[Q] Rooting 2.2 US Cellular Desire - $40 Bounty on successful root!

I just got my HTC Desire from US Cellular today, as I was trying to root, it wouldn't work. I followed the instruction and tried it on 2 different computers, I have noticed that my phone does have the Android 2.2 update already applied to it. Has anyone been able to achieve root with 2.2?
unrevoked 3 gives this message
Internal Error: failed to unlock NAND flash?

I'm having the same issues. I played with uninstalling and reinstalling HTC Sync, Windows 7 vs Windows XP, just couldn't get anything to work. If you find something that works, could you please let me know?
I found a couple threads that say that unrevoked 3.21 might work, but I can't find the download ANYWHERE...

i got unrevoked v3.32, it works well on my phone. but i don't know how to upload it, maybe i can email you if you need(about 30MB).
BTW. as i know, before rooting you should shut down all of the process related to "HTC" in the Task Manager.

here's a video of installation of the drivers for rooting:

and the video of rooting with unrevoked (with links and all that stuff)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZmNcyE0km8

Just like all the previous times before i followed the instructions exactly as in the tutorials, and it gives this message.

I have 2.2 and i wanted to root my Desire today and got this messages :
error rooting firmwire to new ? and internal error : installing package failed

I found 1 thread that says we can't root using Unrevoked if we have hboot 1.06. Wonder when this will get updated...

I get the same message as the OP and would love to get the unrevoked tool or hboot drivers updated.
I'm 99% sure it has to do with the updated radio and/or hboot included in the 2.2 RUU that they used.
This is not a result of poorly followed steps according to current guides.
edit-
This will affect EVERYBODY who buys a new Desire with 2.2 installed from U.S. Cellular
It will also affect EVERYBODY who had S-ON prior to using the 2.2 RUU update downloaded from HTC. Regardless of other root access.

I figured it was due to the HBOOT version.
Well I'll start a bounty to the team or person who fixes this
I've got $15 i'll put up.

I couldn't root my 2.2 HTC Desire with Unrevoken3, but then after some searching I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
Following that I've downgraded my phone to version 2.1, then Unrevoken3 did the trick.
After that I've put Oxygen ROM 2.3 Gingerbread on my phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882758

That downgrade utility is for GSM desires not CDMA.
Oxygen ROMs are also for GSM phones only.

[Q]Downgrade HBOOT 1.01 to 0.80

I have noticed that is possible to be done for HTC Desire to downgrade HBOOT from 0.92 to 0.80 without any problems. Did anyone tried to downgrade HBOOT of Buzz ? In theory is it possible ? Thanks!

Desire != Wildfire

Anybody tried this methode ? does it work ?

I have done some search and I have found out it MIGHT be possible to do it. I got the recovery files in place extracted the rom from a RUU. Now I need some HexEdit search. Seems like the misc partition on Wildfire (were the current version is stored) is not in the same place as the one on Desire. So definitely
Wildfire != Desire
If i manage to find the right combination I will try to brick my phone latter on

good luck i hope it works downgrading not bricking

Just send your phones to me and i will S-Off them with my XTC clip ;-)

Downgrading worked for some time now, but, it only downgrades Android 2.2.1 to 2.1. The HBOOT remains intact. So, to answer your query, no, there is no downgrading method yet.
You can get S-OFF on the updated HBOOT though.

if i understand this right,
so i can downgrade to android 2.1 to flash 2.3 later?
sry my english is not really good and i think i understand that false

No. Because 2.3 is only available as a Custom ROM so far. And, to flash Custom ROM's you need to be rooted, which you cant do even if you downgrade to 2.1 because, as I said, the HBOOT cannot be downgraded.
Hope it is clear now.

yes now its clear
thanks for your help

Yes it is through a specific hardware device called the XTC Clip. You will have to buy one yourself or find someone who has one and is willing to S-OFF your Wildfire for you. Just a search around here should reveal the specifics. Not very sure on that.

This XTC Clip, what specifically does it do? Couldn't someone who has one work out exactly what is does and then put it online? Sorry if this sounds stupid.

haha, I knew that! I wondered what it actually did... Like change a system file or do something to the SD card which allowed the phone to have an S-OFF Hboot installed.

I own a HTC Desire Z, and I have downgraded my software including Hboot using this method .
I have tried the same thing on my girlfriend wildfire and I managed to obtain temporary root, but when I tried to change "misc_version" to 1.24.405.1 I got this error:
Code:
# /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.24.405.1
--set_version set. VERSION will be changed to: 1.24.405.1
Patching and backing up partition 17...
Error opening input file.
I know that this files are specific for Desire Z, psneuter worked only after I have downloaded from somewhere else (I don't remember where), but maybe someone will manage to edit "misc_version" and make it work on wildfire, then it will be possible to downgrade everything including H-boot.

the partition table is different on each model. that's one of the reasons why it won't work..

[Official Unlocking Bootloader] HBOOT HTC Desire

HTC is committed to assisting customers in unlocking bootloaders for HTC Desire:
http://www.htcdev.com/ruu/PB9920000_Bravo_Froyo_hboot_1.03.0003_R.exe
http://www.htcdev.com/ruu/PB9940000_BravoC_S-RUU_Alltel_UTSI_001-27_hboot_1.09.exe
http://www.htcdev.com/ruu/PB9940000_BravoC_S-RUU_UTSI_028-47_hboot_1.09.exe
After this you must reboot in FastBoot Mode and type in Command Prompt: fastboot oem get_identifier_tokenSubmit
Then submit the token in order to receive your unlock code binary file...
When copying the token, start with this line:
<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>
And end with this line:
<<<<< Identifier Token End >>>>>
The difference with the official way is that you only unlock the bootloader. You don't get S-OFF so you can't make changes 'on the fly' with Android running, you'd need to do changes with the phone in HBOOT/fastboot mode.

Hi,
thanks man. I'll have a good play with this later today.

If you are using AlphaRev's HBOOT, you should flash downgrade hboot first to be able to flash any other hboot...

I tried this last night but when I tried to flash the unlock binary file it just sat there then came up failed.

it's what I was thinking, what's the point of unlocking it with this.. and if you do that I bet you won't be able to flash an alpharev hboot since you can't roll back hboot version, and running revolutionary won't work since it's different hboot version.
That's my hypothesis on this anyway.

Yup. Correct. Unless you flash a hexedited version of this hboot, which has the version downgraded. Any guineapigs? It's useless, unless you plan to retain HTC's stock recovery to flash custom roms. Which again is useless..

Including me.. There's no way to be completely sure that the hexedited portion is the correct bit which decides the version. I flashed a hexedited hboot onto my device, and it did downgrade the version number displayed on the hboot screen, but that does not mean the version lock happens there.
But for fun, you can change the bit that says Alpharev/Revolutionary to whatever you like.

Want to root my HTC Desire.

I'm not sure where to post this.
Anyway, I want to root my HTC Desire. This will be my first time rooting a phone and I'm pretty excited haha. I have searched on Google for rooting/flashing methods, but none of them actually worked for me. I guess it's because my HTC Desire runs Android 2.3.3? I read something about downgrading my phone to 2.2 again, because rooting is than easier? Can somebody help me? ><
Information about my phone:
HTC Desire A8181.
Android version 2.3.3.
HBoot 1.02.001.
I don't know if this is enough information for you guys to help me, but if you need more, just ask.
And btw, I am 14 and not a native English speaker, so there may be some grammar/spelling mistakes.

you don't need to... you can get s-off via revolutionary and flash zip via recovery from question about root... 4th question from here

It is if you remove SetCPU. Somehow I guess it is in conflict with screenstate script. Last week it was running strong for way more than 300hrs before I forgot my charger in a car on a parking lot. I used it as a hotspot which ran battery flat before I managed to plug it in. Otherwise, it would probably work now even.
Apparently there will be an upgrade. Neophyte tweeted it, and AuraxTremeGinger is a thing to wait for.

on my telstra desire the htc dev rom would crash on stock apps eg camera and message etc and my phone would reboot or freeze randomly , i know it's software related as when i was on the 2.2 rom from telstra i did not have these issues , got so fed up with the rom i decided to s off and install a new sense rom ,from that day on my phone does not freeze or reboot .

No, i own the GSM version. It's an unbranded terminal, PVT-4, made in China (not Taiwan).

No Need To Downgrade 2.13.401.2 anymore, HTCDEV released latest version

Good news for you guys having updated latest FOTA and lost unlocked bootloader. If downgrading did not work out for you, visit htcdev.com.
They released an official RUU for the latest firmware to be unlocked.
Also do wish me luck, bc latest FOTA bricked my device. Maybe I can revive it this way.
But nevertheless, no need to downgrade anymore.

To upgrade to 2.13.401.3 do i have to go back to stock recovery or does it work with cwm or goldcard ?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using XDA App

I'm sorry, this has nothing to do with upgrading to 2.13.401.3.
This is just for telling people already having 2.13.401.3, that they now can unlock the bootloader with a HTCDEV RUU

Yes i know it, but i downloaded the ruu update.exe because i don't received the fota and i read somewhere on xda that we have to go back to stock recovery for update.

yes, that's right. but this is the wrong place for your question.

Sorry i just realise it now, i forgot you update via fota

yap..I just opened a website htcdev, there is no more 2.13.401.2

read title from theq86 this is news about official RUU for the latest firmware to be unlocked, so theres no need to downgrade if you want to unlock bl (if you're on 2.13.401.3)

In addition: there is only hboot file in the RUU-update That means that our phones will be always unlockable after flashing every next ROM update from HTC. No more outdated RADIO.

Huh, that's funny. If you listen to some people around here, HTC is a giant corporate gorilla that doesn't care about its peon customers or listen to them at all. They were never going to unlock the Wildfire S bootloader in the first place, and then after they did, they killed us with an RUU that relocks it just to torment us, and they were never going to solve that problem for us either.
Thanks HTC for listening to your customers... AGAIN!
