be careful with this bootloader, it suppose your phone is a SLCD version.
To root it you may use unrevoked with the SLCD compatible recovery image.
Just check around!

I also have a problem rooting my desire using Unrevoked3. After my device get to the point when unrevoked3 says "waiting for the device to boot".... my device just reboots and just loaded my phone into its usual boot. It doesnt flash the clockwork and do what it supposed to do when Rooting.
My HBOOT version is 0.80. Any ideas?

Try uninstalling HTC sync, I had the same problem.

If this doesnt work, try rooting under a ubuntu live cd.

HBOOT 0.92 is what I had after upgrading to the official FroYo ROM with my AMOLED Desire - just downgrade to HBOOT 0.80 and then use unrEVOked and it'll flash fine (first time I used it the other day, 20 mins all in from downgrade to new custom ROM)

What I can Do ??

Use Unrevoked to add Clockwork when already rooted?

My Desire is already rooted (using the old stage 1, stage 2 method) and I use Rom Manager to boot into Clockwork recovery.
A recent scare has made me want to permanently put Clockwork on my phone so I can access it from the boot menu.
Can I use Unrevoked to do this even though I am already rooted? It seems easier than using ADB.
Cheers.

Just connect your phone and run Unrevoked. Nothing more is needed. Done this several times to change between clockwork and amonra, works fine.

dont you think this thread belongs to the Desire Q&A forum? or the Desire General at most?

I tried doing this yesterday because I wanted Amon-Ra as well, but I got a misc partition error while running unrevoked. Ended up installing alpharev and flashing a recovery img that way. Any idea why that may've happened?

klaas4, no idea. Did you try to run it again? Never had a problem at all with unrevoked.

misc partition error happened to me as well (rooted way back with r4 method), also just did s-off instead. May as well, just as quick and easy as unrevoked anyway, and fastboot is great

My guess is that you didn't use unrevoked on first root. I just tried on my unrevoked desire and I can flash other recoveries over it using unrevoked.

Just flash the clockwork img file in your adb recovery and that'll be permanent!

Strangely enough, I did use unrevoked the first time, and still I got that message. The first time I ever rooted my Desire though, was using Modaco's method. Maybe that changed some things on that misc partition, but I used an RUU and rerooted using unrevoked when it came out.
Strange, but true. Anyway, I'm now happy and rooted, and using AlphaRev's fastboot commands to flash and erase the device directly is very helpful. Thanks anyway!

[Q] cant flash clockworkmod but phone is rooted please help

I really need help or direction to where I can get help please. I have been trying root my phone. I followed the guide on here for the Windows method and the Linux method when that was unsuccessful. The phone seems to have been rooted as I have the superuser permissions app (the ninja) and titanium backup worked once I went to the problems section and added busybox. Various other root only apps work. The app root check says I'm rooted but that I don't have busybox installed even though titanium backup says I have it.
My problem is unrevoked will not flash clockworkmod recovery. It says is firmware too new. I am on Telstra branded desire gsm on 2.1 exactly as I got it. Hboot is .75 software version 1.16 I did a factory reset and unrevoked said failed to flash recovery the first time then the next few times the usual is the firmware too new. I tried flashing the recovery using ROM manager but even that doesn’t work. I don’t know what else to do. Any advice????
I have not tried the manual method of installing clockworkmod the way it is explained on the cyanogenmod guide as I don't understand it.
I just don't what else to do. Please help me. Thank you.

hi maniacal26,
it's always better asking before than after having bricked the phone.
so now you are root, i think this is still stock rom. So it's normal that U are not busybox installed into the phone (titanium uses his own titanium... just stick fix the problem into the app titanium to get ONLT to allow titanium working fine)
You can install busybox by the market busybox
about root => get the app root checker it will tells you if U are well rooted
don't use rom manager as it a waste of time... i would advice you to use the recovery amon_RA v2.0.1 work great even to partition your sd card.
first of all you mus be sure that is a unbranded phone or branded phone
branded phone need a goldcard (look into the forum there s a lot of thread about it)
if unbranded u can use unrevoked 3.21 and select in the menu bar a presonnalized recovery which has been previuosly downloaded to your computer.
follow this TUT for branded phone as it seems you ve got one (telsra)
be caution and ask before if any doubt... ask question to this community.
there plainty members who knows a lot of stuff about android.

I have downloaded root check and it confirms I am rooted.
Busybox will not install using that app it says my nand is locked.
Titanium backup works and has installed its own busybox 1.16 even though the busybox app says there is no busybox installed and that it can't install one.
Where can I find unrevoked 3.21 I can only find 3.32 ?
I will make a goldcard now and try again.
Thank you.

Is phone really new ??
Then may be your phone is PVT4 ...
Try using Amon RA Recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839621
Also search unrevoked on xda, its very easy to use, and if your phone is pvt4, you'll also have to use AlphaRev for S-OFF ....

Hope it helps

I bought the phone brand new from Telstra in Australia and never did any of their updates it is stock.
I have tried the unrevoked method that is what has given me superuser permissions it just won't flash a recovery. I have been told to use 3.21 version but I can only find 3.32 so I can't go any further with that st this point. I made unrevoked flash the anon-ra recovery but it just keeps saying is fails to flash is it firmware too new. It can't be too knew as its what the phone shipped with when I bought it in June last year.
Thank you for it suggestions. I do not have pvt4 the bootloader does not say that.
Thank-you again. I will try what u suggested and report back.

i downloaded the telstra one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 the one i chose is http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...4_R4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_123851.exe
when i attempted to run it said i had the my usb cable is not connected first then upon rerunning it, it said that my ruu image is the incorrect one. my phone is a telstra branded phone i bought on a contract from telstra itself. it has to be the right one.... ????
thank you for ur suggestion. do you have any other advice?

hi maniacal26,
about the new... quite annoying since my phone bought from jan2011 is pvt4
i use unrevoked 3.21 you can donwload it by clik the name from my dropbox
the following link is amon_ra v2.0.1
from now, i use unrevoked to root and instal a recovery (wich would be cmd 2.5.3 (you can select file and choose another recovery like amon ra)
as my desire is unbranded I've never used a goldcard. so I could say more that is saying in the xda's tutorial.
from my own, i used unrevoked to root and instal a recovery - made a nand backup follow up by the alpharev 1.8 s-off.
once done i used fasboot methode to flash the recovery
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery c:\adb\amon_rav2.0.1
i bcp up all sd card on computer followd by partionning sd card with fat32 + ext3
from there i choose a custom rom (from my own - leedroid - which is the more stable and complete) that's all
since every thing work fine
(i advice to run alpharev on usb bootloader)
hope this would help

I'll put a shot in the dark here.
Download the CM7 for the phone.
If you're running ROM manager, Flash to the newest clockwork recovery first.
Boot into loader,
Wipe all data and cache memories, including Devalc
Then flash

Thank-you to everyone who tried to help me. I gave up for while and tried again. I installed amon-ra I just could not get clockworkmod to install to the phone kept saying I had too new firmware. When I tried to restore back using the original firmware off the HTC website it also said my firmware was too new and that I had to use one of the newer roms they had to offer.
I used unrevoked but chose amon-ra as alternative recovery. Worked instantly. Everything has gone smoothly since then. I am running cm7 with recommended radio. I just need to s-off to get more internal memory available.
If anyone has problems like this just amon-ra, it even worked using win 7 64-bit whereas the other way it wouldn't even work using ubunto.
As a side note I have noticed a massive slow down (compared to the fresh cm7 install speed) on the phone once there is too many apps installed. It seems to be more about number rather than size. Regardless of how many, if any at all, apps have been moved to the SD card. I found there was a Tom that said it fixed this but I'm just gonna stick with cm7 anyway. Ill just run less apps and for an update.
Also been running phone on 1113Mhz now and its not a problem in my use with overheating in case anyone was a little afraid to test out.
Thanks to everyone again and I hope this post can assist someone else who is ready to break the phone.

AlphaRev 1.8 error!! Please help!!!

Hello everyone,
I am new to this whole android business. Ok so I just rooted my Mytouch 3G Slide and was going to use AlphaRev 1.8 to gain S-off on my device. Well everything was going good and then suddenly I got an error message saying that HBOOT 1.02 is not supported!!! I have been through hell and back just to get my device rooted and with that finally becoming successful I am hoping someone out there can help me with either another way to gain S-off or tell me how I can downgrade my HBOOT. That is another problem... I tried to downgrade my HBOOT with a method on another post here on XDA developers and I got an error during recovery saying that HBOOT can not be rolled back!!!! WTF Someone please help me with these issues I would greatly appreciate it!!!!!!!

The new HBOOT cannot be downgraded, so if you have that, S-off isn't possible as far as now. Yup, we're out of luck D:

Press vol. Up and power button and then select update.zip...

I tried that and it says something along the lines of update.zip not found E:signature verification failed istallation aborted. I can never get into cmw recovery. Also how did u get ur slide to grant s-off?

busybox
also does anyone know why busybox wont install on my slide?

first, check if you have update.zip in the root of your microsd card.
as far as s-off goes: if you have the new HBOOT (version 1.0+), then s-off is a no go until somebody figure it out. if you have the old HBOOT (version .52 or something), check AlphaRev and their instructions.

[Q] My phone is half-rooted

Ok, yesterday I was quite bored of my phone because it was pretty slow and there were many apps on it. Cyanogenmod looked like a good option so I decided to root my phone using unrEVOked 3.32 in this guide. UnEVOked didn't work, it came up with a "is your firmware too new" message. Everyone was saying how good revolutionary was, so I downloaded that and it came up with a message (cant remember what). I checked for Superuser app and tested to see if my phone was rooted, but all the apps said I wasn't. But when I go to the HBOOT menu, it says Revolutionary and S-OFF (before I used Revolutionary it said S-ON). I think this means my phone is half-rooted and I need to find a way to go back to the stock HBOOT and S-ON because my phones screen won't turn off (it just is very dark when you press the power button but you can still see the lockscreen).
In short I need to find a way to get back to the stock HBOOT and get S-ON again. I am also still quite a noob so I won't understand very technical instructions. Plz help

Revolutionary simply gives you S-OFF. And if in the last step, you selected Yes to install Clockworkmod Recovery, then it install Clockworkmod Recovery. To get actual root (ie Superuser), you must get the binary and flash it seperately. (Which is available here: - http://goo-inside.me/superuser)
Anyway, the procedure to get back to S-ON is stated here:
