I got my Desire HD and can confirm that VISIONary temp root works.
1: get "VISIONary " from the market
2: Run
3: Leve it ~1min
4: You now have root
This will allow :-
--Backup/Restore From Titanium Backup
--Running apps that requier root access
This Will Not Allow :-
--Editing system / recovery / hboot
We are locked down with the same security as the G2
[UPDATE]
Paul has updated the app now it works much better on the Desire HD. Iv had no issues so far with this updated version
Happy Rooting
p.s. ALL credit goes to PaulOBrien for this awsome APP
Tested. It works perfect.

Hey, another noob question i guess, does temp root mean I have to use the app every time I reboot the phone?
Yes, anyway you can set VISIONary to root the phone when is booting...

Once I have installed this, and rooted the phone, I can set it up to start on boot yes?
And then apps that need root will work fine?

Hope so too. I want to/have to edit a couple of files in the system directory..
This temporary root works great (all the root apps will run, expect those that try to modify system files of course and maybe those that also want to run at boot). Everything is installed by this app: su, SuperUser and busybox. Great app!
@mesc4line: do you have it already? If yes, from where you got it? Anywhere in Berlin?

Anyone tried this? Just curious im already rooted just maily would like it to unroot.

It worked great for me, I rooted with it, tried a few root only apps...then I unrooted with it to see if it works, and it worked...then I rooted again so I can use those root only apps.
worked for me. painless, and quick. total time....less than 5 minutes.

And now there's this too.
I cant seem to get this to work. I downloaded the file, went and clicked root me and it just sits there. How long does it normally take
If that's all you did, then you need to reread the instructions. I'm sure it clearly states to toggle Bluetooth or wifi. I don't want to burn anyone but in my opinion, if you can't follow instructions maybe you shouldn't be rooting your phone.

will we still be able to use the one click method to root our phones after we have installed OTA update Froyo 2.2 from verizon in September. I have not rooted my X yet because the only thing i need it for is wifi tether and adblocker, i dont really need the custom ROMs. will i still be able to do this once my phone has received the update, if not will they develop a root for phones that have been updated via OTA

You cannot currently root a 2.2 device (unless you upgraded with that update.zip to 2.2 and moved SU), but I m sure that it will come sooner rather than later

be careful, the new update kills 3rd party keyboards and also disables pattern and no screen lock options in security.

None of what you said is true, nice scaremongering.
I have 2 third party keyboards installed and use pattern unlock on FRG83.
It does however break the one click root, you need to get a pre-rooted update.zip and install that really.
how???
how can I update from FRG33 ?
I'm on CM6S with my Nexus, I'm not sure if this update is even worth it now that I've replaced the stock OS.
If it's true that it kills the 1-click-root app then it's not worth updating at all.

If bootloader unlocked, then easy, grab this and flash via custom recovery.
If not, then you need to look up the rageagainstthecage exploit.

Can't you already do that? I don't really see the need with this phone though, seeing as it has 1GB of internal space.
I use titanium backup with tem root OK. However, I want to do image backups, and need permanent root to be able to restore them.
Alos, currently using a cleaned up base ROM on my Nexus. I would really like to see a TMO cleaned-up-cleaned-out ROM someday - they loaded this up with way too much junk.
Will fiddle with the work-arounds in the meantime, but permanent root and cleaned up ROM is the only way to go.
Guys,
Thanks for the help in fixing my camera issues !!
My next question is, am I still rooted once I updated to 2.2 ?? The Market doesnt seem as extensive as it was when I was rooted on 2.1
I am pretty new at all this stuff, how can you tell if your rooted on 2.2, and if I'm not, how can I properly root it again ??

root and Market are not related. You need to change your phone fingerprint to the Nexus 1 to show all the protected applications again as Google does not recognize the DK28 fingerprint.
However, you need to be rooted to edit the file. See the following thread for the fingerprint. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848778

One way to check is to open up a terminal and type "su"
To get root back, use the one click installer.

Or flash a Tom to get all the apps. If you want to find out if your rooted just download titanium from the market. As soon as you open it it will say asking for root rights.

To tell if you're rooted - install an app like Titanium Backup, which needs root to function properly. If you're not rooted, there won't be access to the market.
For root if you've lost it, your best option may be to install a custom ROM, which are usually pre-rooted. Besides, most custom ROMS are better than what comes stock. Which custom ROM will depend on your needs.

If you're on 2.2/2.3.15 still, you might want to update to 2.2.1/2.3.340 before rooting. Go to settings/about phone and check Android system version and system version.

how to root a droid x 2.2
I have tried many rooting methods and I found Z4root 1.3.apk to be the fastest and easiest way to root. If and when you use this app it starts looping and doesn't finish you simply perform a battery pull and retry the permanent root using z4root 1.3 again and it will work the second time. You may need to try a third time but in rare cases.
sorry for the super late reply. Yeah I mean like a Rom.

Why do people ask that? Once you root, you can have ANY version of stock rom. Or run less stock roms. It's all win.No, you shouldn't recieve OTA updates once you've flashed. But root users will have whatevers pushed OTA long beforehand. Plus you can over/underclock, screen capture, do backups, and run RealHDMI with root.
