Rooting HTC Deisre does not work - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have then tried rooting my HTC Desire using SuperOneClick, Unlock Root and Unrevoked, but all of them have failed. It seems that they all try to install some drivers and fail and then cannot proceed. Does anybody have any ideas what I could try? Or maybe I can provide you with more info?

Rooting Desire

Hello guys.I have a HTC Desire with 2.29.405.2 firmware and 0.93 bootloader.I tried several methods to root it but i did not succed.I tried Unrevoked 3.32 but it says that the firmware is to new.!!!???I tried more manual methods as well but without any luck.Any sugestions?
Have you changed the hboot driver as per unrevoked instructions in the more info section?
If so, try removing the SD card prior to using unrevoked. Worked for a friend of mine

Or even better try 3.2
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I had the same problem and 3.21 did the trick for me
same - i had to use 3.21 reflash_package.exe to get it working
i thought you could get it from http://downloads.unrevoked.com/ but can't seem to find it anymore...
logic would say its in something like http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.21/reflash_package.exe

Try connecting it in disk drive mode, I know it says to connect in charge only but that's what I did after it said my firmware was too new and it worked for me

Rooting is goood! Thank you XDA!
I'm pretty new to the whole root/reflash game, so excuse me in advance if this is a nub question
I just used the unrevoked version linked above (3.21) and it seemed happy with rooting my phone (I'd tried other versions before that didn't work; and I did install the Hboot drivers linked in the unrevoked wiki). Now I'm not sure how to actually check if my phone is rooted properly. I've got the Superuser Permissions app installed courtesy of (AFAIK) unrevoked, but it's empty when I run it. My phone is still S-ON, but from what I understand I need to run AlphaRev to get it S-OFF.
Basically, in my current state is my phone rooted or unrooted? And what do I need to do to fully root it if it is unrooted?
Currently it reads the following when booted into recovery:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
Aug 10 2010,17:52:18
Thanks XDA
Why not try downloading an app that requires root? and see if it works, something like Root Explorer possibly.
Superuser will be empty until an app that requires root permission is used then Superuser will ask to give it permission to run and save the details.
Hope this helps.
Is there any tutorial on how to install the Oxygen Hboot? I found some tuts to install custom Hboots which requires to type some commands, and I don't know where to to type them
edit: sorry, wrong thread!!!

Got any free apps that require root? Not sure I need to spend money on an app just to check if I have root :\
Also, I assume once I'm rooted I'll need an app to remove some of the stock apps that come loaded? Some of the apps on the phone I never use and don't need (Messages, Facebook, Flickr, and a couple others).

I assume you are using Windows: Do you have the drivers installed for the phone?
If not, install HTC Sync (that will install all the drivers needed) and remove it again. Then try again.

I had hboot 1.01.001 when I got S-OFF with alpharevx.

does it works for HBOOT 1.01.002?
There are different versions of 1.01.0002. AlphaRev X does not work with all of these .0002 versions. You might want to downgrade your HBoot to 1.01.0001, then it will work.
Guide to downgrade can be found here:

read the troubleshooting guide sticky at the top of q&a, it explains everything
Hmm, i already said all this to OP when he sent me a pm couple days ago. I give up..
the rom upgrade doesnt seem to install, it says its not meant to be flashed and may have to be done from bootloader??

Once again:
Read the troubleshooting guide sticky at the top of q&a, it explains everything. Yes it even covers your EXACT situation...
It turns out you're not the first person to try to run an RUU...
Guides like that have been made to specifically explain every single eventuality, so you don't have to open another thread explaining exactly the same thing. We are not here to copy paste the very same instructions. Please read and use it.
That file worked for me. U sure u even got stock hboot.
