HI all, this is a very noob question.
I have tried searching the forum but either I am confused by the mixed answers or perhaps I am really really lost.
My android version is 2.3.5 (the latest official firmware for HTC desire Hd), have been trying to find a tutorial guide to root my phone so that I can use custom rom.
In the midst of my search, I read that advanced hack kit can do the job but you will need a windows-based platform?
Even so, I am seeing some conflicted comments and hence am not sure which should I take. Could someone points it out to me?
Then, unfortunately I am have mac os platform that is available to me and hence are there any guides for mac users?
Many thanks in advance!

Hi Android folks,
I am planing to Root my SGS GT-I9000 , Kernel version 2.6.35.7, GINGERBREAD.JPJV6, Baseband ver. I9000JXJV6.
I have read many posts on this forum, but some of them warns that the way the mention is not compatible with all phones, but the one they choose to root.
also they provide tars file for that specific device. so I want to ask for the rooting method for my mobile, especially that i try to root it with the one click rooting application written by a developer within this forum, but he state that his application does not support gingerbread.
Thanks in advance....

Hello and welcome to XDA!
First of all, you need to learn how to root your phone. This can be a tricky process, but you will find many helpful people here.
After you do that, you can install different Android versions on your phone, also called ROMs.
The 4.0 version of Android, known as Ice Cream Sandwich, is currently in Alpha stage, so you might want to wait a few weeks/months until it gets more stable. Until then, you can try many of the ROMs in the Android Development section.
I'll come back with some links to tutorials
Edit: As promised, here are the two guides which I consider are easy enough for a newbie to consider:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928160
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833965
I would recommend thoroughly reading the guides, making sure you understand *everything* and informing yourself about ADB and rooting first, though. Remember, Google is your friend.
The reason is that if you mistake something, you might end up with a nice HTC-branded paperweight. But follow the steps as written and read beforehand about what you are doing, and you'll be a-OK.
Hey everyone!
So I have searched the forums and I have found nothing on rooting the Telus DHD with 2.3.5? I don't know if the Advanced Ace will work because I'm in Canada? I also have read that it wont work with my current DHD or i need to downgrade? iunno, I'm confused. I'm relatively new to the whole "rooting" thing and I have been satisfied with the DHD until now. I was using Go launcher EX so my phone was alright, now im just bored and looking for an upgrade.
If there is already a forum can someone please point me in the correct way. I have tried to download some of the files here including the stock rom file....

The Hack Kit is the only working tool to gain S-OFF and as you read your phone will be downgraded first to achive that (done by the Hack Kit). Use the guide in my signature to find the infromation you need and if you have doubts, visit the thread in my signature. :good:

Yes, first get AAHK, unfortunately it has been removed from XDA, you you must google for it. I have made a small guide on rooting and backing up apps prior to flashing new ROMs, might shed some light too: http://projects.lanik.org/AndroidProjectROMs.htm

The ONLY working tool is the Hack Kit as everybody said. Find it here: http://tau.shadowchild.nl
As long as you follow the instructions in the Site and in the effen manual and your phone has no hardware issues, you will be fine and nothing will happen. The Hack Kit has been used thounsand of times successfully. You even have an IRC support channel in case you get stuck, besides the thread that Guy told you. :cyclops:
before you use the hack kit, be aware that it will downgrade your os, root it, s-off, and delete all user data.
i CANNOT STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF READING THE EFFEN MANUEL.

Hi all,
I have been an iPhone user for a long time and have become frustrated with the methodical cycling of old tech via new OS', so I want to switch over to Android. That beginning said, I want to upgrade my phone to Cyanogenmod 11 (M5 I believe?) but I definitely need some technical help. I am not looking to brick my phone.
I read a few guides on how one goes about upgrading their device but there are still some points I am unsure of. A large area of confusion for me at the moment is this:
-What is the difference between a unlocked bootloader and a rooted device? My understanding is that an unlocked bootloader is more basic, like having access to the "BIOS" in your phone. A rooted device, on the other hand, pertains to the OS, as if one was upgrading between Ubuntu and Windows. I am confused because the article I read states that I can flash a custom ROM in the unlocked bootloader, without rooting. If this is the case, why would anyone want root access?
-Nightly vs. snaphot vs. stable: I understand that these represent levels of stability that increases from nightly to stable. My question is regarding updating. If I install a nightly/snapshot, will I have to flash/wipe/etc every time I want to install an upgrading nightly?
-Lastly, I have had on my eye on this guide for when I upgrade: (REMOVE BRACKETS FROM "COM")
true-android.blogspot.[com]/2013/12/update-verizon-galaxy-nexus-sch-i515-to_17.html
Is that good guide to go by? Does that make any assumptions about upgrading that new user like me would not be aware of?
Thank you for any help.
Thanks for the help boys
