Develop Bugs

I have a problem

Soooo. I've had my HTC desire (gsm) for about a year. I rooted it. Put new roms on it. Flashed it hundreds of times. But I got bored. So I thought is go back to stock HTC 2.3 sense.
Wrong.....
Now no matter what I try I can re-root it.
I've tried alpharevx.
I've tried apps.
I've tried fastboot.
I've tried hboot.
And a few other I can't even remember.
Sooooo. My question is this. How do I root a phone that doesn't want to be rooted and only wants to run stock 2.3
Any help greatly received.

I've tried revolutionary as well but I get the message. "did not get root this time. This sometimes happens. Please try again."
I've tried 12 time in a row.
Still doesn't work.
Any idea or links or even PM

Hmm revolutionary should work, as far as i know its the only 1 that can s-off hboot 1.02.0001
How r u using revolutionary? is ur phone booted up and usb bugging enabled? dont mean to offend u with those silly questions lol its just strange it dont work. Now saying that, maybe revolutionary does'nt work on all devices, i dont know. im only guessing. also i know that theres a few other programs that r supposed to do the job like SuperOneClick and there mite be one or 2 others but i really cant tell u if they work or not or if they cause problems, i really dont know.

Try unrEVOked_3.20…just 3.20!

And if I remember one more
Even the Htcdev boot unlocker.

Man, keep your advise to yourself... seriously.
via xda app

I did it in the same order as you are trying now. First got stock 2.3 and then wanted root.
I remember it was easy. I just googled for a how to and I don't even think it was on xda, just a random page. I had the same hboot, gsm.

With your hboot ver revolutionary is the only option. Period.
Revolutionary only gives SOFF and allows you to install recovery.
You have to flash the su zip seperately to get root - superuser
One simple thing to try would be to change the computer, install hboot drivers and try revolutionary again.
Hope this helps.

Huh?........., can you explain what you mean? English is not my first language, but I am not dumb. In fact I got scholarship . I tried unrooting via SuperOneClick before and it works, so I'm just helping.

still not rooting
hmmm
so heres my plan
1) ruu stock 2.2
2)try as many different root gadgets i can get my hands on
3) if no luck try on mac instead of pc
4)if no luck. im buying an iphone. . . . . .grrrr

Flash extra zip files

Not sure if this has been asked before.....
However, I would like to know if you can flash extra zip files like boot animations over a custom rom. I am running HiApk sense 2.1/3.0 ROM and everytime I try to flash something else it installs it and then when I reboot my phone nothing happens!!!?!!??! Is it possible to do this?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

Bootanimations are zip file but u dont flash them. U have to use root explorer or simular and put the bootanimation.zip in "data/local" or "system/media" then set permissions to rw-r--r--
Looks like this
[x][x][_]
[x][_][_]
[x][_][_]
x = checked
Then reboot
Just make sure and check the exact location & permissions of ur original bootanimation then replace it with the new 1

Turn off the phone then hold in the volume down button + power and that will take u too bootloader menu and tell us what it says.

Lol PVT 1? 4?
Anyway u can use revolutionary to s-off. Very straight forward and easy. U have to setup ur computer to "speak" with ur phone. Install HTC Sync then uninstall Sync only, leaving the HTC Drivers installed then u have to install the fasboot/hboot driver.

[Q] Help! HTC Buzz: Wildfire -Revoulutionary- HBoot 6.01.1002

Hi,
I am a new to XDA Developers and I only registered because I have a problem with my HTC Wildfire (Buzz). I need to downgrade my hBoot so I can unlock the bootloader. I didn't know about the bootloader having to be unlocked so I used Revolutionary. I had hboot 1.01.1001 at the time and it was a successfull root. I tried to boot to Clockworkmod Recovery to install Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 when a HTC phone picture came up with a red triangle with a '!' inside it. The specs of the phone are as follows:
Android OS: 2.1 (Eclair) (I downgraded from 2.2.1 recently)
hBoot:

Why do you need to use HTCDev?? By doing that you void any chance of your warranty.
You need to flash a recovery.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Assuming recovery is named recovery.img and it is placed in your fastboot folder.

I tried using ROM manager but as I said the picture comes up. What fastboot folder and recovery.img?

You need a fastboot folder and need to install the HBOOT drivers. See the first few steps of my rooting guide.

I've been having trouble all day trying to root my new MetroPCS HTC Wildfire S! I got to the last step where I need to send the Unlock Token.bin file to my device but Command Prompt gives me the error: ”unable to connect to device” (or something close to that). Then I tried again with the device all the way on (at the launcher screen) and command prompt just says ”waiting for device” indefnitly. I can't find
Another topic with this exact problem. Please help! Or, if you have a method for me to root without unlocking the bootloader would be great! Thank you in advance!
Also, I tried Unlock root, HTC Root, and Superoneclick 2.3.3, I also tried GingerBreak, NONE of them work!
