You can't root on 2.2.1 without S-OFF (to have S-OFF U must have a root). We must wait for solution.

hi!!!and welcome!
i recommend to you that read about it in the ANDROID DEVELOPMENT FORUM in this order you can find it in the XDA BROWSER, okay?
1-how to DOWNGRADE and root my dhd...
2-how to do a RADIO S-OFF, ENG OFF,& SUPERCID
3-How to flash a new recovery (clockworkmod)CWM
4-in this step you must to select a rom for flash into your phone
but this is soo personal thing..every people wants different features and things of the different roms i recommend that you taste a lot... COREDROID LEEDROID, ANDROID REVOLUTION HD,MIUI, CYANOGENMOD7, are cool customized roms to try.
then... you can flash new kernel...new radio....
look at for this in "dhd radio thread" or diferent threads of kernels in android development forum.

2.2.1 means that you have "froyo android version" and 1.75 is the number of the build...
ready atention.. you must to downgrade since 1.75 to 1.32 for you can root your device...because your device is actualized via OTA since 2.2 to 2.2.1

for instructions on rooting your phone go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003

[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.

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?

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

[Q] Am I really stuck with 2.3?

I Have a HTC Desire (99HKZ011-00) with came with android 2.2 , with I upgraded to 2.3 manually via HTC sync (official update, but not OTA).
Now I would like to run a custom ROM, so I started searching this forum. I noticed that all ways to root my phone didn´t work, so some more searching. It seems that because my Hboot version is 1.02 I´m stuck with my stock rom? is this really the case? Is there any way I can downgrade to stock 2.2? and then root my phone?
Any info would be highly welcome!

I'm not experienced enough to help you with your problem.
However, I can point out to you that you'll find better answers to your question in the forum that's meant for questions.
Cheers!

Is the title of the thread anyway related to what you wrote? Also, if you weren't 'noob' you would have most likely found out the reason why you can't flash any JB (sense) ROMs.
Anyway, if you want to flash any of the sense JB ROMs aka Android Revolution HD, Insert Coin etc. forget about it - your phone is branded and you got to wait for an official update.
Just in case you ask, no, there isn't a way to unbrand your device.

What has this have to do with LeeDroid?

ok thanx, i thought the cid might have had something to do with leedroid

ahh ok, any idea when the update is due, and do i need to be stock to recieve it.

Attention successfully acquired.

touchy guys ouch, i wrote leedroid because i thought that my cid was generated by the rom. and the reason i couldnt get jb was because of this rom geeeees lol.

Then you should've read the multitudes of FAQ's on our phone that CID is pre-determined at manufacture.
