I have a stock 2.2 HTC Desire:
Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.93.0001
RADIO-5.11.05.27
And I have trouble rooting it using unrevoked. I've tried dozen times, and every time I either get a "Is your firmware too new", or "Backup CID is missing". Tried using different PCs, did a factory reset, and still dosen't work. Can anyone help me?
Thanks, Ivo
Use Revolutionary method (http://revolutionary.io). Read the info document (link somewhere down the page). Install custom recovery if asked. At the end install zip from info page to root your phone. You will be able to flash custom ROMs afterwards.
Best regards

Good sir, is your brain lacking the function of processing data captured by his eyeballs into useful things? Yes? Well that would explain why you had not noticed that the man is already S-OFF.
What you need to do is go to WWW.alpharev.nl , and download the bravo_stock PB99IMG and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. once you've got that, put it on the root of your memory card (as in not any folders), poweroff and boot into the BOOTLOADER (not fastboot), wait for it to check for files, then when it asks you whether you'd like to update select yes.
You now have a fully S-OFF phone with a patched Alpharev hboot that gives you a lot more.
Now what you need to do is flash recovery, there is a guide for you on my guide, look in the contents post to find it.
After all that you can boot into recovery and flash custom ROMs. Don't forget to backup your current ROM before you flash a new one!! And also before you do flash, do a full wipe from \moubts & storage (format: boot, system, data, cache)
Thanks a lot Bortak, everything is working fine now

Hi guys
I'm getting an error anytime I try to do something on my orange-branded Desire. It won't wipe data/factory reset and it won't install a rom/zip.

hboot v = 0.93.0001

Which hardwarerevision does your desire have? You find this out, when you boot into hboot (start phone with pressed volume down and power button at the same time) and read the number in the first line behind the "pvt".
ship s-on
PVT4
hboot 0.93.0001
microp - 051d
touch panel - synt 0101
radio - 5.10.05.30
Tried flashing a different recovery image via clockworkmod and it failed at getting root, complaining of a possible newer firmware revision, which isn't the case because I rooted it a day ago, and superuser permissions app is in the appdrawer.

Clockworkmod does not work with pvt4 desires. You have to flash amonra recovery. Download it here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20471345/SUroot/Tools/Android/Recovery/recovery-RA_2.0.1.img
Run unrevoked again like before, but now integrate amonra recovery before:
File>Custom Recovery>choose downloaded amonra-img.
After this is finished, try to flash the rom you want again.
No warranty for any damage.

Thanks, but I tried that, it fails at "running root", possibly because it's already (semi?) rooted. Superuser is installed.

Hm... i hope, you can also boot into recovery... another idea is to flash recovery with this method:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-flash-a-new-recovery-image-if-you-are-already-rooted/
Last idea, if you used windows, you could try linux:
http://rootmydroid.co.uk/guides/desire/howtolinux-root-your-desire-using-unrevoked-in-linux/
This method works for somebody in cyanogenmod forum:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/7766-flash-recovery-image-from-pc-via-usb/
If these things does not work, i am finished with my knowlegde. Maybe another one has an idea.

hi,
i got the same issue at beginning.
i did unrevoked 3.21 with 2518 cmw, i made i nanbck and was ready to s-off
it s only when s-OFFed that a flash amonRA 201 (i did it with fastboot)
so hehe is the link (before starting the process look at your app manager if an app called Zysploit is in - if so uninstall that app) then run unrevoked linked

hope this help
Thanks guys, I will try both of your suggestions.
Recommend fastboot method
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery "imagename".img
You can also wipe everything from here. More on fastboot here:

I thought one could use fastboot only if one is s-off.
Would this work?

Correct. Missed that bit...!
If I could somehow unroot it and return it to stock, then I could re-root and flash Amon-Ra instead of clockworkmod, which I am assuming would achieve S-OFF too?
Only thing is it's an SLCD Desire (I think, going by the HBOOT) and so I don't want to slcd-brick because I don't have a gold card or anything to restore it.
Or perhaps AlphaRev could help me solve all of my problems?
I really don't know at this juncture
Create goldcard with linux:
http://www.nazriawang.com/2010/04/how-to-create-goldcard-with-ubuntu.html
Then follow this guide:
http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/307683/howto-unroot-your-htc-desire/
Now you are back to stock with s-on and you can run unrevoked with custom recovery (amonra) again. Now, to get s-off you need to use alpharev:
http://alpharev.nl
Nice video tutorial (step four):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
No warranty for any damage.
Can I skip the first two steps and just go straight to alpharev? Then I can install amon-ra and then use that.
According to this tutorial you could skip the first two steps.
But i do not know it with 100 percent.
So i recommend to ask the alpharev guys in irc. They will help you.
Hi there,
A year ago or so i got a desire, rooted it with unrevoked (amazing app, thanks to the developers), flashed clockworkmod 2.0.5.X (can't remember) and leedroid's 2.5.0 (after playing around with some others). However, a few months ago it started freezing without reason. Supposedly, a reformat of the sd card would fix that. Therefore, I backed up, installed latest Clockworkmod (5.0.2, with rom manager RM) and used RM to format the sd resulting in an error. When I booted in recovery I realized I already have S-ON and clockworkmod 2.0.5 (altough RM keep saying me i have 5.0.2). After that I used unrevoked 3.32 in an attempt to fix all that mess. However, the only thing I got was to have an unrooted desire!!!
My actual config is:
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.80.0000
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.08

I have tried using unrevoked again but nothing. Alphrev to raise the hboot version but my phone is actually unrooted. I don't know what to do, any help please!?!
Thanks in advance and apologies for the long speech
Do you have a custom ROM? then you have root. I don't think you quite grasp the concept of what "root" means.
1) You only need to run unrevoked on the stock 2.2 Froyo ROM if you would like to have that rooted.
2) ROM Manager sucks arse harder than a jet engine on full power. Do not use it, do everything manually through recovery
3) You are rooted, if your phone is giving you issues just do a full wipe and re-flash the ROM.
Full wipe:
/mounts & storage
> format boot
> format data
> format cache
> format system
> format sd-ext (if available)
If you would like to flash a different recovery, it is best to do it through Fastboot. For that, you need to be S-OFF. You have 2 options here.
1) Use the Alpharev live CD to S-OFF
2) Create a goldcard, use the latest WWE RUU to update your phone and it's bootloader, then use revolutionary
Then flash recovery.
You can find lots of help on my guide... it's not that easy to miss...
Hi bortak, thanks for the quick response!!
I'm really kinda newbie in these things. Yeah, i have a custom rom and yes, I was rooted. However, I do really think I am unrooted because titanium backup (through superuser app that comes with leedroid's rom) says at startup that I'm not rooted. Is there any other way to know for sure?
As you suggest, I thought on alpharev to s-off an then flash an updated recovery+rom. But I can't if unrooted (I don't know if that matters but my hboot is 0.80).
Is the goldcard+WWE RUU+revolutionary safe in my case?
Thanks a lot!

bortak I've read in your guide (amazing, thanks in the name of humankind ) and found that revolutionary only supports hboots 0.93.0001 and 1.02.0001 but mine is 0.80.0000.
Visionary is useful in case of not having a recovery, but I have clockworkmod 2.0.5. Is there any way to root my desire again so I can use alpharev to get s-off?
With s-off I could install an updated CWM so I can format the sd or install an stock RUU to get the phone to service center, am I right?
Thanks!!!
Dear coriscow
You may follow the below steps:
1. Download and Instal the official Gingerbread update for Desire which is available in developer.htc.com
2. Root the device using Unrevoked method
3. Flash a custom ROM (if you wish)
I hope it will solve your issue.
Thanks-

Shuprio I was about to reflash leedroid 2.5 again (formating sdcard and sd-ext). But I'll do as you say, thanks.
One thing, by 'the official Gingerbread update for Desire' you mean an WWE RUU, right?? As my phone has Clockworkmod but S-ON and is unrooted. However, yesterday I could install a new radio and RIL so I think it'll let me flash a ROM. If not (and i don't get a brick ) I think I'll go with the goldcard
Thanks!!

Just flash a rooted stock Rom or restore your first nandroid.
Fyi if you run unrevoked, it messes up the super user application so you have to clear data on it to get it working again

rootSU that's it, thanks!
My main concern was that the phone was (seemed to be) unrooted and unrevoked could not change that. However wiping the data through the recovery did it
Now I will try to fix all the other thins like flashing a RUU to update the HBOOT. If so use revolutionary
Thanks you all, i'll keep you posted as I do thing
I did it!!! At this point I'm S-OFF (I never was), updated hboot, rooted (I already was but, as rootsu said, unrevoked messed something up), fresh leedriod install and the problem about the phone freezeing randomly seems to have disappeared after a full sd and sdext format. Thank you all for the help, the guides, and so and so
with s-off i was running cm 7.1 on my G2 then decided to put a orig rom so I installed a pc10.img on sdcard and let it go.
after 3 or so OTA updates I now have android 2.3.4
kernel 2.6.35.10 g96de068 [email protected] 18-2 #1
build number 2.16.531.5 cl 159515 release -keys
When I try to boot into recovery mode i get the red triangle with exclamation
If i the hit vol up and power I get Android system recovery <3>
options are reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cashe partition
E: can't open/cache/recovery/command
How can I get clockwork recovery back working?
everything is how it should be... you are back to stock = stock recovery
what does your bootloader show? (s-off and hboot number)
You are also not rooted now. Why would you do this?
If you want a stock(ish) ROM, there are versions in the Development subforum that are essentially stock ROMs, but pre-rooted and maybe a few other minor optimizations (such as deodexed and zip aligned). These are safe to flash.
Unless your intent is to return to stock (such as for warranty purposes), don't ever flash an official ROM on a rooted Android device. At a minimum, you lose root and go back to stock recovery, or the flash won't work. And its also possible you will get stuck in a bootloop.

I am not sure exactly where to start... i saw something about VISIONary removal. Not sure if I have that ( I did see the word vision in the boot screen..Is this it?) and if I do, how do I remove. I don't want to brick it. A quick list of things in the order I need would be very helpful at this point. My previous post shows what I have now....
thanks
try this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
...but because you have already s-off it should work if you follow 'Gaining Temp Root' and 'Temp-Rooting to Backup' sections (after that you should have perm root again).
good luck
visionary is (tries to be) a quick fix to root your device, you would have to had downloaded it to have it, if you never downloaded it dont, if you have remove it. as for the "vision" on your hboot, i got the same! i guess we are both using an htc vision!
OK all is working again! thanks guys ...

What kind of RUU did you flash?! That things pre-historic. Go on my guide, find the 2.3 RUU from
Resources and flash that.
I try that RUU because I want to downgrade my hboot version in order to root the phone with revolutionary.

With S-OFF you don't need root to start flashing.
Look on my guide on how to flash recovery, then backup your current ROM, full wipe, and flash a new one.
Alternatively (much easier), just install this app and it flashes recovery for you, then backup, wipe and flash a ROM.

Hi
I have the same problem. May i know how to find the details solution form your guide?
Many thanks!
Hello, Noobe here. I have read this forum for two months on my problem, but I guess I just don't get it. Lots of have similar issues, but I just can not figure how to put them together in my case.
Problem: HBOOT bootloader error
Goal: To install Custom ROM
Executive Summary:
1. Tried to use AHTK to root, Failed
2. Rooted with success with other toolkit (forget which one)
3. Removed HTC Bloatware, happy
4. Tried to install custom Rom (with CWM Touch installed), no problems, reboot, HTC White screen of Death
5. Recover backup, works fine
6. Notes problem with Hboot (which might be blocking any new ROM)
7. Ask Nice people to help Noobe.
Background Info:
HTC DESIRE HD (UK version)
***UNLOCKED***
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0029
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot
Dec 22 2011,14:28:19
Actual Problem
The Hboot tries to
((From My memory (it is really fast on the screen))
"Check the SD
Searching for PD98DIAG.zip
No image Found!!
Searching for PD98DIAG.nhh
No Image Found!!
Searching for Pxxxx.zip
Wrong Image!!"
......"
I am pretty sure this is the leftover script from the AHTK failure to update the radio and S-OFF
This is does not effect the normal booting of the stock Rom
Questions:
1. How do I reset the HBOOT to remove this script? (if needed)
2. Is this the reason I get the white screen of death?
3. Once fixed, can I just use CWM to install a new rom(using one of the many guides on this site)
or do think I need to S-OFF/update the Radio as well?
Thank You so much for all your help.

1. AAHK is retired, and the server hosting the the files it downloads is pulled, so of course it won't work.
2. You unlocked the bootloader, so you need to fastboot flash each ROM's boot.img each time you flash a ROM. Otherwise you get the HTC screen infinitely.
3. Delete the zip file in the root of your SD card. It's not a script. It has nothing to do with the boot problem.
4. You don't need to update your radio, but each time you flash a ROM you need to flash from recovery, then fastboot flash boot boot.img from your computer. Instructions are in the PDF in post #7 in the thread linked in my signature.
