Use the hack kit despite what you may have read.

By the way, wrong section. Read forum rules while you are at it.

There will always be bad things said about every method - the internet is full of fools.
Despite the very crass nature of way AAHK's """effen""" (multiple quotes because I loathe that "word") manual, it does get to the point, and if you follow it then you'll have no problems,
Well, thanks to the AAHK tool, my phone is Semi-Bricked, and im having a hard time recovering it.

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.

I read the efffen manual and did everything correctly, it restored to froyo but started freezing on the HTC splash screen
I got the phone working now anyways, albeit with an old radio

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.

I have to disagree on that, nobody has bricked a desire hd yet. Chances of bricking are very low if you use my tools, because my tools check if everything is ok before doing anything.

What's the difference between Root and S-Off ?
Root is a permission to do stuff in the current ROM, S-OFF is a setting deeper down in the device that for example sets the device's internal memory to read/write state instead of read only. Basically it allows you to flash stuff.

Thanks for the reply again, i think i'll stick with Rooting my phone so i can use some apps i couldn't use before.
I might S-OFF later on when i want to flash some custom roms
Actually there is no chance to brick your device with just rooting it...
Visionary + Has never, at least to my knowledge broken a phone; the only risk to damage of the phone is when flashing, and if you have used jkoljo's S-OFF tool, you can always get access to the bootloader, and therefore access clockworkmod, or reset the phone using the PGD128.zip (or whatever that is called, I cant remember the exact name) Happy flashing

Be careful and read the instructions a few times.
Rooting shouldn't brick your dhd...flashing the radio is the most common way of bricking it (a know of a coupl eof dudes who glanced at the instructions and proceeded to brick them)
BUT there are some v good guides here and on youtube...
Ps...

Hey there. I am trying to root my Desire HD second week and still no progress. I dont know what shall I do to get it rooted, tried too many variants, none of all wprled (AAHK, z4root, visionary r14, SuperOneClick...) Please Help me , link any working tut or write step by step what shall I do. I really want to root my phone and I'm getting frustrated... Please guys.
Android version is 2.3.5
Htc sence 3.0
System Version 3.12.405.1
If I remember correctly, you must downgrade your phone first. Go take a look for a downgrade. You'll find guides here on XDA.
What shall I downgrade adroid version or system version? Is htc desire hd rootable with SuperOneClick ? Shall I unlock bootloader ? I am very noob at rooting phones. Please help me , I really want to root my phone!!!
You should use Advanced Ace Hack Kit AAHK. Used it for my DHD. It does everything on its own and in about 10-15 minutes you should be able to flash any ROM.

No, it doesnt work. It shows me WTF spam, stop watching TV , read the effen manual , etc... I had system version smth with 2 before , as I knew it was rootable, but anyways AAHK doesnt work for me . PLEASE HELP!

If it says that then you are not reading the manual. Please before you brick your phone for good. Spend the next 5 hours reading up on how to do it first and decide if you really need to. Rooting is not for everyone nor are custom roms. Mainly if you can't spend the time to read up on how to root. You will spend just as much time reading up on how to fix any bugs that may or may not pop up

It works and you really should read the effen manual. Somewhere at the bottom there will be Q&A and there you will find the code to start AAHK. From then on it's pretty self explanatory. Just read as much as you can.

Basically what it says in the title. I have a Desire HD with Android 2.3.5 installed, and I want to flash Cyanogenmod 7.1 (With google apps) to it. I've had a good look at all the resources available and I think I know what I need to do, I'm a little apprehensive though as I'm new to this so would somebody mind checking the resources I have found to see if I have the right steps?
First of all I've checked in About Phone -> Software Information and found that my Software Number is 3.12.405.1. So from what I've read this means I'll have to downgrade my firmware before I can root.
That lead me to this guide: Here
If I follow that guide carefully as well as this one here, I will end up with a phone that has firmware 1.32, is rooted, has Radio S-OFF and also has clockworkmod recovery installed.
From there, I can then follow this guide here to install the latest version of Cyanogenmod either using Recovery, or the ROM manager. Simple, right?
Does this sound about right? Or am I missing something incredibly obvious that will break my phone, or make life a lot easier?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Sounds good to me although you could try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
One click root and s-off once you follow everything and have the right setup to run the tool. Very easy and quick.

Thanks! That looks good, although I'm not very confident about this little warning.
Doing this WILL severely degrade bootloader performance on Inspires (and likely DHDs) and causes issues trying to install RUUs. In other words, it WILL jam you up. (Note: Issue now confirmed on later DHDs - ignore at your own risk).

Am I reading this correctly, following this method WILL degrade my bootloader performance? Or will that only happen if I perform the hack incorrectly?
You are reading it wrong. What has happens especially with us inspire users(American dhd) is that if your phone was shipped with gb, installing the Eng bootloader(Eng soff) causes issues. Makes the phone take 15 min to boot. Its possible to fix but its a long pita. I only seen a couple people with dhd have this issue so and others not.
Regular soff is all you need, just you can't use fastboot to flash say radios, its done in a different way

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.
Hi,
Trying to root my brothers HTC Desire HD which is currently running Android version 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) and HTC Sense version 3.0.
I've been searching for the past half hour trying to find a way to root it but my search hasn't been very successful since the aahk no longer exists.
I tried the temproot method but when trying to temproot the phone the phone started to freeze and I had to remove the battery to restart it, the application went completely black... I used VISIONary to try temproot it...
So how do you root the device?
Thanks a lot in advance.
P.s i've rooted a HTC Desire HD before, not on gingerbread.
Look at glevitans signature and follow that.

Anything about version 12.x will work with Gingerbread. It involves downgrading:
[Select and press Enter]1
3.12.405.1
This version of Android cannot use the hack kit at this time.
You can downgrade if you like, then rerun the hack step.
WARNING: THIS WILL WIPE DATA
[Would you like to downgrade? y/n]
HTC WWE Europe 3.12.405.1 downgrades to HTC WWE EU GB 2.50.405.2
So after downgrade everything should be good to go.
I went over to the IRC channel, this is posted on top.
AAHK will not currently work on Inspires on AT&T's latest ROM, 3.20.502.52. A new temproot is needed.
Edit: Just noticed you have the dhd, yes, it seems you are good to go.
That's the ROM downgraded. Setting up the phone as if it were never used before as I type.
Rooting = done.
So for anyone reading this thread, download the aahk which can be found by connecting to the aahk irc support channel:
Here
Once downloaded, read the 'efffen manual' thoroughly, open the batch file as administrator and press 1. You will have to downgrade your firmware. Press y and hit enter. Continue on with the downgrade. Once it's booted back up and you've setup the device; enable debugging mode again and disable fast boot. Enter 1 at the menu of the batch file. Device will now begin rooting process.
Cheers for help!

that is not an error. The downgrade takes place in the device and not in the cmd session. Once your phone is downgraded, check that by looking at the about phone>software that u are running Android 2.3.3 and have sense 2.1, then re run the hack kit again...
That issue is because lack of reading....:good:
