There is no "safe" way to root. All have some (more or less) risks.

Rooting HD
I used this guide. I didn't flash the radio, and have flashed many ROMS since completing the guide without any problems. Mine went smoothly. Just read it a few times before you proceed.

No it does not delete your user data. And about video tutorial, I think it's pretty much unnecessary given the fact that it involves downloading visionary and selecting temproot option and then permroot. That's if you are running a 1.32 ROM. If you have 1.72 then you have to downgrade first.

The guides in the Desire HD Development section make it very hard to get anything wrong. Super easy to follow even for the non tech-minded. Just read and re-read everything until it's clear in your head
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

If you are on 1.32 you can straight run Visionary, temproot first, then permroot, then http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403 great tools by jkoljo, make sure you buy him a beer,

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.

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.
ok i need a little help im new to HTC coming from samsung i have knowledge of rooting and flashing and such but i seem to be going in circles trying to obtain root. I am currently running 2.2 Froyo, I have read quite a bit on here but not sure of best method to use any input would be appreciated.
I will presume that you own a G2 / Desire Z. Go to my minus.com profile(link is in my signature) and download the pdf corresponding to your phone and the skip the downgrading part of the guide and jump to rooting. Just follow it and you'll be rooted and s-off.
