describe what the program does..it shows something? its auto close?
what steps u did?
any screen-shoot?
how we can solve that without informations?

all I can tell you is to make sure you're typing in the right number when it asks for the serial (on the website).. just to make sure, take out your battery, and copy the number labelled S/N: from the sticker.
then once you've got the beta key, copy it, and when you run the revo program at it prompts you for the key paste it into cmd (press the little cmd icon on the top left of the cmd window, edit, paste)

i enter key saya accepted then i get
zerging root....this may take a minute or so then its says failed to get root with sad face
press almost anybutton to exit.
thats all it says, phones on in dbugging mode right? not sure whats going on

solved. unrooted and tried all over again now im s-offed!!! but what does it mean!! just more time to spend fiddling with my phone my mrs already hates me!!

Did you read the thread before posting? The OP said it did not. So your post was, with all due respect, completely senseless.
@dan:
Installed htc drivers from revolutionary website:
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
Check unknown sources in Applications>Settings?
Set connection type to "only charge" and "never ask" in settings for connection type?
Rebooted phone after this (sometimes, when the phone is on a long time, some processes can disturb)?
Did you run the tool with administrator rights?

thanks guys

revolutionary wont download on my computer
the download starts and everything but then once it's complete I get this error
"C:\Users\OFWMFS~1\AppData\Local\Temp\NCY8O+KY.zip.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
Try again later, or contact the server administrator."

This is desire forum... 1.27 is not supported, you need to look at sensation dev forum, there is a way but requires htcdev unlock which avoids warranty, will post you link as soon as I get home

Hello.
I tried to run this utility on my HTC desire, under Linux (ubuntu) with this :
sudo ./revolutionary
I've been asked for password and so on and when trying to "do the job" here is what I got as return:
Root acquired!
Sending in Caroline...
Retrieving Caroline from certain doom...
Retrying Caroline...
Caroline failed, but had this to say: entation fault
Any idea why it happens.
I have CWork 2.5.0.7 and Evervols JB 4.2.2 installed ROM. I just want to S-OFF my phone.
App is started with normal state of phone (ROM loaded).
if I run it from recovery o gpt message:
Waiting for device...
Found your device: /sbin/sh: getprop: not found (/sbin/sh: getprop: not-/sbin/sh: getprop: not, Android: /sbin/sh: getprop: not, ROM version: /sbin/sh
Regards,

I think u have to be on stock sense ROM before running revolutionary.
Try flashing an ruu and retry

If it is the only solution to be on GB then i'll stick to present situation/state.I'll see if there is nearby box procedure for s-off.

You only temporarily have to be on GB. You could make a nandroid backup now, then flash the ruu and run revolutionary. Then you can restore your nandroid.

Maybe some of you guys have updated your HTC Desire rom and upgraded you HBOOT To 1.02.blabla that was dumb because you where to be unable to root it... Now this problem solved by a Team namely Revolutionary! credits at the bottom so lets get started!
Step 1: Go to the website of revolutionary cant add a link because i am new Just google Revolutionary
Step 2: Scroll to the bottom and Click download for Linux or Windows (depends which platform you have)
Step 3: If you have started the download then there will be appear a box; fill in that box you information like this:The image is in the attachment
Ok that serial number is fake tog get you real serial number: Options/About Phone/Phone Identify and you will see Device Serial Number Type the same in the Revolutionary box and you will get a beta Key This is you Own Key Everyone gets a different one.
Step 4: Now Plug in you phone in to your computer and enable usb debugging.
Then Run the revolutionary.exe file and it will detect you phone.
And it will ask your beta key. enter it and it will root your phone install a custom recovery and s-off it.
Step 5: Click on the Thanks button

Open the zip, read META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script, and look what it does..it only add some files to ur system (it even remove it first, in case u already have an older version of those files)
Thanks mate.
Worked fine for me (HTC Desire) - painless in fact .... just as well, as unrevoked3 didn't
Took a few minutes to get S-OFF and CWM, then from there just a simple flash of the Superuser zip file.
Thanks
Which is the best method of rooting?
alpha-rev or unrevoked??
AlpharRev does not give you root. It gives you S-OFF. To get root, you need to use unrevoked (or Revolutionary + flashing superuser.zip afterwards).
Sent from Sandvold's ICS using Transparent XDA App
AlhpaRev and Unrevoked3 do not work on this HBOOT (HBOOT 1.02.0001). At least never worked on mine. Plus, there are much more steps to s-off the phone and root it using the older way (Alpharev and Unrevoked3).
For our HBOOT 1.02.0001 Revolutionary is really a bless. It worked perfect on mine and that only with few clicks (of course, provide PROPER information on the site to get a key). Getting SU access after installing the latest SU from recovery was piece of cake of course.
I got 3.0.7 (from the upper link of course, just delete the file so you can go to the upper directory to get a list of all SU versions).
I cannot say about older HBOOT or newer, but this Revolutionary tool is really the easiest and most simple way to S-Off your phone and get recovery, and from there to install SU is just few steps away (put the downloaded .zip file to SDcard and install from there ... cannot be easier).

Tried with my HTC Desire, but aftre step 4 I am getting the message "waiting for device" and unable to proceed. Please help!

It's not a crap hboot. The utility didn't work because the drivers weren't installed properly.

[Q] Bricked my phone?

I had rooted my Desire about 1 year ago. Updated to GB 8 months ago (forgot which ROM). Friday my phone stopped Sync'ing all mail/twitter/fb etc. Figured it was time to upgrade to a new ROM. Since I was still S-On, I ran Revolution and got to S-Off. I then wanted to change to 4EXTRecovery, but couldn't get it to take. So tried to run the updated CWM and that didn't upgrade the Recovery version (2.5 something). I figured I would start over from RUU, so ran a RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe. It failed with an Error 130 Wrong Device. So I figured I need a Telstra version (branded phone), so ran RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Telstra_WWE_2.26.841.2_Radio_32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14_release_150162_signed and I get an Error 140 bootloader. The phone is now at the black htc screen with 4 exclamation points. When I unplug the usb, it shows the following:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.00.0000
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYMT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.14
Mar 29 2010,21:34:33
RUU
I think I can still AndroidFlash it, but it gives some FAILS in the log and doesn't change the above info when trying the AlphaRev hboot files.
Any suggestions? I have been searching for 2 days on ways to get this fixed. I can't get to fastboot or recovery, and ADB doesn't list the device.
Cheers
Download the downgrade.img from alpharev
Pull teh battery out of the device, replace.
Hold Back and press power
At the 4 triangles (you are actually in fastboot) Connect USB
Fastboot flash hboot c:\downgrade.img (or whatever the path\name is)
Once complete, pull battery again
Back and power again
Run Correct RUU
Also, if you want to flash a stock ROM, you can flash
RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread).exe
and you can download from HTC dev site, but first we wait news from you that you fixed the boot problem
When I run AndroidFlasher with the downgrade.img selected as bootlooder I get the following:
1. When clicking "I'm in fastboot", the window just sits there and nothing happens (waited 10 miutes).
2. Without "I'm in fasboot" ticked, it gives "Error your phone is not plugged in or drivers aren't installed" then "Error, your phone is S-On"
Cheers
As you posted above you are s-on you can not flash downgrade, you need to flash correct ruu

Not to worry. You're s-on then. We had to try as it states hboot version 0 which doesn't exist so we don't know what's true and what's not. Continue with my steps

Okay, thanks for the help! I had to register an account on dev.htc.com and then go to the "Kernal Source Code" page. The top link was the one needed, "HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade" and after downloading the rar file and extracting it, there was the file "RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread).exe" inside. Running this fixed the issue! Now to re-read all the steps to do the S-On/Root/4EXTRecovery again from start to finish!

Do you mean AAHK (Advanced Ace Hack Kit)? If so, could you post the output from when you try to use AAHK?
you can do it thru windows, just remember to turn off all security features or the root will fail.

sri, that is pretty clear, isn´t it? Have you installed the driver included in the tools>windrivers folder with the phone unplugged?
If you are not sure, then uninstall the drivers, unplug the phone. Install it again and then plug the phone and let it install correctly. Make sure that you use the oem cable and if that is not working try using a different oem cable and a different 2.0 usb port (it won´t work on a 3.0)
And make sure to
Disable any antivirus you have before unzipping the aahk

Sorry for my stupid question, but how do i distinguish between USB 2.0 and 3.0 on my laptop. Since I am also having the same problem while running AAHK. Also, what should I do if I can't find the htc driver after installing it.

Normally the usb 3.0 ports are blue
About the driver: Why would you want to find it? The important thing is that it is installed so your computer recognizes the phone correctly.
But anyway, on my PC I have a folder in the start menu named HTC, subfolder HTC Driver. You could use that as an indication for the driver being installed.

[Q] Wildchild Issues, please help a new user

Dear everyone,
My phone is a device originally from Bell Canada. The specs are
Marvel PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-0.90.0000
MICROP-0451
RADIO-7.46.36.14M
Apr 8 2011, 17:45:10
Android v. 2.3.3
Software number: 1.36.666.5
Model: PG7611000
I was tempted to try the legendary Wildchild but couldn't reboot it to recovery mode with a properly prepared sd card.
Then I thought perhaps I still needed to unlock the bootloader. I went to the htcdev site and followed the steps.
I chose the right version RUU for the Bell 1.36.666.5 but an error notice said model ID was wrong.
I also tried to get the token ID. it failed for sure "Command error" so can't get the Token ID
When I tried the Wildfire_S_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0. The same thing happened: "Command error"!
Yes, the HTC SYNC was uninstalled. The debugging was on.
I didn't want to bother others until I had tried everything I could think of.
With no knowledge on android, I have spent 10 hours struggling with different approaches found online. Need some help now.
What procedure should I follow for my phone if I want to use Wildchild?
Thank you!

Thank you so much, Sir.
I followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533639 here and applied that recovery file but nothing happened. I still get the wrong model ID message. Then I rebooted the phone and found out the HBOOT was not changed.
So far there seemed to me two solutions on the forum.
One is to update the HBOOT to an unlockable higher version then update the RUU and get it unlocked again. Or do some trick with something like ROM 1, which I have no idea how to get access to.
Extract the rom1.zip from the RUU, copy it to the root of the phone micro-sd card, rename it as PG76IMG and turn off the phone. Pull the battery out and reinsert it. Hold the volume down key and press the power on. It should boot into the bootloader. Then it will ask if you would like to update radiov2, choose yes and after reboot, you should be s-off...

By RUU, do you mean the .exe fine I downloaded for updating? if not, which version? where can i find it or a guide?
My phone is s-off when i got it. do you mean it will be s-off again after update and reboot?
Cheers.
Update. i found them. are you sure i should use rom1? some threads say rom2....

Oh... I think I make a mistake. That's for s-off only. For flashing the wildchild ROM, you need to install a recovery other than the stock recovery (e.g. CWM recovery). And then root your device. Then you could install the ROM from the CWM recovery.

I got the WC3 on my phone with ROM 2 and ROM 1 -tried both but the "unlocked" pink line is now above the specs. I tried the RUU program. It says "model ID error" again... WC works now but how can i "unlock" it? btw, the phone is still s-off but locked.
I think because it is "unlocked" so LinkSD doesn't work. It says ext2 may not be supported by your device. Try FAT32". What is wrong? I followed the WC3 instruction created by the developer - 1 FAT, 1 EXT2 and 1 SWAP. Another problem I have is after move 1 apps to the SD card. It is full. I have a 4 G card with 1.2 FAT32, 512 Swap and the rest is EXT2.

[Q] Need help in Updating my HTC desire to jelly bean

Hi,
I am using HTC desire for more than 2 yrs with the same factory settings apart from upgrading the OS to 2.3.3.
Now i wish to upgrade my phone to jellybean 4.1.2 from cynogenmod.
Since, i've no idea abt how to root the phone, i tried unlocking the bootloader as defined in this forum and i followed the steps as in the HTC site.
but when i enter the fastboot command in the cmd, it shows waiting for the device and no other thing appears.
It would be really helpful to me, if someone can explain me step by step procedures to root my phone and upgrade it as i i've no technical idea about Android.
As of now, am in the 0th step of rooting my phone.
So please start from the scratch and guide me.
Thanks,
Sadique

The beta key is fine, u did something wrong. Re download the revolutionary tool, run the tool and plug in ur phone, and in the revo command window it will say enter beta key for xxxxxxxxxxxx <----- use that number in the comnand window to generate ur beta key on the website. Then copy/paste it from website to command window.
I think i need help forever!!!

The mistake was on my side only.
i did as u said and it worked. Thanks for your help.
But now am stuck with the following scenario,
Waiting for fastboot...
in the revolutionary screen.
its stays on this stage like forever with the white screen in the phone.
I ran the revolutionary as an admin, enabled usb debugging and disabled Fastboot in settings.
How can i proceed now?? plz help!!!
Have you installed the HTC Fastboot drivers for Windows ?
Have you HTC sync installed ? (if so, you might have to uninstall it)

Yh u need fastboot drivers installed like said above. Check the desire all things root guide in my sig, then on that page click the link for s-off and root with revolutionary, everything thing u need is there.
