Guest C:S Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hi, I've tried to root my Desire using Unrevoked³, but it always fails after rebooting the device, saying "Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try again." (I made sure that HTC Sync has been removed) The Desire has Hboot 0.93.0001 and "Software-Information" says: Kernel-Version "2.6.32.15-gf5a401c htc-kernel@and18-2 #1", Software-Number "2.29.405.5" (might be important...) Yesterday I have read in Android 2.2.1 Google fixed an issue regarding the USB-Debugging-Modus, but I couldn't find any hints on this in Unrevoked's wiki. I'd really appreciate your help, because the more I read through tutorials like this or this the more I get confused about which way is the right one - I hoped Unrevoked³ could bail me out. Any ideas? C:S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest EddyOS Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I just rooted my phone on that version using unrEVOked 3.31 (now 3.32) and had no issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are many tutorials in this forum, but as I said, I'm not sure which one fits -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EddyOS Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Unfortunately not, all the other ones were early methods for early HBOOTs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for these links, but I definitely don't want my phone's data to be deleted, so unfortunatly that's no option for me :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gambieter Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 (I made sure that HTC Sync has been removed) Is this a branded Desire, or a SIM-lock free Desire? I recently used Unrevoked with the same versions and had no problem. When you removed HTC Sync, did you leave the drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest C:S Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I just fired up my Notebook (Ubuntu 10.04) and tried the Unrevoked Linux-version, same error. In addition the console says ERROR: n = -1, errno = 19 (No such device) ERROR: n = -1, errno = 19 (No such device) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gambieter Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 try a different USB-cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C:S Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) Tried to root the new Desire of a friend and the whole procedure equals my case, including the error. Both Desires have the latest updates and same version numbers (Kernel, Build etc.). Edited January 11, 2011 by C:S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Asselberghs Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Are you using Windows? or Linux? or Mac? When I helped a friend we tried Unrevoked on Windows, it came up with errors and started to freak me out a bit. He had trusted me with his phone and the root to work and it seemed I failed him, at least in my eyes, as it diden´t go as smooth as my rooting experience went. Then we booted up on a Ubuntu live disc and ran Unrevoked for linux and it went through and rooted the phone. Also theres no need for hboot drivers when rooting on Linux IIRC. Try to root using Unrevoked under a linux distro´s live disc, I´d recommend Ubuntu. Kind Regards Asselberghs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest EddyOS Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I've no more input in this as unrEVOked rooted mine on that version in 3 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BashyUK Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Allready tried this, had no luck... I'm using Windows 7 64 bit Can only recommend trying another usb cable as another user suggested or a different OS as also suggested. Works fine for me too.

Guest BashyUK Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Nope, no success :D Eh?! Well you are certainly a member of an elite club! So you have basically run ubuntu directly off a cd and run Unrevoked with the phone in charge only mode with usb debugging enabled and it fails? Also in windows in charge only and usb debugging enabled and it still fails? And then again with a different cable? It's not possible! It must work!

Guest C:S Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 So you have basically run ubuntu directly off a cd Well, it was a "real" installation, but that shouldn't be the problem, i think... It's not possible! It must work! Yeah... I can't put my fingertips on it, but I got the impression, that my desire is somehow too slow for Unrevoked. After rebooting, Unrevoked tries to "run root" (or something), fails and not until then the USB-connection Icon in the top bar appears. I know that's some kind of naiv, but I got the feeling Unrevoked doesn't wait long enough. Apart from that, could it be a problem with the German-version of Android?

I think you need to get in touch with Unrevoked support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bas-r Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Did you edit the Android rules to get the Desire to be recognized under Ubuntu? http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EddyOS Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Random thought, try using unrEVOked 3.21 - someone on XDA on 2.29.405.5 having issues used it and it worked Worth a try, although I still don't see how you're having issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
