Try UnrEVOked. If it works you can then just flash a pre-rooted Froyo.

Hu now ive just read -
An O2 spokesman told techradar.com: "We're working with HTC to bring the latest version of Android 2.2 Froyo to our HTC Desire customers as soon as possible. We expect this to take several weeks and we will update our customers once the new software is available."
Dont know what to believe DAMN

Sounds like a badly-informed customer service guy to me.

Dude don't worry, 2.2 will come to o2. Most people working for these mobile phone companies don't know anything that isn't on a script. In my experience its not even worth asking, they didn't even know what the Desire was a few days before its release.

[Q] How do I root my DHD? (2.50.45.2)

Hey, I´ve used the search tool, but couldn´t find anything.
I would like to Root my HTC Desire HD, so I can Install the new Android Revolution 6.x (Android 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 )
My Phone is currently running:
Android 2.3.3
Sense 2.1
Baseband Version 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel Version 2.6.35.10
Build Number 2.50.405.2
Software Number 2.50.405.2
My Phone has no branding!
Is rooting possible for me?
Can Someone please help me?
I am totaly new to rooting, so I would appreciate a step by step tutorial.

That makes two of looking for the same information, any help out there please

YES rooting is possible.
I rooted my Dhd about two weeks ago and all went well.
I spent about a week reading lots of different sites. All using different methods in the end I used a guide on driphter.com
Forum > Everything Android > HTC Desire HD/Inspire 4G > General Discussion > [GUIDE] Downgrade, Root, Radio & Eng S-OFF DHD/Inspire 4G in 9 Steps
if your unbranded you can skip the goldcard step.
i also had to download the PD98IMG using my phone and move it to the root (not in any folder) of the sd card using astro
the only other step i changed was to install visionary+ from blackmart alpha (google it. Its a blackmarket market) the install from the toolkit didn't work for me.
JSL is very good/quick to answer questions on that fourm.
Hope this helps.

What do I need S-Off for?
What does it do?
Thanks for the Help, Ill try it out...
(I hope I dont brick my phone)

You need s-off to flash new roms its an added security HTC add.
I think it stands for security off but i'm not 100% sure if anyone wants to correct me/let mr know please do.

I can´t download the ToolKit
Something seems to be wrong with the .zip file...

Could it be your Antivirus is killing the download? check to see if it is being held in Quarantine.
Take Care

You got 3 options wait for official unlocked bootloader, buy xtc-clip, or find an unlock shop, because no one here is gonna help you. Me personally i'm taking my phone to unlock shop soon, if and when I do get unlocked I will do my best to help everyone.
This phone has a lot of potential and theres alot of developers out there that would love to have this phone, unfortunately locked bootloader is a major factor in there decisions. The sooner we get unlocked the better.

I don't have this phone myself but my girlfriend got it yesterday so it's kinda like a new toy for me too. I might have to convince her to get it S-off'd at a local unlocking shop so I can tinker with it
It's shame there's no unlocked bootloader for it though... I bet HTC would sell a lot more units if they didn't lock them.

[Q] "Noob" Root Question

So, I was just wondering if someone could explain this 'S-ON' and 'S-OFF' thing.
I think I have seen that you want S-OFF due to warranty and stuff, but I don't really understand what it is?
Thanks

I'm quite a noob to but it has something to do with WHAT you can acces. S-ON means you can only install roms and that's it.
S-OFF you can install new radio's and tweak the device a lot more!
Since we are both noobs I think that's all we need to know ;-)! S-OFF won't be possible through HTCDEV, you need a community build unlocker for that!

[Q] Rooting HTC Desire HD

Hi All,
I am a noob or atleast newly registered to XDA but have resolved many issues over the years with your help so thank you very much for all your past help.
I have recently rooted my old htc desire without a blip, then dropped it and no amount of XDA help will resolve that issue, more rubbled than bricked...
I have an HTC Desire HD tied to orange that I want to root and flash Jellybean ROM (open to suggestion of a better ROM). Every step by step or guide I have found in a few hours of searching tells me to use AAHK but all links on all sites to the download result in a 'page no longer available' or redirect but not to a download page
I am nowhere close to truly understanding the technical side of rooting, I have a lot of respect for those that do, but I can follow directions. Without the actual software the directions don't lead anywhere so I'm at a frustrating stand still. Any help anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.
I see people usually list some system info so here is mine
HTC Desire HD
Android 2.3.5
Sense 3.0
Kernel 2.6.35.10-g931a37e
[email protected] #1
build number 3.12.405.1 CL199157 release-keys
If anymore info is required I will get it on here asap and thanks for any help you give me, cheers

Post #7 of the Ace Think Tank thread linked in my signature. It has instructions for rooting, including a link to AAHK.

Lol.... I needed that. Been in a bad mood for nearly a week. I managed to refrain from replying a few posts today.
Sent from a dream.

sorry for the newbie question but ive little to no idea when it comes to this sort of thing.
my contract is up on my HD which is on Orange network & im now wanting to put it onto Tesco & after trying the sim inside the phone it will no longer take either sim & is saying ""SIM network locked please contact customer care"" so do i need to root the phone for this to work & will it also debrand it as i no longer want the orange crap on it anymore.
thanks. for any advice :good:

I know AAHK does SIM unlock as part of the process. Then you can flash an unbranded ROM.

thank you for the quick reply..
so if i do the AAHK i should get it to accept the Tesco card at least.? that's the main thing i'd like to unbrand it but its not really an issue as long as i can get it to work on tescos network..
i paid for it unlocking today & sent off my IMEI number but they emailed me saying it can not be unlocked..?
thanks.

Even if a phone is SIM unlocked, I believe the carrier can still lock the SIM card. So whether you can use the Tesco card is up to them.
