I recently attempted to root my desire with unrevoked. It seemed to go well and i attempted to flash a custom rom. I made a nandroid back up too. However, now the device is stuck in boot loop and i can't flash another rom or restore from nandroid backup. I've tried pushing roms from fastboot, running the telstra RUU and nothi g has worked. The closest i have got to it working is on the bootloader, it automatically detects that i have Pb99DIAG.zip and tries to install that but says it cannot verify signature.
I have a pvt4 desire with hboot version 0.93.0001 if that is any help
I apologise if this has been posted before but i have been tring to get this fixed for ages Any help will be appreciated.
Why can't you flash another rom?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
I've tried heaps of roms and none of them seem to install. They all say the rom cannot be found or something.
What recovery do you use?
Also does the sd card mount if you try that in recovery? What does it say when you try to connect it to usb?

Did u integrate amonra-recovery in unrevoked before starting to root with it? Imo the standardrecovery in unrevoked, clockworkmod, does not work with pvt4- desires.

So you S-OFFed and then ran Telstra RUU ?
That is supposed to bring your phone to stock. Now you are S-ON or OFF ?
My phone is s-on. When i rooted it with unrevoked it didn't turn s-off. I tried that signature verify thing and it still won't work :S

Rooting and S-OFF-ing are two completely different things. You got confused.
You have to do them both in order to install certain ROMs.
Please check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
Which ROM do you wish to install ?
i want tog back to the telstra 2.2 rom. I have rooted my phone, but i can't do the s-off thing aith alpharev cause it won't turn on properly

be careful with this bootloader, it suppose your phone is a SLCD version.
To root it you may use unrevoked with the SLCD compatible recovery image.
Just check around!

If this doesnt work, try rooting under a ubuntu live cd.
HBOOT 0.92 is what I had after upgrading to the official FroYo ROM with my AMOLED Desire - just downgrade to HBOOT 0.80 and then use unrEVOked and it'll flash fine (first time I used it the other day, 20 mins all in from downgrade to new custom ROM)

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?

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?

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.

you do NOT need unrevoked. Forget it, delete it.
Flash recovery (look at my guide, or download 4EXT recovery updater from market).
Backup ROM
FULL wipe (delete every partition apart from sd-card)
flash a rom you want.
Easy.

Hi, i am wondering about changing to a stock rom on my brothers HTC desire.
I do not need root or custom rom on this phone right now, but maybe in the future.
It is an ICS custom rom on it today and HBOOT 0.93. With root and maybe S-OFF.
I am a little afriad to utdate/downgrade to stock rom because i have read several places that if the HBOOT updates to newer than 0.93 i will not be able to root the phone later.
But i read this was via OTA, I will be using HTC Sync for the update.
This will be my phone number 2 and i just want everything to work, newer rom functions is not that important.
I hope anyone will give me some help, becase this phone is WAY more difficult to root and customize than my SGS.
Thanks i advance

Don't worry, every hboot can be hacked. Only 1.03 is a little dodgy, but running an official update will give you at most 1.02 hboot that's easy to handle with revolutionary.

Thats nice to hear
I wonder if i perhaps should go for the pre rooted stock rom from this forum instead.
It should work just as nice as the stock HTC sync rom?

Also i am a little unsure about how important radio is.
I have a different radio on it today than the rom required.
A have read the noob proof guide but i didnt undersdtand how to flash the radio, can it be done in clockworkmod recovery?
On om my SGS all this can be done in either odin or clockworkmod, so i wonder if this can be done in CWM for the desire too, because it is already rooted and HBOOT'ed?
Many thanks.
radio can be flashed through CWM recovery but only v2.5.0.7 or older. best to flash it via fastboot commands. click adb & fastboot in my sig for a guide
heres a link for
latest radio

HEEELP!
I may have a big problem.
I found out that the phone was S-ON and followed the Noob proof guide using alpharev to S-OFF it.
The 2 first steps went fine but step number 3 will not start
On the computer i just says, "waiting for flashing to complete".
But it never starts on the phone.
It also say on the computer that if i turn of the phone now it will be bricked, i dont wanna brick it.
What should i do????!?
****. I waited for an hour like the noob proof guide said i should and the i pulled the plug.
But now my phone will not boot into android. Just goes straight to fastboot mode.
What are my choices now?
Run 2.3 ruu and then all from start.

2.3 RUU via HTC sync or via fastboot? Or via the lin from your signature?
Sorry for being noobish, i just havent gotten the hang of this HTC way of doing it yet
In my signature is only a way how to obtain it. When you download it, it's .exe file packed in zip archive. Unpack it and run from yout PC. Make sure you have HTC sync installed on your PC prior running ruu.

Thanks I managed to install the 2.3 RUU.
I think i will just keep it stock this way for a while until my brother wants it back.
It is nice to have a phone that just works without beeing tweaked
I have just bought 2 HTC Desire phones 2nd hand for my wife and myself. One was already rooted, with su access and Nikez-Lente-1.0.1b2-bravo rom running very stably.The other was unlocked but branded and with a stock sense rom (not sure if if was gingerbread or ics).
So I immediately set about "rooting" the stock phone. I used Revolutionary, got s-off and installed sandvold Beta_0.18.2.1. I then installed Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed and expected to get root/su access on the phone. It was only when I tried using a2sd tool that I found I didn't have root/su access. Since then I've put the phone back to RUU and tried using unrevoked to root, but it fails everytime with a message "do you have a newer firmware?" or something like that.
I've put 4EXTRecoveryUpdater touch recovery on, installed Nikez-Lente-1.0.1b2-bravo again, installed su again, still no access. I've tried Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed, still no joy. Nothing seems to be able to put this phone into su/root mode.
And the strange thing is, both phones are on hboot 6.93.1002. So why can I not root the other phone?
I've searched the net for 2 days now and can find nothing to help. All the guides for unrevoked make it look like the simplest thing in the world to do.
What do I need to do?
Check my sig, desire all things root, s-off using revolutionary. Theres a superuser zip file there, try flash that in recovery. Where did u get that superuser zip file?
