Hboot .83 + unrevoked3 = pita

Ok guys so.I'm trying to root my desire with .83 hboot using unrevoked because from what I read it works but it doesn't.
I get either " waiting for reboot " or "connect your phone..." am I right to assume I don't need a goldcard? My.networks orange uk
Is there any other method of.rooting .83? Except for unrevoked?

READ THEM ****ING GUIDES
Three other root methods (at least)

yeah, most guides state if you get stuck there to make sure the hboot/recovery drivers are installed.
Rooting my .83 was a breeze, i coulda done it on my head.

Do some reading on how to root an orange phone. HBoot 0.83 is easy as pie, Orange=PITA. At least that's what I have picked up from these forums, and as far as I know you need a goldcard.
Always make sure you read more than you need to before starting to change such an expensive piece of kit. Seems you missed some steps.

Well. I've made sure the drivers are installed. I even tried it with a Linux live cd.
My.question was is there any alternatives? All the tuts point to revoked.
No need to be a prick about it. All I asked was for help

unrevoked works best on a mac or linux machine, windows can have driver issues.

You have USB debugging turned on right? And drivers for HTC sync and for android devices you need to browse to when you connect it? Are you running as an admin?
Turns out I was wrong, people have rooted Orange handsets without a goldcard.
The reason your getting responses that sound like pricks is because all the info is there, people don't want to find it for you.

Second time I've posted this today (no I'm not advertising) search for Root My Droid they have a good step by step guide for rooting the Desire. Unrevoked definately works on Orange as I did it yesterday following the guide they have.
Make sure you have the options to install applications from unknown sources, debugging on and the default connection type as disk drive.

Thanks for the help. Ill try and give it another try. I've rooted 3 desires fine but this is my first .83. That's all. I did enough searches for .83 roots on google. Most of the other root methods were talking about .75 and .80.
Ill uninstall everything and try again with unrevoked.

I had hboot 0.83 and rooted it from my Ubuntu laptop with unrevoked without any problems. Easiest root I've ever done.

i dont have a hboot 83 but i did help a friend do his telus hb83
the guides i read up on stated getting sdk for the drivers and all sorts of other stuff
i didnt.
what i told my friend in short .missing from the guides.
install htc sync then remove the sync leave the drivers part.
download unrevoked and extract the refresh rar/zip.find and run the hboot html found inside and follow the instructions to install the hboot drivers.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm going to have another go at using Linux unrevoked since I think my windows 7 is probably playing up.
Again. Thanks for the help.

HTC desire

Ok so I need help rooting my branded HTC desire running 2.2
I'm not a fan of the gold card method and I have been trying unrEVOked to no avail.
I have uninstalled HTC sense and any program that may interfere with my HTC when in boot loader.
My phone will lose communication with my computer when trying to ready hboot.
I'm at my wits end. HELP
Thanks

I think you should put this on the HTC Desire forum i have one before and unrevoked works for me.
Read threads in QA or stickies in Development forum.

It's still a driver issue..
One sure shot method is to do this in linux. Or install a second copy of windows as multi boot. In it install htc software, uninstall htc sync leaving the drivers behind. Install unrevoked driver in hboot mode, then retry unrevoked

Sorry for the long delay in a reply. Yes it was a driver issue but I have rooted my phone and now I'm running cyanogen mod 7
Thanks for your help

DHD HTC Dev Bootloader Unlocking on Mac

Hi,
I'm trying to root my Desire HD using the official HTC Bootloader Unlocker.
At the very first step, how do I deal with the .exe RUU file since I'm using a mac ?
Do I REALLY have to get a Windows installation to get it done ?
Thanks,

I wouldn't use the official HTC method. Causes more pain than it does good. Just use the advance AC hack kit

Thank you so much.
One hour ago, I didn't even know this one-click-all-in-one-superdupertool existed, and right now my telephone is rooted.
Cheers.

[Q]

hey all, i'm transferring from an X8 to a Wildfire, and i've followed every guide for getting S-Off and getting it rooted, but Unrevoked just keeps saying "waiting for device", can anyone help me.
I'm using Windows 8 Release Preview.

Did you followed this guide on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788776?
I S-OFF'd my Wildfire with AlphaRevX/Revolutionary just search for it on google you find there a tutorial for sure

read and follow the guide to the last word...
i am not sure,but i think "waiting for device" error can be caused by missing drivers...dont be lazy and read few more posts than op,this is common mistake and surely was discussed and answered...
i also s-offed my phone using alpharevx/revolutionary without any problems..
