC Driver Setup and HTC BMP Driver) installed.
4) Reboot your PC again.
Note: do not connect phone to PC at all and make sure the phone is switched off.
5) Switch your phone to the Bootloader screen. Connect the phone via USB and it should show Fastboot USB.
6) Windows will show the device detection dialog box - at this point, stop Windows from getting the driver from Windows Update, and manually choose the location of the driver as the folder where Unrevoked driver is present.
7) After this is done, diconnect phone again.
8) Go through the unrEVOked guide and connect the phone when advised to.
If this fails, then try unrEVOked 3.22 (in my sig below) and see how that goes and although you have mentioned that you have tried 3 different PC's, you may have to consider trying it on a different OS platform, such as Linux.

Try downloading the Android SDK: installer_r08-windows.exe
Follow the steps in this video to hopefully get the appropriate USB drivers - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N66J6UiN5Pg&feature=player_embedded
EDIT:
With the phone connected, try the following afterwards:
Check to make sure that you have USB Debugging enabled on your phone.
In Device Manager, right-click your Unknown Android device and select 'Update Driver Software'. Browse to the folder (extract the zip to the Desktop) i have attached below and see if it installs them.

OK, i will try the thing with sdk..i am downloading files right now, but that makes no sense to download any other windows drivers. I think the problem is inside of the phone, because it represents itself like unknown device to any computer with any drivers...if there is a way to restore flash memory or something...well looks like i will have to wait one month for reclamation...how this could happen my god

I agree... it is clearly an HBOOT driver issue or the phone... Windows (PC host) drivers are seperate. I was just running out of ideas really
The only definate way of knowing if it is the device that is causing this issue is if you were to try it on a non-Windows related OS, like Linux and maybe it would work for you using an Ubuntu Live CD.

Yes, because it is not as fussy with drivers as Windows is - with Windows, they have to be properly removed from its cache. With Linux, the phone should be detected ok (unless the phone is at fault).
Here is a simple guide that you can follow:

So, linux didnt work either, system didnt even recognize that anything was plug in. Even crossed fingers dident help Well only last thing I have to ask, if there is any possibility to recover hboot, restore it somehow. Forexample through recovery menu in hboot loader and some kind of .zip file, that i will put to SD card. If not, well I will have to step out to that freezing weather and walk to orange store for reclamation, which I hope would be positive for me, but something telling me it surely will.
I found something about usb unbrick here on xda forum, but is only for root phones
well i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9056719&postcount=15 i think it could work, just i dont know a way how to discover my CID number..to modify mtd0.img file
ok, i did everything step by step using rageagainstthecage tutorial, but nothing happend at all.
If anyone could help...
Are you able to get into Fastboot?
I suppose running your stock RUU in Hboot won't make a difference then... how about trying the PB99IMG method, which involves renaming the extracted rom.zip file to PB99IMG.zip from your stock RUU, placing this to the root of your SD card and then letting it run from Fastboot mode. This would restore your stock Hboot. You could also try AlphaRev's modified 0.93 HBOOT with S-OFF?
Okay, so here's my story. I have an HTC Desire. Bought it two days ago.
I've flashed and rooted with unrEVOked 3.32, then installed this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997 (The stock ROM with radio)
It was working wonderfully, then I figured hey, why not install HTC's available update. So I did.
It installed, and now does nothing but reboot. I've tried to re-recover from the (now 3e) menu, but keep getting signature verification failures.
I've tried to create a GoldCard, got a spare 1GB MicroSD card that I'm using, but when trying to use ADB, I get a 'device offline' error, and therefore can't create a GoldCard. I have USB drivers installed from HTC Sync, and they worked fine for the flashing process itself. USB development was enabled the last time my phone booted, but I'm not sure whether that counts when I can't boot it.
I'm busy downloading and am going to reinstall HTC Sync for drivers, but have also tried the drivers included as a package in Android's SDK.
I've tried switching MicroUSB cables (although I only have 2 at the moment - HTC and SonyEricsson) with no luck, after reading stuff about some manufacturers' cables not playing well with ADB. Still get a device offline error.
I've got all I need to make a GoldCard, but ADB just won't work. I've also tried disabling firewalls/antivirus, to no avail.
Help?
Checkout this thread it has some good info
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831734
To make gold card use the gold card tool. If you can't find it here on XDA then PM me your email.
Sent with HTC Desire
When it said that my device was offline, I installed the Hboot drivers from unrEVoked and updated the SDK as well (might of used the SDK drivers instead) and it got sorted out.
I am trying to root my DHD following the guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003

That doesn't work on Gingerbread, GingerBreak should be used instead.
Have you got HTC Sync installed on your computer?
Yes i have the sync app installed, I have tried different usb ports and different computers, nothing helps.
Thx for taking your time to help

Does you computer even read the phone?
If so, try to open HTC Sync on the computer (and choose the option on the phone), ... , does HTC Sync recognise your phone? (does HTC Sync open up and connect to your phone?)
If it does, make sure you have 'USB Debugging' and 'Charge Only' when doing the commands in the terminal.
If HTC Sync doesnt recognise your phone, try uninstalling it from your PC and reinstalling it again.
You where right, i had to reinstall HTC Sync and try different usb ports till i got Sync work, afterwords I chose only charge and started my terminal, worked like a charm.
Now i cant install an rom i tryed downloading OTA and from XDA pages, when download OTA it stops before it is finished, when i try installing from SD it reboots and stucks with a red triangle with (!).
Anyone who knows what the problem can be?
Thx to everyone who takes time to help others it is really aprietiated.
If the download doesnt finish properly then dont install it, because it will have corrupted/missing files, which will result in the phone not booting.
If you want some ROMs or RUUs, look at andyharneys signature above.
Try downloading from there and after downloading, checking the md5 of the file (on the website) with the file you download - there are many md5 checker programs out there, google it
Can´t understand whats wrong.. i have a wildfire with 2.2.1 hboot 1.01.0001.
I downloaded the program for windows and succesfully typed betakey, after that nothing happens.. it´s just waiting. On my other computer i even can´t do the beta step, it just says "waiting for device"
Does my previosly adb drives with my rooting of htc legend effect the connection with my wildfire?
Tried win 32 and 64bit, restarted the phone and computers without luck. Also tried run as admin
You sound like you need the drivers for the wildfire. If you connect via USB can you then use adb to see the device. Use the command adb devices. If nothing comes up then you don't have the drivers.

Edit: after reading the correct guide i succesfully got s-off, but then when i downgraded to 2.1, my touch doesn´t work anymore :S what the f* do i do now? Adb doesn´t work but i have connection to my pc thrue bootloader. the usb unit android 1.0 pop up
Edit: Finally, now i have a rooted wildfire with cm7 =) The touch problem was solved by installing another RUU "RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed" After that i could easily root with unrevoked =)
Hello.
I´ve recently got a desire and I tried to root it using the unrevoked method, but with no luck.
I´ve managed to install the USB drivers, but the phone still seems to be not recognized. (Left with "Waiting for a device")
Yes I´ve turned on USB Debugging.
But everytime I connect my device, I see some strange "ADB" unrecognized device with an exclamation mark.
Tried to update "its" drivers with the drivers from unrevoked, no luck.
edit:I also tried to s-off with revolutionary, same problem ("Waiting for a device")
Any suggestions ?
Or other method how to root Desire on W8?
I´m using Windows 8 64bit.
HTC Desire is 2.2.2.
Thanks
EDIT: SOLVED thanks to k3lcior and his url. Thank you.
Try to download and install HTC Sync to get USB drivers from HTC. Then uninstall HTC Sync while leaving the USB drivers that came along with it installed. But no guarantee this will even work on Win8
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1961823
You may want to take a look on this, especially "Edit2".
Thanks for all suggestions, I was able to get fastboot working, somehow. But that´s pretty much everything.
Btw. There´s a strange problem with HTC Sync as well. I tried to install HTC Sync, just for testing.
HTC Sync doesnt seem to be detecting my phone as well.
Do you think these 2 problems might be connected?
