Erm... PVT5? Is this right. If it is then this needs to be cracked. Maybe you were suppose to hit 4 instead of 5. Please check again.

What would you like me to try . I have tried unrevoked 5 times. On different OS's . Xp win 7 .
And my bad I put 5 instead of 4 lol sorry

You need to use AmonRA as the CWM that comes with unrEVOked doesn't work with PVT4 phones - read the sticky in this forum about it

ok i have tried that with Unrevoked 3.3.2. i get a force close on the desire screen when it tried the Root. I am using the AmonRA 2.0 recovey.
Perviously i used Unrevoked to root with out custom Img. i have CWM on there. Would this cause any issues .
Should i flash the stock recovery ?

which guide did u use?
i used this one. i don't remember what version of unrevoked i used, but probably the one linked in that guide. i had no problems rooting my device, which seems to be the same like yours.
i had CWM on my desire before, but switched to amonra, cuz i found partitioning sd-cards more difficult in CWM.

i'm using windows7. i think XP should do it as well.
do you have the usb drivers installed that come with htc sync e.g. (you should remove htc sync if you have it installed. follow the guide i posted above).

Using windows 7 . ok i have faloowed that giude its the same as what i have done in the past . When unrevoked . Still get the Force close on the app trying to Root

let me get this clear, u rooted ur desire with unrevoked, ok?
did u flash any new rom? or u just using the stock htc sense?

hmm.. weird.. sounds to me like a problem with unrevoked (i'm not that experienced, since i just rooted an s-offed my device).
did u try other unrevoked version? did u run unrevoked by rightclicking and "run as administrator"?

Rooting Desire

Hello guys.I have a HTC Desire with 2.29.405.2 firmware and 0.93 bootloader.I tried several methods to root it but i did not succed.I tried Unrevoked 3.32 but it says that the firmware is to new.!!!???I tried more manual methods as well but without any luck.Any sugestions?

Have you changed the hboot driver as per unrevoked instructions in the more info section?
If so, try removing the SD card prior to using unrevoked. Worked for a friend of mine

Or even better try 3.2

I had the same problem and 3.21 did the trick for me

same - i had to use 3.21 reflash_package.exe to get it working
i thought you could get it from http://downloads.unrevoked.com/ but can't seem to find it anymore...
logic would say its in something like http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.21/reflash_package.exe

Rooting is goood! Thank you XDA!

I'm pretty new to the whole root/reflash game, so excuse me in advance if this is a nub question
I just used the unrevoked version linked above (3.21) and it seemed happy with rooting my phone (I'd tried other versions before that didn't work; and I did install the Hboot drivers linked in the unrevoked wiki). Now I'm not sure how to actually check if my phone is rooted properly. I've got the Superuser Permissions app installed courtesy of (AFAIK) unrevoked, but it's empty when I run it. My phone is still S-ON, but from what I understand I need to run AlphaRev to get it S-OFF.
Basically, in my current state is my phone rooted or unrooted? And what do I need to do to fully root it if it is unrooted?
Currently it reads the following when booted into recovery:

Thanks XDA

Why not try downloading an app that requires root? and see if it works, something like Root Explorer possibly.
Superuser will be empty until an app that requires root permission is used then Superuser will ask to give it permission to run and save the details.
Hope this helps.

Is there any tutorial on how to install the Oxygen Hboot? I found some tuts to install custom Hboots which requires to type some commands, and I don't know where to to type them
edit: sorry, wrong thread!!!

Got any free apps that require root? Not sure I need to spend money on an app just to check if I have root :\
Also, I assume once I'm rooted I'll need an app to remove some of the stock apps that come loaded? Some of the apps on the phone I never use and don't need (Messages, Facebook, Flickr, and a couple others).

Unroot using OneXRoot.com, now stuck at bootloader

Hi guys, seriously need some help.
Was on LeeDroid ROM and Bricked kernel.
Restored my phone to stock ROM using CWM recovery.
Followed the unroot method on OneXRoot.com
All the way till step 13 (factory reset using stock recovery).
Now I can't get out of the bootloader. Seen people mention RUUs. How do I flash them?
Please and thank you,
Laz.

When you are in the bootloader menu. Select fastboot. Have HTC Sync installed but closed. Download the required RUU for your device if you need help with this just ask . Plug your phone in when it is in fastboot and run the RUU.

Will HTC Sync Manager do? Or does it work only with HTC Sync?

Im not sure actually I installed HTC Sync as I know it comes with the drivers.

Rooting HTC Deisre does not work

I have then tried rooting my HTC Desire using SuperOneClick, Unlock Root and Unrevoked, but all of them have failed. It seems that they all try to install some drivers and fail and then cannot proceed. Does anybody have any ideas what I could try? Or maybe I can provide you with more info?

[Q] Desire hd 2.3.5

My desire hd is 2.3.5, Sense 3.0
I have done nothing about root/ s-off. It's like a new phone.
i want to upgrade to android 4.0+.
What should i do?? (i guess root and s-off, but not sure)i searched in xda and Google, but still no idea.
Can anyone can help? Hope u can give me the link as well.

Hi.
YOU NEED 100% Battery for this!
Fist off you will need to download AAHK (Advance Ace Hack Kit) http://tau.shadowchild.nl/aahk
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER I can not stress that enough. This WILL wipe your phone so if you want to keep SMS's use this download http://tinyurl.com/csl5qx7 (linked to play store)
Do the SMS Backup first if you want to. Then do the AAHK. This will downgrade your phone (wiping) and then root it for you with one button (Easy Right?!)
Now, you need to turn your phone off compleatly, so take the battery out and back in again. Then you need to press the power button and the volume down at the same time. This will take you to the Bootloader screen, There should be some little android guys at the bottom of a white screen. Now you need to navigate using the volume rocker to something called recovery screen and press the power button to select it. In there you will need to find the backup and restore menu using the volume rocker to navigate again. And then you need to make a backup of your current ROM. This WILL take a while.
while that is happening you need to find a ROM. Its personal preference really but one that I use that is JellyBean is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778202 (JellyTime) Very good ROM. Store that somewhere one your computer where it is easy to find.
When the backup is complete reboot your phone by the option in recovery.
You now need to transfer your ROM's zip file over to the phones SD card and rename it update. With the JB ROM you will also need to transfer the Gapps zip that should be on the same page as the ROM that I linked. When that has done then you need to reboot and go back into the recovery screen the same way as before.
When in recovery,you need to "wipe Data/Factory reset" and then just to be on the safe side "wipe cache partition" you then need to find the "apply update from SD card option and select it. This will now update to the JB ROM. When that has done navigate to the "install zip from SD card" option and install the Gapps zip. When that has done reboot and enjoy your shiny new ROM!
Enjoy!

You can use the guide in my signature to learn the basics, if you are not used to it. The rest is reading the manual and the Hack Kit site...:good:
If you need a backup of your current rom, you can unlock the bootloader, flash recovery, make a backup, relock and run the hack kit.

Thank you all.
But there is still problem there.:crying:

The hack kit installs it the first you run it, so there is no need to install anything.

Is the driver installing succesfully? after installing and plugging the phone, you will see the device manager install the driver and will prompt "device is ready to be used".
If that is happening, then make sure that you are using the oem cable and that the usb port is 2.0 and not 3.0. Use a different usb port...that is merely a connectivity issue. Have you checked connectivity per le effen manual?

Yes, I did everything, but its still don't work. I don't know why.
I try to uninstall everything, then redo completely.
