Root methods

Hi there, with the Desire about to launch on Telus in Canada, two questions:
1) If you've already gotten the 2.2 update - does the UnrEVOked root method still work?
2) Has the "exploid" root method been applied to the Desire as well (as it has with Nexus One, Droid X, and many many other phones)? If so is it working on the 2.2 update?
No, nothing works yet.
Ok. And how about if the Telus Desire comes with a rootable 2.1... is there a way to upgrade to a pre-rooted Desire 2.2 that is otherwise identical to HTC's version of 2.2?

if your desire comes with a hboot of 0.75 or 0.80 you can root, if it comes with froyo and the new hboot 0.92 it cant be rooted yet obviously if you can root it, you will have no trouble upgrading to one of the modded official froyo roms that are pre rooted and have the new hboot removed
hi guys
since i updated my desire i cannot access root does any one have solution
for this problam.thxx
Good to know!
Is there any sense as to whether a Desire ROM from one region will work on a phone from another that comes with different 3G frequencies? I know this causes problems with the Milestone, but it isn't an issue with the Nexus One.
A HowardForums member reports that the Telus Desire comes with:
kernel:
2.6.29-e5576724
Build Number:
1.29.661.1
2.1Update1
No root reports yet, but would any problems be anticipated based on this info?

[Q] Do I have Stock HTC DHD ROM?

Hi
I recently flashed my DHD with what I believe was the Stock HTC ROM.
However, I got to thinking, how do I know it was the stock ROM? I got it from a link in a forum post (can't find it now) would like to confirm that this is the stock HTC ROM.
I have nothing against custom ROMS, but I specifically want the stock ROM experience for a while.
This is what I have:
Android Version: 2.2.1
Build number: 1.72.405.3 CL296490 release-keys
Software number: 1.72.405.3
Can anyone tell if this is the stock ROM?

If you don't have root and the recovery shows S-ON then you should be on stock ROM.
1st number is the main build 2nd set are for uptates and patches (eg bugfixes and so on) 3rd set are the carried id. 405 is generic htc.

htc has stop the OTA for 2.2.1 with build 1.72 because of several issue.
so your desire HD will stuck on that build, until there is a release version of it.
But there are also some other user get the new build 1.83 update recently, but only a few (maybe from selected region only).
but, it you really want the 2.2.1 (or gingerbread 2.3) , you can flash custom rom available here (at Development thread) e.g: Android Revolution HD, LeeDroid or CM7, better than stock rom.

Have you even searched the forum in Desire HD development?
Try this, we inject clockwormod recovery without rooting first. Then you can use to install a new rom.

You have to downgrade first or use GingerBreak in order to root.
Basically, you can just follow this guide.

[Q] Downgrading from 4.0.4

hi. ive recently got the htc desire z with 4.0.4 android on it. i want to downgrade ir to original 2.3.3, what should i do?
the info on the phone:
baseband: 12.28b.60. 140eU_26.03.02.26_m
Kernel: 3.0.43+ [email protected]#1
build:cm_vision- userdebug 4.0.4 IMM76L eng. jermie.20121003.133103 test-key
Ive flashe and rooted samsung devices ok, but this is completely new for me, maybe someone could guide me through the process of returning to official rom. thank you
If it came with 4.0.4 then it's probably already rooted since ics was never released for the desire z.
