As you may have noticed, the revolutionary.io's website is now down for a few months, letting owners of old HTC's devices unable to S-OFF their devices.

However, I've been able to patch the revolutionary tool to avoid the need of a beta key, required and delivered from the revolutionary.io website in the past, to use the tool.

This patched version has been tested on my own HTC Desire, but I don't guarantee that it works for every supported phone (but normally it should).

I will *NOT* put this patched tool online until I have the permission from a member from AlphaRev/unrEVOked team (I tried to contact them directly but with no success).

When I'll have an answer, I'll upload my patched version online, but not before. Don't ask for ETA nor private messages before I have an official permission to do this.

Thanks for your understanding and hope to have an answer quickly, for all the old HTC devices to be unlocked.

EDIT
Waiting for an answer on their IRC channel, I've found their new website, available here: rev.alpharev.nl.
As the project is still up and running, I won't upload my patched version online. However, if AlphaRev or unrEVOked allow me to put this version online, I will.

Quick guide
  1. Go on rev.alpharev.nl - If you have any problem to access the website, please try to use a proxy or Tor to route from Germany, France or Switzerland. Thanks to @Robcr for finding this !
  2. Click on one of the download links (Windows or Linux, depending on your Operating System)
  3. (The tool will be downloaded - decompress it somewhere on your computer)
  4. Complete the form that appeared on rev.alpharev.nl with all the information (Operating System, your device, HBOOT version and Serial Number)
  5. This will generate the right beta key for your phone using the provided information (JavaScript needs to be enabled
  6. Launch the tool and enter the beta key received from the website when needed
  7. Here you go, the magic should happen :)
I would like to ask you not to send me PMs to send you the patched version. If I release the patched version one day, it will be released here, and only here.

EDIT 2022-01-09

As stated in my latest post, I was finally able to release the patched version of the Revolutionary tool.

You can find the post here and you can download the tool here.

Thanks for your understanding,

Chances are, to be completely honest, the project isn't up and running, since it redirects to a deprecated revolutionary site. You should just publish it. We, users of the HTC Desire/HTC Incredible, have no other means of rooting.

Thanks,

I totally agree that the project is dead, however you can still have access to the tool and the beta key from rev.alpharev.nl.

When this website will be dead without any other solution, I'll post my patch.

However, I'll post as soon as possible all the other tools needed (HTC HBOOT USB drivers, etc) as well as a completed guide :)

Sorry but there is no link for revolutionary only a link to the down page.. Only download links for alpha rev 1.8. And if I click one of them it downloads alpha red that's all that happened. So where exactly I should click. Here is a picture what I see on that page.

Sorry tweak man I tried it on PC on phone many browsers but equal if I type rev I came always on the old alpha page. Also I cleared browser caches.

There is only that side. If you have a different one screenshots please.

Hmm I must admit I'm confused, I don't have any problem on my side. Anyone else has this problem?

Mhhh strange I really could not access this page.

The only thing I was able to do, was to search with Google and it found the page you are talking about. If I click open in cache I see it but Java not working on cached sides, so I could not create a key. If I click normal on the link it open the old alpharev page.

OK I have a key. A online browser helped. I opened the page with a simulated browser in my browser. Normally used in country's like China to open forbidden pages but it worked. I wrote down the key but now I destroyed the USB cabel because I pulled to hard now the plug is broken. New one ordered.

Although a guide would be super useful, I'm sure I can figure my way through the process using all the various tutorials already available from years ago.

However, the one thing I do not have and do not have access to and definitely need are the HTC HBOOT USB drivers you mention. If you could upload those soon and please do so soon, you'd help me out so so much. Thank you.

    Dear @zeeBomb, @Zseblampas, @evilcorp, @Darth Riker, @BigChaz01, @silegeek, @lewis102, @Unidave199, @satcom886, @HMTheBoy154, @breversa, @vasskos, @dankovac1999 and all the other people in this thread,

    I'm really sorry I didn't post the patch before, I completely forgot about this project and since I logged in for the first time in a long time, I only saw all your posts now.

    Since the website is effectively dead and I haven't received any response from the Revolutionay team, I'm publishing the tool I patched in the past, hoping it will still be useful to some of you.

    Again, I'm really sorry that I haven't answered your questions in all these years.

    If some of you try the tool, can they validate for the rest of the community if it works and what model the tool was successful with?

    Sorry again and take care,

    What are the odds? I just dug out my old Flyer to try and S-OFF it and you just uploaded this. Mega thanks. Worked a treat.

    Nope
    Saw the reference to 'click on download ....' mentioned here before (and i must have used it years ago), but like others have reported here, no matter what client I use or proxy, even through tor, I only get the downloads for splash screens, hboots (downloaded a few of those), the donate button still works, and the link to the revolionary.io that brings up a spam site.

    NO download for windows or linux anywhere

    If you get something else, are you sure yours isnt a cached page?


    but thanks for taking the time to respond.

    I finally got what happened. The website you are visiting is alpharev.nl. It is true that this website is a bit outdated (links redirect to revolutionary.io and you can only download the old and 'not used anymore' tool "AlphaRev 1.8" with its files (HBOOT and so). This website is only usefull for the HBOOTs.

    The website that is working is rev.alpharev.nl. The difference is the 'rev.' before the domain name. I have tried to access to this website from many proxies and so, always working without any limitations.

    Can you confirm that it is now working for you or even rev.alpharev.nl redirects you to alpharev.nl ?
