Thanks for the post going to try it out
Gold card
if you have problem with cid you can make gold card (hacked mmc)
I'm not sure what your problem is but I also just rooted my phone. I tried using that one but couldn't get it to work so I ended up using the one on the xda wiki http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Vision and it worked perfectly! Just be sure to follow step by step.
Dont use the cyanogen root guide for the desire z use the downgrade from the forums

Hello,
Ive got a new Desire HD and I cant unlock it, its full of Vodafone crap at the moment and I would like to get rid of it.
I followed some steps to unlock/root it with a program, but no succes
Anyone knows what Im doing wrong? or could someone please tell me how this should be done properly?
Thanks in advance,
Ben
Follow one of the guides on custom Rom.
I am also a new user but now running the revolution HD. Read and follow the step by step guide, yes it will lead you to few other step by step guides but it is all essential steps. It took me an evening to get it set up.
iirc its obtain goldcard first, s off, then flash.
Good luck and take your time reading as it can brick your phone if done wrong! If you don't want the hassle dont do it! Just pay someone to unlock via imei.

Have a look in the development thread for the advanced ace hack kit. Read the manual and follow the instructions.

I used that myself with my DHD, It was sim locked to Orange UK but not anymore. Just take time and read everything about it and follow the simple steps.

Have you tried jkoljo's guides? They work like a charm, very straight forward and works as it should. You need to downgrade before rooting, then you have to option of going Radio S-OFF and flash whatever Rom you want.
jkoljo's guides:
How to downgrade to 1.32.405.6 WWE
Root and One click Radio S-OFF tool
you can contact your service provider
I am with Orange and I used the advanced ace hack kit.
In six minutes I was rooted and the sim was unlocked.
This is the easiest way to root ever,
I am now using BeatMod BlissSense 3.2 and it's smooth and fast, well worth a try
Advance Ace Hack Kit is recommended for you !! It dose everything that the phone needs within 15 min ..
You can try Simpleunlocking to get unlock code for your HTC Desire HD and get it unlocked from vodafone network..
Mate use the ace hack kit,when you make your goldcard do full wipe not quick format,I slipped up there first time haha what a year,still I'm rooted now all good

yes, you are required to downgrade as only 1.34 is rootable at the moment.
you'll get 15 different opinions regarding whether or not visionary is safe, but the general consensus is that it is okay to use to obtain temp root, but very risky to try and perma-root with it.
oke i started downgrading but i'm getting an error "Main version is older update failed" what did i do wrong?
EDIT: Nvm what i did wrong was the usb setting it should be Charge only
..
so did you get it to work just fine after downgrading ?
Using visionary is harmless. I constantly use it to root and unroot my g2. The method you may have come across could be slightly different than what I read so I would say compare similar facts between the two. I got my rooting info from here: http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/20/how-to-root-the-t-mobile-g2-htc-vision-visionary-method/ . Theunlockr has video tutorials posted as well as text tutorial. So using this method should help majorly.

does visionary still temp root htc desire z 1.82.. ? wouldnt work for me when i last tried )=
Hi, I'm a little lost on the site here..
I have been reading up on rooting my DHD and to be honest i dont know if its possible, if it can what rom do i use and what tools..
Andriod Version 2.3.3
HTC sense version 2.1
Software Number 2.50.405.2
Any help & advise would be great.
Thanks
It is possible. Everything you need is in my signature
So downgrade first, then do Radio S-OFF and optionally ENG S-OFF. Then follow the instructions in Radio S-OFF thread (first post) to flash ClockworkMod and finally a ROM.
ENG S-OFF can be done later, too, so you do not really need to worry about it at this point.
I would recommend Android Revolution HD because it is the most popular ROM for Desire HD.
Thank you very much for the quick response ill get to doing it now
After downgrading you can use this guide (Its by the previous gentlemen as well)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769
I also recommend Android Revolution HD
Just to confirm I downgraded and rooted yesterday using these guides. Was simple and a brilliant help couldn't have done it without them.

Nope I don't think its possible due to having to place the downgrade zip file on the SD card, and then there is the fact that if its branded you will have to make a goldcard.
Yes I am new to this myself so I apologize if i am wrong but just wanted to try and help you out.

Also think its not possible, after all if there was a way it would be in the guide (a safe way at least). You should wait for your card to arrive and maybe try and get a second card in case you need to make a gold card.
Need help with rooting my Desire Z. Its on 2.2.1, ive made a gold card and tried to downgrade many times. Though the bootloader doesnt find the PC10img. Ive tried using comands in fastboot and I get failure 42 custom ID chec
Any help?
Thanks
Which howto did you use?
Did you used this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
Down the first post is a tutorial to create the goldcard.
I had already had a goldcard, but remade it many more times since it wasnt working and it still isnt.
Use the guide appropriate for your phone.
Sent from a message in a bottle.
Ive used that guide too, its basically the same as the one linked above.
Well I tried a different SD card and it worked. Damn, should've done that first lol.

Okay,
All I want to know is the best way to perm root my HTC G2. I have google searched and went through forums on xda and a few other sites. And all it did was give me a headache. Lol If anyone can help me with this, Please get back to me via this post or pm me. Thanks for your time! >_<
The Wiki method. Here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
XDA User strawmetal had also done a detailed guide but I can't find it now.
The gfree/visionary method is another option that is pretty safe and easy, if you're still on 2.2. Not to be confused with the visionary perm root method.
The wiki method is the best way, but can be difficult if you don't know how to use adb. If you need to downgrade your phone, you'll have to learn adb anyway.
Please don't go anywhere near the Visionary tool. Use the method in the XDA Wiki. It might look confusing at first, but read it carefully and if you don't understand something then ask about it here, there are plenty of people who can help you.
There's a guide to setting up and using adb linked from my signature (if you are reading via a brower and not something like the XDA app).
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
Use the wiki method. It looks confusing but once you get into it it is not hard at all. Just follow the instructions to the letter.

Sweetness!
Thanks Guys! I will go with the wiki guide as I'm familiar with adb and I have 2.3.4, So do I downgrade?
Yes, you have to downgrade first.

How long should phone take to reboot after final step in gaining S-OFF
Have a quick question. Followed Strawmetal's guide for my G2, for both downgrading and gaining perm root. Got to final step both MD5#2 and MD5#3 checksums matched as they should. All previous steps matched also. So the final step then is type reboot. I did so, phone rebooted, but now 5 minutes later it's still on the "htc" screen. Impatient noob or brick?
It's not a brick if it displays anything ;P

I actually think I may have even done a battery pull around then... but I'm not quite sure and would not suggest it.
