I tried searching for this but to no avail.. if some one here has better searchfu than me just point me in the right direction but here is my problem.
Im using a 2.2 android HTC desire from O2 I was following the instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044 here to Root it. I installed the Hboot drivers fine and got Unrevoked working as far as i can tell.
I launch it and it goes through the entire process of restarting my phone into Hboot and then restarting again and stabilising then It starts to root.. says sucess then quickly changes to say "Internal Error: failed to unlock NAND flash?"
It then stops there restarts the phone and has had no effect at all..
Any help will be wonderful

Are you trying to use Unrevoked forever? That only works on CDMA phones (no sim card). If you just want root and flash different roms normal Unrevoked is fine. To see if it went oke boot in to recovery and see if it says ClockworkMod recovery. If yes, everything is fine regarding rooting.
If after this you want to S-off and have a GSM (sim card) phone use AlphaRev.
Im using the version available from unrevoked.com which i belive is just unrevoked
As for booting into recovery i try that... all i get is the phone symbol with the red triangle and then dont get past that when i push power and vol up..

This man speaks the truth, unrEVOked forever won't work on the sim card Desire. I you should now have standard super user permissions. if you do want S-off you will need to go the alpha rev route.
tried using a diff version of unrevoked and this time it says failed to flash recovery image
I just went through all of this with my own phone a few days ago. from what I have learned and read Unrevoked will not give you Nand unlock.
Strange. I tried the latest unrEVOked (not forever) on my unbranded Desire, and did not have any errors like these (NAND unlock, unable to flash). I have:
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
except the radio is 5.11.05.27
Hmmm could it be the radio causing the play up?

Maybe.
But i should give it a try. Download the latest unrEVOked from here:
http://www.unrevoked.com/recovery/
Also make sure, you have correctly installed the HBOOT drivers:

I do definitely have the latest version of both of those..

You've searched too far back
Use the guides here to explain everything better: http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/503471-desire-all-things-root-guide.html
Follow it all the way through particularly terminology etc. Everything you need to know is there
Then use the guide to 's-off' using revolutionary. It doesn't technically root but will fully unlock your bootloader which is more powerful.
hey ..i wanted to know about HBOOT.. what is hBOOT... and how do v know if it is stock HBoot or Custom HBOOt... more over ..
i have .. when i boot my htc desire..
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF..
when i have htc desire why does it say bravo and is there a way to change PVT3 to PVT4...
Moving up has no benefits - I'm PVT1 - and it can't be done anyway

to see what is hboot see alpharev site..it changes partitions of your system and space usable..to know what hboot you use just go to fastboot...shut down the power+vol down on top you see your hboot..
What he said ^^
Once S'off its amazingly easy to change Hboot...
hello,
i have a htc desire with froyo 2.2 rooted with unrevoked:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
after a few month of usage it reboot itself when using, now it won't boot there's a white screen with htc logo on startup...
when i go to the recovery it doesn't work the white screen appear again, so no access to the recovery...
i tried the RUU (.exe) method, i can't install because of windows not found the drivers, same thing after installing htc sync with drivers...
then i tried the PB99IMG.zip method and the result is that i have an error with a " main version is older " i have tried many version 2.29 2.1 .... and i have the same result : main version is older.
so please i need your help, if some one can rescue me thank you...
Have you tried to debug it yet, via adb logcat? At least it will give you an idea what's causing the bootloop.

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