[Q] How to Downgrade desire hd? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I want to root my desire hd but to do that I need to have Froyo on my desire hd. I readed a few guides to downgrade the desire hd but for all of them i need to have Advanced Ace Hack Kit. Now since that has been discontinued i don't know how to downgrade it. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Why do you need to downgrade?

Because i want to root my desire hd. and you need to downgrade to froyo to root it.

thanks for your reply but the only problem is that i can't download the PD98IMG.zip in the thread because I'm getting a survey.
Do you know where i can download it?

The only way aside from the retired AAHK is to unlock the bootloader. You don't need to downgrade to do that.

I messed for ages with the hack kit but there doesnt seem to be a reliable download for the PD98IMG.
Use HTDEV to unlock hboot
Fastboot flash a recovery
Use recovery to install a custom rom
Fastboot flash the roms boot.img (extract from the rom zip)
Hope this helps
Stu

thanks for your replies but I fixed it. I just downloaded a froyo RUU and now I have froyo and its rooted.

Yes you can. Downgrade it to 0.83 and then use the Unrevoked method to gain root access.

(sorry, I can't post links)
I had to do this when mine came back from HTC loaded with 0.92 after a repair, so can tell you it works perfectly.
try using this, a universal downgrader
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
worked for me bootloader 0.92
You can downgrade and root here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
Nice i was about to ask the same thing...
The problem is when you say to downgrade from 0.92 to 0.83 it means that you will get 2.1...
Is there a way to maintain the 2.2 and root?
Or is there a way to root 2.1 and then install 2.2?

Once rooted just load a custom ROM of your choice.
hi, if i want to load after 2.1 root the original 2.2 will it be still rooted?
here was mentioned update unrevoked 3.2, which suppose to work on any HBOOT, but in www.unrevoked.com/recovery can't download at the mom cause they fix some bugs )

how to flash the RUU, and how to know the right one to my DHD ?

[Q] Getting started, with.... everything.

Hello,
I have a Desire HD, and I am looking to root, however, I have some concerns,
(I'm hoping that a list is not too boring!)
1. I have the 1.72 update
2. I have no idea, whatsoever on how to back up my current config, without rooting my device (and possibly loosing everything)
3. How to root using visionary? ....
4. Installing ROM When finished?
5. Is there some sort of start to finish n00b proof guide?
Thanks,
T
Hi,
you're on 1.72 so you need to downgrade first.
Follow this excellent guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
After this you have 1.32.405.3 Stock firmware and you're able to root using visionary+.
Ok, so after that, could i install MIUI First, straight off?
Or do i have to go to stock first?
After downgrading and rooting, you have to set ENG S-OFF and Radio S-OFF and then you can flash MIUI.
Please read the guides @ Android Development Forums.

Hi guys. Can anyone teach me how to upgrade HTC Desire HD android version 2.2 to 2.3 Ginger? What are the consequence of upgrade my phone? Will my phone be formatted if I upgrade it? I hope you guys can help. I really don't know much about HTC Desire HD. Thanks
You can use the HTC OTA update, or if your phone is rooted, flash a GingerBread custom ROM.

you can check for OTA update manually. If it's not done so....go to setting > software informatin. check for update..
If your phone isn't rooted you want to root your phone. ya'll get variety of custom ROM options. You can flash any ROM ya like.
To downgrade your phone 1.7x/1.8x/2.x to 1.32.405.6 and root follow this

If your software number is 1.32 or below go to root party straight away.

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.
