Hi guys. Pulling my hair out because cant root my Desire since updating to a 1.21 ROM. I debranded my Desire fine with the 0.75 rooting process but when I try this guide here. I cant root now.
When I get to the part where I have to apply the sd card update zip the phone gives me a message saying E:faild to verify the whole-signature installation aborted. I have tried re downloading the file using a different sd card nothing works..

Im no expert at rooting or anything,(i haven't even rooted), but it could be cause you have a telstra model desire. Theres a rom with froyo+sense that works on the A8183 on whirlpool forums, so have a look there

The problem is I cant even get to the process of flashing another rom. I am trying to get root access to perform this step. I have already debranded it and got root access once before with the 0.75 boot loader. Now I cant with the 0.8 boot loader following the instructions to the letter...
I have an unbranded and unlocked Desire ( singapore import ), and still needed a Gold Card.
But i have heard of many people on forums saying that they had to try multiple brands of uSD card before they had a Gold Card that worked.
I used the rooting guide in the very first sticky post in this sub-forum using the live CD method, and it failed at the same point as you, but making a gold card fixed the problem.
My desire also has the .80 bootlader, but use the method provided by theunlockr.com and your home free
Have you tried unrEVOked 3?

Download THIS and follow the rooting instructions to root a phone on HBOOT 0.80 - the files are different to 0.75 (a quick read of the MCR root guide would've pointed this out)
Ok it's all good now. I had all the right programs etc but a third download of those tools from the alternate link seemed to work. The step 1 thing went twice as long the with the newly downloaded r6 tools.
I now have a recovery image and a 2.2 rom installed . Thanks for the unrevoked3 suggestion guys .
Why dont u use the safe One Click Method!? OMG

Lol. Because I was not awear of it. I just google'd debranding htc desire and all the manual stuff comes up so that's where I started..
i rooted my desire about 5-6 days ago i am running on the .80 bootloader and the 1.15 rom thru HTC, but now the issue im running into, and maybe someone can guide me on this is..... I can not get into recovery or flash a custom recovery image! should i just re-flash to stock, unroot, and go thru the Unrevoked3 process to get everything working... I want to be able to load custom roms either directly thru downloading them from the web and saving them to my sdcard or thru rom manager and i cant....
If I go into fastboot mode and then bootloader then recovery it pops up the HTC logo for 2-3sec then goes right back into fastboot mode.
Hi,
I'm brand new user of HD (first time i have android phone) and i wanted to put custom rom. As i understand i have to put Clockworkmod Recovery to install any rom.
I downloaded from marketplace but when i started it, it says "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands"
Is there any workaround (phone is unlocked)?
(I hope it's a right place to ask )
Have you rooted, S-OFF, ENG-OFF your phone?
ENG-OFF is only if you want to flash a different radio.
You can find all the guides in the Development Section.
Aha, i'll do that first (in that order)....
Before i do permroot i searched for stock rom, but i found a link (http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/) from where i can't download....is there any other link? I see that permroot is little bit risky...
EDIT: I root it, put s-off and put clockworkmod.....THANKS, TY, TY!!!!!!
Unrevoked 3 program gets stuck at "Waiting for root...”
I have been trying to root my device for last 3 days .I have done enough research and gone through various forms .
Following the guide ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035 ) successfully got my device S-OFF using Revolutionary .
In step 2 : according to guide downloaded and tried
“RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3 .35.15.31_release_130814_signed_2”
Got stucked with non-working touchscreen.
Again downloaded and tried “RUU_Buzz_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.24.707.1_Radio_13.5 5.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_161113_signed”
Now touchscreen is working but it is showing android 2.2.1 again .So what's the point of downgrading ?
Run Unrevoked and it is unable to gaining root.
It shows :
Running preboot seq….
Waiting for reboot…..
Running root…
Waiting for root…..( I have waited for 20 mints but it keeps saying this)
[ USB debugging is enabled
Usb drivers are installed
Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone. ]
After all this mind boggling i have reached here :
Android 2.2.1
Revolutionary
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.01.1002
MI CROP-0622
RADIO 3.35.20.10
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" .

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

Hello, I have ran into a problem, I have just unlocked my bootloader on my Desire HD. It says it is unlocked when i go into the H-boot (power and volume down). But the main problem is that i cannot root my phone. I have used various programs(HTC super tool, Oneclickroot and one other) and it says its rooted but when i reboot there is no super user installed, and cannot use titanium backup and busy box beacuse it cant find root, even with superuser from the market. When it was trying to root, it came across a few errors like "failed beacuse system is read only or somthing along those lines, when trying to Root the phone. When i was using HTC Super Tools v3 there were various "adb server is out of date restaring" but the main thing is that it says "cannot find directory su" or somthing like that when i am perm rooting it. I dont understand why this is happening beacuse, and i havnt seen this happen to any one else...
Any Ideas?
Thanks
EDIT
For those who may also have the same problem, this is my solution, that isn't rooting:

Or you can download it from the ClockworkMod website.
Using the Img file you have proivded i have got my desire hd in the recovery using the htcdev bootloader unlocker with S-ON. Thankyou. For the instructions in how i did it here is the website link: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/...-phone-device/
From there i can now put a custom rom! I havnent got a rom working yet so i reckomend a backup of the current rom before doing.
Warning i am not repsonsible if anything happens to your phone but if you have a problem please post below.
This is a long story!
My firend asked me to take a look at his daughters phone as the wifi had stopped working. They had already sent it away to be fixed but got the phone back with big letter saying it had illegal software on it so they (orange) refused to fix the phone. I assumed she had been trying to root the phone but only did half a job.
I now have the hboot unlocked but for love nor money can I get the phone to install any roms....I assume the rooting process hasnt worked
The only reason I wanted to load a custom rom was to see if it rectified the wifi problem.

Im not even fussed about custom firmware if anyone can point me to an installer that might help.
The wifi status says 'error'
Have you used a rooting method???? 'cause just unlocking the bootloader doesn't mean rooting it..... and do install CWM for it
I used the supertool v3 which gave me the rooted message. There any way to check it was defo successfull?

Do you have a "Superuser" app in your drawer?
I was just about to say that the method that gave me rooted meant u had to manually install the superuser but I have no wifi......so no
with the supertool I get a loading scipt message which freezes....well taking longer than advised
Try manually installing superuser, and try using apps that require root permissions. Other than that, i don't know what else could confirm if your rooting was successful.
and how do I manually install it? I have no wifi and this is my first play with a HTC phone ;-)
Try googling for Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed zip and place it on sd card
I think you will need to have cwm recovery installed first, then boot into recovery and install the zip
If you have problems installing cwm, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431969
Zapirkon.....youre a legend......all going to plan thus far...Ill update (when I run into more problems lol)
am installing the CyanogenMod 7.2 but its taking forever on the scrren with the swirling circle
Sweet. All sorted.
I reinstalled the zip file but I restored and deleted the cache which seemed to do the trick. And most importantly it sorted iut the wifi problem and the other little random niggles.....so all in all I saved my mate £130! THANKS to those that helped
