... select the option to apply an update zip from sdcard, and select 'rootedupdate.zip'. This will take a little while, so go make a nice cup of tea...

How long is "a little while"

Mine has been sitting at "verifying update package" for 10 mins, and the progress bar behind the text does not seem to have moved at all.

How long should I leave it?

i have a german t-mobile branded with 0.75

I get the same, but I get to the end, and then a red triangle at the recovery screen.

Win XP computer, 0.75

I tried with the tinycore cd as well, with the same result... :D

(edited for spelling)

Never mind - it worked after the 3rd or 4th attempt. Not sure what that was about.

I'm sorry but are you retarded??

What do you think "error:device not found" means???????

Try making sure you htc is plugged in all the drivers are installed, htcsync installed, check you are not using any other extension usb leads, only use the back USB hub on Pc's, dont use any USB extension hubs at all,

Finally check you actually have a connection via adb, by setting up the adb on your pc, guides are everyware for this. then check devices with "adb devices"

Oh and you may want to actually read the thread as this has been answered over and over again.

USE SEARCH FFS!!!!

I mean i learnt all of this in a week when paul released it, but unlike many i actually read up a bit about it first instead of jumping in feet first without know what the hell im doing.

Your trying to fly a plane without wings, AIN'T GONNA WORK!

Do what most normal ppl do, RESEARCH its not hard, its all here...... You just need to pull your finger out and not rely on Paul to sort you out, the mans busy enough without spoon feeding people who just cant help themselves

my error is gone. i had just tried another computer (my netbook, also running win7 32bit). all working fine now and rooted :P

maybe some usb ports/chips are not good for flashing?

Hi there,

i got a problem with rooting one of the Desires:

My Desire is a Non branded HTC One, i completed the root Process without any problems.

Today i wanted to root the desire of a friend of mine, it's a software branded t-mobile one. I created the gold card and succesfully finished step 1 - in windows and in Linux.

But at step 2 i always got the message "Device not found"

The Bootloader Infos are the same as on mine:

BRAVO UNKNOWN SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.75.0000

MICROP-031d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO-4.05.00.11

MAR 5 2010,21:12:15

If anyone had an idea .... THANKS

@CSCHMITZ and others who are willing to help.

Hello, thank you for the effort to answer my question. It seems you are the only one who are willing to help or willing to think about it. I am from the Netherlands and there are some things in your answer that I do not quite understand. Your talking about using a generic "unroot". How do I do that and where can I find a generic "unroot"?

Also you are talking about Market Locale is not the problem but my bought content association. Whta do you mean by this? what is Locale and especially what is my bought content association.

And the last advice of you is to do a clean new install+root. Can you tell mewhere to find a clean install. I already installed and rooted twice now. Both with first installing the testruu from Paul through windows and after that I installed app2sd, the one with the clean davik cache or something. Did I use the correct Rom (testruu.exe) or do I need to use a different one?

Please help me again. I am stuck at this point.

I had this market issue for a few minutes aswell, it self corrected itself when syncing. Right now, try to add a new google account to your phone, then delete the old one from it, then readd it, see if that fixes the market.

If that doesnt work, go back to the very first ROM(http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/307683/howto-unroot-your-htc-desire/) and wipe the device properly. I would also very much recommend using linux to root etc, most issues seem to be related to windows drivers not found and people badword with a2sd without knowing it, so just eliminate these two.

When you have a fresh new device setup, skip all account setups for good measure, add a different google account first, then see if the market is shown, then add your old one.

Further more as i see it, the rootprocess isn't completly accomplished as we don't have access to /system (as paul wrote in his tutorial) on a normally booted desire.

Thats the reason why some programs that require root don't work (e.g. adblock).

In my eyes this makes the desire less interesting in matters of functionality compared to the nexus one, because we may never get write access to /system which causes a handicapped, still pretty awesome phone.
