Only by downgrading then re-rooting
you have to downgrade as shown in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
follow the steps exactly and everything will be just fine
Thanks guys for the reply
Last question : this situation is temperary, isn't it?
I mean a way to root this update is going to come out some time.
if that is the case do you recommend a specific site or thread that I should follow or should I just stick to searching the forum and the web
I really appreciate all the replies and help , thank you.

No, this situation is permanent. You really have to downgrade due to incredibly tight security in HTC devices. Be happy that it is even possible to root devices with these new builds..

Hi all,
Sorry if this questions been answered already.
But why is everyone saying that the new HBOOT is unable to be rooted.
Is it locked down, and how?
Or just it hasn't been done yet?
Thanks for all info, and explanations

It can be now, via downgrading to 0.80
Ok it can be downgraded, but why can't the newest one be rooted?

Is this an unanswerable question?

Cause the exploit that was used in the older hboot was fixed and no-one has found a new one yet. Be our guest if you want to find one

Well as a slight noob, it's way over my head, but you know, "the only stupid question is the one not asked".
And I guess the answer from that its it just hasn't been done yet.
Thank you

these are the things need to allow your phone to accept any roms by flashing
those are like locks/obstacles for your phone u have to unlock all of it to be able to flash those roms but you will need to downgrade your firmware version if its any higher than 1.32 then root the phone using visionary and use the easy desire hd radio tool to do the s-off,radio-off,etc.
Check this thread, should explain it all.
Hey guys, visionaryplus doesn't work on Android 2.3.3 anymore, so..how do i root my HTC desire HD running 2.3.3? Give me a nice and easy guide! Thanks!

If you have S-OFF you can use GingerBreak - GINGERBREAK LINK
If not, you need to downgrade! ... DOWNGRADE LINK
after downgrading, you can then upgrade to 2.3.3

wow mate, bit of patience hey? 80 minutes between 1st and 2nd post!
if you're S-OFF already, the way to root that I know is to downgrade to 1.32 then run the visionary tool: http://android.modaco.com/topic/320722-19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/

Thank you very much for your help
I used the ACE Kit yesterday to get from v2.3.5 to v2.3.3 and rooted. Simple and straightforward if you follow the instructions and have patience.
