ive done everything correctly and i managed to get the S-OFF.
but when i try to run a rooted app (ex. ROM MANAGER) it tells me that im not rooted.
Any Help?
Ive managed to Get ClockWorkmod Recovery on my phone but thats it.
plz help !
Just load a custom rom on the root of your sd card, and flash it from recovery, all custom roms have root built into them. Make a nandriod back up of your current rom prior to flashing the custom rom, this also can be done from recovery.
You can find a stock rooted Tmobile rom HERE.

If you wana stay stock, best just flash the rooted stock image which can be found in the dev section.
thanks...figured that would be the best thing, just wanted to ask to be sure
I followed these instructions and was fine. I prefer to keep my own ROM.

My wife's desire HD which is still running the original stock froyo and stock. about 18m ago I remember making it S-off and super-CID (remove simlock) I unrooted it made a backup. and then removed just the root so my wife didn't inadvertantly mess it up.
It now got problems with battery drain I suspect the programs are conflicting with the old froyo rom. As such I want to upgrade it to ICS.
I can enter the clockworkMod recovery v2.5.1.3.
Can I just install zip through recovery, or do I need to unroot? if so how best to root.
Also the bootloaders for ICS do they get installed with the ROM or do I need to prep it with a pre-install? if so where do I get it from?
I search for any wiki guides but could not find the answers.
thanks

If you are still S-OFF as u say u are, just download the Superuser App from the play store, update binary in the app options and then reboot. You should be rooted then. If you update to GB never flash a froyo RUU again...you will mess the bootloader and that seems to be trendy!! :good:
Looks like tiredness has got the better of me and I screwed up my bootloader (I think).
I purchased a pre-rooted DHD, it was rooted through Advance Ace Hack Kit. I have 4ext installed as the recovery and have Ice cold sandwich flashed. I do have a nandroid backup of the rom.
Unfortunately I was running Advance Ace Hack Kit just to see what the options were as I was looking for installing an eng bootloader, unfortunately I selected option 1 by mistake and the software started running, phone rebooted a few times and now it's just stuck at the splash screen. I was in two minds to stop it mid-process but thought that might make things worse.
I also cannot access my 4ext recover, instead I get the red triangle and the htc recovery.
Damn, I'm annoyed with myself. I am tired and got momentarily distracted. I know one thing, if this can be fixed I won't be doing this again:crying:
Can this be brought back to life?
Ok, I have got myself out of this predicament by installing the stock wwe rom. Thankfully the phone rebooted, started up and the phone is back in business.
Of course I am still s-off, however I assume I am now unrooted.
Is there an easy option to root the device bearing in mind the phone is s-off? I want to root and flash cwm or 4ext.
Thanks.
Wht version of the Rom did u flash

In the "Ace Think Tank" thread (linked in my signature), post #7, there is a PDF that includes instructions on flashing a custom recovery from an S-OFF phone. Start from the bottom of page 9, the section labeled "S-OFF no custom recovery." After that, just flash a rooted ROM from the recovery.
Or, assuming you have a working ROM, you could look into SuperOneClick. I think it roots a ROM if the phone is S-OFF (however, I have never used it and can't speak to its reliability). Then you can just flash a recovery from an app like ROM Manager or 4ext Updater.
Finally, again assuming you have a working ROM, you could try flashing SuperSU from the zip here. Again, untested, but it has restored root on at least one occasion that I know of to an unrooted ROM.
Please note that I'm just throwing ideas around. If anyone knows that any of these methods doesn't work please say so.
Hello all,
Thanks for the replies.
I have the phone working, I installed the wwe htc sense rom that comes with 2.3.5 and sense 3.0. Pretty much my phone is factory reset, but at least it works now.
I lost root but do have s-off.
Use superoneclick. 2.3.3 it can easy root stock sense 3.0 when you are S-OFF which you are already.
1.First press temp root and wait for it to finish.
2.second root and wait for it to finish.
3.enjoy.
Got it sorted. I flashed a cwm recovery zip from an sdcard in bootloader. With cwm flashed, I could restore a nandroid backup. Back in business again.
If you want to unbrick your phone, you need to download an official RRU, or RUU or whatever it is that it is called. It is an EXE file that you download on your computer and run it. You can get it from HTC website, or google it. It's a stock setup of your phone. So you put the phone in red triangle mode, connect it to PC, and run the RRU file. It starts its magic and the phone will be back to stock with the sense and GB and everything. Use the Ace Hack Kit again to get it rooted and S-OFF if it isnt already and then install RoM as you want to.
Hi guys, so the owner wiped everything from the phone and he want it back to stock now
S-ON and no custom recovery installed,
I've googled for a method to turn S-OFF but they all require a rooted ROM. what to do?
thanks in advance.
I have answered how to s-off and root Desire HD before in many threats.You can see this post.
You can also check here a newest guide.In this guide as I think you are installing a prerooted rom instead of unlocking bootloader with htc_devs unlock and flashing custom recovery to root the device.
