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.

Can I not flash older firmware ?

Hi forum...
In the Sonyericsson X10 section, we have a flash util, so we can flash whatever firmware version we want...
Do something like that not exist for the desireHD ?

It's called radio S-OFF.

Thanks for your answer..
So there is no flashtool to use, in order to revert back to an older Rom like them we have available to our X10 phones ?
The x10 can be flashed with all kind of stock roms using a simple flashtool, and without any changes like Root and s-off things...
The tool probably act like Sonyericssons update service SEUS..
But to understand this correct, there is no way back at all for us who didn't think about it, and just updated to the latest firmware ?
I'm sorry for the questions, but many things is called something else, and looks completely different here at desire hd section, when I am used to the x10 terms...
So it is all a little confusing...

Take a look in the Android Development section of the DHD Forum and you will find all you need. You do need to get root and then RADIO S-OFF but there are two simple tools to achieve that. See HERE for the guide.
If u accepted the latest OTA and did not have radio S-OFF then there is no way back................at the moment.

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..

any updates on root for official 2.3.3 update ?

just wondering if any one has heard on any developments on how to root the desire on 2.3.3 , i pray someone is doing something, im pretty dam fed up of this update -.-
Heres an idea. Instead of spamming the q&a section about the gingerbread update again, I suggest you go find the other 7 or so threads on gingerbread and find out for yourself.

sorry :/ i just really want this peice of **** software off my phone, quick question is there any way to fake a bootloader ( eg make the boot loader in the 2.2 ruu seem like the 1.xx boot loader you get with the 2.3.3 update but its actually the 0.94 bootlader ? if you get what i mean, maby that way the ruu would flash propperly and i would be back on 2.2 )

Research before doing anything is always the best policy.

what the ...

I rooted many phones in my life, I never had problems rooting a phone like this peace of ****!! does any one out there give a much easier link to root this crap?? Im currently on the latest version ics , or is there a way to revert back to GB like most HTC phones do?
Follow the stickied unbricking guide to get back to GB. If you want to return to official ICS use the CWM flashable version.
...and was there really a need for the swearing?
Rooting a phone with a locked bootloader isn't stuff to any n00b. It requires following huge tutorials or aknowlege to do it on their own.
This isn't a samsung galaxy for example.
