2- When trying to flash ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 (img) or (zip) via recovery, it updates and shows new version 3.0.0.5 on screen, but when I reboot Desire it goes back to 2.5.0.7 !
3- Not able to partition SD card via recovery 2.5.0.7 (as it does not show in the ClockworkMod menu) also, when using Rom Manager, Partition SD it switch off and does the work but I never got SD Ext to work.

Have you made sure you dont have a copy of the recovery on the root of your sd card and then tried using unrevoked to reroot and flash the recovery you want?
If you start unrevoked without the phone plugged in it will give you chance to choose the recovery you want to flash ie: different version of clockwork or AmonRa? I use AmonRa on mine and it partitions the card fine from recovery.
Is this the PVT4 type phone with erasesize 40000? (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853583)
I have one like that, and it was very picky about the Unrevoked method. I found recommendation to use Unrevoked 3.21 with AmonRa 2.0.1.
That worked for me, but AmonRa 2.0.1 didn't want to flash some of Teppic74 ROM modpacks. Then I switched to recovery CWM-AlphaRev Recovery 2.5.1.8, and so far I'm still using that.
Please report back if any of that helped
3.22 didnt work for me either,try 3.14 that did the job just fine

I did it using both clockwork or AmonRa as custom recovery and I got the same result, stuck at Running Root.

Then you do not have the new device type that causes trouble with some Unrevoked versions. You could still try what I said, but its less pertinent now

Hey everyone. I need help here, I am still a noob. Currently I am using a htc desire. i managed to root my desire after setting the install location back to 0. Previously i did what this website ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13557827#post13557827) said, to move my apps to sd since i am still using unrooted stock rom.
Apparently, after rooting, the clockworkmod recovery was not installed properly. it says that some files cannot be found. So i end up rebooting the device.
this is what that is shown in the recovery mode.
clockworkMod Recovery v 2.5.07
E: Can't find MISC:
E: Can't mount CACHE : recovery / command
E: Can't find MISC
E: Can't mount CACHE : recovery / log
E: Can't find MISC:
I tried to update the fake flash for S-ON users from
udK's thread on the clockworkmodrecovery. But the same things as above still appear on the recovery screen. i also downloaded the update.zip file from leedriod and update thru zip from recovery mode. the same thing is shown on the screen. So, Can i still use the clockworkmod recovery to flash custom rom? P.S. i had rooted my desire, the next thing left to do is to S-OFF my desire, partition my sd card and flash the custom rom. What should i do next?
this is the information when i check my hboot version.

Did you try to reformat your SD card to FAT32? I suggest you do so (unix preferred, as windows isn't as tedious) and do a clean install.

Yes you can give that a try though, I highly doubt it has to do with the recovery itself as you were able to start CWM.
You have PVT4 device, which means CWM 2.5.0.7 won't work on it. Either use AmonRa 2.0.1 or CWM 3.x.x.x

I tried to update the CWM 3.x.x.x by using recovery via zip file. After that, same thing happen. Smth is missing and the next time I enter into recovery is 2.5.0.7 again .. what should I do ? Currently my software number is 2.13.707.2 , can I flash the RUU with the software number 2.13.707.1 ? Might want to start from scratch again.

But my desire had never been rooted before until yesterday. The only thing I did was changing the install location via pc for unrooted stock Rom. But I did not change the location back when I start to root my desire. After that I change the location back to 0 and the root was successful until the installation of CWM recovery.

may i ask, can i use a RUU with software 2.13.707.1 to flash over my current 2.13.707.2. my current one is a rooted stock which is stuck halfway due to the CWM recovery's missing file.
I had exactly the same thing about a week ago and in the end used alpharev
created a ISO CD and installed alpharev and cwm that way was really simple
Once it did its trick took about 5min I was s-off and had working clockwork

oh ya.. currently, i had burn the alpharev into my cd. but my computer wouldn't seem to boot from cd. the options i had in my setup is choose priority of hard disc ( which the cd/ dvd rom is not there. and the device to boot from, only has the hard disc and removable device. i chose removable device but nothing happen at all. what can i do ?
If you can't boot into CD then your in a bit of trouble trying to use the CD option ?
Maybe the USB option might work for you, all i had to do on my pc was F12 on boot select cd once the screen went dark plugged my phone in and followed the onscreen instructions really was that simple.
Have you actually shut down the PC rather than restart ?

Thats up to you, you can always flash back to the 2.4.1.
Personally i think it depends what your after i'm running a GingerBread rom on my desire HD which is pukka good but if battery life is your main priority certainly for the Desire HD the froyo roms still last longer imo, but i can only speak from the DHD perspective as thats the phone i have may be different for the desire...
To avoid later problems flash cwm 3.0.2.8 with fastboot

Today I rooted my HTC desire using unrevoked, then later I tried alpharev hboot reflash utility S-OFF on it. But it got stuck on step 3.
Then after 20 mins, I unplugged the device. Now after every reboot, I am getting bootloader screen. From that screen I can see that S OFF is successful. But am getting stuck at boot screen everytime I power it up. I found some members got round this problem by flashing nandroid backup or some ROMs. I haven't created any backup yet. Is it possible to fix this problem by flashing any stable custom ROM, from clockwork recovery menu.
Yes, why would you make a post for that and not just flash a rom?
Okay. Will try flashing a ROM. Will anybody recommend which ROM is safe to flash. I have rooted using unrevoked 3, s-offed using alpharev. Can boot into ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.7

if u didn't get past step 3 then u didn't s-off . one of the things that interfere with s-offing is if u have a data2(something) script installed (with ext partition on ur sd card) , i remember it caused me troubles back then and i got stuck also on step 3.

You have just rooted.
I would recommend flashing this one... Once things go smooth u can try newer modified roms.

Hi,
I need some help solving my root problem with my European HTC Desire. I recently got the device itself from a friend. Since both noobs with Android and rooting/flashing, neither him nor me know if it is a branded phone or not. I assume, it's not branded since I couldn't see any brand on the device or in the menu so far. Also, it's still Froyo (Android 2.2) and looks pretty standard.
Same hard facts:

My aim is to get a CUSTOM ROM (preferably mild wild's cm7 JG) on the device. For rooting, I would like to use the unrevoked³ tool, since I didn't find a step-by-step instruction for revolutionary (besides, I don't like to give away my serial number...not trying being paranoid, but, you know..)
For the unrevoked method, I followed the Noob Proof Video Tutorial. I am stuck at "Waiting for reboot..." (in this video @ 2:02 min).
My guess, without knowing for certain what the problem was, is that my HTC Desire doesn't reboot correctly even without connecting it with USB-port, etc. It may be kinda broken (I had tons of bootloops, freezes, etc, pp). Maybe I somehow damaged the phone with the first try to root it? I tried anything I read here during the last 3 days (clear storage, soft reset, bootloader reboot, etc).
I need to get the battery out and then wait for good 10 Minutes, to even boot normally. Often, I just come to enter my PIN for the SIM card, when there's a reboot. Often it reboots even right after the second boot screen ("quietly brilliant").
MAybe it's a heated processor? idk, but even really long pauses wouldn't make it reboot correctly.
I disconnected the USB cable and took the battery out, then after 10 minutes, I put them back in and obviously evo³ continued the process from there ("system to settle...might take a minute" or sth similar). However, my device just rebooted there again and then I had the error code "Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try again."
This is logical, since it reboots when it wants but never when it's supposed to ****ty phoen ^^ (excuse my language)
Any ideas?
If your phone can boot normally, without any reboots, use revolutionary to s-off and install a custom recovery.
revolutionary.io
Read the All things root for desire in my sig.

Best would be to flash the 2.3 RUU (sig, put in on sd-card and boot in bootloader), and use revolutionary. You will lose all your data, but at least the phone will boot, and you will root it.
Well, except if unrevoked did install a custom recovery. Check that too.

No, unrevoked didn't make a custom recovery...the boot menu looks all the same.
However, things are really messed up now. I put the 2.3 RUU image on my SD-Card and booted it via bootloader. An update process began. After completion, the phone rebootet several times just up to the HTC-logo, vibrated about 20 times (maybe the 7-times stuff a couple of times in a row).
Nothing works now. I couldn't even boot anything now.
Also, my bootloader shows HBOOT 1.02.001 now.
Radio is 5.17.05.23
Need help!
Edit: after point 9 in the picture, the device reboots but doesn't boto further than the HTC Logo. THen it vibrates 7 times until it reboots again, then it vibrates 7 times until it reboots again...and so on, and so on...all in a loop.
Edit 2: after having the phone rested on my table over night, this morning I put the battery back in and it worked...a bit. It booted correctly and I configured the settings (debugging-mode, etc). However, trying to do unrevoked again, the device stuck at rebooting again.
Still need help, plz
Edit 3: so desperate --> plz help
You don't run unrevoked on it. If it's still in a bootloop, then flash the ruu again, then use Revolutionary to s-off. DO NOT USE OR DO ANYTHING ELSE.
1. Flash the RUU again.
2. Quick configure.
3. Use revolutionary.io.
4. Install a custom rom.

How do I get a Custom ROM on the device now? Can I continue at STEP FIVE - Partitioning Your Sd Card With Gparted in this Noob Proof Video Tutorial or does revolutionary already has some of those further steps included (like preparing SD-card, etc)?

So it worked. You're welcome.
To root, you either install a custom rom from recovery, or you stay stock, and flash SuperSU from recovery.

Well, it worked so far...I rooted und S-OFFed it, I think I even updated the radio to 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 via the app "ROM Manager".
Now I try to partition the SD card, since doing that via ROM Manager from within the phone didn't work, BECAUSE MY PHOEN STILL DOESN'T BOOT CORRECTLY :/
(Sorry, not shouting at you...just let stuff out) ^^
Okay, I'm stuck with partitioning. Currently my Bootloader-Menu shows me that I have HBOOT 6.93-1002. Should I go to http://alpharev.nl/ and rename that
PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip to PB99IMG.zip and boot the device? What is this bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img?
I'm so sorry, but I think I messed everything up. Arrrgh
cm7r2 hboot is a different phone memory layout. Stock hboot has 250 mb system, cm7r2 has less system alocated memory, for smaller roms, and gives you more data space.
If you want to patition your sd-card, install 4ext recovery.

Yes, I want to do that (even with 4ext recovery). My questions herefor is, if
1) this is within the correct sequence (since I still doesn't have the mildwild cm7 custom ROM installed yet)
2) how I do it with 4ext? do I need to rename the files given at http://alpharev.nl/ ?
3) when I successfully partitioned the SD-card, how do I continue? There are 2 Parts of the mildwild cm7 custom rom...
Thx in advance
Edit: I did anything as suggested in the instructions (put it on SD-card, update yes, reboot no). Then I chose "Recovery" but nothing happens. THe phone is just stuck on the HTC-logo bootscreen :/
Edit 2: okay I followed abaaabbbs instructions in another thread/your sig and installed fastboot via adb. (See attch.)
Now I need to wait a while with battery removed since my phone doens't boot at all. I can only enter bootloader menu etc, but not regular boot to android on phone itself. always stuck with HTC-logo and/or vibrating 7 times , then rebooting to htc-logo again... :/

Shouldn't I change HBOOT to cm7r2 first and make the partitions with 4ext first?
Or do I do it all in one step?
Edit: in one of the seldom times the phone actually booted to regular android, I installed the 4ext recovery again - this time via astro data manager (installed the 4ext-recovery-APK from SD-card). Well, when I enter the bootloader and chose "RECOVERY", it still is stuck at the HTC-Logo...
Hi everyone,
I had my HTC Desire rooted and running CyanogenMod 7 since a couple of years ago.
I remeber I used Unrevoked to root it but I can't tell if I did s-off it back then.
All those years I was able to partially move the apps to the SD withou much effort.
My nightmare begun when I recently flashed the CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.2 v6.3 ROM
The problem is I am not able to install a2sd and overcome HTC Desire's lack of memory.
When exectuing "a2sd install" I realized I didn't had a sd-ext partition.
So, next step would be to partition the 4Gb SDCard half FAT32 , half EXT4.
I have tried to do it using several Windows apps (Easeus Partition Master, Minitool Partition Edition) , also with Gparted on Ubuntu thru VMWare . In any of those cases the phone wouldn't recognize the SD , neither inside the system , neither in recovery . It is detected as damaged and I must reformat thru the System in order to use the SD .
My current recovery is ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.5.0.7 and I can't partition thru it.
As recommended in this thread I had tried to flash the latest 4ext Recovery using fastboot in the command prompt but I have no success, probably because the phone isn't S-OFF.
Ok. So I tried to gain S-OFF using Revolutionary. Also with no success.
I was getting the following message:
"Sending in Caroline...
Retrieving Caroline from certain doom...
Retrying Caroline...
Caroline failed, but had this to say: entation fault"
As suggested in that forum I have tried flashing a Rooted gingerbread stock sense Rom (HTC_Oficial_Stock_2.3.3_signed , downloaded from that forum) and use Revolutionary . Also no success.
I kept receiving "failed to get root" message .
I have tried using AlphaRev 1.8 and Unrevoked 3. No success at all.
I flashed back the CM10 VJ Jelly Bean Rom. Tried it all again.
And still the same results.
I am probably missing some step or some information, althought I had read different forums during the whole weekend.
There is any good soul out there that could help me ?
Some info about the mobile that may be useful:
Bravo PVT4 Ship S-On
HBoot 0.93.001
ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.7

lol did you even read his post?!? His problem is that he cant get s-off cause revolutionary is giving errors.
From what i read it seems like you have done everything correctly except using those windows tools for partitioning. Use this guide for partitioning. But like you said, you will first need s-off to flash 4ext and partition.
You could try flashing this ruu through hboot. Put the zip on the root of your sd card (dont rename it) and then boot the phone into the bootloader using volume down + power. It will search for the file, and will ask you if you want to install it. Press volume up and user power to select yes, and then reboot. After flashing the ruu successfully try running revolutionary again, and see if it works.

Thank you very much chromium96 !
Everything is rocking and rolling . The "key" I was missing was to flash the RUU . After that Revolutionary worked just fine, I was able to S-OFF the phone , flahed 4Ext, partitioned my SD . and right now I'm downloading Paranoid Android 3.56 to give it a try.
