I am trying to reroot my htc desire using unrevoked. The first time i ran it it says This was a triump. After which it says failed to unlock nand flash. I re ran it a second time but this time it give me :failed to get root. Is your firmware too new. I did a search through google and it says that you have to do a factory reset before flashing. I did a factory reset and run unrevoked a third time but it still give the: failed to get root........Is your firmware too new. Any ideas? I’m re rooting because i had a usb bricked. I had follow instructions on this forum and was able to unbrick my phone. But now i can’t flash any rom other than RCHMix.
I had that problem. Are you using unrevoked3.?

Use unrevoked forever then go to hboot.. phone off power + volume down button till hboot is up. Check on top left to see s-on or s-off. Itlf it says s-off you are good to go and nand unlocked..

Use unrevoked, that's what I did, run revolutionary then unrevoked

Or you flash the zip file from the documentation site after running revolutionary.

I did like MatDroid said after I did the HTC 2.3 update but now all rooted again and one happy bunny
I flashed the PC10IMG and followed the instructions exactly.
When I go into bootloader, I see the error "loading PC10IMG wrong image".
What did I do wrong and how can I fix it?
Thanks.

I believe K.Bix is referring to the "official" radio thread in the development section.
Do you have engineering hboot? I'd recommend flashing the radio with fastboot. And don't forget to check the MD5 sums.

rowity and
I'm currently using hboot 2.10.0001 with radio 2.15.00.11.19, I was using hboot hboot 2.18.0001 I read that I could downgrade my hboot to 2.10.0001 that way I can use unrevoked3 to root the phone. I followed all the instructions and used the boot unlocker from htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader and use captain throwbacks method. When I installed the pc36img.img from captain throwbacks guide it seemed to mess everything up. I don't have a custom recovery but I should have one at this point right? I am so confused. I have s-off but it says I don't have root. I did have HTC sync installed when I tried to root it the first time and it failed so I had to uninstall HTC sync.
I can't remember but shouldn't it be "PC36IMG.zip"..? Been a while since I rooted my phone.

Your radio is too new for unrevoked u need to bump your hboot up to 2.16 and use revolutionary.io I don't know any way to downgrade the radio with s-on so u can use unrevoked

I don't know what guides you followed but get used to reading the stickies that is where the useful information is located:

If you already unlocked the bootloader, then just flash a custom recovery and then Superuser.
Rooted now. How can I s-off ontop of root.

What about reading the whole post I linked you?...
...As you can notice root access is easy to be gained but not S-OFF. If you are skilled in android and working with terminal or cmd commands, then you can use this: http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=411...

That is the only way to gain S-OFF right now. Why you need S-OFF btw?
No reason really, fastbooting the .img I'm simple. But s-off makes it a little easier

One thing I've noticed is that ky recovery does NOT restore backups. Md5 mismatch. Would this be a ad card problem or recovery its self. Tried flashing 4ext but needed s-off
