1. Think this should be in Q&A?
2. Can you say what is going wrong? Error message?? Brick??
I had problem too with installing new recovey via unrevoked, going from amon-ra to clockwork.. Had either message that it could'n enter Nand or that connection was lost previously.. Haven't solved it yet..
--> You could also try via terminal, see unroot topic above...
Good luck.

I couldn't get it to work for a while (I was already rooted & S-Off but I was trying to update ClockworkMod Recovery because my ADB wasn't working) eventually I managed to get it working by installing HTC Sync (even though it says not to). The new one wouldn't work at first but I found a link to an old version (2 I think) then updated to the newest version Got everything working now

ofcourse,
unrevoked says:
Internal error: installing package failed
Recovery image: ClockworkMod Recovery
But i believe that ROM manager, already has installed ClockworkMod Recovery athoug i don't have root acces yet
(already have ROM manager installed)

Maybe you don't have enough available space in internal memory. I also had the same problem and I was at 18 MB free space. I freed then some space and it worked, because it installs something temporary before the phone restarts.

that could be, I only have 14,93 mb of free space.
Going to try it know.

It worked, he is now rooted, i think
at least unrEVOked said it was done.
And ROM manager dosn't give the message anymore that it can't get root acces.
thank you
he is defintly rooted, already backup my current ROM.

i try it in the same way and i was having same configuration, First y downgraded to 2.1 stock and the work like charm unrevoked

nice! I'll try that too then!

A copy and paste from another thread I posted in not ten minutes ago.
Wrong forum, post in the Q&A section.
Read this.
And read THIS.
In short:
We are writing this because, like a lot of people, we constantly worry about the quality of posts on XDA. Some people suggest to us that quality has been deteriorating (or rather, the number of junk posts have been increasing), and honestly, maybe those people have a point.

how to root gingerbread
hi everybody,
forgive me if I' writing in the wrong place but for me has been enough difficult to get here..
I'm a rookie android user and I've been flying over the forums for the last three days, I'm really getting crazy.
Here are the specifics of my phone (branded):
android version 2.3.3
kernel version 2.6.35.10-gd2564fb
software number 2.50.405.2
and here's the problem:
I have purchased an AR drone and I'm trying to get it connected so I visited the following link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072281
seems that the first thing i need is a ROOTED Desire HD . I have tried every thing. Visionary (in different releases installed with ASTRO) seems not to be working. When i select Temproot now, after a while, the screen turns black. I waited for several minutes but nothing happened. So I needed to exit the program selecting "home". At that point it didn't allow me to rerun the app, I needed to reboot the phone to get it working again but no success.
So I tried GINGERBREAK 1.2 but after 25 minutes the rebooting process was still going on and I guessed that something was not working properly (as usual), so I stopped it. I think there is also a problem with Superuser (v 2.3.6.3), infact when I try to update it, it says "an error occurred and su was not updated. A zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sdcard, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary" (by the way...sorry for my inexperience, but what does "flash something" mean????).Anyway, my phone doesn't reboot on clockwork recovery.
Moreover, upon opening Rom manager (v4.3.2.4) it tells me that I must root my phone to get it working (of course) and that it cannot find Superuser at "system/bin/su" or "system/xbin/su". Guess what! I don't have such files on my phone.....
At this time i don't know what else I can do, I'm relly frustrated.
Can anyone help me out? keep in mind that if you have any kind of solution, I need some very "plain" explanation like if you were talking to your 5 years old son, please
Thanks

If we update with software number 2.50.405.2 can we root?

No, firmware > 2.37 cannot be rooted.

Thanks for the info, I guess I have to get rid of my AR Drone

I wonder as well with my DHD on 2.3.5. I triedSuperoneclick 2.3.3 ... it runs through and says it's rooted ... but it isn't ;(

I also tried triedSuperoneclick. Just seemed to not complete after step #7 on my PC.

[GUIDE] Downgrade from 3.13 (Sense 3.0) roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424023

I downgraded to the previous official HTC Desire HD Rom ... rooting worked after that, Now it's happily running ICD 4.0.3. Did that useing the Ace Hack Toolscript.

I tried AAHK, but it didn't like my build number for some reason. Good to hear you got yours working too.
So much faster without all the vodafone bloat on there. Boot time used to be so long that I would fear a reboot. Also running is so much faster.

Tried the newest Ace Hack? Has a newer version number, maybe it helps. It did hack my DHD with 2.3.5.

Hi , I have been having the exact same issue as you, tried most things with no luck, was wondering if you have had any success

Can those failing to root please specify which version of aahk you are using?

You have to downgrade so you'll be able to s-off, because with s-on you can't have perm root. I don't recommend you to use Ace Hack, i think misc_version method is pretty much safer, but remember you have to read everything (radio version!!!, hboot,....) in order to prevent any hard brick.
You don't need perm root you just need temp root (using superoneclick), although
you have to change the misc_version to the Ruu software your are using to downgrade (i.e 1.32.405.6). Do md5check for all downloaded files.
Good Luck.

The only working tool to root and gain S-OFF is the Hack Kit. You won´t find it here but is a matter of search only.
Unlocking the bootloader with HTCDEV is useless and besides, you leave track and therefore you might lose warranty....The hack kit works for your build, but needs to be downgraded first. Just read a bit more in the effen manual....:good:

You could try modacco visionary. I cant say it would work on the DHD, but since you are so desperate in rooting your DHD which has a defective volume rocker.....you give it a try.
I mean it worked on Mytouch 4g running 2.2. And the Mytouch 4g and the Desire HD basically have the same chipset and also share some features. Thats why devs mostly port from the Mytouch 4g and devs from the Mytouch 4g port from the DHD. So as i said you can give it a try.
But i am not responsible for what happens to your DHD.

[Q] Root with USB port failure

Hi guys, I have a HTC Desire and I want to root it. I have already do it with other Desire but this one have an USB port failure, it is break and I can't plug on a PC.
So, do you know an application like Z4ROOT or Universal Androot for a HTC Desire 2.2, please ?
Thank you

Visionary
see this guide part 11

Thank you, but I've tried it and after the warning message "rooting device, please wait" in Visionary, I have a black screen. I waited for more than 5 minutes and it's the same black screen.
An idea for this ?
This phone is S-ON, can this be a problem ?

what software version you running?
or you can try this... It is about usb brick but you can get temp root in terminal then install superuser, no idea if it is working this way(as i did not try it, i have my phones s-off, easier way to sort out problems)... but you can get temp root with rageagainstthecage, saved my usb brick on 2.29.405

On the official topic, several people have the same problem like him and others below : android.modaco.com/topic/320350-19nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/page__st__240__p__1611566#entry1611566

did you update your phone recently? even unrevoked has this problem with new software which came out recently... what is cause of your non working usb?

Thanks for your help.
It was not my phone before yesterday and it seems that the Sofware number 2.29.405.14 came out in December 2011... Maybe this is it, but on the official topic of Visionary, people have this problem in february 2011 and before.
About the USB, it's not a software brick but a hardware problem, the connector is break on a corner.

it could be related some OTA update made it non working... tried that rageagainstthecage method?

I will study it, thank you

I managed to downgrade to version 2.29.405.2 and I have my phone temproot with Visionary. So I flashed the recovery with ROM Manager successfully but when I restart in recovery I only have a red triangle next to a phone and a freeze...
A solution to this, please?

Don't use ROM manager(it is causing more trouble than it is worth, mine experience + a lot of others)... try to use 4 ext recovery updater/control from market as you have a root

[Q] Getting a working ROM by HTC Dev BL or other method

Hiya! Thanks for checking out this thread
Okay, at first I wanted to get from Android 2.2.1 to 2.1 because I wanted an app to work (Skype on 3). I found out that just installing a different version of Skype on 3 made it work for FroYo. I want to root and s-off and flash an ICS rom to my Wildfire safely, but I get an error. Can anyone advise me with a way to do this, or change my phone to a H3G stock version?

HBoot: 1.01.0001
S-On
I've tried to root. I can't root using revolutionary, because I get the error "Bad Blocks, cannot write to mtd 0x00040000". At least, that's what I remember. My phone is Pre-owned and I don't think I'd send it back anyways. I really don't want to risk breaking this phone!!
I used this thread for downgrading my HBoot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132028 ( Could this be used to make my Wildfire H3G 2.1/2.2 Stock again? )
I then used this thread for trying to get Android 2.1 back: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921752 ( But, it didn't work. This also gave me MTD Bad Block errors )
Everything else works fine as far as I know. I somewhat like all the 3 nonsense, but it's all gone now D:
To avoid writing a longer story, I'll just end it here and hope for the best! :fingers-crossed:
