Hello Everybody,
Am totally new for the Android and i just received my HTC Desire HD 2 days ago
i spent these 2 days navigating the web trying to collect as much knowledge about my new phone
i became interested about Rooting topics ... even though i did not found a full simple guide to do it on my Desire HD
can i root my Desire HD or not? based on the details below
The phone is Branded to Vodafone UK
Android Ver.
2.2.1
Baseband Ver.
12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2
Software No.
1.75.161.2
if yes, could you please provide me with some kind of detailed specific guide to do it with the required software links
if no, why? and what specifically should i wait for?
sorry guys for talking so much
but as i mentioned above am totally new in Android...
Thanks a lot in Advance
Best Regards,

You can't root on 2.2.1 without S-OFF (to have S-OFF U must have a root). We must wait for solution.

[Q] need help please

hi everybody,
i am new with android i have HTC desire HD when i got it it was 1 month old so it was installed CM7 but because i dont like devices with non original software so i ask someone expert to instal for me the original rom with HTC sense the one which come from factory with desire HD(i know that CM7 maybe is better version and includes new features but i like HTC sense...)
so now i have in software information
android version 2.3.3
HTC sense version 2.1
is that the right one or no??
and if yes is it the latest version from HTC for desire HD (of course i mean the officiel rom) because if i go to settings/software updates/check now it says: there are no updates for your phone.
do i can upgrade my htc sense to the newer version than the one i have? i know that sense 3.0 is not officiel for DHD so are there earlier versions which can be installed on my device or if the sense 3.0 is good can i installed too??
thanks a lot for your help and thanks a lot for the people working day and night to make this forum helpful for us.

Mmm well i'm sure about there's some videos for do it and also guides... Now i'm not in my house i cant provide link...maybe later ,
But i'm deducing,because u have cm 7,that you have your phone already rooted and with CWM recovery installed true? If not browse for "HOW TO ROOT HTC DESIRE HDX" in the xda browser and read it... Its the firt step

thanks for your support and help and fast answers.
sorry but i am completly new with this things so i dont know what that means rooted and how to do all this things so i need help step by step if you dont mind thank you very much really

okay... the first step that u need to learn and do its
1- if your current version of android its upper than 1.32xx u need to do DOWNGRADE
2-then u need to do ROOT for obtain superuser permissions for total acces to your handset (like any Linux OS)
3-install the CLOCKWORK MOD recovery
4-do RADIO S-OFF & ENG S-OFF + SUPERCID (CID 1111111)if u want to flash any baseband, or another rom diferent of your carrier etc... this step it´s needed..
this 4 steps are in this thread... read and familiarizate with the concepts before flashing....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076
when u did it u can start to select custom roms, kernels etc...

PD: feel free to post your doubts...

thank you a lot you are helpful
i will try to learn that.thanks

[Q] How to root HTC desire HD ver 2.3.3... ? NEED HELP.. !!

Hii guys..
I am new to this forum.
I need to root my HTC DESIRE HD (gingerbread), with s/w number 2.37.720.3.
But I have learnt from many other sites and other threads in this forum that
Desire HD must be downgraded first.
There are ways to downgrade for s/w number 2.36.XX.X, but couldn't find any for 2.37.
Hope some one kind enough could help me out.
Thanks in advance guys..
Regards,
K.Sagar.

I am afraid you are stuck without root my friend, you cannot temp root 2.37 with gingerbreak and hence downgrade is impossible at present. I guess you will have to wait for HTC to open their bootloaders and then flash a custom rom with root in it.
When HTC will open DHD bootloader... only time will tell.

Thanks for the info dude..

hmm that's not a pleasant news...If I knew that I'd never go for gingerbread update. I do get htc sense error frequently. That's really annoying. so any way I'm positive that the xda pro will come up with solution.
Cheers

Hmm, I reckon someone will figure this out.
Soon, I hope!

Hope you guys at XDA will figure it out... Please find out a solution...
Thank you guys in advance..
Really awaiting a solution..

Yups, guess we all would like to know when HTC opens it's DHD bootloader ...

So did any1 find a way to root 2.37.720.3??? I m pissed with tjis stock rom...vry unstable...wifi conntection drops...no update in india ((

Yes,it can.just follow exactly the 9 steps

Hi All,
Just wondering if there is already a way to root 2.37, I can't seem to find any update on this.

Link was given 4 posts back?? Or use ACE Hack Kit on the forum.

Thanks, another question I have 2.37.707.4 is this considered a branded phone?

try this for downgrading

I would love to root my DHD but I have no space memory cards or anything and I am a bit of a dumb blonde too but I guess I will just have to leave it with what I got

Go get yourself a SD card and use the method posted above

Not sure what you mean but if you want to DOWNGRADE and root your device just follow these guides and you should be fine:
1. Downgrade

2. Root + Rom installation

[Q] Downgrade from 2.42.405.2

Hi all. Yesterday i updated to gingerbread ... now my "desire z" info says:
Android version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense version: 2.1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.10-g7b95729
Build number: 2.42.405.2 CL84109 release keys
Software number: 2.42.405.2
Browser version: WebKit/533.1
so as far as i know there isnt any way to downgrade that - is it true?
correct me if im wrong but downgrade for me is needed in case i want to root/s-off my phone and install some new roms (with better look and funcionality) - do i get it right?
i updated my phone just because i thought the senseUI will be updated too but i was a fool - i thought desire Z is a good phone and they will continue to support one of the best touch and type phones...

no one is lynching you, he posted a link that states it cannot be downgraded which confirms your original question: you cannot downgrade yet and are stuck with the 2.42 update for the time being.

If you want root, you shouldn't have accepted the OTA undate. There is a pre-rooted version in the Development section. But you're pretty much hosed, no way to downgrade or root the new update, until somebody figures out a way.

In the future ask questions first and install updates second
