Hi,
I just received a couple of new Desires with HBOOT 0.93.0001 preinstalled.
Has anyone seen this before, and is it safe to root?
Thanks,
Adam
Go into settings and about and list firmware details.u might have a new radio too.
Hoot prob 4 slcd tho

You don't root a bootloader. But if you have Froyo, you will not be able to root it. You'll have to downgrade the software first.
Did you get the Desire from Vodafone UK? I know their new 2.2 OTA update changes the HBOOT to 0.93 apparently (which can't be rooted at present)
Thanks for the quick responses.
The Desires did indeed come from VF UK, and yes they are SLCD.
The radio version is the same as the one I've seen on this site: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
Looks like I'll have wait until one of the hacking ninjas works out an easy way to get a root applied to a Froyo desire...

1. Can it be rooted
2. Is it slcd or amoled
It can be rooted my desires hboot is the same. I think its amoled but you can ring HTC and they will tell you.

If it was just the mobo and you were on 0.80 then you're on AMOLED...either way you can root without issues
Yes it can bee rooted mine is also 0.93
look at this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776696
same hboot,radio and slcd and i was able to root using unrevoked 3.21
Tried unrevoked 3.21 (4 - 5 times) and it would not root it. Spoke to guys on irc and they dont know why it did not work.
Wondering if I should go down the downgrade 2.2 to 2.1 then root then use a custom rom back to 2.2. I want to try the cyanogen rom really.
OH and thanks guys
What happens (or not) when you try?
Bascially it says its doing it but it aint.
Waiting for boot when its already rebooted.
Pushing recovery when its not.
connect device.

Any success yet?
Did you buy yours with this version of Hboot or was it upgraded via OTA? when?
a couple of mates have same problem can't root 0.93.0001
Yeah all sorted now thanks. Followed the "how to" at the unlocker
Rooted with unrevoked
Rom manager failed to flash 2 or 3 different roms so I flashed with Leedroid 2.2f using clockwork.
reports that you can flash cyanogen rom with amom ra bit not tried that way yet.
Happy with leedroid for now any way.
I had to send my .80 boot back to HTC for repair (GPS problem) and it came back with a new mobo and software.
You can root if you follow the correct "How to" some miss a few things out

Just rooted mine last night, no problems.
Am on T-Mobile UK, HBOOT 0.93.0001, radio etc all same as yours, all latest s/w from TMUK as I had just received it back from repair recently.
My steps:
Used Unrevoked 3.22.
Download htc sync, install, then uninstall the sync application, leaving the drivers on. Didn't need to mess with hboot drivers in my case.
Attached device, connected in disk drive mode with usb debugging enabled.
Ran Unrevoked.
That was it.
My PC runs Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit.
I follow the same steps still same hanging with "Waiting for root... (safe to restart if this doesn't work). My ROM is:RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC__ARA_2.32.415.3_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157343_signed.exe
im a little confused would i be able to turn s-off on my wildfire ?
my phone details...
hboot-0.80.0002
radio-3.35.20.10
microp-0622
android version-2.2.1
baseband 12.55.55.24h_2.35.20.10
kernal 2.6.32.21
if i am able to turn s-off on my phone would you be nice enough to link me to the right page ?
thanks in advance !!
You will have to upgrade to an official Froyo build before you can get S-OFF. AlphaRev X supports only HBoot 1.01x devices. Not the older 0.80x devices. (Yet)
Use the WWE 2.22.405.1 RUU from Shipped ROM's, and after that, you should be good to go.
thanks for your help i shall be doing this shortly
So after getting frustrated trying to fix things myself, I decided to just hand the phone over to a repairman. I chose the worst possible one.
So now I have a Desire with Android Freedom by MONI69 installed with all its Sense and bloatware. And 64MB free internal memory. And doing a factory-reset does nothing (so this ROM is essentially as-new-factory-condition).
Should I...
a) just flash Oxygen as one normally might?
b) use revolutionary first?
c) something else, for which there is an easy-to-follow guide online?
I'll be upgrading in about 5 months, so I don't need to be pushing it to be all it can be. Just functional with Oxygen.

Well you can flash Oxygen but it will not really fix your internal memory issues since you are on Stock HBoot. I'd S-off first change Hboot or Oxygenr2 then flash Oxygen.

Thanks. According to revolutionary.io, that tool only supports
HTC Desire (bravo) 0.93.0001, 1.02.0001
While I'm on 0.80.000
Is that a recipe for disaster? I can probably coast on what little memory I'll get back with Oxygen for 4-5 months.
Check unrevoked.com and see if it covers your hboot.. I bet someone here can verify this.
Or you can upgrade to the Official HTC Gingerbread RUU then use revolutionary.

Unless I missed something, unrevoked just roots but leaves S-ON. Unrevoked forever doesn't work with GSM Desires.
So upgrading to official HTC Gingerbread RUU will alter the HBOOT to something revolutionary-friendly?
My bad. Sorry. http://alpharev.nl/ should get you s-off and the correct hboot to flash.

Item number 3.
I went through "root 2.3.4,downgrade,and s-off" and got to the point where I launch the bootloader in HBOOT. It reads the file and then says I have an older version and fails. I am confused because the PB31IMG I used I downloaded from here. And what version is older? The 2.2 or the HBOOT?
I have S-ON
Android 2.3.4
HBOOT 0.92
Software # 4.08.605.2
Baseband 2.15.10.07.07
SLCD Screen
Thanks...I have been at this since yesterday. I didn't know it was going to be this much of a pain in the ass to do this

Somewhere along the way you either missed a step or something didnt work right. It gives the to new firmware error because on a stock phone you cant downgrade os versions. The steps in the thread should have made downgrading possible though. I would start from the begining and try again.
Tried 3 times and always get the same thing...will try again tomorrow.
Hello.I have HTC Desire.I tried many times to S-OFF it for make it rooted.I have tried many times "revolutionary method" but always gives error.Error says "STALEMATE DETECTED- Pressing the stalemate resolution button.Rebooting your device to resolve(already temp-rooted)" or "Connection unexpectedly failed (or like that )" I don't know hot to solve.I uninstalled HTC Sync and installed Android SDK Manager.In drivers it says "MyHTC" and latest version.What can be wrong?How can I fix it?I really need help.

Try to flash the official GB update first and then try Rev method. Keep only the drivers installed after RUU update.
Hope that helps.
