Anyone is working on rooting 1.72 WITHOUT downgrade?
At least just clean root without s-off.
greets
Appearantly it is really wel secured since this ROM was released december and it is still not rooted. Best option so far is to downgrade and root. I haven't found any reference to a possible successful root of the 1.72 firmware. I am also unable to find any status/update on this subject...
If anyone knows more it would be appreciated!
u can do the g-free temp root/ s-off and fastboot load cwm and zing, no downgrade needed
how?
ps. obviously we are talkng about permament root

easy.
i do all this and the fastboot flash cwm, once u get S-off u can flash a recovery one, u just wont have root on stock rom. so u must flash a rom.

I recently received a replacement G2 with the 1.72 firmware(with wifi calling) so it had the Dec. update installed,and was able to root just as easily as I did back in Oct. Just follwed "blackprince310"'s method,and it worked like a charm.Again.

But did you make a downgrade?
wheeliest - you've flashed a new rom so it has the same disadvantages as downgrading.

I thought the only T-Mob G2 ROM versions were 1.19 and 1.21, both of which are rootable by the "usual" methods?

perhaps the replacement one came pre-ota-ed?
It had WiFi calling so it was definitely post ota.

Loosing the original rom? Which is good enough and needs only a few hacks.
Loosing all the settings and apps? Reinstalling 300 apps and setting them is the pain in the %$%.
Potentially dangerous process with goldcard?
So what for downgrading if one needs only the access to the system files and run some apps like adfree or dsp manager.
have you used cm7? because stock rom is garbage compared to it..
What has it so much better? (apart from new layouts and bacgrounds?)

everything about it, way more control over the phone, better performance, unlimited possibilities..
Don't want to be mean but:
CM7 Bugs/Not working/TODO:
Camera
Missing FM
Screen calibration support
First setup wizard restarts
and more:
just cant stand the download failures and the market failures.

Ok I have a rooted hero and my boss has the evo so I don't get to updating it much. I used unrevoked to root the phone when they first came out and have installed no updates so far. I saw I missed unrevoked2 and 3 and reading the notes on the website leaves me with more questions then answers. I tried running the recovery console from hboot but it gave me a red triangle with !.
So now I am trying to figure out how to update since I can't access the recovery screen. Can I just update to 1.42 and then run the unrevoked3 and have full root access? Any suggestions. Thanks
that sounds like it should work, do it quick though because when froyo 2.2 comes out, u might not be able to root.
and btw unrevoked 3 is not a full root, if u use simple root it is, and just as easy, might take 15 min. though
When you are at that screen with the red triangle hold volume up and press power that should get you into the boot screen.

What is the difference between full root and what unrevoked 3 get you?

You unlock NAND which means you can make changes to the file system. If you want to remove stock apps, make any file changes or want to install custom ROMs, then you need NAND unlocked. Careful though, it downgrades your PRI and there is NO way to upgrade it again, even if you return to stock. If you are able to do what you need with what unrevoked provides, you are better off sticking with it.

so if I don't care about running custom roms (only really interested in wireless tether) then upgrading the phone...breaking root...and then just running unrevoked3 would be my best option?
Can I just install the deodexed version of froyo released today?
Yes but you have to be fully rooted...nand unlocked...and have a recovery flashed to download that.

Dont do update 1.42....
My advise, don't update to 1.42, unistall unrevoked and do Toast root 1 and 2 method, then you'll have nand unlocked so you can flash a 1.42 rom already rooted, after that you can flash any Froyo flavor you want.

Do not upgrade manually, i repeat, DO NOT UPGRADE, it would be difficult later to get the full root
I just rooted/nand yesterday on 1.47 w/ 1 click simpleroot ota. it was super easy and painless.

The only way you can update to 2.2 AND have root is to go to full root/nand unlock...
Use simpleroot imo and then flash the ROOTED stock froyo rom.

sweet. Thanks
Hey guys,
This probably isn't just for DHD users but seeing as thats what im using i'll post it here!
So a while back i went through the custom ROM phase. I am by no means an expert in this area, im just able to follow instructions!
I rooted with visionary and went radio-off with the one click method (My phone was on 1.32). I gave a few ROMS a go and just preferred stock battery life etc so restored the stock ROM from my clockwork recovery back-up.
My question is how do i get my phone back to the state where it will receive official OTA updates from HTC (I've read that they wont work once you've done the S-off/radio-off procedure).
If its not possible to get it back to this state then what options do i have for getting official updates (say whenever HTC push the 2.3.3 ROM!)
Thanks Guys
easy way , run ruu updater utility for your phone but you loose all data and settings
Unroot it and install stock rom. You should be able to get total updates then

Yep, that's the guide to follow
That's the one. Use 1.32.405.6 RUU. Then you must turn your phone S-ON, you can follow the instructions in my radio s-off tool thread to do that.
Is this correct that if you root and have S-OFF you won't receive updates? I asked that question at the time of rooting and was told that I would still get updates?
The only reason I rooted was to get Adfree working and get other such apps for rooted devices.
My Rom is the 1.32.405.6 as I bought the DHD all I have done is root with Visionary and got S-OFF.

im in the same boat. wouldn't mind leaving my phone as is if id still recieve updates despite the root and s-off!
S-OFF does not disable OTA updates, but root does.

I used the S-OFF tool and Visionary temp root then perm root. How would we go about restoring everything when it comes to being able to get the 2.3 update?
Kind of wish I didn't root now as I was told the oppisite that S-OFF and rooting wouldn't effect getting updates.
Edit: I just used attempt unroot with Visionary, the DHD rebooted and I used root checker from the market and it says I don't have root now. Would this be sufficient to get updates now do you think?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Yep, that should be alright. If the OTA does not want to install, you can just flash HTC RUU and the issue will be fixed. You will get a notification about the OTA anyway, so you do not have to guess whether it works or not.
Thanks that's good to know that the update notification will come and that by unrooting fixes any problems. In the meantime until 2.3 comes I think I'll reroot
I only rooted in the first place to get things like Adfree and Drocap2 working.

In short, download the RUU you require (if you had to downgrade to root then use the same RUU) then use HTC Sync to push it to your phone (again, HTC site has good instructions).

oh i see will have a try...
so its really possible to update Android 2.3 OTA on rooted DHD, right?
Means rooted phone cannot update Android 2.3 OTA.
OR may be is there any way to update manually Android 2.3 on rooted phone? hehe
To do manually follow any of the threads in development forum.

but remember, you wont be able to use any apps that require root access, as the latest GB rom from HTC hasn't been rooted, so BEWARE!!!!!!!
if you need, you can go for any GB ROM from here, which provide you full access to root & superuser, etc.
Try using visionary
I know there's a unroot function on it, but never used it. Probarly someone else did, maybe search the forum
So i have a lot of experience with htc's, and my dad has a Desire HD he wants to root so he can use Ad-Blockers etc... SO i read the sticky, but does it wipe the phone? I don't see it mentioned anywhere... Also can i just keep him on the stock rom, because it mentions flashing a new rom etc. and i don't want to do that.

According to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24601222&postcount=6254 It can be rooted without downgrading or losing everything.... Anyone can confirm this for me? Would try it myself but cannot risk messing up my dads phone..

Is that for SuperOneClick? I believe that only works when you're already S-OFF.
