HTC Desire Unable to Root

Hey,
I've tried to root my Desire by I get stuck at the "Backup CID missing" error. I did google about and couldn't find much and some said that the error appears when I need a gold card. Thing is my Desire is a factory unlocked piece and last time round I never used a gold card.
Its back from repair and now it is giving me this issue.
Any help appreciated
Cheers

hey guys, I did that and made a gold card, unfortunately I hit a new error.
"Error. Failed to get root. is your firmware too new?" please advice
I read up couple of links again all say to do a factory reset, anyway to do it without?
Cheers

What version of hboot are you running? It might need a downgrade perhaps.

I'm not sure although I'm running the latest OTA 2.29.405.5

Anyone? Much appreciated

I had this problem initially on my SLCD desire 0.93 hboot.
The reason is that it need a custom root file to loaded through unlocker. This is available through XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9245153]
recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5.1-0.93.rar
after this it rooted perfectly
regards

Go through this process if all else fails for you.
1. Make a goldcard (google it so you dont have to mess with hex anymore).
2. If your phone isnt branded download the latest ruu (or earlier if you want a lower hboot, but that doesn't matter anymore).
2a. If your phone is branded, find the ruu for your carrier.
3. Optional - if you are rooted, then nandroid, if not, back up apps etc if you want them.
4. Install HTC Sync (for drivers).
5. Put your phone in to fastboot (power + back button).
6. Connect USB and run ruu.
7. Once all that's done, select usb debugging and run unrevoked.
Worked for my messed up Desire!
- If step 6 is giving you hassle, go to device manager, find android and select drivers from a list, there should only be one or two extra.

oh well, comes down to formatting the phone, i'll give it a shot.. thank you very much

PS: Thanks everyone who took their time to post and help me

Pls refer to this page , sorry for my poor english.
连接手机和电脑，打开CMD（开始->运行->输入CMD，回车）
这里我一不小心，用了cygwin，所以显示上和你的会不太一样，没影响，仅仅是显示不太一样而已
输入：adb shell（确定你装好了adb，不过，你能遇到这个问题，应该就是装了吧）
然后
输入命令：/system/__unrevoked_su（使用unrevoked传至手机中的东东来获取root执行权限）
输入：cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 >/sdcard/misc.img（将misc分区镜像导出到sd卡上的misc.img文件中，强调一次，cat后面是有一个空格的！）
输入：getprop ro.cid（获取正确的CID号）
上一命令会有一个返回值：11111111（这个仅作为举例，请记下你获取到的值）
输入：exit（退出root）
输入：exit（退出adb shell）
输入：adb pull /sdcard/misc.img（将misc.img文件复制到CMD执行路径下，例如图中是Kitchen这个文件夹中，手动复制亦可，自由变通）
第一步完成了（这个时候没必要把CMD关了，待会还要用的）
现在打开一个十六进制编辑器，我用的winhex（提示镜像文件为磁盘时，选择否）
从0位置开始进行编辑。将上面获得的CID值写入，最后一位以00填充作为结束，如下图
然后就是要把这个misc.img文件重新刷回手机了。
输入：adb push misc.img /sdcard/new-misc.img（将该好的misc.img传到SD卡中，命名为new-misc.img，手动复制亦可，自由变通）
输入：adb shell
输入：/system/__unrevoked_su
输入：/data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/new-misc.img（将修改过的misc.img文件重新刷回手机）
输入：exit
输入：exit
然后现在再按照unrevoked的使用方法再来一遍，不出意外的话，一切OK了。
其实以上总结一下，很简单：从手机中将misc分区镜像弄出来，并获得正确的CID号，然后写入得到的镜像文件中，刷回。搞定

Try this version of unrEVOked:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/dd5yh9

As I mentioned above in Chinese
1. Pull out the misc partition to a misc.img
2. Write the correct CID into this misc.img file
3. flash back
You can traslate the Chinese into English with google traslate

Try unrevoked version 3.21 seems to work fine

[27-08]Root for the HTC Desire[.(HBOOT 1.02.0001)

THIS IS MY FIRST TUTORIAL SO MAYBE ITS BAD PLEASE DON'T FLAME
Maybe some of you guys have updated your HTC Desire rom and upgraded you HBOOT To 1.02.blabla that was dumb because you where to be unable to root it... Now this problem solved by a Team namely Revolutionary! credits at the bottom so lets get started!
Step 1: Go to the website of revolutionary cant add a link because i am new Just google Revolutionary
Step 2: Scroll to the bottom and Click download for Linux or Windows (depends which platform you have)
Step 3: If you have started the download then there will be appear a box; fill in that box you information like this:The image is in the attachment
Ok that serial number is fake tog get you real serial number: Options/About Phone/Phone Identify and you will see Device Serial Number Type the same in the Revolutionary box and you will get a beta Key This is you Own Key Everyone gets a different one.
Step 4: Now Plug in you phone in to your computer and enable usb debugging.
Then Run the revolutionary.exe file and it will detect you phone.
And it will ask your beta key. enter it and it will root your phone install a custom recovery and s-off it.
Step 5: Click on the Thanks button
Done.

Open the zip, read META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script, and look what it does..it only add some files to ur system (it even remove it first, in case u already have an older version of those files)

Thanks mate.

Worked fine for me (HTC Desire) - painless in fact .... just as well, as unrevoked3 didn't
Took a few minutes to get S-OFF and CWM, then from there just a simple flash of the Superuser zip file.
Thanks

Which is the best method of rooting?
alpha-rev or unrevoked??

AlpharRev does not give you root. It gives you S-OFF. To get root, you need to use unrevoked (or Revolutionary + flashing superuser.zip afterwards).
Sent from Sandvold's ICS using Transparent XDA App

AlhpaRev and Unrevoked3 do not work on this HBOOT (HBOOT 1.02.0001). At least never worked on mine. Plus, there are much more steps to s-off the phone and root it using the older way (Alpharev and Unrevoked3).
For our HBOOT 1.02.0001 Revolutionary is really a bless. It worked perfect on mine and that only with few clicks (of course, provide PROPER information on the site to get a key). Getting SU access after installing the latest SU from recovery was piece of cake of course.
I got 3.0.7 (from the upper link of course, just delete the file so you can go to the upper directory to get a list of all SU versions).
I cannot say about older HBOOT or newer, but this Revolutionary tool is really the easiest and most simple way to S-Off your phone and get recovery, and from there to install SU is just few steps away (put the downloaded .zip file to SDcard and install from there ... cannot be easier).

Tried with my HTC Desire, but aftre step 4 I am getting the message "waiting for device" and unable to proceed. Please help!

Upgrade HBOOT 0.90, WFS Vodafone

Hi,
I've been trying to unlock the bootloader of my Wildfire S without success.
I have followed the process with HTCDev, downloading the HTC EUR, and finalyzing the installer without problems.
Once I get to the point to use fastboot command I get an error which I read is due to have the HBOOT 0.90
I have tried to manually take the rom.zip that the install process extracts in the temp folder and put it into the SD card. When I get to the bootloader, it starts processing but finishes with the message: <bootloader> bypassed
I have tried with other PF76IMG files from several threads and get the 'Main version is older: Update Failed'
I finally tried to extract the zip to modify the 'android-info.txt' file and write an upper version 2.26.161.1, but once zipped again the error dissapears but nothing happens (No message appears)
Could you please give me a hand with this? I have now the phone with no wifi, and unstable screen and I am getting desperate, :silly:
Thanks a lot in advance,
Hueso

You shouldn't have to upgrade HBOOT if you're on 0.90 ..
Is your phone still on 2.3.3 or have you upgraded OTA to 2.3.5 ?
-----------
"You can overclock as much as you want, your phone will always seem too slow."

Go to www.htcdev.com/bootloader select wildfire s in the drop down menu and follow the instructions there. You will have to create a account first.
Overview of the process:-
• upgrade your bootloader to an unlockable one.
• Get your identifier token
• Submit it to HTC and they will give you an unlock token by email.
• Flash it and unlock bootloader
All these steps are given in detail on the website.

I am already done those steps, but I am stuck in the second point. I have downloaded HTC Euro, finished the install of the RUU but got an error when using the fastboot command to get the token, I have read this is due to my 0.90 HBOOT version.

After running the RUU, you should have hboot 1.08.0099 or 1.09.0099. Are you sure sure the RUU was successful?

Thanks omnomnomkimiiee, hope you can help me identifying what it is.
When I got the rom from the RUU installer and tried to flash it from bootloader, I received the message:
<bootloader> bypassed
Radio is then flashed correctly. Could it be related?
Thanks again,
Hueso

Bootloader is being bypassed because you already have 0.90, I think.
Are you sure all the files you need for the token request are in the right folder ?
Are you typing exactly the same command ?
-----------
"You can overclock as much as you want, your phone will always seem too slow."

Could you confirm your bootloader version?

If you're still on hboot 0.90 there's no need for you to get unlocked, instead you can be S-OFF!
Some ruus which are old have two zips rom1 and rom2. If you've lash rom 1 it updates the radio and all. If you by then flash rom1 then you get s- off. It's an od trick, and I'm not sure which ruus they were.

Shouldn't I have been updated to 1.09.0099?
Yes, I have checked the 3 of them are on the same folder and I am writing the same command. I have succesfully flashed a HTC Sensation following the same steps, except the RUU process which is not needed two weeks ago.

Hi SomeDudeOnTheNet, I also tried with some other RUUs which have the two roms as you say, but when doing the manual flashing I got the main version older message. I will give it another try anyway to remember exactly what the problem was.

Follow the downgrade tutorial under important guides in the index. When you open the misc.img in the hex editor, just make it 0.0.0.0 that will fix all 'main version is older' errors.

[Q] ROOT with stock 2.3.5

I have the HTC DHD and I just want root access on my current ROM. I'm running the stock Sense 3.0 Android 2.3.5. I have considered using the aahk for this job but I think there is no way to backup my current ROM before downgrading. I will be flashing other ROMs once I have root so i need a S-OFF as well. I just need a copy of my current ROM because my phone is still under warranty and I want to have the ability to unroot it and return it to it's former state if I ever need to. I know that the aahk is the way to go, I just don't know how to make the backup of my current ROM before the downgrade.

Wht version of the rom do u have. Plus if u just want to backup ur rom for warranty or returning to stock, u can do tht by running stock RUU on your phone but i am not sure if u can find specific carrier roms but as for WWE(worldwide edition) i am sure u can.

On the phone under "Software number" it says 3.12.405.1. In the efffen manual the only ROM with that number is HTC WWE Europe 3.12.405.1 . Is that the same ROM? If it is, also in the efffen manual it says that it downgrades HTC WWE Europe 3.12.405.1 to HTC WWE EU GB 2.50.405.2...
That is exactly why I want to do the backup before I downgrade.
Do you need to know what carrier I'm on to help me or is the ROM number enough?

No I thinks it's ok. Use apps from market to backup stuff like sms/mms, contacts before rooting.

Since you need to downgrade from your current version to root your phone, I'm not aware of a way to back up your current app data or system settings. You can back up your apps, though, with Titanium Backup or something similar.

Yeah, you are spamming here. That is not the question I have asked... Look it up on the efffen manual and other Q&As. If that doesn't help make your own question. Hope you find your answer soon.

I see what you are asking now. I believe it comes with a WWE RUU, so no, it is not.

So I basically have to find the HTC WWE Europe 3.12.405.1 RUU on the net to regain my warranty if I ever need it?

I'm not sure how warranties work (mine is long out of warranty), but yes, if you need to have the same build version on the phone as when you got it, you will need to find your original RUU.

Ok, do you know any sites where I could download my RUU or can you post a link with my specific RUU?

There's a stickied index thread at the top of the DHD Development forums. I'd start there.

Wait a minute, you're already S-OFF. You're already rooted. What is it you want to do?

[Q] Back to stock

Hi,
after i have bought my new HTC One mini 2 i would like to go with my Desire back to the beginning.
I searched here and also on other sites for the best and simplest way. Most sites say to use the RUU.exe but i couldn't find it here http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads.
But than i found this post here on XDA that tells me not to use RUUs.
So what is the best way for me??
I want the stock ROM with no tweaks no a2sd, just the way it was when i bought it. I don't care weather there is root/s-off or not. I wanted to use my nandroid backup but it was made with an other Recovery and i don't know how to get back to it.
So in the best case i have my desire just the way it was after i rooted it. (with the stock rom from HTC but with recovery and root permission

To get complete stock then u need to use an ruu. So if ur s-on, relock ur bootloader
fastboot oem lock
Then run the ruu.
S-off, then make sure ur on stock hboot then flash the Alpharev downgrade.img then run the ruu. To get the correct ruu, google "shipped roms" then find ur device (bravo).
Or if u want it stock but rooted then look at development thread for stock roms and flash it in recovery.
If u want to restore ur old nandroid then id say u cant because u made the nandroid with different recovery. So im guessing that ur using 4ext recovery now? And im guessing when u rooted for the first time u used CWM recovery? So if thats the case, flash CWM recovery then restore nandroid.

Your descriptions are conflicting.
If you want it the way you bought it (fully stock, S-ON etc), then RUU is the proper, easiest way.
If you restore any kind of nandroid backup, then it will be rooted with whatever A2SD it had at the time, i.e. this is the way you bought it...

I thought these commands only work on Nexus devices? I've never needed to use them on the Desire anyway.
Even if the desire is S-ON, the 2.3.3 GB RUU should run without issue.
@HandyBesitzer
There's a whole troubleshooting guide stickied the top of Q&A dedicated to all of this. Follow it to the letter for your particular situation. Find and flash the 2.3.3 GB RUU

I always thought that when ur htc dev unlocked bootloader, then u need to relock the bootloader. I always had s-off so never tried it with the desire but with s-on with htc desire s and sensation u need to relock the bootloader first or ruu wont run, just thought it would be the same with the desire.

Guess so, depends on how / if OP unlocked the bootloader
- If it's dev unlocked, then those commands will likely apply then
- If he's S-ON, he could still have rooted with original unrevoked method for instance. I don't believe those fastboot commands wouldn't apply, RUU would work straight over the top
- If it's revoluationary / alpharev S-OFF, downgrader instructions as you said

Forgot bout the old unrevoked method

Black screen
Hi, I have a Desire. I used Alpharev to get S-On to install a RUU. The RUU has been installed, when it restarted the screen remained black. The phone starts,the buttons are lighted but the screen is black.
It seems to be a software problem.
Can anyone help me?

You flashed the wrong RUU
You flashed an SLCD RUU which is meant for an AMOLED device, or the other way around. In other words, it's incompatible with your screen type, which is why your screen remains black.
Look at bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of Q&A, it covers this. You will need to use the 2.3.3 GB RUU as outlined above.

wasn't 2.2.2 the latest Version for Desire??
first to clear what i did to get the s-off, root,...
I used unrevoke to get s-off, so HTC does not know what i did to my phone
I also installed a new hboot a while ago, but i think i went back to the old. SO do i need the downgrade there??
About my first recovery it was Amonra, because cwm did not work for me first. Now i have the 4ext. It's simply the best
Also it is possible i updated my radio i don't know but i think i did it. Is that a problem??
I'm in my fastboot now and see this:
--- AlphaRev ---
Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
Microp-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27

So the RUU flashed successfully, it boots into the stock ROM, but you can't navigate the screen? Do the hardware buttons work? Does it react at all?
Still recommend to use the 2.3.3 GB RUU. Even guy above with one post managed to follow the given instructions first time, find it and flash it successfully

No, neither of those. I believe those are Froyo RUUs...try / start here instead
Forget about the radio, should flash with the RUU.
Are you actually following the instructions here and the troubleshooting guide as advised to flash the RUU...?

Thanks for the link. But the download does not start for me. I only get the License and i cannot confirme it.
About the trouble shotting. it starts with problems when the smartphone has this black screen with !, but i even did not get this screen. I'll read the whole thread here again, and try to get the download working.
The disclaimer tell me that i cannot send sms or mms and you recomment this version to me????
