]Hi all!
I have rooted my own Desire Bravo GSM, and trying to do this with
another phone.
It all went well on mine, but I get an error on this.
This is the RUU File (that gives you a bit info about the phone):
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release
and the hboot is 93.00001 (Same as mine phone)
I run ubuntu on my laptop and used this One-Click from Unrevoked.
All went fine on my phone, but the error I get on this other is
Code:
"Backup CID is Missing"
and when I run revolutionary I get this:
Code:
Zerging Root... this might take a minute or so.. Root acquired!
Sending in Caroline...
Retrieving Caroline from certain doom...
Retrying Caroline...
Caroline failed, but had this to say: An error occurred while writing the partition.
Errors (if any):-
mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00000000
mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00000000
mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00000000
mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00000000
mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00000000
mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00000000
Edit: Trying an older one-click from Unrevoked I get this in terminal (and still get Backup CID is Missing):
Code:
ERROR: n = -1, errno = 19 (no such device)
rawadb_open: remote closed the connection looking for target "reboot"
Edit: Answer in my last post if anybody else has the same problem.
Tried with a different PC?

Have tried, no answer yet.
Got the answer from Revolutionary's irc channel:
Code:
badblocks is If you get "Not writing bad block at 0xXXXXXXX
errors while running Revolutionary, you have a hardware error on your NAND.
We have no workaround for that at the moment, sorry.
Nothing to do, can't be fixed. Damn.

Hi guys.
I have a question..
I want to get s-off but do i need ADB driver to do it ? If yes. Can you show me how to install ADB .
THANKS
Yes, you need two "types" of drivers to ensure there are no potential driver problems:
- Download HTC Sync, Install it and Uninstall it after that. We just need the drivers.
- Hacked HBoot Drivers. Guide Here
I had followed exactly what you said but while doing it, it just said :
Acquiring root (method 1)...
Sending in Caroline...
Retrieving Caroline from certain doom...
Retrying Caroline...
Caroline failed, but had this to say: An error occurred while writing the partition.
Errors ( If any):-
mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00020000
mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00020000
mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00020000

What wrong with that ?
I got HBOOT 1.01.001
I have seen a few members get that, but have no idea what it implies. You might want to ask the Alpharev X team themselves:
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=alpharevx
So a few of us wildfire users are trying to use Alpharev X to get S-off and are met with the following frustrating error:
Acquiring root (method 1)...

Retrying Caroline...
Caroline failed, but had this to say: An error occurred while writing the partit

mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00040000
mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00040000
Press (almost) any key to exit.
This was pasted from another post, I'm sure the error I get is 0x00020000 rather than 0x00040000, but either way the issue is bad NAND and alpharev team are aware of this. My question is how many other users are experiencing this and has anyone had any success with getting past this? I dont think its very high on their to do list, but I'm sure if enough people are experiencing this they will take it more seriously.
I'm on a Telstra branded Wildfire (A3335) with HBoot 1.01.0002, so I wonder if its specific to this model or is it completely random (and simply bad luck)?
I've done a downgrade using the downgrade guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132028
This got me HBoot 1.01.0001, but the problem persisted. It must have taken me 20 attempts to actually get this guide to work and I think the reason for this was also because of the bad NAND. during step 1 (gaining temp root) it would complain about not being able to write to the flash (sorry don’t have any exact error messages). The fact that it eventually worked makes me wonder if continuously running Alpharev X (and rebooting phone after every fail) would eventually work..
Would be good to hear suggestions and please reply if you are also getting this error or have managed to find a work around.
have you solved this issue yet ?? i got same problem but there is no way to solve it so far !
I have an HTC Evo 4g and I tried to root it using the Revolutionary tool and I got the same error message. My phone was upgraded to gingerbread OTA without my permission. Has there been a fix yet?
I am encountering the same problem and it's quite annoying
Tried both unrevoked and revolutionary methods without any success. Unrevoked comes back with: "Error: failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?" whilst revolutionary comes back with below:

In order to get revolutionary to work, I also ended up downgrading my hboot to 1.01.0001 from 1.01.0002.
In case this helps, my phone is on the three network in the UK. Looking forward to a solution to this issue since quite a lot of people seem to be encountering it.
never root??...
Desire(A8181) Hboot 1.02.0001, firm 2.3.3 stock. Have a 100% same problem. NO root, no s-off.... i Killed my brain. Nothing helpe, absolute.

I don't think you will have any problems unlocking via HTCDev. I also think that there is a thread regarding this somewhere in the q&a section forum.

Hi Everyone,
I just rooted my Htc Desire by using unrevoked and have superuser permissions in my app menu. Now before I would like to install a rom which I have never done before I believe I would need to turn the s-off. When I try to do that through revolutionary 0.4pre4 I am getting errors as below. I did install Htc drivers, restart my laptop & phone but still the same error keep coming up. I also downloaded the Hboot tool called alpharev but not sure what to do with it. Please guide me and I would really appreciate it.

S-Off Instructions
The AlphaRev HBOOT tool (assuming you got it from here?) from what I saw on their site is an .iso file, which you have to burn the image to a CD, then follow the instructions for the link above. My gf got a USCC Desire, so using Unrevoked/AlphaRev's Revolutionary, I was able to S-OFF and then root all at once. Pretty easy.
I have not tried the method posted in this link. It's an explanation of what to do with the .iso file.
I'm assuming you used the AlphaRevX tool? If you didn't then do so. Also, did you read the FAQ on the main page with the AlphaRevX download links? If not then I suggest you do as you've likely not installed the Android drivers that are included in the FAQ page.

s-off problem
hello, i am trying to s-off my desire with revolutionary but i get the error msg :
caroline failed, but had this to say: an err occured when writing partition
errors:

i tried revoked too and alpharev with no luck.
i updated with the official RUU to 2.3 and the 1.02 Hboot but still the same errors.
i read it might be hardware issue.
i actually want to use the stock rom but just want to use a script/prog to increase the internal memory.
any solution to s-off? or any script that needs no root to work?
thanx!

Hi, you don't need to be s-off to flash a rom. You can just install it from clockworkmod recovery (which will have been installed during unrevoked rooting process).

Its just what it says, bad blocks in your device NAND Memory. (Implying it is defective). You can Google for "Bad Blocks MTD" for the more technical aspects of it.
This is what Revolutionary Devs say about the issue (Taken from a Google Search where someone asked the dev about a workaround to this)
[22:52] <@Revolutionary`> badblock is If you get "Not writing bad block at 0xXXXXXXX" errors while running Revolutionary, you have a hardware error on your NAND. We have no workaround for that at the moment, sorry.

Is still valid this issue?
Now I'm trying to root a wildfire and I've this error...
Maybe I've to unlook the bootloader by htcdev?!?!?
regards
Htc Desire/Bravo.... I have the factory Froyo 2.2 installed on my Desire right now but would like to upgrade to the ROM released by HTC on their developers site. The site seem to be down or buggy. Has anyone got this file hidden away somewhere? I cruised through a lot of sites including this one looking for this file but all I found were custom roms or links to the HTC site that doesnt seem to work. I am not against using custom roms but I havent had luck with this in the past and am not real excited about traveling down that path again. Thanks for any help pointing me in the right direction....
This one is stock, just some updated apps, no a2sd, no nothing, but it's rooted...
http://www.fileswap.com/dl/rzzpsUX22Y/nlooooo_stock.zip.html
flash it like a custom rom. If you'd like the official RUU someone else is going to have to jump in... ;-)

I have now tried several different Roms but all have failed as has rooting. The Revolutionary root tool and factory ruu update both failed part way through and the Rev. shows some sort of failure to write to certain memory blocks. I will have to go through them all again to get the specifics. Anyone else ever have these issues with so many methods of making changes to their phone? The phone works fine on the present software so Im not sure why I'm having these issues....

The biggest problem is that you have desire CDMA (bravoc with different hboot from bravo). Most desire roms are not compatible with CDMA just like classical RUUs.
Search a bit more, plus read instructions and device compatibility given on revolutionary site.

The stupid s-on won't change and I have read everything I can find on how to change it. I have considered the gold card method of doing this and trying to change the bootloader version but Im not sure I am willing to go through the headache. So this may be my indicator to get a different phone to play with.

Mate, reconsider what I told you, you have Desire CDMA or codename Bravoc, it's quite different from regular desire and you need specific roms and RUUs, also official 2.3 RUU is not working on your device.
Look at your bootloader everything is written there.
Go here, Desire CDMA section and try roms that are specific for your device:
