I currently have a HTC Desire that was on the O2 UK Network. However I am having no luck in rooting the Device. Yesterday I contacted GSM Liberty and unlocked the Handset and this appears to have worked fine. However I believe the version of the boot loader maybe why I am unable to Root my device. The Hboot is 0.93.0001
Could this be the problem? I have tried using unrevoked and it will not detect the phone.
If anyone could offer me some advice it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Right, I have a big problem here...
This morning, I downgraded my HBOOT to the 0.83 version on my HTC Desire. After doing this I then installed the origional Android 2.1 Eclair onto it. Everything went perfect until my phone restarted, and then suddenly after unlocking my phone it asked for a SIM Unlock PIN. I have a PIN on my SIM, but this is the PIN you enter to initally acess your phone as a security feature, and when I inputter this code it DID NOT work. So I need quite a bit of help with dealing with this problem. I have managed to get a temporary fix on the problem, by tweaking a bit and installing a different pre-rooted ROM, however I would like to run a Un-Branded version of Froyo 2.2 on my HTC Desire.
I have a British HTC Desire on Orange Contract <I Have Heard Orange Contract Sims Are Blocked?>
All help is greatly appreciated, first post aswell so I hope someone can help thankyou

Hello,
I have tried to find an answer to my problem and can't seem to find it anywhere. Hopefully someone here will be able to assist.
Ok So I have an HTC ARIA, sim unlocked, and rooted using unrevoked3, running Aria Liberated custom ROM. Here is my problem I am not NAND (s-0ff) rooted. I have tried running revolutionary and also unrevoked forever. Neither worked. The problem is that I have hboot 0.57.0000 and I need version 1.02.0000 to make those programs work. Additionally, I need the phone to stay sim unlocked as I am in Germany for the next 3 years and am using a German cell phone company. So what I need is eithor a way to NAND root with hboot version 0.57.0000, or confirmation that if I install the stock upgrade to Android 2.2 (available on the HTC website) that my HBoot issue will be fixed with out loosing my sim unlock. I purchased the phone on ebay unlocked, I am not nor have I ever been an AT&T customer so I don't know where I would go to unlock the sim card again if it should become locked, and I don't know the code to unlock it.
Thanking you in advanced

Hello,
My wife's Chacha has been ota updated to 1.54.401.3. Result was broken wi/fi connectivity. Phone is however s-on and locked. So, I decided to s/off it and root etc. But, htcdev utility for unlocking bootloader does not work, since the latest supported version is 1.54.401.2.
I've tried to install RUU European 1.33, but without success (also tried with the gold card) .
My idea is to downgrade it somehow in order to s/off, root and install custom rom, since she had a lot problems with stock ones, but i am stuck. Any help would be much appreciated.
my wife phone does have problem with connection phone calls
Didn't root or any stuff (she does not need it)
Now all hell breaks....
but wifi works

I am in your exact same situation. My wife's phone seems to be an HTC Europe phone and I too can't unlock it because it has been upgraded automatically to 1.54.401.3. Did you manage any progress?
+1 Here. Chacha is rooted but s-on. Does not want to unlock again via HTC website, and unable to unroot.
Hello
I just recently purchased a HTC Desire 601 Zara. It's network locked with Alltel. This past weekend I did unlock the bootloader via the HTC Dev website. I tried to root the device with Kingo. When Kingo would go through it's procedures and at the end would say root was successful. But the phone isn't rooted. I can open up Kingo again and it would say "Rooted: no" . and Rom manager says it's not rooted. Also I noticed after trying to root the phone, bootloader has "tampered". This tampered message didn't appear until after trying to root the device. It wasn't there after I unlocked the bootloader. Based on what I'm reading, I can't get the tampered messaged off until I get the S-ON to S-Off. Wondering how I can do that easily and also I'm having a hard time finding stock ROM so I can use CWM. Where can I find stock ROM for this phone? Thanks in advance for any help.
Anyone??
