Son of a.....
software # is 1.23.573.2
will help any way i can. really want wifi teether
So it's Android 2.1? I'm surprised. You should be able to root it if you downgrade to 1.21.405.2. If it has an SLCD screen it'll be tough though as you'll lose the screen for a while.
edit: Not a good idea after all.

Yea its 2.1 and SLCD Screen. I didnt know if it was safe to try anything since it uses a different radio hardware.

It will brick you trust me, don't try a GSM RUU
The current radios might not support it then. You might be out of luck.
What is the radio version at the moment?
Flashing a GSM (EDIT: ) HBOOT and/or radio on a CDMA phone (and vice-versa) is a big no-no.
MAYBE you can use a 2.1 LCD Android on your phone, it might not brick it but I don't guarantee it'll work.

I'm positive the current radios do not support it, being cdma and all. Downgrading with the ruu you suggested sure will turn his screen black..... for good.
However, there may be other ways. We do have some CDMA RUU's

Be really nice to have a backup or something though. I can just see this making me a nice expensive paperweight hah
I am guessing using some incredible software probley wont work, but its prob a little closer then a gsm desire. lease the incredible is cdma.
I don't think you'll have any luck with an RUU that supports your hardware, as it's most likely going to have a lower software number and so won't flash. It looks like your release has fixed whatever exploit unrevoked3 uses, or it has a different model number and is being rejected because of that.

Anyone know of any other places that might be working on something for a cdma desire?
this is the only reason I dont like being with a smaller carrier. Awesome service, but no developers.
Well, we, European and Asian users don't have a Cdma Desire, so the only way is to wait an US user to unroot it.
Anyone know anywere i can do some reading on the rooting proccess? I have a pretty strong background but no android experience. If so i can start playing around to see if i can.figure something out.

You could try the Unrevoked method.
I would try these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7563237&postcount=1
P.S. I'm very interested in this as I will be getting my CDMA Desire in a couple of months so I'll help anyway I can!

There are CDMA RUUs available but I'm not sure if they will work or not.
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Desire/
Alright guys,
I tried the Universal AndRoot with no luck.
This is a CDMA phone, so it looks like the GSM fixes are not working.
Post fixes here and I will try them. I am idling #droideris as well.
Lets do this!
Did you try unrevoked already? I think a few have and said it wouldn't work. Mr. X on PPCGeeks made a modified RUU but I'm not sure if it will work. You'd have to PM him to try it.
Thread Moved in Desire General.

Yes, I tried Unrevoked this morning and it said it was unsupported. Not sure where to go from here. I am going to mess with androot some more.
Anyone have suggestions?
EDIT: I tried running androot again, but when it got to "rooting" the phone restarted and went back to normal.
Someone has made some progress in rooting. Not sure if he needs some help but here is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769312
the cdma desire has been rooted, custom recovery and soff Unrevoked will be supporting it in their next release
Thanks for the update blitz, I have been working on it for a week now and haven't gotten very far - my exploit (similar to the EPIC) would return to # instead of $
Glad someone got it though!
This is exciting to hear someone is working on it. I just switched Sunday to USC from tmobile using a N1 that was rooted. Couldn't handle their crappy network any longer.
ok i was able to root a htc desire running froyo with s off. here is how i did it. i went to revolutionary.io its super complicated! but it works. i now have a htc desire cdma running hboot 1.06 that was said to be unrootable. if you have questions i am willing to help but i dont know how to get notifications of when people post on here. you have to email me at [email protected] that comes straight to my phone so i will get back to you as soon as i can. i tried for months to root. then pinpoint from unrevoked helped me so to pay back for all i have gotten from others i am willing to try to help you get rooted.... happy rooting
i have just been reading this guide to rooting my htc desire (original) and im not sure on this;
***This method only works for users with hboot 0.93 and lower. Sorry 1.06 users, but until unrevoked updates, your stuck on stock htc***
my desire is running on hboot 0.93.0001, does this mean i cant use this method.
You can use this method with your Desire.
0.93 hboot refers to your version actually.
many thanks mate, may have a go later after the IO

how to do?

Oh i dunno maybe if you put this question in the right place then yes it would be answers for you..
There is a Q&A section for you to put this question in don't waste developers time and mods time by putting your question here. you will get flamed just a fair warning I'm not mad just saying...
Dont think its possible Teppic74's downgrader wouldn't work on the ARA build, so doubt it will work like this.

You should had to ask this in your mind before flashing an RUU that contain an hboot update!
Go to www.shipped-roms.com and find the froyo RUU and flash it, it should downgrade your hboot and you should be able to root again. If you have a branded desire you’re going to need goldcard.
I you dont know how to Flash a RUU use the search function

It's reported to not work! The new hboot does not allow to flash an older hboot.
An S-off could have protected him. Have you tried the new AlpharevX to try and S-Off ur device? If it works, you can reverse the process later.

Try their irc channel as well. It could be a 'soft' incompatibility, wherein they've disabled it because they havent yet tested it.
Is there no other rootable rom of the same hboot?

My downgrade tool almost certainly won't work on this. However, if someone manages to root this version, there's a good chance it will.

Paul Obrien did. Someone might ask him how to
he also flashed the hboot that came with the update.

If I not wrong, was a temp root anyway. But if Paul flashed the new hboot, this is a good news for those that flashed it too. He will of course find the way to change rom

I agree as well, but in the meantime there possibly are a few thousand Desire users who want this problem solved. Another possibility is that people who waited for the GB-update want to root after this disappointing update. They also might be potential donators (including me), so please get root for the official GB-update up and running!
Thanks in advance!
Hello mates, i'm having the same issue, just want to downgrade back to froyo and i can't do it because of the hboot . i've tried with unrewoked, went to shipped roms but nothing succeded.. can you please, tell me if someone managed to fix it ? thanks.
I know its frustrating but you will probably have to wait, keep an eye on the Desire Android Development section, I'm sure when theres a fix the devs will post it up there for you

Do you have the correct drivers installed on the pc? They are installed with htc sync. Or did the ruu give a soecific error.
I thought I had the drivers but I don't actually have sync installed. Should I do that? It gives me an unknown error and just stops.

Yes install htc sync and that will install the drivers you need. Hopefully it will work then. What hboot version are you on now?
1.07.0000

Oh if you were on 1.07 you could have just skipped the ruu part of the htcdev instructions, as 1.07 is already able to be unlocked. However 1.02 is unlockable too.
ah, we now i'm unlocked... i've downloaded all this ****, recovery and unrevoked and oneclick cuz it worked on my desire... what works best? I think i S-OFF with unrevoked if i remember correctly. and root with one click if it works.
i have the Rezound, so i haven't used this stuff in quite some time

Hmm not sure, never had any issues with unlocking. Mabey you didnt get all the characters when copying and pasting to the htcdev site.
i used it to unlock already... then realized i had to flash the froyo ruu, which i did
and that's where im at now... i can't re-push the unlock code for some reason...
edit: maybe it's because i deleted HTC sync... err.. lol lemme try that

So right now your on froyo and still s-on? If so skip that step and move on to using unrevoked to root and get s-off. Being unkocked really isnt needed once your s-off, just needed to get to froyo to get s-off.
so, it doesn't matter if my bootloader is locked? as long as i'm on 1.02 hboot and froyo?
edit: and yes, i'm on froyo, with a locked bootloader, and no root

As long as your on froyo you can use unrevoked to root and get s-off. Getting s-off gives you all the same things as being unlocked plus more. So as long as you get s-off there is no need to be unlocked.

Do i need to get back to hboot 1.07 or 1.06? i saw in some CM7 thread where it was recommended that i use .92

I cant recommend one right off hand, but it would probably be best to take a stock rom, and remove the apps you dont need and dissble the radio if your not using it for calls.
