[Q] CDMA HTC Desire root issues - General Questions and Answers

Ok so i'm new to this forum and new to android (former iPhone user). and i've read these forums up and down and i can't find an answer to my question. Ok so I recently purchased the US version of the HTC Desire (BravoC) (CDMA) and i used the most recent release of unrEVOked 3.21 to root my phone. and when it flashes i get
an error (status 42). i figured it was just something that i shouldn't pay attention to since when i rebooted the phone i have the superuser permissions app
but then when i try to flash a custom rom it says that they are all bad
I suppose i should mention that i have hboot 0.98
my question is this: how do i successfully root this hboot? and how do i install Froyo?

[Q] Help. Just need an answer regarding EVO rooted 2.2

I just rooted my OTA 2.2 EVO and now have a stock 2.2 root with hboot -0.76.2000
Im not too sure if I NAND unlocked but the guide i used didnt mention it, to run Cyanogen 6 i had to get 0.76 hbott like i did. Do I still need to NAND unlock to run the ROM? If so, how do I do such an act?

[Q] Unrevoked doesn't work for me!

Hi, everyone. I tried to root the HTC Gratia/Aria.
On windows (NOOBZ: The EASY guide to rooting your Aria and Installing Attn1's ROM (Win XP/Vista)) the program remains on "Waiting for root" and if I reboot manualy it fails. So I have tried with linux: I used a bootable usb (Ubuntu LiveCD with ADB and Unrevoked Recovery installer(Guide)). Again no luck : the terminal says "Error: n = -1,errno = 19 (No such device)" and the program gives me "Internal error: failed to unlock nand flash".
Any Hint??How can I root the Gratia/Aria?
Thx for all,
Nando

There are a couple of things that may be coming into play here.
1. Is this really an HTC Gratia and is it running Android 2.2? If so then Unrevoked can not root this version at this time.
2. If by luck you actually have an Aria and it is still running Android 2.1, then you need to download and use Unrevoked 3.21. The most recent version of Unrevoked 3.31 has an issue with some Android 2.1 devices such as the Aria.
Ops...I have an HTC Gratia with Android 2.2...I'll be waiting for news.
Thx for all!
Is it just the HTC Aria (S31HT, by Emobile in Japan, running 2.2) that has a write protection on the system folder, or is this the issue with all HTC Aria models running 2.2?
Several Japanese pages contain comments that due to this fact this specific model might never be rootable.

It woiuld seem that any HTC Aria/Gratia that is shipped with 2.2 (or more specifically HBOOT 1.0) is not rootable at this point.
Yes the hboot is what is holding you up. The hole they used to root the older hboots has been plugged. So you are just going to have to wait.
I see. Thank you both for confirming that for me.
that's happening to me too
hi, my friend wants to root his aria but he's got the same NAND unlock problem..
his aria came with 2.1 and he then got the official upgrade to 2.2.
this thread suggests that the hboot is the problem but surely an upgrade to 2.2 wouldnt change the hboot?
pls help
EDIT: he seems to have hboot 1.02.000 which means that he won't be able to root?

yes the official upgrade to 2.2 WILL change the hboot so no, he cannot root.

[q] new in android

Hi ,
I own Htc Desire with froyo 2.2 version sense
I wanted months now to root my device but I was afraid of losing warranty, but now I want to do it. But I have some questions
1.In all sites they talk about HBOOT 0.75 OR 0.83 my device have 0.93 version. would be able to do it with unrevoked method or it will crash?
2.Unrevoled methood what exactly does? It keeps the rom you already have but becomes rooted?
3. For being able to have another rom flashed i must do the S-OFF procedure no matter what?
4. In XDA-DEVELOPERS site I see some roms called PRE-ROOTED and ROOTED. What is the difference? and which of the 2 i should flash in my already rooted device?
5.If i decide to do unroot how i can manage to do that?
Sorry for all questions but i am newbie in android
Thank you in advance

Problems rooting HTC Status AT&T

Hi,
I bought an HTC Status AT&T unlocked (I am currently in Germany) and try to root it, in order to erase all anoying AT&T apps and link SD to have more memory.
I read and try a lot of stuff to root it but still stuck on the first step: having S-OFF. For example using HTCdev to unlock the bootloader works just find, without throwing any error, but no getting S-OFF.
The info of my cellphone is:
Android: 2.3.3
HTC Sense: 2.1
Software: 1.23.502.1
If any further information is needed just ask.
Thanks!
