Updated to the latest version, 4ext Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC9
EDIT: No need to rename it now, just download and put on sdcard.
Edited because some people could not get it to work because renaming it was the hardest thing in the world :banghead:
All credits to Madmaxx for this great recovery....
Download PB99IMG.zip and put it on the root of ur sdcard (not in a folder) and then with ur phone off hold volume down + power. ur bootloader will look for the PB99IMG then ask u if u want to update recovery, volume up for YES, it will then ask you to reboot device, volume down for NO. Once its finished u now have 4ext recovery and just use volume buttons to navigate to recovery then press power button to enter recovery. I have tried it myself and it works, its the exact same method to install as Alpharev's hboots via PB99IMG.
Dont forget u must be S-OFF lol
Dont forget to delete it off sdcard once ur done or u will get asked to update everytime u enter bootloader

(Also u can extract the PB99IMG.zip file and flash recovery.img via fastboot commands or android flasher)
phone asks to update, i have to start it with vol-up, but i have a little problem: my vol up button doesn't work, is there any other solution to start?

Hi guys. I tried all the instructions, but the problem persists .... I have PVT4 S OFF .... zip file will be installed through the bootloader but nothing changed and the desire to restart the htc logo .....
not sure what ya mean. the phone shouldnt boot unless u pressed reboot. once u have PB99IMG.zip on ur sdcard, hold volume down + power then bootloader will find PB99IMG and ask update recovery? volume up for yes, once its complete it asks u reboot device? press volume down for no then u will stay in bootloader menu and then press volume down to navigate to recovery n press power button to enter recovery. simples
i have tried it myself coz i wouldnt post it otherwise

i unpacked your zip file and installed the recovery.img via fastboot commands, but this didn't work, i still have the bootloops!
When in recovery did u do a full wipe? then reinstall the rom? Also make sure u have partitioned ur sdcard to whatever the dev recommends and have the correct hboot for that rom aswell

I've got a problem which is similiar,
The Desire was rooted once through alpharev, custom romed and used for a couple of days. Afterwards the rom was crap and the user decided to get back to 2.2. I don't know how the user installed 2.2 stock froyo but it was up and running again.
Now Root is wanted again, so i installed CWM 5.0.2.0 through fastboot, i can access CWM but as i select a feature like for example "wipe data/factory reset" or "reboot system now" only the background of CWM persists and the blue menu vanishes.
Returning to normal mode just through pulling the battery.

I would recommend 4ext recovery personaly. Anyway download the PB99IMG and rename it to just "PB99IMG.zip" put the PB99IMG.zip on ur sdcard, boot into bootloader (vol down + power) and it will ask to update recovery, vol up for YES then it will ask to reboot device, vol down for NO. Then boot into recovery. Check if the rom is on ur sdcard by selecting install from sdcard. Let me know what it says.
Or u can download a new rom of ur choice by searching Desire Android Development, if u do choose a new rom let me know what coz ul more than likely have to partition sdcard and change hboots.

Thank u for the quick reply. I'll try 4ext instead of cwm, but iam a little bit confused what the difference may be.
Iam familiar with rom installing and sdcard formatting with ext partition for more space, i just cannot install any rom.zip because the recovery doesn't let me access its features.

"Revolutionary"?! Your recovery should either be ClockwordMod (Cyanogen...?) or 4EXT. Where's did you get Revolutionary? Revolutionary is the software that Roots the phone for you but that's on your PC and not the phone. :-S

Anyway, to install a ROM you should clear everything. Just like when you install an OS on a PC. So format your Cache, Dalvik etc etc. Then install the ROM by "installing from zip".
what ever i do

it still stuck on the revolutionary screen

Reflash the recovery in fastboot. Get 4EXT Touch recovery, boot into fastboot and write in cmd
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
u can get latest 4ext tecovery in my sig, just click PB99IMG 4ext recovery and extract the zip file then put recovery.img in ur c:\ drive on ur computer, put ur phone into fastboot (with ur phone off hold back button + power) and plug it into ur computer (so it says "fastboot usb") then open fastboot command window and type -
fastboot erase recovery
(then type)
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
or... u could just do it the PB99IMG method, instructions in that link.

Damn. It's not working - neither ur way, nor the alternative solution.
When i type fastboot flash recovery, the console says "sending recovery <3784 KB>...." and then it freezes. There is a greeen rectangle in the left corner of the smartphone screen, but nothing happens.
When i tried the alternetive way (with recovery.img on sd card) HBOOT hasn't seen the image.
EDIT: I put ZIP on sdcard, HBOOT installed recovery, but it still freezes on HTC logo screen.
when u used PB99IMG to install recovery did u try enter recovery or just reboot?

When i installed it form bootloader, i didn't reboot. I tried to get into recovery immediately. No dice. So i've reinstalled it, tried to reboot, and then get in the recovery - still nothing.

1 more thing, Have u got HTC Sync installed? i think that it interfere's with fastboot n that. u only need the drivers installed.
U can get bootloader so it should be fixable, its just nothing is working lol.
The only thing i can think of is going back to s-on :crying:
you would have to flash alpharev downgrader, flash stock hboot and then run the 2.3 upgrade from bootloader. this is last resort so maybe someone can confirm first before trying. if it went well then u can just use revolutionary to gain s-off and instal CWM recovery
i wouldn't mind going on s-on again. But can u do that without ADB mode available?

not 100% sure but u can do it using the PB99IMG method. Basically u have to extract the rom.zip and rename it to PB99IMG.zip, put on ur sdcard then hold volume down + power then bootloader will ask u to update. The same as before. just make sure u flash Alpharev downgrader first. (i know this works as i done it myself 2 month ago)
if u want i can post both downgrader and rom zip files if u want as PB99IMG?
Do u have stock hboot?
i guess stock hboot.
It would be very kind of you if u post both files here - i don't want to download any wrong files....

What ROM are you using? Did you do anything just before this happened?
The best thing to do is to wipe cache/data bebore re-flashing your rom and it will be fine.
I've done this every time my phone stuck on splash screen.
BTW think about making an NANDROID when your rom is fully and correctly installed, it will avoid some problem in the future

Try get recovery using the
PB99IMG 4ext recovery in my sig.
Put the PB99IMG.zip on ur sdcard then boot into bootloader (vol down + power) and bootloader should find the zip and ask to update recovery? Volume up for yes. Then it will ask to reboot? Volume down for no. Then select recovery using volume buttons to navigate and power to select. Once in recovery, format all partitions except sdcard, wipe dalvik. Then u can restore a nandroid backup or just flash a new rom. If u need to flash a new rom then just make sure to partition ur sdcard to what ever the rom OP requires.

Hello,
Does anyone know how I can root mij HTC desire with stock android 2.3.3 ROM without using the volume buttons (they're broken). I've tried the unrevoked method, but it doesn't work on 2.3.3. I can't try revolutionary because I'll have to use the volume buttons in the boot menu to root.
So... does anyone has a solution?
Thanks in advance!

U root the phone by flashing superuser.zip file in recovery. My thinking is get s-off (revolutionary) and install CWM recovery through revolutionary then download rom manger (even tho its not recomended, but is fine for basic use) and u can use that to boot into recovery coz ur volume buttons dont work and u cant do it bootloader way.

But after I've made the phone s-off, how do I add the custom recovery? I need to get in fastboot, and to get in there, I need to use the volume keys, right?
Edit: and if I manage to put 4ext on the phone, how do I boot the phone in recovery? Does the CWM app works with 4ext? so if I click on reboot in recovery on the CWM app, will it reboot in 4ext recovery?

Did u even read my posts?? U install cwm recovery through revolutionary. When u run revolutionary it will ask to install cwm... Type yes or Y, whatever it says then once thats all complete u will be s-off and have cwm recovery installed. Then download rom manager and use that to boot into recovery and use trackpad to navigate and select. That way u can flash superuser.zip and after all that u will be s-off & rooted.

Ok here's an update. I've done everything step by step. The S-OFF process worked and I've flashed CWM recovery with revolutionary. There's only one problem, I can't acces recovery mode via ROM manager. It keeps giving me the error: "An error occured while attempting to run privileged commands!". Does anyone has a solution?
Edit: Don't you have to be rooted to use ROM manager to reboot into recovery?
Edit: Nevermind, I did it using adb. Thanks all!
Ah balls... Yh thats coz u dont have superuser rights yet. Thought it mite of worked. Ul have to try setup adb & fastboot, coz theres a command to boot recovery
adb reboot recovery
Theres a guide in my sig

I'm currently using Official 2.3.3, and I use revolutionary to S-OFF my device.
Now my hboot menu is showing AlpaRev and hboot 6.93.1002, and I'm able to enter the recovery.
MY PROBLEM is that, in RECOVERY MENU, I just stuck in there,
I can't enter(can browse using vol+- key or track ball) any selection of the menu
when I select either one, my phone just show REVOLUTIONARY, when press power button it back to recovery menu.
Can't even Power Off or Reboot System....Have to pull out battery, any one can help please?
Install 4ext recovery touch. Check my sig for the pb99img zip.
