It's not to hard

So that is the easiest and only way. I guest I could wait for HTC to unlock hboot or say revolutionary to break it.

I supose but revelutionary won't be able to root your dhd unless there's been a break through to s-off dhd like that.
I'm affraid that is currently your best way to root, I had the latest ota update when I decided to root I tried twice and it worked

After downgrading you can follow this guide to root:

Soooo. I've had my HTC desire (gsm) for about a year. I rooted it. Put new roms on it. Flashed it hundreds of times. But I got bored. So I thought is go back to stock HTC 2.3 sense.
Wrong.....
Now no matter what I try I can re-root it.
I've tried alpharevx.
I've tried apps.
I've tried fastboot.
I've tried hboot.
And a few other I can't even remember.
Sooooo. My question is this. How do I root a phone that doesn't want to be rooted and only wants to run stock 2.3
Any help greatly received.

Hmm revolutionary should work, as far as i know its the only 1 that can s-off hboot 1.02.0001
How r u using revolutionary? is ur phone booted up and usb bugging enabled? dont mean to offend u with those silly questions lol its just strange it dont work. Now saying that, maybe revolutionary does'nt work on all devices, i dont know. im only guessing. also i know that theres a few other programs that r supposed to do the job like SuperOneClick and there mite be one or 2 others but i really cant tell u if they work or not or if they cause problems, i really dont know.
Try unrEVOked_3.20…just 3.20!

I tried revolutionary from a clean install with usb debugging enabled. I've tried super one click

Man, keep your advise to yourself... seriously.
via xda app
I did it in the same order as you are trying now. First got stock 2.3 and then wanted root.
I remember it was easy. I just googled for a how to and I don't even think it was on xda, just a random page. I had the same hboot, gsm.
With your hboot ver revolutionary is the only option. Period.
Revolutionary only gives SOFF and allows you to install recovery.
You have to flash the su zip seperately to get root - superuser
One simple thing to try would be to change the computer, install hboot drivers and try revolutionary again.
Hope this helps.

Superwipe is a good idea so I'm glad your @ least doing this, it may be easier to help if you give more info, is this happening from the very first custom rom, after root? What method did you use to root? Can you write down everything on bootloader screen (mostly want to know ship soff or eng soff) can you name your recovery? Can you name the roms you have tried?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Glad U're helping me sir. This problem is there from the day I rooted and installed my first rom cyanogen mod 7 Actually mine is ship s- off, I used the wiki.cyanogen g2rooting guide and another one for getting sd card golden. First I used clockwork mod recovery now I'm using the latest in 4ext recovery. Now I'm currently using andromadus mimicry 1.5.0 its working perfectly with many softwares until I restart if I do 'hot reboot' no problem occurs
These are the list of roms I tried and problem starts wen I restart or switch off my mobile and then switch on:
1.andromadus audacity beta5
2.cyanogen mod rc9.0
3.Android_SpeedDaemon_Fantasia_v1.0.0_vision
4. G2slim1.6
5. MikRunny-v1.0-DeOdex-signed
6. RCMix.Energized.7.26.2012.Fixed.Kernel_Ver2
7. Strawmetal-1.Mi.V2.0
8. sensewich1
And many others too
Plz help!

Well you are best to get true s-off with an engineering spl. I assume you either missed a step in the guide you followed or you went with the official htc unlocked bootloader. Either way you can fix this, and I suggest you do
Pretty much you need to relock the bootloader, then downgrade, reroot and flash the eng hboot along with everything else.
The best guides to follow to root and soff are
Cyanogen wiki
Xda wiki
Strawmetals pdf guide.
You can google search these easy or if I get a minute then ill link you. But first you need to relock your bootloader
I believe it is something like
Fastboot oem lock bootloader
I can't recall of hand but nipqer has a guide on this
If I get some time ill get you links, but for now just search a bit and read up, good luck!

Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Just boot into fastboot mode
Type fastboot devices, if you see yours then proceed
fastboot oem lock
Now do
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This should bring you back to hboot, if it says ship s-on then your good and you can proceed to root and gain true s-off
If you continue to have trouble log onto freenode irc #g2root, just google it if you can't find it, there is a link in the xda wiki for rooting the vision

if you haven't actually changed hboot you are still on stock hboot, leave it. (you're just s-off with stock hboot partition layout, i'm wondering whether you understand what the hboots are? try here, recommend reading all the guides there)
s-off allows you to change hboot to use space more efficiently, and modify system partition while it's running. it's also much more useful to be s-off just in case things go wrong i.e. easier to fix.
(if you really want to go back s-on, you'll have to flash RUU, look at bortak's guide stickied to the top of Q&A, but i don't recommend it, not much point...)
No its just that I read somewhere that S-OFF can be dangerous and could brick your phone!!

Don't worry too much about it, you probably read someone who didn't follow instructions.
The actual s-off procedure can be dangerous, but most likely to happen during the process itself
You are already successfully s-off so relax!
Hi I recently bought my Desire and I want to ask what those 2 terms mean.
Sent from my iXperiA 8s using xda premium
If you have s-off, you can access the system partition of your ROM to write files to it with a root explorer app.

s-on = security on
s-off = security off
basically with s-off u have pretty much full control over uf phone, but the main reason for s-off would be so that u can change hboots to gain more internal memory (data). u can still flash roms if ur s-on and rooted but if things go wrong, its much easier to fix if ur s-off. goto Desire Android Development, theres a few guides there, google "Alpharev" to learn a bit more about hboots and look here, my personal fav
