You do not need Eng-off as Wolfganght stated. With newer Desire HDs I would not even attempt it. His link is also outdated for info. Just follow the link that Ma5t3rG gave you.

Some users are complaining about the aahk...it's bricking their dhds so i found that the safest way was to do the original steps like i rooted my phone and many other dhds without a single problem... i was just tryin to help ....and abt the aahk do you really recommend and do you guarentee that it works on all versions of dhds or just the new ones i personaly never tried it ?

It works on all versions of the dhd. I've yet to see one where it doesn't. The ace hack kit does not brick anything. Its just people are to lazy to read and properly setup their PC's for the kit to run. Plus they have an irc room to help people out yet "mysteriously" they miss that to even though its in the op.
To add what agoattamer said, eng soff is not needed but if you really want it the hack kit has a new feature to install it. Do not use any other tool as newer dhd get messed up when using older methods that are incompatible

What He said. The AAHK is the only proven Root method for this device. Bricks happen when people are lazy.

If some one will find some solution please share it.
gingerbreak 1.2 not working with 2.50
Well, u need clockworkmod to flash it which u need rom manager for. And for rom manager u need root

If u are S-OFF then u can downgrade to 2.36 by using the RUU version then root ur device,
edit:- i´ve done it more than 3times after updating from 2.36 to 2.50 "OTA" (believe me u can)
U can get the 2.36 ruu here:-

Thanks a lot ,,, Guide from JSLEnterprises was so amazing and very helpful

Edit:
DONE!
DHD is now rooted with Radio and ENG S-OFF.
Thank you so much.
Now moving on to flash another rom, and try and figure the whole fing about the radio out..
I successfully downgraded and rooted my desire hd 2.42.415 at last. Thanks a million JSLEnterprises. You are awesome
Trivial Question
I have a trivial question, I am very interested in rooting using this method, however I have recently encountered an issue with my stock rom ever since I did the OTA update to 2.43.611.1 The issue is HTC Sence has stopped unexpectedly window pops up quite often & in talking to telus my provider & HTC them selves, they both say the phone needs to be repaired,
My question since I encountered the problem immediatly upon doing the OTA update should I get it repaired first or just try rooting to see if that fixes it.
Also if possible can I be pointed in the direction of how to return to stock Telus if I end up rooting & the probelm still persists?
My thanks to thoes who have diligently be working & involved in helping others & myself reach root status on higher Build numbers.
Great Work!

The reason you're getting the error after the ota update is the same reason why people get issues after installing custom roms and not wiping their device... the old cache and user data conflicts with the update.
Downgrading and then flashing a custom rom along with flashing an updated radio will remedy the problem. I dont believe you'll want to use the initial radio release, I highly recommend flashing the radio from the 2.52 korean release to your Telus DHD, along with the ril's from that release and replacing the ones in the rom you will flash via cwm recovery. ENG S-OFF is required to flash a new radio or recovery img.
Once you downgrade, you can always return to the stock 2.43.661.1 rom. There is a thread in the Desire HD/Inspire 4G Forum on Driphter.com where I've placed the RUU's of common builds (especially for Telus and AT&T). If returning the device for warranty purposes, you must Radio S-On prior to Installing the stock rom via the RUU. The RUU Itself will set ENG to SHIP, and unroot.
Excellent, Greatly appreciated.
Might try rooting as soon as tonight. Kind of excited to have a functional device again!
I am glad that it worked, i thought OH **** the other day, when i found out that i shouldn't have updated to 2.50, if i was about to root..
Big thanks to you JSL, nice work, and easy tuturial!!
I can see that in /HTC ACE TOOLKIT
is a splash screen changer, and a boot animation changer.. how do i use them?
Cheers guys I will try that downgrade guide. Just a note though. The file fize of the version of HTC Sync for the Desire HD I'm downloading is 66.6MB. I hope that isn't an omen for this to go horrendously wrong

Help with rooting

Can someone walk me through for the steps of successfully rooting my desire z ?
Thanks
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
There are so many easy places to find this information here if you just look around. Specifically the Android Development sub forum.
Cyanogenmod wiki for rooting the HTC Desire Z
The XDA wiki for rooting the HTC Vision/Desire Z
Also make sure you do not use the Visionary to do root as it has a high brick risk and don't install Clockworkmod version 5 as that has issues. Stick with Clockworkmod 3.0.2.4.
Another thing ... I suggest before you root your device, you read through a lot of the forum threads for your device so you have a better understanding of what your doing. I apologize if I'm treating you with kid gloves, but your question makes me wonder.
That guide is for 1.72 firmware though I am running on 2.42.666.8. How would I go about downgrading it?
EDIT: Also, what can you do with a rooted phone, I know you can do a lot just not the specifics.
Check the Development forum, there is a guide there for downgrading gingerbread OTA's

I was unaware you're phone had a later firmware on it. Yes, as you said, "can do a lot" with a rooted phone. For example you can install a custom kernel and overclock it to speed up the phone. You can install the latest version of Android on it so you know it's always up to date. I can't really think of anymore off the top of my head, but there you go. Rooting pretty much keeps your options open with your phone I guess.

I need an advice for a way to downgrade my HTC desire

Hi guys, I know there are a lot of posts about this , and thats the reason I write new one. I read them all, not only from this forum but from few more in the internet. What I need to know is - what is the safest and easiest ( I know its not easy ) way to downgrade my DHD with 3.12.405.1 software version to convinient one , so I can S-off, root and change my rom. I read about a lot of tools , 2-3 ways of doing it , but because of different problems like broken links, lack of support on the posts I decided to ask for your help here . Whats the way to do this - using AAHC, using this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424023) made me confused what is this platform-tools directory and some other things in it. So , I am ready for giving you a few beers ( I am sure other people too) if you explain me which sites or ways are these what I (and other users) should use
Cmon , doesnt any1 did this in the near future and show me what he used , thats all I need, no explains no nothing ?
You should try the official bootloader unlock from HTCDev : http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
Follow the instructions, unlock your bootloader. Then flash a custom recovery image like clockworkmod from Fastboot using "Fastboot flash recovery [recovery_image]" from command line.
Boot into bootloader by pressing the Vol down and Power button to get into the Bootloader and then select Recovery.
Install the zip of whatever ROM you want from the recovery then.

Use AAHK. In short, run once to downgrade and a second time to S-OFF, flash custom recovery and and root. Make sure you read the entire manual.
The HTCDEV method gives you fewer ROM options and adds an extra flash step. It also is detectable so you can't go back to undetectable unroot, making warranty unrecoverable.

If u simply want to change ur rom or just root it u can do it with a software called rootme.Google it n u will find it.i hv tested it on 3.12 version but doesnt work on 3.13 version.once rooted install rom manager app from the market and flash a recovery within the app. Thn reboot into recovery using the same app. Now install whtever zip format rom u want. But if u want s-off thn u need to downgrade coz non of the softwares support the current version. Download a ruu of the software version u want to downgrade to on your computer run it n ur phone will be flashed to that version thn u can use softwares like ATM or easy s-off by jyoko..
P.s u can fibd the ruu on goo.im or just google for thm but remember if ur phone came with a gingerbread on it flash it with a Gingerbread ruu but if it came it Froyo u can flash any RUU.

Thanks a lot for the help, I am going to start now and see what will happen .
Actually , I think I am confused. All of you told me maybe 3-4 different ways. So I reconcidered what I need most and it is downgrade tool. The other things are easy for me. I just cant use lower version rom and start it because I cant find out if my phone was bought with froyo or GB. Thats my problem now - how to downgrade from 3.12.405.1 to rom that can be used for S-off , root and installing recovery :fingers-crossed: And at the end - I cant find a proper link to download Advanced Ace Hack Kit, the one from its site downloads the 96.8mb file and says :network error: .. wtf ?

There is only ONE way to hack your device. The Advanced Ace Hack Kit (http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=74) That will S-OFF and root your device in almost one step.
HTCDEV tools is useless and will not give you full control over your device, besides leaving traces of the unlock in case you need to revert back to stock for warranty purposes.
Use the Hack Kit and if needed use the guide in my signature to have more information. :good:

Yeah I run the AAHK but I got condused of so many menus there, I am afraid of bricking the device. Thats what I did - downloaded AAHK 12062012, extracted it, put the ROM file inside the folder in extracted files of AAHK. The I run it, input the password and its all connected. My phone is with fast boot of, debugging on and on charging only state . Whats the next I should do - there is nothing exactly shown. Should I press 1 and hack the device, should I use the downgrade to Froyo option .. I really got confused here. And I will tell you , I do not root or s-off or change recoverys, radios, kernels , roms for first time, I am flash junkie and this thing got me

There is BUT if you do end IP with a device that shipped with gb you will be in a world of hurt and you'll be back asking to fix your phone because you screwed the boot loader. Its simple DONT DOWNGRADE TO FROYO. there is no point or need. Just reread the manual until you get it.then run the hack kit

I understand you mate, but I wanna change my ROM, so if I am gonna do it, I suppose I have to downgrade in order to S-off, root and install recovery . Am I right or its me that doesnt get it ? If you say to leave it with GB, so what option should I use in AAHK ?
The kit never downgrades you froyo. I think this is where you are confused. Downgrade doesn't mean froyo. It just means you will be on a older version.
Here's some info. When HTC released the sense 3.0 update(3.12.405) it patched up things so we cannot get root/soff etc. So the kit downgrades you back to sense 2.1 (2.50.405-this is still GB). Then you rerun to get soff.
You only need the 1 click option.

You have to do nothing but read the manual. Do not use any other RUU to downgrade but the ones included in the Hack Kit. It will detect your OS version and prompt you to downgrade if needed. Gizmoe is right, the Hack Kit does not use FROYO RUU's anymore since the bootloader issue was detected.
Just make sure that you follow all the instructions. If you get stuck visit the IRC channel and we will lend you a hand. :good:

You messed up. Your fault. AAHK works perfectly if you read the manual twice before doing anything. If you go about using your own logic and pressing whatever you want then you'll mess up.

AHH you restore to froyo?? You are not very clever are you? Maybe you missed the part where it says not to flash a froyo RUU in a device running gingerbread..that is all over the forum and even in the guide in my signature. Also in the effen manual and in the Hack Kit site.
Besides, it does not exist such a thing as semi brick...or you are bricked or you are stuck...
To sum up, stuck at the splash screen is fully described in the troubleshooting section of the manual. What people need to know, is that the Hack Kit is not for the lazy noobs, being a noob is fine if you are wise enough to learn what does hacking your device needs and involves. There are lots of thread on that...even I have writen a guide to help noobs out. No one will do anything for you...IT IS YOUR PHONE, so do your homework and stop whining.

You can still S-OFF your phone.
After a while, the script might (if needed) try to download a PD98IMG file. When it gives an error simply google for the filename (might be PD98IMG-GB2 for example) and place it in the PD98IMG directory AAHK created. Everything should go well. I S-OFF'd my Desire yesterday.

Sorry KirovAir, but if the people you are advising to use the Hack Kit get stuck due to not following instructions or some other issue, will you support that? Because let me remember you that the Hack Kit is no longer supported nor here or in the IRC channel. Don't you think that what you are advising is dangerous and might leave quite a few fellas with their phones in a blank screen?

Thanks for the information!
I had also read about 'Easy Ace Root Tool' in dev forum. But I have a question regarding that.
- It says that only Custom ROMs can be installed, not Ported ROMs. What is meant by 'ported ROMs'? Will I not be able to install, say Sabsa prime or Venom's ROM(which are ported from One S and Desire X), if I unlock bootloader using Easy Ace root tool?
Also, does it support flashing 4ext recovery?
could you please tell me at least which version of aahk you used? already found in the web PD98IMG-GB2 and i am willing to do the proccess... already red many forums about rooting my desire hd. but since you did that proccess already i think you can give some reliable tips even if this topic is unsupported here. i know that discussing about aahk is unwelcome in the xda forum and i am sorry for this but i think you would agree that its the way with the most chances of success. or anyway could you suggest me any another way to follow?
thank you for yoour time

- It says that only Custom ROMs can be installed, not Ported ROMs. What is meant by 'ported ROMs'? Will I not be able to install, say Sabsa prime or Venom's ROM(which are ported from One S and Desire X), if I unlock bootloader using Easy Ace root tool?
Also, does it support flashing 4ext recovery?

Unlocking the bootloader will allow you to flash any recovery that is for the device (DHD / Inspire 4G), Custom roms built from source (CM) and modified sense roms work great. Ported roms I am not sure, but you can try it out. In the worst case scenario, you might get stuck in the splash screen and you will have to flash a different one.

could you please tell me at least which version of aahk you used? already found in the web PD98IMG-GB2 and i am willing to do the proccess... already red many forums about rooting my desire hd. but since you did that proccess already i think you can give some reliable tips even if this topic is unsupported here. i know that discussing about aahk is unwelcome in the xda forum and i am sorry for this but i think you would agree that its the way with the most chances of success. or anyway could you suggest me any another way to follow?
thank you for yoour time

No, Hack Kit is no longer supported anywhere. If you are willing to do it, you are on your own and will have to find information about it somehwere else. There are other ways to root or S-OFF the device that are supported here. So, please let the Hack Kit rest in peace.

definitely i would prefer a way through xda furums since its the most trustful, helpful and updated site!!!! but pls... there are more that 5 suggested ways in the forum from 2010 till 2011 or early 2012 and some files needed to be downloaded no longer exist. moreover, above the topics many people explain that had problems during rooting and s-off proccess..could you suggest me one of these as most efficient... its not that i cant do it but i need a guide by following exact steps since i am not a programmer of android. sorry if i am asking so much but im reading for more that a week forums about rooting and s-off dhd and i am really confused with the difficulties this phones has. (i have 3.0sence with 2.3.5 gb, but i bought it on froyo version if this could help)
thanks again for your time,
looking forward for your answer

You don't need S-OFF to root. You can just run this and you will be just fine. You don't have to be a programmer to root your phone, just do a little reading and searching will suffice.
