rooting the desire

tried the unrevoked method downloaded everything that was asked but i dont get the hboot usb notice under the simlock sign cant see where im going wrong here,anyone know the answer

Read the instructions on the unrEVOked site

read everything and watched the youtube vids,in vids and in written instructions but i aint got the hboot usb under the simlock when i go into bootloader

Most likely you have forgot to install the HBoot drivers that are needed if running Windows. Also make sure that you have USB debugging enabled.

i have all that in my device manager mate,my prob is i cant get the hboot usb on my desire like it shows you in the vid tuts

Maybe an issue with fastboot then. If you can't access it manually then there is a problem with it. Just search the forum.

Turned antivrus/firewalls off?

Depends on hboot.
For me was no such option either. So, I just booted into HBOOT and plugged in the USB cable and it automatically changed to HBOOT USB PLUG and unrEVOked worked.

thats where i get too also mate,it comes up in blue hboot usb at the top then i do the reflash package and i get the unrevoked flash coming up but just sits on waiting for device

@nagypapi you wouldnt happen to know an orange simlock code so i can put a vodafone sim into my desire

this might sound silly but i install the hboot usb drivers and the reflash package to my laptop?? i dont install anything to my phone

You do know that you won't actually see 'HBOOT USB' on the menu of the Desire don't you? That bit is based on another handset
Turn on the phone holding the volume down button and you'll be in HBOOT. Connect it to the PC and you'll see 'HBOOT USB' on the screen...that's it

lol yes mate i know that,i'm just getting the evo page and
"waiting on device"ive enabled usb debugging and charge only,ive done everything to the letter with no joy,ive unlocked and rooted a nexus one so i thought this would be the same but it aint working for me somehow

Did you uninstalled htc synch?

i seen that on the tut but i cant find it on the phone,all i can see in apps is htc sync weather

Htc synch on ur pc I mean..If u never installed it, so u have to install it (check htc.com), then uninstall (but leave the driver)..
This what I did when I rooted my desire ages ago:
-Install hboot drivers
-Install htc synch and uninstall it (leaving the drivers installed)
-Set debug mode and charge only as default option (make it remember)
-Leave ur desire ON normally at ur homescreen
-Run unrevoked..and ONLY when it ask for the device, plug ur desire..
-Done (unrevoked will reboot ur phone couple of time, dont remember)..just wait the success message on ur pc
Hope it helps

You need to uninstall it from your PC then install the 2 drivers for clockworkmod.

[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'.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

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.

[Q] Charging but USB not recognized

I have been using my HTC Desire for a while and have flashed multiple ROMs in the past. Having got the new Galaxy Nexus, passing on the desire to the family.
On the procedure on the flashing RUU I started with flashing a Sense based ROM but my phone after the sense-based ROM phone does charge on USB but there no USB notification neither does the computer recognizes the device.
Again, on flashing CM7 or ICS, USB is detected and phone works fine.
Is there an explanation, please help.
Thanks

Hi,
Have you tried the pre-rooted stock froyo ROM from teppic74? Give that a try and see if it gives the same issue.
You seem aware of all the processes so I assume full wipes and correct hboots have been used etc.

i am quite familiar...am sure the hboot is correct...i tired flashing stock rom to be met with an error, do downgrade my cwm and need the downgrade fow which am missing the downgrade update.zip

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

There is a setting which tells what is the USB mode : charging, mass storage device or ask each time. Go to the setting and selects "Ask"

[Q] USB not connecting to pc

Hello everybody,
I've got a problem related to the USB not doing anything when connected to the PC. I've tried several things found on the internet. Also looked the first page of threads at the forums on XDA to this problem. This is my dad's phone so i don't know very much about known problems about the one X.
This is what i tried:
1 - 10 seconds press reboot
2 - installing drivers again and again. This with trying step 1 a lot.
3 - trying to find the "HTC one X" in the device manager to change the code to fix finding the phone in Sync manager, it couldn't even find the usb port
4 - enabled USB Debugging
5 - trying different cables and USB ports
The phone does charge the battery when connected to the PC. We unlocked the boot loader and put CWM on the phone. I thought it might be related to that.
It's the - "HTC one X".
- Branded phone Vodafone Netherlands
- ICS 4.0.4
- Root explorer can find both internal memory cards
We can't OTA update it. it goes to CWM and that says it can't find the memory card.
Could someone explain this?
It would be much appreciated :good:

FD1999 said:
It's never related on the recovery, if connecting doesn't work. Try it on another PC, and if it doesn't work anyway, try to flash a ROM.

Oke thanks for saying that.:good: I forgot to say we already tried 3 PC's. We did try it with the same HTC sync manager drivers on all three. I can't flash a rom because the device manager can't even find the device. I'm beginning to fear that it's a hardware problem

Can't connect to ADB for backup
I can't connect my HTC One X to PC either.

Is there a fix?
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium

I have the same problem, no fix until now. The only thing I found that might work is to modify the driver itself to include the phone. But I have no idea how to do that...

You tried the latest 4.1 drivers?

You cannot OTA with a custom recovery.
Follow Brdst7t7 link above and update the drivers. then if I were you I would flash the stock recovery and relock the boot loader, then you will be able to ota to jb4.1.1. Once you have done the above steps you can unlock again and reflash cwm. Then you are free to install custom roms :thumbup:

[Q] One x won't recognise computer.

Hi,
I want to root my One X (international) but I get stopped straight away because my phone won't connect to my computer. When I plug the USBs to both my computer and my phone nothing happens, except charging. There are no options given and the phone doesn't show up as a drive on the computer.
I've installed HTC Synch Manager, tried 4 USB cords, tried 3 computers, I've switched on USB Debugging.
The HOX is on Android 4.1.1
Any ideas? I've scoured many forums to no avail. I'd really like to try some custom roms.
Cheers,

Hello
I have the same problem with my HOX and no solution
Gr

Are you saying there is no solution or that you don't know of one? Can someone confirm that this is a known and unresolvable problem or should I keep looking for a solution?

I will have a try then.....the bootloader is untouched (locked) and the phone has never been detected by the pc before ?
Also interesteded in what OS you are running !

Do you have the latest HTC usb drivers installed? Have you checked in device manager to see if phone is visible? Latest version of HTC sync installed?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Thanks. I bought the phone second hand from a young lass who had broken the screen (which I have replaced) so I presume the phone is standard and been updated to 4.1.1.
Some software information:
Software number 3.14.862.27
HTC SDK API level 4.63
Kernel version:3.1.10-g5ebf4bc [email protected]#1 SMP PREEMPT
I don't know if the phone has ever been detected by a computer before. I have installed the latest HTC Sych Manager on my Vista computer and no, the phone isn't detected in the device manager.
Although I have rooted my previous phone (Defy) and had kept up to date with the latest roms I am still fairly new at this.
Thanks for any help.

And the OS on your pc ?

Drivers or not, when you plug it in it should be recognized as something. Or a HTC phone or a unknown device anyway....

That's what I thought but I get nothing except charge. That is why I've tried a number of cables. I'm suspecting my micro USB socket is faulty. I've cleaned it and even checked how it's mounted. Solidly soldered so I'm checking every other avenue before replacing it as I have a dead Hox for spares.
Any idea if there is a way of rooting without a computer?

Nope ...not possible without a pc

Ok. So is it your opinion that I'm stymied? Are there any other avenues I can try?
The phone is pretty good the way it is, I just like playing around with Roms etc. I'd also like to get rid of the Vodafone crap.

My guess something is broken somewhere in the usb connection....ofcourse, otherwise it would be recognized. But you figured that out already. Maybe a phone repair shop can take a quick peek at it ?
Otherwise your stuck on what you have now.

Well, it connects to the PC, but it only charges so I think this might be a software bug. Maybe you could try to root it and see if it fails at adb commands. My guess is that it will work. Just follow a rooting guide CAREFULLY and don't skip any steps.

But he can't flash anything because there is no data connection, only power connection

First make sure usb debugging is on in settings. Maybe unlocking the bootloader and rooting will work. It's done from the fastboot usb screen where adb and fastboot commands should work. Give it a try before sending for repair.

I definitely agree with his idea, but the first thing you should do is completely restore you're one x.
Then check in hboot, that's power volume down wether the device is locked or relocked.
After that get the latest drivers, connect your hox in fastboot and try to unlock your device via HTC devs.com
Good Luck.
P.S. tell us what happens, we might find a solution all together

Thanks for this. You have given me some hope.
I've done a factory reset, checked that Debugging is on and checked in Hboot, it says *** LOCKED ***
I've connected the HOX to my Vista computer in which I've installed HTC Synch Manager. I presume this installs the latest drivers?
My Hox is still not recognised by the computer. When I request the identifier token it gets stuck on < Waiting for device >
Have I followed your instructions correctly?
Edit 1: Just to be sure I repeated the procedure on my desktop computer which is also running Vista. Same results.
Is there any way of extracting the identifier token within the phone?
Edit 2: I pulled the motherboard out and checked the micro USB port with a microscope. Pretty grotty inside so I cleaned, tightened and checked it. All clean but still no computer connection.

Any news/luck? Would like to know the outcome for this. :banghead:

Okay, so far so good. What you can do next is: go to settings/apps/all apps
and search for the pc-sync app and check if its enabled.
Next thing, try this special debugging driver http://blog.gambliser.com/dl/?p=144.
