Hi guys!
Today I tried to get the rooted desire with Android 2.2 with unrevoked 3.21
Previosly I updated to 2.29.405.2 SW
When I run the unrevoked it (desire) freezed on "waiting for root" step. Desire freezed in boot progress (white screen with HTC logo on it)
I removed battery and inserted it again. But I cant boot it, desire freezes on the same white screen with HTC logo.
I can HBOOT, but when I go to recovery menu my device goes to reboot and freez.
So it seems that unrevoked spoiled my recovery and I do not know hot to fix it.
Please guide me, the working solution will be donated $20
--------------
Radio version: 5.11.05.27.
SPL/hboot version: 0.93.0001.
product: bravo.
mid: pb9920000.
security: on.
build-mode: ship.
Device model is not SAPPHIRE - flash old/new disabled.
This device does not have s-off nor eng hboot.
-------------
Thanks!
Flash a stock RUU and try again, you can get 2.29.405.2 from my signature. Remember to use a gold card if you had to in the past
How can I flash the RUU without access to recovery?
You should flash it via fastboot.
Hold the back button and turn on your phone to enter FASTBOOT, then connect your phone to the pc with the usb cable and then run the ruu.

Did it as you said, result is the same
After the successful flash procedure thru RUU device went to reboot and freezed at the same white screen state.
Recovery is still unavailable to get into.
Now I will try to get the logged data thru Android SDK.
This thing is really mess me up =( I'm phoneless.
You, guys, are the one and only hope.
I have installed SDK, but I cant see anything in adb logcat but "waiting for device", thogh my device is conneted via fastboot usb.
Any clue?
I had that same issue, and it turns out it was a problem with the earlier version of clockworkmod (2.5.0.1) that had that issue, where freezing occurred at the HTC splash screen.
Try unrevoked again, with the 2.5.0.7 image here:
http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.img
Make sure you select the image when you start unrevoked.
It might fail a few times (freezing at splash), but if it does, just pull the battery and keep trying....eventually it'll manage to go through.
Good luck =)

Latty, how can I run unrevoked with a desired image if I cant boot the phone to get it recognized by unrevoked?
you have to start the flasher without the phone being connected, then you should be able to select the image (top left of window).

Follow the unrevoked guide to install the drivers. Also uninstall HTC drivers before that.

It still is a driver issue.
Start from scratch..
Remove all HTC Drivers
Reboot
DC from internet
Connect phone in two modes-Android, Fastboot
It should get recognized but drivers shouldnt be installed and you should be prompted for driver location. If you arent prompted, get Device Manager, uninstall the driver which recognized the device.
Now install Unrevoked drivers as per guide.
Phone should be recognized..

Ok, thanks will do it now.
But one more question, should it be recognized from hboot usb mode with "Android Bootloader interface" driver, or from fastboot mode?
Cant confirm that without my phone..
But, I believe drivers would recognize it in both..And seperate drivers too..
A small tip..If you have dual boot, try Unrevoked in another OS in which you havent installed HTC. Should work

Faced with problems
1) I uninstalled HTC Drivers.
2) plugged phone and deleted Bootloader interface device then Boot Interface device.
3) rebooted
4) disconnected from internet
5) plugged and powered device and got Bootloader Interface driver installed without a single promt!!! And Boot interface as well.
So I had no chance to manually set the path to the drivers. And unrevoked still doesnt see the device =(
It turns out that I should try another OS???
PS and the key point, should it be recognized in hboot mode or unrevoked only works with booted to OS devices only?
Not really..But that's the easy way out..
Difficult to show you what exactly to delete..
Mostly these are driver clashes..When you uninstall the driver you should tick the option to delete the driver from system.
Try again and you know you've succeeded when it doesnt find any driver installed, and asks you for the location, when you can choose the unrevoked drivers..
Hm, I cant find any options prompting to delete driver from the system... But I will look into more carefully.
ADDED
Found it, trying now.
Tried, was promted to specify the path to the drivers, installed again and with no luck =( Unrevoked doesnt see the device.
I will try it tomorrow on another PC and with another OS.
Thanks for help, I really appreciate this, and I hope we will find a solution.
PS. Is this problem called USB brick?
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?
I am getting an error doing the HBoot!
HTC Sync is uninstalled and i rebooted my com after uninstalling
Basically the error says its unable to find driver software for my device
Sorry i can't post the screenshot, post count is too low
Why would you want to update hboot. But since you have a driver error try finding the hboot drivers.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Oops i didn't mean update, i meant install
What is it you're trying to do? If you mean S-OFF then you just run the CD and plug your phone in. If you're already S-OFF and want to flash a new MTD then you do so using fastboot
I'm trying to root my phone.
I read from guides that i have to install the HBoot drivers first. I suppose this part is correct.
OK, things are a bit clearer...
I take it you have unrEVOked 3.32 downloaded correct? Then follow these instructions (from their website):
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
Yes exact same place which i was refering to. But i have no idea why mine doesn't install. It says Windows could not find driver software for your device. I have downloaded the modified usb driver.
I would post the screen shot but i dun have enough post counts >.<
You need to point Windows to the place where the driver is (personally I didn't have to use the modified one, the HTC Sync drivers were enough)
so i should skip the HBoot drivers step? I'm using Windows btw.
I should be giving the correct directory.
I have to extract the usb driver right
How I did it:
1. Install HTC Sync
2. Uninstall HTC Sync but leave the HTC Drivers
3. Boot phone into HBOOT and connect to PC and wait for driver to be installed
4. Turn phone on again in normal Android
5. Set USB Debugging on
6. Start unrEVOked
7. Set custom recovery (as I like to use AmonRA)
8. Connect phone to PC
9. Allow unrEVOked to complete
what do you mean in step 3 wait for the driver to install?
This bother me a lot!
I've tried to install UnrEVOked on my Desire, but I can't install these lame drivers!
They keep on failing, either they tell me, that my drivers can't be updated to any better. Or that my install of the drivers were unsucessful.
Do any of you know what to do?
Windows XP, SP3.
I do have HTC Sync, I've tried several times, restartet my computer.
Any help would be appreciated.
im no expert i only just used unrevoked a few days ago, i never installed htc sync and was wondering why i couldnt get it to work, but i had to install then uninstall htc sync then put the phone into recovery then install the hboot drivers. try unstalling htc sync

You if have HTC sync installed on your computer, you need to uninstall this, doing this leaves the correct drivers.
Swyped from HTC desire
Follow this steps it should make you ready to go. Also check if you have PVT-4(boot into Hboot (from off, hold volume down and press power)), and if you have it then download Terminal emulator from the market and open it.
Type "cat /proc/mtd" and press enter. It will return results of either 20,000 or 40,000.
If you get 20,000 you must select AmonRa (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20471345/SUroot/Tools/Android/Recovery/recovery-RA_2.0.1.img) as custom recovery from UnrEVOked: File->CustomRecovery (or Ctrl+R) and select the img you just downloaded.
If you have 40,000 you don't need the modify anything, unless you want AmonRa instead of CWM.
Install HTC Sync
Remove HTC sync (application only) via Control panel (add remove programs / programs and features) - This should leave the drivers behind, which we need to keep.
Install the Hboot drivers (http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/lib/e...revoked.com/recovery/android-usb-driver.zip):
Extract your hboot driver files somewhere you will remember.
Boot into Hboot screen (from off, hold volume down and press power)
Connect Desire to PC (the screen will then show "HBOOT USB")
Right click "My computer" > Manage > Device Manager
Expand "Other Devices" in the right-hand pain and locate "Android 1.0 device"
Right click on Android 1.0 and click Update Driver Software
Click on Browse my computer for driver software.
Click on Browse and select the Android USB Driver folder you extracted earlier (press OK to any errors received and Close when complete)
Check Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone in device manager.
Credits for these steps goes to SUroot.
If you have 40,000 you don't need the modify anything, unless you want AmonRa instead of CWM.
If you have erase size 40000 you need to use amonra 2.01.
To install them, you must be in the bootlader (HBOOT).

hi,first post on this section . upgraded from the desire bravo,could do with some advice..
purchased a used dhd in good condition,changed housings etc,its running the latest htc 3.12.405.1 sense 3.0 android 2.3.5 .after a good search i realised i would have to downgrade to s-off etc.
my problem is i can't get into fast boot power down volume,pulled battery tried lots of times.
pc will not recognise dhd,installed drivers etc,should be able to sort that one out myself.
but i cant work out why i cant get into fastboot,the phone just restarts
thanks mark
Hi,
Download HTC Sync and install that, that contains all the required USB drivers needed.
As for getting into fastboot, have you disabled HTC "Fastboot"? Its in a setting somewhere. Possibly under Settings>Applications or Settings>Development. Make sure that is unticked.
If you take your battery out & reinsert, hold vol down then press power. That should do it for you. If not, enable USB Debugging and use adb to get into the bootloader with,
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
You will need the SDK or a thinned down adb package. Which you can grab from HERE.
You will need the USB drivers for that to work.
EDIT: Just re-read your post. If you have HTC Sync installed and you still cannot get it detected then there maybe an issue with either the handset or your computer. Check "Device Manager" when its plugged in to see if there is a conflict.
htc sinc was allready on pc from desire bravo,well just the drivers.have tried the htc fastboot uncheck earlier no good,re installed htc sinc as i thought it may be different for dhd,but its not.
pc will not pick up device,says drivers not installed.i know they are as the bravo worked fine.
i had read somewhere that unrooted dhd can be usb bricked,there is a fix by some french chap on here,but i cant do that because cant get into fastboot.
need to get into fastboot first i think,to see whats what,device could allready be s-off dont know.
strange
edit: volume button was not working correctly lol, s-on,now to sort out the drivers,downgrade and flash a nice rom
