New Breed of Desires

Howdy Guys
A few days ago a mate of mine employed me to help him root his new toy. After doing mine multiple times (for various reasons) it was supposed to a piece of cake.
My method (I may have missed a point or two but you get the main idea):
1. Unrevoked
2. Install Titanium Backup, full backup
3. Copy entire SD contents
4. Install Rom Manager / Partition SD Card
5. Copy rom over to SD Card and install
6. Upgrade radio
7. From rom restore stuffs and go nuts
(optional but wanted to do)
8. S-OFF via bootable USB stick
Anyway turns out almost every step of the way was hampered because of new hardware. Here's the HBoot screen details:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.09.05.30_2

For anyone else that has a desire with these specs please save yourself a lot of time and "oh ****" moments and know the following:
- Clockwork recovery will not work, you need to flash ArmonRa via the SDK with fastboot.exe OR via Unrevoked, before plugging in your phone go File > Choose alternate recovery and link it to AmonRa which you downloaded.
- Rom manager will not work (as it relies on ClockworkRecovery)
- SD Card partitioning and Upgrading to EXT3 needs to be done in AmonRa Recovery.
- Current S-OFF methods will not work and will send black lines across your HTC Boot splash screen. S-OFF tool reports failure at step 3. Ripping the battery and then restoring via recovery is the only fix.
Cheers.

I have a pvt4 and use clockwork

Sounds bad...But it should not take much time till there is a working solution for this

i have that type of desire.
and i have encounter no problem on rooting unrevoked /s-off with alphaville 1.5
i have used various roms (auraXsense and hd roms Rcmix, ownhere dhd)
used amonra and clockmodwork....at least 30 times
i have used 3,4 radio versions and upgraded to the latest 5.11.05.27
everything works and stable with richard v5f kernel and rcmix 14 + set cpu....
and they are working.
it is exactly your specification
except that now mine is S-off.
spec seems the same except
Bravo Pvt3 ship S-off but maybe is from the s-off procedure

microp 051d
really i do not know if it was before pvt4 or what pvt3/4 means...
anyway i want to know considering maybe i will encounter future desire and maybe you are right... and it is possible that they are not working.
you cold try a Ruu update and try again the all process maybe something went wrong somewhere

You not seen the rather LARGE thread in General about this??

I have the same specs on my Desire and the latest clockwork(2.5.1.2) works. I'm not S-Off.
I flashed 6-7 roms with no problems.
I didn't use RomManager,so I don't know, but partitioned the sd card from recovery, under advanced options with no problems.

Only happens on some PVT4 devices (two different types), and there is already a thread about this.
My PVT4 has clockwork, S-OFF, root, custom splash1, etc.

Yea there is definitely a new model i have the same problems. Clockwork Recovery dont work only Amon Ra and Alpharev dont work either. Stops at step 3 everytime saying:
"Could not push the initial files during step 1. this is most likely a permissions error on your data partition.
We have tried our best to circumvent this, but most likely your ROM is either not rooted properly, causing failure.
Your best option is to backup everything, and flash a custom ROM that is properly rooted and has ADB root.
Remember: your HBOOT is NOT S-OFF, and it is not bricked."

USB DOES NOT DETECT PHONE ONLY G:/ PROBABLY DUE TO THE DRIVER MISSING
8GB SD CARD
Phone will not boot to splash screen, I have tried installing pc36img.zip not ''pc3img.Zip.zip'' k, I can access the clockworkmod recovery screen where I can mount to sd but when I reboot from recovery back to bootloader where it attemps to install PC36IMG But says I have ''MAIN'' older version and attemP to ask me to reboot or continue to bootloader ''Hboot'' screen. Currently I have no files at all on my sd card...So im out of idea's 2 days later HELP!

Flashing New Recovery

Having trouble with my DHD at the moment.
Tried updating my 4EXT Recovery and now for some reason the phone boots the stock recovery screen. This is the black screen with a picture of a phone and a red triangle with an exclamation mark on it.
So I thought the best thing to do would be flash a whole new recovery onto the phone.
I can get in to H-Boot and BootLoader, but am having problems flashing a recovery.
Not the most knowledgeable with this sort of thing tbh, so this is where i need help.
I have tried downloading a version of 4EXT Recovery (not sure if i'm using the right one or not) and a ClockwordMod Recovery, placing on the root of the SD card and renamed to PB99IMG.zip (is this correct?) But the H-boot doesn't install it.
Here are the details i can provide:
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.0007
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
Oct 11 2010, 12:47:02
If anyone could tell me what i'm doing wrong or what to use instead it would be a great help!

Try renaming that file to pd98img.zip, reboot into bootloader, and when it asks you if you would like to update with the pd98img file select yes, and see if it works.

[Q] stuck at hboot screen

i have an evo that belongs to a friend he got it used, looks as though it was rooted before. this is all the information i have
supersonic evt3 ship s-off
hboot-2.18.0001
microp-041f
touch panel-atmel224_16ab
radio-2.15.00.01.15
dec 21 2011 12:50:32
the phone only boots up to the hboot screen, the volume and power buttons do nothing when they are pressed. i have gone thru the forums for almost a week trying to download and install every possible solution as well as following the steps in most of the forums that are even remotely related to this issue but still no luck. when i put a PC36IMG.zip on the sd card it gets to a stage of parsing sd zip but never moves from that spot.
anyone have any suggestions or recommendations to try as well as links that work for downloads, a majority are dead as to be expected on an older device.

Ok,i read what you wrote,so is what i did is,download the htc HTC Sync Driver ,then download and install Smelkus Recovery ,go into Hboot and then usb fastboot and open your sd card and copy the PC36IMG.zip onto your sd card,unplug and boot back into Hboot and wait for the prompt,push up and then down,then scroll down to recovery and click it,that should work,unless you have internal problems.

If it never moves past the part of parsing your sdcard, you need to reformat it (the sdcard) to FAT32

To root use Revolutionary. It will give s-off and then you will be able to flash a rooting tool. I'm a noob too and have used it very recently to s-off and root my Desire without any problem... You will find useful information in the forum for that...
Hope this helps...
Edit: I tryed using unrEVOked 3 also and got the same error...

For GB use Revolutionary. Unrevoked worked well on Froyo.

Thanks guys I managed to root and install a recovery file/rom.. heres how i did it
On the Revolutionary page read everything and download the following:
a) Revolutionary zip - save to PC. They will ask for info (currently) on your phone to get a beta key.
b) Root file - place this on your SD card. I used Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Now you're ready to go.
S-OFF PROCESS
Run Revolutionary (unzip and run) and follow prompts. Say no to installing their recovery.
Congratulations, you should be S-OFF now. You can check by booting to Hboot and seeing if you have a nice pink "Revolutionary" label above your HBoot info.
ADDING CUSTOM RECOVERY
it's time to install your recovery file. i used (recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-bravo.img)
a) Boot into fastboot mode (from off, volume-up and power or volume-down and power then cycle to fastboot option)
b) Connect phone to PC through USB. You should see "FASTBOOT USB" on your phones screen.
c) Open CMD (Start > Run > type "cmd" and press enter)
d) Type "fastboot flash recovery c:\your recovery file name" where c:\your recovery file name is the exact location and name of the recovery file you downloaded.
You should now have a S-OFF phone with a custom recovery
ROOTING PROCESS
Now for rooting:
a) Boot into Hboot (from off, hold vol-down and power) and choose "Recovery" from the menu.
b) Choose "flash zip from SD card" or similar from Recovery menu (use trackpad to navigate)
c) Choose the Root file you downloaded to your SD card from the Revolutionary website.
d) Wait till it says it's done, then choose to reboot.
Congratulations, you're S-OFF and Rooted!​
Whats the best and most stable custom rom to use please?
Also I backed my phone using the recovery.. it stated that I have no sd-ext..is that bad? Do I need to change that?
Thanks again for your help
my phone now has the following:
bravo pvt1 ship s-off
hboot-6.93.1002
microp-031d
touch panel-synw0101

Thanks again for your help

You would need an ext partition for many roms, to get a lot more internal memory. Check the partitioning guide in my sig.
A good rom to start out with is MildWild Redux. I've been using it since it was released. No problems.

4ext is a better recovery than ClockWorkMod.

thanks all for your help.. I have managed to root and install MildWild 9.5 on my phone and so far it seems to be working fine
