I've just bought a Desire Z, but it run 1.82 firmware... I seen some guides about rooting and downgrading but they don't talk about 1.82 firmware but just about 1.72 . How can I root it and flash a recovery??
Thanks in advice
Follow the same guide as 1.72, that should work.

If I downgrade my HBOOT from 0.92 to 0.80 and root it and install Clockmodrecovery.
Can I download the original HTC Froyo ROM from the sticky thread with official RUU ROM's and flash it?
No. You don't root a bootloader. If you install the official ROM, it will remove root.
Okay thanks.
I see you're looking after the same as me, take a look in this thread. It's the official 2.2 rom with root access
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775
That is a custom ROM, not the official/stock ROM (it's just very similar).
Just a question (maybe a stupid one, but i'm totally a noob with android)
I have a IT Fastweb branded desire, with hboot 0.75
I rooted it using unrevoked, flashing amonra recovery
Then i flashed a rooted stok froyo rom
Unfortunately i forgot to do a nandroid backup before flashing the froyo rom
The question is, can i downgrade to stock situation (branded eclair) just running the Fastweb RUU???
I'm reading the downgrade guide and i can't understand if i need all that work...
Thanks in advance
If it's the same version that came with the phone originally then yes, or with any releases since the original
Good.
Thank-you very much!

Hi,
I am newbie in this forum
I just bought Desire Z in Hongkong. It has been updated to 1.84.708.1 before I start join this forum.
I want to root it, but after searching many times I cannot find the links or references to root this stock rom version.
What I found is that in order to root, we have to downgrade the software (stockrom) first. However, the quides only provides procedures to downgrade from 1.72 to 1.34.
My questions:
-Can I root (without firstly downgrade it)?
-If I have to downgrade, can I use/apply the procedures applied for downgrading from 1.71 to 1.34 (while my stock rom is 1.84.708.1)
Please point me to the links or references so that I can look into it
Appologize, if my questions have already been asked by others.
thanks in advance
Cheers
I'm also in the same boat. Did you find out what the solution was?
Nope, no official ROM versions 1.72 or higher are rootable yet.
The guide to downgrade from 1.72 to 1.34 and root will work for you.
After root, if you want to get back to a more recent ROM version, you can flash the Virtuous custom ROM, which is based on 1.85.
Thank you!

i have one question about downgrade ...is it able to backup the offical 1.84 rom for go back to OEM for warranty ?
cause the downgrade will wipe the 1.84 rom already
or does your 1.34 able to check the OTA upgrade if i want OEM back ?
or any method to backup the 1.84 before downgrade ?

You should be able to flash the official shipped 1.84 ROM if ever needed for warranty purposes.
As far as I know, there is no way to make a nandroid/clockworkmod backup of the 1.84 ROM, since it would require root to do so.

As explained in the above post, currently there is no tools to back up the ROM without firstly rooting your device Unfortunately, you cannot root rom v.1.84
ROM Manager and Titanium back up require the phone to be rooted in order to do back up.
So, What I did before rooting, is downloading the new stock rom from this link:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision
However, after rooted, you still can have OTA upgrade
So, now I have 2 shipped rom (i.e v.1.34 and v.1.84)
If I ever want to upgrade, I dont need OTA, I just flash it...
Cheers
thx for the help and the link help me alot

There's Google and there's the search button you could have used.
Anyways you will have to root this first. Follow either of these guides

After rooting the phone, you can choose any ICS ROM in the development section. The installing procedure all will be similar to this

You should look here to find how to root your phone and then install the rom you want.
Hello everyone,
I want to root my desire hd but to do that I need to have Froyo on my desire hd. I readed a few guides to downgrade the desire hd but for all of them i need to have Advanced Ace Hack Kit. Now since that has been discontinued i don't know how to downgrade it. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Why do you need to downgrade?
Because i want to root my desire hd. and you need to downgrade to froyo to root it.
thanks for your reply but the only problem is that i can't download the PD98IMG.zip in the thread because I'm getting a survey.
Do you know where i can download it?
The only way aside from the retired AAHK is to unlock the bootloader. You don't need to downgrade to do that.
I messed for ages with the hack kit but there doesnt seem to be a reliable download for the PD98IMG.
Use HTDEV to unlock hboot
Fastboot flash a recovery
Use recovery to install a custom rom
Fastboot flash the roms boot.img (extract from the rom zip)
Hope this helps
Stu
thanks for your replies but I fixed it. I just downloaded a froyo RUU and now I have froyo and its rooted.
