said that I had root... but when I went to install recovery, didn't work... phone is a brick as this second.
edit: unbricked... no root though. If someone with more talent would like to give this a try, it might work, I may have messed up somewhere. This doesn't appear to give s-off.

I personally would try to find a used, XTC clip. if u can find a beta one that would be even better as any clip you by is now unlimited, no need to buy to before higher priced "unlimited" clip that actually only was 100 uses anyway, each and every clip is now unlimited so it's def worth the investment, you can make your money back by passing it around, or just be nice to know that you don't have to worry about losing root if you need a replacement, you can help friensd out with it, and newer phones may get root with XTC clip before software root as this phone did, granted the boot loaders are locked still.

Maybe you were just holding it wrong lol. Ill try when I can tonight.
I don't know if you read the post but that exploit rooted an evo with a "not yet supported" hboot.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App

How about using zergRush for temp root, then misc version to trick it into accepting an old version RUU in the bootloader? Then you can S-OFF from within the downgraded ROM.

I am having this same "43 main version check fail" error and I haven't seen it addressed here (or anywhere else on Google can get to) at all. Does anyone have any info on how to fix?

downgrade your hboot, using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298990
Then root with revolutionary

I had a simliar problem, caused by not enabling usb debug mode. I didn't follow the instructions properly, the first try. The process did work very well once I followed it.

S-Off, Still could not root tried everything

Hello everyone,I am new to flashing and stuff.
I am trying to install a custom rom. So I unlocked my bootloaded by htcdev.
it's Hboot 1.09.0099 now.
I'm following this Tutorial.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538035
so then I tried UnLockroot,It failed rooting. I read on their dev website, it may be due to firmware differences.
then I tried HTC Supertool v3
Here's the log

I pasted both the files in SD card, rebooted in hboot.
then it gave me the "CID Error"
Then I thought I'd try running recovery directly it failed too. Please me, I'm totally helpless.
(Also I used to root by temp zerg rush, now I am unable to do that too )

Try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28153909&postcount=64
I had similar problem (but I have S-ON) and this method helped me - my phone is rooted now

I recently unlock the bootloader.... have you missed the subsequential steps after flashing rru? (Getting identifier token and send back to htc... etc)
I miss and get same result as you.
Enviado do meu GT-I9100

The gingerbreak vulnerability is fixed in the new firmware versions.
Try this:
1. Flash the CWM recovery.
2. Download http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip and put it to your SD card.
3. Enter recovery in the hboot menu.
4. Enter "install zip from sd card" and click Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip.

I need to see the outcome of the session in order to be certain about it, but 99% of the main version fails is due to bad downloads (antivirus eats zergrush wich is used to gain temproot)
Check that in the folder tools>bin there's a file named zergrush. If that is not there, then your download is flaw. Make sure you stop everything first and then re download the Kit. Make sure also that you are running the last version from attn1's site. :good:

buddy the downgrade didn't complete so u have 2 options now :
1 - take the ROM downloaded by the AAHK and place it on your SD and try flashing your DHD using hboot
2 - try finding the right RUU for your phone and flash it using your pc
now if u have completed either you'll be able to run the AAHK again and it'll work just fine
that's it
good luck

Log not mine
The log i used above is not my log,I cant get access to it now cos my buddy lives in another town.
I remember my copied succesfully.
While in Hboot it could'nt find 3 files.I go over today and bring back more details.

SOLVED erased sd card in phone
I erased sd card in phone and bingo it worked.

Hello,
Trying to root my first phone and downgrade it following the directions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1298990) very precisely...or so I thought. I keep getting an error at the second to last command when the rom actually gets flashed. Google has turned up several threads but those remedies don't seem to apply here. I'll give you my phone details as it stands right now.

Hello,
Trying to root my first phone and downgrade it following the directions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1298990) very precisely...or so I thought. I keep getting an error at the second to last command when the rom actually gets flashed. Google has turned up several threads but those remedies don't seem to apply here. I'll give you my phone details as it stands right now.
HTC Droid Incredible 2

Your link is broken. You should be using prototype's tacoroot method I believe. It's a sticky in the development section. Is that what you are using?

Just to clarify it is unlocked using the method from HTC. I can relock too if that is better.

Jehc is right. Go to this thread:
