Hello,
I recently updated my DHD to Build 1.72.405.3 per OTA.
Now i would like to S-OFF/root my device.
Is there any way to root this build at the moment?
I tried to go back to RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.3_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.15_M3_release_155032_signed.exe (and then use the standard methods) but it fails with error 140...

Hi,
Have you tried searching? If you had you would of realised that this exact question has been asked 4-5 times a day since the latest OTA was released.
The quick answer is no, you cannot root.
Hello,
i tried searching, but didn't find a specific answer, only closed threads or how to's for updating to 1.72.405.3 without losing root...
is there a way to return to an older build?

Did you have Radio S-OFF prior to the OTA update?
Nope,
Thx for your response!

Seriously talking... if you updated *without* having Radio S-OFF now there's no way back... until devs find a new exploit that will allow to root 1.72 ROMs. Otherwise, if you have Radio S-OFF, you can roll back to 1.32 and follow this guide to update your device without loosing root.

Hi everyone!
This is the situation:
I got my unlocked HTC Desire HD from an authorized store but when I started it (at home) I've noticed that is branded from T-mobile Germany.
Since I use a Vodafone SIM, I decided to unbranded it. So I installed this stock ROM: RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26 .03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed. I followed the steps described in a thread on this forum, using Visionary and One click S-OFF tool. Everything was just fine. My device works without any problem except one: can't find OTA updates.
WHAT COULD IT BE? IS THERE SOMETHING I COULD MAKE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE?
Thank you in advance,
joaquin
As far as I know, once you have s-off and root and a custom Rom installed, the ota update will not work. If you want the update you will need to install a custom Rom running the new update.

I understood that the stock ROM is not a customized ROM.
And I checked in bootloader and the first row looks like this:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON
Doesn't this mean that my device has S-ON?
Is it possible that my device to be still rooted? If yes, is there a solution to make it unrooted?
Joquin
To be more specific, when i say can't find OTA updates, I mean I don't receive notification about updates and when I manually check it says "There are no updates available for your phone."
Do you know which CID you have on phone?
I had rooted, Eng S-Off and Radio S-Off (Super CID-11111111) on phone and phone found OTA update. Although I didn't tried to install it since in that way I'll be loosing root.
If I understand correctly youre still on 1.32 and you want to aquire root and S-OFF AND you want to update to 1.72?
If that is what you want, you will not be needing a prompt from your phone to update the system, because that way you will not be keeping root/S-OFF after the update.
Ensure you have BOTH Eng S-OFF and Radio S-OFF and you did temproot with visionary+. Check IVO's refference thread for that.
Its gotta work.
Then, for updating the phone correctly, take your time to read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885996
its not an easy guide for beginners (such as myself), but if you read the entire thread you will eventually get out. I did too.
I'm sorry, but I don't know where to find the CID number.
In the bootloader doesn't appear.

@maurei
I know if I will update to 1.72 is not possible to root at this moment and probably I will not make this update. But I want the OTA updates working not only for now.
Thank you anyaway
Joaquin
ah, hit quick reply instead of edit I guess.. soz for the dubble post, del this one
Thats what I'm saying my friend - you CAN have root AND 1.72
Its not possible to root fromin 1.72, but it IS possible to maintain root as you upgrade from 1.32 to 1.72 .
Reading my previous post made me realize it wasn't so clear.

I meant:
Then, for updating (=manually installing the update through recoverymode) the phone correctly (correctly =MAINTAINING ROOT and S-OFF), follow that guide.
Be sure you have ENG S-OFF and Radio S-OFF + permroot with Visionary+.
Also, be sure not to remove any preinstalled apps as this will cause unnecessary problems during the install
Sorry if I wasn't able to make myself clear.
My goal is not to have a rooted device. Maybe in the future I'll make this step if it will be necesary.
I want my device as new one, from store. I explained in the first post of this thread why I'm in this situation.
Through this thread I want to find a way to get OTA updates.
BTW, I understood that if the device is rooted OTA updates aren't possible. So I installed visionary+ and I used the "unroot now" button and I received this message: "your device doesn't appear to be rooted" or something like this.
It seems is not about unroot or s-on (see the 3rd post, too).
Anyway, if somebody has any idea, it would be apreciated to share.
Thanks,
Joaquin
You should at least get radio s-off before you upgrade. You'll thank me later if you decide you do actually want root.

I've used the search but frankly, the vBulletin search still sucks after all these years.
I rooted the phone following this guide. Now my phone says a system update is available.
Since I would like to install it (my phone is still 1.34, I think. The latest version should be 1.72, right?) and installing a stock update onto a S-OFF phone is highly inadvisable (I've read), how do I go about this?
I have Visionary installed but it says the phone does not appear rooted, even though it is (just checked).
I'm sure there have been others with similar questions and I just couldn't find the right thread. If so, please point me in the right direction.
Regards and thank you,

Why did you root your phone? There is no need to update your phone to the latest OTA update if you are wanting to install custom ROMs.
Because I was testing custom mods and wanted to go back to stock?

ahhh, I thought you had just rooted it. I updated the day after I received my new phone. I had problems with bluetooth (music wouldn't resume after ending phone calls) and wound up here on the XDA forums looking for answers. I ended up rooting my phone, installing CM6 and now CM7 and never looked back. There is no bluetooth switching problems using CM builds so I'm happy.
Found this:
http://www.thinkthinkdo.com/trac/project1/wiki/back_to_stock
Thanks, that looks interesting. Now the only question: Do I need my original CID? And if so, how do I find it now that the CID has been changed by gfree?
That link is about a procedure to restore the stock G2 ROM. Since you seem to have a DZ ROM, I'm not sure if you want to flash a G2 ROM (though the other bits might be useful).
The 1.72 OTA update has been rootable for some time now, so you can safely accept the update if you want. But it might be easier just to flash the 1.72 ROM in its entireity (you can get it from the dev forum).
With SuperCID and S-OFF you should have no problems flashing 1.72.

Really? Then I don't quite understand the stickied warning thread that says to never, ever attempt that.
Anyhow, I gave the Virtuous mod another go. Since it has sense and 1.72 I'm thinking of testing this one out a bit more, before I go flashing stock.
Thanks for the replies, though.
Hi
I've seen all the answers in this forum, but all of them seem to be a bit old. So am wondering, does Visionary still require the Firmware to be less than 1.7xxxx? Or has it been updated?
I'm running 1.75.161.2 CL301245 release-keys on a Vodafone(UK) Desire HD and am wondering whether I need to downgrade.
Hi there, If you are running FW 1.7+ you will need to downgrade here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003 first of all to v1.36 then run the visionary tool.
If you want to install custom roms you will need radio s-off and eng s-off in addition to this from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076.
Its all very straight forward even if you are new to rooting (like I was lol)

Yes, there appears little appetite (or need) to find a new exploit to gain root, when later firmwares are , relatively, easily downgradable. So yes you will need to downgrade to attain root

Thnx.
So no way to run rooted 1.72 F/W, eh?
If I downgrade, can I upgrade to 1.72 without losing root?
My concern is that all the custom ROMs have some reported issue. The most promising seems to be Revolution 3, but even that has a reported GPS problem.
You can use Raidroid stockify series ROM, you can install it like a custom ROM, but it is just rooted stock ROM. It has 1.72 version.
Please keep in mind that all people know is how to complain in ROM threads. Let's take Revolution HD for example, it has tens of thousands of users, and then there are maybe ten people a day who say that they have some serious problem. What are the chances that they have caused the problem themselves? Exactly..
I have not experienced any big issues with the ROMs I have tried, except the Gingerbread leak, which is obviously just a leak, and therefore you cannot expect it to be perfect.
Hi,
I just got my dhd back from repair and they updated it to 2.50.405.2 -.-
Is this downgradable yet to root ? I ****in hate standard roms
Please help..
Thanks
i think versions above 2.37 can't be downgraded yet.
i am waiting for downgrade of 2.42 as well. just wait
I to have 2.50.405.2 after repair.
I found rooted this version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155634&highlight=2.50.405.2
But dont know will it help to change ROM.
If some one will find some solution please share it.
gingerbreak 1.2 not working with 2.50
Well, u need clockworkmod to flash it which u need rom manager for. And for rom manager u need root
I think we'll have to wait.. But the 2.37+ downgrade has been in development for about 2 months now.. Taking way to long
Probably waiting to see which bootloaders are unlocked, as promised.
Due out in September.

If u are S-OFF then u can downgrade to 2.36 by using the RUU version then root ur device,
edit:- i´ve done it more than 3times after updating from 2.36 to 2.50 "OTA" (believe me u can)
U can get the 2.36 ruu here:-

Dont worry, in a couple of hours we'll have an updated method and toolkit available to downgrade.

Thanks a lot ,,, Guide from JSLEnterprises was so amazing and very helpful
can't wait to get my new ROM !
Edit:
DONE!
DHD is now rooted with Radio and ENG S-OFF.
Thank you so much.
Now moving on to flash another rom, and try and figure the whole fing about the radio out..
I successfully downgraded and rooted my desire hd 2.42.415 at last. Thanks a million JSLEnterprises. You are awesome
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!!
I can see that in /HTC ACE TOOLKIT
is a splash screen changer, and a boot animation changer.. how do i use them?
Cheers guys I will try that downgrade guide. Just a note though. The file fize of the version of HTC Sync for the Desire HD I'm downloading is 66.6MB. I hope that isn't an omen for this to go horrendously wrong

Decided to take the last Software update from HTC and messed up everything.
I am unlocked with S-ON so decided to relock and start the process, now after 3 days on reading and testing different way i have this:
unlock S-on Hboot 3.18.00000
invalide radio and os info. Tried Android revolution and Maximus latest ROM on both wifi don't work.
Tried to go s-off till i got the message that my device has been patched by HTC
I don't mind to go with a ROM or full back to stock but need some help getting the device working with wifi
This has been discussed in many (probably dozens) of existing threads.
The latest ARHD and Maximus require the latest firmware, which corresponds with hboot 3.19.
You either need to update the firmware manually with S-off, or install the newest OTA (if available for your version). Alternately, use a 2.xx software based ROM to get WiFi working.

Got the Wifi working installing a previous ROM as you suggest and now will start the process to get s-off and proceed. Even tried Sumshine do not mind to pay for it but can't install the apk on the phone.....
Is not my day probably

Just look in the Development section for the firmware collection. Or just read through the ARHD or Maximus threads (starting from the most recent posts and going back from there), and they will probably lead you to the same place. Seriously, its not that hard to search for info on XDA. I never once after modding 6 Android and 2 Windows Mobile devices before that, had to ask folks to lead me to the info. Most of us just search and find it ourselves. Reading through the thread for the ROM you are having problems with will lead you to the answer 99% of the time; and you should do this when you flash any ROM.
