I think you should add another option to the poll: "You're rooted and have had some form of 2.3 since December". I think that's going to boost responses.

"has anyone ever been so far" is an internet meme, look it up guys, he's not having a stroke!
Yes, I got the update last night. And it botched my phone. android.process.acore continually crashes, and as this contains contacts it renders the phone and messaging apps useless - I can receive calls and reply to texts if I'm lucky but I can't make a call or write a new text. I've contacted HTC support but I'm not holding out for any reply other than "hard reset" - which is not acceptable.

As long as its a stock rom it shouldn't matter, maybe try find the closest or exact rom it first came with.

Yeah, you're overthinking this one a bit. Just write a formal letter, letter explaining your a piece of *** and that you rooted your phone when you were a kid bc you didn't know any better but your daddy whooped your ass and taught you a lesson and you solemnly swear to never do it again. Just kidding. Write a letter explaining your phone was stolen and when you finally got it back you had found the phone was infected or something so they wont suspect you did anything and you'll be good to go.
My Z was rooted when I sent it back to repair the powerbutton. I got it back for free with the stock-ROM on it. I heard nothing about root and I did not have to pay a penny.
but htc has released the boot loader unlocking tool (root?) so doesn't that mean its okey for htc that we have custom roms running on these.

Yes and no. The thing is, with the unlock bootloader thing they made it so that if you get it they keep track of who you are (in order to properly void your warranty) so if you rooted in a different way to them it's just as "bad"

If you bought it recently, give it back to the seller, if he doesn't take it back, root it and install a custom ROM and it should work.

Search AAHK on google You'll find the thread, just follow the instructions to the LETTER! And read the Effen Manual 3 times before attempting root, just to be sure.

Before you start, read it about 5 times, seriously. The hack kit was designed to be somewhat confusing/to get you used to reading. Once you understand it, you'll see that it is quite simple. If you don't understand something, search for it, and if after that you still have problems, come back here and we will help you out.

waazza, if you are stuck in the white splash screen, there's a chance that the Hack Kit won't detect your phone...if that happens and u still can boot in hboot choose the fastboot method.

I think a lot of your information is outdated, for example Visionary is extremely outdated for most of the firmwares that's out now. The method outlined in the XDA Wiki as well as the Cyanogenmod Wiki is proven to work without fail (with the assumption that the end user actually follows the instructions to the letter).
The one click method tends to have problems and ends up in here for help, and far as hearing about it, normally hear complaints about their phone being bricked and how to fix it, they don't go into details exactly on "how" they bricked it, just that they whine and whine to unbrick it.
PS: I wish there was a way to remove an accidental thanks.
Well true there are some bad one click softs out there thats why i recommended what i have tried without problems........the fact that some are bad does not make dem all bad if only we bring up those that have bricked phones and those that helped cos not anybody has it easy with the XDA method by the way i recommend what i have tried so trust me what will i get by bricking someones phone (same module and and it worked)

But of course with lack of information (ie: what phone did you have, what firmware was it at, was it originally Froyo, etc?), people attempting to do the same tends to cause problems.
Though in my opinion, if you can't handle the method outlined in the XDA wiki (which will work with any version of the phone, including instructions for making a gold card), then it's probably not the best idea to even attempt having a rooted phone.
