yes you have to downgrade... i used this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
...for perm root i would suggest to use the wiki guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
thanks, no one click root? It looks so complicated...
There is also a one click root... But i dont recommend it, because it has a high potential to brick your phone

Thanks! I rooted it yesterday, took me 5 hours to downgrade and root, but was all worth it. Wasnt very hard, the steps were easy to follow. (I have some experience with adb)

You can try to Root the phone with the Visionary APK, but it just gives a half-root, not a full root. Clockwork and AmonRa will not change the Recovery without S-OFF.
Until someone figures out how to set S-ON to S-OFF, we cannot install any ROMs.

Wait, what? If you're already rooted, what are you trying to accomplish exactly? I'm confused...
I just want to downgrade my g2 to 1.32 so I can do sim unlock with gfree.

but you're already rooted. How did you root the first time?
It's easy... I used visionary 1.4 to get root access and install rom manager for clockmod recovery and I forgot about gfree till now..

It's not to hard

So that is the easiest and only way. I guest I could wait for HTC to unlock hboot or say revolutionary to break it.

I supose but revelutionary won't be able to root your dhd unless there's been a break through to s-off dhd like that.
I'm affraid that is currently your best way to root, I had the latest ota update when I decided to root I tried twice and it worked

Hello Am thinking on Rooting my one x, but not sure if I should just yet. I had a desire before this phone witch I rooted and was easy enough to un-root so I could send it back to o2 for repair when speaker broke.
Now If I root my One x and something happens where I need to send back for repair can you easy un-root?
Is the only method to rooting with HTCdev? we still dont have alpharev root yet?
Thanks

Rooting through htcdev invalidates your warranty so you better wait.

S-off would be great seems that little detail makes the world of difference in rooting. I upgraded from the HTC vivid and don't think it as an s-off method yet either and it's been out a while someone correct me if I am wrong.

I rooted my desire hd one year ago using aahk, today i tried to root my friend's dhd using aahk, but failed
Can anyone help me to root htc desire hd

Easy Ace Root Tool.
I don't have my DHD fully rooted, but anyway.
First you have to unlock your bootloader, find instructions on htcdev.com for it. Then you can flash a stock rom with SU acces, so you'll be rooted. But I recommend you to S-OFF the DHD also, I myself didn't figure out how to do it yet.
Still learning

You can try this tool (aahk2) that is found on a german forum. I got my DHD rooted and S-OFF using this tool only. Just translate the page, read instructions carefully and you are done!

AAHK is retired and unsupported. It also can't download the RUUs it needs anymore because the server was taken down. Use at your own risk.
