I rebooted my computer so i had to redownload unrevoked. When i downloaded the hboot drivers i unzipped those fine. When i connect my phone to laptop in the hboot menu and hit hboot usb its sayin driver unsuccessfully installed. Before my phone was rooted thus process was simple. I would follow the instructions on unrevoked website and when i looked under device manager it would say android device. Is the fact my phone is rooted causing the issue?

Tired of scouring through help videos and google searches... I hope someone on here can help me.
Rooted my HTC Desire via the unrevoked 3.2 method and used for a few days before deciding to S-OFF. Well i made a mistake and got stuck in a boot loop. Reflashed the RUU and i am back in business.
The issue is that i had to reinstall HTC Sync to reflash the RUU and then uninstall again so i could re-root, leaving the drivers in of course. I noticed that when i connect phone to PC via the same method as before, it should have had 'ANDROID 1.0' in device manager but this time it says MY HTC.
Can anyone explain what to do?
1) I can go ahead and root as before, this is just the new version of HTC Sync drivers.
2) Stay clear, the new drivers mean the bootloader is locked.
Which is it?????
I am a noob and although some members on here instructed me to use adb, i am out of my depth with that, even the guides available aren't simple enough for me.
Surely there must be an easy way out of this?
Any help would be much appreciated!
u can try uninstall the drivers and reinstall them back to be safe. also install the modified hboot drivers from unrevoked.
Thanks for your reply. Already tried to uninstall then reinstall the drivers. The issue is happening when I try to install the modified hboot driver, it says the driver is up to date but doesn't show as 'Android Bootloader Interface'.

When your Mobile is fully booted it will show My HTC.. and when you will boot into fastboot.. by volume down and power.. you will see 'Android Bootloader Interface'.
So that mean, YES you can root with unrevoked while you have 'MY HTC' in device manager with USB Debugging On.

Important correction: IS(!!!!), not was.
unrevoked did not work on my mac? should i try it on pc..
1st time i tried it seemed like it was going threw and then said error failed to get root firmware is too new?
2nd and 3rd time i gets to waiting for system to settle and just hangs there.. with a black screen on my dinc and the htc unlock.. but the screen does not work.. can not slide the htc unlock.. ?
now what .. should i try it on a PC?
is there another / better way..
thank you
You can try from a pc. Youll just have to install the usb driver. What radio are you on and are you running froyo or gingerbread?

Froyo 2.2
baseband version 2.15.00.07.28 (radio?)
softwarenumber 3.26.605.1
is there a possibility that is just didnt work threw the mac..
(when i did threw the mac it was just one click and kept on going.. i didnt have to do anything, is that normal?)
is there another way besides unrevoked?
There 's only Unrevoked for the Incredible. Rooting via the Mac or Linux is a one click method. It is the easier method whereas rooting via PC requires you install drivers prior to rooting.
It took me a few tries when using Unrevoked on my friends Mac before it worked. I think my solution was a matter of plugging and unplugging it, selecting USB Debugging for it to work, OR redownloading unrevoked and restarting my friends Mac. It was so long ago that I don't remember why it didn't work initially but it worked the fourth attempt.

Firstly, you haven't got a recovery.
Secondly, post the bootloader information.
Bootloader Information:
HBOOT 0-93.0001
Radio 5.11.05.27
News???
Sounds like you haven't got a recovery.
If the phone boots, S-OFF it with revolutionary and flash recovery.
If it doesn't boot then run a RUU and do as above.
Tks
I tryed with S-OFF revolutionary but when I run revolutionary compare:
"Waiting for device"
I install drivere HTCDriver3.0.0.007
Are you sure we're in fastboot while running revolutionary?

Yes sure!!!
Is Windows 7 the problem???
Nope, Windows 7 isn't the problem. Have you installed the necessary Windows hboot drivers correctly?

I install driver HTCDriver3.0.0.007(driver for fastboot)
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
This driver is correct???
Driver looks ok, I meant when installing them with phone in fastboot did you get Android Bootloader Interface listed under Android Phone in Device Manager on pc?
edit: presume HTC Sync application not installed, or anything like myphoneexplorer that might interfere with process?
HTC Sync don't installed.
In attach Android Phone in Device Manager(first fastboot and after fastboot)
Can't remember now if Win 7 has a different device description to XP, will need to check what shows up on my pc at home. Another thing that might interfere with process is running anti-virus eg AVG - so might need to be disabled.
edit: checked that and looks ok, try unistall and re-install the drivers. Is it possible you somehow got a usb brick?
Okay, I tried rooting my EVO and it didn't go so well I followed this guide.

But, the Revolutionary site works just fine. but, when I opened the file .exe it opened Command Prompt like I expected but stuck at "Waiting For Device....."
I turned on USB Debugging and Checked Stay awake. and did everything it said.
How do you root 2.3 and what am I doing wrong?
Please help?

Did you download and install the revolutionary drivers? It doesn't sound like you did.
I started to download unrevoked onto my Evo, but the cable became disconnected.. Now, when I try to use the Unrevoked program to "reload" the program, it just sits there and does not seem to recognize that my device is connected... I do have debugging mode on, as per the instructions. Revolutionary also just waits to recognize the device. The device is recognized, as the evo tells me the debugging mode is on when the cable is plugged in.,,,
What can I do to solve this issue??? I just want to root my phone... Thanks!!!:crying:
Any other suggestions for rooting appreciated!

Hi Diva64, how far did you get in the process before the usb came unplugged? Are you able to just reboot your phone and start again? Any other information you can give to pin point what stage it went wrong and what your phone is doing, or not doing will help me walk you through the rooting process.
Thanks jOst..
I got probably about 75% of the download. The phone is acting fine... I was able to just continue on as if nothing happened.... the problem is when trying to "redownload" the revolutionary program onto the evo via the windows popup program. ... the windows computer program pops up, but says it is waiting for the device to be connected.
When I connect the evo, the notification bar tells me debugging mode is on, but nothing else happens on the evo or the windows program. I did try rebooting the phone w/no problem, and I cleared the application cache, thinking that maybe the evo thinks the download occurred... Again, the phone itself works fine in stock mode... Hope this provides some clarification! Thanks for your help!

hey Diva64,
sorry it took a min to get back to you. Glad to hear your phone is able to go through round two..lol, ok. I have ran a virtual machine numerous times and have found these basic failures, basically to do with wrong drivers or lack there of....question...do you have htc sync installed on the pc you are rooting from? if yes, remove and go to root method.... if no, question two. Do you have the diagnostic drivers installed for your phone yet? if no, google search diag evo drivers and install. (will give more instructions as you define what or what is not missing. ) if yes, question three. did you verify the checksum of your downloaded unrevoked.exe. possibly corrupted files is why i ask. if no, check by going to download page and look for sum. after redownloading, match the sum from your pc to what is listed on the dl page. let me know what you find.
Still not rooting
I was able to make some progress.. to the point that the screen on the computer tells me it is "rooting..." it does this for a few minutes, then I get an error screen telling me "error: Failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?"
My Phone is an Evo 4g (NOT lte)
Sprint
Supersonic EVT 3 Ship S - ON
Hboot 2.16.0001
Android 2.3.3
What should I do next? Thanks!!!
You should be using Revolutionary, not Unrevoked. Unrevoked is for older Hboots. Been awhile since I used it, so not sure how much help I can offer. Biggest thing to me was making sure I had the drivers installed that are in the Revolutionary guide. Everything else was a cinch.
