Trying to install android 1.0 driver with already rooted phone

I rebooted my computer so i had to redownload unrevoked. When i downloaded the hboot drivers i unzipped those fine. When i connect my phone to laptop in the hboot menu and hit hboot usb its sayin driver unsuccessfully installed. Before my phone was rooted thus process was simple. I would follow the instructions on unrevoked website and when i looked under device manager it would say android device. Is the fact my phone is rooted causing the issue?

[Q] Can i root with MY HTC in device manager?

Tired of scouring through help videos and google searches... I hope someone on here can help me.
Rooted my HTC Desire via the unrevoked 3.2 method and used for a few days before deciding to S-OFF. Well i made a mistake and got stuck in a boot loop. Reflashed the RUU and i am back in business.
The issue is that i had to reinstall HTC Sync to reflash the RUU and then uninstall again so i could re-root, leaving the drivers in of course. I noticed that when i connect phone to PC via the same method as before, it should have had 'ANDROID 1.0' in device manager but this time it says MY HTC.
Can anyone explain what to do?
1) I can go ahead and root as before, this is just the new version of HTC Sync drivers.
2) Stay clear, the new drivers mean the bootloader is locked.
Which is it?????
I am a noob and although some members on here instructed me to use adb, i am out of my depth with that, even the guides available aren't simple enough for me.
Surely there must be an easy way out of this?
Any help would be much appreciated!

u can try uninstall the drivers and reinstall them back to be safe. also install the modified hboot drivers from unrevoked.

Thanks for your reply. Already tried to uninstall then reinstall the drivers. The issue is happening when I try to install the modified hboot driver, it says the driver is up to date but doesn't show as 'Android Bootloader Interface'.

When your Mobile is fully booted it will show My HTC.. and when you will boot into fastboot.. by volume down and power.. you will see 'Android Bootloader Interface'.
So that mean, YES you can root with unrevoked while you have 'MY HTC' in device manager with USB Debugging On.

Stuck at "waiting for fastboot"

I tried searching for an answer, but there is just so much information out there. I am attempting to gain S-off and my phone keeps getting stuck at "waiting for fastboot" command screen. I've installed the proper driver. Any ideas? Thanks

Are you on gb? If not just keep retrying.

I'm on 2.2. Every time I plug my phone in via usb a pop-up keeps asking me to install the verizon drivers. Should I keep installing these before I run alpharev?

... I think you have to enable USB Debugging from the Settings. The drivers should be installed as of the first install... hope this helps.

Make sure you click charge only as well

When you enable debugging, there is another driver that gets installed.

Root?

Is there a way to root stock 2.2 that isn't unREVoked or z4root? I can't get unREVoked to work, just tells me to connect phone via usb and enable USB debugging. I have done this. Adb isn't working either, and z4root just sits at the screen for hours saying it's working. I just need a temp root for now, as I am having a usb problem where the phone reboots to 5 vibe whenever unplugged. I obviously want to get back to rooted, but just want to go one step at a time. Phone can read the SD, but my computer cannot recognize USB storage mode.
Is there a way to get this done?
Thanks,

Did you get the drivers for Windows and change USB connect to "charge only?" Not sure about how else to go about rooting to be honest.

[Q] Unrevoked Issue

I started to download unrevoked onto my Evo, but the cable became disconnected.. Now, when I try to use the Unrevoked program to "reload" the program, it just sits there and does not seem to recognize that my device is connected... I do have debugging mode on, as per the instructions. Revolutionary also just waits to recognize the device. The device is recognized, as the evo tells me the debugging mode is on when the cable is plugged in.,,,
What can I do to solve this issue??? I just want to root my phone... Thanks!!!:crying:
Any other suggestions for rooting appreciated!

Hi Diva64, how far did you get in the process before the usb came unplugged? Are you able to just reboot your phone and start again? Any other information you can give to pin point what stage it went wrong and what your phone is doing, or not doing will help me walk you through the rooting process.

Thanks jOst..
I got probably about 75% of the download. The phone is acting fine... I was able to just continue on as if nothing happened.... the problem is when trying to "redownload" the revolutionary program onto the evo via the windows popup program. ... the windows computer program pops up, but says it is waiting for the device to be connected.
When I connect the evo, the notification bar tells me debugging mode is on, but nothing else happens on the evo or the windows program. I did try rebooting the phone w/no problem, and I cleared the application cache, thinking that maybe the evo thinks the download occurred... Again, the phone itself works fine in stock mode... Hope this provides some clarification! Thanks for your help!

hey Diva64,
sorry it took a min to get back to you. Glad to hear your phone is able to go through round two..lol, ok. I have ran a virtual machine numerous times and have found these basic failures, basically to do with wrong drivers or lack there of....question...do you have htc sync installed on the pc you are rooting from? if yes, remove and go to root method.... if no, question two. Do you have the diagnostic drivers installed for your phone yet? if no, google search diag evo drivers and install. (will give more instructions as you define what or what is not missing. ) if yes, question three. did you verify the checksum of your downloaded unrevoked.exe. possibly corrupted files is why i ask. if no, check by going to download page and look for sum. after redownloading, match the sum from your pc to what is listed on the dl page. let me know what you find.

Still not rooting
I was able to make some progress.. to the point that the screen on the computer tells me it is "rooting..." it does this for a few minutes, then I get an error screen telling me "error: Failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?"
My Phone is an Evo 4g (NOT lte)
Sprint
Supersonic EVT 3 Ship S - ON
Hboot 2.16.0001
Android 2.3.3
What should I do next? Thanks!!!

You should be using Revolutionary, not Unrevoked. Unrevoked is for older Hboots. Been awhile since I used it, so not sure how much help I can offer. Biggest thing to me was making sure I had the drivers installed that are in the Revolutionary guide. Everything else was a cinch.
