[Q] Unrevoked 3.2 problem

Hello all,
I am having a bit of a problem here.
I managed to download Unrevoked 3.2 to root my HTC Desire GSM on the official 2.2 Froyo.
Ik installed the Hboot drivers correctly and when i start the tool everything goes well untill he reboots. After the reboot this message comes up:
"Failed to load recovery image".
Am i doing something wrong or what?
I have a .zip file with a recovery on my SD card.
Thanks in advance,
Quinten

I can bet you have HBOOT 0.92 or other than Unrevoked can't make

How can i see my Hboot version? Is 0.92 not supported? Will it be? Why are smurfs blue and why am i asking so many questions?

Power on your device with the volume down, the HBOOT version will be the third line down. If you have 0.92 than you need to downgrade.
There is a link under android development with a tutorial.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256

Ah offcourse. So i have 0.92. And so it isn't possible to root my device on the official Froyo update (yet)?

I was under the impression that UnrEVOked 3.2 could root later HBOOTs without a downgrade.
However, the point is moot at the moment, because 3.2 was pulled due to some bugs, so that may well be what is causing the OPs issue.

Dave

3.2 Is indeed also for Froyo devices. But 0.92 bootloader is an exeption maybe?
3.2 Was pulled down because of some problems with 2 Evo users. It should be working on the Desire tho.

The 0.92 bootloader came with the Froyo OTA.
So, if UnrEVOked 3.2 is supposed to root Froyo based Desires, it stands to reason that it should be so with HBOOT 0.92, because if you've got Froyo with an earlier bootloader, you must've already rooted at some point.
Regards,
Dave

Why, if 3.2 was taken down for bugs and screwing up peoples phones, did you try and use it?? Seems like a silly idea to me...
And 2.10.405.2 is HBOOT 0.93

it does 092 just fine. i did mine. you are doing something wrong. remove htc sync

It went offline for 2 EVO users. There were no Desire problems.

But it was taken down as it COULD cause issues for any device. Just cause it was 2 EVOs doesn't mean it won't kill other phones as well...if it was OK for all phones they'd still have it on their site with a note that it might cause issue if you have an EVO

Thanks for the confirmation 0.92 does indeed work. I removed HTC Sync execpt the driver. So. I did everything right. That's why i started this topic. I am clueless atm.

did you install hboot drivers w/o errors?
connect turned on and select mass storage mode. don't forget to have usb debugging checked.retry and post results.

One thing I would say about UnreEVOked in general is that I found the Windows version by far the most difficult to get up and running, whereas the OS/X version just runs with no messing around with drivers etc. I'd imagine the same is true of the Linux version.
Regards,
Dave

I've used unrEVOked once using Windows 7 x64 and it worked first time - was VERY easy...I'm back to stock now but does anyone know if HBOOT 0.93 will be supported when it's back out?

Yes i did install the drivers correctly and connected my device in mass storage mode with debugging turned on. Running on Win 7 64BIT but that should not be the problem. I am willing to try it on MAC OSX if somebody wants to give me the OSX files in a PM.

yes it is said that it will support any hboot. i did mine yesterday because i wanted amonra's recovery. i had no problems whatsoever.

[Q] Unrevoked Rooting Problems

Hey,
I've been trying to root my HTC Desire, which led me to Unrevoked (instructions from rootmydroid.co.uk).
I've installed and uninstalled HTC Sync, enabled USB Debugging, allowed Unknown Sources, etc.
Using both the latest version of Unrevoked 3.32 and older 3.21 - the software reports "Internal error: Couldn't find misc".
I was then told to use a custom recovery image, which I downloaded and used with Unrevoked (both versions), where it all went well until it stopped at the recovery image screen and appeared to be doing nothing. After reboot, still no root.
Hopefully you guys can help me out.
Chris

installed the hboot drivers from unrevoked?
actually - do a search on the forum - I am 99% sure someone had the 'misc' error before and there's a fix for it...

Just spent an hour researching and as I went to post it I got a white screen, losing my post. Stupid phone, I'll use the app in future.
Basically, I couple posts say that downgrading the HBOOT worked for them. A couple others recommend following the manual DIY guide, though being new to this I'd probably avoid that.
I should probably point out I have an Orange branded Desire. One post said that previously these phones needed to pay for a 'gold card' to get rooted, but wasn't sure if this was still the case.
So, just wanted to ask afresh on advise for steps to take to do this.

Gold card probably needed then as branded

You can make yourself a gold card

I implemented the gold card successfully. Using Unrevoked3, it goes well until "running root...", "this was a triumph", "Internal error: failed to unlock NAND flash?". (The older Unrevoked 2.2 still returns the misc error).
I have installed Unrevoked's HBOOT drivers & restarted PC, installed and uninstalled HTC Sync... to no avail.
Any help appreciated.

Also, I don't know if it's worth pointing out but when it reboots during the Unrevoked process and goes to the menu it says something like this (copied from internet)...

Thanks, seems like the only solution. So I backup, downgrade to stock 2.1, root with unrevoked3, then flash a ROM?
Could you point out which ROM it is I need to have HTC Gingerbread unbranded please? I want to upgrade to 2.3, while also removing Orange's crapware to save space.
P.S. Why is there two categories for Desire and Bravo on shipped-roms.com? Aren't they the same thing?

Hi, it s normal process that phone reboors during unreevoked process BUT it annoting that it checking and loading that file on your sd card... Why os that file PB99XX.IMG on your sd card? Try rename extension by adding. old and redo the process. Should work without doing downgrade or ruu.

I followed the guide, but I'm getting "adb not recognized as an internal or external command" repeatedly. Do I need the Android SDK installed or something (it doesn't say that).

I reaplied to you an android forums. But matDroid is correct. And yes you need adb set up. See the adb faq in my Sig. It gives you the minimum effort method to achieve this

Thanks, I got adb working after isntalling Android SDK quite some time ago, just haven't updated this thread since.
As I mentioned on Android Forums, the downgrade didn't go well (similar to this photo).
I then tried installing a couple RUU's, which I'm told were the wrong ones, leaving me with the HTC logo and 4 /!\
Installing a stock RUU has brought it back to life.
I'll continue trying to root soon.

[Q] Help!!!! s-off, plzzz!!

Hi,
I red a lot about these problem, but non of the posts helped me!
I had the latest version of the frimware. I read/write in hebrew so the RTL problem was really annoying! so i decided to root my phone and install rom that has RTL fix.
I did downgrade and i rooted my phone, but i cant get rid off the the radio (s-on).
I rooted with visionary+, but when i open the "easy radio tool", and i press on "do it", it stuck at the end. i waited one hour, and i know that it used to take 20 sec.
I tried other computer, i did factory reset, i even made gold card... nothing. still stuck. i tried to do h-boot with terminal emulator, after i press su its ok, with the #, but the next it says "cant open sdcard/dhd/check". i tried different sdcard but it doesnt matter.
Now i have android version 2.2, kernel 2.6.32.21 and software 1.32.405.6.
Please tell me what i do wrong, i spent 10 hours for nothing!!
Thank you very much!

like in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
how did you get root only with Visionary since visionary doesn't work since 1.72
and if you are really S-OFF (you should see it in the HBOOt menu ...when you restart press Power button and volume down and hold them....), the, instal the latest HTC sync , just to have the latest adb drivers, and take care...when you us Easy radio tool to keep the phone screen on, and on the main window...cause a SUPER USER window is gonna appear to ask for Super user permission ...of course you press YES

Hi
Tank you very much for the answer.
Yes, i did downgrade exactualy like in the post (i had Gingerbread , i didnt have to do the froyo-section 2a right? :/ )
After that i did root with visionary that is very simple after i downgrade to 1.32.
I didnt finish the radio tool, but i had the superuser permission and i pressed "yes".
Doesnt work.
Any other ideas?

Ok i did it!!!! With the terminal emulator. It was much easier and worked!! Anyway, thanx everybody for the help!

[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

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

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.

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.

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" .
HTC wildfire.
Thanks in advance!

I´ve used the unrevoked 3.32 and it worked perfectly.... Maybe you should give a try.
