[Q] Rooting 1.37 DHD

I've just upgraded to a HTC Desire HD (from a HTC Hero with FroydVillan). I've checked the Android Development forum and that talks about downgrading from 1.72/1.75 to 1.32.
My DHD (from 3 in the UK) is running software number 1.37.771.3.
I've decided to try out VISIONary, and have used the Temproot option (as it seems pretty safe to try out). I've done that and Superuser is in my apps list. However, I can't remove any pre-installed apps (like Amazon MP3 or the installed games you have to pay for).
Do I have to do anything else to uninstall these apps, or does this just mean that the temproot failed?
If it's the latter, then can I use the same method as downgrading from 1.72/1.75?
Thanks in advance.

From what I've been reading you need to be fully rooted eng s-off radio s-off and supercid which unlock your phone from 3 branding altogether and gives you full potential of your phone
You may need to create a goldcard to do it best bet to search forums for it
To remove the apps you will need root explorer to remove them from the system/apps folder but a better option would be to flash a new Rom with them removed already and been tweaked to give you improved battery life for example I'm running leedroid 1.4.1
E=Mc2

Thanks for the tips. I've successfully rooted my DHD and flashed Leedroid.

Hey, I am in the exact same position,
could you tell me how you rooted your DHD,
Did you have to do a downgrade?
A link to a guide would be very much appreciated,
(Btw I have temp rooted with Visionary +)
Thanks for any info

[Q] DHD rooted using Unrevoked3

I have rooted my DHD using unrevoked3. I have super user permissions app, and clockwork mod recovery. Then I read that you can't install a custom rom without S-OFF. Do I still need to do the Visionary+ w/DHD eng script?
I thought my DHD still had S-ON but now I don't think I could have clockwork without it being off.... I'm confused.
Anyways I did go ahead and attempt the Visionary+, but perm root doesn't seem to do anything. I could probably skip that step I guess. The DHD script complains about busybox not being installed which is probably done during the perm root of visionary. I then installed Titanium Backup and did the check errors function and installed busybox. It said it installed, but terminal emulator still complains about busybox.
Confused. Can anyone help me?

btw if you have rooted using unrevoked and have clockwork mod installed, you dont need to s-off to flash a rom, you already have write acess to the nand in recovery

How did you do that using unrevoked on DHD?
or you remove nandlock only with unrevoked and root with visonary ?

Something isn't right here. It isn't possible to root dhd with unrevoked

Someone Swyped my idea.

Further information on Unrevoked & DHD
I seem to be having the same problem as the OP.
A bit of background: I just upgraded from my HTC Hero, and had some experience of rooting and installing custom ROMS on that device. My first job when I got my new HTC Desire HD was to get it rooted so I could get all Orange's crap off of it and have a streamlined new phone.
However, in my haste, I used Unrevoked, failing to notice the difference between a bog-standard HTC Desire and the newer HTC Desire HD. The upshot: Unrevoked *did* succeed in rooting my phone and installing ClockworkMod Recovery, but now the recovery partition thinks it's an old-fashioned HTC Desire and so won't install DHD ROMS. I can install bog-standard Desire ROMS to my heart's content.
So, I'm in a bit of a mess. I want to install a DHD ROM on my DHD, but I can't. Also, now that I've already gone through one rooting process, the standard procedure doesn't work, so I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to proceed. Any advice would be appreciated. Should I:
- try to get the phone back to its unrooted condition as it was when it came out of the box (in which case how do I do that?)
- flash a different recovery partition in the hopes that I can get it to recognise that my phone's a DHD and not an old standard Desire?
- fiddle about with the ROMs to get them to bypass the device checks (in which case how do I do that?)
Any other suggestions, let me know. It's possible I may have stumbled on a new method for rooting a DHD...

To fix it, just flash 1.32.405.6 RUU.
But I have to say, that is not possible
Desire ROMs on DHD, without S-OFF, everything is just simply wrong. Are you even sure that you have a Desire HD? Please send me a picture of your Desire HD running some Desire ROM.

oops
OK, it appears that there's a much simpler solution. Orange appear to have sent me the wrong phone.
Sigh...

Hahhahhah, good job Orange

ok, so to Orange's credit, I've sent back the wrong phone, and they've sent me the right one, next day delivery, having knocked 40% off the original price. Looking forward to playing with it this evening - I won't be touching Unrevoked with a barge-pole!
thanks @jkoljo for alerting me to the possibility that I might have been sent the wrong thing!
we get there in the end...

Very nice, good luck with your new phone

[Q] Hope little Localized help to root htc wildfire

Hello I need help I am the happy owner of a htc wildfire (android 2.2.1)
would like to root it but how do you do just that.
would be cool if you could install android 2.3 on it.
do not know whether it is possible
hope someone can help me with it
thank you in advance
from Jakob

Search this forum before posting. There's even a thread just a few posts below yours titled Noob Guide To 2.2.1 or something like that. Surely that will answer your questions no?

You have to get s-off first. You have to find somewhere that has xtc clip to do this. Then you need to find somewhere on the net a stock RUU to downgrade to android 2.1 and set the bootloader version to 0.80. You can then use unrevoked to gain root. This may not work with version 3.3 of unrevoked, if so find a copy of unrevoked 3.2 on the net. This version may hang at 'rebooting into recovery' but at this point the phone is rooted and you can close down unrevoked and reboot the phone from recovery. I did all of the above 2 days ago so I can assure you it works.

As said previously you can't root via a software method (unrevoked)
you do need a XTC clip but had my device rooted by a shop in England via a postal service, which was reasonably priced.
You needn't downgrade the boot loader as previously mentioned, can be confusing difficult and there's no need. Simply install clockwork mod recovery, install the rooted ROM you like and voila you are done!
if you need any more answers feel free to ask there's plenty on threads answering the same question.

[Q] htc wildfire unrevoke stuck

ok this is my problem i have followed ALL the steps in the tutorial to root my wildfire
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035
htc sync is NOT installed
i have successfully gained s-off using revolutionary, but when i use unrevoked (3.2 [the provided one] or the latest 3.32) my phone goes through all the stages, reboots and unrevoked says "waiting for root..." and stays just stays like that. my phone doesn't have the super user app nor root access (i tried using a root access required app)
i have followed multiple sites, spent over 8hours trying to do this, with endless web searches with no success.
so is there a way to fix unrevoked or is it possible to get a pre-rooted android 2.2.1 with htc sense for the wildfire

Did you already install Clockworkmod Recovery via Unrevoked when it asked you to? If Yes, you need not follow that guide anymore. Follow this post:
http://joel5121.blogspot.com/2011/06/wildfire-22-root-tutorial.html
Look at the title
- Rooting Your Phone
If you have not installed Clockworkmod via Revolutionary while getting S-OFF, then you will need to look at 2 points from the above link
- Clockworkmod Recovery
- Rooting Your Phone

thanks a lot mate, i used the gingerbreak app, since i knew i had already had s-off, and that it looked easier
