is this even possible anymore?
Im hoping to sell on my HTC desire HD As i have just acquired an ARC S, so i want to UN-everything (unroot etc)
HOW??? the guides that are left are all too old and have broken links? and an RUU i tried doesnt want to connect
currently the phone is running blakcice CM7 so maybe i need to go to a sence rom first???
Don't you have a NAND backup from when you first flashed?
Use the hack kit. It has a return to stock option

I know that i sound like a broken record but bare with me for a bit.
to get froyo up and running on my device do i first root my device using that one click website(cant find the link anymore, does anyone know the link?) and then download whatever rom and compatible radio and just install it on my desire?
do i need to first make my htc desire unlocked/sim free? my htc desire is sim locked to t mobile.
thanks in advance
any suggestions? thanks
IF you want to go to the official FroYo 2.2 ROM you just need to make a goldcard and flash the official RUU file
IF, however, you wanna go down the custom route then you'd be best using unrEVOked as it roots your phone in one go (was extremely easy actually)
ok nice one. i dont need a unlocked desire thoughh innit?
Sup guys. I need help with rooting my HTC Desire HD, i want to use Unrevoken but i have a problem: in the compitable list it says htc desire not htc desire hd, does the hdh also counts as a desire? Thx guys and sorry for my bad english

Hi xOMG. I am not sure about Unrevoken, but as far as I know, the Desire HD actually can be rooted using VISIONary+ app.
The app has been removed in the Market. But you can go to this site and download the apk file for installation. http://android.modaco.com/content/software/320350/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/
You may consider downloading any file explorer from the market so that you can install the apk file. Read the steps carefully before you use VISIONary+. Do it at your own risks. Lol.
EDIT: Oh by the way, your English is not bad and its perfectly understandable. Really.
Cheers. =)
I tried V+ but it "Crashes" after the black screen, had to wait more then a minute, is that okay? Should i try it again?

I am at version number 1.8....
I need to downgrade to root. I was always of the understanding that my device was already rooted I have s-off and i just checked in bootloader.
I just want to know what is the best way to back up my data before hand?
So once i am rooted i can put it straight back on?
Yes. You have to have build number below 1.72xxxxxx in order you to use VISIONary+ to root your device. Else the rooting process will not work. I have my build number 1.32xxxxxx when I first bought my Desire HD. So it means I do not need to do any downgrading.
Pauly_k, in the first place, what are you planning to back-up? The stock ROM? If you are planning to switch to other ROMs, the app ROM Manager from the market, can be used as a tool to switch ROMs and also back-up ROMs. If apps and everything I would recommend Titanum Back-Up app.
When you do a Radio S-OFF and/or ENG S-OFF exercise, you do not need to on and off it back everytime. You can just leave it OFF all the time. It will not affect your device in everything e.g. performance. OFFing it allow you to gain full access into other area in your device such as to flash new radios.
Unless you wish you send back your device to HTC for say, warranty purpose, then yes of course you have to ON it back. Lol.
Cheers.
Hello everyone,
i would like to switch my Desire HD back to the delivery status. (No Root, S-on ...) because i want to give it to my girlfriend and she doesn´t need the special software.
I think i found a why to do the reset ( only in German:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/anleitu...sicherung-s-off-fuer-das-dhd.html#post1197635 )
My question is now: if i reset all, will i be able to make automaticle updates from htc? because i heard about a new update (i think sense4.0 and anroid 4.0) coming sone for DHD.
I hope someone can give me an answer or tell me how it would work
Thanks
Honestly there is no reason to go back fully son. I would just flash the 3.12.405 ruu. You will still get the ics update whenever it shows up.
But if you want son use the ace hack kits bact to stock option- though again not needed unless for warranty purposes

If there will be an ICS upgrade how could I upgrade to it without loosing root?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA
Yep! i also want to roll back to original ROM , but i dont want to loose root.
So know i want to know if it is possible ?

You can try ota rootkeeper from android market. It makes a backup from of the Su binary so you can restore root after ota(when and if ICS come to Desire HD).

Hello,
I just got my new HTC desire Z to replace an HTC Inspire as I missed having a physical keyboard. I'd like to run Energy's rom as I have previously on other phones, but looking around it seems as though this phone is more of a PITA. So I haven't even powered it on yet, but before I do, don't update the oem software, correct? I need to unlock and root before I do any upgrade?
Thanks in advance!
Brad
Here's the rom I'd like to run...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401560
Yep don't upgrade. If your phone already has upgraded firmware then you'll have to downgrade before rooting. Follow the wiki for rooting g2/dz found on xda, this is the safest way to do so and if you read first and understand the basics you'll be done in under an hour easily

Hi everyone,
I rooted my brother's HTC Desire Z from Bell by following these guides (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/HTC_Desire_Z:_Firmware_Downgrade_(Gingerbread), http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_vision). I rooted it for the sole purpose of being able to sim unlock and everything worked fine.
Now my only problem is, I don't know how to update from Froyo 2.2 to Gingerbread 2.3. I tried searching for software updates from the phone settings, but nothing turned up. I want to update it because some apps won't run on 2.2 and I don't want to use a custom rom because my brother will just get confused from the new ui and ask me a bazillion questions.
Also, the rom I am using right now is the stock rom of htc dz, but from a different country (I forgot to backup the original). Can anyone provide me the stock rom (rooted?) for HTC Desire Z from Bell (Canada). I don't think factory resetting it or hard resetting it will help cause the rom will remain the same.
One last question, if I unroot the phone and everything, will the phone remain sim unlocked?
Sorry for being a noob and thanks in advance.
Bump.

So you downgraded to 2.2 did you then use gfree to exploit and root?
Boot to bootloader and write everything from that screen down here
How exactly do I boot to bootloader? Is it Power + Volume Down? If it is, doing so only gets me to a screen searching for an image with the only choice being to update or not.

Take the sdcard out of your phone and try again
