Trying to use Unrevoked3 to flash my Desire GSM, but I can't seem to get past the "Waiting for device" part.
I have installed the HBOOT drivers properly, and I plugged in the phone via USB and I have USB debugging enabled.
And yes, I have tried running it from Administrator.
As far I've read, these are the only required steps for it to work. Am I missing something?

Suppose thats right, I'm not too familiar with these forums, though a mod could move this topic if needed.

check if youe phone is listed as having correctly installed drivers in device manager, if so, did you maybe forget to activate usb-debugging?

As in the HTC sync must be installed first, then uninstalled. The HTC drivers is a requirement for unrevoked to work.

You can uninstall the software itself after installing it while keeping the drivers.
Anyway, the drivers come with the software so you gotta install it at least once ;-)

Thanks, this fixed my issue
Now that my Desire is rooted, do you guys have any suggestions on what ROM to use?
Just used the default one that came with unrevoked3, but I know that there are more out there.
Preferably one with Froyo or Gingerbread (not sure if its available yet tho)
check out what they offer, most are different but have lots in common as well. Gingerbread ROMs are not available yet.
I wanted to install a custom rom on my Wildfire and I succeeded, but I realized that I didn't install hacked Hboot drivers. At first I thought they were not needed, because I used Alphrev X beta to S-OFF my phone. Are there things that could go wrong in the future, if I did something wrong?
thank you
EDIT: I want to S-OFF another Wildfire and install Custom recovery+rom, should I first install hacked Hboot drivers, or not since I didnt do it the first time?
Hacked hboot drivers are to be installed in pc right. They are the drivers for pc to interact with a phone in fastboot mode. Installing custom Rom is entirely done from phone without even connecting to pc right . Then why is the need of those drivers for installing custom roms. Not at all needed.
Hacked hboot drivers are needed for alpharevx process in Windows pc only. And I think if HTC driver (not HTC sync) is installed they are also not needed. I think HTC driver includes hacked hboot drivers.
I have used usb tethering and adb and fastboot flashing (of recovery, boot, system, data, splash and other things) only with HTC driver installed. I never installed hacked hboot drivers seperately. Although I haven't done alpharevx process in windows environment to confirm that.

They won't give you any problems with installing and using custom roms.
And you have already used alpharevx. The errors with the drivers will be either they will do the process successfully or they will completely interrupt the process. No long term effects.

sorry but i have one last question:
I want to S-OFF another Wildfire and install Custom recovery+rom, should I first install hacked Hboot drivers, or not since I didnt do it the first time im not sure?
For alpharevx process you need drivers in windows pc.
Go with this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15226717&postcount=68
I think HTC driver will be enough in windows platform. No drivers needed for Linux. And you can try that with just installing HTC driver first. A lack of driver will never brick your device. And if HTC driver is not enough then you can go with installation of hacked hboot drivers. And uninstall HTC sync if present.
Actually, I have done the process in Linux OS which is more compatible over windows.

I can't figure out for the life of me how to setup adb on my friends mac booted into windows (he has really old software so he has to use windows)...I dont see any SDK setup I only see SDK Manager, tried running that and I am just lost. I also tried doing it on my laptop because I have adb setup already but it wouldn't do a thing when I had it connected to revoked, and im pretty sure hboot was installed...any ideas?
Well with Windows, you need the usb driver, then hook up in charge only mode and with usb debugging on, then run the tool that comes in the bundle. Don't need adb for unrevoked.

oh...good grief...where can i get that driver?
---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------
problem is i go to download the driver, go to hboot, connect, and under device manager under other devices there is android 1.0 and USB Device and when I right click there is an option to update driver which just brings up the wizard and doesnt do anything, there is no option for update driver software
You're using these instructs?

Only other thought is if you weren't logged on as admin perhaps the option to update drivers wouldn't be present. Not sure tho.

Yes...course there not the clearest instructions but I seem to be doing everything right...I have never been so frustrated with rooting a phone and I have rooted 3 phones
what a disaster...still cant figure it out...ive been doing this for 5 hours now.
What version of Windows are you using? I don't understand what you mean by not having an option to update the driver. Never seen it before I guess.

There isnt an option when the wizard comes up to choose a file manualy, or browse my computer, or select a file? Every version of windows ever made has had the option to manualy update a driver, they just look different on different versions of windows.
Here is the driver if you need it. Just unzip it to somewhere on your pc.
http://dinc.does-it.net/android_usb_driver.zip
The file you will want to point it to in the zip is android_winusb.inf
The dInc is NOTHING like rooting a Tbolt. You only need two pieces of software and a phone that is booted up and running with USB Debugging checked under Applications.
Remove HTC Sync if it's installed. Install the modified USB driver provided in the wiki for unrEVOked. Connect the device and select "Charge" mode. Open the unrEVOked tool and execute it.
This will NOT work if you updated to Gingerbread.
It's also not assured to work the first time. Mine took 3 tries, but eventually worked. EVOs I've used it on have worked the first time or third time. It's not a sure thing because of the nature of the exploit used.
Use unrEVOked Forever if you desire a bootloader with permanent S-Off.
It's pretty much that simple.

Agreed. The only thing I'll add to this, since I just rooted my girl's HTC Desire and friend's DInc is this: I followed the Unrevoked Wiki and installed their drivers, Unrevoked forever, and set it up as explained. The phones would reboot as Unrevoked was working, but it would get to a spot waiting for phone to reboot, and they never would.
I realized with the HTC Desire that you need a different tool to root that phone, but you needed the HTC Fastboot drivers for Windows. I downloaded that driver as well, and everything worked. You can get those drivers from HTC Sync, just install it, then when you go to Control Panel to remove it, there should be 3 entries. Remove everything but the HTC Sync drivers.
You can also get them from Revolutionary, located here. That'll get you the HTC Sync drivers only.

I'm also thinking the Unrevoked tool won't be updated to support the dInc, if anyone was wondering. The Supersonic (EVO 4G), which is technically identical to the dInc, is now supported by Revolutionary. Version 0.5 will probably support the dInc, I'm thinking. Might be good if people looked there rather than the Unrevoked site.

I was wondering if that'd be the case with Revolutionary, pretty slick tool! Easy to use, and it supported the Desire so I'd think if it's supporting the EVO that the DInc would be too. I agree, that'd be the place to look.
S-off is included in the Unrevoked tool now. No need to flash Unrevoked Forever separately.

I hear you, I'm starting to forget things about it and I'm still running the thing.
I'm just holding out these last few months for either the Prime (hoping for the best) or the Vigor. It's time for a change.

If you want my opinion, I think development for the Vigor/Inc HD will be nothing short of explosive. A lot of what's been learned on the Tbolt will make it's way there and I think there will be a lot of back and forth on those platforms.

If you have never rooted this phone before, and this phone has the latest Gingerbread update then I don't think it's possible to root.
I may be wrong though.
And yeah I rooted my bro's TB and it was a bit of a pain (had to do terminal bullcrap and run a bunch of specific commands)
For the INC you just press big fancy buttons (make sure you have the driver on your PC) and it's done.
well thanks guys I will try again..he is on 2.2 so I dont believe thats gingerbread

No you should be fine. Try to find a way to get us some screenshots of the PC so we can get a better idea of what's up. Or just try it on a different pc for as much time as you have in it already.

I will be trying again today. I have everything setup on my Alienware M14x so I dont know if I can do it on the same computer I have been trying to set it up on his 2007 Macbook Pro (however I can't use ios because its too old for revoked so we have been trying on bootcamp on windows xp). I will try again using some of the info you guys gave. Should i do Revoked 3 or forever??
Hi everyone, I need a little help here, I tried searching and couldn't find anything. So here I go.
My friend has a Desire from Altel which is at 2.1-update1, and band 2.05.10.08.11
I am trying to gather information so I can root it for him. Like previously stated it is a Altel CDMA model stuck on 2.1 and I can't get the unrevolked to see the phone. what is the method to rooting this phone? Could someone point me in the right direction? Do I have to update it with the CDMA RUU version 2.36.605.1 from Verison?
Thanks for the help
Are you sure you have the correct USB drivers installed? If you dont have the usb drivers installed (or the wrong one), unrevoked wont be able to see your Desire. I thought Unrevoked needed custom usb drivers by unrevoked themself.
