ok this is my problem i have followed ALL the steps in the tutorial to root my wildfire
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035
htc sync is NOT installed
i have successfully gained s-off using revolutionary, but when i use unrevoked (3.2 [the provided one] or the latest 3.32) my phone goes through all the stages, reboots and unrevoked says "waiting for root..." and stays just stays like that. my phone doesn't have the super user app nor root access (i tried using a root access required app)
i have followed multiple sites, spent over 8hours trying to do this, with endless web searches with no success.
so is there a way to fix unrevoked or is it possible to get a pre-rooted android 2.2.1 with htc sense for the wildfire
Did you already install Clockworkmod Recovery via Unrevoked when it asked you to? If Yes, you need not follow that guide anymore. Follow this post:
http://joel5121.blogspot.com/2011/06/wildfire-22-root-tutorial.html
Look at the title
- Rooting Your Phone
If you have not installed Clockworkmod via Revolutionary while getting S-OFF, then you will need to look at 2 points from the above link
- Clockworkmod Recovery
- Rooting Your Phone
Fixed Links for the broken Links in the Guide:

- Recovery for Wildfire - http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz.img
thanks a lot mate, i used the gingerbreak app, since i knew i had already had s-off, and that it looked easier

Hi everyone
I have a bit of a problem, I'm trying to root my phone using the Unrevoked 3 program but it seems to be stuck on the waiting for device.
When I go into the boot mode under in device manager under the Android tab - Android Bootloader Interface. When I am not in the boot mode it says ADB.
I also dont have any HTC Sync or related software installed on my pc and I have set the USB debugging.
Do I run the Unrevoked 3 in boot mode? Very confused.
Thanks
Usman
i had quite a lot of problems with unrevoked so eventually i just used visionary + from modaco to temproot the device but perm root may have been developed for the desire since i have rooted mine
drivers
Did you install the drivers from unrevoked site? The unrevoked method is the simplest of them all for the desire. Install HTC sync, that will install all the drivers than install the ones from unrevoked site. the aplication will do all the work. seems to me that it's not working because of the drivers.
Which hardwarerevision does your desire have? With pvt4 you cannot use clockworkmod-recovery. You have to integrate amonra-recovery. Download it from here:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...-0-0-14-11-2010-recovery-ra-desire-v2.0.1.zip
Then integrate this before in unrevoked with "file>custom recovery" and choosing the download amonra-file. Now start root-process again.
Another option is the way about superoneclick:

Hi peeps, just got through a saga of rooting/flashing my Desire HD, so turned my attention to what I thought was the easier task of rooting a Wildfire.
I've installed/uninstalled HTC-Sync , I've installed the hacked USB andriod drivers, I've set the phone up ready in USB root debugging mode etc....
...but when running unrevoked it seems to go through the motions correctly ...but it never completes. The phone just reboots very slowly and the unrevoked app just sits hanging there saying 'its safe to restart if this doesn't work'.
But when I do my little test of running titanium back-up, no root access given :-(
are there any alternative methods to root which don't involve unrevoked. Such as creating a goldcard like with my DHD?
You need to get s-off with revolutionary, take a look at the reference guide(It's sticky). Sry I can't link it coz I'm on my phone

...tried the 'revolutionary' (http://revolutionary.io/) appliaction.
It connected to my buzz and said "HBOOT 1.01.0002 not supported at this time"
does this draw anyone close to understanding what wrong?
Hey mate.. I hope these links below help you out because I spent countless hours searching all over the place just to need these 2 links..
Apparently the HBoot you have on ur device needs to be downgraded as that one isn't flashable or somthing.. so check these links out and hope it helps you! I was able to fully debrand my phone with these links

Hi all,
I'm trying to root a HTC Desire, but having no succes with Unrevoked nor Revolutionary.
This phone has the following configuration:
HBOOT 0.93.0001
Radio 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Stock HTC ROM, version 2.29.405.5
Phone is plugged in as USB drive and with USB debugging enabled. I'm running Unrevoked and Revolutionary on Linux.
Unrevoked
Using Unrevoked 3.32, the process hangs on "Pushing Flasher...". Nothing happens for a long time, application has to be terminated. (When the phone is unplugged, Unrevoked will say "Failed pushing flasher".)
Update: also tried with Unrevoked 3.21 (some forum posts/blogs suggest this version for HTC Desire), but has the same effect.
Revolutionary
When the above turned out not to work after trying several times, I decided to try Revolutionary after reading some posts about it on this forum. I'm using version 0.4pre4. Revolutionary starts doing its work, then tries to reboot the device, but the phone doesn't go past the FASTBOOT screen (showing options BOOTLOADER, REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER and POWER DOWN). The phone's hardware buttons are locked. After the second try (see below), the buttons are operational, but Revolutionary reports "failed".

The strange thing is that I have rooted another HTC Desire phone with the exact same specifications some time ago using the exact same copy of Unrevoked3 with no problems.
Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong and what I can do to solve it?
Thanks!

with revolutionary did you install the fastboot drivers? read the documentation on the page and there is a link to them. Install the drivers and try again. Then all you gotta do is flash a custom recovery and you can flash away roms. just remember to backup.
Thanks for the message. I'm running the tool on Linux and understand from the documentation that it's self-contained on Linux and no additional drivers are needed. Right? As far as I know I've used both tools correctly.
Any other suggestions on either Unrevoked or Revolutionary are very welcome!
Try a clean sdcard which has only a fat 32 partition and use a stock ROM with no a2sd or Data2sd. Try revolutionary once again with this. Revolutionary does need drivers on windows..in fact their site hosts the driver. Of course Linux doesn't need it..if it fails, try another sdcard with only a fat 32 partition
TouchPal-d from my Desire running Starburst Classic Rom - 450 apps and counting. .
Hello, I have ran into a problem, I have just unlocked my bootloader on my Desire HD. It says it is unlocked when i go into the H-boot (power and volume down). But the main problem is that i cannot root my phone. I have used various programs(HTC super tool, Oneclickroot and one other) and it says its rooted but when i reboot there is no super user installed, and cannot use titanium backup and busy box beacuse it cant find root, even with superuser from the market. When it was trying to root, it came across a few errors like "failed beacuse system is read only or somthing along those lines, when trying to Root the phone. When i was using HTC Super Tools v3 there were various "adb server is out of date restaring" but the main thing is that it says "cannot find directory su" or somthing like that when i am perm rooting it. I dont understand why this is happening beacuse, and i havnt seen this happen to any one else...
Any Ideas?
Thanks
EDIT
For those who may also have the same problem, this is my solution, that isn't rooting:

Hi, I have desire with 2.3 , hboot 1.02. I' ve read many articles about how to root my phone, tried every method described but without success.
Unrevoked - failed to get root, is your firmware too new ?
Revolutionary - bad blocks, error writing to nand
HTC dev method - ruu update app force close while trying to update
Tried to downgrade with pb99img.zip and can't do that too.
Is there any way to root my phone anyway? I really need more space for my apps.
I've had similiar problems two years ago while rooting wildfire but I did it somehow through adb. I can't find any tut how to do it with desire.
Appreciate any help

This is what the folks at Revolutionary said:
[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.
You may be having a hardware problem.
So there is no option to do it in this situation? What about xtc clip?

So I will answer my question by myself. I finally figured it out:
- pushed and runned zergRush through adb
- downgraded os to 2.1 via pb99img.zip
- upgraded to 2.2 with RUU
- updated via OTA to version needed by hboot update
- updated hboot to 1.03
- unlocked with htc dev website
- rooted with htcsupertoolv3
- downloaded rom manager and installed clockworkmod recovery
And now I can enjoy this beautiful phone :victory:
