[Q] Strange Unrooting Problems

I purchased my Desire back in June and as soon as i found out about rooting
i used the one click unrevoked 3 method. Due to it being unbranded i didnt need a gold card i simply did so. After which i had problems installing some roms and its become too difficult so ive decided to unroot it and use it as it was meant to be until i gain more knowledge.
My problem is no matter which RUU i use following the unlocker method nothing works. I continue to get the error that none of the RUUs are suitable for my phone.
I have looked through the other posts but couldnt find an answer that worked for me.
my radio is 32.44.00.32u_5.09.05.30_2
Im running AuraxTSense 7.6.1 Froyo FRF91 by NeoPhyTe
Can anyone help me?

Hi,
Is your Hboot 0.93 ?
try this RUU : http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
Enter bootloader (vol.dw+power), then plug the phone to USB and run the RUU it should work...
Have u installed HTC Sync again after using unrevoked?
U need the htc drivers installed

Have u tried LeeDroid?
Running stable and fast in my Desire, I rooted nd unrooted the phone twice, but every time i go back to unroot status i get bored, so root again, i think u should try another ROM first before unroot, try mine : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703
Download de ROM,
Install thru ROM Manager or directly thru Recovery, but remember to Wipe data before u install make a clean install, if u still experience any issues go back to Stock...

My Hboot is 0.93.0001
Ill try the RUU tomorrow when i have enough time at my disposal
Although ill try leedroid first just in case. Hopefully it works and is good enough
thanks for the help

Just curious, but did it work?

AlphaRev wont install

Hi all,
I have a rooted desire with a rooted stock 2.3 rom installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151765)
I have tried to install the alpharev hboot using both the livecd and the usb method, but I recieve a error "unary operator expected" on stage 3. the phone is fine after the process fails and still boots normally.
Is there another way of flashing alphrev? maybe using adb on fastboot?
Cheers
UPDATE: I think i may know why its not working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075113&highlight=alpharev

tru using revolutionary, a lot quicker and easier

On the revolutionary website I complete the required details. e.g. phone model, serial etc... but the drop down does not allow me select my hboot version of 0.80.0000, it only has 0.93.0001? any idea?

Is there a way of flashing alpharev using adb or cwm instead?
Ive tried serveral PC's now and all of them fail with the same error.
I've been through the xda forums and google and simply cant find a way of applying s-off.
The error I get is Unary operator expected on stage 3 of the alpha rev usb stick or livecd

update your phone with a newer RUU (NOT THE GINGERBREAD ONE!!!!!) and then S-OFF

[Q] HTC Desire 2.3.3(Ginge) Downgrade to 2.2 Foyo?

G'day peeps,
I really didnt want to post this. Ive scoured for hours and hours though and although Ive found lots of downgrade threads from Gingerbread to Froyo the reported Radio version is always different to mine. As is the software version.
So heres my predicament. I (stooopidly) upgraded to Gingerbread but want root access!
The only way I can see me being able to get root access is if a downgrade is possible?
Here's my phone report
HTC Desire (NOT HD)
Android Version 2.3.3
Baseband Version 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
Build Number 3.14.405.1 CL96875 release-keys
Software Number 3.14.405.1
I believe my Hboot to be 1.06 or something.
Do I have any chance at all? And if so where can I find some destructions?
Thanks guys

http://revolutionary.io

You can root gingerbread, go to revolutionary.io
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Thanks guys. I had actually bookmarked http://revolutionary.io as a possible.
Im very pleased, now I have performed an entire backup and flashed cyanogenmod v7 (stable)
Runs like a dream and vrey customisable too
Now Ive a few more questions?
I am interested in trying out a few more roms to find the "one" I think I could be happy with for a while.
Heres are the roms Im interested in:
Virtuous Unity v2.35.0
Uncommon Sense
Sense-o-Villain
and very interested in TwoPointTwo
However, Warm for example states I need to download radio/wiimax updates.
Other roms have similiar requirements. Like a CM7 Hboot rev2 etc.
I've tried to work our if its safe or not for me to instll any of these and as far as I can tell it isnt.
Thanks again for all the help

Unable to downgrade
I tried all methods of downgrading but there is no success. But I have successfully rooted my HTC Desire running 2.3.3 with revolutionary.io method + CWD + su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.
Is there anyone in this world downgraded Gingerbread to Froyo?? I also have the same radio version 5.17.05.23 , but whenever I try to downgrade it says "main version is older update failed".

what is the ruu that u used?
if u want a froyo rom, just flash a rom from the recovery
if u want go back to stock froyo (why u should do this? u need warranty?) then fastboot flash the bravo downgrader hboot from alpharev.nl then the froyo ruu

Teppic74's downgrader used to downgrade 2.2 to 2.1 regardless of Hboot. The only thing it needed was temp root which it did for you.
Obviously the exploit used to root Froyo no longer works in GB, but if it already has root, it may work.
Heres the thread.
Although there is some question about erase size 40,000 devices so I would keep an eye on this thread for information purposes rather than jum,ping in and breaking things

its reported to work millions of time..the bravo downgrader is a 0.93 hboot..and the last froyo ruu has the same hboot version...
anyway when u have s-off, with fastboot u can flash every hboot u wish (its not like the ruu, there is no check in fastboot flash command)

I tried that myself and it failed due wrong bootloader version.

mean u can't fastboot flash an older hboot over a new one? which were ur hboots?
the bravo downgrader hboot from alpharev doesn't have a downgrade protection, over that u can run every ruu to overwrite it, thats what aplharev say

I had the same problem, the only solution that worked for me was this:
1. do your backups
2. use revolutionary.io to S-OFF and CWM
2. get
Code:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
3. run it and let it downgrade the Android to 2.2
4. root using unrevoked 3 (not able to use external links yet, google it up)
Hope it will help

[Q] Failed to root Desire with Unrevoked3/Revolutionary (Stock 2.2 ROM)

Hi all,
I'm trying to root a HTC Desire, but having no succes with Unrevoked nor Revolutionary.
This phone has the following configuration:
HBOOT 0.93.0001
Radio 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Stock HTC ROM, version 2.29.405.5
Phone is plugged in as USB drive and with USB debugging enabled. I'm running Unrevoked and Revolutionary on Linux.
Unrevoked
Using Unrevoked 3.32, the process hangs on "Pushing Flasher...". Nothing happens for a long time, application has to be terminated. (When the phone is unplugged, Unrevoked will say "Failed pushing flasher".)
Update: also tried with Unrevoked 3.21 (some forum posts/blogs suggest this version for HTC Desire), but has the same effect.
Revolutionary
When the above turned out not to work after trying several times, I decided to try Revolutionary after reading some posts about it on this forum. I'm using version 0.4pre4. Revolutionary starts doing its work, then tries to reboot the device, but the phone doesn't go past the FASTBOOT screen (showing options BOOTLOADER, REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER and POWER DOWN). The phone's hardware buttons are locked. After the second try (see below), the buttons are operational, but Revolutionary reports "failed".

The strange thing is that I have rooted another HTC Desire phone with the exact same specifications some time ago using the exact same copy of Unrevoked3 with no problems.
Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong and what I can do to solve it?
Thanks!

with revolutionary did you install the fastboot drivers? read the documentation on the page and there is a link to them. Install the drivers and try again. Then all you gotta do is flash a custom recovery and you can flash away roms. just remember to backup.

Thanks for the message. I'm running the tool on Linux and understand from the documentation that it's self-contained on Linux and no additional drivers are needed. Right? As far as I know I've used both tools correctly.
Any other suggestions on either Unrevoked or Revolutionary are very welcome!

Try a clean sdcard which has only a fat 32 partition and use a stock ROM with no a2sd or Data2sd. Try revolutionary once again with this. Revolutionary does need drivers on windows..in fact their site hosts the driver. Of course Linux doesn't need it..if it fails, try another sdcard with only a fat 32 partition

[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" .
