Fail to Root Desire - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, i'm new here, and YES! i have already a problem ...
So I got the Desire a few weeks ago, and I wanted to root it, then to install a cool ROM.
(I precise that I have Android 2.2, and HBOOT 0.93)
So I followed all the tutorials about rooting Desire, and I'm stuck everytime at the same point : UNREVOKED !!
I have done all the work like : HTC Sync uninstalled, download good drivers, USB debug, ..., and Unrevoked can't root my phone..
It says : " Rebooting
Waiting for bootloader...
Waiting for HBOOT to be ready
Waiting for Reboot
Internal error : couldn't find misc "
What's that ? I googled it but without many results...if you guys could help me please !!
Thanks !

did you try this guide? check part 15
are you on the stock rom right now?
and s-off or on?

Use revolutionary to s-off and install recovery, and then root.

OK so i did the Revolutionary method and it seems that it worked, but actually i can't say that i'm sure...how can i know that it worked?
I have installed Superuser but there are no apps in it...

You know revolutionary worked if you are s-off and have a custom recovery.

Root worked or not..?

So I rebooted holding Volume Down and Power, and on the menu it says S-OFF and Revolutionary is installed successfully. But I tried to use some apps which need to be rooted and it didn't work...

[Q] Unable Root HTCWildfire-A333

Hi Guys,
Having Problem in Rooting for my WildFire-A333.
Find Below are my Specifications.And Yes I tried both SuperClick and UnRevoked but it seems doenst work.
Model:HTCWildFire-A333,
S-ON(Unable to do S-OFF),
HBoot:1.02.0000,
Android 2.2.1,
Kernel Version:2.6.32.21-g6c55ee4
HELP!!!!
Thanks
How did you get that hboot, did the phone come with it? Never seen it before. Try to go to revolutionary.io and try to downgrade your hboot so you can s-off. After you have s-off you can then root and custom rom like mad ;-) if you can't downgrade the you can go to htcdev and get your bootloader *unlocked* but that will void your warrenty and they will definitely know about it.

Looks like you have updated the HBOOT from HTCDev site.
If yes you can use HTCDev site Bootloader unlock tool to unlock your bootloader which will make your device rootable. (it will still show S-ON though).
Nop,HBOOT came with this device itself.
i tried both htcdev,they says unable to bootloader for this ROM.
The HBOOT must have been updated somehow. Is it a new phone or did you get it second hand.
Did you try HTCDev method from the steps after the HBOOT update is done.

Nop its not updated it is as it is which i bought almost 1 year ago.
Its Not Second Hand
Yes I tried and result was unsuccessful.(ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED)
it says your rom version is not supported currently,but there will be an update soon that will be supported.
i have selected "hTC Asia India" as carrier. is it wrong??
I believe first you tried to update HBoot which failed then you tried to unlock bootloader without updating HBoot and that also failed.
If that is the case you have two options.
1. Search the forums to downgrade your HBoot to 1.01.0001, if you can successfully downgrade your Hboot you can use Revolutionary to get S-OFF.
2. Wait sometime to see if HTCDev site gets updated with support of your ROM and then try again.
Also if your existing ROM is India specific then you should select "HTC Asia India"
Mine is 2.25.720.1 CL299250 release-keys which is for India.
hello ,
i unlocked my bootloader using htc dev website ,and then i rooted the phone using gingerbreak v1.2.
the phone got rooted successfully but when i tried flashing CM7 on my phone ,through rom manager ,my phone restarted after asking superuser for permission .
after the restart , the phone hangs with a white screen with HTC logo .
i had flashed clockworkmod recovery before getting CM7 .
i tried going to recovery from bootloader and from pc .
please help guys ,i am really stuck in here .
sorry but this may help. Install CM7 using recovery not through rom manager. This may fix your problem.I hope =)

Hi.. u just try rooting your phone again using "unlockroot" one click tool(www.unlockroot.com) (as i did) or use htc super tool ...
Later install cwm recovery via fastboot method..plzz dont do it via rom manager as it just gives a temp recovery...
Then you can install custom rom's by going into cwm recovery..
IMP: make a backup of ur existing rom b4 flashing a custom rom and do a data reset b4 flashing..
hope this helps....
Still Not working Guys,please help I am just fed up with this message"low memory disk space"
Want to root anyhow..HELP!!

Sorry - I have followed the HTCDev side and I have unlocked the bootloader (it shows nice 'UNLOCKED' on power+volume down on boot). However I cannot find a way to actually root the device. How can I do it?

Follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22011309&postcount=4 post from me. I did it that way and it is the safest way because it does not try to use any kind of hack to root your phone.

Thanks. I have successfully flashed clockworkmod. Then I've made nandroid backup (and flashed cyanogenmode - it seems to be much more responsive).
The only alteration was that I have used the fastboot utility from Google Android SDK.

Happy that you succeeded.
The fastboot utility you needed to download from the suggested post was also from Google Android SDK albeit an older version.

Hello there. after years i recieved a HTC wildfire from a friend. and i thought to root it and install some custom roms.
It is S-off
Hboot version is 1.01.002
and i was able to root it and install superuser.

i tried rom manager method, and also via fastboot usb flash
The install process goes well but i can't enter in to cwm recovery. When i click the recovery option in boot menu it takes me to old recovery screen
Obviously i'm missing something here
Can you guys please help me out??

Hi! What cwm you installed? And from where?
Put that file on your SD Card and the HBOOT should detect it and install it. Tell me if it worked or not.

This is the tool i used to gain S-Off (http://revolutionary.io/) Its a further developed version of unrevoked3 for the HTC Wildfire and AlphaRevX for the HTC Desire. This tool should work pretty similiar to unrevoked (but i don't remember very well) so maybe you should have a look in the unrevoked3 thread, which you can find in the Wildfire Development forum at the top of the page.
Also read the revolutionary guide carefully :http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
And dont forget to install htc fastboot drivers!
I found a very good tutorial for revolutionary and the HTC Wildfire

Hello just bought a htc desire trying to root but where ever i go to download unrevorked 3 no link works can anyone provide me with a link please thank you
Don't use unrevoked, search for and use 'revolutionary' method to s-off your device, many guides available

S-off is more powerful: you can flash updated recoveries and different hboots for more internal memory.
Once you flash recovery you can already flash any ROM, not just 2.3 ones
You have not done enough research on revolutionary... http://revolutionary.io/
ive tried that version but beta key not working for some reason says aborting

Then it is likely that you are entering the code wrongly and / or you have not installed to modified hboot drivers
Copy/paste the beta key.

Hi, is there a guide to do this for a noob?
I tried this and its not detecting the phone. Reading some guides online, im a little confused. They say you need to root it first, then do a nandroid backup, because it wont load the ROM otherwise. I thought that alpharev.nl rooted the phone too, but it seem not to be the case, its just s-off. Any help?

If it's not detecting your phone then the drivers are not installed correctly. This will not root your phone. This will S-off and install a custom recovery. Once a custom recovery is installed you can then do a Nandroid back up (for safety) and flash whatever suitable ROM you choose. If you want to stay on stock ROM but rooted you can flash superuser through recovery.
