there are two tools to s-off once you root, one for radio s-off and one for eng s-off, run the radio one, then the eng one, you will find them in the android development section. you need to s-off before you can flash clockwork mod on the DHD, you can flash that from rom manager
Cool so i need to do that bit more to it on dhd unrevoked rooted and put clockwrk on lol thanks do the roms available make it worth rooting

does ubrevoked work for rooting DHD because the root method is abit complicated I heard unrevoked roots any 2.2 device which run 2.2 out of the box.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Have a look for visionary+
Not sure if Unrevoked is only for the original Desire but the above will do the job nicely.
Is it an easy root? That's all I want a a few clicks and walla a rooted DHD
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Doesn't come much easier, run the app and hit root! If that's all you want then you're done!
If you want to start flashing custom roms though you will need to s-off your phone though. A little more in depth but still not too bad.
That's the what is s off also I might as well root after the official gingerbread release or should I just root now?
Which would be best.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Depends what you want to do with the DHD ... I forgot to mention also that you will need a custom recovery image if you want to start flashing roms. Again, all pretty straight forward if you follow the instrucitons to the letter.

I suspect that afte rooting you'll not be too bothered about ota updates from your carrier as the stock unbranded rom is likely to get updates sooner and the custom roms will always incorporate the latest releases anyway.
In answer to the question though I'm not sure in all honesty.
thanks for all your help.
How would I go about getting gingerbread on my new mt4g?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
download cm7 (cyanogen mod 7) or download nexus s...either one will work from the development section. to use gingerbread, you will need clockwork recovery 3. (2 is flashed from rom manager) directions to flash clockwork recovery can be found through a search.
here are the links

You don't NEED a computer to do this, but it GREATLY helps things along.
and YES you must be perma-rooted with s=off.

Haha! Well, it might help if there was actually a question in your first post
But in presuming you're looking to root it, check the Development topics, lots of ROM's to choose from, guides in there to follow on step by step instructions on how to do it.
I would suggest reading through those first before asking questions though as many people ask the same questions

yep it will, before you flash a custom rom though, you need to check out the 2 s-off tools in the developent section (Radio & ENG) after you root, run both of thoes tools from your pc, you can then use rom manager to install clockworkmod recovery, then your free to install all the custom roms you want
After you install Clockwork, don't forget to take a backup of your T-Mobile ROM just in case anything happens you can flash it back to stock.
Yeah cool guys so
1. Root with visionary.
2.Permroot
3. S.off ENG
4. Install rom manager and install clockwork.
5. Flash rom?

You should get radio s-off as well as eng s-off ng
Sent from my Desire HD pocket rocket.
Then you can go on dev boards and learn about radios and things like that, but that is the stuff that can brick you're phone as my friend recently found out with his desire HD, but if you follow instructions and don't unplug half way through :L you should be fine!
I no about radios and roms im a desire user just needed help sorting my bros dhd for him

is there any way to root mytouch 4g 2.3.4
would i have to downgrade to 2.2.1?
yes, downgrade to 2.2.1, root, flash the rom of your choice
you have to downgrade at the moment.If you to to the development section for our phone, then look for resource Bible. In the guide section, there's 2 threads on how to downgrade your phone to 2.2.1 . Once that is done you can either root with gfree or root.sh.
From my fist to your face, enjoy.
You can do the above mentioned.. or just wait. There are ppl working on a straight method.

If you have s=off already all you need to do is flash a recovery image, then backup/wipe/flash the ROM of your choice.
