Hi!
please help
I did today the s-off succesfully. it did boot properly and i could normally use the phone.
after that, i read this kindofa tutorial..
I tried it with the n1table hboot from the alpharev site.
after that, its stuck on the Why so serious bootscreen.
Recovery works fine, fastboot also. I tried flashing back the stock hboot, but nothing helps.
Of course, i wiped everything besides the sdcard.
Anyone with any experience or knowledge on how to get it back up running?
Why did i even start doing that?
- low storage
You have to be using a ROM that is made to work with the N1 Table. What ROM are you on? Chances are you're using one that needs the original table to work
CyanogenMod 6.1 RC
Is that compatible with the N1Table?
According to This it does.
Does anybody know what the last original RUU is that is supported by unrevoked?

Hello there xda-devs!!
I own an htc desire A8181 (amoled i think) and i fell into the temptation to root it. The problem is that i updated OTA into 2.2 froyo and my hboot now is 0.93.00001 on which the unrevoked method wont work (at leat for me it did not, as it showed : "validation error: backup cid is missing" ). I have installed the modified drivers and my desire is unbranded. I was hoping to find a method to root without losing any data or settings and since everyone showed as an alternative hboot downgrade and custom rom, so i thought " what if i downgraded hboot but i did not flash a new rom ", but the question is "is it possible?"
As you may have figured out, i dont know much about rooting/flashing etc, although i have some experience from flashing kaiser and some others, but i am willing to learn. If anyone could give me a hint/link/suggestion or solution to my problem it would be gratefully appreciated
PS thank you in advance and sorry for my english

AFAIK, the latest unrevoked works fine with the 0.93.00001 - quite sure I read this in one of the threads.

Thanks for the quick response! Actually these posts were the first that i read when i first thought of rooting and i believe that i have correctly followed the steps of the how to for the unrevoked (version 3.22 straight from the unrevoked site) and i tried twice on different computers(both running win xp home x86). As for the alternatives on benko's tut, none of them supports OTA 2.2 froyo...
After thought and some reading, I decided that I will downgrade to 2.1, root using unrevoked and then flash to prerooted froyo. Actually, since the point is not to lose settings or data, does anyone know a safe way to back up everything and restore them to the new rom?
I have the same model as you mate and the latest unrevoked worked for me, I downloaded the one straight from their website.

Had you also updated OTA with froyo? If yes then why doesn't it work for me? I am sure that the phone is unbranded. Maybe it's something else and not hboot? My current specs are:
*Hboot:: 0.93.001
*Radio: 5.11.05.27
*Rom: 9.29.405.2 (got the update a week ago)
The only thing that I did not follow in the unrevoked guide, was that I didn't select hboot while loading the drivers, because I could not, no matter how many times I pressed the volume down button.I just waited for it to change to usb plug. Could that be the problem?

Something else I noticed the first time I tried with unrevoked, was that in the revoked window it showed "triumph" for a moment and then it rebooted for the last time and then it showed "validation error..". Strange is that it never showed it again not even on the 2nd or 3rd try...What could that mean?

Thanks for the tip, but this is about BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON while my desire is PVT1 SHIP S-OFF and it says that these are able to root but not flash a Rom, while I can't even root.. and the errors do not match..
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
If you're S-OFF now then you don't need to root - if anything you might be already!
As you hadn't said anything about the rest of the HBOOT I thought I'd mention it but I'm on 0.93 and can root with no issues
And what does it mean? I am already root and I don't know it? And why does then the unrevoked method not work and where is the superuser app?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
If the Superuser app isn't there then you're not rooted, so that clears that up...
Go read the S-OFF thread in Development and post a query on there. It sounds like you may have a facotry unlocked bootloader which is extremely rare but best go and confirm it in the forum
Ok. I'm going now. Thank you Eddy and the others for your great help
*forgot to mention: the s off I wrote was after the failed tries with unrevoked(before I hadn't noticed if it was on or off) also the phone was destined to be a demo in a store*

try installing the HTC sync drivers and then remove HTC sync and try again.
If possible switch to Ubuntu and root, its much better.
I have already installed the HTC sync drivers and removed the HTC sync, but I will try reinstalling..You think that through Linux it might succeed?

[edit]: tried again in windows removing reinstalling etc. and in slax live cd. Still no luck as the "validation error: backup cid is mising" wont stop appearing
[Second edit] I'm root now. Followed turkeys' tut
Hi I recently tried using unrevoked 3.22 and it really didnt seem to work as I got a "validation error: backup cid is mising". However after a reboot I found myself in clockworkmod recovery, so that part seemed to work. However straight afterwards I tried to start the phone, I discovered had no access to SD card and any attempt to access phone via USB also gone, it seems Bluetooth is also gone. However I got the SD card back again using FASTBOOT, has anyone got any ideas how I could possibly get USB back?
Hello cletus. I may not know the solution to your problem, but usually posting some further info about your device(HBOOT, radio etc) and the exact steps you made before that problem, might help someone that would like to help
I really hope that you find a solution to your problem

How to downgrade to 1.32
HTC - Quietly S-OFF. Again.
About:
The problems started when HTC released their 1.72.405.3 OTA update. That update could not be rooted, and many people got stuck in stock roms. Now a downgrade method has arrived! After this process, you can use any root (+ S-OFF) method you want. Basically your device will be just like any other Desire HD with older build version.
System requirements:
HTC Sync (or ADB drivers)
Desire HD with build number 1.72 or higher
How to downgrade:
IF you have a branded device, you have to make a Goldcard. Use "mmc2" instead of "mmc1"!!
Download the attached file and extract it
Get stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip ROM
Connect Desire HD to a computer. Charge only, USB Debugging enabled!
Open up a cmd and go to Downgrade folder, execute:
If you got "#" in the result, you have temproot! Proceed:
Put PD98IMG.zip to your SD card. You can close the cmd and set connection to disk drive.
Reboot while holding volume down, it will go to the bootloader
Follow the instructions
Done. You can now proceed with old S-OFF methods, and remove the PD98IMG.zip from your SD. I recommend Radio S-OFF for new users.

Works the same way to just put stock Rom on and failing that just run the 1.32.405.6 ruu on your pc it should do it for you as the I did it when I started from scratch

I have a very good suggestion for you...Flash ARHD 2.0.9 (or any other custom roms you like)...forget HTCs ROM. You will love your DHD in that way...and your phone will be more happy and more yours!!!
thank you bro for your reply i am already runing 1.32 rom on my DHD !! so can still go with the method you send me still? thank you so much bro
thank you man for the suggestion you gave me ... but i really want first to get the stock rom or even learn how to flash with my dhd . best regards and god bless
hello again i just wanted to say that today i tried to turn the fastboot and i downloaded an stock rom : 1.32 then put it on the sd card and enter the bootloader then update ... it worked great and everything went back to normal exept that i dont have the amazonmp3 app ???? i dunno why ? and i went into setting and tried to get the software update while searching it poped up with : your phone is up to date , there are no updates availablee for your phone ..... please anyone could explain to me why=?
Hello!
I flashed my Toshiba Folio a year ago using a guide from this forum and it worked brilliantly, and because my HTC Desire Z was getting slower by the minute, I decided I wanted a custom ROM on my DZ.
I used the HTC Dev Unlock to get root, that went all perfectly.
After that, I installed Clockwork Recovery Mod and tried to flash 2 different Custom Roms (Android Revolution HD™ 7.0.0) and CyanogenMod-7.
What I didn't realize was that I needed S-off to flash a custom Rom, and now I only get a white HTC screen at startup.
It is still possible to get in Hboot/fastboot and into the Clockwork recovery mod, but I can't find a solution to what to do now. ADB isn't working in hboot/fastboot and the ways to get S-off are with ADB. Can I get my DZ back into original state safely, or is there another way to get S-off?
Thank you all in advance!
Ps: I also tried flashing a lower (1.34) ROM or a Stock Rom, but they don't work

I want to thank NIPQER very much for solving my problems on #G2ROOT
Hi all,
I playing around with my desire bravo and ran in to a problem.
I use this phone temporary since my one x is back for repair.
I am looking for a smooth rom.
I had CM 7.0.2 on cmr2 hboot with s-off
I ran RUU to latest available version.
Now I need to re-root.
The recovery part went fine (after trying a bit with unrevoked).
Now I need root. I added SU.apk (dunno which version exactly) to sd via working stock rom without root.
I want to run file in recovery but it keeps saying "E: Can't mount /sdcard".
I know I can unbrick usb in 4EXT recovery but in CWM I can't
Any help (in plain English please )will be much appreciated cause I am a noob!
Thnx in advance
Ralph
