DO NOT OTA update while you are rooted!
Download this, install and you have official FroYo
Thanks for the info as the phone is unlocked and rooted is it still on Orange?

Nope, you're stuffed until someone works out how to break in to the new HBoot, which may be soon, or may be never.
You should have read the forums first.
OK I have updated Radio ROM and Installed 2.2 all working great I love it. Use the guide/download links posted on the second thread thanks for that
To recap I had HTC Desire locked to Orange now unlocked and fully working with 2.2 update NOTE the first time I installed the 2.2 update the phone crashed at boot up had to reinstall it so be warned
These are new details after radio and 2.2 update

Firmware 2.1 update1
Build number 1.15.405.2 CL155070 release keys
Software number 1.15.405.4

Rooting is possible. I acheived it using unrevoked but flashing roms and just about anything else seems to be impossible!
Wrong. All you have to do is to get rid of the Bootloader. I used the "old" r6-... root method and had a rooted 1.15 after that. Then I wanted to use the 1.21 RUU... I use Win7 x64 and always get the error 170 on the first try, so I have to start the RUUs twice. The first starts, shows me that I have 1.15 and went to the grey htc logo. It then gets the timeout while "Waiting for Bootloader" (error 170) and breaks. The second launch of the RUU is detecting the device and tries to update. But suddenly it showed that I have the 1.24 VF version! And the RUU stated that I cannot "downgrade".
End of the Story was I did the HBOOT 0.75 downgrade with my already installed rooted 1.15. After that the RUU always said I have the 1.15 and updated the 1.21 fine. Now I have a 1.21 stock rom on my former VF branded Desire and the internal updater says that my phone is up to date... but that is another story.
I assume that using the PB99IMG.zip method for downgrading the 0.92 HBOOT of the FroYo update to 0.80 would have helped in this case too... (speculation).

Could you post a step by step guide to do this as I have been caught with VK OTA udate to 1.24 but have never 'rooted' anything. Can you confirm ut works when the 1.24 software is installed.
Sounds promising, just need a guide on how to do it please!
Thanks,
Hi.
Another Voda UK user here.
I previously rooted my Magic by following the guides here but can't seem to get my head round the Desire rooting.
I have HBOOT 0.83 with the latest Vodafone 1.24 software version.
I have downloaded the latest unrevoked and have been close to running it a coupe of times. Was going to flash the AmonRA recovery as that's what I was used to on the Magic.
On the magic it was just a case of running the update zip on the SD from recovery to flsah a new ROM.
Am I missing something with the desire??
I have to say that I had a 0.80 HBOOT with my 1.24 VF uk branding, so I don't know because the unrevoked root was successful. The version of the VF update was 1.24 and I was unable to go to 1.21 so I did these steps:
First I did this guide:
hxxp://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/307365/14-jun-r6-riskfreeroot-htc-desire-rooting-guide-now-with-hboot-0-80-and-os-to-1-21-support/
because it does what it says: "The root process will flash your device with a new, generic 1.15.405.4 based ROM that has Superuser access"
Second I did the downgrade of HBOOT 0.80 to 0.75 using this guide:
hxxp://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2934
After that I applied a 1.21 stock RUU.
But I assume using the downgrade HBOOT 0.92 to 0.80 guide in the dev section here is doing all this in one step. Could anyone try this? It requires a goldcard with this P99IMG.zip on it and the recovery via vol down+power.

We know that all this is possible on version 0.80 but I am and i thought Mr_maz are on bootloader version 0.83. On which recovery doesnt work. It is not possible to flash any image via recovery. Selecting recovery just reboots the handset to the white htc splash screen, not to the black screen with the red triangle. I have spent days trying various guides off the web and none work. And it has been accepted most that those of us on version 0.83 have to wait for someone to crack it!
Has anyone got a solution to this yet?
or know when the voda update is due?
VF update should be 7-10 days from their original press release (so prpbably a week from now)
Lesson learnt today - get a SIM-free handset from a 3rd party when upgrading!!
I would like to get back to stock 2.1 non-rooted on my Droid Incredible.
I had upgraded my radio to 2.x and flashed the leaked 2.2 rom. No major issues , but am not able to "##778", nor use 'native usb tether'.
Anyway upgrade was done just because had a rush of blood - just to prove to myself "Gone there - Done that"
Sense has prevailed again, to wait for the official 2.2 OTA. Is it safe to go back (kindly suggest the right steps), if so is the following procedure the right one
copy "PB31IMG.zip" to SD Card and 'reboot to recovery' ( is it safe to do this, as it was mentioned that "applying radio twice will result in a brick".
thanks and regards
ananth
You can do that downgrade like that, but it keeps your current radio intact. It wont apply the radio because CWM can't apply the radio itself.
IS THERE ANY problem with the radio being intact and not changing
I dont think there would be a problem....except getting pushed the offical OTA update

following the link androidforums.com/all-things-root-incredible/123816-how-revert-back-earlier-version-hboot.html,I've downgraded to stock 2.1-update1 and Baseband version 1.00.03.04.06, but my hboot version is not downgraded and is still .79. Can I upgrade to 2.2 when OTA comes, or should I try some other method to downgrade hboot.
Everything happens as per the link mentioned above till the point where it asks to run code 'fastboot devices'. On running fastboot devices the silver HTC logo appears and then nothing happens. As mentioned in the link I deleed everything from the 'temp' folder and started RUU again, copied the extracted files to another location and updated 'adb','fastboot''adbwinapi.dll'.
On running 'ARUWizard' it throws 'low battery error'. On exiting , handset restarts.
Now I renamed the extracted 'rom.zip' file as 'PB31IMG' and copied to sdcard root.After this on rebooting to recovery mode I got back to stock 2.1 with downgraded radio, but hboot did not downgrade.
Kindly advice if anything needs to be done
regards

If I'm running skyraider 2.5.2 sense, 2.15 radio and .77 hboot. A few questions...
1) is there a way to upgrade hboot?
2) is .79 the most up to date version? If not, what is?
3) if I can upgrade, is there a reason to? What is the difference between the different versions of hboot?
No reason, newer HBOOTs don't really offer you any performance increase.
Upgrading to hboot 0.79 is required for successfully installing the 2.2 OTA from Verizon (not leaked version). Can someone please answer this post? There appear to be a bunch of us stuck at this point.
Akhnaten
BTW, the error the update gives is "Signature verification failure" or something like that. This is occuring with hboot 0.77.
There appears to be an updated hboot in the May OTA update. You can find the file for the upgrade at the link. I will try this out and post an update.

Ok, but what steps do we follow to upgrade hboot to 0.79 so that we can install the 2.2 OTA update?
I thought .92 hboot was out.

0.92 (or something in that range) is the version that comes with Froyo 2.2. We are talking about trying to get to Froyo 2.2 while maintaining root. When I reverted to the May OTA to upgrade from version 0.77 to 0.79, that did the trick for the upgrade. Unfortunately, step 5 in the thread post by k.electron in the "[Q] Want root AND want OTA" thread does not work. I guess I undid the root work when I reverted. Now all I get after step 5 is my phone shakes at me 5 times when I try to go into hboot. Fortunately, I can still boot my phone regularly after a battery pull. BTW, when I say "May OTA" I mean the rom version 1.22.605.2 at the link I posted earlier.

Should we host this file here? I don't want to cause adrynalyne any bandwidth issues with a direct link to his page.

That is the HTC diagnostic mode when it vibrates multiple times. S-off unlocked it. SEARCH THE FORUM it is a common problem.
Thanks for the reply, ToyTank. I haven't looked up what the correct way to get out of diagnostic mode is yet, but I will give one final update.
I tried to reflash (ruu) the 605.2 rom and it failed. However, in the process it got me back into hboot mode. I then noticed that I was still in s-off mode. I switched to using the appropriate directions on this thread:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771178)
Condition 3, in particular
I skipped the installing 2.2 part since I had that already (from Verizon) and the rest went great. Now I am running OTA 2.2 with s-off and root.
Can someone recommend a 2.2 rom w/o all the crapware from Verizon?
Thanks,
Akh
Instead of loading a different ROM, get Titanium Backup and remove the apps you do not want.

Hey guys
I am totally new to the android phones, and now having a DHD which has the following specs:
Android Ver. 2.2
BaseBand Ver. 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_m
Kernel Ver. 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d
Build No. 1.32.405.6
Software No. 1.32.405.6
Now i looked at this link -
and didn't understand if i have to downgrade my DHD as well or is my version old enough so i can skip right ahead to the S-Off and ROOT?
can anyone tell me from what ver., and Ver. of what, do you have to perform downgrading?
thanks.
No need to downgrade.

how to root gingerbread
hi everybody,
forgive me if I' writing in the wrong place but for me has been enough difficult to get here..
I'm a rookie android user and I've been flying over the forums for the last three days, I'm really getting crazy.
Here are the specifics of my phone (branded):
android version 2.3.3
kernel version 2.6.35.10-gd2564fb
software number 2.50.405.2
and here's the problem:
I have purchased an AR drone and I'm trying to get it connected so I visited the following link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072281
seems that the first thing i need is a ROOTED Desire HD . I have tried every thing. Visionary (in different releases installed with ASTRO) seems not to be working. When i select Temproot now, after a while, the screen turns black. I waited for several minutes but nothing happened. So I needed to exit the program selecting "home". At that point it didn't allow me to rerun the app, I needed to reboot the phone to get it working again but no success.
So I tried GINGERBREAK 1.2 but after 25 minutes the rebooting process was still going on and I guessed that something was not working properly (as usual), so I stopped it. I think there is also a problem with Superuser (v 2.3.6.3), infact when I try to update it, it says "an error occurred and su was not updated. A zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sdcard, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary" (by the way...sorry for my inexperience, but what does "flash something" mean????).Anyway, my phone doesn't reboot on clockwork recovery.
Moreover, upon opening Rom manager (v4.3.2.4) it tells me that I must root my phone to get it working (of course) and that it cannot find Superuser at "system/bin/su" or "system/xbin/su". Guess what! I don't have such files on my phone.....
At this time i don't know what else I can do, I'm relly frustrated.
Can anyone help me out? keep in mind that if you have any kind of solution, I need some very "plain" explanation like if you were talking to your 5 years old son, please
Thanks
If we update with software number 2.50.405.2 can we root?
No, firmware > 2.37 cannot be rooted.
Thanks for the info, I guess I have to get rid of my AR Drone
