i have a question are few
first i have a hd2 that i have flasht and i like that very much
now i have a desire hd and i see sometimes something like root the question is is this the same as flashing ?
and how do i do that and what is it that i can do more when i root de desire
and what do i have to do and where can i find the stuff
someone help me pls
hi it would take me awhile to explain so here is a good place to start reading about root/s-off and flashing new roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846248
but if your desire HD has the new firmware 1.72.405.x (check in setting>about phone>software) this software can't be rooted and you would need to downgrade the software to older version(1.32.405.x) which can be rooted you can find how to downgrade if need be here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
so if you have older firmware don't update it until you have radio s-off
hope this gets you started.
thanks for your explanation

Hi everyone,
Can someone kindly give me a hand rooting my Desire HD. I have installed Visionary R14 but everytime I click TempRoot is says "Rooting Device" and about 30 seconds later the screen goes black then Sense reloads but device still remains unrooted.
Am I doing something wrong or is there any other way to root the phone?
Many thanks,
Dan.
What is the version of the software in your DHD? You need to downgrade if it comes with version other than 1.3.xx
The software version number is 1.84.61.2. How do I go about downgrading? Where can I obtain the software from?
Sorry for the amateur questions...
How about doing some reading in the android development side The stickies contain everything you need to know. You can find a downgrade guide there.
yo, dr9722.
i just recently rooted my phone too.
1st - downgrade to 1.32 (since visionary doesnt work on your current firmware)
2nd - then root.
this video makes it really clear

and watch part 2 and 3, although i think part 3 is for installing custom ROM, but you can be rooted with your stock ROM, like me .
CodeNameUnknown, this is exactly what ive been looking for. Thanks very much.
Im not going to get a chance to give it a go until Tuesday but will post an update then. Thanks again.
your welcome

Downgrade, root, radio s-off, install WWE ruu.
Once u do that you lose root and recovery, so what u need to do is temp root and radio s-on.
And you should have a fully unbranded dhd

This will all probably sound extremely nooby but just want to make sure I dont do anything to break my new DHD!
I've previously had experience rooting and flashing ROMS on a Htc Hero and that seemed much simpler.
Basically what I want to know is, if I have a branded Orange DHD do i need to use a goldcard in order to flash ROMS like Android Revolution or is a gold card just if I want to a flash a HTC stock ROM? I've tried reading up on this but I'm still unsure...
And also, does rooting and flashing Roms and Radios affect the sim card at all or does it just affect the device itself?
Your similar card is fine no matter what you do, unless you try and bend it!
The process of flashing ROMs is exactly the same as the HTC Hero, my old phone, however some processes need to be run before you can flash.
If you have a branded Orange handset and firmware 1.72/1.84 you will need to downgrade to 1.32 before you can root and start these processes, ENG S-OFF & Radio S-OFF (Optional).
I will link an excellent guide that has all the info you need.
Here are the excellent guides

Guides by jkoljo
Once you have done everything, simply install ROM Manager from the market, flash Recovery from within there, Download your chosen ROM, flash from Recovery.
One point to note,
If you intend to flash a 2.2 (Froyo) ROM use a 2.x.x.x Recovery
If you intend to flash a 2.3 (Gingerbread) ROM use 3.x.x.x
thanks a lot, sorry to be a pain but the thing I'm really unclear about is if my DHD is Orange branded, but my firmware is 1.40.61.2 do i still need to downgrade to 1.32?
I don't know to be honest. Try running Visionary+ and see if you can root. If you can, then you don't need to downgrade.
Your firmware seems.to be rootable

At the moment it´s:

a few months ago i downgraded my dhd with that firmware and rooted it, does this still work with a that newer firmware?
my aim is to put a custom rom on it
ofc u can downgrade with that ruu, there are only downgrade guides in this forum cause it makes more fun with the hard way

I have got HTC DESIRE HD with the following Software statistics:
Android Version: 2.2
Software Number: 1.83.415.4
Now i want to root my HTC DESIRE HD to be able to install some custom ROMs of ANDROID 2.3 gingerbread... i have tried using all the different tools such as VISIONARY+ and many other methods that I have found over the internet but none of them works. Can anyone of you please guide me on how to correctly root HTC DESIRE HD, as i've heard that if your software version is greater than 1.72 than its not possible to root it and first you need to downgrade your software version. So help is required from anyone who could help me to downgrade and root my HTC DESIRE HD.
Try searching, you will get your answer a lot quicker. Your specific question gets asked around 2-3 times daily.
Dear, i have been doing that since long but unable to find any suitable option uptil now and that is the reason i finally posted it here.. So if you have any such link which could be of help than that would be nice of you. Thanks...

Hey thanks alot for the help... Actually i tried doing the same procedure again and this time it worked.. i was unable to downgrade as there was some issue with my SD card. Formatted it in normal mode (no QUICK FORMAT) and after that followed the same steps and this time it worked perfectly fine without any issue and finally i have got mh DHD rooted and also S-OFF... Looking for a CUSTOM GINGERBREAD ROM for it.. Do you have any suggestions which one to go for...
Thanks once again for the help...

Hiya matey,
Its gotta be LeeDrOiD's GB all the way mate. Make sure you have a nandroid backup of your old ROM and be sure to backup before any significant changes to your DHD.
Happy Hunting
Hi, I'm a little lost on the site here..
I have been reading up on rooting my DHD and to be honest i dont know if its possible, if it can what rom do i use and what tools..
Andriod Version 2.3.3
HTC sense version 2.1
Software Number 2.50.405.2
Any help & advise would be great.
Thanks
It is possible. Everything you need is in my signature
So downgrade first, then do Radio S-OFF and optionally ENG S-OFF. Then follow the instructions in Radio S-OFF thread (first post) to flash ClockworkMod and finally a ROM.
ENG S-OFF can be done later, too, so you do not really need to worry about it at this point.
I would recommend Android Revolution HD because it is the most popular ROM for Desire HD.
Thank you very much for the quick response ill get to doing it now
After downgrading you can use this guide (Its by the previous gentlemen as well)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769
I also recommend Android Revolution HD
Just to confirm I downgraded and rooted yesterday using these guides. Was simple and a brilliant help couldn't have done it without them.

Nope I don't think its possible due to having to place the downgrade zip file on the SD card, and then there is the fact that if its branded you will have to make a goldcard.
Yes I am new to this myself so I apologize if i am wrong but just wanted to try and help you out.

Also think its not possible, after all if there was a way it would be in the guide (a safe way at least). You should wait for your card to arrive and maybe try and get a second card in case you need to make a gold card.
