[Q] Strange Unrooting Problems

I purchased my Desire back in June and as soon as i found out about rooting
i used the one click unrevoked 3 method. Due to it being unbranded i didnt need a gold card i simply did so. After which i had problems installing some roms and its become too difficult so ive decided to unroot it and use it as it was meant to be until i gain more knowledge.
My problem is no matter which RUU i use following the unlocker method nothing works. I continue to get the error that none of the RUUs are suitable for my phone.
I have looked through the other posts but couldnt find an answer that worked for me.
my radio is 32.44.00.32u_5.09.05.30_2
Im running AuraxTSense 7.6.1 Froyo FRF91 by NeoPhyTe
Can anyone help me?

Hi,
Is your Hboot 0.93 ?
try this RUU : http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
Enter bootloader (vol.dw+power), then plug the phone to USB and run the RUU it should work...
Have u installed HTC Sync again after using unrevoked?
U need the htc drivers installed

Have u tried LeeDroid?
Running stable and fast in my Desire, I rooted nd unrooted the phone twice, but every time i go back to unroot status i get bored, so root again, i think u should try another ROM first before unroot, try mine : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703
Download de ROM,
Install thru ROM Manager or directly thru Recovery, but remember to Wipe data before u install make a clean install, if u still experience any issues go back to Stock...

My Hboot is 0.93.0001
Ill try the RUU tomorrow when i have enough time at my disposal
Although ill try leedroid first just in case. Hopefully it works and is good enough
thanks for the help

Just curious, but did it work?

[Q] Help Needed in Rooting HTC Desire (Froyo)

Forum newbie here. Sorry if this has been answered before, but I can't seem to find it poking around.
I want to root a newly-purchased HTC Desire that came stock w/ Android 2.2
I've never installed HTC Sync on my PC, and I've never even used the stock 2Gb micro SD that came with the phone (I immediately replaced it w/ a 16Gb mem card).
The Hboot USB Driver installed properly so that I can see "Android Bootloader Interface" in Device Manager under "Android Phone" when the phone is plugged into the PC, but when I turn the phone on again in normal mode and plug it back in, it only shows "ADB" under "Other Devices". I did turn on USB debugging and changed the Sync mode to "Charge only" after plugging in the phone.
The Unrevoked program (3.22) starts up a bit too slowly. And when I try to root the phone, nothing happens past the splash screen. It seems unable to detect the phone. Why might this be?
My phone's details are as follows:
Android ver. 2.2
Software # 2.13.707.2
Hboot ver. 0.93.001
Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-ON
Thanks for any help.

Did you try to open the hboot driver.htm file that is inside your unrevoked folder ?
Because in that file it says - step-by-step what you need to do - download some modified drivers and install those first

There isn't a folder of any sort. When I click the unrEVOked icon, it just pops straight to the program. So I figured to install the Hboot driver manually. Still no luck detecting the phone....

"I've never installed HTC Sync on my PC,"-This is the root of your troubles. Unrevoked uses a Fastboot driver of its own, and another driver from HTC.
So,
First install HTC completely.
Now uninstall HTC Sync program alone (keep the other two programs installed by HTC intact. Do not remove them).
Now boot device to fastboot (Back+Power) and install Unrevoked driver.
Now boot, and run unrevoked in Charge mode.

droidzone, thanks a lot! That did the trick. So now I have the little black ninja for Superuser Permissions.
Thing is, why can I still not transfer all apps onto the SD card? Apps2SD won't do it, and the Manage Applications under Settings won't either. I have to mention that when it said "Done" in the unrEVOked screen after a few minutes of rooting, the phone was left in the Bootloader screen and won't turn off, so what I did was I removed the battery and powered it back on to the normal screen.
What might've gone wrong?

Nothing went wrong. Get an a2sd+ based custom Rom for better transfer of apps. I recommend miui, auraxtsense and leedroid.

Second this. LeeDroid is pretty much standard Sense with A2SD+ a few apps thrown in (Titanium is useful on a rom) and nice mods like wake using trackpad. Its a nice introduction to custom roms.

The closest to stock is teppic74's rooted Rom which is the Rom kitchen applied on stock Rom without modifications but adding rooting and options as addons.
Both leedroid and auraxtsense are pretty much similar and based on stock, but modded. Miui is the easiest and most beautiful of the non hd roms. Choose your pick whichever you like. Just do a nandroid backup from clockworkmod before applying each Rom and you can choose whichever you like.

First, how do I do a nandroid backup from ClockworkMod?
Second, how do CyanogenMod and MoDaCo ROM measure up against LeeDroid and the others mentioned above? I'm only interested in having a ROM that transfers all apps to the SD Card, as well as the ability to undervolt and conserve battery (w/out sacrificing speed).

About S-OFF
One more thing: What is S-OFF and do I need it? My phone is S-ON. Is Alpharev 1.8 the best program for it?
For reference, my full phone details are as follows:
Android ver. 2.2
Baseband ver. 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
Kernel ver. 2.6.32.15-gd96f2c0

Build no. 2.13.707.2 CL274424 release_keys
Software no. 2.13.707.2

MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
Radio 5.09.05.30_2
Aug. 10, 2010, 17:52:18
So if I need S-OFF, which do I do first? Flashing a custom ROM or S-OFF?
Thanks for your time.

Thanks guys. What about MoDaCo ROM? How does it measure up against LeeDroid and the others? I'm primarily looking for a ROM that will accomodate well stuff like SetCPU.
My main aim is to undervolt without sacrificing processor speed, as well as to conserve battery power, in addition to moving apps to SD card.
Again, thanks!

Desire root question ?

Hi,
soon, I will get my ordered HTC Desire from Amazon Germany. Hope it's not a Desire with Hboot Version > 0.92. Amazon descriped it as an Android 2.1 version. Is it possible that Android 2.1 comes with a non rootable bootloader > 0.93, worst case version 1.06 ?
For example. Hope I will get a Desire with a 0.92 Hboot and root it successfully, what will happen when the phone is rebooting. Is it updating automatically to Android 2.2 after it get connected and maybe lost the root access. Have read about this in some boards.
I think I have to flash a custom rom after rooting the device before I go online? Maybe these questions are stupid but I need to know the right steps to get the full potential out of my new phone.
Which custom rom is preferable? LeeDrOiD V3.0.2, CyanogenMod-7 ..?
Thank you in advance

I got a Desire with HBOOT 0.93, I can assure you it is completely rootable, I rooted with unrEVOked and the 1st ROM I tried was StarBurst, very awesome ROM.
I assume you want a gingerbread ROM, thus your asking for a deciding factor between CyanogenMod7 Or LeeDrOid 3.0.2, my advice is this if you like Sense UI, LeeDrOid if you don’t CyanogenMod7.
Check out Desire Android Development and check out the other options available.
Hope This Helps

1.06? Where did that come from? As far as I'm aware at least the bootloader only goes up to 0.93.1 which is prob rootable and S-Offable. If you do have a stupid bootloader, just use an RUU then root but I doubt you will have to worry about it. You will be fine. All you need to do is you can update from Eclair to Froyo and then root, it does not matter at all. Also, when I got my phone with Eclair, it came with bootloader 0.80.
You are worrying for no reason. All you need is to just download Unrevoked, the lastest one (if that doesn't work get the previous version). Don't forget the drivers either if your on Windows

1.06 bootloaders are only on CDMA Desires, not GSM. So far, all GSM Desires are rootable.

Is there a way to root with a 1.06 bootloader?

Not yet. Follow Unrevoked's site, they'll put up an update if possible.

That's my fear that I could get a Desire Phone from the stock that has this 1.06 bootloader. I read about it in some other forums that Desires are delivered with this newer bootloader, maybe htc did that to prevent (for a while) such rooting and flashing custom roms?
My Desire is on way now, hope I will get a rootable device tomorrow. As far as I know, I need to do the following
1. Unrevoke the Desire with linux or windows. I use linux.
2. Load a custom rom
How can I backup the entire image that comes out of the box before I start to root the desire ?
Regards

You don't need to worry to receive CMDA Desire with 1.06 unless you are from the USA If you are from Europe you should deffinitely be ok
And you don't need to backup too, you can later flash official RUUs, the original Desire firmware...you can however use the nandroid backup once you root your phone, to backup your current rom if you deceide to test a new one

I'm relieved to hear that. I've only one question about the roms. I want to flash a fast and stable rom that don't need app2sd to move application to the sd card. I think it's integrated in rom version > 2.1 (froyo) ?

IMO, you shouldn't even be thinking about rooting until you know what you're doing. Sounds like you don't know a lot about Android at present so read a lot and ONLY ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU CAN'T FIND AN ANSWER. Chances are everything you will need to ask has already been answered
Just enjoy the phone first and worry about the rest later

I have the same HBoot and am rooted
You've not got full root or else it would be S-Off. Have you flashed a recovery? Easiest way to get a nandroid back up. Either AmonRa 2.0.1 or CWM 2.5.1.8 (I think, other earlier version don't work with your HBoot, and stay away from 3.0.0.5 for now). Then you need to alpharev to get S-Off. Troll the forum you can find all this info, but you do have to go cautiously with this HBoot, only specific methods work imo.
AmonRa 2.0.1 | PVT4 40000 S-Off Alpharev 1.8| HBoot 0.93.1000 | Radio 5.17.05.08 | LeeDroid 3.0.2 (A2SD) | HTC Desire A8181 | UOT Kitchen Mods

Hi ghalalb,
now, I successful restored the nandroid backup with the installed clockwork mod 2.5.0.7. Vol - and Powerbutton, switch to Recovery, then clockwork mod came up .. restore, reboot, ok.
The Desire is alive. Is it real rooted (or not ) ? Thats the question ? The supervisor icon is available. First, I saved the content from the original sd card with (clockwork mod an backups), then partitioned the card with gparted to 2,2 GB fat32, 1,5 ext4 and restored the content back to the fat32 partition.
What now ? Is it not possible to flash a custom rom like clock hd-v10 with the installed clockwork mod ? Do I need to change the clockwork mod with AmonRa 2.0.1 ? The nandroid backups are not compatible with the AmonRa tool !
If something goes wrong, a restore of the old clockwork mod backups is not possible. I don't know what I have to do now. I don't want to make a mistake that is not reversible.
Regards
Frank

Hi Frank
You seem to be confusing your self as you don’t really know much about what your getting your self into. If you root your device with unrEVOked it should by default install clockwork recovery, once this is installed you don’t need Amon RA as a recovery as clockwork does the same thing and it is merely a matter of preference. Clockwork recovery backups cant be restored with Amon RA and vice versa. I am using clockwork recovery and I flash a new ROM every 3 to 4 days just to try different things and to see which ROM does what I need it to do. I usually end up back on ReflexTSense as I feel this ROM suits my user needs.
You seem to be getting used to using recovery and flashing ROM’s, you can use clockwork to flash any ROM. You have partitioned your card correctly and for apps to SD so now all you need to do is flash a ROM.
I recommend you try AuraxTSense as a first ROM, its very stable and blazing fast.
After you download the ROM put it in the root of your SD, the root of you SD means, not in a folder just in the SD when you double click on the removeable disc/SD in my computer (don’t know what its called in linux) that is the root of the SD. Once that is does, reboot your device into recovery, make a nandroid backup of your current working ROM.
Then follow the steps
• Go to wipe data/factory reset – select using trackball and let it do its thing
• Go to install zip from sdcard – select using trackball
• Go to toggle signature verification – select using trackball – NOTE: on your screen it should say “Signature Check: Disabled – If its says enabled make sure it says Disabled
• Go to choose zip from sdcard – select using trackball
• Go to AuraxTSense – select using trackball
Now its going to install the ROM and once its done its going to bring you back to a screen that says “reboot system now” - select using trackball. Don’t worry about installing the latest radio as your phone came with it installed.
Your phone should reboot and the ROM will now install and this take 5 to 12 mins before its complete if not just be patient, you know it has been a success when you get the white hTC screen with the with the green hTC logo followed by a white hTC screen with green dots that says “hTC quietly brilliant” in black it will sit on that screen for a while and the screen will go dull. When it is done the screen with go bright and boot into Android.
I hope this helps you to get your 1st ROM installed and running, I’ll check back every now and again and post your progress as I am committing my self to help you through this.

i am also going to buy a Desire, i would like to root it. so any hboot or android version should i be aware of? what should i look out for?
i am new in android so pardon my noob question.

Every ROM has a requirement like hboot type, sdcard EXT type and size, etc. Make sure you check the requirements of each rom and download the right link.

1. every phone has an hboot its just a matter of what type of hboot you are using. You are probably on stock hboot. Check alpharev.nl to get an idea. You can check it by shutting down and then pressing and holding volume down button and power on your phone. It details should be on the upper left side of the screen
2. it will depend on the rom. Most of the time the rom would say "for stock hboot" or "cm7r2" hboot"
3. Search for SNQ. He makes Sense kernels.
via xda app

if you know what do you need for HBOOT, watch at this page for instructions alpharev.nl

Most Roms (particularly AOSP Roms) will fit on stock hboot.
Is your Desire GSM or CDMA? Only certain roms will work on CDMA phones.

[Q] Moving from a custom ROM to a stock ROM

Hi everyone !
I wanted for a while now to move to the stock ROM on my HTC Desire, and I looked a lot (like 2 weeks maybe more) into the forums but doubts remain so here I am. My question might sound a little bit stupid to you but I want to be sure before doing anything because I cannot afford to have a phone that does not work at the moment.
So, my phone is S-OFF, I am running the Runnymede AIO 5.0.3 ROM actually with this baseband 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27, and I have the 4ext Touch Recovery. I would like to use the RUU utility to move back to the stock RUU WWE 2.29.405.5 Radio 32.49.00.32U 5.11.05.27 so can I just do it normally by executing the RUU or should I perform any operation on the phone before proceding.
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Have a great day all !

Just save any data you might need becouse the RUU will trash everything but the SD.
To use the RUU you have to connect in HTC Sync mode.
You can also get the official Gingerbread HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade from htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads .
I used that for a long time without problems.
Runnymede ROMs on Desire hardware aren't a good idea imho, you should have tried something like Cyanogenmod 7.1.

I tried Cyanogenmod for a while and I enjoyed it, but I kind of missed the HTC Layer which may be handy for linking contacts for instance, and I also like the HTC mail client since I use an ActiveSync mail account along with a gMail account.
Anyway thanks a lot for your quick answer.

If I were u, I would backup my current rom first before using the RUU. Before running the RUU, make sure HTC Sync is installed and phone could detect it in your computer. (Use a goldcard if necessary when running the RUU. )

The official "devs only" 2.3 it's not unfinished.
HTC couldn't push it out as a normal update becouse it has vary little room for apps... but aside from that it is as good as the 2.2.

If you're s-off, you may need to fastboot flash the downgrade.img from Alpharev to allow the hboot to be overridden by the ruu
