You can't root the new ota froyo. Htc updated the hboot

Like Kevin said.
Because HTC also updated the HBOOT the usual Unrevoked method won't work.
All you can do is wait for the day the developers find a new way in or around HTC's new security.

How likely do you think this is? Will the developers bother working on this? My brother was holding out on the root/custom ROM option hoping the 2.2 update would get rid of some of the lag... and is now disappointed that he can't root it because of the change.
hope they find a way. Really need OC. Little brother just got zte blade which is lot better and costs 100€ less than wildfire :/

I do not know, I am not a developer. However usually it takes a couple of weeks. Developers are proud people. If something made their hack not work anymore they will hack it back just to show how good programmers they really are

No, and I am pretty sure when there is, there will be 10 threads proclaiming it.
Just be patient.
Hi guys,
I was good happy with my DK custom rom 2.2, then foolishly I tried one of the stock rom for HTC WF India, and then applied the OTA update, now stuck with unrooted WF 2.2. I suppose, if I take my WF back to HTC support, would they be able bring my WF back to 2.1, and then I would again root my device, since now my warranty is retained after flashing with the stock rom.
Any guesses on that.

You can ask them, but, its extremely unlikely they will do that, and, I am pretty sure they wont.
Sorry mate, but it is entirely your fault you applied the OTA, even when there are so many threads proclaiming that you shouldnt apply it, if you want to keep root.
don't know but sure it will be interesting if you can post if they do.

Customer services were not born yesterday.
If they do decided to give you Éclair back then you can guarantee that it will be done with the new Hboot version on it and not with the old.
It's highly unlikely though.
They will know that the only reason you want the old O/S and Hboot back is so that you can hack it. Unless of course you can provide them with real solid evidence that for some reason your Wildfire really does need to run the old O/S and Hboot.
All you will get is you have to have the upgrade due to performance security etc etc.
And if they do decided to give you back the old Éclair O/S you can bet your left testicle it will have the new Hboot.

Hi,
may I ask you why you decided to go back to stock? Unhappy with modded roms or simply bored with them? Was it worth it? I am considering playing a little too, but I can't say that I'm not happy the way it is!
Thanks & ciao
Luca
I had alot of fun, and the ROMs that the devs here have worked on are utterly fantastic without question. especially LeeDroid and Pays Rom. Both very good, but really it's A2SD that I can't be dealing with. Other than that Id like to be able to update the GApps. I guess the more things change you want them back to normal

Thanks however I don't really see much that answers my question, I want to go back to stock completely, no clockwork and no root.
Can I do this by plugging in my Goldcard and running an official RUU on my PC?
Yes, and the link is in there as I said.
Thanks for you reply toyface!
However, what do you mean by GApps? Google Apps?
I'm sure I'll root my phone, but 1st I want to have the way back safe in some folders on my pc. I know it should not be too difficult to find the stock rom (plus my phone is unbranded, so no need for goldcard or anything), but, so far, I haven't been able to understand which one is the right one for my phone among the many that one can find on this website.
I guess I need to post this question too!
Thanks again TF
Luca
You're right the link is in there, sorry, it's been a long day, great FAQ btw thank you very much!
Yeah, the google apps as in GMail and the rest of the family. I really like the custom ROMs that the devs here have cooked up, I feel the best is LeeDroid, but if you were going for your first go around ROM wise I'd wait a little bit, there working on getting the Desire HD ROM ported properly, and when that happens, the ROMs will be even better!
Thanks for the advice TF!
I'll pretend I understood exactly what you mean by porting the Desire HD ROM!
However, one other thing that keeps me from rooting now is that I may want to upgrade to the HD and so willl need to get back to stock in order to trade in my phone to the dealer.
Furthermore, I hope we'll see Gingerbread soon and that may be the time to root and flash a cooked rom with android 3 since, as usual, HTC will get there much later than google release it.
One last question, if you can spare some more time: One of the feature I'm after, as stupid as this may sound, is waking up the phone using the trackball. Is it true that this a feature available right after rooting even without flashing any rom. It sound strange to me but I read it somewhere here and nobody denied it, so I guess it could be true.
Ciao TF and good night

hey guys.
did anybody know here how to make 2.3.3 ota update root, i have tried gingerbreak that doesnt working showing just black screen.
my phn is s-on, I do it coz it wont accepting OTA update.
is there any manual process to make it root via adb shell or something like that.?
i dont want to install custom roms i already checked so much of them but the are not fully bugs free and not fully google compatible as i want..
It is not possible. True, not all the ROMs work great, but some do. Try Android Revolution HD 5.1.6.
You have to downgrade first to get root, and then S-OFF if you want to flash custom ROMs.
You can also downgrade, root, get Radio S-OFF, unroot, get OTA again and use GingerBreak. Then you can have root in the latest HTC Gingerbread ROM.

OTA didn't came when radio is S-ON. thats y i did this..
Your phone is always S-ON when it is stock, so surely OTA will work then. And even when it is S-OFF, it does not matter if your /system partition is in stock condition (no root, no bloatware removed).
HTC have stopped Gingerbread OTA because of to many bug (To many have reported problem with SMS, WiFi a.l.). It will be released new version within few weeks when those thing is fixed. Ref HTC support
Thanks jkolko for the useful s-off & eng-off guides. Should anyone else find it an issue, note that if recovery cannot mount your sdcard, you should try another sdcard (found this elsewhere in the forums).
Hi, any app for downgrading? Honestly, not à "hero" when it comes to touching my phone, but would like root (at least to get rid of some stock apps).

To have root in 2.3 you need to use the downgrade guide to 1.32. Root and S-OFF and update to Gingerbread using 2.3 RUU. Then use Gingerbreak .apk to root. Now you have rooted S-OFFed Gingerbread 2.3

Hello Frendz,
The day before yesterday HTC sent an upgrade to the factory default OS (i.e. 2.2 froyo) on my DHD and I happily upgraded to 2.3 Gingerbread. Now, before updating I had permanent root access on my desire through Visionary but just after the update I realised I do not have root anymore. I would appreciate any comments and other experiences in this matter.
Also, during my own research I came across Gingerbreak which is probably the best around for rooting the 2.3 version but all I wanna ask is, if I still need to downgrade to gain root access or is it possible to directly use ginger break somehow? If I am not flashing another Rom, and all I want is Superuser rights.
As, I have never flashed any other find on to my DHD and I was using the stock interface since the start obviously with visionary root.
Also, whichever way I do it, I would loose all my contacts apps or we can avoid that. Can anybody please suggest any good (possibly free) backup app.
Tooo Long to read but any help and replies will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Anyone have any idea when Visionary or another One Click will work on a stock DHD running 2.3.3? I only want to root to get Set Cpu to improve my battery life.

Wow, that's a bold statement in tech lol
Any reason why this build will never be hacked when seemingly every other one is?
Not doubting yr word at all tho lol
Because it uses (as far as we know) pretty much flawless security measures that prevent us from doing much anything. Previously the devs found a way to go around the main security barrier after two months of trying, and now HTC blocked that security hole. As downgrading is possible, there are really not much interests to try and crack the new builds. Especially as it seems like a mission impossible.
....sigh.....
and since downgrading, gold cards etc etc is not my favorite, still waiting for a simple apk "for dummies", I guess I can forget to get to root mine.....
Those guides are really not so hard. Read them a couple of times, and if you still do not get it, ask your friend to do it. You can also join #AndroidRevolution IRC channel, somebody can hold your hand through the process. If I am logged in, make sure to send me a private message in IRC so I notice you.
thanks for the offer! will read again & probaply come back t you for help
Indian Desire HD
Apparently the Indian DHDs running 2.3.3 cannot be downgraded to root.
Any help would be appreciated.

You can install seraphic custom Rom if you like its just a stock Rom with stock kernel and root access. I love that Rom, closest to stock you can get on rooted DHDs IMO.
yes, it really sad that to say 2.37 OTA upgrade cannot be downgrade this time, I really want to downgrade or just root it :'(
nothing can do this time

Trivial Question
I have a trivial question, I am very interested in rooting using this method, however I have recently encountered an issue with my stock rom ever since I did the OTA update to 2.43.611.1 The issue is HTC Sence has stopped unexpectedly window pops up quite often & in talking to telus my provider & HTC them selves, they both say the phone needs to be repaired,
My question since I encountered the problem immediatly upon doing the OTA update should I get it repaired first or just try rooting to see if that fixes it.
Also if possible can I be pointed in the direction of how to return to stock Telus if I end up rooting & the probelm still persists?
My thanks to thoes who have diligently be working & involved in helping others & myself reach root status on higher Build numbers.
Great Work!

The reason you're getting the error after the ota update is the same reason why people get issues after installing custom roms and not wiping their device... the old cache and user data conflicts with the update.
Downgrading and then flashing a custom rom along with flashing an updated radio will remedy the problem. I dont believe you'll want to use the initial radio release, I highly recommend flashing the radio from the 2.52 korean release to your Telus DHD, along with the ril's from that release and replacing the ones in the rom you will flash via cwm recovery. ENG S-OFF is required to flash a new radio or recovery img.
Once you downgrade, you can always return to the stock 2.43.661.1 rom. There is a thread in the Desire HD/Inspire 4G Forum on Driphter.com where I've placed the RUU's of common builds (especially for Telus and AT&T). If returning the device for warranty purposes, you must Radio S-On prior to Installing the stock rom via the RUU. The RUU Itself will set ENG to SHIP, and unroot.
Excellent, Greatly appreciated.
Might try rooting as soon as tonight. Kind of excited to have a functional device again!
I am glad that it worked, i thought OH **** the other day, when i found out that i shouldn't have updated to 2.50, if i was about to root..
Big thanks to you JSL, nice work, and easy tuturial!!

Is it true??? is any once facing serious disappointments after the upgarde?

At the moment there is no way to have it rolled back, it'll change your boot animation so telstra will most likely notice that you don't have their official rom on it therefore voiding your warranty. I think the main reason people don't like it is that once its installed you can no longer root your phone so you're stuck with it. Also, I'm not sure how great the stock force to sd feature would be.
Sent from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App
i thought my warranty goes through HTC? at least thats what i was told? if its a ROM by HTC why would it void their own warranty? well is it that bad that ppl want to go back to froyo? or is it coz they just want to complain or what? what is the actual difference that makes it a poor upgrade,and how come u dont think the force SD would be good?
Not so great, better to flash custom rom.

Who needs OTA? We have the stock RUU here already.
But did anyone seriously expect a different behavior?
HTC won't unlock the WFS bootloader as we already know... so how can anybody expect they would allow OTA updates on rooted phones?
Since I own HTC Android phones I never saw an OTA update working on a rooted or debranded phone (HTC Tattoo, HTC Desire, HTC Wildfire, HTC Wildfire S).
Before rooting or debranding (unbranding) everything is fine. When we "cross the line" we are on our own.
Any updates must be installed by us. Anyway that shouldn't be difficult to do...
IMHO that should be simple to understand.
I guess installing a modified recovery and then expecting for a free software update would be like showing the middle finger to HTC and still asking for candy.
Android is "open source" software but only until some extent. HTC puts a lot of modifications on their releases (mainly Sense and some addons).
If we want to "kit" or "mod" or phones we should be conscious of what we're doing.
The price to pay for being impatient or for wanting to have complete control of our devices is now pretty obvious.
I'm not saying I agree with this... on the contrary! HTC should unlock the booloader and let us do what we want.
However if we decide to take that path it's our problem.
If I put myself on HTC's boots I understand that rooting/debranding/modifying recovery is a valid reason for voiding warranty and locking future updates. With an user modified phone there is no guarantee that HTC can predict what will happen during the update process.
If something goes wrong there are possibly too many variables involved that are out of their control.
Just my two cents... sorry for my long posts mates.

I don't understand why people buy HTC phones which are mainly "famous" because of Sense and then want to get rid of it.
It's like buying a Ferrari and removing the logo with the horse.
If I wanted a plain Vanilla Android phone there would be plenty of cheaper solutions available. Many of them with custom roms being developed.
So why buy HTC and remove it's main feature?
This is obviously just my opinion. No flaming intended.
Well, it was my first smartphone ever, and what I got for 200€ is a nasty brick of bugs with hours extra work of fixing.
This piece of crap is not even capable of setting the clock correctly without rooting.
Then comes a update and they block my phone.
I'm really fed up of HTC "Quality", and want most of their "commercialware" removed now.
I will never buy any HTC again. I've had it.

That's normal, once you get rooted, you're on your own.

The RUU
Kind of off-topic, but on topic for the RUU update. Is it possible to installed Data2SD on this and be greater then 2 GB?
No, it's an official update.

But did anyone seriously expect a different behavior?
HTC won't unlock the WFS bootloader as we already know... so how can anybody expect they would allow OTA updates on rooted phones?
Since I own HTC Android phones I never saw an OTA update working on a rooted or debranded phone (HTC Tattoo, HTC Desire, HTC Wildfire, HTC Wildfire S).
Before rooting or debranding (unbranding) everything is fine. When we "cross the line" we are on our own.
Any updates must be installed by us. Anyway that shouldn't be difficult to do...
IMHO that should be simple to understand.
I guess installing a modified recovery and then expecting for a free software update would be like showing the middle finger to HTC and still asking for candy.
Android is "open source" software but only until some extent. HTC puts a lot of modifications on their releases (mainly Sense and some addons).
If we want to "kit" or "mod" or phones we should be conscious of what we're doing.
The price to pay for being impatient or for wanting to have complete control of our devices is now pretty obvious.
I'm not saying I agree with this... on the contrary! HTC should unlock the booloader and let us do what we want.
However if we decide to take that path it's our problem.
If I put myself on HTC's boots I understand that rooting/debranding/modifying recovery is a valid reason for voiding warranty and locking future updates. With an user modified phone there is no guarantee that HTC can predict what will happen during the update process.
If something goes wrong there are possibly too many variables involved that are out of their control.
Just my two cents... sorry for my long posts mates.

Freeze the update notifier with titanium backup
Or just disable automatic update check..
