I bought a DHD that is networked "unlocked". Is that the same thing as being bootloader unlocked?
If I was to use the Easy Ace Root Kit would I still need to unlock the bootloader with it or if they are the same thing, do I have to relock it first?
cheers
Network unlocked is a different thing than bootloader. Please refer to the hack kit in desire hd android development

OP, Hack Kit is retired. Network unlocked means that you can use any network's SIM Card in it. Bootloader is something else. You night want to do a quick search

I mean I didn't realise that I wrote hack kit. I wanted to tell him about the other method (don't remember what it's called) posted in the Desire HD Android Development forum.
Edit: Again my bad, it is in Desire HD General, named how to root without hack kit

It's been a while since I've visited this forum. As an ex G1 owner and since September a DHD owner, I'm a little somewhat out of the game.
I successfully rooted my G1 basically just to get the phone to function and have not rooted the DHD as of yet, as its met my needs well ( upto now ).
I've searched and searched for info on rooting and am gutted to learn I can't use a one click method as the phone is nand locked.
I'm hoping to put his out to you guys, not for the easiest option, but as I'm very rusty with whole rooting thing, I'm hoping you can advise me on which you think is the safest, most stable and worthwhile.
Also, is there any difference in root options as per where you reside ( I.e. UK, US ) as to which downloads needed to root?
Thanks for any help guys

this is that you should to do for obtain superuser permission (root):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076
visionary Rxx its the most secure option to root your device,, it´s a "one click" tool and works with 1.32xxx versions of official firmwares..
if you have an upper version, browse "how to downgrade" in the bar of above
if you have android 2.3.3 via OTA, browse about "gingerbreak"
cheeerssss
Thanks man, so it doesn't matter which tool I use for a UK phone?
Downgrading shouldn't be a problem, its just obtaining the right files I guess. Thanks again

Correct. But if you have problems with one method try the other. For example, try the one click methods first but if you get stuck try the full command line style methods.
Ok, my personal preference would be to follow the long hand method as detailed on the cyanogenmod wiki. Reasons being that using visionary is unnecessary so why do it ,secondly if you do it long hand and it fails, unlikely as that is you'll know where and hopefully why, thirdly I like the geek factor off doing it the awkward way. This will work fine on a UK DHD as it's how miner was rooted.
Duplicate post, sorry

My phone is on a t mobile contract, but doesn't have any branding on the phone itself or the screen on boot up. Am I right in thinking I can bypass the goldcard part for rooting?

Yep, although what he should have done was actually follow advice given in his thread and feedback, rather than create a thread, do what the hell he wants and now end up in a situation where he can't root.
Ah well, lesson learned hopefully. At least the phone works.
at least till he will be rooted(if will be)... i dont understand these cross experiments... one will flash black rose otherone alpharev on cdma... im experimenting on my spare desire but limits are set...

People who Black Rose on Desire ought to have a sanity check. I'd definitely pronounce them insane and utterly stupid. How does one flash a hboot hack from the N1 forum accidentally?

If you bought it recently, give it back to the seller, if he doesn't take it back, root it and install a custom ROM and it should work.

Search AAHK on google You'll find the thread, just follow the instructions to the LETTER! And read the Effen Manual 3 times before attempting root, just to be sure.

Before you start, read it about 5 times, seriously. The hack kit was designed to be somewhat confusing/to get you used to reading. Once you understand it, you'll see that it is quite simple. If you don't understand something, search for it, and if after that you still have problems, come back here and we will help you out.

waazza, if you are stuck in the white splash screen, there's a chance that the Hack Kit won't detect your phone...if that happens and u still can boot in hboot choose the fastboot method.

Hi guys,
I'm a complete noob on here and only really registered to ask this question. I'm selling my Desire HD in order to fund for the Samsung Galaxy S3.
I've rooted my HD and I want to get it back to stock when it first comes in the box
Can somebody please walk me through how to do this?
Also, it would be incredibly helpful if someone posted instructions for Mac.
Please do not abbreviate anything.
Thanks in advance!

although there have been [unsuccessful] attempts at a soft[ware]-unlock, the only known way(s) to unlock or s-off [gsm] one v is through a hardware solution. lg(e) tool or riff box both offer methods.
HTC won't give us S-OFF ever so forget about it. They won't even change CID if you pay em, this been asked already why not search before posting?

SuperCID and S-off can be obtained through various jtag methods: known lg(e) tool, riff box & medusa for gsm variant.
