Go read the sticky in the development forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
look for all Roms etc in the Dev section in future. otherwise alot of people will scream at you. I followed the guides in this thread and I managed it in 15 mins.

Not going to provide you with links, because that would encourage laziness
I will however point you to the development forum here, and advise that you checkout the sticky about useful links. it will provide you wit tutorials and all you need to root.

you will find a tutorial on how to root here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
you will find all the official roms here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
and here is a tutorial for apps2sd and rooting: http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/
there are many 2.2 roms in the rom development section, htc is yet to release the official froyo update, if you decided to go for a custom rom after rooting, most custom roms come with apps2sd ready to go, out of the box
can i still get official hhtc updates if i root with a unbranded rom ? with apps2sd on it ?
is it possible not to root but unbrand the deisre ? and still get offical updates ?

[Q] How do I root my DHD? (2.50.45.2)

Hey, I´ve used the search tool, but couldn´t find anything.
I would like to Root my HTC Desire HD, so I can Install the new Android Revolution 6.x (Android 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 )
My Phone is currently running:
Android 2.3.3
Sense 2.1
Baseband Version 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel Version 2.6.35.10
Build Number 2.50.405.2
Software Number 2.50.405.2
My Phone has no branding!
Is rooting possible for me?
Can Someone please help me?
I am totaly new to rooting, so I would appreciate a step by step tutorial.
That makes two of looking for the same information, any help out there please
YES rooting is possible.
I rooted my Dhd about two weeks ago and all went well.
I spent about a week reading lots of different sites. All using different methods in the end I used a guide on driphter.com
Forum > Everything Android > HTC Desire HD/Inspire 4G > General Discussion > [GUIDE] Downgrade, Root, Radio & Eng S-OFF DHD/Inspire 4G in 9 Steps
if your unbranded you can skip the goldcard step.
i also had to download the PD98IMG using my phone and move it to the root (not in any folder) of the sd card using astro
the only other step i changed was to install visionary+ from blackmart alpha (google it. Its a blackmarket market) the install from the toolkit didn't work for me.
JSL is very good/quick to answer questions on that fourm.
Hope this helps.
What do I need S-Off for?
What does it do?
Thanks for the Help, Ill try it out...
(I hope I dont brick my phone)

You need s-off to flash new roms its an added security HTC add.
I think it stands for security off but i'm not 100% sure if anyone wants to correct me/let mr know please do.
I can´t download the ToolKit
Something seems to be wrong with the .zip file...
Any other way?
What you guys need to do is read, and follow closely, all of the information contained in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079108
I hope it answers all (or at least most) of your questions.

Could it be your Antivirus is killing the download? check to see if it is being held in Quarantine.
Take Care

I couldn´t find the mistake on my computer, so I just downloaded it with my phone ^^ ... Everything Else Went totally easy ^^
(I was a bit nervous ... I really love my Phone )
But I can now enjoy the amazing ROMs from the brilliant xda devs...and never have to wait for an update from htc again!

Thanks for the Help with the threads

i had the same problem, solved it a bit complicated:
i first made the official update to gingerbread (from carrier) and then made the downgrade to 1.34...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
for perm root i used the wiki guide
Thank you for the information.
It worked.
First upgrade to 2.3.5 and then use the tut to downgrade to 2.2 build 1.34.
Second used the tutorial to root compleet and putting superuser on mob.
Third i flashed clockmod on the mob.
Guide

I also read many guides and took parts from many and posted everything on my blog so that it'll be easy for ppl new to rooting..(i had a hardtime looking through different sites..phew..) you check my blog at www.desirez.strawmetal.com

DHD root noob question.

Hello guys im new at forum.
i have desire hd and i wanna root it and put JellyTIme cuz i heard its the best ROM.
but can somebody give me the full instructions step by step how to do that cuz im a noob in that.
my android version is:2.3.5
and if i do something wrong what can happens?
Search for Advance Ace Hack Kit on Google. If not, look in the Desire HD General section for Ace Think Tank and look there, the team over there (me included ) will help you out
Sent from my bitten Desire HD using ViperDHD & xda
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.
