Root process

I am updating my Desire in order to gain Root access, and I want to document the process as completely as possible. Partially for my own benefit, and also so that others may learn from my experience and research. An awful lot of fantastic work has been done by many individuals, but as a novice, I've found some of the documentation lacking.
Also, I would really like help in double-checking my work.
I intend to update this post, to improve the details, but only for this specific process. Hopefully, quite soon I will shed my n00b restrictions and be able to add the links I describe. I won't be adding other Rooting methods here.
First, details about my phone. I bought a SIM-free, unbranded Desire at MediaMarkt (Berlin, Germany) on 2010-07-30. It cost €475, and I paid €120 for two years of very comprehensive insurance.
I use a prepaid plan from Fonic, with HSDPA data and "Targesflatrate".
At the time, I recorded the following:
(from Menu>Settings>About phone>Software Information)
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2
Kernel version: 2.6.23-0cb9f166 htc-kernel(a)and18-2 #1
Build number: 1.21.405.2 CL174215 release-keys
Software number: 1.21.405.2
Browser version: Webkit 3.1
(As a new user, I am apparently not allowed to use the "at symbol" in any way, so above in the Kernel version, I have shown (a) where it should be.)​
Lucky me, that very weekend HTC pushed the OTA Froyo 2.2 update. Joy! HD video and WiFi tethering!
And last week, I applied an additional OTA update of some nondescript improvements. Now, my phone reflects the following:
Android version: 2.2
Baseband version: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
Kernel version: 2.6.32.15-g6a358a9 htc-kernel(a)and18-2 #1
Build number: 2.10.405.2 CL226611 release-keys
Software number: 2.10.405.2
Browser version: Webkit 3.1​
Thru my reading, I've found that some bootloader specs might also be pertinent. I was unaware before, and so did not record this information for my phone Out Of The Box:
(Power the phone off, then load HBOOT by pressing and holding the Volume Down key + the Power key)
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.00001
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

The rooting process in general, I see as
Backing up data
Unlocking the bootloader (S-OFF)
Flashing a custom Recovery image (ClockworkMod)
Gaining su ROOT privileges
Backing up system (Nandroid)
Update Radio
Flashing a Custom ROM (w- GApps)
Using ROOT privileges to run previously unavailable Apps, etc.
Tools are readily available to do this in mere minutes, as well as explanations and videos showing the process. I am moving slowly because I am meticulous about hopefully being able to UNDO any and all steps I take.
1) Backing up data
Without Root, this is a combination of manually copying of files...
Photos, voice recordings, GPS traces, Paint images
...and using Apps to help consolidate other information I would like to save in the unlikely event things don't work perfectly.
AppMonster, Call Logs Backup & Restore, SMS Backup & Restore
<links to Apps>
Unfortunately, useful apps like Titanium Backup require Root! Thus, unhelpful in backing up BEFORE rooting a phone.
Confusingly, the Cyanogen wiki actually recommends using Titanium as well as Backup For Root Users before rooting the phone.
<link to Cyanogen wiki>
2, 3, 4) Unlocking bootloader; Flashing custom recovery; Gaining su privileges
These are grouped together because I'll do them all at once using the fantastic tool put out by unrevoked, specifically, the most current v3.21.
<link to Wiki information>
TheUnLockr has some useful videos, including one showing this exact process
<link to video w- instructions>
Since I'm on a Windows machine, I need to install the HBOOT driver. Then, just run the Executable, and plug in the phone, wait, and click the FASTBOOT
I understand that this process does not inherently Wipe any data, and carries very limited risk of accidental loss.
These are the first steps I am MOST concerned about being able to Undo, should I ever choose to. At this point, I am going by what TheUnLockr has to say on the subject of UnRooting. Specifically, by using HTCSync, in combination with the appropriate RUU.
From the information above, I downloaded a copy of
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
<link to RUU post>
This appears to be a perfect match for the specs of my phone when it was brand new. Then, I would assuredly be able to apply the OTA updates I have already done, should the need actually arise.
??? Will flashing with RUU restore the original RECOVERY image ???
??? Will bootloader be replaced with a different version ???
??? Will bootloader security be re-instituted (S-ON) ???
??? If bootloader is NOT locked, will I be able to do OTA updates ???
??? Will data be Wiped with this process ???
5, 6, 7) Nandroid backup, Flashing the radio, Flashing custom ROM
I intend to go with the popular Cyanogen, so these steps are described in detail on their recent forum post CyanogenMod-6 for Desire
<link>

Unrevoked3 doesn't provide S-OFF on GSM Desires. It uses an exploit (publicly unknown) to flash the recovery partition, which is then re-locked.
If you have upgraded to Froyo, you cannot use an older RUU to unroot, you'd need the same Froyo version (or higher), unless you downgrade.

Doh! I'd planned to reserve the 2nd post for Updates. I got in a hurry last night. Ah well.
I have since realized that I was mistaken, that unrevoked3 does NOT do S-OFF. unrevoked forever would do this, but is currently not supported for HTC Desire.
<unrevoked forever link>
Thanks for the tip on the Froyo RUU. I will look into it further and update my findings.
I'm not entirely clear, tho... I had fully intended that the older RUU would include downgrading from Froyo. Are you saying that this wouldn't work? If I then re-applied the OTA Froyo, would I not be back to Out-of-the-box + OTA Ugrade (still not rooted)?

[Q] What could be the issue with me installing OTA 2.3?

Hi guys just tried to install the 2.3 OTA update that came through today.
Problem is as soon as I try it reboots to the exclamation mark and android symbol.
I am ENG S-OFF Radio S-OFF Sim Unlocked and Perm Rooted.
I did however change my CID to the standard HTC 001.
What could be the issue? I'm not getting any error notifactions or if I am I don't know where to find them?
Any advice?

Have you removed any system apps? Or any of the bloatware they pack in stock builds?

No the only thing I have done is to permroot with Visionary and add radio s-off and supercid now I changed the cid back to stock in prep for the update coming. The ROM is completely standard and stock.
My current version and build info is as follows:
Android Version
2.2
Baseband Version
12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M

Oh and when trying to use this tool after the failed OTA update attempt to change radio s-off back to on to see if that worked the program no longer seems to work returning failed probably connection errors: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
Thanks for the quick reply.

Same problem as I have in my thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081923&page=2
I think its becuase we have S-OFF that we cant get the update. I'd like to know how to get S-OFF back on

If you're both rooted, etc... Why don't you try Seraphics rooted GB ROM?
You can flash it via recovery and is completely stock, other than having root access.
You can find the thread HERE and the ROM HERE

I wouldn't mind knowing how to get S-OFF back on. Starting to wish I didn't root as I cant even get an OTA.

Same problem
I had the same problem ealier today. Yellow ! when the update shuts down the phone, but take out the battery and it loads back 2.2 up..
Tried undoing changes I could remember making- the radio s-off, rooting and the CID. Only other thing I could think of was trying to take clockworkmod recovery off the phone.
I decided just to flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059563
...If you can flash roms, this is probably gonna be much the same as the update.
In the end I was actually pretty disappointed with it. I've tried RCMIX kingdom ROM which has elements of sense3 in it. I hadn't done my research and expected sense 3 with this update.

Thanks for the suggestions guys but I'll be frank and say custom roms aren't interesting me. I use Launcher Pro and make my own lockscreens for all my visual customisations and haven't seen any ROM that does anything out the ordinary other than tweaks.
Its knocked my confidence in using anything off here especially when the tool to s-off supercid and simunlock says its simple enough to go back where in reality after attempting OTA something in the settings somewhere has changed and screwed it up.

The ROM I linked to isn't a custom ROM. Its stock HTC gingerbread with root.

Thanks had a looked more in detail at the rom you linked to and have to say I'm convinced and can't be bothered with OTA anymore lol Decided to stop sitting on the fence and throw myself at the dev communities mercy lol Those using the Easy Radio tool won't be able to go back to s-on unless rooted and to do so ensure that you haven't denied access to an unamed process called "Unknown" in your superuser app as this refers to the radio tools access.

[Q] [SOLVED] Final question before rooting my DZ

Hi,
I've got my DZ a couple of days ago. It's a secondhand DZ. Previously i've used HTC Touch, Touch Dual, TP2, so this is my first Android experience. I did lots of ROM playing on previous winmo phones, but after reading for these couple of days of Android modding, i learn that flashing another Android ROM is not so simple as winmo ROM.
This is my DZ info:
Android version 2.2.1
Baseband version 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2
Kernel version 2.6.32.21-g6e170e7

MICROP - 0425
RADIO - 26.04.02.17_M2
eMMC - boot
Dec 13 2010
I've check with root checker and Titanium Backup, it says NO root access.
I've learned that with 1.82, i will have to downgrade first to 1.34.
In the steps for downgrading, i found that i will have to flash signed PC10IMG. But i also found in the sticky thread there's a warning, not to flash signed PC10IMG if i have S-OFF. So before i can downgrade, i have to get the S-ON.
I've read in a thread :
If for some reason (sending phone for warranty or repair, etc) you want to go back to S-ON:
- If you got S-OFF by flashing an Engineering hBoot, download the official HTC RUU for your phone version and flash the stock firmware back again. S-ON will be restored. This forum contains many threads with official RUUs.
- If you got S-OFF with gfree, it saved a backup copy to your SD card called "part7backup-xxxxxxxxxx.bin". It can be flashed back from a terminal emulator or from an ADB shell:
"dd if=/wherever/your/part7backup-xxxxxxx.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7
The problem is, i got a secondhand unit without microSD card. How can I get S-ON? I don't know how (what method) my DZ got S-OFF at the first place.
Any help is much appreciated.

You are already S-OFF? I'd find it strange that you'd be S-OFF and not be rooted.

install rom manager and check if there has been a recovery already flashed. Might answer your question
Why do you want s-on? S-off is a good thing

You can check if you got S-OFF or S-ON
by entering bootloader
Power off your phone, then, hold the volume down key and the power key.
You might need to disable fastboot

I've already installed Rom manager and there's no clockwork recvery installed.
I want to flash custom rom. I need a root to do that. To get a root, i need to downgrade. To downgrade, i need to flash signed pc10img. And there's a warning here that said DONT flash pc10img with S-OFF. That's the problem.

I already did that. Bootloader says VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF. So that means i definitely have S-OFF.

I've learned some more from the post here and there. I think i figured out what happen with my DZ. I think the previous owner rooted and S-OFF the phone in the old firmware 1.34 then got an OTA update to 1.84. That update destroyed the root but somehow still S-OFF.
If I follow the direction in this thread, i assume that i can downgrade and root again. I will not need a goldcard to downgrade because currently i have S-OFF.

I am not sure whether it will work. But I am curious too.
I once upgrade via OTA and then I downgrade it following the instruction as per your link reference too. I rooted succesfully.
But, my DZ was S-ON.
Now you are in a different situation. You want to downgrade and root it but you already S-OFF.
Do you want to try it?
Cheers

I guess i have to try it.. will report after trying. Thnks all for the help..

Your theory on the previous owner having used the over the air update after rooting seems right to me. I've read more than a few times it will still show S-OFF but not be true S-OFF. Because you can't get S-OFF without root (well surely not on the newer 1.82's)

I'm not familiar with the 1.82 issues (why normal root methods fail on 1.82) but I wonder if temp root works, if you have radio S-OFF and temp root works it might be as simple as:
1. Obtain Temp Root (even Visionary could work)
2. Flash CWM Recovery (I'd use the flash_image method and not ROM Manager)
3. Reboot into CWM recovery
4. ...
5. Profit (Install a new pre-rooted ROM)
Of course this all depends on if temp root works with 1.82 and if your S-OFF is really S-OFF but it seems like a quick & easy thing to try.

I did it guys. It went smooth. Still needs goldcard though due to unmatched CID.
I'm on 1.34, rooted and S-OFF. Next find out ROM that i like most. Any recommendation? it has to be cool and fast..
So i figured that the warning "do not flash signed PC10IMG if you have S-OFF" is before we have the misc_version method. With misc_version "main is older" problem will never occur, provided misc_version done correctly.
Thank you all guys for your help and time especially for those guides starter. You guys are the ones who make this forum SO GREAT!

[Q] How To Root

Hey guys
I am totally new to the android phones, and now having a DHD which has the following specs:
Android Ver. 2.2
BaseBand Ver. 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_m
Kernel Ver. 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d
Build No. 1.32.405.6
Software No. 1.32.405.6
Now i looked at this link -
and didn't understand if i have to downgrade my DHD as well or is my version old enough so i can skip right ahead to the S-Off and ROOT?
can anyone tell me from what ver., and Ver. of what, do you have to perform downgrading?
thanks.

No need to downgrade.

how to root gingerbread
hi everybody,
forgive me if I' writing in the wrong place but for me has been enough difficult to get here..
I'm a rookie android user and I've been flying over the forums for the last three days, I'm really getting crazy.
Here are the specifics of my phone (branded):
android version 2.3.3
kernel version 2.6.35.10-gd2564fb
software number 2.50.405.2
and here's the problem:
I have purchased an AR drone and I'm trying to get it connected so I visited the following link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072281
seems that the first thing i need is a ROOTED Desire HD . I have tried every thing. Visionary (in different releases installed with ASTRO) seems not to be working. When i select Temproot now, after a while, the screen turns black. I waited for several minutes but nothing happened. So I needed to exit the program selecting "home". At that point it didn't allow me to rerun the app, I needed to reboot the phone to get it working again but no success.
So I tried GINGERBREAK 1.2 but after 25 minutes the rebooting process was still going on and I guessed that something was not working properly (as usual), so I stopped it. I think there is also a problem with Superuser (v 2.3.6.3), infact when I try to update it, it says "an error occurred and su was not updated. A zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sdcard, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary" (by the way...sorry for my inexperience, but what does "flash something" mean????).Anyway, my phone doesn't reboot on clockwork recovery.
Moreover, upon opening Rom manager (v4.3.2.4) it tells me that I must root my phone to get it working (of course) and that it cannot find Superuser at "system/bin/su" or "system/xbin/su". Guess what! I don't have such files on my phone.....
At this time i don't know what else I can do, I'm relly frustrated.
Can anyone help me out? keep in mind that if you have any kind of solution, I need some very "plain" explanation like if you were talking to your 5 years old son, please
Thanks

If we update with software number 2.50.405.2 can we root?

No, firmware > 2.37 cannot be rooted.

Thanks for the info, I guess I have to get rid of my AR Drone

I'm just completely stumped. I spent ages trying to get get unrevoked to work, but apparently not with 2.2.
So I got a downgrade guide, from here, and followed that to understand what I need to do. I've done the following:
[*]Installed HTC Sync, then uninstalled app to keep the usb drivers
[*]Installed the unrevoked HBOOT drivers to get the Bootloader Interface
[*]Downloaded the download kit and two more different image zips to the unrevoked reflash package (PD98IMG and PB99IMG 2.29.405.5 Radio 32.49.00.32U 5.11.05.27 release 159811 signed)
I run through the command line instructions in the guide and I get the hash temproot access in place, however, when I then reboot the handset I get the quick run through of each area and 'no image' under each one and then lastly I get a "no image or wrong image". As my phone is not branded I'm not using a goldcard (believe I don't need it from all comments) - which everything I've read tells me is a mem card or goldcard error. I've even reformatted my card in the phone - but still no luck.
I've now spent 2 days hunting the internet to work out what is going on...so any help, suggestions, confirmation I've been a total andriod noob would be appreciated ! I've spent my whole weekend trying to fix this, thanks Matt
PS: Only thing I can think to add is that the phone looks to be a Dubai region - hence my desire to root and v2.3 to get around marketapp nightmares.

Nooob - heal thyself...
The answer was in reading it all. Slowly.
I will suggest that in writing it all down slowly I realised I'd confused some steps from unrevoked attempts to the downgrade. So I went back to the guide...and read the bit at the top again and its the only place I ever saw mention of regional phones needing a gold card. So I used the addictivetips guide and excellent gold card tool and I was away !
Looks like I've downgraded it. So...now to crack on with root and ROM !

Format your SD card to FAT32 format, no formatting to default. That should make it work. Reason being bootloader only reads FAT32 or lower

I have the same phone. It's made for Iran. The only way to solve your problem is the gold card.

PS: Only thing I can think to add is that the phone looks to be a Dubai region - hence my desire to root and v2.3 to get around marketapp nightmares.

Just wondering why you got urself in so much trouble, u should've tried visionary plus to root your device... if rooting was the only thing you wanted..(as what i understood from a quick glance to ur post)..
