Hi Fellow Xda-ers,
I am new here and have been browsing thr forums for a few weeks, and its this place that made me get the dhd.
Any who i got the handset two days ago, Its on contract, Locked to Orange Uk, Running Android 2.3.3 with a software number of: 2.37.61.11.
Now i have been looking around the forums and scratching my head for ages trying to find out if i am able to:
1.) Root
2.) DownGrade
3.) Flash custom roms.
Any advise is appreciated,
Thanks.
I'm sorry pal, build 2.37 can't downgrade yet, so you can't root. Our fellow modders are working on a workaround with no success yet.

Yes. If you are married or have a partner spend the time with them now because when they work out the fix for 2.37 you will only have eyes for your DHD
Lmao true true. So no nodding what so ever ? Lol

gratz enjoy ur phone as we should be able to enjoy it i've been soo happy with mine since I unlocked/changed room
Hi. I ve dhd. It's s-off with build number 2.37 running gingerbread 2.3.3. So my question can I downgrade without having to temproot first cuz its s-off..
Desperately waiting for ur answer
Im afraid not, if you are on contract do what i did, Call your provider tell them its stuck in a bootloop due to a failed ota rom update, and they will replace the phone for you, well maybe, Orange UK did, i called in 7.30pm and received the phone next morning.
Then that way you "may" get a phone that has not been updated, the replacement i got was on 2.1 :0)
so i just got my htc evo 4g got it for 99.99 thought it was a great deal so i picked it up not looking to root for some roms o.c. kernal etc.. what is the greatest and best rom and kernal running right now but for now i need some easy root methods i am currently running linux ubuntu 10.1 i don't know if that will cause problems or not i did a one click root for my optimus s earlier this year wondering what everyones best root method is i am running 2.2 baseband is 2.15.00.11.19 kernal is 2.6.32-17 software version is 3.70.651.1 i don't know if any of this makes a difference but all the help would be appreciated i need it working asap cause i have a transformer by asus and need free tethering asap

oh my, you're gonna get super flamed for this. ROM is preference. There are lots of great ones. Read the stickies for root, don't accept any OTA updates..if you update OTA the 2.3 kiss rooting goodbye..Read! Then read some more. This is the friendliest advice you are going to get from this thread you started..I promise.
Go with unrevoked. Check out YouTube. There are many great walk throughs of it there. Just make sure video is for latest unrevoked (think its 3.2) !!watch full video a few times b4 u attempt it 2 get familiar with what's gonna happen. U can always ruin back. Do it on a windows PC is my advice.

no.
No not yet, not until the developers find away past the security.

so the new rom doesn't have the unlocked bootloader they should be working on at HTC, and it's only locked tighter?
I doubt they are worried about implementing that for the Desire Z.
what about any downgrading possibility?

Nope, downgrade won't work either (for now). Its the same with the G2 Gingerbread ROM. Someone needs to crack it and figure out how to downgrade or root.
If you accepted the OTA, and want root, you screwed up.

Do you still need help? You have to downgrade to a stock froyo ROM, then you will be able to root and flash a new ROM.
Yep, I still need help. Looking for as many instructions as possible to compare and choose the best one as the last thing I want is to brick the phone....

I have the 2.3.1 version.
Also, all the roots are for CWM ... how about ODIN?
I mean, i just bought this phone. I had Galaxy S 4G. And after unlock i lost my IMEI.... So i am careful now.
Is there a nice clean way to root the phone using ODIN in PDA section?
Thanks.

If for some reason your looking to use Odin and root your phone using the pda slot you first need to know the letters and combine them. If your eyes don't betrayed there is one thread here in development. Yes the first couple of words in that thread are something about rooting

Thanks. But
1. This method is probably OK only with certain ROM's I do not want to risk my Phone. Also This method is not ODIN its CWM.
2. My question remains unansweed : Can I root using supeoneclick? I mean if i can then this way would be universal to any ROM. At least it was for SGS 4G.
Thank you guys for help.
You can use superone click on 2.3.5 but after the 2.3.6 update it doesnt work. There ya go.

2.3.5 IS the last version of Android OS it works for on our device, not the version number of the program. Hit menu>settings>about phone and you will find you version number. If you are above version 2.3.5 SuperOneClick will not work. Hope that clears it up for ya !

OH OK.
So just to clear that up :
SOC will root 2.3.6 on SGS 4G, but not on SGS II ? interesting.
So how did you root yours? CWM via ODIN and then Installed the Zip file?
Will it work on my KL1 Official ROM?
Thank you all guys for your support.
I am new to SGS 2, my old SGS 4G i know from inside out... This one is different i gather.
Glad that got clarified. Yes i used odin and the flashed zip file. Very easy.

The thing is almost all the ROMs to flash here are already rooted. On my latest GS2 (I have had 3) I just ran odin and flashed CWM, then installed my choice of rom. No rooting necessary, there are also stock rooted/debloated ROMs if you wanna stay as close to stock as possible
Zerg rush works really well as a one click rooter , then I used rommanager to flash cwm. Superoneclick is a nice app though

i read somewhere here that this device is closestly related to the s iii mini correct ? please correct me if my memory has holes i read fast and did not think that was important at the time. i have compared the chipset of the msm8960 and gpu on wikipedia to try to find other devices with the same CPU GPU combo so that i might troll their section of the forums here and see if any boot loader unlocks or by pass's were found for devices with similar make and model. if i can find a similar device i can inquiry about the attack used and then check if that attack is potential for this device,
my bandwidth is very limited , but my processing power is beyond most of yours , i have 5 blade servers at my disposal , and never any work to do , so working on this can pass some time .. lol
You mentioned earlier in another post also that this device is not msm8960 and rather an msm8930 , can you please explain this to me ? as to why ? why is cpuz reporting msm8960 instead of msm8930 if in fact this devices is msm8930 ?
also another though , i see that this chipset T217A now thanks to your info is potentially locked bootloader. this devices feels like nothing more than a beefed up S4 to me , im thinking could it be possible to use their attacks from same similar chipsets to unlock ?
if all you have for answers is no , then please dont be upset when i do not listen ...
it appears that the chips in this devices are the same as the Samsung galaxy Mega and S4 mini , i am hoping development in their area can lead to a positive for this device also , hopefully the same methods can be used from their if one exsists at all
Nah im just hoping for safestrap or something im kinda getting sick of seeing the locked bootloader on att s4. mf3 and att tab3 its like seriously now

Yea i agree locked by At&t is pissing me off too i got a note 3 and sgs 3 and tab 3 7.0 through att and i cant do what i want , i know why they dont want me to , cause my sgs 3 is totally mine , they cant monitor my useage and see if im tethering anymore , which of course i am , running cm they no longer can tell that im tethering to all my other devices and they no longer have control ,
i will google more and read more but i have alot going on right now , my son takes up alot of my time , ive built the sdk and started looking at the tab but i dont know much right now ,
i did find kingo one click root worked , without breaking the lock , it reboots just fine , i did have issues when after rooting i had to forcefully update root , through the store , but it worked and the counter is not tripped.
my note 3 its tripped , im looking forward to the unlocking of these devices so i can remove that stuipd lock and replace with custom boot logo
Right^ I went to the at&t store yesterday because the s4 wont show up on my computer when I connect it.. and if it does, I try making a new folder on my sd card and my computer force closes. Lmao the tab 3 7.0 I wish had some developement of somesort, but not being able to do crap kinda makes my phone and tabs no longer really fun anymore. Almost makes me want to craigslist lolz...
