Hi all
I realise that you get this...a lot...but I am seeing a lot of conflicting information. I am not completely new to rooting and have just received a Desire Z for my girlfriend from Vodafone DE.
I want to root and change Roms and, essentially, give her the same great experience that I had on my old Desire with CM7.
I initially saw the Visionary info, then Rage...most of them say to downgrade, some say not...etc.
I am looking for the best method to root (Preferably with S-OFF)
Code:
Phone Details:
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Kernel version: 2.6.32.21-g9d69527 [email protected]#1 Fri Oct 29 14:49:32 CST 2010
Build number: 1.34.161.6 CL273326 release-keys
Software number: 1.34.161.6
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
If you go to the wiki and follow the guide for the Htc Vision you should be ok, I see you are on version 1.34 so you should be able to root without downgrading

Superb, thanks - I will give that a try

I post this message for my friend whose account isn't yet verified.
Hello,
few months ago I tried to root my Desire with my friend, but it didn't seem to go according to plan and we thought that this isn't working and decided to leave the rooting process.
However, now I'm not able to update it to Android 2.2 OTA, and not even by manual update.
So if you guys could tell me what's the problem because i don't have a clue.
I'll write down the software information if it helps, could this Desire be rooted now anyway? And if it is, what should i do?
Firmware version:
2.1-update1
Baseband version:
32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2

Thank you for your help!
It may be solved now, titanium backup is working when i installed busybox. So my phone is rooted and thats why i can't get OTA updates
Hello all,
I recently purchased a T-Mobile Desire HD. I got it SIM unlocked and then managed to create a goldcard and used it to flash a HTC stock ROM, which is working fine. What I'd like to know is whether the phone is now CID unlocked or whether I'll need to use the goldcard again to update the firmware? I'm aware that I could simply try confirm this by flashing a stock ROM again, but I've already entrenched myself into the phone. Also, will I be able to get OTA updates?
According to the Software Information screen, I have the following:
Android version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2

yes if you s-off with the radio s-off and super CID .... but if your rooted with a custom recovery you can't flash ota updates ..... they fail

You're fine. =]
oh, so i take it mines up to date then lol
Looks fine just earlier firmware release. I wouldn't recommend applying any OTA updates thought as later firmwares are not rootable, but then if you intend staying stock and unrooted upgrade away

Fair enough if your happy with stock. But the likelihood of bricking it, if your capable of following instructions is infintinesimal
you dont know my luck lol
Use my tools, you can't go wrong. Nobody has bricked a DHD using them yet, I use very tight safety measures
If something is not right, the tools will just abort and return the device to square one.
thx jkoljo, ill concider doing it once im used to the phone
just a thought. am i missing an update then?
Guys Please Help me to root my HTC Desire HD.

i try many root tools still not work. I wait almost 1hr still loading.
Have you installed Visionary and attempted to temproot? If so, what happened? What other tools are you talking about? What is still loading after 1 hr? Are you stuck in a bootloop? If so, have you removed the battery and tried to reboot again?
Have you searched the forum for instructions? I was under the impression that there was an absolute wealth of info here...
You'll need to provide a bit more info, mate.

the bottom one seems to be the most popular
UPDATE: 26 OCT 2011:
Just used the bottom method on my friends DHD running 2.50.707.4, worked like a charm (so easy), just follow the manual and you should have no issues what so ever ... got the latest version with built in Goldcard (link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352)
Then flashed Capy's latest 3.1 Runny, now the DHD has a new lease of life
Great work and thanks to all (for the developers of the Ace Hack kit, and capy for providing us the awesome roms)

A few resources via my sig might help.
Gave up on my HTC Desire HD a while ago and went to the Optimus Black. Anyway coming back I have no idea how to root my phone from 2.3.3 Branded on Vodafone Australia. Previously before I left the DHD I tried Visionary and failed since it wasn't running Froyo. Any solutions? (Preferably without Downgrading first)
