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).

Hello Everybody,
Am totally new for the Android and i just received my HTC Desire HD 2 days ago
i spent these 2 days navigating the web trying to collect as much knowledge about my new phone
i became interested about Rooting topics ... even though i did not found a full simple guide to do it on my Desire HD
can i root my Desire HD or not? based on the details below
The phone is Branded to Vodafone UK
Android Ver.
2.2.1
Baseband Ver.
12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2
Software No.
1.75.161.2
if yes, could you please provide me with some kind of detailed specific guide to do it with the required software links
if no, why? and what specifically should i wait for?
sorry guys for talking so much
but as i mentioned above am totally new in Android...
Thanks a lot in Advance
Best Regards,
You can't root on 2.2.1 without S-OFF (to have S-OFF U must have a root). We must wait for solution.

Here you can downgrade.
Hello everyone! I own a desire hd and it's stock (soft. ver. 1.72.405.3), I must say I am ok with it that way but still I'm thinking of rooting it..
but I don't know much about that.. though I like it stock I understand there are some things it can do more...
first of all: what do I lose by rooting? the htc sense? the htc themes/ interface? the dolby surround and srs software?? see, I don't really want to return to the basic android and I like the custom htc interface..do I lose it??
second I heard about the official upgrade to 2.3 so I would be better to wait for that first?
by rooting I am mainly looking for overclocking..god, that's so cool!
so if someone can answer me the questions above, it would be great! also, if I decide to root which is the best way to do that, what programs do you recommend, is there a desire hd based ROM, and what should I do for overclocking?
thanks a lot!
First of all, your current software version cannot be rooted, you need to downgrade to an earlier version to root. You can root without installing custom roms, but most of the custom roms come with sence and all the htc additions

Hi,
and welcome to XDA.
The software version of your Desire HD (DHD for short) is not possible to root. In order to overclock you will need to downgrade to an earlier version (1.32).
Once downgraded rooting becomes easy. The process of rooting will not break anything, including the stuff you've mentioned. However, there is an additional layer of protection that HTC employ to prevent you from bricking you DHD. This beast is known as S-ON (Security On). In order to make persistent changes to your DHD, such as custom HTC Sense ROM's you will need to disable this, achieving S-OFF. This will break Over The Air (OTA) Updates from HTC or your network/carrier.
Again this is pretty straight forward.
If you wish to flash a new Radio you will need to have ENG S-OFF & Radio S-OFF.
The guides posted below are not created by me, they are very good and information in them will overlap slightly.
To downgrade, read this guide carefully --> Downgrading to 1.32 - Guide By jkoljo
To root & apply ENG S-OFF, read this guide carefully --> Rooting & Applying ENG S-OFF - Guide By jkoljo
To apply Radio S-OFF, read this guide carefully --> Applying Radio S-OFF - Guide By jkoljo
Once you have done all the basics we can talk you through the rest.
Let us know how you get on.
hey! thank you both
so I want to know, beside this protection that has to be disabled, the phone will act normal, right? no performance loss?
and also, if i block the update, i won't be able to update to gingerbread?
are you satisfied with the phone rooted compared to the stock?
and i'm planning to move to UK, will I be able to use it in other carrier such as o2 since I've got mine from orange RO?
Thank you
Tib!
You are correct, your DHD will not behave any differently than if the protections were enabled.
The Official Gingerbread update from HTC is still quite a while away, and all of the custom ROM Dev's will include any changes into their ROM's. So don't feel like you will miss out if you root & apply S-OFF.
Yes, I am very happy with it rooted. I can over/under clock my CPU when the situation demands, block in-app ads system wide, perform full backups of my entire DHD. These are merely scratching the surface of what root access can enable.
As for you moving to the UK, once you perform Radio S-OFF using the guide and tool described above, your DHD will not be SIM Locked to a particular network/carrier.
sounds great then.. but: it will erase all the data on the phone, right? i will lose everything
secondly, I am concerned about the rest of the process.. i will root it but after that? I'm sure all the cool stuff isn't free but i don't have access to payed apps on market, just for free ones (this is what is available for Romania at the time..) so i'm afraid i will get stuck..
thanks
Downgrading will erase all data on your DHD.
Some, not all the cool stuff are paid app's.
For instance SetCPU, the app nearly everyone uses to overclock their handsets is a paid app. But for XDA members its free. You can find it here on XDA-Devs, its all above board and legit. Other apps such as Titanium Backup have a paid app version on the Market, but also allow you buy a donate key from within the app.
I wouldn't worry about getting stuck, there are hundreds of users here all willing to help if you do.
EDIT: You can find SetCPU --> HERE, obviously if you like it and can afford to, donate to the author.
my friend, I understand there is a lot of work so I don't expect anything for free... of course I will donate (the app to download is at the end of the first thread, right?) but until now, the only access I had was to the free apps on market.
now.. I want to risk and root my phone.. (for me is an important decision) ) can I do this myself?
first I will follow the three steps you told me above and then I will look for help)
thanks

You can do it yourself and it's perfectly safe provided you take the time to read the guides and follow the instructions carefully.

hi everyone,
i've just bought a DHD a month ago and my software version is 1.32.707.5
I have read quite a lot of thread regarding rooting the DHD but somehow i'm afraid that i brick my DHD if i try to root it because it seems that it is not as easy as running android on my HD2. My question is, is there anything i need to check before i start rooting?
Cheers

as far as I know, the branded ones show the logo of the company (ex Vodafone, T-mobile.. etc)
The whole thing is really confusing to me. I do have ENG S-OFF, and already flashed a Radio and some Roms. Is ENG S-OFF better than Radio S-OFF? Or what is the difference to it?
I read some threads about it and now I am really confused..

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 ((

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.
