[Q] Will updating wipe my root?

Hi there !
I've rooted my Desire HD and installed the engineering version of HBOOT and have S-OFF. I have NOT installed a custom recovery or custom ROM though.
If I update my Desire HD's software in the future (using the official updates), will it wipe my root and S-OFF?
Thanks,
Alex

Sorry, bump

Android 2.3 can be rooted with revolutionary. Under supported devices the desire with bootloader version 1.02.0001 (the bootloader version the desire has after gingerbread update) is listed.

Use irc channel.

Revolutionary only gives s-off. To get root, flash the zip from their documentation page

So that is the easiest and only way. I guest I could wait for HTC to unlock hboot or say revolutionary to break it.

I supose but revelutionary won't be able to root your dhd unless there's been a break through to s-off dhd like that.
I'm affraid that is currently your best way to root, I had the latest ota update when I decided to root I tried twice and it worked

[Q] G2 or Z Hboot question

hi everyone, i just wanted to ask how will i know which hboot i'm using on my desire z? becuase my friend rooted it for me, and he didint know if he used the desire z hboot or G2. know i wanted to flash vision rom but i dont know if i have the desire z hboot. please help me

If you have the Desire Z, it came from the factory with the Desire Z HBoot. If your friend doesn't know which one, he probably didn't change it. And there would be no reason to flash the G2 Hboot on a DZ.

becuase he downgraded before rooting, i was thinking maybe somewhere in the process he flashed G2 hboot?

Go into bootloader to see what version of hboot is installed

Desire HD stock rom.

Hi there (I'm new here), I have a HTC Desire HD with PAC-MAN custom rom. How do I revert to the stock rom?
My phone is S-ON, unlocked bootloader.

Hello,
I think that you have to relock the bootloader, you need or not a goldcard, flash a rom (RUU), which has the same hboot version then your DHD or superior.
Wait other opinions.

Is there a way without locking the bootlaoder? Like a .zip I can flash?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app

I think that you can install a stock rom in RUU*.exe format ONLY with S-ON DHD and relocked.
If your DHD is unlocked and rooted (S-ON or S-OFF), you can install easly a stock rooted rom (same steps when installing a custom rom).

Thanks I have tried 2 RUU but they dont work!:thumbdown:

The hboot version of your phone must be equal or higher then the hboot of the stock rom.
In the past i tried many to can install one:
