So, I told my friend I'd help him root his HTC Desire. Thing is, when he first got it, which was apparently shortly after it came out, he had it rooted. The guys said, however, that it was a partial root. I don't know what that means. Also, he has the super user app, but no recovery installed. Also, I've looked over the guide for rooting the phone and getting S-OFF. (I have an EVO 3D) It's so different from my phone that I am not sure what bootloader version this phone has.
I know that it is locked, KINGDOM PUT SHIP S-ON, HBOOT 1.22.0000. If there is any help, I'd appreciate it. I'd be alright if it weren't rooted at all, but since it's partially rooted, I'm not sure.

I was on the bootloader for the desire when I typed this. That is the current hboot version. the version on the EVO 3d is 1.5

HTC Kingdom is the codename for HTC Evo Design 4G or HTC Hero S
(HTC Bravo is the codename for HTC Desire)
so root methods in this forum won't be of much help.
i'm not sure what your aim is:
- rooted phone? if you have superuser app it's likely that you're already rooted. try running an app that requires superuser permissions e.g. titanium backup
- custom rom? then you will need custom recovery, i couldn't find the xda forum for evo design 4g, so try google for a guide on how to install one for that phone.

Ahh, my friend wasn't sure which phone he got. I couldn't find a design forum here either. Also, yeah, he said it was a partial root (not sure what that means) and as for the custom recovery, he doesn't have one, which you usually get one when you root the phone (CWM Revolutionary usually). Thanks for the info, I'll check out google when I get home.
I think by partial root here might mean that the phone is not s-off yet
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
Could he mean temporary root? (root is lost after reboot)
Because there you have a superuser app but no recovery...
You could try using apps that require root and check if root is gone...
There's an easy way to root/s-off on my guide.
But is it for HTC design?

So, I've searched on google HTC Design Rooting and S-OFF, and all it links me to is stuff for the HTC Desire or the HTC Desire S. It's like the Design doesn't exist. What gives.
Ahem, Im the noob here but...
Try "Find Your Device..." at the top of the forum, write just "HTC Evo 4G".
And look for an answer there... try READ FIRST! - Rooting, Solutions to Problems, the Answer to Life

@Panface, don't know why there aren't relevant forums, possibly not a popular device among developers? If Google can't find the answers don't know what else to suggest, all I know is rooting methods for each phone should be treated uniquely, and we can't help you much here unfortunately

Yeah, it's an HTC Design, which is vastly different from the HTC EVO 4G. But yeah, it's weird that Google can't find anything about it. Must not be that popular of a phone.

Spent almost 6 hours yesterday trying to figure out how to root the htc wilfire (Bee), but was unable to because alltel out dumbed me by branding their phone. Any known workarounds?
Super one click 1.5.5 seems to give a root. I havent been able to get a recovery flashed yet though.

Bee = Buzz / Wildfire for Verizon
http://news.softpedia.com/news/HTC-Bee-En-Route-to-Verizon-Leaked-ROM-Emerges-160263.shtml
I have the HTC Bee(Wildfire) for Bluegrass Cellular. When trying unrevoked it says device "bee" not supported. I did use super one click and got it to root and install superuser. I mainly want root for wifi tether which seems to work, but I would like to install custom roms like I do on my Evo (Evo is personal phone, Wildfire is work phone). The Clockwork mod says it flashed, but when rebooting into recovery its the standard useless recovery. I also tried to install a VPN app requiring root and it says Busybox missing, root access denied even though when it prompted for superuser access I hit allow. So I think Super One Click is semi rooting the devices but not completely. I tried to unroot and it hangs on Removing Superuser.apk. I want to start fresh with it and do the Shell Root instead of the other root via S.O.C. Anyone else had any luck with the "Bee" Wildfires?
From here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 said:
Some devices have a NAND lock. SuperOneClick will only give a Shell root until you remove this lock.
The following phones can use http://unrevoked.com to remove this lock:
* Sprint EVO 4G (HTC Supersonic)
* Droid Incredible (HTC Incredible)
* HTC Desire GSM
* HTC Desire CDMA (HTC BravoC)
* HTC Aria
* Droid Eris (HTC DesireC)
* HTC Wildfire (HTC Buzz)

It appears as though this NAND lock also applies to the Alltel HTC Wildfire (HTC Bee) . Unfortunately, unrevoked does not yet run on the Bee.
Get me a rom update utility. I can get us a permanant root. I'm just slightly scared of not being able to boot my phone, and would like a way to reverse it. Current version is 1.07.671.2.
Thanks!
I was able to root my htc wildfire "bee" phone from alltel using the z4 root by ryanza. Seems to be the only rooting that works. Ive been unable to find any custom roms for it though, or if theres any roms that work for it at all.
Hey man can u send me the rru of ur bee somehow i think o got an idea.. and if i do reach my goal ill show the way how ive done it..

I have both an HTC Wildfire and a HTC Desire. I rooted and ROM'ed the Desire no problem. My wifes wildfire is a "bee". I used SuperOneClick and it says it is rooted but i cant boot into ClockworkMod Recovery. It just boots into the regular recovery. Anyone know a way to get this to work?
To root my buzz i used unrevoked and it flashs clockworkmod recovery automatily .
Excuse cor my bad english
Unrevoked does not support "bee" device. Anything anyone else wants to add?

Hi try to root my htc bee and I'm like a brick indicates that the only way to get serious with a GoldCard but I can not have access to create it. I say it is possible to obtain GoldCard other similar equipment but no one has this model here. Someone could give their goldcrad to get my htc bee. Please Please sorry for my English
I heard an app called Z4root is able to root the "bee", but I'm not sure.

I unable to root my "BEE" with unrevoked. How did you do it? Any RUU available for the Bee? Thank you so much!
you could try to see if htcdev supports the bee, if it does then you would be able to permroot, recovery, roms the lot

I'm not really sure he could get a recovery and ROMs, since you can't use buzz stuff on the bee.

USCC's upgrade to 2.2 includes Hboot 1.06 which hasn't been cracked or whatever yet. I'm waiting very impatiently too....
Yes usb debugging is on and I uninstalled HTC sync. But oh I didn't know this latest version of hboot hadn't been unlocked yet. Sorry for the dumb question

I'm planning to buy one of these. Please tell me which mobile is better?
The Desire S is a replacement for the Desire. With the Desire S, you get a newer CPU, more internal memory, better camera, pretty much better overall. Go and have a look at the specs on htc.com. If I was in your spot, I would buy the Desire S, although if I didn't have the Desire right now, I would most likely get the Sensation.
the desire, the desire s is a letdown... has lots of bugs and doesnt live up to its name...
And, most importantly, Desire S has a signed bootloader, so you can't flash custom roms - and maybe never will.

That's odd on the desire s development page the first custom Rom has been rekeased, and root has been achieved, I think you should ask the question on their threads I could be wrong!
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Afair it is a question of luck if you get a s-on or s-off device. If you've got an s-off device, you can achieve temp root, delete apps, stuff like that. If you're unlucky, you're s-on and can't do anything.
But even if you are s-off, you can't flash aosp roms for example.
But to get a definite answer on that, check the desire s forum - and please correct me if I'm wrong

Just so we're clear lol obviously I have a Verizon HTC Incredible 2, Gingerbread (2.3.4) with HBOOT 0.98...
I'd like to get rid of all the bloatware, or freeze it, whatever needs to be done. I'm not a n00b but I am a bit of a rookie when it comes to Android devices specifically, I've never really dabbled in this department.
I was following: incredibleforum.com/forum/htc-incredible-2/9918-successful-rooting-incredible-2-finally.html
I figured out the ADB thing, so don't worry about that. I went to try doing the revolutionary s-off part before I could gain root access to my phone, but it told me my device was not supported, that's when I figured out I have hboot 0.98, pffffttt. I wonder if it's even possible to do at this point in time. I just can't seem to find what I'm looking for...
Could someone please point me in the right direction? What am I missing or not finding for myself? >_<
Check out the dinc2 development section. It seems as if you can do so via attn1 help.
I can't link from my tablet but its on the first development page.

Hi folks, I have just joined as a friend of mines told me XDA was the place to look for help in sorting out my HTC Desire.
I will do some reading over the weekend and hopefully sort the problem out myself and not need to look like a complete tosser. There is obviously millions of members and endless amounts of topics to chose from.
A brief description of my problem : I installed the HTC Gingerbread 2.33 RUU a few months back and ran into issues with the storage, which I believe the update warned of. Anyway, that RUU updated the handset no problem, but me being me I decided I wanted to revert to a stock rom so downloaded an older version which failed to install on the phone.
I used Revolutionary method to gain S-Off and created a NAND back up without any problems then I tried to run the old RUU and hit a brick wall so to speak. I am now stuck on the TMobile UK loading screen and although I can boot into HBOOT menu I cant use recovery to gain access to the back up or anything else.
My PC is now wont find my Desire as a phone but just a Android Device.
As I say I will do some searching and hopefully find my way through the maze of information.
If I need anymore help I will give full details of ROM Version , HBOOT and exactly how I got my phone into such a sorry state.
Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help me.
