Advise: Flashing to official FroYo ROM and rooting

Singapore (Asia) Desire owner, which ROM should I get (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667)? Is it the "RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.7_Radio_32.36.00.2 8U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126179_signed.exe"?
And how do I root the official FroYo ROM? My friend did it and he told me to check the forums, but I don't see any thread instructing how to root the official ROM. Advice will be deeply appreciated

It works? Tested?
And so do I use that RUU? Or the .zips listed below?

I need help! I made a goldcard using this guide (http://www.roothtchero.co.uk/goldcard-2), ran the "RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.7_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126179_signed.exe" RUU as administrator, and followed the instructions. But halfway through I got this error:
Error message said:
Error [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR

your bootloader version is wrong.
look for the correct version of the RUU

Okay, my bootloader version is 0.80 so I downloaded the RUU for that (RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed) but I get another error:

We all have that problem at the moment

But my friend has gotten it? And I thought it is supposed to be released this couple days?

since when singapore is getting it first?
it's suppose to be released in europe this weekend.

If I'm on the RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2 ROM I won't get the Singapore FroYo ROM right? But I can't flash the RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.7 one, it says wrong bootloader version. LOL.

Update now available! (According to http://htc-desire-get-froyo.u4y.eu/)

You do realise if you update to the "Official Froyo from HTC" you may NEVER be able to root your phone again don't you?

Won't unrevoked's rooting program work?

No, because, if going by the leaked Froyo / Sense roms, these come with a new HBOOT version, which at this time, cannot be rooted by any current methods.
I suggest keeping your phone rooted as it is, and when the official OTA arrives, wait for a dev to have a look at it, removes the HBOOT and roots the ROM.

On that note.
I used to have a Windows Phone (Touch HD) and loved Miri's ROMs as he used all the latest versions of the OS and stock software, with no added extras such as apps/graphics. Is there a ROM developer like that on the Android side?
One thing I dont want is my phone to end up unrootable and be versions behind on the OS because HTC have abandoned us

You can try DeFroST or OpenDesire. They are two of the most popular ROMs around. I was on DeFroST and all was well till 2.5a (didn't like the new notification LED's colors) so I am gonna try OpenDesire now.

unrevoked doesn't root a ROM (does it?), it just helps you apply an already rooted ROM.
Someone will need to root the ROM first.

[Q] how to unroot my desire baseband 33.44.00.32u

I am a new one here,i want to unroot my desire ,however ,i don`t know how to do it. my desire is SLCD screen,the baseband is 32.44.00.32U-5.09.0530.2,anyone here can help me ?I really appreciate

I am not good at this thing but look through this thread.
Also wait for a second opinion. There may be better methods
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256

Thanks. I brought it from Netherlands will it go some problem?

What's was software version running on your phone when you first got it? The baseband is the radio and isn't important (yet)

what are the benifits of unrooting the device?

- Clean slate to start again
- Returning handset under warranty
- Just using the phone as it is as rooting isn't needed for what you use your phone for (my option)

origanial 2.2

I can't update the OTA, so I try to recover but still have the superuser

can use the offical rom

This statement is as helpful as a chocolate teapot. What version number were you running, e.g. 2.10.405.2?
Without that we can't advise which stock RUU to flash to get back to working

my version number is 2.10.405.2 !!!

And that is what it came with out of the box? Or is that what it's saying now?

I just want to unroot my desire and back to original rom,could you give me a clean room to set?

Without knowing the ROM it was running ON THE DAY YOUR BOUGHT IT we cannot recommend which to use

I bought at september the rom is basic 2.2

But what was the software version on the day you bought it?? That is what I'm trying to find out!?!?! e.g. 1.21.405.2

software:2.10.405.2
build number:2.10.405.2 CL226611 release-keys
kernel version:2.6.32.15-g6a358a9

And that was it the day you bought it? If so, download the 2.29.405.2 RUU in my signature (click it) and just run that from your Windows PC with your phone connected in FASTBOOT

yes,thank you

If some one will find some solution please share it.
gingerbreak 1.2 not working with 2.50

Well, u need clockworkmod to flash it which u need rom manager for. And for rom manager u need root
I think we'll have to wait.. But the 2.37+ downgrade has been in development for about 2 months now.. Taking way to long

Probably waiting to see which bootloaders are unlocked, as promised.
Due out in September.

If u are S-OFF then u can downgrade to 2.36 by using the RUU version then root ur device,
edit:- i´ve done it more than 3times after updating from 2.36 to 2.50 "OTA" (believe me u can)
U can get the 2.36 ruu here:-

So,if i'm novice and i don't have s-off with 2.50 only thing i can do is wait for downgrade?is that right?

Trivial Question
I have a trivial question, I am very interested in rooting using this method, however I have recently encountered an issue with my stock rom ever since I did the OTA update to 2.43.611.1 The issue is HTC Sence has stopped unexpectedly window pops up quite often & in talking to telus my provider & HTC them selves, they both say the phone needs to be repaired,
My question since I encountered the problem immediatly upon doing the OTA update should I get it repaired first or just try rooting to see if that fixes it.
Also if possible can I be pointed in the direction of how to return to stock Telus if I end up rooting & the probelm still persists?
My thanks to thoes who have diligently be working & involved in helping others & myself reach root status on higher Build numbers.
Great Work!

The reason you're getting the error after the ota update is the same reason why people get issues after installing custom roms and not wiping their device... the old cache and user data conflicts with the update.
Downgrading and then flashing a custom rom along with flashing an updated radio will remedy the problem. I dont believe you'll want to use the initial radio release, I highly recommend flashing the radio from the 2.52 korean release to your Telus DHD, along with the ril's from that release and replacing the ones in the rom you will flash via cwm recovery. ENG S-OFF is required to flash a new radio or recovery img.
Once you downgrade, you can always return to the stock 2.43.661.1 rom. There is a thread in the Desire HD/Inspire 4G Forum on Driphter.com where I've placed the RUU's of common builds (especially for Telus and AT&T). If returning the device for warranty purposes, you must Radio S-On prior to Installing the stock rom via the RUU. The RUU Itself will set ENG to SHIP, and unroot.

Excellent, Greatly appreciated.
Might try rooting as soon as tonight. Kind of excited to have a functional device again!

I am glad that it worked, i thought OH **** the other day, when i found out that i shouldn't have updated to 2.50, if i was about to root..
Big thanks to you JSL, nice work, and easy tuturial!!
I can see that in /HTC ACE TOOLKIT
is a splash screen changer, and a boot animation changer.. how do i use them?

Cheers guys I will try that downgrade guide. Just a note though. The file fize of the version of HTC Sync for the Desire HD I'm downloading is 66.6MB. I hope that isn't an omen for this to go horrendously wrong

[Q] How To Root

Hey guys
I am totally new to the android phones, and now having a DHD which has the following specs:
Android Ver. 2.2
BaseBand Ver. 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_m
Kernel Ver. 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d
Build No. 1.32.405.6
Software No. 1.32.405.6
Now i looked at this link -
and didn't understand if i have to downgrade my DHD as well or is my version old enough so i can skip right ahead to the S-Off and ROOT?
can anyone tell me from what ver., and Ver. of what, do you have to perform downgrading?
thanks.

No need to downgrade.

how to root gingerbread
hi everybody,
forgive me if I' writing in the wrong place but for me has been enough difficult to get here..
I'm a rookie android user and I've been flying over the forums for the last three days, I'm really getting crazy.
Here are the specifics of my phone (branded):
android version 2.3.3
kernel version 2.6.35.10-gd2564fb
software number 2.50.405.2
and here's the problem:
I have purchased an AR drone and I'm trying to get it connected so I visited the following link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072281
seems that the first thing i need is a ROOTED Desire HD . I have tried every thing. Visionary (in different releases installed with ASTRO) seems not to be working. When i select Temproot now, after a while, the screen turns black. I waited for several minutes but nothing happened. So I needed to exit the program selecting "home". At that point it didn't allow me to rerun the app, I needed to reboot the phone to get it working again but no success.
So I tried GINGERBREAK 1.2 but after 25 minutes the rebooting process was still going on and I guessed that something was not working properly (as usual), so I stopped it. I think there is also a problem with Superuser (v 2.3.6.3), infact when I try to update it, it says "an error occurred and su was not updated. A zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sdcard, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary" (by the way...sorry for my inexperience, but what does "flash something" mean????).Anyway, my phone doesn't reboot on clockwork recovery.
Moreover, upon opening Rom manager (v4.3.2.4) it tells me that I must root my phone to get it working (of course) and that it cannot find Superuser at "system/bin/su" or "system/xbin/su". Guess what! I don't have such files on my phone.....
At this time i don't know what else I can do, I'm relly frustrated.
Can anyone help me out? keep in mind that if you have any kind of solution, I need some very "plain" explanation like if you were talking to your 5 years old son, please
Thanks

If we update with software number 2.50.405.2 can we root?

No, firmware > 2.37 cannot be rooted.

If your hboot is not 2.00.0029, you need to update it. Unlock bootloader is only working for the hboot with that version number.
