Seriously ?? 2.1 ??!!
First install official 2.3.3 (you can download it from htcdev.com) then use revolutionary .
edit : sorry didn't see the first pic !! yep , I think you're rooted . Is there an app named "Superuser" in your menu ?? if yes you're rooted .

No there is not a "superuser" app
Where can I download the official 2.3.3? I can't find it

You are S-OFF but doesn't have the Superuser app yet most definitely.
To get root, you have to flash superuser zip found on Revolutionary FAQ page. Read it and it's there. Third FAQ item if my memory serves me correct.
Alternatively you can just flash a custom rom and it will have superuser out of the box.
EDIT: Here read common problems and questions. It's item number 4

What do I do with the flash files? Do they go on to the sd card or what?

Save that zip file on your SD card.
Choose Recovery on the hboot menu.
Depending on what recovery you have, look for something that says flash/install from sd card
select the file and let it do it's work
reboot

What do I do?

Looks like you haven't flashed a custom recovery yet...

Since you're using a desire with german language, I suspect that you speak german ;-)
Before you play around with your device, I think it's better to read and understand what you're doing. Therefore, brutzelstube.de is a great german website specially about rooting and modding the desire. Maybe you should just read the tutorials there and see what your device is capable of. If you need to ask what to do next for every step, you probably won't have much fun with your rooted desire. Especially if you want to flash a custom rom.
As it is a used device, what about the one who owned the device before? Can't you ask him what exactly he did?
You could also just install and run an app that requires root (like Titanium Backup or Rom Manager) and see what happens...

Seriously? Rom manager..... Fail
Like stankyou says, you need to flash a custom recovery and you'll need to flash superuser before you try to install any app that requires root access

Well, first of all there was the question if root-access works or not. Looks like the answer was no, but just trying it out does no harm. And since Rom Manager requires root, it should be ok for testing, just like any other root app. I didn't say he would need it.

Or he could just look in app drawer for the superuser app

I got it rooted and got custom rom on it Thnx

Sure, but since I saw more than one case where some apps didn't show in app drawer, I don't trust the app drawer anymore ;-)
@philipo84, have fun - now your phone is really smart ;-)

i know i`m rooted but the main problem is the radio, its causing heavy loss of speed over wifi network so i`m asking for the root on stock 2.2.1 wherein wifi works perfect and if i am not wrong its the radio downgrade that used to happen during the actual rooting process of downgrading the O.S. after S-OFF`ing the device so i also mentioned about the radio onto my actual post.

Ah, okay, to root stock firmwares you need to download a superuser.zip.
Get it from here: http://androidsu.com/superuser/

Sorry i dont know much about it so can u help me out in this and provide me the necessary links:fingers-crossed:

Download the recovery from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?398dklf1uzss5f6
Put it on the root of your SD card (not in any folders)
Boot the phone into the bootloader
Allow the update
Turn phone off and remove SD card
Boot into the recovery
If you did all this correct, you should now have CWM recovery installed.

Do u mean to do this when on android 2.2.1?

Yes, boot into the OS and put the file on your SD card, then boot back into the bootloader.

Also once you have got a stock rom rooted download this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...utm_medium=organic&utm_term=busybox+installer and install busybox as some root apps won't work without it....

[Q] Need help to root Galaxy Gio

Hello, Today I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Gio. Then I installed Rom Manager. But when I tried to Flash ClockWork Mod Recovey my device is not being displayed in the list that appears. So I am stuck. Please let me know how to proceed. My Android version is 2.3.3 Early help will be really appreciated. I want to install Cyanogen Mod 9.1. Hope to hear soon.
Thanks

It's better to flash CWM via Recovery. Look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32202039&postcount=4

Does it start at all? Cause i think you hardbricked your phone. Check my stickied thread for more details about rom manager.

umm he actually means tht he couldnt install CWM via ROM manager because his gio wasnt listed

And why using ROM Manager to install CWM? I think it's easier to install it via Recovery.

Thanks for the replies. Really appreciate the prompt replies. I have not bricked my phone as I was not able to Flash Clock Work Mod recovery. I have uninstalled the ROM Manager. Could you please ellaborate as to how to flash CMW via Recovery? My phone' android version is 2.3.3 This is the first time I am rooting my phone so I dont have that much of knowledge.
Thanks

Search xda for 'superoneclick' for root
Than use home+power buttons to enter recovery mode and install cwm-v2.zip or something.
But you should have root acces already otherwise theres no sense you installed rom manager

In the post it is written that the phone should have Android version above 2.3.3 Now please tell me that will I not be able to download it as my phone is on Gingerbread 2.3.3?

Yep. That means your phone is rooted. I rooted, installed CWM and then Cyanogenmod 9 (ICS) just yesterday.. Let me tell you, the ROM looks and works great

[Q] Is it possible to get root on primoc without flashing a kernel?

I know it's required to unlock the bootloader in order to gain root on primoc, but the directions call for flashing a kernel, and I'd like to keep my phone as close to stock as humanly possible. Is there a way to keep the stock kernel and get root, or is it the act of flashing the kernel that gets you root? The reason I ask is that I'd like to be able to use root apps, but I don't want to flash kernels/ROMs.
Sorry if this is a n00b question.
-------------------------
For any poor unsuspecting soul who finds this thread through the almighty Google... The procedure in the next post works. Apparently, if you get the latest and greatest TWRP recovery it will root for you, but the version of TWRP I found did not do that.

Follow the instructions and flash the recovery file and not a kernel. You should now have TWRP recovery installed. Download Superuser.zip from the official website and place it in your sd card. Reboot and go into Bootloader and then into Recovery. From there press the first button and go to where you left the Superuser.zip. Select it and let it finish. Now reboot and you should be rooted.

If you install twrp as the recovery it will promot you and root the Rom. With the stick kernel.

That wasn't my experience. I had to flash the superuser.zip from recovery to get the su binary and then install the superuser app to get root to work. The general approach does work though!

Superboot does work, but it installs a kernel as part of the directions, which is what I did not want to do.

Hi all,

i want to root it back, and i tried many times with unrevoked and it's not working.
i tried to downgrade or flash to stock hboot from alpharev and it didn't take any changes
anyone can help me for the solutions
thanks

Just flash supersu through your custom recovery (which I'm assuming you have since you s-off'd. If you don't have one, let me know and I'll tell you how to get one.
