How to Root Desire w/ HBoot 1.06

Have a US Cellular HTC Desire CDMA.
Android 2.2
HBoot - 1.06.0000
Radio - 2.15.00.11.16
Unrevoked method of Rooting fails.
Other thoughts?

Unfortunately, I do not have an answer. I am having the same issue. If I find anything I will pass it on.

Okay I've got temporary root at least. An app called visionary, not available on the market so google that to find a download, it is a one click solution. Temp Root option works but Permanent Root does not. It takes longer to boot and has to run every time you turn your phone on. Kinda a pain but its steps in the right direction.

So as I was searching the Cyanogen forums I got a suggestion. It ended up working great for me. I ran Z4root. I ran the app selected the permanent option and let it run for about 2 min. It will just stay "rooting". I shut the phone off and restarted it. Once the phone was loaded I ran SuperUser and it ran fine. I ran AdFree, Quickboot, and Titanium backup. the only issue is with Titanium back up and it only restored some apps before closing. Not a big deal because I only wanted a few. I think it would work if I backed up on 2.2 rather than bringing 2.1 saved app with data and try to restore on 2.2. All credit goes to dontbrickit on cyanogen forums. I used the quickboot and rebooted the phone and I still had root, so it does not seem to be temporary.

I tried z4root with no results. It says rooting, goes through the whole process then reboots. No root after. Temp root feature doesn't function either. Are you running the newly released uscell rom?

HBOOT 1.06 fail
Although I have never posted I have followed the works and efforts of the very skilled developers and pro-active user for some time now and I would like to say my hats off to you all, this is by far one of the most productive and progressive communities have seen yet, I digress. I’m having an issue with hboot 1.06 also, I was running CM6 (very happy with it I might add) but when uscc came with the OEM 2.2 I rolled back to 2.1 so that I could go forward with the provider update. This process went fine, I cleared tcash and sys cash wiped and installed OEM. Turns out uscc OEM sucks bad. I only did it for htc sense and it s NOT WORHT IT. HTC sense is cool but not worth the internal memory loss I have taken. CM6 had me at over 275mb free on fresh install, OEM 145ish….FAIL. not to mention its laggy as hell on the surface. So want to go to CM7 the issue is when did the OEM it broke my hboot, when go to recovery it takes me to some blue text I can choose but its update.zip CC, reboot and factory reset. I have used clockwork 15 ways, tried 3 htc syncs that all connect but the same thing happens,,,, when any of these apps get to the hboot it does the same thing BLUE TEXT, I have tried to port old backups as well and nothing can get past this broken hboot 1.06. any suggestions?

Info - I have a US Cellular Branded CDMA Desire. I have owned it for 3 months. Came with 2.1 Eclair, I was unhappy waiting for 2.2 so I rooted and flashed a couple different roms. I ended up with a Custom Froyo w/ Sense and a few Gingerbread features. I found out about update release for US Cellular so before updating I reset factory settings restoring phone to stock Eclair. Took phone to store, they upgraded to Froyo I played for a few days until I wanted to reroot my phone. Unsuccessful on at least 5 different tries with both Windows/Linux and many different options of unrevoked and settings. Found out that 1.06 HBoot was unsupported by unrevoked. So I studied what other people posted about their attempts and ideas. Found one person claiming to have rooted theirs. Unfortunately he did not give many details in his post about the exact process. Here are the steps I took to successfully root my phone.
Backup any data, media, programs you wish to your SD card.
Transfer your backup from your SD card to your PC.
Go to Settings>SD & Phone Storage
Click “Unmount SD Card”
Click “Format SD Card”
This will clear anything you may have saved to it, which might interfere with rooting/flashing
Once Formatting is complete
Click “Mount SD Card”
Now it is time to reset phone to stock 2.2
Go to Settings>SD & Phone Storage (You should already be there, unless you went back/home)
Click “Factory Data Reset”
Click “Reset Phone” in next menu
Phone should reset and reboot bringing you into a tutorial (US Cellular, unsure on other carriers)
Skip through all prompts
DO NOT edit/change/add anything
You should now be at the Home Screen
Go to Settings>Applications>Development - Enable (Green Check) “USB debugging”
Go to Settings>Applications - Enable (Green Check) “Unknown Sources”
Go to Settings>Connect to PC>Default Connection Type – Select (Green Circle) “Charge Only”
Go to Settings>Connect to PC – Disable (NO Green Check) “Ask Me”
Press Home Button
Put Phone Down
Leave Phone On (Do not power down) & Do Not Touch Phone until Told To
Your phone is ready to begin rooting.
You can attempt to use Windows if you really wish, but I find Linux to be a no-hassle idiot proof OS. Many people run across issues with either drivers, or sync, or possibly other factors.
Linux solves this issue by having an all-in-one OS. It already contains the drivers needed, and does not require installing or uninstalling of anything.
Evidently there’s a **** ton of options when it comes to Linux.
I used Ubuntu Desktop Edition 32-bit
I recommend using the same because my steps follow that.
Go to Ubuntu Dot Com *I can't post links yet"
Ensure Latest Version (10.10 when guide was made)
Ensure correct bit (32 or 64)
Click “Start Download”
If 10.10 32bit (693 MB)
If 10.10 64bit (695 MB)
Once download complete you will need to Burn the ISO as an “image” to a CD.
If unsure how to do this seek help elsewhere (it’s very simple)
You should now have a bootable trial Ubuntu CD
If your Internet is Wired you are set to continue if Internet is Wireless Router I recommend obtaining unrevoked because restart.
If Wireless
Go to Unrevoked Dot Com *I can't post links yet" and click “Download for Linux”
Save to Desktop
Once complete transfer “reflash.tar.gz” to USB Stick Drive
Remove Stick Drive
Insert Ubuntu into CD drive and close drive
Take steps needed to ensure Boot CD is activated upon restart
Once ready restart PC
CD should boot and “Welcome” screen displayed
Select “English”
Click “Try Ubuntu”
You should be brought to a “Desktop” containing two icons “Examples & Install Ubuntu 10.10”
If Wired
Click “Mozilla Icon” on the taskbar on the top of screen
Go to Unrevoked Dot Com and click “Download for Linux”
Open “Reflash.tar.gz” and Extract to Desktop
Close ALL open windows
Go to Applications>Accessories – Click “Terminal”
In the “Command Prompt Looking” Window type the following lines each follow by “Enter”
cd Desktop
chmod +x reflash
sudo ./reflash
Please Leave Terminal open
Unrevoked 3 should now be open
Connect USB Cable to Computer
With USB Cable connected
Connect Phone to USB (Yes you can now touch your Phone)
Unrevoked should recognize Phone and a “Prompt” should be displayed
Click “Ok/Yes” whatever it says I forgot I was so excited to not see another FAIL MSG
Sit Still DO NOT touch ANYTHING
Be patient phone will reboot multiple times
Should eventually see Phone Boot into the HBoot Menu
It will install clockworkmod
Phone will enter recovery menu
Unrevoked Window will hopefully eventually say something like
“Complete Safe to Disconnect and Reboot”
NOTE – Both my Terminal on Ubuntu & Recovery displayed multiple “Installation Aborted”, “Update Failed”, “ERROR”, and “Unsupported” lines in the log.
At this point you should be Successfully Rooted, and safe to reboot.
Superuser should be displayed in the app list
I’m not sure in what order I did what but I installed “Titanium Backup Free Edition” “Busy Box” and “Root Check” and played with each until Root Check displayed that I had both “Root Access and Busy Box Installed”
I do hope this works for you as it did for me. I refused to stay “unsupported by unrevoked” until a fix was available. I will try to help anyone with clarification in steps, or any questions/problems. I did find out that a version of Linux called “Slax” is available that has “root permissions” contained already. Which eliminates the entire “Terminal” step making it unneeded?

The reason that this worked for you was because you have previous used revoked and are now s-off. With s-off, you can reflash recovery and superuser without unrevoked being supported. Others will probably still have an issue.

Does not work on USCC HTC Desire CDMA with HBOOT 1.06 that are S-ON.
We need a way for those of us USCC HTC Desire users who have Froyo as a stock ROM with HBOOT 1.06 S-ON to get that set to S-OFF. Currently no product to do so exists and while I was pointed to the #bravoc IRC channel by the users at #unrevokedtest, there wasn't anyone home. Though I have been reading at AndroidForums that someone named Matt is currently working on one. I'm not going to hold my breath at this point...

I think unrevoked is working on it. However, it could be awhile till a new exploit is found.

I am as well, I use an EVO, but a lot of my friends are picking up Desires cause of a ZERO cost promo.
All ship 1.06
all have S-ON

Anyone with the 1.06 HBOOT should try out this exploit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
It says it may work on some Froyo builds and it is the first new exploit I've seen in awhile. I say give it a shot.
WARNING: CAN CAUSE SDCARD TO BE FORMATTED SO BACK UP FIRST AND READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
Post your results if you have any luck!

wont fix the s-on problem according to the first post, so even if you get root access it'll be removed once you reboot :/

It is possible to have permanent root access without s-off. The goal of getting root is so a custom recovery can be installed.

ah, so what can be done with root access when you can't access the system folder to make changes? Or am I missing something about the whole process...

[Q] Samsung Focus 1.3 and Clean Rom with StraghtTalk

Well finally all my Samsung Focus's are off of AT&T contract and I am am moving them over to StraightTalk. The first one I moved three months ago to them still doesn't do MMS due to Samsung not exposing the settings and Samsung locking down the old way of breaking into the file system and dropping the XML.
I was thinking about flashing the Clean ROM 2.01a on one of the phones and then trying to get MMS working with that one under StraightTalk. Anyone have any recommendations for have made this work for the Samsung Focus?
Thanks...

I got it to work!
After a couple of house piecing together information from a few other posts here on XDA I the Focus 1.3 updated to Tango using clean ROM and was able to side load the StraghtTalk package and MMS works great. Only downside is that I had to erase the phone such is life. Now I only have to update two more phones.
Here is the steps that I took:
Get the files needed
Download clean ROM 2.01a from XDA Developers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528984
Get the Samsung drivers from XDA Developers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
Get the new bootloader from XDA Developers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22278269
Get the StaightTalk XAP from XDA Developers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35737150&postcount=263
Windows Phone 7.1 SDK for Windows Phone Deployment: https://dev.windowsphone.com/en-us/downloadsdk
Get the installs going
Install the Samsung drivers
Install the windows phone SDK
Install New Bootloader
Put phone into upload mode: POWER + VOLUME UP + CAMERA
Launch the bootloader install: DFT_MLI_SAM1.exe
Follow instructions
Wait till successful and reboot phone
Install New ROM
Reset the data in phone: 'Settings' -> 'about' -> 'reset your phone' -> 'yes' -> 'yes'
At screen off hold VOLUME DOWN + CAMERA
Use the "Cancel" option on the screen: "<-" Back arrow
You should see the new bootloader screen
Plug phone into computer
Run DFT_WPI_SAM1.exe from Clean ROM directory
Follow instructions
Will take a long time to boot with the white bar advancing
Initial setup of phone "Microsoft account" etc. Also connect once to Zune to name phone as before
Phone is now ready to use leave plugged into computer and Zune running
Set Phone Up for StraightTalk
Phone will probably be pin locked so best to run the WindowsBreak from the phone: http://windowsphonehacker.com/windowbreak
Click "WindowBreak Me"
Tap on "windowbreak" A browser window should open up. Ignore it.
Launch Diagnostics on the phone Dial *#9908#
Select "windowbreak" from the dropdown list
Press Save and reboot the device
Make sure phone is still connected to Zune
Launch application deployment from sdk
Deploy the straghttalk XAP (rename from zip to xap) before deploying
Go to diagnostics and dial *#9908#
Select StraightTalk from drop down
Press Save and reboot phone.
Test a MMS and you should be all set

Very detailed guide! I did this exact process an hour before you posted - Could have saved a few hours of research if I just waited LOL
One thing you said was:

I did not have this problem and it may have been because in the RegEdit I changed the phone to a Lumia 930 instead of a 735... This may help or it may not, just thought I'd throw it out there.:
PhoneManufacturer to Nokia
PhoneManufacturerModelName to RM-1045_1009
PhoneModelName to Lumia 930

Hi. It works with 735 as well. I think MS has fixed the issue in Redstone!.. Also after updating to latest version try a Hardreset. It'll bring back Phone configuration back to HTC M8 from what ever the custom models numbers you gave.

Hi... Thanks for noticing... Corrected!

stuck at preview for developers
NEVERMIND

no data
So I got this done and hit the road to evac for hurricane and have no data. On wifi now,lol. I updated until I couldn't anymore and show the build 14393.221. Did I stop too soon?

So this process requires me to get the 10.0.10586.338 preview build?(Step 37) If so then I'm out of luck. Seems my HTC One M8 will not acquire that update.
Whenever I try to access the Preview for Developers app I get this:
Developer Account
To download the preview. you must be registered as a windows phone developer.
Is this correct? Am I being a dunce? If not could it be because I have a paid developer account?
I appreciate the help.

I was excited to try this but see it is failing. I did have my phone on WM10 but they stopped providing insider builds. I reverted back to 8.1 and disliked it.
Unfortunately, I'm stopped at developer phone registration. The registration tool can't get to http://api.marketplace.windowsmobile.com/ from my workstation, so I get an error, https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/F...stration-failing-errorcode-0x64?forum=wptools
Will try tomorrow.

i got redstone working. by only sending collected cabs.
no device spoofing involved. need to reproduce it again to write a tutorial.
only works for tmous-version.
for other versions (verizon/at&t), other lang packs might be needed.

I was going to post a quick update to this, but I ended up completely redoing your instruction set. I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but I'm going to post a new topic in this forum with the revised instructions. Yours were ok, but needed some substantial clarification in a number of places. I hope this doesn't offend or upset anyone.

[UPDATED GUIDE] [BOOTLOADER UNLOCK] Huawei p8 lite 2017 (pra-lx1)

This guide is the only one made and tested personally by me, I am not responsible for malfunctions or any damage to the device, carefully read every single step and everything will be successful

}
[ATTENTION]: Before proceeding, save all your data on your computer and REMOVE ANY KIND OF UNLOCKING (sequence, pin, fingerprint etc ..); remove the sim and the microSD; get a microSD, at least 3/4 giga, where you can upload the files necessary for the procedure.
[NECESSARY CONDITIONS]: Starting from emui 8; have the cell phone charged to 100%; bootloader unlocked and the only procedure I know and working is the one I propose in the guide, the code is obtained by paying 4 €/$, THERE ARE NO FREE ALTERNATIVES.
[PREREQUISITES]: Download -> HiSuite , Dc-Unlocker
At this point we create a folder on the desktop and we will call it ANDROID1O to have a reference point and we will extract the folder contained in the dc-unlocker archive. Once the folder has been extracted, install adb and fastboot in order. At this point we can also install HiSuite.
[PROCEDURE]
[DOWNGRADE] In
order for dc-unlocker to read the bootloader code it is necessary to go back to an older version of android, so let's proceed as follows:
(1) We connect the mobile phone to the computer and start HiSuite, in some cases it will start automatically, and we follow the procedure that will be shown to us to enable debugging. If you have followed everything correctly HiSuite will read your device without problems.
(2) Remaining on HiSuite, click on the UPDATE SYSTEM item, a window will appear, at this point we can press on PREVIOUS VERSION (now I don't remember the precise wording) and we can start the downgrade. It will take a while.
(3) At the end of the downgrade we can start the mobile phone by skipping and ignoring the various configurations by putting the language in Italian as a matter of practicality, let's move on to the next step
[GET BOOTLOADER CODE]
(1) We go to the system settings ---> information ----> we do many taps until the message "now you are a developer" appears ----> we go back ----> developer options and activate usb debugging.
(2) Let's go to HiSuite and in the settings located at the top right we remove the check mark under "Start when it connects to the device" and close it.
(3) We buy the credits to read the bootloader code from https://www.dc-unlocker.com/buy in this way:
- We select the payment method
- We leave "new user account"
- We enter a username that we like it
- We enter an e-mail address to which we can easily access, here we will be sent the credentials to be able to access dc-ulocker
- We enter 4 in the credits box and then type on confirm
- If everything went well, the screen will appear with the credentials and you will receive a copy on the email
(We now have the necessary credits to be able to read the unlock code)
(4) Let's go back to the folder created on the desktop and start dc-unlocker and clicking on the SERVER item we enter the credentials obtained on the site
(5) At this point in the drop-down at the top left we look for the item HUAWEI PHONES
(6) A guide will appear that in any case I will report here:
- In the call keypad type the following combination * # * # 2846579 # * # *
- Press on MANUFACTURE MODE
(7) We can connect the mobile phone and press on the magnifying glass we see on dc-unlocker and if we have done everything correctly the program it will detect our mobile phone
(8) When the phone has been recognized we go to the UNLOCKING section and press on READ BOOTLOADER CODE, if we have done everything correctly we will get a code that we will enter somewhere so as not to lose it, we will need it later
(I leave you the video dc-unlocker official guide on how to unlock bootloader if you have any doubts ---> Help
(9) We disconnect the mobile phone from the computer
(10) After writing down the bootloader code we can close dc-unlocker, connect the mobile phone to a wifi network and search for system updates to return to the latest version of android and therefore to emui8,
if no updates appear, we try to force them by going to settings, wifi, press and hold on the wifi to which we are connected, modify, check advanced options, press on proxy, manual,
in proxy hostname we write localhost and in the port we write 8080 , we press on connect and if we return to the updates item it should find the most recent version. At this point we can update the mobile phone to the most recent version.
[BOOTLOADER UNLOCK]
(1) After returning to the most recent version of android we turn on the mobile phone
(2) We go to the system settings ---> information ----> do many taps until the message "you are now a developer "----> go back ----> developer options and activate the usb debug and the active voice unlock manufacturer
(3) We connect the mobile phone to the computer, press on transfer files, go back to the developer settings and activate the debug , at this point the mobile will ask us to give permissions to our computer and we confirm
(4) Let's go back to the desktop and at the top right click on file, open windows powershell, open windows poweshell as administrator and click on yes
(5) We type the command "adb devices" (write it without quotes), we wait for the end of the 'execution of the command and type again the command "adb devices" (without quotes)
and so we will see a number that corresponds to our mobile phone
(6) We give the command "adb reboot bootloader" (without quotes) and we send
(7) The mobile phone will start in a white screen with an android, the important thing is that two written in red appear with the words PHONE Unlocked and FRP Unlock
(8) From the Widows poweshell screen opened previously we give the command "fastboot oem unlock CODICEBOOTLOADER" (without quotation marks) (CODICEBOOTLOADER refers to the code obtained with Dc-Unlocker) and press on
enter (9) On the cellualre a warning will appear, press once the volume up key and then the power key to confirm the unlocking of the bootloader
(10) When the procedure is finished, it will take very little time, we give the command "fastboot reboot" (without quotes) and when the mobile phone screen it will go black we unplug it
(11) The cellualre will restart a couple of times with a white and other yellow writing, let it go, it will be returned to the factory settings and we will just have to skip all the configuration procedures but set the language in Italian
Finally the bootloader is unlocked!

Yes, absolutelly. Why you prevent me to mod my phone if the phone is mine?

Here is a free alternative to DC-UNLOCKER
I've unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP on my wife's phone (emui 8 up to date dec 2020)
Here is the program : Potato NV
Follow these instructions : PotatoNV - wiki
To find where the testpoint is located search for pralx1 STF testpoint on your favourite internet search engine.
PS : By the way, the understanding of how it works goes way beyond my technical skills...

It's almost impossible to find it randomly. There are too many combinations...

I tried but It didn't work. Unfortunately I had an aplhanumeric code despite that my device was european, and this made impossible the task to find the code ( it would take millions of years to do a minimum percentage of combinations ).
I found it using PotatoNV, it adds the difficult part to disassemble the phone but it is very efficient.

It is not supposed to happen this way. You have to see something like "fastboot error: wrong password", so you're probably missing some permissions.
Anyway unless you have a numeric code there is virtually zero chance to find it in that way.
In my case I ran the script and in ~4 hours it tried all the numeric codes supposed to fit with my imei, but with no success. Later I discovered that my code was alphanumeric.

Hi everyone, I've just obtained te bootloader code, but now I'm stuck on EMUI 5.0.3, there are no updates available.
I tried forcing it but nothing changes..

On my P8 Lite 2017, I've tried the PotatoNV method which is, in fact, very easy (the most difficult part was to open the back cover, but with an opening tool it's easier) and no need to downgrade. For me the SkyEmie method was just a waste of time.

Hello, i'm stuck at this step, i'm back at EMUI 5.0.3 and when i check for update it tells me "no updates"

Worked for me (PRA-LX1) !!
So easy, except from potatoNV (didn't try back panel is broken, as a result I cannot open my phone) all other free solutions have not worked for me.
