Hi, I'm have trouble rooting my htc desire. From what I've read I need unrevoked, which should install clockwork mod. I have tried this but no luck. In the end i basically want cyanogen mod 7 installed.

It has HBOOT 0.93.0001 which i think doesn't help

Any ideas?

When I load unrvoced it says "waiting for device to connect"

I don't think the ADB driver is installed properly. When the phone is plugged in it trys to find new driver. In the device manager, the properties of the ADB is "This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1)" theres an exclamation mark on the icon in the device list too. I'm running xp by the way

It is a driver issue, this is what I did to root:

1. Install HTC Sync

2. Uninstall HTC Sync but leave the HTC Drivers package in Add/Remove Programs

3. Boot the phone into HBOOT and then connect to the PC to make sure the driver is installed correctly

4. Disconnect the phone and start unrEVOked

5. Make sure the phone is set to 'USB Debugging'

6. Connect phone to PC

It should connect and work, might be worth tracking down unrEVOked 3.21 if you're still having issues as this helps for some people

The latest from unrEVOked site

Hi,

What's your device show up as in Device Manager? You might want to load the fastboot drivers from the unrevoked site even though they are 'older' than the htc sync ones.
