Hello all you wonderful guys and girls,
I am a noob and have taken the plunge to root access. Sorry if this is a dumb question.
I have run visionary and temp root worked fine. I then performed perm root and all seemed well. Once rebooted superuser is not functional and returns a FC whenever any apps attempt to use it. Attempting to confirm su access in terminal emulator produces FC. Many apps including gmail also FC. In addition some apps completely disappeared eg ES File Manager/angry birds
I haven't been game to try anything else as I can't find this behaviour described anywhere else. The phone is still functional and it was always my intention to continue to flash to android revolution or similar.
Am I worried over nothing and should proceed with radio s-off? Or am I asking for more trouble by going further?
Desire HD
Stock ROM
Kernel version 2.6.32.21-g66cfb7a/htc-kernel(at)and18-2 #1
Build number 1.32.861.5 CL277010 release-keys
Software No. 1.32.861.5
Thanks in advance,
Indro9
Please help guys, I'm starting to worry a bit.
Have you tried to install su from market, does that work?
cheers
Ilan
Thanks for the reply marleyb,
There was some weird stuff going on, even the market crashed eventually.
Jkoljo suggested some thing obvious and simple and perform a factory reset. This has fixed the issue and on second attempt, visionary+ has worked and I have permroot! The first go around, visionary must have broken something in my system partition.
Cheers for your input,
Dave
hi Indro9,
I have a Desire HD on the Three network with the same firmware number as you 1.32.861.5
I'm a total noob to the whole ROM/Rooting scene as well and want to root my phone.
I've read many guides saying that if you're running firmware 1.72/1.75 you need to downgrade to 1.32.405.6 or lower but no mention is made anywhere of what you need to do if your running our firmware 1.32.861.5.
Did you downgrade your firwmare before you rooted your phone or was it ok to proceed with your firmware version?
Also which guide did u follow and do you have any words of advice seeing as we have the exact same phones? You help would be greatly appreciated mate.
Thanks

Hey vinpor,
As Marleyb says, visionary+ worked fine with that firmware version.
The guides I followed are as above plus also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964996 although without the eng s-off and radio flash.
As far as which ROM to use, Android revolution 4.0 beta 4 is what I have now and am very happy so far. I've already tried a few others and disappointingly cyanogenmod 7 breaks when I activate the wireless although its an experimental. Cyanogenmod 6 worked though was based on 2.2 so I was itching to try a newer ROM.
All in all the process was easy and the support here on xda was great. I got a bit nervous early on (rooting) but the flashing was simple and just as described.
Please give to the people who have worked this out for us and let me know if I can help any further.
Dave
Also, I just want to add that jkoljo's radio s-off program worked just fine on my mac using xp via parallels. Thanks again to jkoljo.
Dave
Thanks for the help guys. Just thought I should let you guys know the rooting process went well & I managed to get radio s-off as well as eng s-off. So far I've tried revolution hd & leedroid both seem much smoother than my stock Rom.

Well, u need clockworkmod to flash it which u need rom manager for. And for rom manager u need root
I think we'll have to wait.. But the 2.37+ downgrade has been in development for about 2 months now.. Taking way to long
Probably waiting to see which bootloaders are unlocked, as promised.

If u are S-OFF then u can downgrade to 2.36 by using the RUU version then root ur device,
edit:- i´ve done it more than 3times after updating from 2.36 to 2.50 "OTA" (believe me u can)
U can get the 2.36 ruu here:-

Thanks a lot ,,, Guide from JSLEnterprises was so amazing and very helpful

Edit:
DONE!
DHD is now rooted with Radio and ENG S-OFF.
Thank you so much.
Now moving on to flash another rom, and try and figure the whole fing about the radio out..
I successfully downgraded and rooted my desire hd 2.42.415 at last. Thanks a million JSLEnterprises. You are awesome
Trivial Question
I have a trivial question, I am very interested in rooting using this method, however I have recently encountered an issue with my stock rom ever since I did the OTA update to 2.43.611.1 The issue is HTC Sence has stopped unexpectedly window pops up quite often & in talking to telus my provider & HTC them selves, they both say the phone needs to be repaired,
My question since I encountered the problem immediatly upon doing the OTA update should I get it repaired first or just try rooting to see if that fixes it.
Also if possible can I be pointed in the direction of how to return to stock Telus if I end up rooting & the probelm still persists?
My thanks to thoes who have diligently be working & involved in helping others & myself reach root status on higher Build numbers.
Great Work!

The reason you're getting the error after the ota update is the same reason why people get issues after installing custom roms and not wiping their device... the old cache and user data conflicts with the update.
Downgrading and then flashing a custom rom along with flashing an updated radio will remedy the problem. I dont believe you'll want to use the initial radio release, I highly recommend flashing the radio from the 2.52 korean release to your Telus DHD, along with the ril's from that release and replacing the ones in the rom you will flash via cwm recovery. ENG S-OFF is required to flash a new radio or recovery img.
Once you downgrade, you can always return to the stock 2.43.661.1 rom. There is a thread in the Desire HD/Inspire 4G Forum on Driphter.com where I've placed the RUU's of common builds (especially for Telus and AT&T). If returning the device for warranty purposes, you must Radio S-On prior to Installing the stock rom via the RUU. The RUU Itself will set ENG to SHIP, and unroot.
Excellent, Greatly appreciated.
Might try rooting as soon as tonight. Kind of excited to have a functional device again!
I am glad that it worked, i thought OH **** the other day, when i found out that i shouldn't have updated to 2.50, if i was about to root..
Big thanks to you JSL, nice work, and easy tuturial!!
I can see that in /HTC ACE TOOLKIT
is a splash screen changer, and a boot animation changer.. how do i use them?
Cheers guys I will try that downgrade guide. Just a note though. The file fize of the version of HTC Sync for the Desire HD I'm downloading is 66.6MB. I hope that isn't an omen for this to go horrendously wrong

Hi, I'm a little lost on the site here..
I have been reading up on rooting my DHD and to be honest i dont know if its possible, if it can what rom do i use and what tools..
Andriod Version 2.3.3
HTC sense version 2.1
Software Number 2.50.405.2
Any help & advise would be great.
Thanks
It is possible. Everything you need is in my signature
So downgrade first, then do Radio S-OFF and optionally ENG S-OFF. Then follow the instructions in Radio S-OFF thread (first post) to flash ClockworkMod and finally a ROM.
ENG S-OFF can be done later, too, so you do not really need to worry about it at this point.
I would recommend Android Revolution HD because it is the most popular ROM for Desire HD.
Thank you very much for the quick response ill get to doing it now
After downgrading you can use this guide (Its by the previous gentlemen as well)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769
I also recommend Android Revolution HD
Just to confirm I downgraded and rooted yesterday using these guides. Was simple and a brilliant help couldn't have done it without them.

Nope I don't think its possible due to having to place the downgrade zip file on the SD card, and then there is the fact that if its branded you will have to make a goldcard.
Yes I am new to this myself so I apologize if i am wrong but just wanted to try and help you out.

Also think its not possible, after all if there was a way it would be in the guide (a safe way at least). You should wait for your card to arrive and maybe try and get a second card in case you need to make a gold card.

Even temp-root will do just fine for me...
I don't want to downgrade my ROM, I don't want custom ROM... I don't even need a custom recovery installed.

What about Advanced Ace Hack Kit (AAHK)? You can Google for it; it's not posted here. You could also go to the thread in my signature for some beginner guides.
Super one click only works when you are already S-OFF. Use the advanced ace hack kit.

does downgrade means going back to 2.3.3?
Hi guys,
I´ve got a stock Desire with Android 2.2.2. (OTA update some two years ago). Some days ago I noticed my camera was not working nor did the flashlight app. After turning off and on the device a couple of times the flashlight started working again but not the camera. Trying to fix what I thought might be a software problem I went into Hboot menu and into recovery and selected reboot. Nothing seemed to have changed until i noticed my battery was only lasting for 4 or 5 hours when it used to last at least 1,5 days. Also, I just noticed my 3G mobile network connection is not working either.
How may I correct this? I've already tried a factory reset but without success. I was just looking at an youtube video from a XDA member about flashing RUU's and thought that it might do it. Is there a difference between flashing a RUU and a factory reset? I'm not very confortable doing it as I've never rooted or flashed any device, but I'm willing to take the chance...
Thanks for your support...
Flashing a ruu is basically reinstalling the stock firmware. Factory resetting is just wiping the data on the phone.
If you want to flash a ruu, check my sig. Download the 2.3 ruu. Don't change the zip name. Take the zip and put it on the root of your sd-card, and boot in hboot. Then select "yes" and wait.
This will upgrade your firmware to Android 2.3.3, which is faster than froyo, but it will wipe all your internal data.
merante ridicule
Thank you for your reply.
Now it´s clearer to me. Factory reset doesn't correct any system issues.
I already found the RUU i currently have on my phone, but maybe I could upgrade to 2.3. Does the RUU in your sig work for my Desire?
My data are:
Andriod version: 2.2.2.
Baseband: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel: 2.6.32.15-gfa401c
Software number: 2.29.405.14
Just a small update concerning the battery issue: it seems to be the battery itself which is the problem. I installed a new one last night and now battery behaviour is back to normal. I will try the old one again though, in order to be sure it's gone.
The ruu in my sig works for your desire. It actually works for almost every Bravo on the market.
Thank you once again.
I just managed to correct my 3G problem also. I didn't restore the network definitions after the factory reset (didn't know I had to or how it is done ), but after a quick call to tech support it is fixed.
Now I will probably give the RUU update a try and also root and s-off (must resaerch a little more - XDA forum has tones of good info :good...
In my sig, there's a Desire All Root guide. Check it out.

Hi, some developments and more help needed
Followed the guides above and now my Desire is rooted, s-offed using revolutionary and 4ext recovery is installed and I've partitioned my new 32 GB sdcard with 2GB ext4. Sadly, I've not updated to android 2.3.3 with the PB99IMG RUU, so I'm still with the 2.2.2.
But, even after sd partition, my available internal memory has not increased. What do I have to do to install all new apps on the sd?
If I update now for 2.3.3. using PB99IMG will I lose root and s-off? If I have to flash a new rom, which do you suggest? I'm used to the stock htc sense and don't really want to upgrade unless I have to.
I would really appreciate any suggestions...
Tks.
Don't use the RUU. You will lose root and s-off. Just install a custom rom, and your storage will increase.
