[Q] Unable to use Unrevocked on my HTC Desire !

Hello,
I wanted to post in dedicated post in development section but I don't have enough message posted for that !
I'm trying to install a custom ROM on my Desire (non operator version, stock rom). So I rooted it with VISIONary+ and it looks to have succeeded. Then I installed RomManager to install Clockworkmod ! When I select Flash Clockworkmod in RomManager it states after few seconds that it downloaded it but not that it flashed it When I reboot with recovery mode I get the default android menu and not the one of Clockworkmod. What's wrong ?
I tried also with latest version of unrevocked but it hungs up at end stating "Root failed: perhaps your firmware is too recent !"
Here are all infos of my phone in Boot:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-031d

Hey I was facing similar issues few days back, use the RUU for your device to restore it to factory settings and then try unRevoked again.
also this is my post -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970566 hope this helps

To confirm, the 2.29.405.5 software is what was on your phone when you got it? If so, use unrEVOked 3.21 as this seems to work for most people (although I had no issues using 3.32 with the same version as you)

Yep I tried unRevoked with old version of amon_ra but no better luck, so I'm going to flash it to RUU and try again. Where should I find the RUU ? I just need to copy it at root of sd card and then in boot mode I select that file and that's it, right ?
Update: I found the link in forum with RUU for Desire Considering mine is an official HTC phone, not branded by any carrier, I should use one of these I suppose but which one :
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release
Update bis: these are all windows update programs so no way to use them for me as I run on Mac, and in Parallels on Mac, Desire doesn't appear as USB peripheral I can attach to Windows when it's in boot mode
Thanks,

Nope when I got it it was probably in Android 2.1 or 2.2 not sure and then I did the OTA update offered by HTC Latest one is few months away !

I had issues with the latest unrevoked and I was getting a failed message. When i removed my sd card everything goes well.
So give it a try without your sd card, who knows it might work for you too!
P.S I have the same HBOOT and android version with you.

Why are you usung unrevoked anyway? Since you are s-off you can easily flash a new recovery via fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
I don't think you can use unrevoked on an already rooted device - but not sure though.

Did you use Alpharev to S-Off?

no idea, I don't know how or why it's in S-Off mode ! I have no remember to have tweaked it in past !
Vincèn

Did you use Alpharev to S-Off?
When trying unrevoked, did you uncheck "disable security" (or similar) before hitting the button?
EDIT: Sry, I hit reply instead of edit.
It is really strange that you are S-Off. Maybe you are one of the few people having eng-bootloader from stock?
Probably runnung an RUU is your best bet.

Flash the 2.29.405.5 RUU and start again

oky so I reinstalled RUU 2.29.405.5 with success ! and then tried to run Unrevoked and it finishes with same error as previously (Backup CID is missing, I ran it without security Options !).
If I try to run UNrevoked with Amon_Ra 2, I get Failed to get root. Is your firmware too new ?
With Amon_Ra 0.93 same error about CID missing !
With Clockwork mod 2.5.0.7, same error about CID missing !
I'm desperated It looks like my phone can't be upgraded easily Any other ideas ?
Thanks for all,

@m33-snk do you mean to RUU it again, or unrEVOked it again?

Got it with that link I could not use your link for unrevoked 3.2 as I'm on Mac so I went with your link to extract misc.img, edit it with hex editor and replaced it in phone and then run Unrevoked latest release on it and worked straight That's too cool Now I need to download correct Cyanogen rom as it looks that the one for Bravo is not going on Desire I thought it was the correct one ! I'm waiting for Cyanogen website to come back to life as it's down from here for now
Thanks a lot Lothaen for your help

[Q] Upgrade HBOOT

Hi there
i have Hboot 0.80 And I want to S-OFF my phone!
alpharevx for HBOOT 1.01
what do i do?
Thanks all

It took me ages but probably because I took the long way round.
I think I formatted my SD card and made as gold card, then used the RUU tool in the Arabic RUU thread below this one.
That worked for me after a day of trial and error. I guess there is a quicker way. Search the forums I know alot of rooting guides have popped up since Alpha-Rev release.

Just go to Unrevoked.com, download their app and S-OFF+ROOT+Recovery install on your phone. HBOOT 0.80 is rootable, because it's the old version. You don't need Alpharev X.

It will not give S-OFF. Just a Custom Recovery and root. If you want S-OFF, you will have to go for AlphaRev X.

I did it by flashing RUU with Froyo (this update HBOOT) and next, I used alpharevx.

Thanks a lot
I'll download the froyo RUU and then write my result here.

try that it works for me...just select the applicable RUU to your region then your S-OFF!!!
I got HBOOT 1.02 after running RUU but when I run alpharevx it still got s-off.
Don't forget to install and uninstall HTC Sync so you won't encounter driver issues.
Then when your already s-off follow the instructions on the link below then that's it you got full control!!!

[Q] Upgrading HBOOT from 0.75, AlphaRev failed?

I recently bought a Desire (A8183) and it came with HBOOT 0.75.0000 and I am trying to get S-OFF on it. I tried using AlphaRev and it came up with an error in step 3. How do I overcome this?
The phone still works fine.

1st: Wrong topic, you should post it in Q&A.
2nd: Have you flashed any custom ROM??? If so, thats why you cannot S-OFF it, try any near-to-stock, froyo rooted rom and then try again, this will do the trick

Oops, wrong subforum, didn't realise.
Yes I'm running a custom ROM I'll try a Froyo-based ROM and see if that helps.
It's a shame that Revolutionary doesn't support this version of HBOOT, is there any way of 'tricking' Revolutionary to S-OFF the 0.75 HBOOT?

Moving to Q&A

You can always update bootloader... if you have a goldcard then put the attached file in the root of your sd-card, and then boot into bootloader and wait for it do do it's thing.. when it prompts you select yes. This will update your bootloader to version 0.93.1002
You shouldn't lose any data, but do make a backup of the ROM in recovery in case you get a bootloop.
Then run Revolutionary.

I downloaded the file and put it on the root sdcard... Bootloader seemed to just skip over the file though.
Do I need to change the text file in the zip to my CID or anything else? It doesn't like it

you need a goldcard, so it ignores the CID.. or actually.. what network are you on?
EDIT: Just noticed lol
Wait I'm downloading a Telstra RUU and I'll give you a new PB99IMG

try this. If not, then you can always use the RUU to do a full update, and then S-OFF and flash a custom ROM.

Thanks I'll give it a try.
I have four microSD cards at home and I've tried gold carding all of them... I don't know how successful I was cos I couldn't do what I wanted on the Desire HD

try the goldcard tutorial I posted.
Okay, well I'm gonna get to sleep now but I'll give you some advice before you go.
If you can't update the bootloader with that, I'd suggest backing up your ROM (if you havent done so already), flashing the RUU to bring it up to the latest bootloader version, and then using revolutionary.
Once you've S-OFF'd with revo. Use android flasher to flash recovery (Note: your backup will not work if you do not flash the same version of recovery) and then do a full wipe and flash a ROM of your choice.

Would you happen to know where I can get the original Telstra RUU from? I think that might be my best bet.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks - this looks like it worked now HBOOT 0.93.0001, running revolutionary now.
Is there any benefit in upgrading HBOOT at all? What does 1.02.0001 offer?

Hboot 1.xxxx is the stock hboot for gingerbread. So it offers you nothing. By flashing a hboot like cm7 (most roms fit in this hboot), you get much more space for installing apps, because its /data partition is much bigger.

[Q] Getting S-Off via flash of stock+root rom

Hi, I've been a lurker of these forums for a long time, ever since I had a Samsung T939. I've been able to manage things on my own by searching and reading and applying the helpful tips offered but this time I'm facing a wall.
I currently have my HTC Expresso running CyanogenMod 7.0.3-Slide. I tried the instructions for S-off using the resources by AlphaRev and I get that my HBOOT 1.0+ is not supported. One recommendation says to flash back to stock rom and re-root. I was wondering if I could just flash Stock Rom with Root Access found at theunlocker.com: How To: Root the HTC MyTouch Slide (Exploid Method) (Updated 01.26.11) with ROM Manager to go back to the stock rom with root access integrated and then try the s-off procedure again and Flash CM7 again.

To get S-off you need to have 0.52 h-boot, so you need to downgrade unless you had S-off before I think. There's a thread but I'm not sure if it works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277266

It doesn't work. I followed the instructions carefully and got the same result as the other person that tried. I guess I won't be able to use custom fonts and splash screens. Why do some Mytouch have different HBOOT then? Grrrr.

Use rev.alpharev.nl. Same lot who did revolutionary and Alpharev (hence the name). Still works as I tried it the other day. Doesn't work on the updated Hboot from HTCDev (1.03.0003)

Hi, is there a guide to do this for a noob?
I tried this and its not detecting the phone. Reading some guides online, im a little confused. They say you need to root it first, then do a nandroid backup, because it wont load the ROM otherwise. I thought that alpharev.nl rooted the phone too, but it seem not to be the case, its just s-off. Any help?

If it's not detecting your phone then the drivers are not installed correctly. This will not root your phone. This will S-off and install a custom recovery. Once a custom recovery is installed you can then do a Nandroid back up (for safety) and flash whatever suitable ROM you choose. If you want to stay on stock ROM but rooted you can flash superuser through recovery.
