Hi Fellow Xda-ers,
I am new here and have been browsing thr forums for a few weeks, and its this place that made me get the dhd.
Any who i got the handset two days ago, Its on contract, Locked to Orange Uk, Running Android 2.3.3 with a software number of: 2.37.61.11.
Now i have been looking around the forums and scratching my head for ages trying to find out if i am able to:
1.) Root
2.) DownGrade
3.) Flash custom roms.
Any advise is appreciated,
Thanks.
I'm sorry pal, build 2.37 can't downgrade yet, so you can't root. Our fellow modders are working on a workaround with no success yet.

Yes. If you are married or have a partner spend the time with them now because when they work out the fix for 2.37 you will only have eyes for your DHD
Lmao true true. So no nodding what so ever ? Lol

gratz enjoy ur phone as we should be able to enjoy it i've been soo happy with mine since I unlocked/changed room
Hi. I ve dhd. It's s-off with build number 2.37 running gingerbread 2.3.3. So my question can I downgrade without having to temproot first cuz its s-off..
Desperately waiting for ur answer
Im afraid not, if you are on contract do what i did, Call your provider tell them its stuck in a bootloop due to a failed ota rom update, and they will replace the phone for you, well maybe, Orange UK did, i called in 7.30pm and received the phone next morning.
Then that way you "may" get a phone that has not been updated, the replacement i got was on 2.1 :0)

Hello,
I am willing to offer someone 20USD if they can tell me how to fix my HTC desire. I was running on a Asia ROM which was upgraded to a Euro one so i could update. Upon updating to 2.2 I have no wifi, or SD and "process system" keeps crashing
The details of the phone are:
Model A8181
OS: 2.2 (from OTA)
Baseband: 32.36.00.28U_406.00.02_2
Kernel: 2.6.29-0cb9f166
Build is 2.09.405.8
Please Help Me.
You need to flash the newest radio, should fix all your problems.
You're using a radio from eclair (2.1).

With the 2.2 ota, im not sure if there is a way to downgrade, as I read one of the devs accidentally upgraded to an OTA release. This is due to the bootloader being updated to one that hasnt been hacked yet.
My 2 cents is hold tight and hope one of the devs figures a way to downgrade, that way you could install a custom 2.2 which doesnt have these issues.
Good luck, sorry i couldnt be of much use :/
EDIT- i completely missed that flakz0r lol, can it still be flashed through recovery if he used a 2.2 OTA update? if so http://android.adamg.co.uk/bravo/radio/32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.zip
you still have the older 2.6.29 kernel too
flash the radio to the latest and flash one of the 101 roms people are releasing based on the new ota 2.2 as that should update your kernel

Did you download the ota update, or have you got root and installed one of roms on this forum? If it's ota I dont see how your radio can be the one you've stated. If it's a rom from the forum flash the new radio 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.zip
I dont know, but it should be possible. Also, the official OTA update comes with the new radio, so i dont understand how he was able to update the rom but not the radio. That is assuming he isnt rooted, of course.

Yeah, you just need the radio. Put it on your sdcard and flash it like you flashed the rom. Dont touch your phone, let it work, takes a while.
so....who got the 20 dollars?
lol i think it should be falkz0r he was the first to provide a solution...
btw...he managed to go from asian to european version through goldcard and the RUU file. Done that to my previous Hero too.

Hi all,
I follow the instructions in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152233 from CuBz90
But still not working in Desire HD with builed number 2.42.415.1
I try many times but I unfortunately failed..
Please help..
it wont work with 2.42...........
downgrading 2.42 is not yet found.........
we must hav to wait........
Thanks man i just wanted to know if it will work on my 2.42.... .
Hello,
I think it should works. This is using the Goldcard method. The goldcard is a general method which should not be dependent on the phone version !
With goldcard you can install other OFFICIAL stock roms.
In the field of Android custom ROMs, what a Gold Card does is letting you install ROMs on your Android device that aren’t intended for your carrier. For example, if you have a T-Mobile USA HTC Desire, you can install an official ROM intended for the O2 UK HTC Desire, or even a generic ROM that isn’t locked to a carrier. It does so by disabling the CID (Carrier ID) check that the device does when installing a ROM.

i think its about the software version,couldn't go back without temp root,and as long as we couldnt found a 2.42.415.1 or later rom with root bug like 2.37 softbank rom ,we couldn't reach any where

Using the goldcard doesn't need any root permissions. It is a htc way to use other official stock roms. First you try to downgrade to official stock rom 1.32.405.6 then try to root this version.

but what do u think about going to the latest 2.50 ?
no way...am not going to update......the we have to wait again for downgrading 2.50.............
I will downgrade my 2.42 wen it comes.......
It will be great if we downgrade this week itself..........

thanks all for reply ..
The waiting answer is not enough for me and the others , unless some one tell us if they works on it to figure out how to solve the root issue
thanks to all members in this forum specially the supportive peoples who give us that hope.
Am Still waiting since along time.. for a hope
i agree with you ,knowing someone is working on it is good and hopefull.

I can't believe people still believe in that developer-not-official bull****. It was marked as a "developer version" only because it's available only as a RUU. And everything that was released by HTC is official.

i agree the gb ruu is official..but they released gb only to say "we released the gb update as u wished"..no more updates on that will come..is like a discontinued version...infact now they are releasing an ota that is going to patch the last official rom for the desire: froyo
Which will be most probably the last version as well.

"Works on HTC DESIRE HD 2.3.5 - OTA UPDATE3.12.405.1 THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Got the same problem over here. I had an unbranded phone but my 3.5mm jack was corrupted (i guess just dirty or some wear on the pins) so they replaced my entire motherboard.
Guess what, they installed this vodafone-branded ROM and now im stuck with this stupid device only for a corrupted jack slot.
3.13.161.3? i dont know this base which country?
Vodafone has put it on my DHD this afternoon after a repair. Its a dutch store but maybe its vodafone-widely spreaded and then i guess its in germany too. I dont know other countries they use this ROM.
But im gonna hope the guys there will put an unbranded ROM on it. Or else it won't be a happy year for them.
Htc supertool worked for me!
I'm on 3.12.405.1 (also Sense3) .. but my phone was already Ship S-off first (from trying CM7 back in june).
Now it's time for ARHD or RCMix3d - yiiiipeeedeee!
doesn't work with 3.13.161.3, has anybody some more ideas?
