[Q] Downgraded to 2.1 but cannot root...

Hi guys,
I recently got my unbranded and unlocked desire, and as soon as i turned it on and connected to my wifi, the system found an upgrade (to 2.2) which i allowed it to install...
I then realised that this was not very wise if you want to root the phone, so i downgraded back to 2.1., with the 0.80 HBOOT.
I then tried to follow the instructions in the relevant thread to root the phone but when i go into step 1, it gives me the message "remote 43 main version check fail" and i think the update.zip does not get transferred properly.
I go through the rest of the instructions and on step 2, when the update.zip is being verified, it fails the verification and the process ends there...
I have tried with 2 different SD cards and it is the same for both.
Can anybody suggest a solution?
Thanks a lot.

You need to use unrevoked3 to root, the old method won't work on your phone.

Hey Teppic,
Thanks for your response.
I just re-upgraded in order to repeat the whole process.
Should i just use your downgrade tool and the unrevoked3 to root?
Is there a newbie-proof tutorial for unrevoked3?
Thanks once again

You didn't need to upgrade again, but yeah - my tool will downgrade you and then you can root with unrevoked3. It's easy, just enable USB debugging and plug your phone in!

Success!!
Thanks very much Teppic! Unrevoked worked and my Desire is now rooted!!!
Cheers!

[Q] Help, how can I unroot my unrevoked3 froyo desire?

Hi all,
I have bought unbraded unlocked HTC Desire and it came with Android 2.1.
I then upgraded to Android 2.2 using the original firmware with OTA method, then, rooted the phone using unrevoked3 1 click software, everything works fine and the phone is rooted with bootloader version 0.93.
Problem is that I need to send back my phone and have to unroot my phone back to original factory firmware, I tried the RUU method and I am getting Error [140] during the flashing process, I thought that my phone was gone *gulp*, rebooted it and it loaded as if nothing happend.
Please help as I really really need to get it back to the UNROOTED factory firmware state.
Thanks!

check the desire dev forum, there's a complete guide to rooting and unrooting there

[Q] root

hello all
i have a question are few
first i have a hd2 that i have flasht and i like that very much
now i have a desire hd and i see sometimes something like root the question is is this the same as flashing ?
and how do i do that and what is it that i can do more when i root de desire
and what do i have to do and where can i find the stuff
someone help me pls

hi it would take me awhile to explain so here is a good place to start reading about root/s-off and flashing new roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846248
but if your desire HD has the new firmware 1.72.405.x (check in setting>about phone>software) this software can't be rooted and you would need to downgrade the software to older version(1.32.405.x) which can be rooted you can find how to downgrade if need be here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
so if you have older firmware don't update it until you have radio s-off
hope this gets you started.

thanks for your explanation

[Q] having trouble downgrading my DHD [SOLVED!]

Hi,
as the subject suggests i'm having trouble downgrading my DHD, i thought by unlocking my bootloader with the official unlock installing an other rom would be easy... but it doesn't seem to be as strait forward as i've hoped.
so now i've decided to actually downgrade and root my DHD that way, the only trouble is... that i can't seem to downgrade.
I tried all methods i could find without success.. so now i'm stuck... can any one please advice on this matter?
the versions are:
Android: 2.3.5
HTC sense: 3.0
Software: 3.12.405.1

Hi,
I have the same issue phone has same software versions and I have just recently ( last 2 days ) unlocked the bootloader , tried load of things just does seem to want to root.
Would appreciate any help on the matter
thanks

still stuck, no solution found as of yet please help
solved it i think i used the htc supertool to re-lock the bootloader and when i entered the hboot it detected the older GB rom on my SD and started the downgrade

[Q] issues about DHD downgrading from 2.3.5

Hi guys,
I have tried to root my DHD which is on android 2.3.5, software 3.12 but failed downgrading the device
I have followed the tutorials (trying to make a goldcard etc). and I have checked my steps repeatedly so I dont think its my problem. Then I read some threads about the impossibility of downgrading from software number 3.12.
anyone help to clarify on this?
