Relock and root again.
Follow this video guide and it should help. Root again once its locked, use the same unlockcode.bin file from htc dev

Most likely if you reflash supersu via clockwork recovery it will be sorted.

Hi
I have a desire i tried to root with unrevoked.
But it seems like my desire is a usb brick.
I hope the usb brick state will go away if i root it and flash with new rom.
But how do i root it when theres no usb ?
I have hbot 0.93.0001
radio-5.11.05.27
running stock android 2.29
I want root, this rom and usb working.

thx for your reply.
I got tmp root working and i installed clockwork recovery.
Perm root didnt work for me, is it possible to install a root rom then since i got clockwork innstalled ?
Or do i need permanent root for that ?

that's kind of the idea.. didn't you read the guide? you get temproot, flash recovery and then flash a rooted ROM.
From my experience I couldn't flash with a temp root I ended up rooting and s-off with alpharev had to have sync and stock drivers installed on my computer. With temp root when you reboot it disables the root so you have no root access. I will figure it out for you tomorow though no worries.

That seems logic.
Will the usb Brick state go away if do a factory reset ?

Most probably no, but you could fakeflash the .Zip of the USB brick fix recovery (listed on my guide) and use the USB brick fix function in it.

yes but when you do have temproot and superuser access you are able to flash recovery through rom manager.. just like my tried and tested guide works.
Hi.
While back I ran Revolutionary tool to S-off and root + CWM recovery.
Recently I ran official 2.3 RUU and used stock ROM. Now I want to try ICS, but I don't have CWM anymore. Revolutionary hboot and S-off is still ok. Tried running Revolutionary tool again, but it says I'm already S-off and tries to install CWM, but fails. Tried to install CWM manually through fastboot, but it hangs on sending file. I can still see the device with "fastboot devices".
Since I used a RUU, I don't have root access anymore.
Any idea on how to flash CWM?
IF u are still s-off u can flash a new recovery, click 4ext recovery on my sig, download and install the 4ext recovery updater app then flash recovery. to get root just flash superuser zip file

The 4EXT recovery updater app says it requres root access to function. But it don't have root
install superuser

How can that help me, when I don't have root access? The superuser apk itself does no good without root access. The 4EXT app need busybox, and busybox needs root.
This is the situation:
I want a custom recovery. But for that, I need root. And to get root, I need a custom recovery. It is an evil circle! But since I have Revolutionary hboot and S-OFF, there must be some way I can get a custom recovery.

The first step:
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/
Download recovery image and flash it via fastboot, or using some flasher.
Then like you did before flash Superuser .zip:
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
After that you'll have root access and you can flash 4ext recovery as well.

I quote myself from my initial post:
"Tried to install CWM manually through fastboot, but it hangs on sending file. I can still see the device with "fastboot devices"."
So that don't work for me, sorry. Seems I can't write to recovery partition. Didn't work with the Revolutionary tool either. The only thing I can think of, that could work, is if the Revolutionary tool could see the device as untouched by the tool, and start the process from the beginning.
Did you try with erase recovery command, and then flash recovery?
If that doesn't work, 2.3 RUU and start from scratch.

Seems to hang on erase command too. Screenshot:
I'll try to do another RUU.
I managed to flash CWM! Just had to change computers. Weird, since my Windows is fairly fresh and had all the right drivers.
I have just bought 2 HTC Desire phones 2nd hand for my wife and myself. One was already rooted, with su access and Nikez-Lente-1.0.1b2-bravo rom running very stably.The other was unlocked but branded and with a stock sense rom (not sure if if was gingerbread or ics).
So I immediately set about "rooting" the stock phone. I used Revolutionary, got s-off and installed sandvold Beta_0.18.2.1. I then installed Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed and expected to get root/su access on the phone. It was only when I tried using a2sd tool that I found I didn't have root/su access. Since then I've put the phone back to RUU and tried using unrevoked to root, but it fails everytime with a message "do you have a newer firmware?" or something like that.
I've put 4EXTRecoveryUpdater touch recovery on, installed Nikez-Lente-1.0.1b2-bravo again, installed su again, still no access. I've tried Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed, still no joy. Nothing seems to be able to put this phone into su/root mode.
And the strange thing is, both phones are on hboot 6.93.1002. So why can I not root the other phone?
I've searched the net for 2 days now and can find nothing to help. All the guides for unrevoked make it look like the simplest thing in the world to do.
What do I need to do?
Check my sig, desire all things root, s-off using revolutionary. Theres a superuser zip file there, try flash that in recovery. Where did u get that superuser zip file?

Yh i think with that site u have to download and flash the su binary aswell as the superuser.zip
download & flash this in recovery and u should be rooted
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip
This is the SU file from the guide in my sig
Sent from my HTC Desire
Thanks for that
Tried that one, still getting "permission denied" in terminal.
Just a thought - should I downgrade the bootloader to an unrevoked compliant one?

If you flash recovery for root you have to find a Superuser flashable a zip file with superuser that all you have to do for root after recovery

You've flashed CWM, but you haven't flashed su or a Superuser app yet, so you don't have root yet. If you want your current ROM, just with root, then flash one; I know SuperSU has a flashable zip on XDA somewhere. Or, flash a rooted custom ROM from your recovery.
i have downloaded and saved the zip on my sdcard
when i go into fastboot i cannot find the superuser.zip
do i need to open it using the command prompt
No, from recovery.
Thanks guys i have finally rooted my phone ..
Now the question is my s-on do i need to turn it to s-off or can i just flash a custom rom
And to flash a rom i go into recovery and select the zip and install
do i need to update the clockmod as i am on the blue and black screen.. read somewhere i need to have the latest clockmod to install recent ROM's ?
There's a guide in the link in my signature that will help you get started.
lol.. i did what it said in the guide now i got a phone with just a blue screen
i flashed pacman rom i can get into recovery
i will try another rom
That's a known pacman issue. Try flashing another ROM.
hello i have an htc desire whit s-off on stock ruu and cwm recovery but no root and all over the internet they said that just revolutionary can root my gb stock rom but when i enter in revolutionary it just said that i have already s-off and ask me if i want to flash a custom recovery, no root question how can i root my desire? and something else i will not change my stock ruu whit an other one , this is the only that work on my desire and i don't want any custom rom so please is there anyone that can tell me how to root my desire?
Revolutionary does not root ur phone, it makes u s-off. To root, simply google superuser, and on that site, download superuser zip file and the su-binary for arm. Put both files on sdcard, boot recovery and flash both zip files and reboot.
