Hey all,
Just want to know if someone can point me in the right direction.
I am following this guide guide but when it comes round to using the Visionary app it freezes and wont do anything.
I have tried temp rooting from boot and also with the phone fully running but still nothing.
I have not updated it, it is showing as ver. 2.2 despite the notice that the update is available to download.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi
Have you downgraded the ROM? Visionary only works on build 1.32 Froyo. If you are already on 1.32 then a factory reset normally fixes most Visionary problems.
I take it you mean the ROM that comes with the phone? The android version I have showing is ver. 2.2.1.
If I need to downgrade to ver. 1.32 how would be the best way to go about it?
Sorry of these are noob questions, I have searched all over trying to get the right answer.
Thanks
Have a look here DownGrade and then here Rooting Etc
or
have a look at the Advanced Ace Hack Kit HERE
The advanced ace hack kit has been getting some good reviews in the forums.
Thanks both, I will have a go and see what happens.

Hi Guys,
So I rooted my stock Incredible a few months back using Unrevoked and nandroid backup, and I know 2.2 just finally came out officially.
I've been keeping up with the forums but having a great deal of time figuring out how to upgrade to 2.2 with root. I actually received the notification from my phone that the update was out -- so I downloaded the update via my phone, and while it was trying to upgrade, the phone locked up -- then the update got lost after that and it says my phone is up to date yet I don't have 720p video recording.
I guess my main hurdle is overcoming all these technical speak -- upgrading radio? adb? recovery? kernel? All I want is to do the necessary minimum in order to upgrade from my rooted 2.1 to rooted 2.2.
Would someone please be kind enough to lend a hand? I've looked through "HTC DROID INCREDIBLE helpful/popular threads [LOOK HERE FIRST]" and other threads, but just get lost in the jargon.
Thanks!
These are some instructions I used to do what you want to do. I also added my comments on how I did it later in the posting. Thanks to Heathsrow for his help.

Updating the radio was the scariest part for me cause done wrong and it could brick your phone. Follow the steps slowly and precisely and it should be fine though.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Are you referring to the post by Heathsrow? But those are instructions to go from a Stock 2.1 to rooted 2.2..
I have a rooted 2.1 already. Will it matter?
This is the guide I started checking out last night. Thinking of doing it today!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771178
Make sure you apply s-off before installing 2.2, either the OTA or the RUU otherwise you will not be able to root it without downgrading back to 2.1.

Just wanted to say I followed this guide instead
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=760306
It's a lot easier. if you're already rooted on 2.1 start on step 9.
You can download unrevoked-forever at the top of the guide and the 2.15 radio.
Just make sure you follow the guide exactly and read the warnings about updating the radio.
Hello all you wonderful guys and girls,
I am a noob and have taken the plunge to root access. Sorry if this is a dumb question.
I have run visionary and temp root worked fine. I then performed perm root and all seemed well. Once rebooted superuser is not functional and returns a FC whenever any apps attempt to use it. Attempting to confirm su access in terminal emulator produces FC. Many apps including gmail also FC. In addition some apps completely disappeared eg ES File Manager/angry birds
I haven't been game to try anything else as I can't find this behaviour described anywhere else. The phone is still functional and it was always my intention to continue to flash to android revolution or similar.
Am I worried over nothing and should proceed with radio s-off? Or am I asking for more trouble by going further?
Desire HD
Stock ROM
Kernel version 2.6.32.21-g66cfb7a/htc-kernel(at)and18-2 #1

Thanks in advance,

Please help guys, I'm starting to worry a bit.
Have you tried to install su from market, does that work?
cheers

Thanks for the reply marleyb,
There was some weird stuff going on, even the market crashed eventually.
Jkoljo suggested some thing obvious and simple and perform a factory reset. This has fixed the issue and on second attempt, visionary+ has worked and I have permroot! The first go around, visionary must have broken something in my system partition.
Cheers for your input,
Dave
hi Indro9,
I have a Desire HD on the Three network with the same firmware number as you 1.32.861.5
I'm a total noob to the whole ROM/Rooting scene as well and want to root my phone.
I've read many guides saying that if you're running firmware 1.72/1.75 you need to downgrade to 1.32.405.6 or lower but no mention is made anywhere of what you need to do if your running our firmware 1.32.861.5.
Did you downgrade your firwmare before you rooted your phone or was it ok to proceed with your firmware version?
Also which guide did u follow and do you have any words of advice seeing as we have the exact same phones? You help would be greatly appreciated mate.
Thanks

If you are on 1.32 you can straight run Visionary, temproot first, then permroot, then http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403 great tools by jkoljo, make sure you buy him a beer,

Hey vinpor,
As Marleyb says, visionary+ worked fine with that firmware version.
The guides I followed are as above plus also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964996 although without the eng s-off and radio flash.
As far as which ROM to use, Android revolution 4.0 beta 4 is what I have now and am very happy so far. I've already tried a few others and disappointingly cyanogenmod 7 breaks when I activate the wireless although its an experimental. Cyanogenmod 6 worked though was based on 2.2 so I was itching to try a newer ROM.
All in all the process was easy and the support here on xda was great. I got a bit nervous early on (rooting) but the flashing was simple and just as described.
Please give to the people who have worked this out for us and let me know if I can help any further.
Dave
Also, I just want to add that jkoljo's radio s-off program worked just fine on my mac using xp via parallels. Thanks again to jkoljo.
Dave
Thanks for the help guys. Just thought I should let you guys know the rooting process went well & I managed to get radio s-off as well as eng s-off. So far I've tried revolution hd & leedroid both seem much smoother than my stock Rom.

Thank you so much.
Now moving on to flash another rom, and try and figure the whole fing about the radio out..
I successfully downgraded and rooted my desire hd 2.42.415 at last. Thanks a million JSLEnterprises. You are awesome
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

they're explained in coles notes way at the bottom of the 9 step thread
I am tired of watching useless YouTube videos, reading useless comments, and doing it from November until today. My Desire HD is updated, as you all DHD users know, the latest update is the Sense 3.0 update, and now it's a 2.3.5 ver. Android on it. The question is? How can I root it?? I REALLY want to root this phone but I couldn't find a solution for 2.3.5 Desire HDs, just the Froyo ones. Help please! I tried GingerBreak, SuperOneClick. Nothing happens, they run forever and do nothing.
Hey dude.
Did your DHD come with Gingerbread or did you OTA update to it?
If your DHD came with Froyo and you updated to GB, you can factory reset your DHD to take it back to Froyo, then follow the instructions here to downgrade to 1.32 then you can root etc...
Regards.
Greg.
Thank, it came with Froyo as I've bought it when came out.
You can use AAHK (advanced ace hack kit). Search for it on the site. It is updated to root all versions of Android officially released for DHD. No need to this manually as the AAHK does it all on its own in mere minutes. Just make sure you really read what needs to be done before running it. It really is a very simple process. If you get stuck running it, AAHK has an irc support chan so you can ask there or in the thread directly.

Donno if I am missing something but i cant find this AAHK thing, and the factory reset does not downgrade my phone, just removed all my stuff, but still 2.3.5 and sense 3.0. Why is it so complicated...
Use search in xda. Aahk will find the thread.

Hi there,
I'm in the same situation as the TS, also with the stock OTA Gingerbread update. So, I understand that a downgrade is unavoidable during the root process right? I understand that AAHK is the way to do it. My question is, will it OTA update back to my current version of GB 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 after the root and downgrade? Or is OTA updating after this process dangerous or will it undo the root? I'm kinda guessing that flashing the stock 3.12.405.1 ROM manually will undo the root process?
I know there are probably many magnificent ROM's out there that I could flash. But I just don't have the time to identify the differences, try things out and maybe change to another ROM because of bugs. I did do that back in the old WinMo days. Then I would probably flash a new ROM weekly, because there was something faster or more bugfree. Because, even a ROM from the greatest chef has some bugs. I don't have time for that anymore unfortunately, so I'd like to stick with the stock ROM which is good enough for me.
In fact, the only thing I want is root, in order to control permissions from apps (Permissions Denied app) and make better (Titanium) backups. I want nothing more.
Please help me out!

You could OTA update back to 2.3.5, but you would lose root! ;-) Here is a pre rooted stock ROM you can use after rooting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235

So I just got a Droid Incredible and I am trying to root and install the cyanogen mod on it. I tried rooting with unrevoked 3 but it said the firmwas too new. I looked at other ways to root with the newest build 6.08.605.19 710RD but there are none. There were some that talked about going from 2.3.4 to 2.2 and then rooting but that seems very involved and it doesn't work a lot. Is there anything else out there that I am missing?
