[Q] Can not complete root :(

Hello All
Having tried to do all my research before getting my new desire, which came today i was quite confident that rooting would go smoothly. How wrong i was..
The Problem is...
I have changed the hboot as you have to with unrevoked and also changed the recovery image as my phone is the slcd version (0.83). However when running unrevoked, and having now completed the 4th attempt, Unrevoked continuously stops an waiting for 5 second after the recovery image is being put on.
Somebody please help, i have gone through the forum and can not seem to find what can help me overcome this problem
Thank you
David

From what I gathered in the unrevoked thread, slcd is not fully supported, might take a few days. Are you sure you have the latest version?
There is another thread (or 2,3,4) in development about slcd and rooting, did you read them?

Download a Ubuntu live cd. Boot up.in it and use unrevoked in Linux.
http://rootmydroid.co.uk/guides/desire/howtolinux-root-your-desire-using-unrevoked-in-linux/
That method worked sweet for me.
For whatever reason unrevoked on windows wasn't as easy as Linux.

Clockwork supports slcd now.

Thanks guys, all is sorted now. I just ran unrevoked without a custom recovery image and everything worked out. Took nearly have a day but i got there.
Now struggling with the partition in clockworkmod, as soon as i select partition sd in rom manager it reboots and goes straight to an exclamation mark in a white triangle and an android bot just below it.
How would i overcome this?

I followed the instructions from the link about when i get to step 5. I get a few erros but i continue as it says. When I finally get into recovery..(black background with green wording) i make my nandriod backup. then i go and do a full wipe. when i got to flash my rom it goes all the way through and errors out at the end. this is the error i get
assert failed write_raw_image
Installation aborts because of "Status 7

Im not looking to root just want to restore my phone. Can someone please help me?

Try to download and install an official RUU then. Pick the build version that matched the build of your phone before you tried rooting....assuming it might be 3.30.651.3?? since your HBOOT is 2.02.
Supersonic Shipped ROMs
EDIT: You followed the steps in post 1 of that root method thread right? I didn't see it mention anything about continuing if you encountered errors?? But if you said you wiped the phone and the ROM didn't load properly, then you prob don't have a ROM installed and encountered errors during root...you might also not be NAND unlocked. So if you can run the RUU, it should put you back to stock.

i have tried the ruu and it keeps saying my bat is less then %30 when its not.

[Q] Unrevoked3 help

I tried searching for this but to no avail.. if some one here has better searchfu than me just point me in the right direction but here is my problem.
Im using a 2.2 android HTC desire from O2 I was following the instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044 here to Root it. I installed the Hboot drivers fine and got Unrevoked working as far as i can tell.
I launch it and it goes through the entire process of restarting my phone into Hboot and then restarting again and stabilising then It starts to root.. says sucess then quickly changes to say "Internal Error: failed to unlock NAND flash?"
It then stops there restarts the phone and has had no effect at all..
Any help will be wonderful
Pete

I think you would have much better luck posting this in the HTC Desire forums, seeing as that is the device you have.
EDIT: i know that they are basically the same phone, but it may be something specific to the Desire.

unable to unrevoke :-(

Hi peeps, just got through a saga of rooting/flashing my Desire HD, so turned my attention to what I thought was the easier task of rooting a Wildfire.
I've installed/uninstalled HTC-Sync , I've installed the hacked USB andriod drivers, I've set the phone up ready in USB root debugging mode etc....
...but when running unrevoked it seems to go through the motions correctly ...but it never completes. The phone just reboots very slowly and the unrevoked app just sits hanging there saying 'its safe to restart if this doesn't work'.
But when I do my little test of running titanium back-up, no root access given :-(
are there any alternative methods to root which don't involve unrevoked. Such as creating a goldcard like with my DHD?

You need to get s-off with revolutionary, take a look at the reference guide(It's sticky). Sry I can't link it coz I'm on my phone

You should find everything you need in here. Guides and links to Revolutionary etc.......

...tried the 'revolutionary' (http://revolutionary.io/) appliaction.
It connected to my buzz and said "HBOOT 1.01.0002 not supported at this time"
does this draw anyone close to understanding what wrong?

Hey mate.. I hope these links below help you out because I spent countless hours searching all over the place just to need these 2 links..
Apparently the HBoot you have on ur device needs to be downgraded as that one isn't flashable or somthing.. so check these links out and hope it helps you! I was able to fully debrand my phone with these links

[Q] Unrevoked 3 program get”s stuck at "Waiting for root...

Unrevoked 3 program gets stuck at "Waiting for root...”
I have been trying to root my device for last 3 days .I have done enough research and gone through various forms .
Following the guide ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035 ) successfully got my device S-OFF using Revolutionary .
In step 2 : according to guide downloaded and tried
“RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3 .35.15.31_release_130814_signed_2”
Got stucked with non-working touchscreen.
Again downloaded and tried “RUU_Buzz_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.24.707.1_Radio_13.5 5.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_161113_signed”
Now touchscreen is working but it is showing android 2.2.1 again .So what's the point of downgrading ?
Run Unrevoked and it is unable to gaining root.
It shows :
Running preboot seq….
Waiting for reboot…..
Running root…
Waiting for root…..( I have waited for 20 mints but it keeps saying this)
[ USB debugging is enabled
Usb drivers are installed
Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone. ]
After all this mind boggling i have reached here :
Android 2.2.1
Revolutionary
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.01.1002
MI CROP-0622
RADIO 3.35.20.10
Should I use different version of unrevoked ? 3.31 ? here..( http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/20/how...evoked-method/ )
But again in guide “androidybloidy” says in step 3 :”Download the test version of unrevoked (here). Let me repeat, DO NOT USE UNREVOKED 3.32 as it will lead to CID errors or to be precise this error
"Validation error, backup CID is missing".”
What to do now ? Do I need to downgrade to 2.1 éclair to use revoked ? Do I need to download Éclair RUU for India ? If “yes” where can I get the download link ? Some forums say I don’t need to if I have already got S-OFF.I am totally lost.
Now I feel like tearing my hair out.
Any ideas ? How can get around it?
Any help would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.
I wanted to try the method suggested by “3xeno” on #83
http://joel5121.blogspot.com/2011/06...-tutorial.html
but under “clockwork recovery” the link to “fastboot tool “ redirects to http://htcdev.com/ and there is no tool like “fastboot tool” on that page.Again the download link to “recovery for wildfire”in step 4 is broken.
What should I do ?
Should I follow this ? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1130044
Is there a way out ?

feel like throwing my HTC out the window:confused:

SOLVED
Finally installed ClockworkMod recovery and Rooted the device.

are you trying to put a custom rom on the phone or just root it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12188132&postcount=15 follow this guide to put a custom recovery on it, follow method 2.
now, if your going to flash a custom rom just do this from your new recovery and your new rom will have been pre rooted. (well, it should be ) if not then im pretty sure that there is a flashable superuser zip that will give you root once you`ve s-offed but i cant remember where i saw it but i think tht would be youe best bet without having to downgrade again.

how did you make it work cause im having the same problem
yeah if you said its working how did you make it work :was it using the non-test version or did u try something else

If you want to de-brand (downgrade Hboot from 1.01.0002 to 1.01.0001), root or flash I have a comprehensive guide to do that
It's in my sig

Hey dude,
How did u finally resolve that?
I'm stuck at "waiting for root" .
HTC wildfire.

I´ve used the unrevoked 3.32 and it worked perfectly.... Maybe you should give a try.
