Just rooted using the method in android development, everything went fine, i got s-off but when i tried to flash the CWM Recovery but i get the "an error occurred while attempting to privileged commands" error. Can someone help me please?
If you're S-Off, look up Amon Ra (There's a link if you click on the Evo guide in my sig) and use that.
Matter of fact, since you're newly rooted, you NEED to read that guide

Ok i hope that there is not a thread with this i searched but i did not find it...
There is a lot of people saying that they found som eproblems with unrevoked 3.21 because of ClockworkMod...
I have some questions about it since I am about to root my desire with unrevoked 3.21.
The first question is ween i rrot my phne it will install su (i think thats a fact), and then it will istall ClockworkMod Recovery Image. Is this rigth?
Then i will like to ask what is the problem and wen does it happend (i read something about loop in recovery).
And finnaly wy do i need to use ClockworkMod if i dont want to install a cosltum rom?
1) unrEVOked works like it should, it's stable in it's new release.
2) It gives you root, but not a custom recovery image
3) If you don't plan on installing any ROMs or take any backups you don't need ClockworkMod
Bootloops normally occur when there's something wrong in the ROM.
Not from using unrEVOked.

This is exactly what I dont understand. I just rooted my desire with unrevoked 3.21 and not as you say the recovery image has been installed and it is version 2.5.0.7, I guess the latest.
Then I read other posts where people suggest to use rom manager and one of the options is "install clockworkmod" ... but if I have already installed it why should I need it again? Does this mean that the recovery image installed by unrevoked could be deleted somehow..?
Ok, my question would be :-
"How do I use UnrEVoked3 to JUST install su and superuser.sdk and not install a new, unwanted, recovery img?"
I just want the Desire rooted but not otherwise modified from my carriers default configuration.

I tried running unrevoked3 on my unbranded HTC Desire. It currently has HBOOT 0.80 and its a PVT1 model. I had previously rooted it with a guide before unrevoked was out, and used a flashable zip of clockworkmod to install ROMS. it currently has an MCR one.
I wanted to install Oxygen, And followed that thread's suggestion and wanted to install AmonRA's recovery. That led to trying unrevoked.
Now, when using unrevoked, i get to the part where it says 'waiting for root.. safe to restart if this does not work' - I have to remove the battery and start over there, does not restart on its own. After that, i get the 'internal error cannot find misc' error and nothing special happens, i go back to my normal ROM, and the recovery is the stock android one.
Any ideas?
From what I can see, I think you are trying to root over your current root?
I think your best bet will be to unroot with a stock RUU then reroot with unrevoked.
Yup, Restoring to the latest RUU and running unrevoked3 again worked. Thanks!
Glad I could help
Hello All, I had my htc ovo rooted with unrevoked 3.22. After flashed it with the 3.70.651.1 rom, I lost root and clockwork recovery; S-OFF still shows though. Now I could not reroot it with unrevoked since it was stuck at "Waiting for root". I also tried to flash it with a rooted 3.70.651.1 rom (renamed to update.zip and booted from stock recovery mode (red triangle and !) without any success. After I pick install from sdcard/update.zip, it said something like "Signature is not verified. Aborted". Should I wait for an updated unrevoked 3.2# or there are some manual rooting using adb shell. Any advices will be much appreciated by me. Thank in advance.

That way doesn't work, at least from what I've seen. All over that thread are folks that can't get it working on their 3.70 EVOs
Not sure if this will work with your 3.70 builds....but since you say you still have S-OFF, you have to reload the custom recovery back onto your phone and the superuser app. There are instructions over at the unrevoked forever wiki page here. Under Reinstalling an official recovery page, you can find both Amon_RA and CWM PC36IMG files for download and link for superuser.
Hi, running wildfire (buzz), froyo 2.2.1 hboot x....0002.
I have tried following the big messy sticky guide in general forum. I think I have AlphaRev and CWM installed. The HBOOT shows 6.01.0002, S-OFF and I get CMW when I go to recovery. But when I try to test if I have root when I boot into htc sense the test app says no. No superuser or root. Am I missing something? Every single guide I have found here says alpharevx or revoked should give root..
The guide says to RUU from 2.2.1 to 2.1. Is this necessary when I want to install a custom rom?
Any and all help much appreciated.
Unrevoked will root the phone along with installing custom recovery by a nand exploit.
But alpharevx neither roots the phone nor installs custom recovery. It turns off the nand security to make rooting (+ installing custom recovery) easier. So if you made s-off with alpharevx, then you need to root and install custom recovery on your own (which are very easy)..
And you dont need to downgrade with an RUU. Just go with this link..

Also check the complete wildfire index thread from dev section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318 .
Edit: oh.. didn't get you clearly. Looks like you have custom recovery installed. Anyway, you can check the above link for rooting. And to install custom roms, you just need cwm recovery installed. Downgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.1 (using RUU) is not necessary in any case. And to root your stock rom just use superone click root method or gingerbreak.apk or you can also install Su binary (= rooting) from cwm recovery. And you dont need to root a custom Rom because custom roms will be already rooted. Another thing you need to remember is some roms need cwm version 2.x while others need cwm version 3.x or above. You need to shift between recoveries according to that need . On how to do that, check the index thread.

Flash Superuser Binary in Clockworkmod. There's absolutely no need to use any RUU / Unrevoked if you have got Clockworkmod Installed.
Download SU Binary here:

Flash, and check for root again. This will give you a rooted Stock ROM.
Alternatively, if you just want to change ROMs , you dont need to be "rooted". Just a Custom Recovery like Clockworkmod will do. So, if that's your ultimate goal, just flash the new ROM. Again, dont touch RUUs/Unrevoked.
Thank you, both for clearing that up. I must say the sticky post is way way over complicated and dead wrong on the process. Since it's a sticky it needs to get cleaned up by someone who knows about it.
It's not a sticky actually. (I assume you are referring to this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035)
I posted my views there but everyone seems happy with that, so whatever suits the individual I guess.
I have posted an overview of the process here (This is a sticky thread, so I kinda hope you are not referring to this one ):

Hi, I have the same problem as micnolmad.
I'm running wildfire:
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.01.1002
I used AlphaRev to get S-OFF, and change from HBOOT 1.01.0002.
I thought it was meant to convert HBOOT to 1.01.0001, but for some reason it's now 6.01.1002. Not sure if this is important? At least the phone's now S-OFF, which should enable rooting?
However, booting into HTC sense, rom manager syays I do not have root!
I have clockwork 3.0.0.6 but when I use it to install cyanogen 7.0.3, the installation says successful, and then freezes on start up.
Any ideas?
Did you perform all the wipes in clockwork (Data,cache,Dalvik Cache) before flashing your new rom, these are important and cause problems if not done!!
Also read this thread, the posts above mention flashing su binary to get root.

Hi, I wiped Data, cache, Dalvik Cache, and have superuser and CWM v4.0.14 installed. On flashing cyanogen mod 7 ROM it installs successfully, but freezes on bootup?

Hi
I'm trying to update ClockworkMod recovery in my Desire from version 2.5.0.1 to something newer. I've tried using Rom Manager to do this, but it didn't help. I've also tried running unrevoked again, but after completing the process, recovery still says it's version 2.5.0.1 . Any ideas how to update it?
I want to update it, because current version has some problems with ext4 partitions.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
best bet is to s-off and fastboot flash
Ok, but why unrevoked is not working? The point is, that i can try to S-OFF it, but I'm afraid the result will be the same (apart from having S-OFF phone).
because you're trying to root a rooted phone. Installing recovery is only part of the process and running unrevoked on a rooted phone only sometimes works.
Unrevoked flashes 2.5.0.7, unless before connecting the phone, you have selected an alternative recovery image you downloaded on your PC and if you are already rooted, it wont even do that sometimes.
If you're definitely running unrevoked properly and selecting an alternative recovery and it still doesnt work, then you have to do what I said.
Ok, thank you for explanation. I think i'll pass with S-OFF for now.
