Is this possible ? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have a desire hd running on android 2.3.3 its not rooted but it is S-OFF.
i want to root my phone so i can use a custom rom. however gingerbrick didnt work for me. so is it possible if i use RUU 1.32 to downgrade and then root it ?

Yeah that will work. Downgrade first and then use the visionary+ tool I believe it's called and you should be rooted. It's simple really, did it the other day. Once you have done it you then realise how easy it was

but remember, you wont be able to use any apps that require root access, as the latest GB rom from HTC hasn't been rooted, so BEWARE!!!!!!!
if you need, you can go for any GB ROM from here, which provide you full access to root & superuser, etc.
Try using visionary
I know there's a unroot function on it, but never used it. Probarly someone else did, maybe search the forum

[Q] Rooting Desire Z, gingerbread stock

Lately there was stock update from Froyo to Gingerbread in HTC Desire Z. I have 'clean way' rooted Z myself, but my wife has stock ROM and would be insterested in rooting, but yet retaining her current setup.
My "noob question" is (tried to use search without results), is it possible to root this phone with these:
Android version 2.3.3
HTC Sense 2.1
Core 2.6.35.10 [email protected] #1
Build 2.42.405.2
Software 2.42.405.2
...with retaining the stock ROM and everything with it? I managed to do clean root tutorial to step where it should be temp rooted, but Terminal Emulator just frosed.
Any help, answers?
If the device was updated from froyo to gingerbread via OTA you can't root yet

I join the question, how do I install a custom rom then?
I would also love if someone manage to root and s-off it

Hello, sorry if I use your topic but I know it's worse to open a new one
I have a rooted and s-offed DZ (baseband 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M and kernel 2.6.32.21). What should I do in order to update to gingerbread without losing root and s-off? Is there a stock 2.3.3 rom already available?
Thanks
Gingerbread has been temp-rooted. There's a guide here
After temp-root and downgrade you can s-off and install clockwork mod recovery, which lets you flash new roms, which can be found in the development sub-forum

you link is for g2 which don't include sense. does it also work for sense gingerbread firmware?

Since I cant comment on the thread you linked to (here) I'll ask you here, can I use that guide to temp root just once in awhile to use things such as overclocking?

You won't be able to do much with temproot, you definetly can't overclock because that requires a different kernel to be installed. My advice is, if your gonna take the time to temproot then spend the extra 15 minutes getting perm-root (gfree) and watch your DZ grow wings. It seriously takes longer to download the software than the actual process does, and it's easily reversible should you have to send your phone in for any reason.

[Q] Visionary+ like app

Before I updated my Desire to official Gingerbread 2.3.3, I had used Visionary+ to temp root my phone. It doesn't work with Gingerbread and also looks like the app has come to end of life.
I tried searching the forum and Google, found many solutions but only to perm root.
I don't want to downgrade or change any ROM or do perm root. I'm looking for temp root only, like with Visionary+. I install it in my phone click temp root and done.
If anyone knows about this app, please let me know. I'd appreciate it very much.
Gingerbread closes the exploit visionary+ used for temp root. As far as I am aware, there is no temp root app yet. Can I ask why you don't want perm root?

I only want root, nothing else. No different ROM or loader or other fancy stuff.
I don't think I can say give me perm root like visionary+ temp root but don't change any stuff in my phone. I sincerely hope I'm wrong here.
You can go perm root and still use your stock rom.. You don't have to change that if you don't want to.

Oh! I can. I tried unrevoked but it only talks about custom ROM. Am I misinterpreting something? Please advise.
Unrevoked doesn't work on GB. You have to use revolutionary.
Yes it opens the door for custom Roms, but you don't have to.

The FAQ in unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary says:
Does Revolutionary give me root?
No. You will need to flash this zipfile from recovery.
So this means I don't need revolutionary for rooting?
How to flash that file from recovery?
You need first revolutionary, then recovery then you can flash zip. You need s-off first provided by revolutionary to get root. You can't get it without it

Root 2.2 is it possible?

I had tried to root wildfire who was updated to 2.2. Now I had tried to root the phone. And near to the end there writes
Error:failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?
Does that mean that is impossible to root wildfire while hi is on 2.2 version and I must downgrade it to 2.1 version to root phone?
And how will I downgrade it?
And can I upgrade it again after downgrading.
Sorry for my bed grammar,and please help me.
Did you use the unrevoked method to root your phone? Cause it is a method rooting only 2.1 devices. Check out revolutionary.io where you should find all the guide to root your 2.2.1 phone.

I have rooted my phone,can I update phone to 2.2 again?
Did you use revolutionary method? It gives you s-off, and the ability to flash a custom recovery. It does not upgrade-downgrade your ansroid version. Go to settings, about phone, and there you can see your android version. Hypothetically, without flashing a new rom, like cm7, you are still on sense, so nothing has changed except the fact you have root access, which you can find out installing titanium backup from the market.
Have a happy new year with your new rooted phone.

I actually can't tell you which the best rom is, you have to see for yourself. I love cm7, though i've tried many roms with or without sense. Flash them, try them, and choose the one that suits you. Check this thread out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318&highlight=roms

yep .. desire s appears on video but as you can read in the memo associated in the same youtube page it works even on "HTC Desire, HTC Desire S, HTC Wildfire, HTC Aria, HTC Incredible S, HTC Droid Incredible 2, HTC Thunderbolt, HTC Evo 4G, HTC View, HTV Flyer, HTC Sensation, HTC Evo 3D and the myTouch 4G" (the memo contains also text of all procedure ..
I think is interesting for the bad_boys question, first is a all-in-one procedure to SOFF, Recovery acquisition and Root, after becouse to root a Desire already on GB require a more complicate procedure respect a froyo based one.
Revolutionary does not root your phone a jmclue said. It uses temp root (I believe) to gain s-off and flash a custom recovery.
The easiest way to obtain root after using revolutionary is to flash an already rooted custom rom.
If you want to root your current rom I think there is a zip file you can flash to do this.
I personally rooted my desire and flashed recovery using an older version of unrevoked (I think it was 3.21). I s-off'ed using alpharev some months later. It is not necessary to be s-off to flash custom roms. If you can get it to work I personally think it is easier to use unrevoked as it is a one click solution. Read all the guides before attempting this however.

I also used unrevoked 3.21 .. but I'm not sure that it works on 2.3.3 (as - it seems - Revolutionary does) .. naturally another way is to come back on froyo.
Yes revolutionary is for 0.93.0001 & 1.02.0001 hboots and is very very simple and straight foward to use

S-off has nothing to do with android version on your phone or with root. Everything depends on your hboot version.
Revolutionary does the job with 0.93 and 1.02 hboot, for older versions of hboots Alpharev Reflash Utility should be used.
The problem with Unrevoked is that it cannot bypass never hboots to flash superuser to system.

which way should i go plz help me for easiest way thank u
imo jmcclue has given the right advice and dont do anything else. You can find detailed instructions in the guide he has referred to but the overall picture is like this:-
- Use revolutionary from revolutionary.io to get SOFF. As part of this process you will also get a custom recovery.
- Flash root package from revolutionary.io if you want to get root on current rom else choose a custom rom and flash from recovery.
Thats all
