Hi,
I just installed a custom ROM for the first time on my DHD with stock 2.3.5.
I used Glevitan's tutorial and tool to do it. It gives you a rooted, S-ON DHD with CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500 (prefer his tool instead of HTCDev, even if it uses HTCDev procedure too).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133336
Just take your time and follow his instructions. Every should be okay.
If I have time this week-end, I will detail more every step.
Have fun !

Found clues for rooting.

I found a forum where there talking of rooting Wildfire S (Htc Marvel)
Unfortunatly , this forum is in Chinese language.
There is the link with google translate : http://translate.googleusercontent....1.html&usg=ALkJrhgeEKjydt_I6ck9muCipyxUwFujLA
Hope there is going to help root of Wildfire S
The Wildfire S can already be rooted by using Gingerbreak.
Only if you have S-Off device ... With XTC Clip... We search to do without the clip.

Not really. It can only be rooted with GingerBreak on some firmware versions. For instance, the Bell Canada Wildfire S has a very recent firmware version that can't be rooted with GingerBreak. They fixed the exploit.
Here are the Chinese instructions to root the Wildfire S. It's pretty clear and straightforward and only works with S-OFF. I haven't tried it yet though
http://bbs.xda.cn/thread-7706280-1-1.html
(translate it with Google Chrome, just right click and "Translate to English".
Or the fully translated link:
http://translate.google.com/transla...n&u=http://bbs.xda.cn/thread-7706280-1-1.html
By the way... "brush" means "boot".
I am attaching the root.zip file they used to root so you guys don't have to register on the chinese forum.
The process is basically boot into recovery and flash that file.
I have recently bought a Wildfire S with 2.3.3 ROM. Can I root it by flasing the root.zip?
Will I not brick my phone?
Is it a permanent root?
Thanks for answers, in advance!
The zipfile appears to only have files for /system; so your bootloader and recovery is unaffected. Even *if* it bricks your phone, you can reflash a stock rom without problems.
In other words, there is *zero* risk in trying it out yourself.
Do you know what the Bell one can be rooted with?

Currently it can't be rooted with GingerBreak nor SuperOneClick. I haven't tried the chinese method specified above because I haven't seen my girlfriend in a few days and she's the one with this phone.
Why not just install a custom recovery and then a rooted ROM instead, would make everything so much easier.

Yep, but I don't think the chinese method is complicated at all. We'd have to try it first though. I haven't found yet a rooted ROM for this phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186354
If you look in the code box it says it has root permissions with Superuser installed.
it have been rooted
Tested on stock European ROM (S-OFF with XTC clip) and works perfectly. Just flash it with the custom recovery and reboot!

AAHK has already retired. If you take a look at second post (Sticky post) in in this general section, you can see the thread entitled "[How to] ROOT without the Hack Kit".
However, this tools will not provide s-off to you. Only give you privilege to run root and install custom ROM.
You are tech people? Able to reverse-engineered windows files in a few hours? Then this is ADVANCE method to achieve s-off > http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=411

AAHK will not working because the tools is automated to download certain files after it query your phone version info in order to downgrade it accordingly. And these files have already taken down from the server.
Please read the thread carefully in order to understand what the tools is supposed to be doing before run it. :good:

It needs Internet, but more than that, it downloads files from a server that is no longer up. Unlock the bootloader; it's the only easy way right now to get root and recovery, but you won't get S-Off. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500

Is almost "easy" to follow and you will have your phone rooted.
It is not possible to install a recovery from gg play. You can use another app instead, but your phone must to be rooted before.
The most easy way to install a recovery image is using flashboot, anyway the tool I give you before flash the recovery for you

[Q] Need help. Rooting and S-off gone terribly wrong

Noob here
I decided to try and get jelly on my 2 y/o phone and it went really wrong. I tried different guides on how to root and S-off. Now i have lost all control.
The only thing my phone can show is HBoot (volumedown+pwr menu) and clockworkmod recovery.
I think it's rooted, but s-off didn't work out for me.
could anyone please help fixing that and get CM 10.1 working on it or at least restore it so it have android again?
I'd you want help you need to provide details. What state was your phone in? What exactly did you do? What state is it in now? Were there any error messages?

State before was Android 2.3.5 Sense 3 i think. Just normal according to HTC spec nothing modified and everything working.
Bootloader is unlocked, S-on, maybe rooted, no OS, only have clockworkmod and the defualt screen from pwr+volumedown.
The only procedure i really got to do anything was this Full HTC Desire HD (sense 3.0/android 2.3.5) guide to root, S-OFF/Sim Unlock
I had problem with /sbin/sh errors during this procedure. Also i got some others fails from codes. i couldn't get "adb shell /data/local/tmp/goldcard -c <string of numbers and letters should go here> -o /data/local /tmp/goldcard.img" to do a thing.
I don't know if there is much else to tell. but i have now used 2 days and i have surrendered and need some serious assistance think.
thx for helping
If all you want to do is root and flash a custom ROM, an unlocked boot loader and a custom recovery is all you need.
Install original is from HTC and then root it with oneclickroot than install what every you want. I think oneclickroot is the only working app for desire hd latest Rom version

The best option for a noob sounds the Easy Ace Root Tool, as suggested in this topic. But what I dont know is what to do after the tool is done...
If I understand well, this tool wil unlock the bootloader, provides root access and flash ClockworkMod Recovery, right?
Can someone give me some information about the next steps?

Yes, you understand correctly. Next you flash a rooted custom ROM from recovery. You get those from the development forum. After you install it from recovery, you will need to fastboot flash the boot.img from the ROM zip using your computer.
is it enouhg to open the h-boot over the htc-dev page and after this to install maybe twrp for recovery,to flash roms on a desire hd,ofcource with flashing the boot.img with fastboot.Icant find another,actual way to root my DHD?!?

If you're rooted (and with ARHD you should be, unless you removed it) you can install the 4ext updater apk from the 4ext website (google for it). Then, install the recovery from the app.

the guide was really easy to follow. the step by step on tacoroot. just make sure your sdk is up to date and add the path in advanced system settings "environment variables" for platform tools. make sure miniadb_inc2 is on root of C drive. follow steps. I think the little details can really throw some one off. It happened to me
But yeah I got S-off flashed the ICS firmware for the new radio 0320
Running Viper ROM 1.3.1
Well when ur flashing custom kernels or firmware its a lot better to be s-off that way you dont wind up turning your phone into a paperweight. Besides a lot more customization can be of use with s-off vs unlocked boot loader. Hope this helps.
