EDIT: It doesn't work, let's move on.
Just saw this now, apparently it works for all HTC 2.1 devices using the 'fake ota' method.
I will rewrite the guide here once someone has confirmed it works.
I can not and will not test this as I wasn't stupid enough to flash the official 2.1 RUU.

Once you get to clockwork mod recovery you should be able to flash a custom rom!

Reports on the guide website suggest that this will NOT work for HTC Hero users or in fact any phone which did not originally ship with v2.1 of Android.
I'd love someone to prove this wrong so keep trying but don't get your hopes up.

And does anyone know, how fast we will get rooted GMS EU 2.1 after it is released? Fast thing to do?
Also first part of OTA (YouTube update), i hope it didn't take ability to root from me?

There is no known way, yet.
There are already rooted GSM custom rom's based upon the 2.1 releases which have happened so far. It takes dev's a few hours from release usually to get them into the public domain.

If you installed the latest ota just downgrade & root.
For rooting the europe 2.1 I aim to be as fast as last time but it depends on when it is released.

Well then IMO you have to add to your guide.
"First, you need to downgrade your ROM to 2.73.xxx.x"
Like: "Also downgrade 2.73.405.93, even if it starts with 2.73...".
Btw: If I would flash Part 2 OTA update, 2.1 andoird, would it be as easy as now, to downgrade?

You can't downgrade once you flash part 2 as the version will change from 2.73.xxx.xx
Yeah I do need to change that, I just couldn't remember it when I was writing it!

It was fun while it lasted, but I think we can safely skip KA1. I'll leave everything here for those that want to play, but I'm going back to Roto-JME and crank out a new release of that.
Here are the pre-packaged KA1 firmwares, pre-rooted.
I am recommending that you flash CF-Root-Tab-KA1 to get ClockWorkMod 3.0 if you do not have a protected bootloader.
Use Roto-KA1-Full.zip if you are coming from any firmware other than Roto-JME.
Use Roto-KA1-Upgrade.zip if your current firmware is Roto-JME.
Use P1_add_hidden.pit if you're not coming from Roto-JME.
I have made the following filesystem changes so far:
Deleted Gmail.apk, Maps.apk and install_flash_player.apk to free up space for rooting.
Added AppWidgetPicker-1.2.1.apk
For those of you with protected bootloaders, either package will work for you too.

Hi, Roto
I have flashed the original JM* series ROM so the bootloader already got protected. Is there any safe way to downgrade?
I went through the whole thread of downgrading JM6, but eventually was confused and didn't dare to try.
Any of your advise will be highly appreciated.
EDIT: I will give a try no matter how according to the guidance.

Arguments for upgrading?
Excuse me, but isn't KA1 an Asian ROM?
What are the arguments for upgrading from Roto-JME, if you're an European SGT user?
Thx!
Just flashed Roto-KA1-Upgrade and CF-Root-Tab-KA1 over JME(non-protected bootloader), everything seems excellent so far, very smooth moving through apps and menus, no problems with screen auto-dim, even the Readers Hub is updating properly(hasn't updated properly for me through the JMx roms).
Edit:
Market just updated properly.
Swype v2.4.44.10881 is full-screen for those who were wondering.

Asian and English. The Asians lost out on JME, so now its their turn. Would be nice to combine all the locales though.

Yes, you can root the phone, but since you have 1.84 FW, you need to downgrade.
Once you downgrade, you can then install CWM recovery and flash different ROMs

Thanks man i just wanted to know if it will work on my 2.42.... .
Hello,
I think it should works. This is using the Goldcard method. The goldcard is a general method which should not be dependent on the phone version !
With goldcard you can install other OFFICIAL stock roms.
In the field of Android custom ROMs, what a Gold Card does is letting you install ROMs on your Android device that aren’t intended for your carrier. For example, if you have a T-Mobile USA HTC Desire, you can install an official ROM intended for the O2 UK HTC Desire, or even a generic ROM that isn’t locked to a carrier. It does so by disabling the CID (Carrier ID) check that the device does when installing a ROM.

Using the goldcard doesn't need any root permissions. It is a htc way to use other official stock roms. First you try to downgrade to official stock rom 1.32.405.6 then try to root this version.

but what do u think about going to the latest 2.50 ?
no way...am not going to update......the we have to wait again for downgrading 2.50.............

thanks all for reply ..
The waiting answer is not enough for me and the others , unless some one tell us if they works on it to figure out how to solve the root issue

as far as I know there isn't a new way to root the phone. This one just looks like it takes all the methods so far and puts them in an easy to use tool.
I believe the Android version of 2.3.5 on the Telus P935 has some parts removed before it is made, to prevent rooting.
I am still hoping to have a rootable Telus KDZ file in the future, so I can go back to stock (just incase). But I'll have to wait untill the next Telus update to find out.
Unless someone with a Telus P935 can chime in and says it works. Then they can use that phone to pull the KDZ files or something like that (don't know how that works, still learning).
I'm just glad it is possible with this phone - even if it is kinda a bit fragmented to get it done.

Here is a new GB Base ROM.

Odexed
Download Odexed
Deodexed

Known Issues: Wifi will not be able to be enabled (wifi driver failed to load) [kernel issue] - will be fixed soon. Wifi will work again if you use a custom kernel. <- needs to be checked again. feedback would be nice.

i thought .5 version was the latest.
.4 rooted exists in virtuous sense thread for like 4-5 months.
.4 is the latest after returning to stock and updating over ota.
there is nothing newer after a check for ota on my desire z.
cid is set back to HTC__102 and my dz have s-on again.
I did this dump with fre3vo temproot and "busybox dd".

405.5 has radio, hboot, stock recovery inside it. Don't know if they are updated versions.. Its better we wait before applying this OTA.

Yes. In case someone needs it, I've uploaded the radio which came with the latest OTA in this thread. The radio version that came with the 2.42.405.5 update is 26.10.51.26. This radio might be particularly interesting for European users, as the 26.13.04.19 radio was only released for North America.
anyone cares to make an updated stock rom with the zip provided by strawmetal?
at this point i dont even care if i have root so im okay with an unrooted one.
