Hi,
I have a HTC Desire HD which I would like to root and flash with new software, as HTC is not providing the newest available software versions for download.
I have searched a lot on the forum, and also found several forum articles, but I am new to performing these steps for root and flash, so I am looking for a more detailed step by step guide... as it seems to be easy to forget something, when looking at all the information on for example this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231450
I have been told by an experienced developer that I need to do this:
1. Root S-Off + Eng SOff
2. Then install ROM Manager - and install all from there
But I have no clue how to do this root and steps for the rest as well.
I think that I would like to try this flash = BinDroid RUNMED2.5 V1.6 FINAL
from this link = http://xda.bindroid.com/custom-rom/runmed25.html
But how I root the phone and what else steps I need to do in what order is difficult to understand from the example link mentioned.
Are anyone of you able to provide me with a NOOB instruction step by step guide which explain in detail step 1, step 2, step 3 etc. - as I am afraid to destroy / crash my phone if I do not do it the exact correct way?!
Thanks a million in advance for your help!
Cheers,
Osukido
Read this thread.

Edit: use the ace hack kit to root your phone.
But before you try to root, read the effin manual 20 times - seriously. Once you are done reading it, read it a few more times. Seriously.
Then you can perform the steps in the link.

DON'T FLASH ENG S-OFF, if your phone was shipped with gingerbread. You will mess the bootloader. You don't need it anyway....for rooting and S-OFF use the Hack Kit, that is the only game in town...

Hi All,
I read the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=25497205 - but it explain what to do with a rooted phone.
Mine is not rooted yet, and the steps are not NOOB enough for me, and I cannot find link to the effin manual or step by step how to root and flash.
Is both the "BinDroid RUNMED2.5 V1.6 FINAL" - and Kernel download files from this link needed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231450 - or where do I find detailed step by step instructions.
I saw this description = "Perfect instructions are in the first post of the ROM thread"... but I do not know which post is the first in which ROM thread etc.
See... I am a clear NOOB, and need very detailed description on where to find information. Sorry mates.
Cheers,
Osukido
By the way - then my HTC Desire HD has these specs:
Android 2.3.5
HTC-Sence 3.0
Software number 3.12.405.1
Kernel system 2.6.35.10-g931a37e [email protected] #1
Baseband version 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
Versionnumber 3.12.405.1 CL199157 release-keys
Browser version WebKit/533.1
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

First, before you root your phone read and then read again. If you can't find the first post, well.... It's hard to put it nicely.
The first post of a thread will be the 1st post
It is the first page of a thread.
To root, use the ace advanced kit (which has a manual that explains how to use it called "the effin manual). It is easy to use, but at the same time you need to understand it. It was designed to make you get accostumed to reading. You will find almost any question you have right here on xda. It will be easier to search for a question using your computer instead of the xda app on your phone.
If this is still too difficult, ask a friend to help you - two heads are better than one.
One more thing. DO NOT FLASH A ROM FROM A DIFFERENT PHONE. STAY IN THE DESIRE HD FORUM.
There are a few roms where you need to install the previous version before installing the latest version.
Your first link took me no where.
You do not need those scripts. You can use them if you want.
Sorry if this is confusing, just woke up from a nap after a long night of drinking

How to Root HTC Desire HD

Hi, I have an Orange HTC Hero straight out of the box which I want to put MoDaCo 3.0 on. I am running through the helpful How-To guide but am stuck at the very beginning. Basically I need to know whether I have to downgrade the Hero so it can be rooted.
Here is what I posted on MoDaCo forums. I am sorry to repeat post but I don't want to break anything LOL
"Hi I just got my Hero out of its box ready to put MoDaCo 3.0 on it following the How-To guide.
The first part of the guide says "If you have Firmware 2.73.x.x. OR HIGHER, you MUST DOWNGRADE FIRST (this typically applies to Orange handsets)
To check your firmware, do the following :
Start Settings
Click About Phone
Check the Kernel Version"
My Kernel Version is apparently 2.6.27-a5504199
My build version is 1.76.61.3 146733 CL#46012 release-keys
Software version is 1.0.0.A6288
Based on this do I need to downgrade in order to root?"
Thanks guys
Hi byakkotai, i did not downgrade my htc hero but able to root/backup/flash crom. i fail to make my goldcard , maybe my sd card cannot make goldcard.
so i juz try rooting & was able to & i go to recovery img & backup my hero & flash modaco crom.
Its the build version you have to look at.
I did do a HTC update to the new build 2.73.xx.x and then I got really stuck, so I think you 1.76 looks good, you can double check if there is any problems around that build, but I don't think so.
If you'r not sure about the build no. Look here @ downgrade guide from theunlockers.com.
If you want a way so simple you can't do wrong follow the one click root guide from theunlockr.com.

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?
What you guys need to do is read, and follow closely, all of the information contained in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079108
I hope it answers all (or at least most) of your questions.

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

i first made the official update to gingerbread (from carrier) and then made the downgrade to 1.34...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
for perm root i used the wiki guide
Thank you for the information.
It worked.
First upgrade to 2.3.5 and then use the tut to downgrade to 2.2 build 1.34.
Second used the tutorial to root compleet and putting superuser on mob.
Third i flashed clockmod on the mob.

I'm a little late but hope u'll excuse...I'm glad that it worked for you.. I also read many guides and took parts from many and posted everything on my blog so that it'll be easy for ppl new to rooting..(i had a hardtime looking through different sites..phew..) you check my blog at www.desirez.strawmetal.com
Hey everyone!
So I have searched the forums and I have found nothing on rooting the Telus DHD with 2.3.5? I don't know if the Advanced Ace will work because I'm in Canada? I also have read that it wont work with my current DHD or i need to downgrade? iunno, I'm confused. I'm relatively new to the whole "rooting" thing and I have been satisfied with the DHD until now. I was using Go launcher EX so my phone was alright, now im just bored and looking for an upgrade.
If there is already a forum can someone please point me in the correct way. I have tried to download some of the files here including the stock rom file....

The Hack Kit is the only working tool to gain S-OFF and as you read your phone will be downgraded first to achive that (done by the Hack Kit). Use the guide in my signature to find the infromation you need and if you have doubts, visit the thread in my signature. :good:

but can somebody give me the full instructions step by step how to do that cuz im a noob in that.
my android version is:2.3.5
and if i do something wrong what can happens?
Search for Advance Ace Hack Kit on Google. If not, look in the Desire HD General section for Ace Think Tank and look there, the team over there (me included ) will help you out
Sent from my bitten Desire HD using ViperDHD & xda
Yes, first get AAHK, unfortunately it has been removed from XDA, you you must google for it. I have made a small guide on rooting and backing up apps prior to flashing new ROMs, might shed some light too: http://projects.lanik.org/AndroidProjectROMs.htm

The ONLY working tool is the Hack Kit as everybody said. Find it here: http://tau.shadowchild.nl
As long as you follow the instructions in the Site and in the effen manual and your phone has no hardware issues, you will be fine and nothing will happen. The Hack Kit has been used thounsand of times successfully. You even have an IRC support channel in case you get stuck, besides the thread that Guy told you. :cyclops:
before you use the hack kit, be aware that it will downgrade your os, root it, s-off, and delete all user data.
i CANNOT STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF READING THE EFFEN MANUEL.
