Hi,
I just received a couple of new Desires with HBOOT 0.93.0001 preinstalled.
Has anyone seen this before, and is it safe to root?
Thanks,
Adam
Go into settings and about and list firmware details.u might have a new radio too.
Hoot prob 4 slcd tho

You don't root a bootloader. But if you have Froyo, you will not be able to root it. You'll have to downgrade the software first.
Did you get the Desire from Vodafone UK? I know their new 2.2 OTA update changes the HBOOT to 0.93 apparently (which can't be rooted at present)
Thanks for the quick responses.
The Desires did indeed come from VF UK, and yes they are SLCD.
The radio version is the same as the one I've seen on this site: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
Looks like I'll have wait until one of the hacking ninjas works out an easy way to get a root applied to a Froyo desire...

1. Can it be rooted
2. Is it slcd or amoled
It can be rooted my desires hboot is the same. I think its amoled but you can ring HTC and they will tell you.

If it was just the mobo and you were on 0.80 then you're on AMOLED...either way you can root without issues
Yes it can bee rooted mine is also 0.93
look at this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776696
same hboot,radio and slcd and i was able to root using unrevoked 3.21
Tried unrevoked 3.21 (4 - 5 times) and it would not root it. Spoke to guys on irc and they dont know why it did not work.
Wondering if I should go down the downgrade 2.2 to 2.1 then root then use a custom rom back to 2.2. I want to try the cyanogen rom really.
OH and thanks guys
What happens (or not) when you try?
Bascially it says its doing it but it aint.
Waiting for boot when its already rebooted.
Pushing recovery when its not.
connect device.

Any success yet?
Did you buy yours with this version of Hboot or was it upgraded via OTA? when?
a couple of mates have same problem can't root 0.93.0001
Yeah all sorted now thanks. Followed the "how to" at the unlocker
Rooted with unrevoked
Rom manager failed to flash 2 or 3 different roms so I flashed with Leedroid 2.2f using clockwork.
reports that you can flash cyanogen rom with amom ra bit not tried that way yet.
Happy with leedroid for now any way.
I had to send my .80 boot back to HTC for repair (GPS problem) and it came back with a new mobo and software.
You can root if you follow the correct "How to" some miss a few things out

Just rooted mine last night, no problems.
Am on T-Mobile UK, HBOOT 0.93.0001, radio etc all same as yours, all latest s/w from TMUK as I had just received it back from repair recently.
My steps:
Used Unrevoked 3.22.
Download htc sync, install, then uninstall the sync application, leaving the drivers on. Didn't need to mess with hboot drivers in my case.
Attached device, connected in disk drive mode with usb debugging enabled.
Ran Unrevoked.
That was it.
My PC runs Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit.
I follow the same steps still same hanging with "Waiting for root... (safe to restart if this doesn't work). My ROM is:RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC__ARA_2.32.415.3_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157343_signed.exe
Hey All,
Hopefully I'm not totally recovering ground someone has already asked about. But I had a query and I couldn't post under the thread I wanted to ask the question in.
A while back I created a gold card and put the WWE stock RUU on my phone (unbranded my Vodafone AU DHD). I'm still running the stock RUU Android 2.2, I never updated to 2.3. Due to a possible warranty issue coming up, I was thinking I should probably change it back to the Vodafone image. I can't find a Vodafone AU RUU installer for the DHD.
I have been looking at this guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920876
It seems pretty comprehensive, but I'm just wondering if it's the right guide I should be following. The only reason I ask is I have not rooted my phone or installed a custom ROM. All I've done is un-brand the phone with the Stock ROM and a gold card.
Looking in the boot loader it says:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.85.0007
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
Under Software info it says:
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Software number: 1.32.405.6
Is there another way to install the Vodafone ROM or do I need to use Clockwork Mod? And do I need my phone rooted to do this (I've never used Clockwork)? Just want to easiest way to go back to the Vodafone ROM
Thanks in advance and sorry if I'm going over old territory.
You are on the right guide basically looks like you will need to have clockworkmod to get stock vodafone back.

Sorry to probably ask something that has been asked a hundred times.
I have a Desire HD that was originally locked to Three Mobile. (UK)
I rooted it ages ago and now need to unroot it as I wish to sell it. (the place I am selling it wont take it due to custom firmware, they format the phone and see Hboot.)
I have a goldcard but no idea what to do now.
RUUs don't seem to work.
Baseband is 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M
Finally got back into hboot.

ah damn! Didn't even notice this was just the desire forum. How do i delete my topic..
Hi there guys, I'm new to this place so I'm not entirely sure if this is the right area to post, hope it is XD
So basically, I have my HTC Desire, which I am unable to root. When I try rooting via Revoked, it gets to the screen where it says 'Make sure drivers are installed', but the thing is, when I follow tutorials for installing the drivers (Install HTC Sync, uninstall, connect with the Android 1.0 and update) the problem is, I do get Android 1.0, but I can't update it, it is just grayed out. But then Windows Update does something and it changes to HTC Serial Interface (COM4/5)
So in another tutorial I read I had to unlock bootloader, so I jumped on HTCDev and got the file and then it updated my HBoot to 1.03.0003, which apparently is not something that works or something? (I'm not fully sure, first time rooting D: ) and then I read I had to downgrade, but when I downgrade with the RUU it just won't work, it says to make sure it's connected even though it is. I am fully stuck, and really don't know what to do!
The guides I used (I can't find em all) are:
