Can't root or s-off - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have desire with 2.3 , hboot 1.02. I' ve read many articles about how to root my phone, tried every method described but without success.
Unrevoked - failed to get root, is your firmware too new ?
Revolutionary - bad blocks, error writing to nand
HTC dev method - ruu update app force close while trying to update
Tried to downgrade with pb99img.zip and can't do that too.
Is there any way to root my phone anyway? I really need more space for my apps.
I've had similiar problems two years ago while rooting wildfire but I did it somehow through adb. I can't find any tut how to do it with desire.
Appreciate any help

This is what the folks at Revolutionary said:
[22:52] <@Revolutionary`> badblock is If you get "Not writing bad block at 0xXXXXXXX" errors while running Revolutionary, you have a hardware error on your NAND. We have no workaround for that at the moment, sorry.
You may be having a hardware problem.

So there is no option to do it in this situation? What about xtc clip?

So I will answer my question by myself. I finally figured it out:
- pushed and runned zergRush through adb
- downgraded os to 2.1 via pb99img.zip
- upgraded to 2.2 with RUU
- updated via OTA to version needed by hboot update
- updated hboot to 1.03
- unlocked with htc dev website
- rooted with htcsupertoolv3
- downloaded rom manager and installed clockworkmod recovery
And now I can enjoy this beautiful phone :victory:

[Q] HELP! Root desire hboot 0.93 without flashing a new rom/possible?

Hello there xda-devs!!
I own an htc desire A8181 (amoled i think) and i fell into the temptation to root it. The problem is that i updated OTA into 2.2 froyo and my hboot now is 0.93.00001 on which the unrevoked method wont work (at leat for me it did not, as it showed : "validation error: backup cid is missing" ). I have installed the modified drivers and my desire is unbranded. I was hoping to find a method to root without losing any data or settings and since everyone showed as an alternative hboot downgrade and custom rom, so i thought " what if i downgraded hboot but i did not flash a new rom ", but the question is "is it possible?"
As you may have figured out, i dont know much about rooting/flashing etc, although i have some experience from flashing kaiser and some others, but i am willing to learn. If anyone could give me a hint/link/suggestion or solution to my problem it would be gratefully appreciated
PS thank you in advance and sorry for my english

AFAIK, the latest unrevoked works fine with the 0.93.00001 - quite sure I read this in one of the threads.

Thanks for the quick response! Actually these posts were the first that i read when i first thought of rooting and i believe that i have correctly followed the steps of the how to for the unrevoked (version 3.22 straight from the unrevoked site) and i tried twice on different computers(both running win xp home x86). As for the alternatives on benko's tut, none of them supports OTA 2.2 froyo...
After thought and some reading, I decided that I will downgrade to 2.1, root using unrevoked and then flash to prerooted froyo. Actually, since the point is not to lose settings or data, does anyone know a safe way to back up everything and restore them to the new rom?
I have the same model as you mate and the latest unrevoked worked for me, I downloaded the one straight from their website.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Had you also updated OTA with froyo? If yes then why doesn't it work for me? I am sure that the phone is unbranded. Maybe it's something else and not hboot? My current specs are:
*Hboot:: 0.93.001
*Radio: 5.11.05.27
*Rom: 9.29.405.2 (got the update a week ago)
The only thing that I did not follow in the unrevoked guide, was that I didn't select hboot while loading the drivers, because I could not, no matter how many times I pressed the volume down button.I just waited for it to change to usb plug. Could that be the problem?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Something else I noticed the first time I tried with unrevoked, was that in the revoked window it showed "triumph" for a moment and then it rebooted for the last time and then it showed "validation error..". Strange is that it never showed it again not even on the 2nd or 3rd try...What could that mean?

Thanks for the tip, but this is about BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON while my desire is PVT1 SHIP S-OFF and it says that these are able to root but not flash a Rom, while I can't even root.. and the errors do not match..
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
If you're S-OFF now then you don't need to root - if anything you might be already!
As you hadn't said anything about the rest of the HBOOT I thought I'd mention it but I'm on 0.93 and can root with no issues
And what does it mean? I am already root and I don't know it? And why does then the unrevoked method not work and where is the superuser app?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
If the Superuser app isn't there then you're not rooted, so that clears that up...
Go read the S-OFF thread in Development and post a query on there. It sounds like you may have a facotry unlocked bootloader which is extremely rare but best go and confirm it in the forum
Ok. I'm going now. Thank you Eddy and the others for your great help
*forgot to mention: the s off I wrote was after the failed tries with unrevoked(before I hadn't noticed if it was on or off) also the phone was destined to be a demo in a store*

If possible switch to Ubuntu and root, its much better.
I have already installed the HTC sync drivers and removed the HTC sync, but I will try reinstalling..You think that through Linux it might succeed?

Hi I recently tried using unrevoked 3.22 and it really didnt seem to work as I got a "validation error: backup cid is mising". However after a reboot I found myself in clockworkmod recovery, so that part seemed to work. However straight afterwards I tried to start the phone, I discovered had no access to SD card and any attempt to access phone via USB also gone, it seems Bluetooth is also gone. However I got the SD card back again using FASTBOOT, has anyone got any ideas how I could possibly get USB back?
Hello cletus. I may not know the solution to your problem, but usually posting some further info about your device(HBOOT, radio etc) and the exact steps you made before that problem, might help someone that would like to help
I really hope that you find a solution to your problem

[Q] HTC Desire 2.3.3(Ginge) Downgrade to 2.2 Foyo?

G'day peeps,
I really didnt want to post this. Ive scoured for hours and hours though and although Ive found lots of downgrade threads from Gingerbread to Froyo the reported Radio version is always different to mine. As is the software version.
So heres my predicament. I (stooopidly) upgraded to Gingerbread but want root access!
The only way I can see me being able to get root access is if a downgrade is possible?
Here's my phone report
HTC Desire (NOT HD)
Android Version 2.3.3
Baseband Version 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
Build Number 3.14.405.1 CL96875 release-keys
Software Number 3.14.405.1
I believe my Hboot to be 1.06 or something.
Do I have any chance at all? And if so where can I find some destructions?
Thanks guys
http://revolutionary.io
You can root gingerbread, go to revolutionary.io
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Thanks guys. I had actually bookmarked http://revolutionary.io as a possible.
Im very pleased, now I have performed an entire backup and flashed cyanogenmod v7 (stable)
Runs like a dream and vrey customisable too
Now Ive a few more questions?
I am interested in trying out a few more roms to find the "one" I think I could be happy with for a while.
Heres are the roms Im interested in:
Virtuous Unity v2.35.0
Uncommon Sense
Sense-o-Villain
and very interested in TwoPointTwo
However, Warm for example states I need to download radio/wiimax updates.
Other roms have similiar requirements. Like a CM7 Hboot rev2 etc.
I've tried to work our if its safe or not for me to instll any of these and as far as I can tell it isnt.
Thanks again for all the help
Unable to downgrade
I tried all methods of downgrading but there is no success. But I have successfully rooted my HTC Desire running 2.3.3 with revolutionary.io method + CWD + su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.
Is there anyone in this world downgraded Gingerbread to Froyo?? I also have the same radio version 5.17.05.23 , but whenever I try to downgrade it says "main version is older update failed".

what is the ruu that u used?
if u want a froyo rom, just flash a rom from the recovery
if u want go back to stock froyo (why u should do this? u need warranty?) then fastboot flash the bravo downgrader hboot from alpharev.nl then the froyo ruu
Teppic74's downgrader used to downgrade 2.2 to 2.1 regardless of Hboot. The only thing it needed was temp root which it did for you.
Obviously the exploit used to root Froyo no longer works in GB, but if it already has root, it may work.
Heres the thread.
Although there is some question about erase size 40,000 devices so I would keep an eye on this thread for information purposes rather than jum,ping in and breaking things

its reported to work millions of time..the bravo downgrader is a 0.93 hboot..and the last froyo ruu has the same hboot version...
anyway when u have s-off, with fastboot u can flash every hboot u wish (its not like the ruu, there is no check in fastboot flash command)
I tried that myself and it failed due wrong bootloader version.

the bravo downgrader hboot from alpharev doesn't have a downgrade protection, over that u can run every ruu to overwrite it, thats what aplharev say

I had the same problem, the only solution that worked for me was this:
1. do your backups
2. use revolutionary.io to S-OFF and CWM
2. get

3. run it and let it downgrade the Android to 2.2
4. root using unrevoked 3 (not able to use external links yet, google it up)
Hope it will help

[Q] Installing Cyaongene mod on Wilfdire

Hi all,
I want to say, that I've read many of articles/tutorials of what I'm trying to do. Anyway I'm trying to install Cyanogene mod (ROM ? ) to my HTC Wildfire. I've downgrade it before from Froyo to Eclair (for some reasons ). I was trying to root it with Unrevoked but it doesn't work. I also try Revolutionary but it doesn't work too ! Anyway I'm trying to install ClockWorkMod Recovery now . I've install it via ROM manager, but it doesn't work (seems it's installed but stock recovery is enabled ). My HBoot version is : 1.01.0001 . S-ON (I think S-OFF should help but I don't know how to disabled it ). I'm getting crazy with this.
Please help me anyone.
Greetings.
Unrevoked will not help u and it is necessary to s-off ur mobile...
What exact procedure u adopted for using revolutionary?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
unrevoked
Thx for reply.
I know that I should have s-off before I use unrevoked but I can't figure out with it. I ran unrevoked and also revolutionary on two platforms : Linux and Windows xp. I just enabled usb debugging in my htc and then pluged in phone, and then ran unrevoked/revolutionary as root.
Anyway is there only hardware method to gain s-off on wildfires ?
Greetings
Go to revolutionary.io or just Google it....download window platform file and fill up the form...do it cautiously while entering ur mobile serial no. Which can be found on the mobile box....copy the no. Generated...it is alphanumeric known as beta key...now plug ur mobile to window pc debugging mode on of ur mobile....run revolutionary and when ask enter beta key cautiously not mixing letter o with number zero...press enter u will have s-off...many user had get s-off with multiple time use of software

Dude you have to get S-OFF using Revolutionary or get S-OFF using an XTC Clip hardware box. If you don't, no matter how many variations or versions of Unrevoked you try, you will ALWAYS get an error.

Yea, but revolutionary doesn't work and I can't figure out why. I heard about xtc clips, but it's expensive tool. Anyway how you 3xeno get s-off ?
Greets
I got via Revolutionary. And if you put proper details, it may be possible for members here to help you. You know, simply saying "It doesn't work" doesn't enable anyone to help you in anyway. There can be 1001 reasons why something doesn't work.
Ok, so what info do you need ?
Here is some details which I know :
HBoot version : 1.01.0001
Android : Eclair 2.1 (downgraded from Froyo 2.2)
Phone : HTC Wildfire (Buzz)
I think that's all info about my phone. Anyway I tried to use revolutionary from 2 different PC's on Linux and also on Windows (Win 7 and XP , Linux was Ubuntu jaunty jackalope and natty narhwal ). I'm getting following error an every time : "Failed to get root ;< " , on every try.
Post everything you get on the Revolutionary Screen. From the start to the end, for a beginning. "Failed to get root" on Revolutionary? It still sounds like you are using Unrevoked.
i can be silly at this point and sorry for that bt did u installed android windows driver before running revolutionary???
Ankurcul : yes of course
Anyway I finally get S-OFF with Revolutionary tool whitch is realy working
I shouldn't downgrade my android to 2.1 - that's the point. That's revolutionary couldn't take s-off. I've upgraded it to 2.2 (Froyo) again and revolutionary works pretty nice
I've also installed cwm recovery , and I'm going to install cyanogene .
Thank you all for helping me
Nb : I've got help on revolutionary irc.
k...just hit thank button if u really found me helpful lol...
Of course I've installed them
Anyway I finally get S-OFF with Revolutionary tool. I get help from Revolutionary team on their irc . I want to thank you all for interestig in my problem and for helping
I'm installing Cyanogene mod on my HTC Wildfire right now

[Q] Unrevoked 3 program get”s stuck at "Waiting for root...

Unrevoked 3 program gets stuck at "Waiting for root...”
I have been trying to root my device for last 3 days .I have done enough research and gone through various forms .
Following the guide ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035 ) successfully got my device S-OFF using Revolutionary .
In step 2 : according to guide downloaded and tried
“RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3 .35.15.31_release_130814_signed_2”
Got stucked with non-working touchscreen.
Again downloaded and tried “RUU_Buzz_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.24.707.1_Radio_13.5 5.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_161113_signed”
Now touchscreen is working but it is showing android 2.2.1 again .So what's the point of downgrading ?
Run Unrevoked and it is unable to gaining root.
It shows :
Running preboot seq….
Waiting for reboot…..
Running root…
Waiting for root…..( I have waited for 20 mints but it keeps saying this)
[ USB debugging is enabled
Usb drivers are installed
Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone. ]
After all this mind boggling i have reached here :
Android 2.2.1
Revolutionary
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.01.1002
MI CROP-0622
RADIO 3.35.20.10
Should I use different version of unrevoked ? 3.31 ? here..( http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/20/how...evoked-method/ )
But again in guide “androidybloidy” says in step 3 :”Download the test version of unrevoked (here). Let me repeat, DO NOT USE UNREVOKED 3.32 as it will lead to CID errors or to be precise this error
"Validation error, backup CID is missing".”
What to do now ? Do I need to downgrade to 2.1 éclair to use revoked ? Do I need to download Éclair RUU for India ? If “yes” where can I get the download link ? Some forums say I don’t need to if I have already got S-OFF.I am totally lost.
Now I feel like tearing my hair out.
Any ideas ? How can get around it?
Any help would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.
I wanted to try the method suggested by “3xeno” on #83
http://joel5121.blogspot.com/2011/06...-tutorial.html
but under “clockwork recovery” the link to “fastboot tool “ redirects to http://htcdev.com/ and there is no tool like “fastboot tool” on that page.Again the download link to “recovery for wildfire”in step 4 is broken.
What should I do ?
Should I follow this ? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1130044
Is there a way out ?
feel like throwing my HTC out the window:confused:
SOLVED
Finally installed ClockworkMod recovery and Rooted the device.
are you trying to put a custom rom on the phone or just root it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12188132&postcount=15 follow this guide to put a custom recovery on it, follow method 2.
now, if your going to flash a custom rom just do this from your new recovery and your new rom will have been pre rooted. (well, it should be ) if not then im pretty sure that there is a flashable superuser zip that will give you root once you`ve s-offed but i cant remember where i saw it but i think tht would be youe best bet without having to downgrade again.
how did you make it work cause im having the same problem
yeah if you said its working how did you make it work :was it using the non-test version or did u try something else
If you want to de-brand (downgrade Hboot from 1.01.0002 to 1.01.0001), root or flash I have a comprehensive guide to do that
It's in my sig

[SOLVED (HELP)] Need help with downgrading

hi, I just got DHD instead of my old Desire, which I rooted with no problems. I am not novice, and I wouldn't ask you all for help, but i really don't know, how to downgrade it. I found some tutorials, BUT THEY DON'T WORK!!! I dont know why, but when i'm trying flashing PD98IMG.ZIP via bootloader, after checking PD98IMG.ZIP, it says "error, main version is older"... I have GOLDCARD and i have always follow the instructions!!! precisely!!!!!
When i try downgrade via cmd and adb, after checking those things, it says no # but $..and thats wrong!!!
visionary or gingerbreak dont work with this version, i think...
Android 2.3.5 ; HTC sense 3.0 ; software number 3.13.110.4 ; radio 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
please help me.

After some research, I found, that advanced ace hack kit is still ready to use. AAHK method worked fine for me.

Do you got S-OFF?

Try downloading one of the RUUs from here. Just boot your phone to the bootloader screen and plug it in then run the correct one for your phone. If you can boot into a ROM you can also do that, then plug in your phone, and run the RUU. It will give you all the instructions. BTW codename for HTC Desire HD/Inspire 4G is ACE. So get one of those RUUs:
Edit notice I can't post outside links cause I'm under 10 posts.
Just google "Shipped Roms HTC Ace"
