Hi,
I could really use some help rooting my htc Desire z.
I already tried VISIONary 13 and 14 the app stopped responding at attempt temproot.(i waited much longer than 30 seconds)
with the gfree method for htc vision (the one from xda wiki) the terminal bugged at the second boot where i should get root access.
i tried all above methods multiple times.
could someone please help me or suggest an alternative method?
What exact ROM are you running ?

Hey, Im looking for a comprehensive guide on rooting a HTC desire on froyo, I assume it involves flashing with an older Rom, also I can't ever seem to boot into recovery mode, I think I may have damaged the recovery Rom, however I have little knowledge on android. Just got my desire a week ago and loving it so far. Any help or advice much appreciated

Hi xOMG. I am not sure about Unrevoken, but as far as I know, the Desire HD actually can be rooted using VISIONary+ app.
The app has been removed in the Market. But you can go to this site and download the apk file for installation. http://android.modaco.com/content/software/320350/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/
You may consider downloading any file explorer from the market so that you can install the apk file. Read the steps carefully before you use VISIONary+. Do it at your own risks. Lol.
EDIT: Oh by the way, your English is not bad and its perfectly understandable. Really.
Cheers. =)
I tried V+ but it "Crashes" after the black screen, had to wait more then a minute, is that okay? Should i try it again?

I am at version number 1.8....
I need to downgrade to root. I was always of the understanding that my device was already rooted I have s-off and i just checked in bootloader.
I just want to know what is the best way to back up my data before hand?
So once i am rooted i can put it straight back on?
Yes. You have to have build number below 1.72xxxxxx in order you to use VISIONary+ to root your device. Else the rooting process will not work. I have my build number 1.32xxxxxx when I first bought my Desire HD. So it means I do not need to do any downgrading.
Pauly_k, in the first place, what are you planning to back-up? The stock ROM? If you are planning to switch to other ROMs, the app ROM Manager from the market, can be used as a tool to switch ROMs and also back-up ROMs. If apps and everything I would recommend Titanum Back-Up app.
When you do a Radio S-OFF and/or ENG S-OFF exercise, you do not need to on and off it back everytime. You can just leave it OFF all the time. It will not affect your device in everything e.g. performance. OFFing it allow you to gain full access into other area in your device such as to flash new radios.
Unless you wish you send back your device to HTC for say, warranty purpose, then yes of course you have to ON it back. Lol.
Cheers.
Hi,
I'm trying to root my Desire HD using the official HTC Bootloader Unlocker.
At the very first step, how do I deal with the .exe RUU file since I'm using a mac ?
Do I REALLY have to get a Windows installation to get it done ?
Thanks,
I wouldn't use the official HTC method. Causes more pain than it does good. Just use the advance AC hack kit

Thank you so much.
One hour ago, I didn't even know this one-click-all-in-one-superdupertool existed, and right now my telephone is rooted.
Cheers.
Hello,
I just got my new HTC desire Z to replace an HTC Inspire as I missed having a physical keyboard. I'd like to run Energy's rom as I have previously on other phones, but looking around it seems as though this phone is more of a PITA. So I haven't even powered it on yet, but before I do, don't update the oem software, correct? I need to unlock and root before I do any upgrade?
Thanks in advance!
Brad
Here's the rom I'd like to run...

Yep don't upgrade. If your phone already has upgraded firmware then you'll have to downgrade before rooting. Follow the wiki for rooting g2/dz found on xda, this is the safest way to do so and if you read first and understand the basics you'll be done in under an hour easily

Hi, i have an HTC Desire Z with the latest update (i thinnk at least); Android version 2.3.3, HTC Sense 2.1, Software number 2.42.405.4
Can i use the HTC Quick Root?
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:
Not sure what htc quick root is, if your reffering to the htc unlocked bootloader that doest root your phone rather just unlocks the bootloader, then you can root
That method may seem easier at first but is a pain in the long run. Follow the xda wiki or strawmetals pdf guide to root, there are a number of threads here on xda explaining this. If you take a few moments to learn how to do it this way the payoff is huge
