Hi
I have a serious problem to achieve my device Root.
I tried a number of how-to guides Root device without success.
I have Hboot 0.83.001 operating system version is 2.1 update 1.
Please if someone has a normal course guide, please send me. I really want to use my device already.

i debranded my desire from t-mobile to a generic using a guide posted on android forums however the author failed to advise that some desire have the slcd screen rather than amoled so my phone is working but i have a blank screen. without the ability to see the screen i cannot reflash is there any solution to this?
You will be on step 8 of this howto: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750852
If you plan to root, you should be able to proceed from there. If you just want the generic HTC Rom use steps 1-7 of the howto (should work blindfolded), but use the PB99IMG.zip from the android 2.2 update, which will support slcd.
its a bit hard to follow the instructions 1 to 7 without a screen i dont know if the phone has entered bootloader or not
I have been looking around a bit, ant to my surprise i did not even find a suitable pb99img.zip with android 2.2. Perhaps it does not exist (yet).
Then you plan b would be to root and flash a compatible rom like described in the linked thread.

I have a desire hd running cyanogenmod 7.0.3 but want to go back to a stock htc room. How do I go about doing this?
Question has been asked and answered too many times already.
Forum rules state you must search before posting.
Your answer depends on method used to get root and S-OFF.
Hint, look in development forum for "one click root, Eng S-OFF".
Read the threads, follow the guides, if you get stuck let us know at what step. But I assure you, the guides are accurate if you follow them.
I have got HTC DESIRE HD with the following Software statistics:
Android Version: 2.2
Software Number: 1.83.415.4
Now i want to root my HTC DESIRE HD to be able to install some custom ROMs of ANDROID 2.3 gingerbread... i have tried using all the different tools such as VISIONARY+ and many other methods that I have found over the internet but none of them works. Can anyone of you please guide me on how to correctly root HTC DESIRE HD, as i've heard that if your software version is greater than 1.72 than its not possible to root it and first you need to downgrade your software version. So help is required from anyone who could help me to downgrade and root my HTC DESIRE HD.
Try searching, you will get your answer a lot quicker. Your specific question gets asked around 2-3 times daily.
Dear, i have been doing that since long but unable to find any suitable option uptil now and that is the reason i finally posted it here.. So if you have any such link which could be of help than that would be nice of you. Thanks...

---->[GUIDE] How to downgrade 1.7x/1.8x/2.x to 1.32.405.6
Hey thanks alot for the help... Actually i tried doing the same procedure again and this time it worked.. i was unable to downgrade as there was some issue with my SD card. Formatted it in normal mode (no QUICK FORMAT) and after that followed the same steps and this time it worked perfectly fine without any issue and finally i have got mh DHD rooted and also S-OFF... Looking for a CUSTOM GINGERBREAD ROM for it.. Do you have any suggestions which one to go for...
Thanks once again for the help...

Hiya matey,
Its gotta be LeeDrOiD's GB all the way mate. Make sure you have a nandroid backup of your old ROM and be sure to backup before any significant changes to your DHD.
Happy Hunting
Hi all,
It's been a while for me and HTC products.
I want to root my friends Desire Z.
What do I need to know before rooting.
I remember with Desire HD, I had to downgrade in order to root.
Visionary, ENG HBOOT, etc. etc.
Current ROM loaded: 2.42.405.2
Please fill me in.
Hey,
you can find all relevant information and a step-by-step guide here.
As with the DHD you will also need to downgrade the DZ in order to get permanent root.
Warning (Just because I read "visionary"): At least as far as the g2/dz goes, it is advised to avoid it. Since there is a very high risk of bricking your phone.
Hello everyone I'am in kinda need of help
You see I tried to simunlock my desire 520 which leads me to various sections and posts in this sub.
Through reading I found out that first I need to S-OFF my phone to be able to do that (and root)
the thing is all what I found on the sub are the following:
1. To S-Off my phone it has to be rooted or
2. To root my phone it has to be S-Offed
which is neither of the two I have and is confusing me on how to get it done.
Also I read somewhere that HTC Desire has HBoot but mine don't have.
On the boot loader (white screen thingy) there's nothing there that states the HBoot version although I found some here which guides me on how to install HBoot but the thing is. It is for Froyo or will make my Android version to Froyo (Im on 5.1 that's why im unsure if it is okay or not).
Well all what I really need is to Sim Unlock my phone if there is other way around or someone could guide me itwould really be a great help! Thanks and more power to you peeps!
