1. This is in the wrong section.
2. There are several threads about this already. No need to start a new one.
3. If you don't have s-off anymore it means you didn't have radio s-off and now you are stuck. You will not have root again.
Have a nice day.

Hello everyone and thanks for the replies. then in the future will be out a way to make the root in this version?thanks.

Most likely it will at some point in the future. If at all possible that is (insert scared shudder here).
The new devices rolling off the assembly line somewhere will all have the latest ROM and imho there are just too many useful things that require root.
If HTC, on the other hand, has succeeded in closing this ROM so tight that are no holes left to exploit I personally think that it will reflect negatively on their sales. Fat lot of good that will do us, I know.

Easiest Way To Root ?

I have a DHD with 1.72.405.3 unlocked and unbranded.

I've seen a couple of threads about Rooting , i just don't know which one to use.

Chances of bricking? Big time if you doesn't follow all the instructions..

I have to disagree on that, nobody has bricked a desire hd yet. Chances of bricking are very low if you use my tools, because my tools check if everything is ok before doing anything.

What's the difference between Root and S-Off ?

Root is a permission to do stuff in the current ROM, S-OFF is a setting deeper down in the device that for example sets the device's internal memory to read/write state instead of read only. Basically it allows you to flash stuff.

Thanks for the reply again, i think i'll stick with Rooting my phone so i can use some apps i couldn't use before.
I might S-OFF later on when i want to flash some custom roms

Actually there is no chance to brick your device with just rooting it...

Visionary + Has never, at least to my knowledge broken a phone; the only risk to damage of the phone is when flashing, and if you have used jkoljo's S-OFF tool, you can always get access to the bootloader, and therefore access clockworkmod, or reset the phone using the PGD128.zip (or whatever that is called, I cant remember the exact name) Happy flashing

I have to agree with you.. Your tool have help me in my journey to root and s-off.. But still have to follow your instruction, so that i won't do anything weird with my phone..

Sorry for all the noob questions, but if i Root and S-Off my phone how easy would it be to go back to stock unrooted ?

Follow this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
Be careful and read the instructions a few times.
Rooting shouldn't brick your dhd...flashing the radio is the most common way of bricking it (a know of a coupl eof dudes who glanced at the instructions and proceeded to brick them)
BUT there are some v good guides here and on youtube...

Ps...
And have fun!!!!!!!!

Root DHD

Hey everybody,
I am here to ask the much dreaded question. How can I root my DHD? I don't really want to use AAHK and downgrade my firmware, I need a 2.3.5 root please. By the way I have woven through many forums, so none of those "search before you ask" posts. After all, forums are for asking questions. Many thanks
P.S I am a new member, so bear with me

Forums are for asking new questions, but they are not for asking questions that have been asked and answered many times previously, like this one. With that said, I can believe that you have at least searched a bit and just not found what you're looking for, since the only other solution is significantly less popular (for good reason). So: you can use HTCDEV to unlock the bootloader. It give you fewer ROM options (you can only flash ROMs intended for your phone, not ported ROMs), and you need to flash the boot.img from your computer each time you flash a ROM. (Those restrictions are the reasons why HTCDEV is less popular than AAHK; I usually recommend AAHK.) Why don't you want to downgrade using AAHK?

first try this software http://www.unlockroot.com/ if it didnt work then use aahk

There is no way to gain S-OFF and root without downgrading. That is why the Hack Kit does that. SuperOneClick, unlockroot and other stuff wont work in your device.
The other choice is to unlock the bootloader as bananagranola said, but that wont give you total control of your device nor root.
What you can do, is after running the Hack Kit, flash a 2.3.5 custom rom that you like, but that is of course your call.

root for apps
i don't care about roms and anything else ,i just want to root my device to be able to install a firewall app (root needed) and avast anti theft (root needed) .I'm really tired of searching ,so please help .
thanks .

Why don't you just downgrade and root? I did the same way

OK guys, I guess AAHK is the way forward. It won't wipe my data will it?

Sadly, it will wipe your data during the downgrade process. There seems to be no way around it
But aahk is quite save and will tell you before it destroys any data.

The only chance that I see, is that run zergrush or tacoroot to gain temp root and then back up your stuff, then downgrade and root.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

Finaly a question that I need an answer to... Ok, I actually want to use the aahk, but my waranty is still valid so I wish to make a backup of my stock ROM so I could unROOT if something goes wrong in the future... Now, the aahk will downgrade my phone and thous not give me a chance to backup mu current ROM... Is there any way I could back it up somehow? I think that that is the way to go with the original question if you already want the stock ROM...

[Q] root my Desire HD without AAHK?

i was gonna just go ahead and root my Desire HD following online guides through google but that AAHK seems to be having bad things said about it.. i'm not sure, i dont understand half the things its saying

any help please?

Use the hack kit despite what you may have read.

By the way, wrong section. Read forum rules while you are at it.
Sent from a dream.

There will always be bad things said about every method - the internet is full of fools.
Despite the very crass nature of way AAHK's """effen""" (multiple quotes because I loathe that "word") manual, it does get to the point, and if you follow it then you'll have no problems,

Well, thanks to the AAHK tool, my phone is Semi-Bricked, and im having a hard time recovering it.

You messed up. Your fault. AAHK works perfectly if you read the manual twice before doing anything. If you go about using your own logic and pressing whatever you want then you'll mess up.

I read the efffen manual and did everything correctly, it restored to froyo but started freezing on the HTC splash screen
I got the phone working now anyways, albeit with an old radio

AHH you restore to froyo?? You are not very clever are you? Maybe you missed the part where it says not to flash a froyo RUU in a device running gingerbread..that is all over the forum and even in the guide in my signature. Also in the effen manual and in the Hack Kit site.
Besides, it does not exist such a thing as semi brick...or you are bricked or you are stuck...
To sum up, stuck at the splash screen is fully described in the troubleshooting section of the manual. What people need to know, is that the Hack Kit is not for the lazy noobs, being a noob is fine if you are wise enough to learn what does hacking your device needs and involves. There are lots of thread on that...even I have writen a guide to help noobs out. No one will do anything for you...IT IS YOUR PHONE, so do your homework and stop whining.

[Q] AAHK wont work?

I want to root my DHD. I had downloaded AAHK (zip file) few days back when the link was working and AAHK was not retired. Would I not be able to root and S-OFF my phone using AAHK now?

You can still S-OFF your phone.
After a while, the script might (if needed) try to download a PD98IMG file. When it gives an error simply google for the filename (might be PD98IMG-GB2 for example) and place it in the PD98IMG directory AAHK created. Everything should go well. I S-OFF'd my Desire yesterday.

Sorry KirovAir, but if the people you are advising to use the Hack Kit get stuck due to not following instructions or some other issue, will you support that? Because let me remember you that the Hack Kit is no longer supported nor here or in the IRC channel. Don't you think that what you are advising is dangerous and might leave quite a few fellas with their phones in a blank screen?

Thanks for the information!
I had also read about 'Easy Ace Root Tool' in dev forum. But I have a question regarding that.
- It says that only Custom ROMs can be installed, not Ported ROMs. What is meant by 'ported ROMs'? Will I not be able to install, say Sabsa prime or Venom's ROM(which are ported from One S and Desire X), if I unlock bootloader using Easy Ace root tool?
Also, does it support flashing 4ext recovery?

could you please tell me at least which version of aahk you used? already found in the web PD98IMG-GB2 and i am willing to do the proccess... already red many forums about rooting my desire hd. but since you did that proccess already i think you can give some reliable tips even if this topic is unsupported here. i know that discussing about aahk is unwelcome in the xda forum and i am sorry for this but i think you would agree that its the way with the most chances of success. or anyway could you suggest me any another way to follow?
thank you for yoour time

Unlocking the bootloader will allow you to flash any recovery that is for the device (DHD / Inspire 4G), Custom roms built from source (CM) and modified sense roms work great. Ported roms I am not sure, but you can try it out. In the worst case scenario, you might get stuck in the splash screen and you will have to flash a different one.

No, Hack Kit is no longer supported anywhere. If you are willing to do it, you are on your own and will have to find information about it somehwere else. There are other ways to root or S-OFF the device that are supported here. So, please let the Hack Kit rest in peace.

You don't need S-OFF to root. You can just run this and you will be just fine. You don't have to be a programmer to root your phone, just do a little reading and searching will suffice.
