[Q] How to root Desire HD ( Branded, Gingerbread 2.3.3) ?? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guyz i know i might frustrate some ones by posting this .. But i have searched many forums but i am still confused ... I want to flash my DHD with a custom rom but i have read in the forums that i have to downgrade and i also have to create a gold card because my set is branded ... Can i create a gold card without a Sd card reader ( Any way ?? ) ... And is there any way to Root my DHD without this Gold card ?? Thanks in advance and sorry because i know there are many post like this one before ..

Wanted to add one thing .. I am only saying that my mobile is branded because i can see the 3 mobile logo at the start up but it is not only restricted to only one network .. I am using this phone in Pakistan under different network .

Use the ace hack kit.
As for searching here's a tip I do. When I'm learning to root a new device first place you should look is the dev section. The newest/updated method of rooting tends to be very active and tend to stay on top of the threads. Sometimes this is better than Googling and getting bombarded with older methods

ACE
Yeah you should try ACE
I used it for the first time today and it took me some time but now i finally got it working

Well thanks guyz i finally rooted My device ..

Now i am facing another problem ...

I rotted my device .. Then i tried to flash Android Revolution HD v6.3.2 .. I did all the steps and the rom flashed successfully as well .. But when i reboot after flashing it always boot into the recovery mode and never lets me through to the rom ..

And because i don't have 10 posts, i can't post in that thread neither i can sen a message to any of the Android Revolution team member ...

BTW thanks guyz for your help .. Hope you could find a solution of that as well ..

In the mean time i am trying to complete my 10 posts ..

Was quite helpful this, so many different (old) options. Looking into this for a friend so need to be sure this tool shouldn't wipe all their data. That'd be awkward otherwise
cheers

[Q] How do I root my DHD? (2.50.45.2)

Hey, I´ve used the search tool, but couldn´t find anything.
I would like to Root my HTC Desire HD, so I can Install the new Android Revolution 6.x (Android 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 )
My Phone is currently running:
Android 2.3.3
Sense 2.1
Baseband Version 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel Version 2.6.35.10
Build Number 2.50.405.2
Software Number 2.50.405.2
My Phone has no branding!
Is rooting possible for me?
Can Someone please help me?
I am totaly new to rooting, so I would appreciate a step by step tutorial.
That makes two of looking for the same information, any help out there please
YES rooting is possible.
I rooted my Dhd about two weeks ago and all went well.
I spent about a week reading lots of different sites. All using different methods in the end I used a guide on driphter.com
Forum > Everything Android > HTC Desire HD/Inspire 4G > General Discussion > [GUIDE] Downgrade, Root, Radio & Eng S-OFF DHD/Inspire 4G in 9 Steps
if your unbranded you can skip the goldcard step.
i also had to download the PD98IMG using my phone and move it to the root (not in any folder) of the sd card using astro
the only other step i changed was to install visionary+ from blackmart alpha (google it. Its a blackmarket market) the install from the toolkit didn't work for me.
JSL is very good/quick to answer questions on that fourm.
Hope this helps.
What do I need S-Off for?
What does it do?
Thanks for the Help, Ill try it out...
(I hope I dont brick my phone)

You need s-off to flash new roms its an added security HTC add.
I think it stands for security off but i'm not 100% sure if anyone wants to correct me/let mr know please do.
I can´t download the ToolKit
Something seems to be wrong with the .zip file...
Any other way?

Could it be your Antivirus is killing the download? check to see if it is being held in Quarantine.
Take Care

I couldn´t find the mistake on my computer, so I just downloaded it with my phone ^^ ... Everything Else Went totally easy ^^
(I was a bit nervous ... I really love my Phone )
But I can now enjoy the amazing ROMs from the brilliant xda devs...and never have to wait for an update from htc again!
(htc should really thing about getting some of you guys !!!!)
Thanks for the Help with the threads

Just read this before you ask questions..

Hi all xda members, i just like to help you to solve your problems as fast as possible. Being answered correctly and being solved fastly and accurately.
I am putting this because i had found large number of posts in which people got in trouble, just because they havent asked their doubts correctly. Also not all phones have same specifications so that a common answer may not be applicable for every one to solve problems.
So its all about the way of asking a question in the forum. Please read and follow these whether you are posting a new thread or just in middle of a discussion.
Always read stickies before you post. They are put on top because they can solve most of your doubts, and they can help you to understand what you should/ shouldn't do.
Before asking a question please mention your wildfire specifications including.
Rom
Kernal
Radio
Hboot
S-on / s- off
Tweaks / coustomizations you installed.
Memory card partitions info.
Then you must explain what happened,when you try what.
Eg. My phone got boot loop error when i installed "xxxx script"
If you are trying to learn some thing never ask in parts, ask fully.
Eg. I want to flash a new custom rom, so from where i should start. And never ask like this ; "i cant instal xxxx rom in my phone. Pls help".
Just make intentions clearely.
Dont blame those who helped you for the reason that they asked you to do a thing and you have done some thing else, which may caused you some problems.
Always remember that a straight and clear question will always give you a staight and clear answer.
If you follow these ways of asking questions , i assure that you may not get into trouble.so folow these simple rules. Be happy.
Regards
Shah.

Where did you find Jikantru on the Wildfire Forums? ROMs are device specific so simply lifting a ROM for another device and expecting it to work or "make it work", in your words, is foolish.
Again.. thiz is not q/a thread. Pls dnt ask questions here. And those who wish to replay, pls dnt do it here..

Hi, firstly wrong thread, you should have openend up a new post in the Q&A section. Secondly you will need to go to your manufactures website here and find a way to make an acount, then you will need to go to support/service software and then download your stock rom, extract it and take the music app. then push the app to system/app on the phone, set the permissions to the same as everywhere else and then reboot. according to here post #7.
Also i would recommend asking for support on that thread, after reading it, as people here do not own your device

How to unlock MTS
I am having a MTS MTAG, its locked to support MTS sim cards only, when i bought the phone i took it to my brothers place ( In another city )
for unlocking that phone, he took me to the nearby shop for unlocking the phone, but now the phone (by mistake) got a hard reset and now its again asking for MTS only sim card, no one knows in my towwn how to unlock mobiles ( small town) and the person in my brothers town closed his shop and left, I would have simply used an MTS card but MTS stopped his service in my state, so please tell me how to unlock it ( i think i will be able to do it on my own if i know the procedure). AND if it helps its a CDMA device. When i turn on the phone its asks me to insert mts sim and without it can cant operate it. PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!!!

I would've posted links but it's not so simple on app, also if you can't be bothered to search and read on complex topics, which might result in you destroying your expensive phone, maybe you shouldn't be undertaking them.
What's wrong with today's society is people expect everything handed to them on a plate, with little or Jo effort on their part.

+1. I agree. People can't be expected to be spoon fed all the time. Just search it! It's that simple.
What else could we expect from a user (OP) whose nickname seems mispelled?
