[Q] From Vodafone branded HTC Desire Z (Android 2.3.3, 2.42.161.2) to CM 7

Hey
Situation: stuck with Vodafone branded HTC Desire Z (Android 2.3.3, 2.42.161.2), tried a couple of tutorials (none worked)
Aim: a super-slick, witty HTC Desire Z with CyanogenMod 7 or Virtuous
Is root access necessary to install a stock HTC ROM or a mod?
Do I need S-Off for that?
Help is much appreciated ($$$)
jk, but I'd really be grateful!
and please don't be too mean because of my foolishness and noobishness
Hi i am also stuck inthe same situation. Did you find any solutions yet?
thx

[Q] Which RUU to choose?

Hi Guys
A friend of mine is developing Android apps. He needs a 2.3.3 Android device for max. compatibility to test his apps. So I thought I could give him my old DHD. The problem is that there is currently CM7 installed. But he needs a device with a stock 2.3.3 Android Rom (unrooted!).
So I found this list with lots of RUUs.
Can someone tell me which I have to download? I need a 2.3.3 Rom without Sim-Lock and I live in Switzerland.
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi f_enzo,
Thx for your answer.
The HTC Desire HD has received a new software update in December 2010, the Android 2.2.1 version 1.72.405.3 which brings various improvements and some bug fixes.[6] As of January 2011 the 2.2.1 v 1.72.405.3 software update was pulled due to issues with the HTC Sense overlay.[7]
During May 2011 in Western Europe, an over the air update updated unlocked, unbranded Desire HDs to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread and HTC Sense 2.1. On June 12 in Australia, an over the air update was available for unbranded Desire HDs taking them to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread with HTC Sense 2.1. On July 2011, HTC announced via Facebook that it was testing Gingerbread for branded Desire HDs and HTC released the update at the end of July. With the Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread Update, the Desire HD now has the ability to set Wi-Fi proxy settings which was not available previously with Android 2.2 Froyo and has Sense 2.1.
In September 2011 it was reported that HTC plan to update the Desire HD to Android version 2.3.5,[8] which would provide, for example, voice and video calling with Google Talk.
On December 16, 2011 in Europe, an over the air update updated unlocked, unbranded Desire HDs to Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread and HTC Sense 3.0.

If you read the article about the DHD on wikipedia then you will see that Sense 3.0 comes with 2.3.5 and I need 2.3.3. So I think that would be the wrong Rom.
Oh, sorry for my bad answer

Thank you very much. I also tried out some Roms and stuck to the one you suggested.
You can also change the language to german although it's written WWE (world wide english).
