Did you try reflashing cm6? Idk if it will work, but worth a try.

That seems like the only thing I can think of too. I'm having a similar problem where I tried to flash Swype, but it just keeps force closing, and now I actually HAVE the beta but I can't uninstall my old swype D: . I tried going thru with ADB and Root Explorer... It seems I deleted anything involved with Swype, BUT it's still in there somehow.

You have to do it via adb in while your phone is in recovery because our phones are s-on.
reboot into clockwork recovery, go into the partitions menu, mount /system, then in command prompt type
Code:
adb shell
rm /system/app/apkname.apk
If you're not sure what the exact name is do this:
Code:
adb shell
cd /system/app
ls
then it'll give you a list of all files in /system/app, type rm apkname.apk to remove it. Then reboot

Ive tried that before (suggested by others) wouldnt work for me. I would always get a read only error. The cd /system/app ls command would run fine though :/

Were you in recovery? Another thing to try while in recovery and in adb shell, type this:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
You might also try adb remount, not in shell, then go back into shell.

I'd stay away from visionary if I were you! Its messing up just as many phones as it is rooting them!
part of the problem is that a visionary method is stickied in one of these subforums... that needs to be taken down desperately and replaced with gfree/rage.

TEMP ROOT
ON YOUR PC: Unzip the gfree_temp-root.zip files to a folder. From a cmd window or terminal, navigate to that folder and execute these commands:
$ adb push su /sdcard/su
$ adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
$ adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
$ adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
$ adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
$ adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*
===========
All the commands are working except
$ adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
the reply I get after input the command is
Cannot open 'rage': No such file or directory
I have search the web for help...but I could find help on that issue
SO please if anyone knows what I am doing wrong could you please help....
thanks
unzip the gfree_temp-root.zip again and make sure it extracted rage.
rage IS in there, I just downloaded the zip and opened it and looked.
yeah, look for a file called "rage". if it's there, you didn't get the proper directory. you have to get to the "gfree_temp-root" directory on your computer, and THEN adb push it

Well, start all over but once you get a root (a #) for the first time, rm -rf /system/xbin then reboot the phone, then start all over again and see if that works. for some reason you have a /system/xbin FILE, not a directory.

well that's a problem, if /system is read only you can't lock in root
do this before you rm that stuff (remember to be at a root # prompt)
mount -o remount,rw /system
then rm the stuff, then start the root process over.

The best place to start:- [GUIDE] How to downgrade 1.7x/1.8x/2.x to 1.32.405.6
Take Care
TheQuest
Tried that yesterday. Didn't work for me. Something about inappropriate ioctl for device. Will try again after work.
thank for the help but i have tried all that the problem is it does not allow acces it keep saying acces is denied and you dont get The # after adb shell, i used gingerbreaker 1.2 it installes superuser but you cant connect via easy s-off it keep saying connection error, tried to install rom manager but once you run gingerbreaker it disables the cd card, which you need to restart once you restart super user is no longer there so its a loop i have been going around for 8 hours last night i guess you cant root new 2.34.405.8 unless they bring new rooting alternatif to downgrade or visionary which at the mo version 1.4 dont work ether
Better of using the link provided before.
2 mistakes when making a goldcard are:
1. You should use mmc2 instead
2. When they say "reverse CID" they actually mean reverse the order after splitting them in sets of twos.
i.e. 12345678 hex reversed is NOT 87654321
Its 12 34 56 78 reversed into 78 56 34 12
This webpage mentions use of gingerbreak
http://driphter.com/index.php?topic=3867.0
many thanks but i have tried all above still not working, my phone is not locked so i guess i dont need a gold card even thou i have done that i guess i have to wait till there is some other ways gingerbreaker as i my post above not working i think we need to wait for a new version or somthing well many thanks guys i keep using this rom for now well i dont have any other options lol

Do you get $ after the adb shell?
If you do then you need to type su after the $ and hit enter. then watch your phone, it should ask to allow superuser access. Click allow and the cmd will change to #

this is what i am getting
between you typing su and the reply of su denied your phone will be asking for you to allow superuser access. You need to allow it. Make sure your screen isnt going off during the cmd process , eitherset it to not go off or keep touching the screen.
also if you have superuser on your phone after doing gingerbreak then you dont need to do any of the adb commends with psneuter in them.

Thats all you need to see^
no i dont get nothing on the phone ??? i have installed super user app but that didnt make any different i have no root or s-off it keep coming up with access denied.
oh and gingerbreak not working too it runs restarts the phone but i dont get no super user , the super user i had it was the one i downloaded from app market yeah i know it dont work that way which i found out about it lol, put it this way i have tried everything and anything i could find so far i have spent over 10 hours on this so far and none of the recomendations have worked i think the old way of rooting no longer works with new update
After doing it myself, I would recommend trying gingerbreak again and again and again. It took me and another guy almost 4 hours running it and restarting our phones until it finally worked. Then when you type Su it will change to #.
At least, we were somewhat lucky and it worked even after many hours.

Hi arkanovios thanks for your reply i have tried it for last 2 days and its not working well i guess i just have to give up now many thanks
anyway
The trick is to accept all force closes when gingerbreak is running, and then leave it open when it finishes, even if it says failed. Then run command su, and accept superuser request in your phone.

I wait for thanks
I'm in the same case (on a branded HTc desire HD from sfr, france), and the RUU above refuses to install as well.
I have a Desire HD with Gingerbread running. I wanted to root my phone, but it seems it is impossible without downgrading.
I have read the tutorials on this site, but every time I type a ''push'' command, I get a very big list of words, like ''Android Debug'' etc. When I have completed all the steps the resul is a $...
I have also tried the GingerBreak method, but when I do so my phone acts very strange, it won't read my SD card until I reboot and when I start Superuser it says that Superuser has to be closed.
Also I have the downgrade folder, but I think the one I have is for Froyo devices, because the Psneuter file is in there, and no GingerBreak.
So, does anyone have a clear tutorial woth download links for the files I need???
I have searched Google, xda, and lots of more sites, but I really can't find any help.....
Thanks for reading,
Desley
Ok,
Firstly you will need to downgrade following this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
If you are running a branded phone then you need a Goldcard
Found here

Then follow this guide to get root and Radio s-off

I have this problem to but i have the right downgrade map with gingerbreak in it. Yesterday i tried 100 of times and at last i got # but i coulden't write anything more in cmd but the # there. NOw today i tried agian with theese steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13367691&postcount=1134
But now i get the Su: Permission denied and nothing pops up in my phone saying do you allow this. What should i do i'm running 2.26.405.8
I have tried the Gingerbreak app to with all the steps but the circel that's spinning keps doing that for like 15min and nothing happens. And yes i have done the factory reset many times and tried agian. Please somebody help
Ok , have you followed all steps I provided above?..
Some things to note are that between each step reboot , it helped me to wipe my sd card.
Have you got the htc sync drivers installed? (make sure htc sync is closed!)
Are you provider locked/is there network bloatware on the phone in which case you would need a goldcard?
If poss can you provide a screenshot of what you have for me and I can help you more

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version

And then write adb shell i get a $ then i write su and i get permission denied

Hi, I'm Maaria, and very very new to all of this!
So I have a desire HD which is locked to all networks except orange. I really want to root my phone so I can customise it and such, and I want to unlock it. I know I need to downgrade and stuff but I don't know how to do this. I mean do I have to get a gold card because it's locked to orange or do I just do it? And I don't even know how to get to the cmd folders or anything :/ I have no idea what to do, I've been looking all over the forum, and internet, this was the best thread I found but its still a bit confusing, for me. :/ I'm really sorry for being a complete idiot when it comes to this stuff but can anyone please help me? I really want to learn how to do it, I'm just totally confused with what to do

Ok ,
Firstly everyones new to this at some point , gotta start somewhere.
You are correct you will need a goldcard to downgrade which is in one of my links above
Cmd= command prompt , you can type cmd in your search bar in windows and it will bring it up for you , our find it in your accessories.
Something important to note, if you've upgraded to 2.3.7 downgrade is not possible at the moment , but keep an eye out as I'm sure it'll happen.
Any questions can pm me and I will help as I struggled for some time and picked up a lot of info from the site .
Good luck

I tried all the other methods and suggestions. Finally I tried this one and it worked. The post is in another language, but the code works. Don't worry if terminal tells you bla bla bla not found, just keep typing in the next code. When you reboot, factory mode will be a thing of the past.
how this gonna work ? mind helping me out ?
Did you try pulling the battery? How do you know if you're stuck in factory mode?
You want have lock screen and a small box with system info will be on display

Holy crap finally I'm out of this DAMN factory mode.. Nothing else worked!
I got in there initially by trying to repair my EFS partition.
Thank you thank you thank you.
I really appreciate the help here. I had a i605 that had that annoying Factory Mode box because I messed up my EFS folder with Root Explorer. Now at least I have a baseband and 000000000's for my ESN. Much appreciative to the developers who share their knowledge with us.
FIX for getting out out of Factory Mode-Must be rooted
Might as well post the fix since it does work.
From terminal emulator or adb shell
su
rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
reboot
Also located here, on XDA. What a coincidence

To cut down on errors you can copy-paste these commands into the terminal emulator.

Excellent suggestion. Factory mode is an inconvenience, but repairable. Hosing up your /efs,4 and without a backup. Painful.

But how can i change permissions in the terminal. On every command is answering with "Permission denied"?
Tnx in advance for your answer.

You need to be root. Type su, approve the root request when the message pops up.
If you phone is not rooted, then you need to root it.
