[Q] Gingerbread ROM - Desire HD 2.2 (new system update)

Is it safe to root my Desire HD? (Will i loose all my games, apps contacts etc?)
Also, If i were to use this Where would i start. On a mac.
I have no knowledge of how to root, or even what a root is, i have looked around but i have googled, quite a bit , still no luck.
1. Whats clockworkmod. Is it a program, etc?
2. What exactly does root do, is it like Jailbreak in iOS?
3. Hm, is there a noob proof guide?, Like with everything explained, even like, how to double click?!
4. I think you get the idea, Im a designer not a hacker
Any help is warmly greeted.

1. ClockWorkMod (or CWM) is a custom recovery, that allows you to flash unsigned (custom) ROMs.
2. Root gives you r/w access to your system files and superuser access to your phone to modify system settings. It's not exactly like a jailbreak because Android (unlike iOS) gives you the freedom to install non-market apps without root.
3. jkoljo's one-click s-off thread gives you easy and understandable guide and tools, but it's for Windows. I don't know if there is a tool similar to that for a mac. Actualy the only thing for which you need a computer, is the S-OFF. It's not required for root, but is for installing CWM.
There is one important thing which you need to know before proceeding. That's the version of your software. If it's 1.32 then you can root your phone straight away, but for 1.72 you have to downgrade first. There is a sticky in the dev section of the forum for that (never used it myself).
EDIT: Rooting does not remove any games, contacts, etc.

Soo, I'm on 1.72.405.3
Also, could this block visionary from appearing in the market?

Download visionary r14
Paste visionary file to SD card. From Market download any file manager and install it.

Im trying this now, I hope i dont have to downgrade for a temp root right?

Hm, Visionary + seems to work,
But terminal emulator keeps giving a "Permission Denied"
And VNC Server Crashes (Shows black screen for ~5min and then says force close)

When U have permroot download this: One click Radio S-OFF
when U have Radio S-OFF then download from Market Rom Manager free and press Flash ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.3. Download Gingerbread rom - paste on SD card. Reboot to CWM recovery. Make backup curent ROM. Find on forum file "FULL WIPE 1.2" flash it. At the end flash the Gingerbread ROM

YAY Understandable guide!
Hm, when i had temproot my phone speed dropped to about 10% of what it usually is, it was really laggy. Is this normal on a temproot?
Hmm, Didnt work. No root options avaliable, gave me a black screen.
heres what i did.

When I press power button and down button, I can see "SHIP S-On"
Is this different?
Can I still follow the guide in your link?

nm8 yes you have S-ON so you can't install any modifited files (Recovery, ROM, Radio etc)
Follow the instructions: One click Radio S-OFF

[Q] Can I Root Desire HD Running Gingerbread Already?

As the thread title, is it currently possible to root / install a custom rom on a HD running the official OTA Gingerbread release?
I have a vodafone branded HTC Desire HD (not locked to any network though) - and have recently upgrade to Gingerbread via the OTA update.
If it is possible, a link to the procedure / downloads would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance...

No, You need to downgrade first, search forum.

Yea ofcourse you can ... GingerBreak is what its called...
Here you go: LINK
Read the WHOLE POST, and make sure you have the required specifications needed to use gingerbreak.
:::I personally havent used this, but in the link i gave you, some people said that v1.2 worked with the desire hd. You can go and read some user comments (or alternatively use the "search" to search for posts with desire hd in it, and see their feedback)

Yes . But if your build version is 1.84 you'll have to downgrade before you can root / install a recovery .

Here's an easy guide for downgrading ( Even I followed it.)
[GUIDE] How to downgrade 1.7x/1.8x/2.x to 1.32.405.6 by jkoljo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003

I did it! I was up till 4.45am last night (this morning) rooting my phone and installing custom rom (its bloody addictive aint it)
The only snag I hit, was the first step to create a gold card (I have a branded Desire HD)... I used this procedure...
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
When it came to running the following command
adb shell
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
it failed! It wasn't until I did considerable research, that someone suggested changing to mmc4... which worked.
Everything else... vision, radio etc worked perfectly.. now the proud owner of a HTC Desire HD running Android Revolution HD

You have to downgrade first

Woooot!

To be completely honest, when I first got my HD, I vowed not to root it, due to the hassle of the initial procedure, not to mention loosing the convenience of OTA updates and the potential of voiding warranty. It wasn't until I stumbled across this community by accident, did I see the sheer diversity of options / roms / hacks etc, that it became too enticing not to root

I rooted my DHD just 2 days back, and i got to say, anyone using unrooted device is missing a whole bunch of cool things.

Can you sum what you do for root your device please?
And for the screen, you can use the SDK (ddms.bat) if your phone is not root

Hi I'd be very interested how toy did it on gingerbread as well. I get kinda temproot and a problem worth the sd card only? Most people think that it does not work with gingerbreak on dhd?

Rooting*the HTC Desire HD (GingerBread 2.3.3)
Hi gcarter,
I'm trying to root my HTC Desire HD after upgrading it to GingerBread.
Here is my system information.
Android*version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense version: 2.1
Baseband version: 12.54.60.2SU_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel*version: 2.6.35.10-gg0956377 [email protected]#1
Compile date: Tue Mar 29 06:10:15 CST 2001
Firmware*version: 2.36.163.13
Navigator version: WebKit/533.1
I'm able to get temporary root using GingerBreak. But I did not manage to go further. In order to help the rest of the world to get out of the @Secuflag HTC jail, I'm wrting all the steps in sites.google.com/site/arabic4android/root-htc-desire-hd[/url] and would like to come with a completely safe solution for me and the others.
If you can help me describing exactly the original ROM you were using and the commands you used, the links you visited, as much as you can, I'll be very grateful.
Thanks,

Hello guys.
I've been reading through this forum for the last week, trying to downgrade my DHD but I think I'm doing something wrong, I'm getting really pissed off right now.
I recently updated via OTA:
Baseband: 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
Build Number: 2.36.405.8 CL47853
I jusr can't downgrade, or root without downgrading.
Do I even have to downgrade? Since my FW is pre 2.37?
Even so, when I try to downgrade, i do the adb thingy in the cmd, everything goes well, I get the # thing at the end when I type su and so on.
But, when I turn off the phone and reboot it into a bootloader, nothing happens, no update process, it just sits there in bootloader.
Why is that?
I've made a goldcard using GoldCardTool (i used MMC0 instead of MMC1, there was no MMC2 option, just 1 and 0).
-I enabled debuging
-switched to charge only
-my phone is fully charged
-I even made a factory reset prior doing all of this
I've also tryed rooting without downgrading.
Gingerbreak puts superuser on the phone, i think I get temproot (when I type SU in terminal emulator, # appeares), but as soon as i restart the phone, superuser is removed.
Visionary+ goes to black screen, and I don't understand why since my FW is prior 2.37 (I know you can't root those yet, or downgrade).
And even if my FW is too "new", why can't i downgrade? It just won't start the update process when I reboot to bootloader.
Everything else I do in cmd with adb goes well.
Recently I had HTC Hero, and I think it took me about half an hour to root it, simple and easy (it was my first HTC), so I really want to root my DHD, but it is turning into a nightmare.
Please, what am I doing wrong?
Thank You.
EDIT: I've tryed with AMT now also, it says my FW is not compatible, that I have to run gingerbreak first, then click downgrade in AMT.
Since GB cant temproot my phone, I did it with adb, got SU, clicked Downgrade in AMT, and it reports that I have permroot Permissions, that my device's number has been set to 1.00.405.1 and that I can proceed with downgrade as normal.
So I've tryed going into cmd adb again, did the whole proces again, rebooted into bootloader and nothing! I'm going crazy now.

i hate when they do come back, but ask the same question right after you gave them a perfectly good answer.
everything is worse in paragraphs as well.

Please help me.
1. I was S-off.
2. Then I went flashed a recovery PC316img and went to stock. Then I downloaded the 4.22 GB update.
3. Now with the update we are locked out of the bootloader and you cant hit the volume down button and power button and pull up the boot loader. I even tried to to do the one click unrevoked and it wont let you go into bootloader sequence.
Am I screwed or is there a way to reflash to a previous version the 3.70 update? If so I will do it.
Here's my bounty. I will paypal 50 bucks to anyone who can help me flash to a previous version before Gingerbread so I can be unrevoked.
Thanks,
Mark
PS I was messing around with my phone and I was able to get it to go into some kind of Safe Mode that showed up on the screen and I even took pics of it. But I dont think that will help me...

Just flash the same PC36IMG you had to begin with. Put it on sd card, pull battery and then hold vol down + power.

turn off the fastboot option. it's somewhear in there so once you find it uncheck, and your boots will be normal speed (no longer superfast) but you can get into bootloader.

Go to settings, applications, and uncheck fastboot. Flash my linked file (amin_ra 2.3) from bootloader. Reboot into recovery and wipe and flash as you usually would.

Thanks guys. It worked. I unchecked fast boot, and was able to get to the boot loader screen and then flashed PC316img and it took me back three updates and then I simply updated to 3.70 and used Unrevoked and wireless tehther. I'll try to find a way to work out loading the new update and then adding unrevoked again and wireless tether...I just want to keep wireless tether I dont care about Gingerbread right now. Hopefully someone will come up with a way to load a form of GB without having to lose wireless tether and unrevoked....?

[SOLVED] Please help me root my G2.

..I have an S-Off T-Mobile G2 shipped from US ( I'm from India) and I need to get it rooted. I've been through many tuts on the internet but they are too complicated. The primary issue is I don't know where to start from as it is an S-OFF phone ie; it works on any sim. It would be very very helpful if anyone can help me by a step by step procedure to root this S.off phone.

On a G2 s-off means security off by hboot I don't think s-off means its unlocked to any career ....and if u have s-off go on theunlocker.com and look for perminant rooting the G2 using visionary and since u say u have s-off than all u have to do is use visionary to root..one click....be careful as visionary have chances of brick if u don't know what ur doing

I recommend the following TUTORIALtutorial from cyanogen wiki
I rooted mine with this method and everything went smooth. i heard visionary is not recommended so my advice would be avoid visionary. take a look at that tutorial and see.

* But i have upgraded to gingerbread & the VisioNARY app from modaco gives me this warning: " This application is no longer being updated and is only recommended for use on Froyo builds."
* i dont know what s-off exactly means ...but my phones unlocked and im using an indian carrier.

Go to this guide.
Run the 'Gaining Temp Root' and 'Temp-Rooting to Backup' sections only.
Enjoy root.

First, you can't/don't want to use Visionary. This is not effective to achieve root if you're running Gingerbread, and it can potentionally brick your phone.
Since you are S-OFF (Security Off) you should be able to follow this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
Since you already have S-OFF you should be able to just do the "Gaining temp root" and obtain permanent root. The root should stay because you are S-OFF. But I do wonder if you are really S-OFF because you said your phone "works with any carrier," but that does not mean you have S-OFF. That simply means you're SIM unlocked. When you boot into the bootloader (by pressing Power and Volume down) what does your phone say? The first line should say something like: VISION PVT ENG S-OFF

Okay I'm sorry if I'm sounding noobish but this is what happened.
* the 'Gaining temp root' section went all well and the device got exploited hence I exited adb shell.
* While doing 'Temp rooting for backup all the commands went well except the 'superuser' installation....it gave me the error 'INSTALL FAILED ALREADY EXIST'. Then i remembered that superuser was actually ther in my phone from the day I bought it but the app isn't responding.(still). So i skipped the step. But when I tried open titanium backup as the guide said... it wasn't able to get root access & asked to check whether my Rom is rooted.
[Q] Do I need to follow the further steps & downgrade from gingerbread to Froyo ??

It might be an old version of SuperUser, see if you can update it in the market.
If the fixsu.sh script finished properly, the SuperUser app should be the only thing holding you back from having root.

On market it was showing superUser installed hence I tried the SuperUser update fixer. When I open the app & try fixing it shows:
Checking Signatures.....fail

Extracting SuperUser.apk.......OK
Gaining root access........... fail!
"Try downloading and flashing an update.zip from androidsu.com"

uninstall the current SuperUser app you have. then use the one included in the zip.

No uninstall option!!

We could find the app and manually remove it.
Get temp-root, in adb shell:
Code:
cd /system/app
ls | grep user
That should ouput a name (Superuser.apk on mine, could be something like com.chainsdd.superuser.apk)
then use:
Code:
rm -rf <name of app>

Rock and a hard place since towelroot works on the m8. Still hoping he'll update sunshine to support the new m7 update since that route actually makes them money.

First of all, JCase said he wouldn't burn another ROOT until another phone needs it (btw, there is a working temp root on the M7, if you're not aware), not an S-OFF or booloader unlock. and second of all:

That's exactly what I said, nigh word for word. Temp root is pointless without the ability to S-Off. Only good news comes from that twitter post.

you guys are talking about 2 different things.
ROOT VS S-OFF
although there isn't a new Root method, firewater works for S-off on Hboot 1.57

don't you need to have root in order to s-off?

But without root, firewater doesn't work. ("SU or FU!" it says.)
So, they are pretty much interlinked, sadly.
And no, there is not a working root, temp or otherwise, for the Verizon M7 if you have the Sense 6 OTA. Towelroot does not work. WeakSauce does not work. "temproot" does not work. So, there is no way to S-off, unlock the bootloader, etc, etc. Basically, if you want to do anything such as install CM (which is what I want to do), you are S-O-L for the time being.

Actually using towelroot to temproot does currently work, but everything else is patched so that doesn't change the fact that Sense 6 users are still SOL

Didn't work for me. It acted like it did work, but using root checker indicated that root failed.
And yeah like you said, doesn't matter, still no way to S-off or unlock the bootloader, so ... stuck.

Yeah, tap the banner 3 times and then change the last 0 to 1? It acts like it works, but root checker says no root.
