Right now you don't, hopefully a new exploit will be forthcoming, our you may have to wait until HTC released an unlocked bootloader.

Here's some threads you could have used instead of starting a new one:

Not sure if anyone is, the exploit is there in the older ROM and no real benefit's from running the newer stock ROM's so not sure there is a huge call for a new root exploit, especially as if you have S-OFF and Radio S-OFF you can downgrade, root and upgrade to 1.72/1.75 whilst maintaining root so seems like a lot of work for little advantage
Downgrade & root, atm its the only way, and I think will be the only one.

Sorry, chum devs have got better things to do than spend weeks looking for a new exploit because some users are too lazy to downgrade. Really it isn't going to happen so bite the bullet and downgrade.

Use the downgrade guide in dev subforum, it is a sticky. Then you can use Visionary, and the tools in my signature.

You can try superonklick to gain shell root, and then try to perm root

Any news here? I'm totally frustrated, want to root the DHD but with this version it seems impossible...

Can you tell us how? Because this software version seems to have patched the exploit used to gain root.
I tried to do it using zergRush exploit and it did not work.
same here...
Any way to downgrade to sense 2.1?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I have the same issue. I could not find any ROM that really made me want to root my DHD until the ICS, but I just accepted the OTA for 2.3.5 few weeks ago.
Did anybody try this?

"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?

don't know... but do giv it a try !!!
otherwise u can go for ARHD 6.3.1 ... it uses 2.3.5 and sense 3.0 .. and is exactly same as the official rom ... with some performance enhancements ... GUI is the same ...
The official update to sense 3.0 has patches to remove root so if you want to keep root, don't update

Yes i lost root anytime i went back to stock.
thanks guys, thats what i thought too, just wanted confirmation.
i love this site sooooo much, never been let down, xda NUMBER ONE SITE!
since I posted I ended up going stock 2.3.3 during the temp root process I ended up some how having a permanent root no joke. Even after a battery pull I still had root. Not sure how it worked or what I did but strange! I have witnesses to vouch.

[Q] Mode ID incorrect, update Fail!

Hi,
My phone is routed to IceColdSandwitch with Android 4.0.4, but I do not like it and I want to go back to Android 2.3.
I am using ACE PVT END S-OFF for the flashing process. I downloaded 2 ROMs
but both of them do not work:
RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.0 6.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe
(Thought this should be for the HTC Desire HD on T-mobile UK but did not work)
and I also downloaded from the official HTC Desire HD page the ROM-Upgrade HTC Media Link ROM Update for HTC Desire HD (1.11.0.0)
Here I got the following error message: MOdel ID incorrect, Update Fail!
Anyone an idea what is going wrong? Could anyone point me out which is the right ROM to use for this phone?
Many thanks!

Whatever is easier, I am sure this is the unrooted version, so I would be happy
with this one. I am on T-Mobile in the UK if this makes any difference.
Thanks!
I was looking on htcdev[DOT]com, as apparantely there should be the
official Android 2.3 gingerbread ROM for the HTC Desires to download, but
I can't located it there anymore.
Anyone an idea where they have shifted this stuff in the meantime?
Thanks!

Buddy, the BRAVO is the HTC Desire not the Desire HD...that is why the update is failing....you have to find a RUU for your phone...the code version for your device is ACE as is for the Inspire 4G. If you are S-OFF, then find a custom rom u like, flash it and once your phone is working, then look for a RUU suitable for your phone...

Thanks Glevitan, I am looking for the whole day now for any working ROM, it is just so painful...
aosp-ace-signed is the only thing I found, seems to be a beta version, and quite rubbish as WIFI is not working. I just want to have an official Android 2.3 OS for this phone, is that nowhere available? I just do not get it ....

It based on official RUU sense 3 and android 2.3.5
