Thank you.

You will find all you need in the stickies in development section. If you are new to this I would recomend that you spend some time reading before getting into it.
Good luck

It is few threads before u make this one.

It is quite difficult to root desire HD. It would be very nice if someone who knows how to do it, to make a CLEAR post from A-z. First downgrade? S-off? Adb errors? Gold card? It's a LOT of stuff to read out there about how to do it right but since there are many changes and updates since the first rooted phone, it would be nice if someone will do this from scratch.
Thanks in advance.

its not difficult either,
1. install visionary+ from android market.
enable debugging from settings> application >development.
on visionary press TEMP ROOT after it done (sometimes took 2 or more tries)
then press PERM root.
there u go u have permanent root htc desire hd (works only with 1.32.405 ver)

I suggest that you just do some reading and learn it. I have spent dozens of hours working on my guides and tools, and 99% of the people who are capable of reading, succeed in the process.
The guides cannot become any easier. Downgrade is your first step, follow the thread. Then there is a link to Radio S-OFF tool in the end of downgrade guide. Follow that link.. You get the point.

In short what you need to do...

I kinda understand where this guy is coming from. I'm fully confident on the actual root process, my problem lies in actual downgrading. Fair play it will take an idiots guide to get me rooted on my hd. Just wished it was as simple as my G1 was.
I'm aware of needing an sdk file to downgrade, but the guides here don't reflect on that.
In no way is my post meant to be or sound disrespectful in anyway. You guys here do an amazing job, you really do and I (as many others) here appreciate it 100%.
My reasons for root are solely selfish. I want root to allow for use of cachemate louder volume hack and hopefully better battery life.
In my G1 days I had to flash my fone like a whore flashes her pants, but that was just to keep he phone usable.

Thank you audiavant for more specific instructions.
Anyway last day I was stuck when trying to downgrade. I have HTC sync but not the desire sdk and maybe because of that, Adb was not working. I'll try again this evening, hopefully don't get a brick after that

This kind of post I was looking for.
Thank you again!

Stuck on HTC screen but never been rooted (S-ON)

So around 2 weeks ago I was using my G2 at a McDonald's and all of a sudden it turned off . . . Long Story short, it's stuck on the HTC screen. I can access Bootloader but doing recovery or factory reset does not do anything. I cannot access adb but I can use fastboot
Vision PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.82.0008
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.13.04.19_M
eMMC-boot

I also tried flashing several PC10IMG.zip files to no avail as each would end up with a "MAIN VERSION IS OLDER" error. I also made a GoldCard but have no idea how to properly apply it to the situation. Please I have spent 3 days working on this, I need help.

posting in more than one spot won't get you any more help, next time root your phone right away and many of these types of issues are easily fixed
you are unrooted and s-on so most things won't work
retry the goldcard and then follow the downgrade procedure found in setherios guide or the xda wiki on the vision
truthfully you may not have much of a chance here but if you want some real time help just log onto freenode and you'll know if you have a brick or not in no time
good luck!

It can allow you to downgrade to an exploitable hboot, thus is the first step in getting S-Off.

not at a computer right now but just google how to make a gold card, there are lots of guides. I think there is a link in the xda rooting wiki and/or the cyanogen one

[SOLVED (HELP)] Need help with downgrading

hi, I just got DHD instead of my old Desire, which I rooted with no problems. I am not novice, and I wouldn't ask you all for help, but i really don't know, how to downgrade it. I found some tutorials, BUT THEY DON'T WORK!!! I dont know why, but when i'm trying flashing PD98IMG.ZIP via bootloader, after checking PD98IMG.ZIP, it says "error, main version is older"... I have GOLDCARD and i have always follow the instructions!!! precisely!!!!!
When i try downgrade via cmd and adb, after checking those things, it says no # but $..and thats wrong!!!
visionary or gingerbreak dont work with this version, i think...
Android 2.3.5 ; HTC sense 3.0 ; software number 3.13.110.4 ; radio 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
please help me.

After some research, I found, that advanced ace hack kit is still ready to use. AAHK method worked fine for me.

Do you got S-OFF?

Try downloading one of the RUUs from here. Just boot your phone to the bootloader screen and plug it in then run the correct one for your phone. If you can boot into a ROM you can also do that, then plug in your phone, and run the RUU. It will give you all the instructions. BTW codename for HTC Desire HD/Inspire 4G is ACE. So get one of those RUUs:
Edit notice I can't post outside links cause I'm under 10 posts.
Just google "Shipped Roms HTC Ace"

There is no EASY way to achieve s-off as aahk is retired. But, if you are skilled enough, this is an ADVANCED method to achieve s-off - http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=411
Take note however that those method is unsupported, which means that no one is responsible to help you to understand it and help you along the process. Glevitan apparently is working on the automated s-off tools, so you can wait for it to be released. However, there is no exact time of when the tools will be released, and maybe it will never be, only he knows.
You can gain root however, using glevitan's easy root tools, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2169515
Make sure to read the thread carefully to understand how it works. :good:

GEEEE fi
Is Gfree v.2 alright to use to gain sec off ON A DEVICE RUNNING a JB kernel? (3.0.62_JellyTime_42_R5-g8e08b6e-dirty) ... or is easyradiotool v2.2 any better?
I have goldcard and simunlock/SU/root already

I have no idea what those tools are. If you just want to flash a custom ROM just flash a recovery.

lol, sorry, dude - PM'd you with an explanation... going back to square one.
