Hi, I was trying to root my Desire HD using unrevoked. I was stuck at the part that the unrevoked software said device'ace' is not supported at the time. Wat does that mean?
That software can't root your device. Probably it will be supported in a later release.
... this is the Desire forums, not the Desire HD forums. You might want to go look there instead.

I flashed my standard Desire and one of the first instructions was to enter Hboot by holding down "volume down and the power button". I would then attach the phone to my PC and install the custom drivers.
However, I am now attempting to do the same on my brothers HTC Desire HD, but nothing seems to happen when holding down volume down and power. It just boots normally. We are attempting to install the Unrevoked stuff.
Any idea how one gets into hboot on an HTC Desire HD?
Perhaps post in the DHD forum??

Touché. My apologies.
Pull the battery, reinsert, then hold volume down and power. It's got quick start up which I'm guessing doesn't actually turn the phone off. It's a pain in the ass.

Ah, it was under application options, "fast boot". Disabling that got it working. Only thing now is that Unrevoked sits there on "waiting for phone to respond"... or some message like that.
From what I understand the phone should be on "charge mode" not "storage mode".
Use VISIONary+ to permaroot your DHD. You can download it from the app market. Then use unrEVOked to flash a custom recovery. It's the way I did it.

Yea, we're attempting to use Visionary now. However, he set it to temproot now and then after, permroot now. But, it said the phone needed to be temprooted!
So, he set temproot on boot and has rebooted, so we'll see what comes of it. Seems a lot more complicated than rooting and flashing ROMs on my standard Desire
EDIT: Worked this time. To get Clockwork Recovery Mod installed, do I use "reflash_package.exe"?
unrEVOked doesn't work on the DHD, all the rooting options you want are on the DHD forum
From the unrEVOked site:
Supported Devices
unrevoked3 currently supports the following Android phones:
*Sprint EVO 4G (HTC Supersonic)
*Droid Incredible (HTC Incredible)
*HTC Desire GSM
*HTC Desire CDMA (HTC BravoC)
*HTC Aria
*Droid Eris (HTC DesireC)
*HTC Wildfire (HTC Buzz)
unrevoked3 will permanently unlock NAND write protection by default on the following phones:
*Sprint EVO 4G
*Droid Incredible (HTC Incredible)
*HTC Desire CDMA (HTC BravoC)
OK, so what is the best way to install the Clockwork Recovery Mod so we may flash his phone with a new ROM? We chose Ginger Redux.
It is permarooted now and SuperUser is there.
Hmmm, maybe I didn't use unrEVOked, so many phones so many ways! Have a look here.
Please the desire and desire hd is 2 different phones... This forum is for desire the earlier linked one is for desire hd. We can tell you how to root your desire, but we don't want to find a way to root your desire hd, when it's all there for you in the desire hd forum.
Also why would you think redux will work on a desire hd, when it is a desire rom(as far as i can see there is no version on the desire hd forum). So please realise that those a two different phones. They need to be rooted in two different ways and they need different roms... So please go to the desire hd forum.

I did, it's just that this helpful guy was being helpful
I'll be honest in that i'm still learning, so yea I do know they are separate phones but I was under the assumption that they were actually the same under the hood, just the HD slightly bigger etc...
I was told by the guy who develops ginger redux that it should work fine on a Desire HD... but if not i'll keep looking then.
Sup guys. I need help with rooting my HTC Desire HD, i want to use Unrevoken but i have a problem: in the compitable list it says htc desire not htc desire hd, does the hdh also counts as a desire? Thx guys and sorry for my bad english

Hi xOMG. I am not sure about Unrevoken, but as far as I know, the Desire HD actually can be rooted using VISIONary+ app.
The app has been removed in the Market. But you can go to this site and download the apk file for installation. http://android.modaco.com/content/software/320350/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/
You may consider downloading any file explorer from the market so that you can install the apk file. Read the steps carefully before you use VISIONary+. Do it at your own risks. Lol.
EDIT: Oh by the way, your English is not bad and its perfectly understandable. Really.
Cheers. =)
I tried V+ but it "Crashes" after the black screen, had to wait more then a minute, is that okay? Should i try it again?

I am at version number 1.8....
I need to downgrade to root. I was always of the understanding that my device was already rooted I have s-off and i just checked in bootloader.
I just want to know what is the best way to back up my data before hand?
So once i am rooted i can put it straight back on?
Yes. You have to have build number below 1.72xxxxxx in order you to use VISIONary+ to root your device. Else the rooting process will not work. I have my build number 1.32xxxxxx when I first bought my Desire HD. So it means I do not need to do any downgrading.
Pauly_k, in the first place, what are you planning to back-up? The stock ROM? If you are planning to switch to other ROMs, the app ROM Manager from the market, can be used as a tool to switch ROMs and also back-up ROMs. If apps and everything I would recommend Titanum Back-Up app.
When you do a Radio S-OFF and/or ENG S-OFF exercise, you do not need to on and off it back everytime. You can just leave it OFF all the time. It will not affect your device in everything e.g. performance. OFFing it allow you to gain full access into other area in your device such as to flash new radios.
Unless you wish you send back your device to HTC for say, warranty purpose, then yes of course you have to ON it back. Lol.
Cheers.
How i can root my HTC Desire with official Gingerbread.
AlphaRev18 and unrEVOked (last) dont work.
P.S. Excuse me for my English.
THANKS
you can't. Could try 2.2 RUU to revert back to Froyo and then root.
He can't revert back to Froyo as the Hboot have been upgraded.
Your kinda stuck till someone bring a rooting method or something like that!
i cant downgrade because my hboot version is 1.02.
and its not suported with my Froyo ruu.
What can i do?
Wait until there is a way to root or S-OFF your phone..... if that day will ever come.
hi, what do you think, when will root?
Fantastic! Just switched for a sec to new ROM from my favorite MIUI. . I'm sick seeing old Sense
No shell or DHD method will work?

I got a HTC Desire HD from my friend a few days back. It is on GB 2.3.3, with s/w number 2.37.720.3 (Indian Version).
First,
Could this version be downgraded or rooted by any means? Can i use a Goldcard to change the firmware ?
Second,
I noticed the one of the dual LEDs at the rear was'nt functioning, the bottom LED does'nt work. Is it normal and can be made to work properly or is the LED blown out?
Please help me!
Yes you will need to downgrade then root. Plenty of guides on the forums.

Hello,
I just got my new HTC desire Z to replace an HTC Inspire as I missed having a physical keyboard. I'd like to run Energy's rom as I have previously on other phones, but looking around it seems as though this phone is more of a PITA. So I haven't even powered it on yet, but before I do, don't update the oem software, correct? I need to unlock and root before I do any upgrade?
Thanks in advance!
Brad
Here's the rom I'd like to run...

Yep don't upgrade. If your phone already has upgraded firmware then you'll have to downgrade before rooting. Follow the wiki for rooting g2/dz found on xda, this is the safest way to do so and if you read first and understand the basics you'll be done in under an hour easily
