Received a new DHD and looking to put the MIUI custom rom on it.
I've been reading about and its not quite the same as rooting my old HTC HERO. I've looked around and currently my orange is
Baseband 12.27b
Kernel 2.6.32
Build 1.40.61
Software 1.40

Can I go ahead and follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537 to S-off and install clockwork + custom rom?
I dont have to create a goldcard or anything?
yes I think you can do it just installing visionary+, if this doesn't work try to download and utilize a stock rom with 1.15 o 1.32 version. If both of them doesn't work... do a goldcard.
Hi,
At this moment i'm running a rooted HD, with the revolution HD rom.
But I never flashed the radio, and now I want to flash it to the radio that is recommended for revolution.
I noticed that mine HD is nog ENG s-off, so I tried it with the easy s-off tool
But when i try the easy s-off tool, it says wrong kernel / rom.
How can i flash it? Do i need to get a stock kernel (and from where?) or is there another way to do ENG s-off ?

You are supposed to read and search through the forum before asking any question! Here is the guide for flashing the radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896597
Which version of the stock ROM are you on? The easy s-off tool works like a charm.
Any plans of installing custom ROMs? Try flashing a new radio after that... ARHD2.0.9, for example, is an awesome ROM. You will not only be able to get more out of your DHD but also have complete control over it!
Sorry, but there was too many information
But i did it, thx.
The only problem i got now, is that my Gapps wont install ?

Gapps are bundled in ARHD roms so you should not have an issue here.

i need steps to follow
1 - root
2 - S-Off
3 - Official RUU
Etc , just the steps to follow and then i will read it's topics...cuz i don't what should i do first
1st of all to root ur phone u need to downgrade to 1.32 follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
then to root i personally prefer a command line approach as u have more control vs an automated tool on what its actually doing, so try this guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#VERIFY_.28using_.22gfree_verify.22.29
all the links to files u will need are in the guide.
after that u will be downgraded , rooted , S-OFF , super cid and clockworkmod installed.
for the clockworkmod step id flash Version 3.2.0.0 from the forums, instead of the 3.0.2.5, in the guide, as its the most recent official version.
link to CWM 3.2.0.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003723
do a Nandroid backup and install a ROM , dunno bout the official RUU roms as i dont use them myself, and if ur going to all this trouble to Root ur device, u might as well try some of the excellent custom ROMS, alot of the Sense roms r very close to stock and support arabic.. Ive used Leedroid & ARHD which are sense based and try'd Miui roms and currently back using Cyanogenmod7-Nightly
Hi Fellow xda.
I have flashed the official Gingerbread ota update ruu to my desire.
After that i realized that i couldnt root or go back to Oxygen rom, now that the hboot version is 1.02
Before i had hboot version 0.93 i think.
I have tried the downgrade to 2.1
and root again with unrevoked.
None of these 2 methods work.
Is there any other way to go back to rooted and custom recovery to oxygen rom or hboot 0.93?.
With oxygen and launcherpro my desire feels faster than stock sense
Anyone else have this problem?
There is currently no method of downgrading the hboot or rooting the official GB RUU.
I guess all you can do is wait until somebody figures a way to root and install custom recovery

Ops good job I never installed this. I read others having this problem also.
Same situation, precipitaded mself, now can't root and all my backups are Titanium backups, have nandroid backups but can't use them....
damn...
isn't it possible to downgrade hboot?
I am also facing this problem. Is there any solution available now?

Device:
HTC Desire: Android 2.3.3 official Gingerbread rom.
No solution - check Alpharev/Unrevoked updates - if there will be a solution, it will probably be in the developement section.
Someone said that they used a Froyo RUU to downgrade then they just rooted. But it didn't work for other people but I think its with a shot. Otherwise you'll have to wait.
Swyped...
Hmmmm...I did not know about this...
I did not flash the RUU directly but tried to flash the rooted or modified ones from this forum...and decided to keep InsertCoin 1.0.9
How did the devs root it then? Perhaps, try asking Baadnewz and/or NeoPhyTe for help, since they have released the rooted official update.
I don't think they rooted it as such, but more of "ported" it. I don't know a thing about rom development but go and ask him.

The difference is that when u run the ruu, it will overwrite ur hboot, ur recovery, ur rom, ecc, everything...So u lost root, because the ruu restore everything as stock.
In particular after run the ruu, the new hboot installed doesn't allow to root again and doesn't allow to change hboot at the moment.
Instead, when u flash the rooted rom based on official gb (u already have root and u don't lost it, simply), the zip contain only the rom part and with inside the super user apk (that allow root permission), so flashing it u will continue to have ur recovery, ur hboot, ur root permissions.
Instead when running the ruu, so u lost root, there is no way to install again a custom recovery and there is no way to push the super user apk into the rom (unrevoked / alpharev doesn't work)..At the moment.
From devs side, create a rooted rom is easy, as they extract from the ruu only the rom and make it rooted pushing in the zip that they are going to create the super user apk and some other tweaks to the kernel as well...All this can be done with the dsixda kitchen
I hope everything is clear now

That you did. There are plenty of threads with that information available.
is there a way to root now?
we should wait?
Okay well then i guess im stuck like others :S
i was just thinking if there was a way to get superuser rights by using the terminal or adb.
i did also try the old root method for the desire that came before unrevoked. That didnt work.
Thank goodness...I was tempted to flash the original RUU...but my stomach told me not to do it...I would have been in the same situation if had flashed it too...
I hope there will be an easy solution in the near future for you guys
@andQlimax: Thanks for the information so...so, I hit the thanks button

That's prob as close as you'll get to the update without flashing the RUU.

Have the same problem as others here. Tried both apk and adb with GingerBreak. No luck
...but I'm trying to play around a bit and got a noob idea to use ARUWizard to flash custom rom. I've extracted RUU 2.29 and RUU 2.3.3 and replaced 2.3.3 rom.zip with the one from 2.29. It didn't work of course as newer version has been discovered but I was wondering if it's possible just to root the standard rom.zip and put it back. Is there any chance that it works?
Have anyone rooted htc desire with Gingerbread RUU update ?

Hi,
I've a Wildfire with the stock ROM 2.2.1. Now i want to upgrade it to some custom ROM. Is it possible for me to Root and install a Custom ROM in my Wildfire. Till now i've not rooted this fone and also heard that after upgrading to stock ROM 2.2.1 it's not possible. Searched the Forum but could not find the relevant thread. Would be thankful if someone can guide me to proper thread or solution.

Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda app-developers app
Hi,

Software number: 2.25.720.1
Yes its possible, I had the same.
Go to htcdev.com and unlock ur bootlaoder, no downgrade needed..instructions are there on the site as to how to unlock it.
Use gingerbreak or z4root or 1click root or any such tiny app and you will be rooted.
