Dear All,
I am new with android, I have HTC Desire HD with froyo. I want to upgrade my phone to GingerBread 2.3.5 with latest Sense/UI. But i donot know how to do.
I have the following question.
1) What software should I have with windows xp?
2: How to start up-gradation, I mean what will be the first step.
3) What does S-off mean and Radio S-off.
4) Does HTC have official update for gingerbread in pakistan by online.

Hey, I´ve used the search tool, but couldn´t find anything.
I would like to Root my HTC Desire HD, so I can Install the new Android Revolution 6.x (Android 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 )
My Phone is currently running:
Android 2.3.3
Sense 2.1
Baseband Version 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel Version 2.6.35.10
Build Number 2.50.405.2
Software Number 2.50.405.2
My Phone has no branding!
Is rooting possible for me?
Can Someone please help me?
I am totaly new to rooting, so I would appreciate a step by step tutorial.
That makes two of looking for the same information, any help out there please
YES rooting is possible.
I rooted my Dhd about two weeks ago and all went well.
I spent about a week reading lots of different sites. All using different methods in the end I used a guide on driphter.com
Forum > Everything Android > HTC Desire HD/Inspire 4G > General Discussion > [GUIDE] Downgrade, Root, Radio & Eng S-OFF DHD/Inspire 4G in 9 Steps
if your unbranded you can skip the goldcard step.
i also had to download the PD98IMG using my phone and move it to the root (not in any folder) of the sd card using astro
the only other step i changed was to install visionary+ from blackmart alpha (google it. Its a blackmarket market) the install from the toolkit didn't work for me.
JSL is very good/quick to answer questions on that fourm.
Hope this helps.
What do I need S-Off for?
What does it do?
Thanks for the Help, Ill try it out...
(I hope I dont brick my phone)

You need s-off to flash new roms its an added security HTC add.
I think it stands for security off but i'm not 100% sure if anyone wants to correct me/let mr know please do.
I can´t download the ToolKit
Something seems to be wrong with the .zip file...
Any other way?

Could it be your Antivirus is killing the download? check to see if it is being held in Quarantine.
Take Care

Hi, I am new here and i need some help.
I want to install new rom with sense 3.0 on my htc desire hd, but I don't know how.
software information: Android version 2.3.3
Sense version 2.1
Software number 2.50.111.5
Hi
As I know there is not an Offical Update to Sense 3 for DHD
you'll need to root you device and flash a costum ROM.
for that you'll need to get to the Development Section - I've posted link of the FAQ section and there you'll need to read a-l-o-t before you'll take any action with your device:

Enjoy Reading! and if you got other question i'm suggesting read all of the posts there and you'll get your answer.
I did a ARHD upgrade using a "long" way; reading a lot of stuff, gathering a lot of tools and stuff. The upgrade task was a quite easy and quick operation after all, but before the first one you just don't know what to expect.
There is one tool which advertises to do all pre-reqs (s-off, root, clockworkmod, supercid if needed etc) in one step:

before you jump in head first and possibly brick your phone, if this is your first time rooting, remember to read the stickes, i recommend these two first:
