Hey
im trying to install another ROM on my device for the first time.
If I understand the tutorial something is to do before:
- downgrade
- goldcard
- root
- new ROM
- yay!
but its hard to downgrade my desire!
who can help me ?
I've tried to update/install PB99IMG.ZIP, but it says "wrong CID". What happens ?!
You need a goldcard, but that method wouldn't work for you anyway.
See here:

Why do you post if your howto wouldnt work for me ?
Now I have a goldcard!
The method I posted will work.

I just got a htc Desire and want to root it...
my phone is rom version 1.25.841.5 though and all of the rooting instructions appear to be for 1.21.xxx.x or 1.15.xxx.x
and the hboot versionis 0.83.0001 - all documentation is for 0.92 or 0.80
Has anyone had the same versions as me, and rooted their phone successfully?
.. if so could you please provide some instructions?
Thanks in advance
Kris
Sounds like a Telstra rom then read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709146 It works as I've used this method on mine with the very same rom. You can also look at http://www.t-mod.org/ if you are going to use it on the Telstra network.
hrm... i already did that ... followed step by step ... it put the "Superuser" app in the menu but when i load into the recovery i don't have the "Flash ZIP from SDCard" option - i read about this ppl say that it prob didn't root properly?
any ideas?
Thanks

Hi everybody!
Has anybody had success 'rooting' after the ota to 2.36?
My DHD was 1.72 before, and didn't root it then, and now, gingerbreak says something is wrong, reboot manually and check..... and when I check... no luck, no root.
USB debugging is on, SD card is in, etc.....

Hi,
Have a look at the downgrade thread, when I did it - ran gingerbreak to get temp root, then followed the steps to downgrade from there, then flash a custom rom with permanent root.
certainly going to lose because you are ROOT with OTA install the official version. how do you follow a man in front said to downgrade and install custom ROM and IMT will then root and gingerbread phone

Thanks for the info, nednapalm. I had already seen the thread, but.... it looks to me like it's strange to have to go back to 1.3x before installing something, when (if I understand it right) some people have made a 'direct' root with their 'ruu-ed' DHDs (i've seen no report of OTA success, so that's why I ask).
And, in any case, with the method you mention, could ANY PD98IMG.zip be used? (p.e. seraphic has posted seraphic_gb_rooted_0-1.zip which is basically the RUU rooted).

Unrevoked 3 program gets stuck at "Waiting for root...”
I have been trying to root my device for last 3 days .I have done enough research and gone through various forms .
Following the guide ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035 ) successfully got my device S-OFF using Revolutionary .
In step 2 : according to guide downloaded and tried
“RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3 .35.15.31_release_130814_signed_2”
Got stucked with non-working touchscreen.
Again downloaded and tried “RUU_Buzz_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.24.707.1_Radio_13.5 5.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_161113_signed”
Now touchscreen is working but it is showing android 2.2.1 again .So what's the point of downgrading ?
Run Unrevoked and it is unable to gaining root.
It shows :
Running preboot seq….
Waiting for reboot…..
Running root…
Waiting for root…..( I have waited for 20 mints but it keeps saying this)
[ USB debugging is enabled
Usb drivers are installed
Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone. ]
After all this mind boggling i have reached here :
Android 2.2.1
Revolutionary
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.01.1002
MI CROP-0622
RADIO 3.35.20.10
Should I use different version of unrevoked ? 3.31 ? here..( http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/20/how...evoked-method/ )
But again in guide “androidybloidy” says in step 3 :”Download the test version of unrevoked (here). Let me repeat, DO NOT USE UNREVOKED 3.32 as it will lead to CID errors or to be precise this error
"Validation error, backup CID is missing".”
What to do now ? Do I need to downgrade to 2.1 éclair to use revoked ? Do I need to download Éclair RUU for India ? If “yes” where can I get the download link ? Some forums say I don’t need to if I have already got S-OFF.I am totally lost.
Now I feel like tearing my hair out.
Any ideas ? How can get around it?
Any help would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.
I wanted to try the method suggested by “3xeno” on #83
http://joel5121.blogspot.com/2011/06...-tutorial.html
but under “clockwork recovery” the link to “fastboot tool “ redirects to http://htcdev.com/ and there is no tool like “fastboot tool” on that page.Again the download link to “recovery for wildfire”in step 4 is broken.
What should I do ?
Should I follow this ? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1130044
Is there a way out ?
feel like throwing my HTC out the window:confused:
SOLVED
Finally installed ClockworkMod recovery and Rooted the device.
are you trying to put a custom rom on the phone or just root it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12188132&postcount=15 follow this guide to put a custom recovery on it, follow method 2.
now, if your going to flash a custom rom just do this from your new recovery and your new rom will have been pre rooted. (well, it should be ) if not then im pretty sure that there is a flashable superuser zip that will give you root once you`ve s-offed but i cant remember where i saw it but i think tht would be youe best bet without having to downgrade again.
how did you make it work cause im having the same problem
yeah if you said its working how did you make it work :was it using the non-test version or did u try something else
If you want to de-brand (downgrade Hboot from 1.01.0002 to 1.01.0001), root or flash I have a comprehensive guide to do that
It's in my sig
Hey dude,
How did u finally resolve that?
I'm stuck at "waiting for root" .
HTC wildfire.

I´ve used the unrevoked 3.32 and it worked perfectly.... Maybe you should give a try.

Hi all,
i am new to this forums and i have read all the guide to root and install custom rom in DHD and after reading all the guides i would like to flash a custom rom on my DHD, but i am a bit confused need few clarification.
below are my phone specs.'
Android Version - 2.3.5
HTC sense version - 3.0
software number - 3.13.720.2
Kernel version - 2.6.35.10-g931a37e
baseband version - 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M

below are my concerns.
1. do i need to unlock my bootloader using HTCDEV.com method?
2. do i need to downgrade my firmware since its 3.13 because i didnt find any method to get root/s-off option for 3.13 firmware.
please help
I am failry new to rooting and flashing (currently on Leedroid) - I just followed the instructions in the Advanced Hack Tool and it was done within 10 mins. It is all automatic as long as you read the instructions and set everything up porperly.
I've you use this site and follow the steps it will downgrade and root your phone, it is the easyst why.
www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-root-the-htc-desire-hd/
thanks for the reply but if u see my software version is 3.13.720.2 because of this i am confused. what i need to know is that do i need to downgrade my phone to lower version and then root it? and also a method to downgrade my phone from 3.13 to other lower version.
thanx
Ive you follow the steps the program will automaticly downgrad men
reply
Yeah as the other users said dude,downgrade..use the ace hack kit etc,it doesnt take long and follow it to the letter,wipe your sd card totally not quick format..
serious..to the letter.takes an average of 10-15 minutes, if you dont understand a majority of it,just ask questions along the way,it truly is the easiest way,i cant comment on the htcdev unlock bootloader method,hopefully someone who has used that can help you with it,but id say go down the ace hack way
fairly sure the htcdev way has someone limitations to it..think if you want it perm rooted you have to still do it yourself,as i said though not done it.
(possibility im wrong but if anyone cares to correct me,happy days)
i tried AAHK and my phone downgraded successfully but after i run AAHK again it flashed the radio but when i goes to another step my phone powering on with black screen dont knw wht to do?
Hello.
I am trying to install a custom rom on a DHD that has been updated with the latest HTC OTA update.
As I understand,first step should be to downgrade using this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424023
I followed it, and managed to get through every step (Root, and I get the message "your card is now gold".)
And then what ? I am told to reboot on bootloader. The phone takes a very long time reading the img. And the nothing happens.
What should I do now ? My hboot is still 2.00.xxxx,so I guess nothing happened.
I still have my goldcard,how am I supposed to use it before using visionary ?
Edit : and now that AAHK is gone, it would be really great to update this guide for us noobs that will be trying other methods.
