[Q] Build# 1.82 how to root it?

For the first.. Hi All !!!
I am a new in Android and HTC brand. I have read some materials on this forum, and would like to make sure and clarify some doubts.
I have checked bulid# and it is 1.82 In some thread it was written that rooting needs below 1.72. If I understood well I will need to downgrade it but is it applicable for 1.82 and if it is, what method would you suggest for me (pls indicate any good thread).
Thanks a lot.

Your best bet is to follow the guide in the wiki and read the linked thread there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD

Ok, thanks but I have read it generally and it is for 1.72 not 1.82 as in my situation. Are you sure it will work?
I would like to have sure..., to not brick my new, already lovely phony Consider too I am a new in this subject, Android and HTC. I wouldn't like to screw up something.

How have you managed to perm root / downgrade your 1.82 g2 ?
I have a desire z 1.82 and I'm stuck on the step 11, it won't ask me to apply the update. Previous steps works.

Ok, I had similar problem and it was caused because I hadn't used Goldencard. So for the first lets check this.
Have you checked your CID?

Hi,
I was stuck in Part 3 where I can't SU in adb shell. The return message is Permission Denied.
After much checking, still do no good. need help....thanks in advance.

Now you can flash custom ROMs. If you like stock soft with sense I advice you to try Virtous ,pretty nice ,I'm using it now.
For going into something more custom try CM7 (be aware it is without sense).

[Q] stuck here .....

I am trying to downgrade to a lower version from Gingerbread for the past hour and each and every time, I am stuck at the screen given below, I have taken out the sdcard formatted it to FAT32, made a goldcard all the steps go fine, even no problem makin a goldcard, but I get stuck at this screen!!!! and it keeps sitting there. I have done all the above steps at least 3 times. I am following the guide by jkoljo .... How do I downgrade???? Anyone
By the way my desire HD is from India and the s/w no is: 2.37.720.3

***Bump***

please be patient waiting at least 24 hours, weekend and there are fewer people

I think HTC have patched the root exploit in build 2.37. This hasn't been confirmed yet but it's my opinion.

Thank you so much andyharney, your's is the first friendly human post so far ... other than the

(no offense to you Sir SERGI.3210).
Back to you sir andyharney, if HTC has patched it, then I guess the only option is to twiddle my thumbs and wait for the patch.

andy can I download and update my DHD with the UK Gingerbread RUU..will that help anyways? or maybe can I downgrade to my previous stock rom, I have a PD98IMG.zip file for my previous stock rom (PD98IMG_Ace_hTC_Asia_India_1.84.720.3_Radio_12.28g.60.140f_26.05.05.27_M3_release_175158_signed)

Sadly not, as your current firmware is newer (2.37) than the WWE (2.36) RUU.

It is presumed that the Gingerbreak exploit has been patched up as of 2.37 and we all are waiting for a new exploit, in the meanwhile others have also been reporting the same issue using 2.37, have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003&page=149
And to fully knock yourself out, with the exploit thing go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100183 and read post #5

Ok, I`ll just waiting. I wish luck to devs.

Thank God!
I am using RCMIX HD Kingdom v 1.2 with Sense 3.0 on my DHD and when I saw I downgrade guide from Gingerbread to get root access, I decided to upgrade to the official 2.3.3 in India. I saw the initial posts in that thread say that the method worked really well.
I had almost made up my mind to try the official update knowing that I can downgrade using the guide, but just before doing that I thought I'd read the more recent posts and guess what I realized the Indian software number 2.37.720.3 cannot be downgraded! Which means no root access and no custom ROMs (at least for now). I immediately changed my mind and didn't upgrade.
Thank God!

[Q] How to root HTC desire HD ver 2.3.3... ? NEED HELP.. !!

Hii guys..
I am new to this forum.
I need to root my HTC DESIRE HD (gingerbread), with s/w number 2.37.720.3.
But I have learnt from many other sites and other threads in this forum that
Desire HD must be downgraded first.
There are ways to downgrade for s/w number 2.36.XX.X, but couldn't find any for 2.37.
Hope some one kind enough could help me out.
Thanks in advance guys..
Regards,
K.Sagar.

I am afraid you are stuck without root my friend, you cannot temp root 2.37 with gingerbreak and hence downgrade is impossible at present. I guess you will have to wait for HTC to open their bootloaders and then flash a custom rom with root in it.
When HTC will open DHD bootloader... only time will tell.

Thanks for the info dude..

hmm that's not a pleasant news...If I knew that I'd never go for gingerbread update. I do get htc sense error frequently. That's really annoying. so any way I'm positive that the xda pro will come up with solution.
Cheers

Hmm, I reckon someone will figure this out.
Soon, I hope!

Hope you guys at XDA will figure it out... Please find out a solution...
Thank you guys in advance..
Really awaiting a solution..

Yups, guess we all would like to know when HTC opens it's DHD bootloader ...

So did any1 find a way to root 2.37.720.3??? I m pissed with tjis stock rom...vry unstable...wifi conntection drops...no update in india ((

Hi All,
Just wondering if there is already a way to root 2.37, I can't seem to find any update on this.

Link was given 4 posts back?? Or use ACE Hack Kit on the forum.

Thanks, another question I have 2.37.707.4 is this considered a branded phone?

[Q] How do I root my DHD? (2.50.45.2)

Hey, I´ve used the search tool, but couldn´t find anything.
I would like to Root my HTC Desire HD, so I can Install the new Android Revolution 6.x (Android 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 )
My Phone is currently running:
Android 2.3.3
Sense 2.1
Baseband Version 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel Version 2.6.35.10
Build Number 2.50.405.2
Software Number 2.50.405.2
My Phone has no branding!
Is rooting possible for me?
Can Someone please help me?
I am totaly new to rooting, so I would appreciate a step by step tutorial.

That makes two of looking for the same information, any help out there please

YES rooting is possible.
I rooted my Dhd about two weeks ago and all went well.
I spent about a week reading lots of different sites. All using different methods in the end I used a guide on driphter.com
Forum > Everything Android > HTC Desire HD/Inspire 4G > General Discussion > [GUIDE] Downgrade, Root, Radio & Eng S-OFF DHD/Inspire 4G in 9 Steps
if your unbranded you can skip the goldcard step.
i also had to download the PD98IMG using my phone and move it to the root (not in any folder) of the sd card using astro
the only other step i changed was to install visionary+ from blackmart alpha (google it. Its a blackmarket market) the install from the toolkit didn't work for me.
JSL is very good/quick to answer questions on that fourm.
Hope this helps.

What do I need S-Off for?
What does it do?
Thanks for the Help, Ill try it out...
(I hope I dont brick my phone)

You need s-off to flash new roms its an added security HTC add.
I think it stands for security off but i'm not 100% sure if anyone wants to correct me/let mr know please do.

I can´t download the ToolKit
Something seems to be wrong with the .zip file...
Any other way?

What you guys need to do is read, and follow closely, all of the information contained in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079108
I hope it answers all (or at least most) of your questions.

Could it be your Antivirus is killing the download? check to see if it is being held in Quarantine.
Take Care

i had the same problem, solved it a bit complicated:
i first made the official update to gingerbread (from carrier) and then made the downgrade to 1.34...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
for perm root i used the wiki guide

Thank you for the information.
It worked.
First upgrade to 2.3.5 and then use the tut to downgrade to 2.2 build 1.34.
Second used the tutorial to root compleet and putting superuser on mob.
Third i flashed clockmod on the mob.
