[Q] Unable to use Unrevocked on my HTC Desire !

Hello,
I wanted to post in dedicated post in development section but I don't have enough message posted for that !
I'm trying to install a custom ROM on my Desire (non operator version, stock rom). So I rooted it with VISIONary+ and it looks to have succeeded. Then I installed RomManager to install Clockworkmod ! When I select Flash Clockworkmod in RomManager it states after few seconds that it downloaded it but not that it flashed it When I reboot with recovery mode I get the default android menu and not the one of Clockworkmod. What's wrong ?
I tried also with latest version of unrevocked but it hungs up at end stating "Root failed: perhaps your firmware is too recent !"
Here are all infos of my phone in Boot:

Hey I was facing similar issues few days back, use the RUU for your device to restore it to factory settings and then try unRevoked again.
also this is my post -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970566 hope this helps

To confirm, the 2.29.405.5 software is what was on your phone when you got it? If so, use unrEVOked 3.21 as this seems to work for most people (although I had no issues using 3.32 with the same version as you)

Yep I tried unRevoked with old version of amon_ra but no better luck, so I'm going to flash it to RUU and try again. Where should I find the RUU ? I just need to copy it at root of sd card and then in boot mode I select that file and that's it, right ?
Update: I found the link in forum with RUU for Desire Considering mine is an official HTC phone, not branded by any carrier, I should use one of these I suppose but which one :
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release
Update bis: these are all windows update programs so no way to use them for me as I run on Mac, and in Parallels on Mac, Desire doesn't appear as USB peripheral I can attach to Windows when it's in boot mode
Thanks,

Nope when I got it it was probably in Android 2.1 or 2.2 not sure and then I did the OTA update offered by HTC Latest one is few months away !

I had issues with the latest unrevoked and I was getting a failed message. When i removed my sd card everything goes well.
So give it a try without your sd card, who knows it might work for you too!
P.S I have the same HBOOT and android version with you.

Why are you usung unrevoked anyway? Since you are s-off you can easily flash a new recovery via fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
I don't think you can use unrevoked on an already rooted device - but not sure though.

no idea, I don't know how or why it's in S-Off mode ! I have no remember to have tweaked it in past !
Vincèn

Did you use Alpharev to S-Off?
When trying unrevoked, did you uncheck "disable security" (or similar) before hitting the button?
EDIT: Sry, I hit reply instead of edit.
It is really strange that you are S-Off. Maybe you are one of the few people having eng-bootloader from stock?
Probably runnung an RUU is your best bet.

oky so I reinstalled RUU 2.29.405.5 with success ! and then tried to run Unrevoked and it finishes with same error as previously (Backup CID is missing, I ran it without security Options !).
If I try to run UNrevoked with Amon_Ra 2, I get Failed to get root. Is your firmware too new ?
With Amon_Ra 0.93 same error about CID missing !
With Clockwork mod 2.5.0.7, same error about CID missing !
I'm desperated It looks like my phone can't be upgraded easily Any other ideas ?
Thanks for all,

Got it with that link I could not use your link for unrevoked 3.2 as I'm on Mac so I went with your link to extract misc.img, edit it with hex editor and replaced it in phone and then run Unrevoked latest release on it and worked straight That's too cool Now I need to download correct Cyanogen rom as it looks that the one for Bravo is not going on Desire I thought it was the correct one ! I'm waiting for Cyanogen website to come back to life as it's down from here for now

[Q] HELP: Need to Unroot to Stock I have HBoot 0.93 Any help greatly appreciated!

I have EVT2-3 SHIP - S-OFF
HBOOT 0.93.0000
Radio 2.15.00.11.19
PRI 1.90_003
I gotta go back to stock and take it in for warranty I've been having terrible problems with my Evo restarting constantly, screen not coming on, freezing up. I've flashed many roms and gone back to roms i used before that have been stable and same problems persist.
I heard u have to go back to HBoot 0.76 but im unsure which one to download and how to get back rooted with the stock rom for warranty purpose.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks everyone for the help.

Go HERE and download one of the roms with radio 3.29, preferrably the .exe that can be run via a Windows PC. That *should* take care of you.

Try this RUU
Its the latest official from Sprint so it cant be rooted.
You can also just flash any stock rom and kernel, unless they try to go into recovery they wont have any way of knowing your rooted.

HTC Desire Error while updating RUU

I have a HTC Desire Bravo GSM.
Radio: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
ROM: MIUI
Bootloader: 0.93.0001
Carrier: Vodaphone UK
I am trying to install this RUU: RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126338_signed
While installing the ROM it gives an error relating to the the bootloader version. Do I need another RUU, if so which one? This is the only Vodaphone UK RUU I can find. If not do I need to upgrade Bootloader or downgrade it. (How?)
HELP!

First, tell us which type of hboot you are using (cm7r2, stock...).

Bootloaders cannot be downgraded.
Are you using one of alpharev's r2 hboots (cm7 or oxygen)? If yes, you have to flash bravo downgrade first, because these both new hboots are locked. This means they cannot be overwritten. After you have flashed bravo downgrade, try to flash ruu again.
Swyped from my HTC Desire using XDA App

How do I check which bootloader I have? and what do you mean by Bravo downgrade?
All I can see in fastboot is "hboot 0.93.0001" It doesnt say wether its Alpharev or stock?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

Boot into bootloader and check first line. What's written there?
I mean if you have one of my named bootloaders, you have to download bravo_downgrade.img from here:
http://alpharev.nl
After flashing this via fastboot you should be able to flash ruu successfully.
Swyped from Oxygen

What do you mean by flashing through fasboot. I know how to apply .zip updates from recovery but how do you do it through fastboot? Does it need to be connected to a PC, any pre requisites for this method? I can see their are steps mentioned on the link you posted but I don't understand step 3. If you can clarify I will be very thankful.
When I boot into hbbot and there are options like "fastboot" and recovery etc. On the first line it says HTC Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-ON ?

Forget the thing with fastboot. You are still s-on, so you cannot use it and so there is no need to explain this.

Ohh I sort of get it now. The custom bootloader thingy can only be installed with S-OFF and I can only downgrade the bootloader with S-off which I don't have. So now I trying the RUU you mentioned. There are there vodaphone RUU's on the site. After trying all three, if they don't work, I have to S-off the device THEN run the Bravo downgrader and then flash any one of the three RUU's again, right?
Thanks for all the help man

Not so fast. Try to flash the latest ruu I posted. If this doesn't work, we will see further.

hey thanks, it worked. Can you please explain why the RUU you posted worked and mine didnt? What do the numbers in the RUU signify? I know of those numbers is the radio version. What about the rest?

Bravo_Froyo_Vodafone refers to the software and carrier.
2.33.161.2 < What does this refer to?
32.49.00.32U < This is the radio obviously. Does it have to be match the radio on my device or not? (It does match by the way)
5.11.05.27 < What does this refer to?
thanks for all the help man. Could you kindly explain two more things?
1) What are the benefits of S-off?
2) whats the point of custom bootloaders like Alpharev?
3) When I root a device, I can obviously install cracked APKs from other websites. What other advantages does rooting offer?
Thanks again.

Mine worked because you wanted to flash an ruu which was too old for your phone.
The number "2.33.161.2" is referred to the software number of android or rather in this case of the android software number with vodafone branding.
32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 is the radio.
1) You can use fastboot, flash different partition layouts or you can delete apps from /system/app while phone is running.
2) More space for your desire.
3) You can install custom roms, backup your apps and system with e.g. titanium backup or you can "take a picture" of your current system configuration with nandroid backup.
For more information, just use the search.
And do not forget to hit the thanks button.

Thanks. You are AWESOME.
Edit:
I forgot. I dropped my Desire a few weeks ago and the screen got cracked. I got the front glass replaced but now the proximity sensor stays ON all the time. SO when I make a call, the screen goes black and the ONLY way of getting the cell back in is removing the battery. I'll get the cell phone repaired in a week or two. Till then is there any app or any way I can disable the proximity sensor? I was using an MIUI rom before I flashed the RUU and it had an option under "Call settings" to turn off proximity sensor so I'm sure it can be done. Is there any other way to do this without having to go back to MIUI? :|

Cannot Access Recovery

I rerooted my phone thanx for the help. HOWEVER, like an idiot I inadvertently updated my OTA to the new 4.54.651.1 and it knocked out my root. I have tried several times to reroot with revolutionary with negative results. When I go into the bootloader it is not reading my PC36IMG. I tried to go into recovery and cannot. I pressed volume up and power got the "blue lettered" screen, 4 give my terminolgy, noob here. clear the cache rebooted and nothing.
I have tried running the Andriod Flash (Thanks Captain Throwback) with the new 4.54 and nothing. When I ran the 4.53 i got "Main Version is Older". Everything I have tried has led to 1 frustrated dude here. I keep getting "NO IMAGE OR WRONG IMAGE"

I'm not sure that revolutionary runs on the new OTA,it has'nt been updated yet,don't quote me though.

Post deleted.

Your best bet is to re-run revolutionary root. by the way, vol+up is for the diagnostic menu, vol+down gets you to the bootloader [where I assume you wanted to go].

I don't believe that Revolutionary will work with the 6.17 bootloader (I might be wrong).
You need to run this file first to get back to 2.16 Hboot.

Then run the Revolutionary Root again.

Help rooting

Good Morning,
I got myself in a situation and I'm not sure how to get out of. My phone is rooted and before had s-off with hboot .93 and baseband 2.15.00.0808. I wanted to try a rom that only worked with certain versions of hboot. So I updated my hboot to 0.97 and I lost my s-off. Currently I can't use unrevoked because my baseband is not supported. I also can't use revolutionary because my hboot is not supported. Is there anything I can do to get my s-off again thank you.

Have you tried running an RUU.exe from fastboot? Maybe the 4.53 update, so you can be able to root with Revolutionary.
Here is Football's RUU folder.

Good Luck and good morning to you too.

atapia984 - So your saying download and install 4.53 update. I need to place that on my sd card on the setup to flash the phone. Also will that update my hboot

No these are RUU.exe you run from your Windows machine. You could also try Captain_Throwback's PC36IMG.zip's you can flash from the HBOOT from the post here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16949711&postcount=15
either the 4.54 or the 3.70 so you will be able to root with either Unrevoked or Revolutionary.

Ok its downloaded just curious do you think this will brick my device before I go through and install it just want to be sure Its not going to brick it

http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/194918-rooting-dummies.html
I tried this and I got error failed to get root is your firmware to new.

If succesful an RUU restores your device back to stock firmware. There should not be a brick.

Make sure you have the necessary drivers for Windows.

Have you tried the PC36IMG.zip?

According to G&E all HBoots are now downgradeable as of 3/15/12 so try downgrading back to your old HBOOT that worked. There's also a thread on here, I think it (Radios) by Caulkin it where I get all the latest radios, combo zips, hboot versions and more, great resource, good luck.
