Hello All,
So I decided to try rooting after doing all this research. I chose to use the "rage" method shown here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228
I download all the files and everything needed, I get adb to work, and I type in the displayed commands. My problem comes in when I move over to the phone and use Terminal Emulator. I type in /data/local/tmp/rage just as the directions specified but emulator then spits back: /data/local/tmp/rage:not found.
I have scoured the internet to find a solution to this problem and I can't seem to find any postings of someone else having the same problem. How do I get past this. Is there something I am missing? Please help!
in terminal or in adb shell... go to that directory to tmp
then do ls to check if rage is in there
so you would go
cd /data
cd /local
cd tmp
then
ls
and hopefully you should see rage in there if you do then try it again if you dont push it back in there
I tried your suggestion using terminal on my phone and it keeps telling me Is: permission denied. So I tried cd /data\local\tmp and it let me get to that point. then i tried the dir command and I get dir: permission denied.
hey, i recently rooted my desire z and i had that problem too
i found that if you don't do run this
Code:
$ adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*
make sure you run that before you type /data/local/tmp/rage in your terminal
I got it to work!! I am rooted. I finally realized that I had missed a space. I am about to flash my first rom!! YAAAAYYY. Thanks to all the hard work of others and their wonderful directions lol
Hi there im a beginner user so pls bare with me,
In Feb i became the proud owner of a Desire HD running Froyo 2.2 which was working perfectly, then i applied the OTA firmware update which screwed up my GPS's ability to get a lock. To fix this i read numerous forums and what i did was downgraded back to the original firmware my phone came with 1.32.405.3 and also used ADB to change the /system/etc/gps.conf file from reading:
NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
to
NTP_SERVER=nz.pool.ntp.org
.....as i live in New Zealand..........I did this by copy the file /system/etc/gps.conf from my phone to my computer changed the code and used the following adb code in command prompt to push my updated gps.conf file back into the /system/etc/ folder in my phone:
adb devices
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
adb push gps.conf /system/etc/gps.conf
adb shell mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
exit
After that i was delighted to see that my GPS started working again but what i had discovered was that when i restarted my phone the first line of code in the gps.conf file reverts back to NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org which means my GPS doesn't get a lock again so i then manually do the process i mentioned above to change North.America to NZ, this process isnt a big hassle but more an inconvenience and was thinking there has got to be a way to change the loading script or something like that so that every time my phone restarts the code reads NZ.
So in essence i am trying to find out if anyone knows a way to make the first line of code in the gps.conf file read NZ i/o North.America everytime i restart my phone WITHOUT ROOTING IT (personal preference)......there must be a way to temp root using adb then change the code within the boot image or script however it works im not sure.....?
Your help is much appreciated
Hi HakaWaka
You have to root it if you wanna make it easier. (That's one of the advantages of rooting)
You can use Visionary+ to temproot and permroot your Desire HD. However, even if you wish to just temproot it, after you change your ntp server, no matter what if you reboot your phone it will be back to normal. (i.e. it will be back to north-america) I tried it before, thats why i know.
If you permroot it, it will be easier. Once you permroot it, just install FasterFix. Downloadable from Market. And from there, change your ntp server, it is just that simple though. Changes will remain no matter how many times you reboot your phone.
Cheers mate.
Thanks superstick1!
I've tried using Visionary+ to temproot but it starts to load then shows a white screen indicating that it's jammed so im worried to do a permaroot and screw the phone up :S.
Anyone know a safe and sure way to root the DHD?

There are lots of guides linked in the sticky at the top of the Development forum that go into step by step details. But if you're on 1.32.405.6 then Visionary should work. I noticed you said 1.32.405.3 in your first post, was that a typo or are you on the Vodafone RUU? If you are I would switch to 1.32.405.6 and try again.
I just double checked and nope it was no typo firmware = 1.32.405.3. I might try switching to .6 and try Visionary again...

I have a Desire HD with Gingerbread running. I wanted to root my phone, but it seems it is impossible without downgrading.
I have read the tutorials on this site, but every time I type a ''push'' command, I get a very big list of words, like ''Android Debug'' etc. When I have completed all the steps the resul is a $...
I have also tried the GingerBreak method, but when I do so my phone acts very strange, it won't read my SD card until I reboot and when I start Superuser it says that Superuser has to be closed.
Also I have the downgrade folder, but I think the one I have is for Froyo devices, because the Psneuter file is in there, and no GingerBreak.
So, does anyone have a clear tutorial woth download links for the files I need???
I have searched Google, xda, and lots of more sites, but I really can't find any help.....
Thanks for reading,
Desley
Ok,
Firstly you will need to downgrade following this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
If you are running a branded phone then you need a Goldcard
Found here
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
Then follow this guide to get root and Radio s-off
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
Then if you want to have eng s-off (to flash radios)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403
I had the same problems you are encountering , as long as you follow the steps through it should go well , of course if you get stuck let me know and I can guide you through it as well.
I have this problem to but i have the right downgrade map with gingerbreak in it. Yesterday i tried 100 of times and at last i got # but i coulden't write anything more in cmd but the # there. NOw today i tried agian with theese steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13367691&postcount=1134
But now i get the Su: Permission denied and nothing pops up in my phone saying do you allow this. What should i do i'm running 2.26.405.8
I have tried the Gingerbreak app to with all the steps but the circel that's spinning keps doing that for like 15min and nothing happens. And yes i have done the factory reset many times and tried agian. Please somebody help
Ok , have you followed all steps I provided above?..
Some things to note are that between each step reboot , it helped me to wipe my sd card.
Have you got the htc sync drivers installed? (make sure htc sync is closed!)
Are you provider locked/is there network bloatware on the phone in which case you would need a goldcard?
If poss can you provide a screenshot of what you have for me and I can help you more

Nope my phone is not branded, fully unlocked. I have htc sync i have everything i need from the tutorial. When i have done this
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
And then write adb shell i get a $ then i write su and i get permission denied
Then i start all over agian and try
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
adb shell /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
Then i get things to work and i come to the# but then i can't write antthing more, it's just locked. And everything have passed but one of the lines is like message something failed. And in Su binary voutdated i tap to check for updates in superuser and it says there is a new version of the su binary press Ok to update i press Ok. Then it says An eroor occurred and su was not updated. A zip file, (su-2.3.1-bin-signed. zip) has been placed in your sdcard please reboot into recovery mode ans flash it to update your su binary.

Hi, I'm Maaria, and very very new to all of this!
So I have a desire HD which is locked to all networks except orange. I really want to root my phone so I can customise it and such, and I want to unlock it. I know I need to downgrade and stuff but I don't know how to do this. I mean do I have to get a gold card because it's locked to orange or do I just do it? And I don't even know how to get to the cmd folders or anything :/ I have no idea what to do, I've been looking all over the forum, and internet, this was the best thread I found but its still a bit confusing, for me. :/ I'm really sorry for being a complete idiot when it comes to this stuff but can anyone please help me? I really want to learn how to do it, I'm just totally confused with what to do

Ok ,
Firstly everyones new to this at some point , gotta start somewhere.
You are correct you will need a goldcard to downgrade which is in one of my links above
Cmd= command prompt , you can type cmd in your search bar in windows and it will bring it up for you , our find it in your accessories.
Something important to note, if you've upgraded to 2.3.7 downgrade is not possible at the moment , but keep an eye out as I'm sure it'll happen.
Any questions can pm me and I will help as I struggled for some time and picked up a lot of info from the site .
Good luck

Hi, are you struggling to root as well?..
Will need some info.
Branded/unbranded device
froyo/gingerbread system
If you're running 2.3.7 there's no fix at the moment..
Just the basics , if I have a more specific problem then post it and can have a look.

Hello guys,
Before posting, I did try/read/search how to get to a Cyanogen 7.1 on my Desire HD.
I have tried following these two guides:
here http://driphter.com/index.php?topic=3867.0
and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003&page=222
1) I have built a GoldCard because the device is ORANGE branded
2) I have copied the PD98IMG.zip onto the GoldCard...
In the first case, following the driphter tools, the device undergoes the Loading PD98IMG.zip but goes back to the same boot screen, never reboots. Terminal Emulator CANNOT get su
In the second case, I can go through all steps of ADB. When I do it the first time, I get a $ at the end. As soon as I repeat the *same* procedure, at the end of
Code:
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell
./data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FBB00000 -end FFFFFFFF
I get #
Now, here is where I am lost: as soon as I get # using the method above, I follow instructions to reboot. When I attempt SU in Terminal Emulator, I still cannot get it.
Final target for me is CyanogenMod 7.1 + radios + RIL but so far this has been VERY tough, and I am quite comfortable with a lunux command line
I am 99% certain that the problem is something wrong I do, but cannot post in the original thread (newbie), so I am hopeful that someone can help here.
GOT IT (what did I do wrong)
Hello guys,
I managed to get CM7.1. on my device.
I made several errors along the way, which I only realized when I started over following WORDforWORD what is in the guides.
So, my mistakes (hopefully you avoid):
1. Buy a dongle and plug your microSD as a drive - trying to use your phone as a reader/dongle is a 50/50 disaster.
2. Build a GoldCard - even if just as a precaution, build it - third time is a charm, at least for me it was;
3. Be patient and follow METICULOUSLY what is in the guides - God, I am not sure this can be stressed enough. Simple letter or a slash omission and you need to start over. Practice makes perfect, I tell you that
I am now on the next step - radio+RIL but cannot find a guide which would allow me to do both. Could someone please recommend a decent HOWTO which explains how to do both Radio+RIL?
Thanks
I am trying to root my friends phone, and using http://theunlockr.com/2011/10/25/how-to-downgrade-the-g2-desire-z-desire-hd-and-mytouch-4g-back-to-froyo/ to downgrade the G2 which is on 2.3.4 Gingerbread. I tried to use P10IMG.zip, but it said "Update Failed!". On that guide, it says to download fr3vo, but wherever/whenever I download it, it always seems to give me a file with no extension that can't be extracted or executed. Any help regarding this or in helping me root the G2 would be much appreciated. (Sorry for noob question).
Thanks.
Fre3vo is something that is run on the phone though shell (via adb). You don't need to do anything with it in windows.
Code:
> adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
> adb shell
$ chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
$ /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF
I didn't read through the full instructions, but they seemed to be the same as the ones here.
It isn't a one click temp root. Did you push fre3vo over to the phone and execute it via adb shell?
