it's a very easy and simply steps, there are a few tools to help u root, u don't even need to understand any theory, just "press button", however there always a risk and that's why few people would do it for u.
if u want, just search "one key root or one key radio-off"

Hi,
Can someone tell me if it is possible now at all to root a DHD without downgrading?
Thanks,
Shiva.

Dhd a9191 !!

Is there difference from usual DHD?
Sent from my Best DhD
It's probably just the batch number or something. THere can be used some different materials (like the two diffrent screen brands). But it's just the DHD. NOthing more nothing less.
There are some more version numbers
I dont know

Hi Dr m0x,
how did you enchanced your DHD ?
Dear All DESIRE HD user,
Did anyone of you manage to ROOT your DHD ? z4root doesn't work with DHD !!! ....too bad....please let me know.
We're pretty much all rooted here
Have a look at the pinned threads in the development section for guides. You need to use Visionary, not z4root for DHD.

Hope it helps.
When I was rooting i did stupid act, I had phone on 1.72 version, and before rooting i decided to use official upgrade to 2.36. That act costed me a lot of time and energy to downgrade but I finally managed it. I also had to use GOLDCARD (and I borrowed SD card from my daughters phone, lucky me to have a daughter who was willing to lend me her card) Long story short, just follow instructions, but before, be sure to understand every step you need to take. It would be a problem that you reach 2/3 of a way and than you find out you don't understand step or two, and your phone is turned on half way to rooting. Read instructions few times before start to do things.

help!

You will lose everything, and you do not need a goldcard.

It will be moved to the Q&A section where it belongs.
Because you failed to read the rules (see links in my sig).
Because everything is already answered and this has absolutely nothing to do with development...
ok after the method that you link what should i do?

Gasan ask in the thread I posted, its specifically there for that purpose.
But be prepared for:
a) You need some rudimentary understanding of computers
b) You need to understand that anything like this has the risk of making your phone unusable (bricked)
c) Read the ENTIRE thread before you expect anyone to help when you ask any questions, I know this is a bit of a pain but we all had to do it once and it will get you more insight into the process and less rage from the people who spend all their time writing and coding this stuff.
Thus endeth the lesson
Good luck mate.

Its not that we don't want to help, firstly this is the development section, you do not post questions here, there is a separate forum for that.
Secondly you need to use the search function, there's a lot of guides and info here to help. You should at least go through them before posting blindly.
Lastly, welcome to the forum, enjoy and respect the rules .

[Q] need help please

hi everybody,
i am new with android i have HTC desire HD when i got it it was 1 month old so it was installed CM7 but because i dont like devices with non original software so i ask someone expert to instal for me the original rom with HTC sense the one which come from factory with desire HD(i know that CM7 maybe is better version and includes new features but i like HTC sense...)
so now i have in software information
android version 2.3.3
HTC sense version 2.1

and if yes is it the latest version from HTC for desire HD (of course i mean the officiel rom) because if i go to settings/software updates/check now it says: there are no updates for your phone.

sorry but i am completly new with this things so i dont know what that means rooted and how to do all this things so i need help step by step if you dont mind thank you very much really
okay... the first step that u need to learn and do its
1- if your current version of android its upper than 1.32xx u need to do DOWNGRADE
2-then u need to do ROOT for obtain superuser permissions for total acces to your handset (like any Linux OS)
3-install the CLOCKWORK MOD recovery
4-do RADIO S-OFF & ENG S-OFF + SUPERCID (CID 1111111)if u want to flash any baseband, or another rom diferent of your carrier etc... this step it´s needed..
this 4 steps are in this thread... read and familiarizate with the concepts before flashing....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076
when u did it u can start to select custom roms, kernels etc...

[Q] How to root HTC desire HD ver 2.3.3... ? NEED HELP.. !!

Hii guys..
I am new to this forum.
I need to root my HTC DESIRE HD (gingerbread), with s/w number 2.37.720.3.
But I have learnt from many other sites and other threads in this forum that
Desire HD must be downgraded first.
There are ways to downgrade for s/w number 2.36.XX.X, but couldn't find any for 2.37.
Hope some one kind enough could help me out.
Thanks in advance guys..
Regards,
K.Sagar.
I am afraid you are stuck without root my friend, you cannot temp root 2.37 with gingerbreak and hence downgrade is impossible at present. I guess you will have to wait for HTC to open their bootloaders and then flash a custom rom with root in it.
When HTC will open DHD bootloader... only time will tell.
Thanks for the info dude..
hmm that's not a pleasant news...If I knew that I'd never go for gingerbread update. I do get htc sense error frequently. That's really annoying. so any way I'm positive that the xda pro will come up with solution.
Cheers
Hmm, I reckon someone will figure this out.
Soon, I hope!
Hope you guys at XDA will figure it out... Please find out a solution...
Thank you guys in advance..
Really awaiting a solution..
Yups, guess we all would like to know when HTC opens it's DHD bootloader ...
So did any1 find a way to root 2.37.720.3??? I m pissed with tjis stock rom...vry unstable...wifi conntection drops...no update in india ((

[Q] How do I root my DHD? (2.50.45.2)

Hey, I´ve used the search tool, but couldn´t find anything.
I would like to Root my HTC Desire HD, so I can Install the new Android Revolution 6.x (Android 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 )
My Phone is currently running:
Android 2.3.3
Sense 2.1
Baseband Version 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel Version 2.6.35.10
Build Number 2.50.405.2
Software Number 2.50.405.2
My Phone has no branding!
Is rooting possible for me?
Can Someone please help me?
I am totaly new to rooting, so I would appreciate a step by step tutorial.
That makes two of looking for the same information, any help out there please
YES rooting is possible.
I rooted my Dhd about two weeks ago and all went well.
I spent about a week reading lots of different sites. All using different methods in the end I used a guide on driphter.com
Forum > Everything Android > HTC Desire HD/Inspire 4G > General Discussion > [GUIDE] Downgrade, Root, Radio & Eng S-OFF DHD/Inspire 4G in 9 Steps
if your unbranded you can skip the goldcard step.
i also had to download the PD98IMG using my phone and move it to the root (not in any folder) of the sd card using astro
the only other step i changed was to install visionary+ from blackmart alpha (google it. Its a blackmarket market) the install from the toolkit didn't work for me.
JSL is very good/quick to answer questions on that fourm.
Hope this helps.
What do I need S-Off for?
What does it do?

You need s-off to flash new roms its an added security HTC add.
I think it stands for security off but i'm not 100% sure if anyone wants to correct me/let mr know please do.
I can´t download the ToolKit
Something seems to be wrong with the .zip file...
Any other way?
What you guys need to do is read, and follow closely, all of the information contained in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079108
