Hello all.
Need help . I know this error has been posted elsewhere but I dont think for the desire. I ran unrevoked for windows and it goes through all the sequence then stops with the
Error: failed to get root. Is your firmware too new. Have tried all the different scenarios in other post but no joy. Hboot-0.93.0001 Bravo PVT4 MIcrop -051d. Radio-5.11.05.27.
I hope someone can help am running out of space for non sd card apps.

Cheers Kev

That's too new. If you look in the all things root sticky, the guide titles would tell you this.

There's also a root memory faq which will serve you well
 
Hello all and many thanks for all your answers so far.

My question today is . Is my phone rooted. Have been reading the rooting guide and am now not sure if my phone is rooted or not. I had to use Revolutionary to what I thought was rooting my phone downto the fact that unrevoked failed. Does the revolutionary method actually root the phone?.


Cheers everyone

You should read more! This is all answered for you. revolutionary will just give you s-off, which means you can fastboot flash a custom recovery, from which you can install a custom rooted rom. Alternatively you can just flash a "superuser zip" from the revolutionary site that will give you root.

Revolutionary only S-off's your phone. Again, this is all available in SUroots guides.
