[Q] htc desire doesn'root -please help- - General Questions and Answers

HI guys,so i have this issue:
I've updated desire with RUU to 2.29.405.5 with 32.49.00.32U_ radio 5.11.05.27 HBOOT 0.93 sometimes ago, after having rooted,in order to restore phone.
Now I want to root it again but I can't!! Unrevoked3.2 goes well untill it reboots and then says 'connection to phone lost.try again'. I've also tryed downgrade method 2.3 to restore HBOOT back to 0.80: Windows prompt says cannot detect the device.
I properly installed HTC sync drivers,modified HBOOT driver from Unrevoked,ran unrvk 3.2 as administration in win 7 but no results.
I tried using a RUU old that my current firmware but it says cannot install it.
Cables and usb port works fine (HTC sync goes fine).
So guys I don't know what to do ,if you have many suggestions I'll appreciate it a lot.
Thank you in advance.

[Q] HTC Desire fail after OTA update

Hi, I've been using my unbranded HTC Desire for a few months now, did the OTA update to Android 2.2 about a month ago. About 5 days ago I got a notification that there was an update available, I started the installation, got an error that it could not back up my data and acknowledged that but to my surprise it continued to perform the installation. Now the phone reboots about every 2 minutes, the status bar shows no connection even when I'm surfing the web, checking e-mail or answering a call. After kicking it back to factory defaults at the advice of HTC I had no change in conditions. ATT naturally said an HTC what? Flash a ROM, what’s a ROM (HTC recommended that move as well). So I figured well I'll flash the ROM myself, only problem with that idea is I can't create a gold card because the device does not recognize the SD card. I put the SD card in a Samsung GalaxyS and it reads it fine. I used several WWE bravo trying to flash it across the usb but it failed stating the ROM was not correct for my hardware.
Any help finding a ROM I can flash across a USB or any other ideas you may have would be of great help.
You could downgrade HBOOT 0.92 to 0.80 and maybe install an older update rom to see if it changes your situation, it might work!

[Q] Wifi error

Hi, having problems with wifi error. It won't turn on at all, just says error
Here's my setup:
HBoot 1.18.0000 S-ON (can't for the love of my life get S-OFF btw)
Android version 2.3.4
HTC Sense version 3.0
Pyramid3D v7.5.0 XE By CdTDroiD
Kernel 2.6.35.13-g3422292
htc-kernel(a)and18-2 #1
Radio 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M
Build 1.72.401.1 CL158123 release keys
WebKit/533.1
Telenor Norway
I unlocked the phone the official HTC way.
Everything else seem to be working just fine. Any help appreciated!
usually it got problem witk kernal. better check back .
Ok, thanks, I'll see if I can find out anything in that department.
Finally managed to get the mess cleaned up. After fiddling around with revolutionary for ages, I got the phone S-OFF'd. I think uninstalling HTC Sync and previous drivers, then installing new ones, were the key to success here.
Flashed the newest insert coin ROM with the built in kernel and behold!: wifi!

Htc locked screen after installing hack ace

Hello guys, sorry for my english, I am writing to put my problem that is plaguing me for days.
I have a htc desire hd was previously a 2.3.5 with sense 3.0, I tried to do this firmware directly from the root with a guide xda but without success. Once this is done I prepare to do the downgrade. After a few tries I managed to do the downgrade and have the ClockworkMod "ace hack kit". The problem is that when I go to install the custom rom (in my case the blackout incredible 4.0) proceeds smoothly with the installation hangs at boot time and the initial htc screen. The only way to return the phone function is to install the rom PD98IMG by the bootloader.
Obviously installing this rom I have to redo the procedure of s-off, kernel etc from hack_ace.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance
ps: I just noticed that I have the htc screen after the proceedings dell'hack_ace. Once you go to install the kernel and radio phone hangs (but manages to get safely into recovery, bootloader etc.)

[Q] Sensation Falling Apart

Hi all , I had my sensation for a long time , and suddenly i decided to unlock bootloader s-off it and do a custom rom
at first i unlocked the bootloader via htc.com method
then I kept my device s-on and flashed 4ext
i flashed revolution rom and everything was fine until one day the apps like facebook and whatsapp didnt have an internet connection through wifi
only 3G connection , although i was connected to wifi but no response
i tried to reflash the rom but then the wifi didnt work at all , kept going on again off again
i thought i should make s-off
i used jupotntbar method ( wire trick ) and s-offed my device
i tried the rom again nothing happened , all was wrong
then all of a sudden my USB didnt read at all , anytime i plug it in it is on charge only mode and doesnt appear to connect to the pc , i tried different PCs but no luck
i tried changing radio and ril , i changed the recovery , until i installed CWM recovery ( using rom manager via 3G ) and the wifi was on again and sometimes it fails but it works .... still no USB
if anyone can help me i would donate and thank him a lot
i cant go to a service center becuz i have none in my country

What happened seems quite weird, but sometimes happen. Did you try another ROM? Sometimes problems start without any apparent reason. When it happens you can either wipe your phone and start your system anew, or you can flash another ROM (again with full wipe).
As a personal preference I prefer 4EXT recovery, but if you say clockworkmod works best for you, keep it. I don't have enough understanding to know the impact of the recovery on regular usage (I know it has impact on when the phone is off).
Try another ROM, that would be my first advice. Or maybe even RUU (Since you got S-Off now, I suggest you get yourself SuperCID. There is a guide in the general forum).
Here is a list of ROMs that worked flawlessly for me (or at least without any apparent bugs):
albinoman's CM10.1 (no HTC sense, awesome ROM if you can live with AOSP)
ViperS 1.6.3 (works great)
ViperS 3.1.2 (apparently works fine, but since this ROM is fully ported (awesome work of SebastianFM) there might be the occasional glitch)
AndroidRevolutionHD - I used a (much) older version and had some issues with wifi (fixed with a newer version), but a good ROM.
And most other ROMs work fine as well, just didn't get to try them myself.
If nothing helps, after you get SuperCID, yuo can try using an RUU to restore your phone to stock. It will also flash the firmware and radio partitions, which might also fix stuff. After you get SuperCID you can use any RUU you'd like.
Good luck.

Hmmm.... That complicates things. It's allways a possiblity that this is a hardware problem, but let's try something else. If changing ROM doesn't work, maybe flashing firmware will help. Get a PG58IMG.zip file of either 3.32 or 3.33 firmware from this thread, and flash with the instructions of the thread.
Very Important! Check the md5sum of the firmware you download, as it can permanently brick your phone if it's not flashed correctly.
Good luck. If that doesn't work, I doubt if anyhing will. If you do manage to get USB connection, I suggest RUUing anyway, to get a clean install for your device.

Then I'm afraid I'm out of suggestions. Just to be sure. Did you try another cable? What did the computer recognize (in device manager, it should show something for the device as a USB device)?
This might lead us to a new direction.

On what ROM you're currently on? Did you perform S-Off method after returning to Stock? For S-Off the prerequisite is Rooted stock ROM.
I faced this issue when I was on MIUI ROM and my PC didn't detected my device. I suggest you should flash the ViperS JB after a Superwipe. It have MTP support and it let the PC and Phone access SD card at the same time. I am sure it will detect your device after flashing ViperS JB. Also try uninstalling the HTC drivers from your PC and install the latest HTC drivers. I am not on PC otherwise I would have shared the link for latest drivers. Also try connecting your phone with original HTC Cable and USB port 2.0.

for the latest htc drivers see here

by the way you can flash a ruu.exe without pc via pg58img.zip

[Q] One S rebooting after Nand Restore [Critical]

Hi.
I'm working on my girlfriends One S, which recently had:
Viper Rom 3.1
HBoot 2.15
Unlocked BL
Radio 1.15
After constantly getting random reboots, up to 20 times a day, I tried to S-OFF her device - without success - to update radio and kernel.
As far as I as know you need to be S-OFF to update kernel and radio, is it so?
Well I tried to restore her device from a NAND backup (which was using TrickDroid 9.0, or something), but now it is constantly rebooting while "system isn't responding", and it isn't asking for the PIN-code and not connecting to the mobile network. Basically it is stuck when fully booted. I can't go to settings to enable USB debugging or anything...
I am able to go to recovery and the bootloader and that is it..
Please help.. what do I need to do?
