New to root and rom things - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey All.
Im completely lost in the "rom" jungle.
Im trying to root my desire hd, but all I get is tools to old for my device, asking me to downgrade my rom before root.. I was looking at the post "Android Revolution HD" rom, but it startet in 2010, and counts 5000+ pages.. Would any point me to the correct post/solution ?

when i did it on mine, i searched though threads and never needded more than the 1st post and following OP posts (and i only read, without any questions or even new threads), if u still need to have this thread make a mod to move it to Q&A or general

Posting in the correct section would be a good start
There are plenty of guides & tools that will root 2.3/4/5 firmware.
Look in the Dev section for the AAHK that will do it for you.

Ty andyharney!
Think that did the trick..

[Q] Stupid noob question

Hello all, I have recently moved from iOS to my Desire HD, loving it. Have been reading a lot about rooting, and have downloaded visionary r14, didn't work, so I assumed I had the latest software. This is the stupid noob question, how do I actually see what software I have. When I go into the software information page its telling me the software number is 1.24.405.1, same with the build number. The Kernal is 2.6.32.21, and the baseband is 12.27.60.14bU_26.02.00.29_M4, and its running Android 2.2.
Any ideas?
I have done the check for updates, its telling me its up to date. At the moment I cant even temproot with Visionary r14.
I'm at a total loss, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi!!!
If you have android 2.2 than you can root dhd with visionary r14.
Just remember to enable USB-debugging before running visionary. Temroot first than permroot.
NEXT TIME POST IN RIGHT SECTION

[Q] Root Official HTC And 2.3.3

Is it possible to root an official rom by HTC (2.3.3) developed as RUU?
After upgrade I used UnRevoked 3.2.2 and it doesn't work. I think that the problem is with HBOOT 1.02.0001. Downgrading to official ROM 2.2 (RUU) doesn't work, so it's impossible to root my phone in the same way as i did it before (on Froyo).
You are the 10th user asking this.
If you flashed the RUU - then NO, not yet.
I see than im not the only one with this problem.
To Administrators - please remove this thread
Yo mods, can we please get a merge of all topics related to this one and then sticky it please.
It should be stick 'cause a lot of people have been ”afected” by this hboot update.
Including me T_T
Stop posting these threads........
I repeat myself -_-

[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?
Thanks for the Help, Ill try it out...
(I hope I dont brick my phone)

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
I hope it answers all (or at least most) of your questions.

Could it be your Antivirus is killing the download? check to see if it is being held in Quarantine.
Take Care

(htc should really thing about getting some of you guys !!!!)
Thanks for the Help with the threads

Stock Orange 2.3.5 Rom rooting question

Hi,
I want to root and then install the Android Revolution HD Custom Rom and I have a question before I go ahead.
Basically is it safe to go ahead and use the tools listed in the Revolution HD dev thread to root and then install?
For example The one click S Off tool Visionary is apparently not being developed any more and is only intended for Froyo builds.
I have been searching the dev thread but at 6500+ pages I may well have missed something so apologies if this has already been answered.
Anyone? I really don't want to brick the phone with a year left on the contract.
Don't know how you read 6500 pages and miss the ace hack kit. Use that make sure to read the manual
As I don't have two spare weeks to read all 6500 pages I didn't. Found mention of the AHK on page 6200 and something. Thanks for the heads up!
Yay!! rooted and booted and running 7.0.3, AHK worked like a charm!
Thanks again!
