[Q] cant flash clockworkmod but phone is rooted please help

I really need help or direction to where I can get help please. I have been trying root my phone. I followed the guide on here for the Windows method and the Linux method when that was unsuccessful. The phone seems to have been rooted as I have the superuser permissions app (the ninja) and titanium backup worked once I went to the problems section and added busybox. Various other root only apps work. The app root check says I'm rooted but that I don't have busybox installed even though titanium backup says I have it.
My problem is unrevoked will not flash clockworkmod recovery. It says is firmware too new. I am on Telstra branded desire gsm on 2.1 exactly as I got it. Hboot is .75 software version 1.16 I did a factory reset and unrevoked said failed to flash recovery the first time then the next few times the usual is the firmware too new. I tried flashing the recovery using ROM manager but even that doesn’t work. I don’t know what else to do. Any advice????
I have not tried the manual method of installing clockworkmod the way it is explained on the cyanogenmod guide as I don't understand it.
I just don't what else to do. Please help me. Thank you.

hi maniacal26,
it's always better asking before than after having bricked the phone.
so now you are root, i think this is still stock rom. So it's normal that U are not busybox installed into the phone (titanium uses his own titanium... just stick fix the problem into the app titanium to get ONLT to allow titanium working fine)
You can install busybox by the market busybox
about root => get the app root checker it will tells you if U are well rooted
don't use rom manager as it a waste of time... i would advice you to use the recovery amon_RA v2.0.1 work great even to partition your sd card.
first of all you mus be sure that is a unbranded phone or branded phone
branded phone need a goldcard (look into the forum there s a lot of thread about it)
if unbranded u can use unrevoked 3.21 and select in the menu bar a presonnalized recovery which has been previuosly downloaded to your computer.
follow this TUT for branded phone as it seems you ve got one (telsra)
be caution and ask before if any doubt... ask question to this community.
there plainty members who knows a lot of stuff about android.

I have downloaded root check and it confirms I am rooted.
Busybox will not install using that app it says my nand is locked.
Titanium backup works and has installed its own busybox 1.16 even though the busybox app says there is no busybox installed and that it can't install one.
Where can I find unrevoked 3.21 I can only find 3.32 ?
I will make a goldcard now and try again.
Thank you.

Is phone really new ??
Then may be your phone is PVT4 ...
Try using Amon RA Recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839621
Also search unrevoked on xda, its very easy to use, and if your phone is pvt4, you'll also have to use AlphaRev for S-OFF ....

Hope it helps

I bought the phone brand new from Telstra in Australia and never did any of their updates it is stock.
I have tried the unrevoked method that is what has given me superuser permissions it just won't flash a recovery. I have been told to use 3.21 version but I can only find 3.32 so I can't go any further with that st this point. I made unrevoked flash the anon-ra recovery but it just keeps saying is fails to flash is it firmware too new. It can't be too knew as its what the phone shipped with when I bought it in June last year.
Thank you for it suggestions. I do not have pvt4 the bootloader does not say that.
Thank-you again. I will try what u suggested and report back.

i downloaded the telstra one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 the one i chose is http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...4_R4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_123851.exe
when i attempted to run it said i had the my usb cable is not connected first then upon rerunning it, it said that my ruu image is the incorrect one. my phone is a telstra branded phone i bought on a contract from telstra itself. it has to be the right one.... ????
thank you for ur suggestion. do you have any other advice?

hi maniacal26,
about the new... quite annoying since my phone bought from jan2011 is pvt4
i use unrevoked 3.21 you can donwload it by clik the name from my dropbox
the following link is amon_ra v2.0.1
from now, i use unrevoked to root and instal a recovery (wich would be cmd 2.5.3 (you can select file and choose another recovery like amon ra)
as my desire is unbranded I've never used a goldcard. so I could say more that is saying in the xda's tutorial.
from my own, i used unrevoked to root and instal a recovery - made a nand backup follow up by the alpharev 1.8 s-off.
once done i used fasboot methode to flash the recovery
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery c:\adb\amon_rav2.0.1
i bcp up all sd card on computer followd by partionning sd card with fat32 + ext3
from there i choose a custom rom (from my own - leedroid - which is the more stable and complete) that's all
since every thing work fine
(i advice to run alpharev on usb bootloader)
hope this would help

I'll put a shot in the dark here.
Download the CM7 for the phone.
If you're running ROM manager, Flash to the newest clockwork recovery first.
Boot into loader,
Wipe all data and cache memories, including Devalc
Then flash

Thank-you to everyone who tried to help me. I gave up for while and tried again. I installed amon-ra I just could not get clockworkmod to install to the phone kept saying I had too new firmware. When I tried to restore back using the original firmware off the HTC website it also said my firmware was too new and that I had to use one of the newer roms they had to offer.
I used unrevoked but chose amon-ra as alternative recovery. Worked instantly. Everything has gone smoothly since then. I am running cm7 with recommended radio. I just need to s-off to get more internal memory available.
If anyone has problems like this just amon-ra, it even worked using win 7 64-bit whereas the other way it wouldn't even work using ubunto.
As a side note I have noticed a massive slow down (compared to the fresh cm7 install speed) on the phone once there is too many apps installed. It seems to be more about number rather than size. Regardless of how many, if any at all, apps have been moved to the SD card. I found there was a Tom that said it fixed this but I'm just gonna stick with cm7 anyway. Ill just run less apps and for an update.
Also been running phone on 1113Mhz now and its not a problem in my use with overheating in case anyone was a little afraid to test out.
Thanks to everyone again and I hope this post can assist someone else who is ready to break the phone.

[Q] To root or not to root

Hi, running wildfire (buzz), froyo 2.2.1 hboot x....0002.
I have tried following the big messy sticky guide in general forum. I think I have AlphaRev and CWM installed. The HBOOT shows 6.01.0002, S-OFF and I get CMW when I go to recovery. But when I try to test if I have root when I boot into htc sense the test app says no. No superuser or root. Am I missing something? Every single guide I have found here says alpharevx or revoked should give root..
The guide says to RUU from 2.2.1 to 2.1. Is this necessary when I want to install a custom rom?
Any and all help much appreciated.

Unrevoked will root the phone along with installing custom recovery by a nand exploit.
But alpharevx neither roots the phone nor installs custom recovery. It turns off the nand security to make rooting (+ installing custom recovery) easier. So if you made s-off with alpharevx, then you need to root and install custom recovery on your own (which are very easy)..
And you dont need to downgrade with an RUU. Just go with this link..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15226717&postcount=68 .
Also check the complete wildfire index thread from dev section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318 .
Edit: oh.. didn't get you clearly. Looks like you have custom recovery installed. Anyway, you can check the above link for rooting. And to install custom roms, you just need cwm recovery installed. Downgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.1 (using RUU) is not necessary in any case. And to root your stock rom just use superone click root method or gingerbreak.apk or you can also install Su binary (= rooting) from cwm recovery. And you dont need to root a custom Rom because custom roms will be already rooted. Another thing you need to remember is some roms need cwm version 2.x while others need cwm version 3.x or above. You need to shift between recoveries according to that need . On how to do that, check the index thread.

Flash Superuser Binary in Clockworkmod. There's absolutely no need to use any RUU / Unrevoked if you have got Clockworkmod Installed.
Download SU Binary here:
http://bit.ly/su2361ef
Flash, and check for root again. This will give you a rooted Stock ROM.
Alternatively, if you just want to change ROMs , you dont need to be "rooted". Just a Custom Recovery like Clockworkmod will do. So, if that's your ultimate goal, just flash the new ROM. Again, dont touch RUUs/Unrevoked.

Thank you, both for clearing that up. I must say the sticky post is way way over complicated and dead wrong on the process. Since it's a sticky it needs to get cleaned up by someone who knows about it.

It's not a sticky actually. (I assume you are referring to this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035)
I posted my views there but everyone seems happy with that, so whatever suits the individual I guess.
I have posted an overview of the process here (This is a sticky thread, so I kinda hope you are not referring to this one ):

Hi, I have the same problem as micnolmad.
I'm running wildfire:
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.01.1002
I used AlphaRev to get S-OFF, and change from HBOOT 1.01.0002.
I thought it was meant to convert HBOOT to 1.01.0001, but for some reason it's now 6.01.1002. Not sure if this is important? At least the phone's now S-OFF, which should enable rooting?
However, booting into HTC sense, rom manager syays I do not have root!
I have clockwork 3.0.0.6 but when I use it to install cyanogen 7.0.3, the installation says successful, and then freezes on start up.
Any ideas?

Did you perform all the wipes in clockwork (Data,cache,Dalvik Cache) before flashing your new rom, these are important and cause problems if not done!!
Also read this thread, the posts above mention flashing su binary to get root.

[Q] "rooting" process failed...plz help

hi friends..
while trying to rooting my htc desire through unrevoked3...
i am getting an error
"error: failed to get root. is your firmware too new?"
like this..
can anybody plz help me
why this thing is happening??
i am using official android 2.3 version on my desire
any suggestion plz

When you start your phone with Vol- & Power, whats is displayed on the white screen? Somewhere something like PVT4 maybe? If so, you can't install the "standard" recovery which comes with unrevoked3.
So what you got to do is:
1. Downloaf AmonRa v2.0.1 (from here for example: http://www.brutzelstube.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.1.img
2. In unrevoked choose the menu File/Custom Recovery and after that choose the img file
3. connect your phone via USB
Worked for me as well a few months ago.

I had the same problem with unrevoked. I used revolutionary, and it worked great.
visit revolutionary(dot)io
I used this in conjunction with a factory reset, which wiped me back to 2.1.

Use revelolutionary. Its a tool for instant s-off, root and custom recovery.

Had same problem with Unrevoked, resolved it by downgrading my system using some older RUU update. But in that time I didn't know Revolutionary - using Revolutionary is definetly much easier than downgrading whole system.

Unrevoked works for 2.2 but not for 2.3. Furthermore, it does not give s-off and flash custom recovery (CWM).

This a solution for the MISC-Errors when starting Clockworkmod Recovery (CWM). If one can start CWM, it means the root process with unrevoked started and finished successfully. But here the root process can't even be started, so your solution won't work.
@ashuonweb:
As PreScoper mentionend, use Revolutionary to get S-OFF and root access for your phone. But read documentary page very carefully before you do anything!

thanx to all..
my problem solved by using revolutionary...
again millions of thanks to all above..

[q] s-off reroot...

Last August I rooted my DHD using AAHK. No problems for a complete beginner. Had things running sweet. 4ext. tried a number of different roms. flashed radios and RILs; again, no probs. but then for some reason I returned to stock using RUU_Ace_H3G_UK_1.37.771.3_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_158897_signed.exe - still running this now.
I have S-OFF and now want to REROOT!
Is there a guide to Rerooting that I can follow or can someone give me the basic steps as I don't want to mess things up, it was a while ago since I first rooted the DHD.
1more thing... my DHD was locked to 3-UK before root. Now, I can only use Virgin, Orange, GiffGaff, T-mobile, Tesco, but not 3. this bugs! Anyone got any ideas as to why this is?
Failing that... Rerooting Toot using AAHK (if poss.) would be great cos I have a laptop dedicated/configured for AAHK already.
any HELP will be appreciated - TANX!

You don't need AAHK if you're still S-Off. If I remember correctly, to root your current ROM, just push a su manager app (like Superuser.apk or SuperSU.apk) and a su binary. Alternatively, if you want to flash a custom ROM, fastboot flash a recovery img and flash a ROM from there.

You need to get the 4ext img and fastboot flash it, not just install from apk. More detailed instructions are in the thread linked in my signature. Look in the guide in post #7, bottom of page 9, "S-Off no recovery" section.
You need to search for the apk and su binary; I don't have copies. It will only root your current ROM with no customization. If you're going to fastboot flash 4ext you don't need to bother with this, since any ROM you flash from recovery will overwrite your current ROM with the apk and su binary.

OK - kewl!

For anyone else interested in S-OFF REROOT...
GuyInTheCorner gives instructions on how to do this... ROOTING WHEN YOU'RE ALREADY S-OFF (with no custom recovery)
So if you're already S-OFF (either HTC DEV or AAHK [Ace Hack Kit]) but you're not rooted, don't despair! Its a relatively easy fix, all you need is a little time. . Now you'll have to have a card reader for this part. Using a card reader, place a PD198IMG.zip on the root of your SD Card (this means directly onto the SD Card, NOT IN A FOLDER) that contains a custom recovery. What you want to do now is to boot into HBOOT (Volume up+Power). Once you've done that it will automatically try to detect a PD198IMG.zip (which is already on your SD Card). It will flash it and you'll have yourself a custom recovery. Now using the volume buttons to navigate up and down respectively navigate to the RECOVERY option and press the power button. Now you're in your custom recovery, open the mounts section and mount your SD Card to your PC. Now download a SuperUser.zip and flash it in recovery. Congrats! You've flashed a custom recovery and are now rooted! Enjoy
If I helped, hit that thanks button!

I didn't use HTCDEV to unlock the bootloader I used AAHK to achieve S-OFF! So, I should be OK with the procedure you and GuyInTheCorner refer to - yeah?

Achieving root is easy. The hard stuff is to get S-OFF...
If you have unlocked the bootloader or S-OFF'ed, then flash SU in CWM or 4ext and that's it.

if your phone is booting normally, use the 4ext updater. If not flash CWM first and then a custom rom. From the android UI use 4ext updater.

What happened? Did you try to fastboot flash a recovery.img? That should work as long as you're S-Off.
To install Superuser on a working ROM, find a Superuser.apk and a su binary. adb push the Superuser.apk to /system/app and the su binary to .../xbin, I think? There are guides around XDA.

I tried to fastboot flash 4ext by placing the 4ext/recovery zip renamed to PD198IMG.ZIP in the root path of the SDcard then vol-down&power but hboot does not pick it up.
I then tried the 4ext updater but there were errors; so I don't know what's happening - I've almost given up and thinking about updating from FROYO to GingerBread OTA as a last resort and be done with that.
I read that S-OFF should be easy to root but that's not what I'm finding.
there is not enough information about unroot by returning to stock then rerooting for me to feel confident about doing it correctly so I might just go GingerBread - period!

ok, first it is PD98IMG.zip and not PD198IMG and you have an apk that can be downloaded from here: http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk
You just install it using a file manager and the run it. Download the lastest recovery, flash it from there and you are done.

From some months i wanted to root my mobile so i have applied many methods for rooting mobile but none of the method worked. Instead i got a problem in my mobile that now my mobile is running on android 2.1 and when update notification screen pop up i press on download but after downloading the update when it starts to install i have to face some error, a red exclamation mark in a red triangle appears with a mobile on my screen.
I Really want to root phone and after rooting i want to upgrade it to CM9.

Have a look for a clockworkmod (cwm) download for this model (buzz). Look for version 5.0.2.0 or above as a pc49img.zip download. add it to your sdcard and then reboot to bootloader. Allow it to update. After it is successful take out your sdcard and then reboot into bootloader. Scroll down to recovery and hit power. You should now boot into cwm recovery and be able to flash cm9. Follow the instructions in the cm9 thread for flashing, and remember that controls in cwm and different from when in hboot.

not unless you want your stock rom backup to have root. cm9 is pre rooted and by wiping and removing your stock rom you will have removed any previous rom mods like root. therefore its an extra step thats not needed
to Clarify further most people need to root to flash a custom recovery, but with your current hboot ( which is hacked) you can flash a recovery without root. so you can flash a supersu zip after flashing your custom recovery but its not much use if your just gonna wipe the phone and flash cm9.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60710027 read this post, it has the cwm you need. Just follow the post and you will get cwm installed. Dont follow the numbered steps at the end though they are not relevant to you. Once you install cwm make a back up!
