[Q] Unprovoked does not work on 2.1

Hi
Unprovoked (latest version) tried on the MAC and PC does not root my HTC Desire running Android 2.1. I have tried everything possible and it just does not grant me root access to the phone.
What are my options, what other software can I try, to root the phone, preferably PC based.
Thanks

Thread moved to Q&A.

Good Lord, of course it doesn't. There is no rooting tool known as unprovoked.

Please, describe the problem that you are facing, what steps you have taken, etc.
Don't ask stupid questions (or ask questions stupidly) and expect anyone to be able to have a vision of your problem, diagnose it correctly AND help you solve it.

lol a classic typo, I was provoked using unrevoked hehe I wish I could change the subject title now, and of course meant unrevoked (sorry was too tired after trying it for many many hours) ... i know that many people have had success rooting their phones with this tool.
My phone got stuck in a reboot cycle after using unrevoked on 2.2, so I downgraded to 2.1-update1 and tried unrevoked again but the same problem happened and no root access. Then I took the battery out for a few minutes, powered it back on, and so far it's been stable, i.e. no reboots. This morning I also powered off and back on again and the phone has not rebooted. I just can't understand it.
Moving forward, is there another option, a different tool which I could use which can root Android 2.1.

Did you enable usb debugging?

Yes and selected default connection type to charge only.

Have you installed HtC Sync then removed it? Making sure the drivers are left on?

I tried on both the PC and MAC. The MAC does'nt require messing around with USB drivers.
On the PC, HTC sync was uninstalled with the drivers left installed ( unrevoked modified USB driver ) and then ran unrevoked.
So I now have HBOOT 0.83.0001 and Android 2.1.
I tried unprovoked once more today, and the phone is stuck in a reboot loop.
1.
I take out the battery, and the phone boots and then reboots once i see the multi-coloured HTC background and then goes into that infinite reboot cycle before I can make any changes.
2.
HBOOT is trying to find an image with a name similar to : PB99IMG.ZIP which it can't find so reboots in a loop until the battery in taken out and then returns to 1.

Won't Connect via usb, dosn't detect phone or computer ?!

My phone (HTC Desire) used to work fine (i have had it for nearly a year now) but now it has suddenly decided to not let me connect, sync or do anything over usb, none of my pcs detect it either.
I have tried a hard reset (no change) and i am wondering what I should do next?!?
Many Thanks
Josh
p.s Phone info in signature
EDIT: It just wont recognise anything via usb except charger and car dock :-S

as your phone seems not to be rooted, you should check wether the drivers are correctly installed if using ms windows...

The drivers are correctly installed, I just don't know what to do next ...

You should try rooting (with Unrevoked-it's kinda' easy) and after that installing a custom ROM ... and try then
Or you can try another PC and see if the sync is wirking there

the problem is that i cant root without the usb working!
I have tried multiple pcs...
also do you think that t-mobile will take it back and fix it? (its debranded no noticeable change except boot screen)

Sounds like u may be misc ****ed/usb bricked.
Does your sd card detect? if you mount it does it have qxdm files on it?

Try the gold card sollution ... maybe u'l succed
Ps.warranty is voided just when you root you phone as i know

Is it possible to make a goldcard without USB connection? Think the op's hboot is too recent.
I have the same problem as you, I've tried following, the thread below. You may have more luck.

[Q] USB Mount THing Wont Work

it charges via computer and all that but it wont mount the sd so i can copy/move files frokm computer

Which Rom are you using....some of them are having USB mounting issues....I know one of at least one cyanogenmod nightlies is having issues from putting mexdroid or whatever it was called on my phone so I assume some more of the nightlies have issues but that is just an assumption. So yea that would be my best guess.

Need to know what ROM you're using, and did it work before you made any changes or has it never worked?

its stock rom... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836042...i downloaded the odex

when you connect your phone to your computer, drag down the notificatiom bar and select use device as "disk drive". this will mount your phone as you wish as a storage drive which is what allows you to use third party programs like doubletwist. there is also other options like pc sync and charge only, which is what you are stuck on.

thats the problem...it wont show anything on the notificationbar as it is supposed to...is there other ways i can reinstall original rom??

Im using mexdroind! And on mine in Windows 7 it shows all the drivers but my phone pops up as a MTP device??? Why is tthat and how do i fix it?

I think it could be your USB Debugging Mode. Enable it on your mobile.

I also would lke more info on what MTP device is.... and how to install the driver for it... cause I am hoping that would be a work around to solve the usb mount problems on flippy125 kernel untill he releases a new one... btw you can flash a different kernel like pershoots and it should go away and work fine..(then flash back!) Lol
Or just mount usb via recovery...

Rooting problem with UnRevoked...

Hey guys i need help with rooting me Incredible... Im using unrevoked 3.32 but after my phone reboots i get a "Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try again."... ive tried using the other 8 usb ports i have and ive tried 2 other computers. but i get the same error. any help? is there another way to root than using Unrevoked?

Did you installed all the drivers before attempting unrevoked?
Sent from my OVO Community ROM using XDA Premium App

yes. i have all of the drivers installed. i dont know why this is giving me so much trouble though. when i was with AT&T i had the Aria and i used unrevoked the 1st time with no problems but now its just pissin me off... lol

You either have bad drivers or your usb cord is faulty.
Make sure if you have HTC sync un install that .

The standard HTC drivers, or the modified HTC drivers from unrEVOked? And yeah, definitely dump Sync if you installed that.

well i finally got past that but now its stuck at "Waiting for system to settle (might be a minute)..." its been 20 minutes...
i have the modified from unrevoked. and i never installed sync

If installed, remove dropbox.

i dont have anything installed other than the stock apps. i completely started from scratch to root.

Try a different USB port and/or cable. Also, If you're on a laptop make sure you're laptop is plugged in and you are using performance power settings. Kind of sounds like the port is going into sleep mode and the app can't pick it up because it sees the port shut off.

im using a desktop. ive tried all 8 usb ports on it plus two other desktops... still nothing.

You have admin rights on the machine? When you download the Unrevoked exploit, unzip it and single click and right mouse button the executable, properties, unblock if blocked.
And, when running the unblocked executable, if Vista or Win7, right click and run as administrator.

yes i have admin rights. im running XP

My only suggestion is if you still aren't properly rooted, try running unrevoked on a Mac. I rooted my Inc using a friend's Mac as I did not have to install drivers and it worked well. Is this an option for you?

not really.i dont know anyone that has a mac.

I did root my girl's HTC Desire about a month ago, and I couldn't get Unrevoked to run at all, just stuck @ Waiting for device... I installed the modified USB drivers from Unrevoked before hand, and that didn't work. I also installed the HTC Sync drivers, and after I did that, things worked. I had to use a different tool to root her phone, but maybe this is the issue?
I have seen where you can install HTC Sync, then uninstall just the program and leave the drivers.
I am rooting my friend's DInc tonight after work, I'll make note of the steps I use (it's been awhile!), and post back.

EDIT: WOOHOO!!! SUCCESS!! I had to uninstall and reinstall HTC Sync then uninstall it again

Good job bud! I was just looking to update you on the steps we took last night to root my buddy's DInc, but you got it! Welcome!

go to application, development, check mark to usb debugging before you connect the phone to the pc. the Unrevoked will let you know that your phone was connected.. if i did it anybody can do it because im kind of new to this. i did it to my htc evo, htc hero "with Superone Click" and droid incredible so far

[Q] Problem connecting to PC's

Hi guys, I can no longer connect my phone to a PC.
I've tried two different machines with no job.
I've also tried two different usb cables with no joy
I have upgraded to Leeroids Rom
USB debug is enabled.
The phone is charging when plugged in.
HTC Sync is installed, but I can't use as a disk drive or anything.
When I plugged it into this laptop for the first time, it installed all of the drivers but said
"Android phone - no driver found". So installed HTC sync which said it was installing the usb driver.
I'm totally trumped as device manager seems to think it's connected, but i'm not getting anywhere.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks,
Andy

have you tried with the USB Debug Disabled

Aha, just tried that and it made the PC install new drivers. But still no pop up on the device asking what I want to do. And HTC sync still doesn't find a device.

What rom are you using? I try going to setting connect to pc and un-check ask me every time I connect then set which ever you want as default after you set it up connect to the pc

I'm on Leedroid version 4, which is a very nice rom indeed!

I was on rcmix I had this problem so try the method above n. See if it works

Cheers mate,
I've tried every option in the list, and restarted both the desire Hd and the laptop.
No result yet

You have to mount the SD.
Sorry I don't know your rom (I'm with MIUI) but just connected the SD the phone is not as a "USB key".
Look in the setting to put your phone in "mass storage" or something like this.
Sure someone with a sense ROM can explain it.
Edit: if you have done the above:
Disconnect the usb from the phone, blow hard on the phone usb connector. It could be just some dust in it
Often happen to me... I mean to my phone!

Just change ur kernel as i said in anotheer topic its because of his keernel.u can download and flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050106

I have both this ROM and this problem. Has it been sorted yet?

Just flash a new kernel.
LeeDroid v4 ROM's packaged kernel had this problem of not detecting the USB connection. Try any other Sense kernel like LordMod's, Unity, RCMix or whichever one gets you better performance.
