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)
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

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
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

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.

[Q] HELP! Root desire hboot 0.93 without flashing a new rom/possible?

Hello there xda-devs!!
I own an htc desire A8181 (amoled i think) and i fell into the temptation to root it. The problem is that i updated OTA into 2.2 froyo and my hboot now is 0.93.00001 on which the unrevoked method wont work (at leat for me it did not, as it showed : "validation error: backup cid is missing" ). I have installed the modified drivers and my desire is unbranded. I was hoping to find a method to root without losing any data or settings and since everyone showed as an alternative hboot downgrade and custom rom, so i thought " what if i downgraded hboot but i did not flash a new rom ", but the question is "is it possible?"
As you may have figured out, i dont know much about rooting/flashing etc, although i have some experience from flashing kaiser and some others, but i am willing to learn. If anyone could give me a hint/link/suggestion or solution to my problem it would be gratefully appreciated
PS thank you in advance and sorry for my english

AFAIK, the latest unrevoked works fine with the 0.93.00001 - quite sure I read this in one of the threads.

Thanks for the quick response! Actually these posts were the first that i read when i first thought of rooting and i believe that i have correctly followed the steps of the how to for the unrevoked (version 3.22 straight from the unrevoked site) and i tried twice on different computers(both running win xp home x86). As for the alternatives on benko's tut, none of them supports OTA 2.2 froyo...

After thought and some reading, I decided that I will downgrade to 2.1, root using unrevoked and then flash to prerooted froyo. Actually, since the point is not to lose settings or data, does anyone know a safe way to back up everything and restore them to the new rom?

I have the same model as you mate and the latest unrevoked worked for me, I downloaded the one straight from their website.

Had you also updated OTA with froyo? If yes then why doesn't it work for me? I am sure that the phone is unbranded. Maybe it's something else and not hboot? My current specs are:
*Hboot:: 0.93.001
*Radio: 5.11.05.27
*Rom: 9.29.405.2 (got the update a week ago)
The only thing that I did not follow in the unrevoked guide, was that I didn't select hboot while loading the drivers, because I could not, no matter how many times I pressed the volume down button.I just waited for it to change to usb plug. Could that be the problem?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Something else I noticed the first time I tried with unrevoked, was that in the revoked window it showed "triumph" for a moment and then it rebooted for the last time and then it showed "validation error..". Strange is that it never showed it again not even on the 2nd or 3rd try...What could that mean?

Thanks for the tip, but this is about BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON while my desire is PVT1 SHIP S-OFF and it says that these are able to root but not flash a Rom, while I can't even root.. and the errors do not match..
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

If you're S-OFF now then you don't need to root - if anything you might be already!
As you hadn't said anything about the rest of the HBOOT I thought I'd mention it but I'm on 0.93 and can root with no issues

And what does it mean? I am already root and I don't know it? And why does then the unrevoked method not work and where is the superuser app?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

If the Superuser app isn't there then you're not rooted, so that clears that up...
Go read the S-OFF thread in Development and post a query on there. It sounds like you may have a facotry unlocked bootloader which is extremely rare but best go and confirm it in the forum

Ok. I'm going now. Thank you Eddy and the others for your great help
*forgot to mention: the s off I wrote was after the failed tries with unrevoked(before I hadn't noticed if it was on or off) also the phone was destined to be a demo in a store*

try installing the HTC sync drivers and then remove HTC sync and try again.
If possible switch to Ubuntu and root, its much better.

I have already installed the HTC sync drivers and removed the HTC sync, but I will try reinstalling..You think that through Linux it might succeed?

[edit]: tried again in windows removing reinstalling etc. and in slax live cd. Still no luck as the "validation error: backup cid is mising" wont stop appearing
[Second edit] I'm root now. Followed turkeys' tut

Hi I recently tried using unrevoked 3.22 and it really didnt seem to work as I got a "validation error: backup cid is mising". However after a reboot I found myself in clockworkmod recovery, so that part seemed to work. However straight afterwards I tried to start the phone, I discovered had no access to SD card and any attempt to access phone via USB also gone, it seems Bluetooth is also gone. However I got the SD card back again using FASTBOOT, has anyone got any ideas how I could possibly get USB back?

Hello cletus. I may not know the solution to your problem, but usually posting some further info about your device(HBOOT, radio etc) and the exact steps you made before that problem, might help someone that would like to help
I really hope that you find a solution to your problem

[q] rooting htc desire 2.2 froyo hboot 1.06

Just thought I would make a new thread on here so someone could help. I have searched for HOURS trying to find a why and even tried combining some methods with the same end result. :-( Surely between us... "the world wide web" we can find a way. I'm not a genius but I learn very quickly. Any help is greatly appreciated. So far it says it can't be done, but I have faith that we are better than that. So what do you think?
My desire has the updated android 2.2 with the new hboot 1.06 not rooted and s-on.

hi there,
head over to http://revolutionary.io/ and s-off your device, (make sure you have USB debugging selected in settings on your phone, and when asking for your beta key select: Desire CDMA, and select your 1.06 hboot), then download the superuser from http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip and flash that in recovery
if you need any help pm me

I have tried that. One of the requirements is that it must be rooted. I can not root my phone using Revolutionary because it is not supported yet. You can S-off the desire Hboot 1.06 but I cannot find ways to root and you must be rooted before you s-off to my knowledge. Please correct me if I am wrong. I will try again though. Thank you.

Unrevoked 3 runes through everything PERFECT until the very end. It says Desire was a TRIUMPH and under that then states "internal error nand root?" I just want to root this so i can flash and install cyanogen 7.

Your device does not need to be rooted to run revolutionary,and it is supported I checked

When I do that it gets stuck at waiting for fast boot.......

done.. had to do it a bit tricky but good to go now. fully rooted with s-off running cyanogen 7.0.3

[Q] Installing Cyaongene mod on Wilfdire

Hi all,
I want to say, that I've read many of articles/tutorials of what I'm trying to do. Anyway I'm trying to install Cyanogene mod (ROM ? ) to my HTC Wildfire. I've downgrade it before from Froyo to Eclair (for some reasons ). I was trying to root it with Unrevoked but it doesn't work. I also try Revolutionary but it doesn't work too ! Anyway I'm trying to install ClockWorkMod Recovery now . I've install it via ROM manager, but it doesn't work (seems it's installed but stock recovery is enabled ). My HBoot version is : 1.01.0001 . S-ON (I think S-OFF should help but I don't know how to disabled it ). I'm getting crazy with this.
Please help me anyone.
Greetings.

Unrevoked will not help u and it is necessary to s-off ur mobile...
What exact procedure u adopted for using revolutionary?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

unrevoked
Thx for reply.
I know that I should have s-off before I use unrevoked but I can't figure out with it. I ran unrevoked and also revolutionary on two platforms : Linux and Windows xp. I just enabled usb debugging in my htc and then pluged in phone, and then ran unrevoked/revolutionary as root.
Anyway is there only hardware method to gain s-off on wildfires ?
Greetings

Go to revolutionary.io or just Google it....download window platform file and fill up the form...do it cautiously while entering ur mobile serial no. Which can be found on the mobile box....copy the no. Generated...it is alphanumeric known as beta key...now plug ur mobile to window pc debugging mode on of ur mobile....run revolutionary and when ask enter beta key cautiously not mixing letter o with number zero...press enter u will have s-off...many user had get s-off with multiple time use of software

I tried it mamy times but I fot following error: " failed to root ". Every time...

Dude you have to get S-OFF using Revolutionary or get S-OFF using an XTC Clip hardware box. If you don't, no matter how many variations or versions of Unrevoked you try, you will ALWAYS get an error.

Yea, but revolutionary doesn't work and I can't figure out why. I heard about xtc clips, but it's expensive tool. Anyway how you 3xeno get s-off ?
Greets

I got via Revolutionary. And if you put proper details, it may be possible for members here to help you. You know, simply saying "It doesn't work" doesn't enable anyone to help you in anyway. There can be 1001 reasons why something doesn't work.

Ok, so what info do you need ?
Here is some details which I know :
HBoot version : 1.01.0001
Android : Eclair 2.1 (downgraded from Froyo 2.2)
Phone : HTC Wildfire (Buzz)
I think that's all info about my phone. Anyway I tried to use revolutionary from 2 different PC's on Linux and also on Windows (Win 7 and XP , Linux was Ubuntu jaunty jackalope and natty narhwal ). I'm getting following error an every time : "Failed to get root ;< " , on every try.

Post everything you get on the Revolutionary Screen. From the start to the end, for a beginning. "Failed to get root" on Revolutionary? It still sounds like you are using Unrevoked.

i can be silly at this point and sorry for that bt did u installed android windows driver before running revolutionary???

Ankurcul : yes of course
Anyway I finally get S-OFF with Revolutionary tool whitch is realy working
I shouldn't downgrade my android to 2.1 - that's the point. That's revolutionary couldn't take s-off. I've upgraded it to 2.2 (Froyo) again and revolutionary works pretty nice
I've also installed cwm recovery , and I'm going to install cyanogene .
Thank you all for helping me
Nb : I've got help on revolutionary irc.

k...just hit thank button if u really found me helpful lol...

Of course I've installed them
Anyway I finally get S-OFF with Revolutionary tool. I get help from Revolutionary team on their irc . I want to thank you all for interestig in my problem and for helping
I'm installing Cyanogene mod on my HTC Wildfire right now

[Q] Unrevoked 3 program get”s stuck at "Waiting for root...

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,
