Has Anyone "ROOTED" the HD2 yet????? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I need to learn how to root my device so that i can use apps like "reset phone" without removing the battery or holding the end key down

quick answer, yes
dan's RC1 and maybe darkstone's froyo are both rooted.
Also, look through the main dev thread probably in the first 4 posts because someones posted patched files for rooting all current versions for HD2

I think there's a link to an RUU file somewhere in this forum. Search around.

I saw the RUU, but I thought that was the RUU for the original 2.2. I didn't think it included the OTA update.

Ah, I don't think it does, but this forum has instructions for manually pushing that update.
I think someone around here also posted a nandroid of oem, so if you root and install clockwork recovery you can nandroid back that way.
I was hoping for a stock rom post OTA just so it would make it easier for me to attempt to customize my own rom. I wanted to make a senseless barebones version of the stock OS for myself. I'm very new to rom building so I figured a post OTA rom was the easiest way to start.

No worries, we just get A LOT of redundant questions on this board so it's a good habit to search first.
Please post questions in Q&A section.
At 25.11.2010 there is no RUU with 2.2.1 (build version more than : 1.14.531.1)
T-Mobile promises it, but not post yet

froyo stock ruu roms.. where are they?

yeah guys i know a lot of you dont like noob questions where they dont put any effort into background research before they ask a question, so heres my question plus stuff ive found
i wanna know where i can find stock froyo ruu roms and ive found this place:
http://filespart.com/f/froyo-ruu-legend.html
and then i found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866867
where BlaY0 explains that "You have previous RUUs and OTAs so you can build the latest release yourself."
so does this mean i cant make my own rom using the ruu and kitchen or does it mean i can (optionally if its easier) build a froyo rom from the older eclair ruu roms.. or something? yeah i just need some explaining thats all
cheers

*sigh* ok well thanks anyway but that's not what I was asking
Anyways I've answered my own question as I just had a look and they've finally added a froyo ruu to shippedroms so thanks anyway.
EDIT: Ok so that froyo ruu on shippedroms is kinda broken lol uhh 4.4mb?? Anyways yeah that was my question if anyone still doesn't understand. I'm looking for the stock stock ruu roms for froyo legend etc etc and yeah. I might try that other site I mentioned earlier unless anyone has anything else to say.
EDIT2: Ok I found what you were talking about in the first place but I swear I couldn't see that before. Thanks anyways, I've noticed theres plenty of sources on the net if you type in the first few parts of the ruu file name.
Have the same problem... 2 weeks trying to find official froyou ROM for indian legend

learn to read and search please. go to the thread called wildpuzzle.
Thank sir, I just gone through those steps and feel complicated for me.
Not so confidence how to do it.
However, thank for quick reply and support since the breakdown question.
Cheers!
If you need a step by step guide as to how to install WildPuzzle (Or any Custom ROM for that matter), you can refer this very detailed guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824396
If, after reading that, you still cant do it, I guess you are better off sticking to the stock ROM and HTC Supplied updates.
Good Luck.

Thanks for the tips, I'll do more googling before I start to do so. Too early to say better off my friend, cos just start up, will learn and will try to do.
Cheers,
I just read your first post, and, if you have updated to official 2.2.1, there's nothing you can do anymore, because, you can't root your phone anymore till Unrevoked is updated.
Hard Luck
Oh...anyways, thanks for your information. I stick around the forum, to see what more can I do.
You all got my respect!
Cheers,

My Nexus One will not update to Ginger bread , Why ?

OK I have stock Nexus one with FRG83D, I downloaded Gingerbread from here at XDA, I tried to install it but it failed, I found a link on how some people were having issues and it took me to a link where I had to back track to FRG33 then FRG83 the to FRG83D where I am at now, did all that everything worked great but now I still get the same error when trying to install Gingerbread, any suggestions ?
thank you
You need to be on FRG83G. Apply this update then try GB again.
That did the trick installing as I type this, thank you very much.
Do you have the last version of HBOOT (hboot-0.35.0017)?
If not, download it from:
http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/passion/d6096cac5e9f.signed-hboot-0.35.0017.zip
install it as a rom (remember to rename it to "update.zip") and then install 2.3.3.
Enjoy!

FYI, this was a question. It should have been posted in the Q & A section. I can't believe how many people don't read rules.

dude, stop spreading wrong info.. we had dream's donut running on leo initially (android 1.6), although good luck digging that thread and finding the downloads since most sites deleted their files after megaupload got busted.
can you post the thread link here? I can't seem to find it after look through the earliest threads. the filename would also be a good reference.
Can you post the link to the theret.

If i had that much time to waste and go through hundreds of pages, i would have posted the link instead of letting you know it exists. infact, there were even ports of sense on android 1.6 from htc tattoo.
However those builds are badly broken and cannot be recommended for usage, besides the fact you have less than 1% chance to find the download link working.

Hello I have a question too ...why on earth you want Android 1.6 Rom ?? when we have ICS with HWA running on HD2 ???
Maybe he wants to learn about the History of Android Development on the HD2
need search through the winmo threads for the sdcard images maybe ask if the op still has them lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578575&page=50 this is where i got to, and i just lost hope, but its fun looking at the history of the HD2, i've just looked at a LOT of threads, funny to see how the HD2 have evolved from a WM device to a super nice multibooting device
