[Q] Can you root desire hd 2.3.5 on mac? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey everyone,
currently im using desire hd on 2.3.5 sense 3.0 and im pretty bored of the OS on it so was hoping to put a custom rom onto it. Ive researched for hours but havent found anything useful as im using a mac and dont have access to a windows computer. If anyone has a simple guide how to root it and install a new rom using a mac, i would be extreeeemleeyyyy appreciative. Thanks again. Peace!

im guessing here, but if you can boot linux from some live cd you might be a bit closer...

Why don't you try Vmware fusion? Just install it and make a virtial machine with windows, you can use it when you need, simple

Just use ROM Manager It will install recovery without adb or a computer. Just do it through an Android app.
But if you want to use AmonRA, you can follow any of the above links. You'll need the Android adb tool and drivers I believe (if you are running on Windows or Linux). On Mac, all you need is adb.

So basically... I have a unrooted, unhacked etc. Desire.. I want to test some of the new 2.2 roms..
Can I, without my phone being rooted, use "rom manager" from the market and flash a custom recovery, from where I can flash roms, radios etc.? Or do I have to something before I can utilize the power of "rom manager"?.... What about the new "fake-flash" released a couple of days ago?
Excuse me, but i'm coming from an HTC Hero where the only thing you did, was using flashrec...
I'm a little confused with all the guides around here.. Some say you have to use a PC/mac (I have a mac) to "root" the desire... Others say that there is a simpler way... I'm looking for the safest and simplest ... I like when procedures are convenient

To root it you'll need a pc/mac running linux, windows or whatever macs run. Afterwards there are workarounds that makes flashing ROMs relatively simple, without having to initiate recovery form a computer first. So step one: follow the root guide in the stickied thread.

The best Dhd rom

Hi folks,
I am new here and i am interesting to here from you which rom is the best for you.(battery life,speed..etc).
Thanx a lot
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
That is up to. If I were you, I would try different Roms.
If you like Sense then the best are Android Revolution, LeeDroid HD and Core Droid.
If you like Stock Android, the best are Cyanogenmod 6 (Android 2.2) and Cyanogenmod 7 (Android 2.3).
But in the end it is up to you...
I know ..tnx man.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
No problem mate.
If you are a newbie than you should use the Android Revolution HD because it is very close to the Stock Rom, it is fast, stable and has a good battery drain.
Just for info: There is a "Thanks" Button
I'm a noob and you cam see what i'm using

It's quite normal that newbies use the Android Revolution HD because it is, as I already said, very close to stock Rom.

You have to start with downgrading to 1.32.. because the 1.7.. can't be permrooted and root is the basis for everthing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
Then you can root with VISIONary+, make Radio/ENG S-OFF, flash a custom recovery...
here are complete guides for you:

If you have question then ask them in these threads.
okee, starting: installing .netframework 4 on my windows 7 USB debugging is checked.
IF you have a branded device, you have to make a Goldcard. Use "mmc2" instead of "mmc1"!!
uhm i dont have a branded device, like t-mobile right?
so i dont have to make a goldcard?
I did follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537&highlight=root as mention and it works greate. Can browse my local partition, install radio, ROM, full contole over my phones files....

I had this problem as well and I solved it by rebooting. Try to reboot one time and try again, if it's still blackscreen try to reboot again. If this doesn't work I'll let anyone with better experience help you
No,no...like i said...after black screen now i have normal screen and use phone like before..i just want to ask...my phone is rooted?How i to know that?
Also,can i continue with next steps...s off and etc?
Tnx

Take a loock at this, step by step http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YxNE79Wbp0&feature=related.
Do not tick any option, only push temproot and when finnish push at permroot then it will reboot

[Q] Unable to Root

Hi can someone help? I have the desire HD running stock gingerbread 2.3.3 on vodafone. Build no 2.36.161.12..I have searched every forum and tried every way to root the phone but failed . Has anyone actually managed to root their dhd from same stock set up as my phone?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Hi
What actually happens when you attempt to root? What is the actual error you experience?
Also, I think that the newer builds are not yet root-able but the developers are working on it round the clock.
Hi mate
Well I tried to downgrade using gingerbreak and the cmd prompt on my PC, but it doesn't seem to work this way think it said adb out of date on every command Line, but can't remember exactly, I also can't seem to successfully make a gold card but then I'm not sure how that works anyway......
Can u suggest a method that should definatly work?
When I had my HTC desire bravo it was easy to root & flash roms.
I appreciate your advice

Hi,
Do you have the latest SDK installed on your machine?
Your firmware build can be downgraded, its probably your system setup.
Sdk? Is that a driver? I don't know what that is then? I asumed that the HTC sync I had on my pc had the drivers?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Actually I remeber now I did try and.install Sdk on my pc running windows 7 but it said I needed extra java stuff to run it...
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
SDK = Software Development Kit
If you download THIS FILE, and then install the SDK.
Once downloaded & installed follow Steps 1, 2b & 3 from THIS THREAD
For ease of use its probably best to install the SDK to C:\SDK or similar.
Thank you ill give it a go
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
if you have trouble instaling sdk, go to google and type: wiki cyanogen mod, on bottom of that page in information section is : howto: install the android sdk
Should I install the downgrade zip in section 3?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
yes, find [GUIDE] How to downgrade 1.7x/1.8x/2.x to 1.32.405.6
If your still having issues, I can try to do it remotely from your system.
You could? Ok, the Sdk is instaliing but I selected all the packages to install so its taking some time, don't suppose u can root it remotely ?

shall we have a go at doing it remotely then?
If you install TeamViewer on your PC I can do it from my end. I just need you there to plug/unplug the phone.
If you can cancel the install and reinstall with just these packages,
Code:
Android SDK Tools, revision 11
Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 5
SDK Platform Android 2.2, API 8,revision 2
SDK Platform Android 2.3.3 API 10, revision 1
Google USB Driver package, revision 4
Android Compatibility package, revision 2
If they have already installed then don't worry about it.
Andy
Do u mind if we do this tomorrow actually, I realised I have to be in work early.. do need to sleep
Really appreciate your help and look forward to sorting it

[Q] Root on Mac?

I have a new droid Incredible 2 on 2.3.4 and with S-on. I also have a mac. Is there any way to root my phone?
I'm not sure if there is a mac specific option, but you could probably boot your mac using an Ubuntu live cd, and root from there.
There IS a viable 2.3.4 root now?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Just downgrade the bootloader to .97 then use the revolutionary tools. Either use a live cd linux or install virtualbox and install linux in there.
can you give step by step instructions on how to do that? i am pretty technical but i am new to android or can put a link that shows my how to do this?
