[Q] Please HELP gain root!!

I have a US Cellular Desire that has been updated to 2.2. This phone has never been rooted. I would like to root it now but I guess there is no way to root a 2.2 that wasn't rooted with 2.1... yet anyways. Can someone help?

Thats the way to go

Thanks... I have seen that. Unfortunately that doesn't work for the US Cellular Desire that wasn't rooted when it was running 2.1. There are many of us that are in this situation... we updated to 2.2 and now want to root but are unable to.

Well, I guess I should ask because someone may know something I dont... is there anyone with a US Cellular Desire who has successfully rooted, using the above method, a 2.2 that did NOT have root with 2.1?

I am in the same boat. It would be awesome to have S-ON also when S-OFF is available. S-ON was never available on the CDMA version of the Desire.

Anyone?? Can anyone help??

I am having the same problem, have looked everywhere and can't find anything.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Same situation here. Need to root my Lady's phone But I upgraded to 2.2 for her before rooting. Tried UnrevoKed to no Avail.. Gold card crap seems like a lot of work and may not work for this. Anyone that could throw us A bone would be GOD!!

P.S.
Anyone that could do a Desire HD Rom Port to Desire CDMA would be Titts!! Thanx in advance!

I am in the same boat as everyone else, can anybody help? When we updated to 2.2 it gave us hboot 1.06 and nothing seems to root that. I'd even be willing to do a gold card to downgrade, but I don't know if that works on CDMA phones. Can't find anything that says one way or the other, does anyone know for sure? Thanks in advance!

Ditto here too. I just want to uninstall all the bloat ware and permanently fix the audio issue with Rhapsody. I could care less about doing the s-off fix, and I would unroot it as soon as I uninstalled all the crap on it. I was going to do the gold card downgrade but it says it won't work on CDMA phones. Ugghhh...

Yeah me to PLEASE!!. THX _Tom

Anyone!????????

Really? 320 views so far and there isn't one person on this forum that is capable of helping us with this?

I am not sure there is much love for cdma phones on only the us cellular network. I hope someone can help us out. I am willing to help anyway I can.

Couldn't you just find a stock img and flash that from fastboot?
Or a stock nbh?

I wish I knew how to do this myself. Does anyone know how I can contact the people at Unrevoked?

The only luck I have ever had was on the unrevokedtest channel via http://webchat.freenode.net/ Maybe if a bunch of us start asking about it we can get somewhere.

Unrevoked has been pretty unhelpful on this. It says on the IRC chat not to ask about anything with hboot 1.xx I don't know if maybe their particular hack doesn't work on these newer versions or what.

[Q] Stuck in limbo, need help!

I have posted several stuff about a situation I am having with my phone.... and I still cannot get it solved fully. I hope I can do it here.
I will try and summarize the situation with some key points.
First here is my current info....
Android Version 2.2.1
Baseband Version 2.15.00.03.04
Kernel Version [email protected]#2
Build Number 1.05.970.1 CL339957 release keys
Software number 1.05.970.1
PRI version 2.11_01c
PRL version 01001
Model Number PC36100
Supersonic DVT1 Ship S-ON
HBOOT-6.17.0001
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_20aa
RADIO-2.15.00.03.04
Now I first rooted using revolutionary and got s-off properly.... I played with some roms and found it fun but not enough time to keep at it..... so I decided to s-on and go back to stock using un-revoked. That semi worked.... I got s-on.... but never lost the root. I still have recovery and everything still shows I have root except s-on.
Additionally, I tried to run the stock kddi ruu and i have gotten every error from 140, 170, 171 and even at one time 130...lol still no luck there. In doing all of that I figured out that the image version on my phone is 4.24.651.1 and I need to get to 1.05.970.1 (the stock kddi evo 4g) but cannot get it done.
Also I am HBOOT-6.17.0001 which is confusing in itself. xhausx helped me by giving me a nanadroid version of my kddi rom but that doesn't allow me to update anything and finding updates here is impossible unless I am running stock without root.
I am not sure if I need to flash a new misc partition, wipe my nand or something else and so not know how to do all of that..... can someone please please please help? I am willing to toss a small reward your way if we get me back to when I bought it.

I think you need to run the RUU for your phone; get it back to out of the box, stock, and just start over.

didnt you see this in my message????

if you have another RUU that I do not know about please let me know... because the one that I have from kddi is not working.
my current one is.... RUU_SuperSonic_K_KDDI_JP_1.05.970.1_Radio_2.15.00.03.04_NV_2.11_release_176711_signed.exe

You have a Japanese Evo, right?
Since it's a different phone, most of the people here will not be able to help you. I could tell you what to do if you had a American Evo, but it would probably either error out or further your problem.
Is there a forum for your specific version? Do things generally work the same as our Evos... like can you use the same RUU that I would use?

I was thinking if this will work somthing I might do if everything fails? Maybe you could try rooting it again and unroot?

The fact that I have a Japanese evo doesn't mean that anyone will not be able to help me. This is actually the place where the developers made the first RUU for the Japanese evo to begin with. There are plenty of pro's here.... we just need to find the right solution for me. Additionally, most everything works the same.... I cannot use the same RUU as you because the cid will come up different and cause me more probs.

I have tried to run the root process again and it says in revolutionary that you already have s-off..... which in fact I do not.... and when I do the opposite process it just acts like its running the s-on and does nothing.

S-off okay I've searched the forums and can't figure this out I've had a rooted Inc for a year now I had it unrooted for about 2 weeks before using unrevoked too root and install cwm but my hboot is set to s-on this hasn't been a problem until I tried to update cmw it won't install via hboot or rom manager. So I need to get to s off I'm running cm7 latest nightly. I see htc has unlocked the boot loader for the Inc today will this help me? And I rooted my brother's phone at the same time and his is set to s off this is why I'm confused...

Where did you see that the incredibles bootloader had beed unlocked by htc?
Unrevoked shold have given you s-off also.
What android version are you on?
What radio (baseband) version are you on.
EDIT: I see that htc has unlocked the incredibled bootloader, so yes you can just use that to get s-off.

[Q] Need some help rooting and such

Hello all im hoping i dont get ridiculed for asking this but i need help rooting and and installing a custom recovery on my dads dinc. i I have a fair bit of knowlege with some of this but it appears to be nothing like rooting my little optimus v. i have found many guilds but they all seem to be from 2010. i know htc has a program for unlocking the bootloader but his hboot doesnt seem to be listed as a supported device. all he wants is a nice stable rom that will do away with the headaches of the stock sense rom (like the constant low memory warning). i can do all of this for him, im just a little confused as the best way of doing it. ive never had to deal with an htc before, im not even sure what the s-off is even for, so any help with this would be greatly appreciated

What hboot, radio, and android version is the phone currently on?
As for unlocking with htcdev, it makes you do an ruu which updates the hboot to a unlockable version.
S-off means security off and it allows you to flash unsigned images thru hboot such as new radios and splash screens.

The Android version is 2.3.4, and I can't remember how to get to the hboot to get that version number, I don't know were the radio version is

You can get both the radio (baseband), and hboot versions by booting to hboot. Power off the phone, pull the battery and reinsert, and then hold vol down and power till a white screen appears (hboot). It will tell you both versions in the top left corner.

Hboot is 0.92.0000
Radio is 2.15.10.07.07

So after reading that, am I right by thinking that I don't actually need to get s-off if I'm just going flash a new ROM

Correct you can root and flash roms without being s-off. However s-off has some great advantages, like being able to flash radios, splash screens, and allows you to edit system files, along with some other stuff. S-off also makes it much easier to reroot should you somehow loose root in the future.

Hi highly recommend going S-OFF. As daunting as it may seem, it's really not that hard, and you won't regret it. Nothing really worked right for me S-ON, so just having S-ON alone might give you headaches.

yup if u already through the trouble to get root then why dont get s-off too, its really worth the time and trouble getting both root and s-off.

If your bootloader is already unlocked, flash CWM recovery and then Superuser. Follow the guide in my signature. Being new or a noob won't excuse your from reading and searching.
