Yes that is the right guide to do a perm Root. Also what rom version is the Desire Z on? If it's on the 1.72 or 1.82 you will have to downgrade to 1.34 before you can root.
ROOT USING THIS GUIDE
If your on 1.72 or 1.82 DOWNGRADE USING THIS GUIDE.This downgrade will work for the 1.82 version, even though its for the 1.72
thank you guys for all your help I did it
Now the only thing is to choose very stable and working rom ?
Could you recommend any?
Thank you

For me stability is important, so is minimizing the number of times I have to wipe my device. So I avoid pre-release ROMs including RC's so I'm running the stock rooted ROM right now but anticipate moving to CM7 as soon as it's released and verified as stable.

[HELP] Change Language

Hello,
I bought a HTC Desire from Taiwan(China) and would like to change the OS to Swedish (Nordic).
I have tried Morelocale2 but it doesnt work, I figure there is no SWEDISH-ROM or settings for it inside the current STOCK-ROM.
Anyone have the ROM with Swedish?
Or anyone know any other ways to get my phone blonde and blue eyed(Swedish)?
Thanks All ! I do appreciate it!
Root it, install a custom rom and morelocale will work
which custom ROM do I need ?

Anyone will do. On the Stickies (dev section) you will find the desire index. There is the list with all the custom roms. Since you are a beginner , I would recommend leedroid no-a2sd (froyo version is more stable than gingerbread).
In the stickies you will also find a noob proof video tutorial with instructions

Root. You have to root to install a custom rom.

Do step 2, 3, read 6 and do 7.
I did or I tried, on step 3 the revoked program tells me connection interrupted. What to do? My hboot version is 0.93. 0001 does that make a difference?
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
Make sure you have the hboot drivers installed, the usb is properly connected and retry
Yes, root first.
And, you can only mod CID inside you phone. It can change language.

You should try GB with Insertcoin 1.0.1 experience, it's like you have a new phone
For that you must s-off your phone.

Thank you all ! It worked out fine, and thanks from my sister too since it's her phone !
make sure you backup your phone after you root it
that way you can go back if your new rom stops working or hangs

Well if they say, you can't then you probably can't this time. Also in other threads were updates - people are working on it. It will be on the forums, when root is available.
thanks alot
You have to wait either for HTC to release their boot unlocker or someone else who manage to root it. It's a race. Wonder who will faster.

aren't there rooted stock GB roms in development section? maybe you should ask developers how did they do it?
Here's an idea, search before making a new thread. Its right there in the rules of these fora. There are multiple threads about this subject already. If you can type then you can read, right?

You do read that its not about rooting an ordenary gingerbread device, right?
After HTC released the official upgrade to 2.3.3 alot of eager smartphone users have left their cooked 2.3.x rooted devices stranded on the upgraded 2.3.3.
As did I. Now I am too looking for a solution to get back to the much better 2.3.x rooted version gingerbread that I had before.
I understand threadstarters frustration. Maybe so should you instead of flaming?
Have a nice day...
EDIT: just found the other thread about downgrading to bootloader 0.93. But still think a decent reply to a kind would be nice, eventhough there are other threads about same topic.
Yes and as we all said there are already multiple threads about this exact subject. I understand that the thread starter is frustrated but there are others with the same problem already. Thats why you're meant to search before posting new threads, because there are already threads covering this topic.

This can be done.
I s-off and rooted my desire running official gingerbread today.
You need this tool from revolutionary.io (sorry I cant post links yet)
It was quite easy (after finding a guide on google).
I needed to root so I could updated the radio and have 2 way call recording, it's working perfectly. Well happy

[Q] *noob* How do i update my DHD to sense 4.0/4.1?

Hey guys,
I have Desire HD for like a year I guess, and I have never tried to update stuff and jailbreak (root) it or anything..
After a long time I feel that I need to have a little refreshment for my phone and do something with it.
A friend told me that if I would update it to Sense 4 it will be just great.
and thats what i want to do, to update my phone to Sense 4.
I dont want any other ROMs that people made, just the normal HTC Sense 4.0/4.1
Can you guys help me out and tell me how can I do that?
BTW. current sense version is like 2.1 or something.
Thanks, Ori.
Sure. You'll need to buy another htc phone to get what you want.
Any rom you find here will be ported from another device. The most you'll be able to get from your carrier/htc is sense 3.0, go over to the website, download the ruu, follow the instructions.

Well, first you need to root. Read the PDF guide in post #7 of the Ace Think Tank thread for detailed instructions. After you do that, Venom DHD will work for your phone, as will all ROMs in the DHD and Inspire 4G forums.

I strongly advise that you do not use a video. AAHK comes with an extremely clear, detailed manual; if you read it thoroughly and make sure you understand it, you won't have any problems at all.

i second that. i cannot stress the importance of thoroughly reading the 'effen maunel'.
there is no 'official' htc provided ics and sense 4/.1 rom for the htc desire hd. however, developers have managed to port these roms from other devices, as well as includeing additional features. the aahk will make your phone rooted and s-off. if you are on android 2.3.5(and maybe others, in not sure) it will run twice, first to downgrade the software, and then to root and s-off.
personally, my favourite sense 4.1 rom is sabsa prime(very very stable and some nice additional functionality).
it's probably a good idea to read a bit about how to use a custom recovery and flash roms etc
have fun! :good:

Hi Swarnava, I just rooted using AAHK2 by Phiber2000, it was a piece of cake!

I'm still looking at what to do next, but followed advice in the same thread to install the TWRP recovery. This seems easy to use and i'm about to install my first ROM. Wish me luck, eh?!
