Hi xOMG. I am not sure about Unrevoken, but as far as I know, the Desire HD actually can be rooted using VISIONary+ app.
The app has been removed in the Market. But you can go to this site and download the apk file for installation. http://android.modaco.com/content/software/320350/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/
You may consider downloading any file explorer from the market so that you can install the apk file. Read the steps carefully before you use VISIONary+. Do it at your own risks. Lol.
EDIT: Oh by the way, your English is not bad and its perfectly understandable. Really.
Cheers. =)

I tried V+ but it "Crashes" after the black screen, had to wait more then a minute, is that okay? Should i try it again?

I am at version number 1.8....
I need to downgrade to root. I was always of the understanding that my device was already rooted I have s-off and i just checked in bootloader.
I just want to know what is the best way to back up my data before hand?
So once i am rooted i can put it straight back on?

Yes. You have to have build number below 1.72xxxxxx in order you to use VISIONary+ to root your device. Else the rooting process will not work. I have my build number 1.32xxxxxx when I first bought my Desire HD. So it means I do not need to do any downgrading.
Pauly_k, in the first place, what are you planning to back-up? The stock ROM? If you are planning to switch to other ROMs, the app ROM Manager from the market, can be used as a tool to switch ROMs and also back-up ROMs. If apps and everything I would recommend Titanum Back-Up app.
When you do a Radio S-OFF and/or ENG S-OFF exercise, you do not need to on and off it back everytime. You can just leave it OFF all the time. It will not affect your device in everything e.g. performance. OFFing it allow you to gain full access into other area in your device such as to flash new radios.
Unless you wish you send back your device to HTC for say, warranty purpose, then yes of course you have to ON it back. Lol.
Cheers.

how to install non market apps?

please advise,
Need to know how to install non market apps on htc desire hd!
cause i can't do it. i went to settings - application and its not there and no where else!!
Thank you,
fyi,
did search fourm on htc desire and i couldn't find it.
im mainly evo 4g user and currenlty using evo 3d
just helping a friend with new desire HD

put the .apk files on sd card and on phone with ASTRO or some other file manager, find the files and tap on them to install

I'm pretty sure he's looking for the setting to allow this, not how to do it.
On my desire it's in the settings menu under applications and then it's on the top called unknown sources. It should also link you to the right menu if you try to install one and get denied.
Also you might consider asking in the desire hd forum, as you mention it's a desire hd, as this is desire forum.

i did notice that my fault,
thank you both

Stock Rom..

Hi guys quick q for the devs...just got my desire back from being repaired and I'm actually happy with the speed and stability of the stock Rom yet still suffering from the low memory...was wondering if I root it again is there a script I can run to get aps2sd and still keep my stock Rom as I only want the extra space ?

You could try to get DarkTremor working. That's the only script I know of tbh. You could do a quick search.

Simply run the revoluntionary program and get S-OFF & Root. (without flashing a new ROM)
You'll keep the stock rom, but with the added perk of having A2SD, being able to do nandroid backups, underclock/overclock, etc etc.
I did this for my old HTC Desire, and also my new HTC EVO 3D, works like a treat.

Baadnwz already made a version of the stock 2.3 that allows you to use your SD as supplemental memory. Check it out !

[Q] HTC Wildfire - rooting/custom ROM questions

Hi all, can somebody give me some advice to help out a friend.
My housemate has an HTC Wildfire and told me it keeps saying out of storage space errors. So I had a look at it, just assuming I needed to delete some apps, remove old cache data and maybe move some apps to the SD card. On checking, he has 7MB space free, so I thought he must have loads of apps installed, but there's only about 7?! The internal storage was so low and yet the SD card storage was hardly used at all, and there was also no option to move apps to the SD card. Didn't know these phones had so little storage space (I almost got one of these before my x10 3 years ago!)
I'm guessing the best thing to do is root the phone and clear out junk apps etc using Titanium Backup. I've done rooting and using of custom ROMs before on my old Xperia X10, but never on any other phone so is there an easy way to do it on an HTC Wildfire? As I am aware the process will be different. Also what sort of custom ROMs were developed for the Wildfire? Just upto Gingerbread or ICS and beyond, and if the latter, do they run better than GB?
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

Just to be clear Your friend has HTC Wildfire S and not HTC WILDFIRE...If he has Wildfire S then follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878031
Some Wildfire S models manufactured in 2012 gave some problems regarding recovery..If above mentioned guide fails and you can't get to recovery then follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997465...
If the Wildfire S is manufactured in 2012 and you had to follow the second guide then you can't install ROMs based on CYANOGENMOD... You can only install ROMs based on stock ROM...

Thanks ever so much for the reply - I will have a look through those links. I did wonder whether he had the Wildfire or Wildfire S (before yesterday I had no idea there were two models) but then I guessed it would be the S as he is on 2.3.5 and yet the standard Wildfire shipped with 2.1 or 2.2 I believe.
Is there a 'safe list' of bloatware apps etc that can be removed from the Wildfire S with Titanium once it has been rooted?
Many thanks

I don't know about safe list.. but there are some ROMs with removed bloatware like Kimsmod supreme,Wildchild etc.. and also 3.5 ROMs..
P.S. Wildfire has a trackball under screen.. and Wildfire S doesn't have trackball..

Back again. Thanks for the replies
Finally got a working USB cable for my housemate's phone. He still wants to root, and being that I have done this on my old Xperia X10, he wants me to look into it - however, on reading that tutorial you (very kindly!) provided the link for above, it seems very complicated. Is there not an easier, simpler solution, or is this the best/fastest way?
Also I keep reading about Int2Ext in these forums - is this something that allows the SD card to be partitioned and used for apps? If so, does this come built in with custom ROMs or is it something you must do manually??
Many thanks

What is happening?
Is everyone seriously replying
the man is asking a question about HTC WILDFIRE NOT WILDFIRE S
hey dude plz delete this thread and open a new thread in your forum "HTC WILDFIRE"

What are you on about? It is the Wildfire-S....

There is HTC SuperTool v3 that can root your phone.This method would be the easiest (after you have unlocked the bootloader) assuming it works but unfortunately, it didn't work for me.
INT2EXT allows you to use a partitioned section of your SD card for more storage of apps More info here. Most custom roms support the use of the INT2EXT script

HTC Backup app after root on HTC One M8

Hi,
I've currently got a HTC One M8 running Android 5.0.1 and Sense 6. I'm about to root it, I've backed up my apps, contacts etc. using the HTC backup app, I just wanted to know if after rooting my phone (I'm staying on Sense 6) I'll be able to use the recovery option to recover all my apps and data,
Thanks,
