Looking to root friends desire - unrevoked...

Hi, i've been looking around to help my friend with his new desire,
I would like to see if this works, according to my research...
If I ran the phone through unrevoked, would this root the phone?
And in turn, let us install rom manager + clockwork mod?
I don't have much experience around here as I am still looking about rooting my nexus
Hope you can help

Details needed.
Bootloader info, phone info...

I'm gonna have to ask about the bootloader info, but it is currently running stock (latest) which I think is 2.2?
EDIT: How do you get into the bootloader? Is it power+ volume down?

Yes.

If its running 2.2, chances are very high that you can root it with unrevoked. Make sure the hBOOT version is 0.93.xxxx

If its the same as mine, yes unrevoked will do. However, i was having issues with CwM before so now im using amon ra recovery.just a heads up

Ye, thats right, I just found out that it is 0.93
So my plan on my original post will work?
EDIT: Do we need S-off? And how does this affect the phone?

It will work. As long as the drivers required are properly installed. And you don't need s-off unless you are planning to change the boot partitions (eg. Change from Stock hBOOT to CM7r2 hBOOT to get more space for apps)

If your still not 100% sure I don't think you should even try rooting your friends phone. You'll need the htc usb drivers installed on pc, make sure the htc sync apps is not installed.
Use unrevoked to root and install cwm recovery, from there you can install any of the great roms.

Please read the rooting faq in my signature. There's also a guide there which incorporates pre requisite information which (for some unknown reason) is missing from most other guides.
But read the faq too. It's not about blindly following steps. It's about understanding the process and what you are doing.

[Q] Bug in Revolution 3D & Hboot

Hello !
I report a bug in the custom rom RevolutioN 3D v1.5.
When I take photos, the phone freeze during the preview. I must remove the battery of my phone to resolve the problem.
Maybe the rom is not any updating, but it would be cool to resolve the problem, because this rom is really fast !
And I think I am in 0.93 version of HBoot.
How to change it ? With Android Flasher ? ...
Thanks =)

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

Ok no I'm just stupid.
No problem with the rom
It was a problem with my old Hboot, and i found how to change it.
You can delete this useless topic.

Hey bro! I tried to install this rom too but it isn't working for me. How did you do it?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Did you pass S-off your desire ?
It's a compulsory step for installing the roms
And for every rom you have to verify if you have the right radio and hboot. If not, you can flash it with AndroidFlasher for exemple.

Yea, I have S-OFF and how do I know if I have the right radio and hboot? I have HBOOT-6.93.1002 and Radio-5.1705.23

For the Hboot, it depends what version of rom you download.
A2SD+ or Data++
I think the second is better, but i'm not sure.

Okey, but the wierd thing is that now when I tried revolutioN(not 3d) again it works, but if I press the power button and lock the phone I can't unlock it because I just see the wallpaper and no unlock button :S. And I do not have a Market app or settings app which means (ofc) that I can't go to settings and I can't go to market. Do you know anyone I can ask about these kinds of problem?
Regards ThaBrazzer
Edit: And thank you for the links wit Hboot and radio! Will try them tomorrow
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

You can change the Hboot with AndroidFlasher here. (select Bootloader)
Connect your desire on "charge only" and flash
Maybe that's the reason of your problem.
And i know of nobody on this forum :s
indeed your problem is strange...

Yea, maybe that is the problem. Thank you for the help and links, I will try them tomorrow . I let you know if it works or not!
Thanks

Sorry, thought you are OP and replied to original problem. My bad!
You wrote, youn cannot install the rom. Please describe the steps you do in detail and where the installation stops.

Here is what I did: I downloaded the Rom revolutioN 2.0 and put it via my computer on my sd card. After that I used clock work to wipe everything and flash the Rom. The Rom got flashed and I entered my pin code. Then I pressed the power button to lock then phone, and then when I wanted to unlock it, no lockscreen appeared! Only a wallpaper. And then I restarted and wanted to check my settings, but I didn't have a settings app, so I went to the home screen and pressed menu > settings, but it said that "this is no longer available" or something like that. And I do not have a market app.

[Q] Want to root my Desire HD

Hi,
I am a proud owner of a HTC Desire HD mobile. It is on the mobile network Three (UK). When i power on the phone, i get a 3 welcome message. Does this mean my phone is branded?
I've been reading the how to guide on how to root the phone but i'm not 100% that i am able to root my phone. Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377119
Does it matter what version of android, sense, the baseband, kernel, build or software version i'm running?
Android Version: 2.3.3
Sense Version: 2.1
Baseband version: 12.56.60.25U_26.09.04.28_M2

I have a mate with a HTC Desire S who has basically inspired me to root my phone because of his HTC Sense version. He had basically made an image of his phone before he rooted. Does the phone have to be rooted before i can make an exact image of my phone first and does rooting cause the risk of bricking or does changing roms cause the risk of bricking? Is there a tutorial on how to do this on a HTC Desire HD? Or can someone point me in the right direction?

Go to the dev section and read up on the advanced ace hack kit. It should let you know what you need to know. And yes, I would say your phone is branded. You will need to make a gold card. Plenty of guides here @ xda

It says in the 'Effen Manual' that AAHK automatically create a gold card?

Nothing is certain, but if you follow the instructions nothing should go wrong.

Device = rooted! Now need to make a backup of my ROM!

Backing up should be quite simple. Just install CWM and head into the CWM Recovery and choose backup.

CWM is automaticaly installed by aahk. So just disable fastboot, tun off you phone and boot into recovery (volume - + power).

No issues what so ever mate.
When I found this method it was a god send, worked first time on my first attempt at rooting.
I have since flashed RUU's and revolutionary sticks around so no need to re-do this method.
Message me if u want a full guide

No..everything works fine for me.

I didn't have any problems, just read the instructions though

nope ! never had problems. let the revolutionary do its thing and your next step is flashing the rom you want..

No problems whatsoever, just get the right drivers, and do what it tells you to do.

No but i remember having to run through unrevoked again after flashing an RUU. Possibly to add root/SU app again as i think the RUU i used removed the super user ninja app. But Revolutionary stayed on the HBOOT screen. And unrevoked took like 2 mins to complete
make sure ur RUU is version 2.1 or lower in order to use unrevoked tho

No, at the end it will ask you if you want to root your phone as well, not a big deal

I had... because I installed a 2.2.1 froyo rom, and due to that, i was unable to reinstall newers rom versions. It kept the S-OFF, but kind off "broken". The problem was solved, using this tutorial! hope it will help U.

Which sense 4 ROM did you try?
I'm betting its one of those multi device Roms. You need to find the boot.img in a folder called "ACE"

Not really, I don't think. Apparently there is AAHK2 available, but I don't know much about it as I never needed it.
When I s-offed my desire HD I was htcdev unlocked already, I used the manual method to s-off which for me, wasn't hard with lots of previous experience with my HTC legend.
I don't consider myself a noob anymore (I am still learning though), but im not good enough to ever be a developer either, I'll leave that to the gifted elite.
I know there is quite a few guides in the dhd forums that are really good, I'd suggest you have a look yourself and decide appropriately according to your own knowledge and skill which is best for you.
