[Q] advice rooting dhd running 2.3.5 and vodafone uk - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'll apologies now if this has been answered but I have not found it.
Im wanting to root my DHD but am confused with all the different options and upgrade this and downgrade that etc. I've read post saying downgrade the radio, install RUU etc but really don’t know what, why or when I need each bit. Below are the versions etc of what im running.
Android 2.3.5
sense 3.0
software 3.13.161.3
kernel 2.6.35.10-g931a37e
baseband 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
build 3.13.161.3 CL208029
Which tool is best and how do I know if I need to downgrade, S-OFF (ENG S-OFF) etc
I have seen a post from someone on 2.3.5 and they were told to install RUU
sorry if its all same old but there are some many people say to do it all different ways im confused
Thanks
EDIT: reason for this is poor battery life and was told stock HTC would help or even a none HTC to remove sense would make it loads better. True or not I don't know

[Q] Telus Desire

I have alot of respect for Communities such as this, but gotta say the information for the Desire seems to be all over the map. I'm have a little trouble navigating to find info I need.
I have just recieved a new Telus Desire. Pretty sure it is the SLCD version as I see no mention of AMOLED on the packaging.
Firmware version 2.1 update1
Baseband 32.41.00.32u_4.08.00.09
Kernel 2.6.29-e5576724
build 1.29.661.1
Would like to root and get Froyo installed. Seems to be lots of discussion on what works and what doesn't depending on if you have a UK version, an AMOLED version etc. I have no problems reading, but if someone can point me to the information that applies to my specific phone would probably leave me with alot less questions than if I start building my knowledge for rooting around an AMOLED UK version of the Desire that's not even going to work with my handset...........so help?
hey ive got the telus htc desire and have it rooted to leedroid rom. the guide i used is in the desire android development subsection. the guide is called: [TUT] Telus Desire HBoot 0.83 Root and Flash
worked flawlessly for me.
Thanks very much - I will start there. can you confirm your hboot was .83.0001 or just .83?
its hboot .83.0001

[Q] Asian Android 2.1 to Europe Android 2.2

Hello everyone!
I've been for hours and hours searching this forum for a solution to my problem and i've found lot's of information but now I don't really know what's the best way to do it. I'm very newbie on this. Here is my situation:
I have just bough and A8181 HTC Desire Asian Version with this Specs:
-In the box it doesn't say AMOLED, so I think my desire has a SLCD screen
-The HBOOT version is 0.83
-Android 2.1 update1
-My Software number is 1.19.707.7
-My keyboard always have an annoying buttom to insert asian letters (Obviously that's because the Desire is an Asian Version)
What I want to know is just the best (and easiest) way to have an Official European FroYo 2.2 ROM instead of this asian 2.1.
So, how do I do this? UnrEVOked? Goldcard? What's the best ROM for my case?
Thank you all very much!
I just checked system update in my Desire Asian version, update to froyo is available now. I'm still downloading. Maybe it's Official Asian Froyo 2.2 ROM
Nice Information.
Jangunawan,
My Desire haven't received the update yet.
Have anyone with stock Asian Desire and software 1.19.707.7 received it?
Even with the update I still want very much to know how to flash my desire with an Eurpean ROM. So, do someone know the answer to my first post?
Thank you all

[Q] What's the significance of Software number?

My phone is:-
Android 2.3.3
Sense 2.1
Software number 1.34.110.3
The HTC EU ROM is 2.13.401.2
What are the differences between these and is it worth trying to upgrade?
Thanks
S-ON
Unlocked
Rooted
That later HTC EU ROM is based on Android 2.3.5. The most obvious difference when you run it is a new "ring" lock screen, but otherwise it will pretty much look the same. Supposedly it should include some bug fixes. If you search, you will find some people saying that they are finding it "better", but I guess your mileage may vary.
When looking into this for a friend's phone, I didn't see anyone saying the later verson was "worse".

Need help with my dhd

Hey, as you'll all notice I'm a complete newbie to all this and could do with some help.
I have a branded DHD (t-mobile UK) and would like to know of a beginner's guide on how to get Sense 3.0 and Android 2.3.5? As I'm still waiting on T-Mobile releasing their version of the updates and tbh I've waited far too long now as my friends who are on other networks had their OTA update months ago. My warranty has ran out (i think) so I've decided after reading a few threads on here that rooting is for me.
Also, could someone confirm my software is branded, if you can...
Android 2.3.3
Sense 3.0
Baseband 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
Build No. 2.50.110.5.CL123205
Software No. 2.50.110.5
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance

Forgot to include kernel ver: 2.6.35.10-gd2564fb [email protected]#1
Best thing to do is to unbrand your phone and then update it to 2.3.5. Done that with my Branded DHD on ThreeUK, worked like a charm. Ill post on how to unbrand soon

Downgrading

Hiya Folks
I've got an HTC Desire here. Android 2.3.7 with a baseband of 32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30 and a Kernel version of 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-geb50077 [email protected] #1
It's running Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 Desire and I am looking at how easy it is or will be to downgrade to the stock rom that came with it.
It's been unlocked for any sim but right now the owner is finding it hard going to get to grips with it, and consulting the manual is leaving him confused when it doesn't match up...
Thanks to Mato K for the direct response but as well as that I have found this link, on this site.

Despite it originally being an Orange device I'm tempted to install the regular HTC ones if I can....
RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U _4.05.00.11_release_121684.exe
RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U _4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe
It's been a while since I've been doing flashing and the like. Probably doesn't help the main PC has just BSOD'd either
