[Q] Rooting my Desire Z - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody:
After two days looking for information in the forum I'm going to try to install the ICS on my HTC Desire Z.
As I'm a noob in the forum and in rooting procedures, I'm going to describe what steps I follow in order to have it wrote if there is a problem with my phone.
My Software Information is:
Android Version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense: 2.1
Radio: 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M
Kernel: 2.6.35.10-g53a84f9
Compilation Number: 2.42.405.4 CL 192788 release-keys
Software number: 2.42.405.4
As far as I know, as my Android Version is 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) I have to downgrade my phone to 1.34. For that I will follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
After that I have to root my phone as told in the wiki.
Can anyone confirm that I want to do is correct, please?
Kind Regards
JSP
PS: Sorry for my poor english!

Vodafone.DE Desire Z - Root method confirmation

Hi all
I realise that you get this...a lot...but I am seeing a lot of conflicting information. I am not completely new to rooting and have just received a Desire Z for my girlfriend from Vodafone DE.
I want to root and change Roms and, essentially, give her the same great experience that I had on my old Desire with CM7.
I initially saw the Visionary info, then Rage...most of them say to downgrade, some say not...etc.
I am looking for the best method to root (Preferably with S-OFF)
Code:
Phone Details:
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Kernel version: 2.6.32.21-g9d69527 [email protected]#1 Fri Oct 29 14:49:32 CST 2010
Build number: 1.34.161.6 CL273326 release-keys
Software number: 1.34.161.6
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
If you go to the wiki and follow the guide for the Htc Vision you should be ok, I see you are on version 1.34 so you should be able to root without downgrading

Superb, thanks - I will give that a try

[Q] How to root Vodafone DHD

I have DHD, bought it 12/2010 from Spain. It came unlocked. On boot I see vodafone logo. Few months after purchase I tried to root and flash custom rom but unsuccessfully.
Now I can't open People application, some process crashes in background, so I decided somehow to root ir and flash custom rom.
Phone's software information:
Android version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense version: 2.1
Baseband version
12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2

Is it possible to downgrade and then root phone? Maybe someone can provide me instructions to follow. Thank you.
P.S. Instructions for UK Vodafone, is it the same for Spain's Vodafone? Software numbers does not match.

Rooting from 2.3.3

Gave up on my HTC Desire HD a while ago and went to the Optimus Black. Anyway coming back I have no idea how to root my phone from 2.3.3 Branded on Vodafone Australia. Previously before I left the DHD I tried Visionary and failed since it wasn't running Froyo. Any solutions? (Preferably without Downgrading first)

As for rooting that is pretty easy here is a link to the Ace Hack Kit, read the instructions several times and you should have no problems. They have an IRC channel if you have any questions rooting.
