HELP! Can't Root my HTC Desire A8183 Telstra Next G

[Guest Rolphez]

Hi,

I've had a HTC Desire before A8181 and have had no problems at all rooting it and running other ROMs on it, anyway I was able to sell it for a good price and was able to buy a brand new one for a very cheap price but it was a Telstra Next G A8183 HTC Desire.

Despite me trying everything under the sun to root it, i have been very unsuccessful. Is there anyone here who could help?!

When I get the phone into FASTBOOT mode I get the following data (hope that helps):

BRAVO UNKNOWN SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.75.0000

MICROP-031d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO-4.05.00.11

I'm getting various errors and have tried rooting on windows and Tiny Core Linux, tried the guides on the following sites:

http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/

http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desi...o-1-21-support/

I always tend to get Step 1 to complete although I do get a FAILED message but and at step 2 I get "error: device not found"

I thought it could be that windows can not find the drivers so I decided to do it on Linux but that didn't work either.

If anyone can help that will be much appreciated.

Kindly,

Rolphez ;)

For a branded Desire, you need to create a goldcard.
