Hi,
Just got my first ever htc phone the htc desire locked on 3 (UK)
I was looking around and I am preparing to root the phone using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
It says however that your device must be hboot 0.93 or lower. I checked and it says my phone is 0.93.0001 is it still okay to use this guide to root it?
Also will rooting my phone unlock it or must the phone be unlocked to root it?
Thanks in advanced and sorry if this is a noob question.
Unrevoked 3 will work.
I have the exact same Hboot version, and I got a custom rom on it.(rooted, s-off, alpharev Hboot)

I just bought desire 1 weeks ago, My desire hboot is 0.93.0001, scld
I rooted my phone by unrevoked with recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5.1-0.93, and have flash a new rom.
But still s-on, i saw many treads about how to get s-off for 0.93 from chiese htcplayer forum, general methods are to downgrade 0.93 to 0.8x,
here i want to know if there is a simple method just like root with unrevoked, to get s off.
ps. i wanna clear that if root completely must include s -off

Hi,
I've read a few similar threads here, but there is no answer for my case, so i dare to ask you.
Briefly:
HTC Desire, locked and branded by Orange UK,
Froyo 2.2 - offical /OTA?/
Rooted
Bravo PVT4 Ship s-off /now is off, after the root i manage to turn it off, originally it was on/
HBOOT 0.93.0001
Radio 5.10.05.30
MICROP - 051d
So, the other thing is that i bought just a phone and the seller didn't know is that phone is with SLCD display ot AMOLED.
I want to flash with Stock WWE ROM or some custome one. But in all of the instructions here for debranding and so on for the LOCKED/BRANDED Desire it is said "NOT working for 2.2 /OTA/"
Is there a way to manage my Desire to be a stock, non-branded and unlocked* phone?
*I've purchuased an unlock code, because the thread for the unlocking here just did not helped me at all.
Thank you in advance.
It will say whether its slcd or amoled on the box, if it doesnt mention amoled then its slcd
To debrand you need a gold card, follow a tutorial, or download gold card helper from the market.
Run this and get you mmc into a gold card, then run a generic RUU and wait for it to install, this will debrand your phone
For root use unrevoked google it,.if you get an error download version 3.21. This will give you s-off, so you can flash custom roms using recovery
Hope this helps
Regards
Vengeance
(any questions just ask il try to answer them best i can)

Hi, I rooted my branded orange slcd desire without a gold card.
1. install the htc sync tools then uninstall it - The drivers remain
2. Download the desire custom root file - available on XDA (use search)
3. Install unrevoked making sure usb debugging is enabled - click file and use the custom root file downloaded earlier
4. Connect your desire and let unlocker do its magic and your rooted.
you can S-off after this process but it is not necessary if your using a standard sense rom
Pick your rom of choice and install
use the debranding tool on xda

I have a HTC Desire Z from the Asia Middle East region with the following specs:
Android version:2.2
Kernal version:2.6.32.21-
Build Version and software version:1.83.415.2
Is there a way to get to CM7 i.e to downgrade/root this phone.
Thanks
Downgrade to 1.34, then root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
Pretty sure there are others here on the same ROM as you, that have done it this way successfully.
There's a couple ways to do it, the best way would be to follow the root method in the wiki using rage then get S-OFF with gfree.
Once you have rooted it, install Rom Manager and flash clockwork then download this zip and flash it to get a working Superuser.
Edit: You may have to downgrade to get S-OFF, I bought a NAM Desire Z and had to downgrade then flashed the ARA RUU.
Not able to downgrade
Thanks for guiding me
I followed the wiki guide correctly upto all the steps until....The downgrading part
And I am Stuck in the Downgrading process i.e Phone thinks the PC10IMG.Zip file is not a valid file in the boot loader menu and restarts to normal ,
Could this be due to this version(1.83)???
What do I do now!??
Do these details help:
VISION PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.85.0009
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.04.02.17
Did you make the gold card first?
Guide Here.
Anyways, it seems your Desire Z has a unique CID probably put on it by a manufacturer. All you have to do is make a gold card then you can downgrade with the gold card inside the phone.
My girlfriend hope to remove some build in unnecessary app.
so i try to root her wildfire s.
But problems appear.
I am able to unlock the phone: from unlock to lock.
but then my hboot version change from. 1.08 to 1.08.0999
and keeping s-on
then I can no longer s-off it anymore.... Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First of all welcome to xda!
And second of all.....if you don't have a CDMA version of the Wildfire S....You CANNOT S-OFF it with a software for now.....there is a hardware called XTC-Clip which can S-OFF the phone but its too costly(check here)
And BTW unlocking the bootloader is enough for rooting the phone
If you looked around a bit you could have found about 20 similar threads......if you are new it doesnt mean everyone is new......people will just freak out looking at this thread
So please search before posting
About s-off
Sorry about that, I do search for long time about root. But since my hboot version is 1.08999 I cannot flash any recovery into my phone as they are all for version 0.9. Other say My version : unlocked hboot 1.08999 s-on is already mean s-off but I cannot flash any recovery to the phone....=[
Hello everyone, i just got an old HTC Wildfire from my aunt and decided to root it and make it a useful secondary phone... the problem i ran into is the fact that it has HBOOT 0.80.0002.
I cant seem to figure out how to root it. I tried the full guide to rooting and de-branding but i got stuck first i tried to just use revolutionary, but that only supports hboot 1.01.0001 or something like that and then i tried to downgrade it (what u are supposed to do for 1.2.0002 hboot) but that didnt work either since i got stuck trying to create a goldcard image. Well i actually got the goldcard (found a functioning website online put in my CID and got the gold card, but the prtoblem was that i couldnt patch the mmc)
So anyone got any help for me? or a tip what tutorial i could try.
Phone info:
HTC Buzz (wildfire)
Hboot 0.80.0002
Radio 3.35.19.25
S-on
Firmware 2.1-update 1
Thanks for the help

If you run the unrevoked program it will root your phone with your current hboot. You could also consider working out your phones cid, (not the one from your goldcard) And then you could look for the correct update ruu. Upgrade to hboot 1.01.0001 and then use revolutionary and gain full s-off

Ok, unrewoked worked the second time around tried it before i posted here, but it stopped at pushing recovery image... i guess it must have been HTC sync (yeah forgot i had that instaled on this pc) when i uninstalled it as the software told me to it worked just fine. Rooted with CWM thanks for the help
Ok guys, is this even possible? I used Unrevoked and it worked nicely and got my phone rooted (super user) and CWM installed... but i still have S-ON... am i missing something here? should i flash something to get S-OFF or what? really confused right now...
Thanks.

Unrevoked never removed s-on, it used a root exploit to gain superuser access, install superuser and then flash a custom recovery. Revolutionary, which is a conjunction of team unrevoked and alpharev was the next step, after the upgrade to hboot 1.xx.xxxx unrevoked exploit no longer worked, so they found another I believe and forced a hacked bootloader into the phone, making it believe it was s-off even though the radio flag was still set to on confusing I know
so revolutionary s-off is from a patched hboot, and the xtc clip gives full radio s-off. The only real difference is that with xtc clip s-off you can remove SIM lock, but with the patched hboot you cannot, as the radio which houses the security (for all intents and purposes) is still set to on. The patched hboot just tells the hboot to ignore what the radio says and believe it is s-off all the time.
But before I ramble on you should be good to go with your hboot, but you may need to upgrade your recovery, in order to do this I believe you will need root and to flash the recovery by using a script called flash. I'll look Into it for you or, you could try the clockworkmod recovery app to flash the new recovery, you want 5.0.2.0 preferably
