I have a HTC Desire A8181 that now updated to Gingerbread 2.3.3 and i want to Root it, is it possible?
It was rooted before, but was sent back to HTC under Warranty and was replaced with a completely stock phone.
Would i just use the normal unrevoked3 method?
As far as I know it's absolutely possible, however you should use revolutionary

I have a 2.3.3 original ROM too and i cant update too

Hey,
I tried as you suggested with revolutionary but when I Installed the new ROM from Sandvold beta 0.2.1 version the phone is not coming up.
I would highly appreciate if you can help me out on this.
Thanks in advance.

Have you performed a full wipe befor flashing the new rom?
If not try to perform a full wipe (wipe custom data + wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache) then flash the rom again. You can try this anyway if you want

The root guide is in the wiki, once rooted I suggest 4ext recovery, once both are done download the ROM you want and flash it via recovery

No issues what so ever mate.
When I found this method it was a god send, worked first time on my first attempt at rooting.
I have since flashed RUU's and revolutionary sticks around so no need to re-do this method.

No..everything works fine for me.
I didn't have any problems, just read the instructions though

nope ! never had problems. let the revolutionary do its thing and your next step is flashing the rom you want..
No problems whatsoever, just get the right drivers, and do what it tells you to do.

No but i remember having to run through unrevoked again after flashing an RUU. Possibly to add root/SU app again as i think the RUU i used removed the super user ninja app. But Revolutionary stayed on the HBOOT screen. And unrevoked took like 2 mins to complete
make sure ur RUU is version 2.1 or lower in order to use unrevoked tho
No, at the end it will ask you if you want to root your phone as well, not a big deal
I had... because I installed a 2.2.1 froyo rom, and due to that, i was unable to reinstall newers rom versions. It kept the S-OFF, but kind off "broken". The problem was solved, using this tutorial! hope it will help U.

Yes running a ruu will unroot your phone by placing you back onto the stock HTC rom with android 2.2.1 froyo. And unbranded means that the rom doesn't have carrier branding, like 02 vodaphone 3 tesco mobile ect.

Just out of curiosity, are you going back to stock for warranty reasons or because your selling the phone?
If not did you know that there are custom stock roms which allow you to keep all the benefits of root and have a stock rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318 Look in this thread for Sense based roms (Rempuzzle or DK custom rom being the best 2) and if you need any help flashing them post here, someone will help.

Its not because i am selling the phone or something. Its because i wanted to unroot and then root again and have a rooted HTC Wildfire with stock rom. I will find a xda unroot guide and then i will post it here and ask if its a right unrooting method. I dont wanna get my phone ****ed.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA
You don't need to unroot to flash a new Rom, most roms are already pre-rooted, a stock Rom would need rooting, busybox a custom kernel etc etc installing the stock roms I mentioned would already have that part done for you and can be flashed from clockwork mod recovery, just download a sense based Rom put it on your sd card then reboot into recovery by powering off the phone, then press volume down and power to get to hboot use the volume buttons to select recovery then press power, once in recovery perform a backup, then select wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache, next choose install zip from sd card and find the rom, install it then reboot into your fresh new HTC sense Rom.
Those roms are custom though so they do have a few slight differences to a fully stock Rom such as new wallpapers that kind of thing.

Use the link i posted above
- Dowload the RUU
- Connect your phone to PC and run RUU
- This will downgrade your phone OS to eclair (android 2.1)
- Let it do the bizniss and when it boots and says finished on your PC,
you will have a ****ty phone. (but dont worry) because this is what
you want
- If it doesnt work, use another RUU and run it. Just make sure it says
2.1.x.x.x in the title to make sure u go back to android 2.1. and not
1.4 or something.
You will not have CM7 after this, or any remnants of it, it will just look like basic android. It will not be branded, i.e. it will not have t-mobile splattered all over it.

Lmao I'm glad you solved your problem but can I just say how much of an asshole I think you are! Everyone who has posted in this thread have just been trying to help you achieve what you wanted to do or like myself offer an alternative which would involves less work when rerooting your device which you did say you wanted to do.
Custom sense roms do not **** up phones especially the 2 I mentioned, its muppets like yourself that don't read instructions carefully and thoroughly, before I rooted my device I made sure I had all the tools and know how to put it all back to stock beforehand. Perhaps you should do the same next time.
My HTC Desire "breaks" most times I'm trying to install a Custom ROM.
The only ROM that has worked so far was Sandvold Beta 0.11.
I've also tried: D-Sense 4.0 Alpha 0.4, Cool 3D Runny v7.
Every time I flash those ROMs via Clockwork Mod Touch 5.8.0.2, the installation process finishes without any problems, but when I reboot the phone it hangs at the ROMs boot screen forever (not the HTC screen).
I have a GSM Desire (Bravo) S-OFF, Stock Hboot 6.93.1002, PVT1, Radio 5.11.05.27
I hope someone can help me as I'd love to have the Desire running ICS and some kind of HTC Sense...
Thanks in advance for any help.

Sd-ext configuration?
I'm a bit ashamed to say, but how do I find out what my SD-Ext configuration is?
I haven't changed it, so I assume it's standard...
PS: I have now tried MIUI Android 2.4.13 which (wait for it) worked!!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Most Sense roms require ext partition as they store their data there because of the limited internal memory Desire has. No roms that have ext in their requirements will work this way.
Find some guides on how to partition you SD-card.
OK, I have created a 1GiB sd-ext with ClockworkMod and both ROMs install but they still don't want to boot.
I've checked the SD card in a PC and there is a 1GiB ext3 partition at the end of the card.
What am I doing wrong?

Basically, I've tried the custom CM7.1 and CM9 Alpha 4/5 ROM's to no extent have any worked.
They just get to the load screen, and the animation keeps playing over and over.
It does this for all of the ROM's that I have tried, so i must be missing something
I've got my phone rooted, with S-ON still. I used htcdev.com to unlock it and some form of rooting program to root it.
I can check when I get home seeing as i'm at School right now.
I'm hoping to get ICS working on it, so I can finally use this Bluetooth Keyboard.. Sigh
