[Help needed] DHD Rooting Build 1.72.405.3

Hi all. I'm new to this forum as I recently gotten my HTC Desire HD and I wanted to make it faster. with an custom ROM.
I actually get stuck at the 2nd step of rooting my DHD so I don't got allot info to give.
I recently had an update which was for the camera and the touchscreen itself if I remember right. but I really regret it.
I've got VISIONary+ installed. and when I press "Temp. root" it'll show a yellow triangle and I can see it load. but after a minute or 2 it only shows a black screen. I've had it on for almost 3 hours now. and I can't seem to get past it.
If you need more info, I'll provide it.
I hope somebody can help me with this one. since I really want a custom ROM on my DHD.
Sincerely,
Aliq

Hi
The new updates stops temp root etc etc... So you will need to wait till the devs come up with a new method.
It might take a while as most devs wont unroot and lose s off ....
But you never know, but if post your version of firmware, it be your doing something wrong?
But if you updated you'll need to wait.

Will this get me back to Android 2.2 where I can root it?

Thread number 267 on this topic. No you can't downgrade and toy can't root.

No that will get you back to your original 2.2.1 you are going to loose all data though.
And u know 2.2.1 cant be rooted yet.

Need to root brand new G2 w/o ADB (im on a mac)

So I just got my replacement G2 from T-mo and it's brand new so it's running 2.3.3 and I need to root it. I tried using visionary to temp root so I could run gfree to perm root but the phone freezes every time I try to temproot. Can anyone give me any tips or teach me how to use adb on a mac.

that would be how you use adb on a mac....
but i dont think there is a rooting method for 2.3 yet

crap, I really need to get root back on my phone too. I did a backup using rom manager and i would really like to restore my everything.

Please search before posting new threads. Most questions you have can most likely be answered in one of the stickies.

thanks for the non help. I did search and they isn't anything in the stickies about rooting the g2 with gb on it, but hey thanks for helping your fellow enthusiast

Wait, how is it that you lost root, and yet you were using ROM Manager? Can't you just boot into recovery and flash a rooted ROM?

I didn't lose root, I had another g2 and it crapped out on me but I made a backup of the rom and want to restore it on my new g2 but I'm having trouble figuring out how to root it with 2.3.3. I tried to use adb but every time I try to run the android sdk i get an error

I thought GB wasnt available on the G2 yet??? I got my G2 last week and it's running 2.2...

No need to be a ****... GB isn't even available OTA to users, so theres a very small chance that there's a root method for something that hasn't come out yet...
btw ADB on Mac is pretty easy to set up. but as far as rooting 2.2 goes, you didn't need ADB to do it, which saves you the hassle of setting up the SDK and using Terminal if you're not feeling confident with it. I'm sure once they figure out rooting 2.3, the same will probably be true soon enough.

Some people are getting refurb/repair units back with 2.3, because 2.3 is close to coming in OTA format for the G2 from most reports.

I'm aware that most people don't have gb yet, that's why I figured I would ask for help as opposed to just searching the forums, I had my 2.2 g2 rooted no prob and once i found a decent tutorial then yeah I did realize that adb is supposed to be easy on mac. I'm having an issue with getting the sdk running, I can navigate to the folder in Terminal but when I try to run "android" i get a ton of errors

Hi !
The new T-Mobile 2.3.3 stock gingerbread rom is not rootable at the moment.
We currently do not have a temp-root method for it. The old methods (rage, psneuter and also gingerbreak) do not work as the exploits they where using have been patched.
At the moment you have to wait for someone to disclose a new gingerbread exploit.
Have fun - Guhl

thanks, hopefully something will come along soon because being on a stock rom is killing me

If you expect to get any respect or help through these forums you would be wise to hold your tongue and not dismiss the help you do receive.

I don't think 2.2.1 was even rooted so I doubt 2.3.3 would be. Cant you downgrade?

why dont you sell your phone on ebay.. and buy a g2 or desire z with 2.2 or thats already rooted?? you wont have to wait then

This guide was the best thing that ever happened to me when I was setting up ADB on my Mac.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865685
Now all I have to do is plug my phone in and enter whatever adb commands I want. No changing directories and all that. It was very helpful.

Your first step should be to buy a PC.

What version of the xplay do you have? if you have a SIM free play, you can just unlock the bootloader, and flash a rooted image or flash a rooted update.zip from recovery..... anyway read the stickies in the android development section, all the answers you seek are there

im on o2 ,
ive been reading quite a bit , just want to be sure of what im doing
i dont understand about unlocking the bootloader , so would just like to root is that possible with the way im thinking of doing
thankyou for your time

Follow the guide here if you want root with a locked bootloader.

thank you
for replys
hopefully all will go well
once again thanks

sorry guys just a quick one
not rooted yet been busy
after root and ota update
if i wanted could i still use sues to restore phone if needed to put it back how it was
thanks

Yes as long as your bootloader is still locked you can use SEUS to take to you back to stock.

[Q] Stock G2 2.3.4, want to Root, what is the best way??

Title says it all...Finally thinking about rooting, but I dont know it its possible yet since I got the 2.3.4 update. Can someone point me in the right direction please? All the posts I found are kind of old.

Root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206930 must have S-OFF before you update to 2.3.4 or you will have to downgrade to 2.2 turn S-OFF then patch again to 2.3.4 then root...

Damn, no other way huh? I don't feel like downgrading, guess I'll wait till there is another way...lol. Thanks for the response!

Desire Z 2.3.3 ROOT
Hi,
I am using EU version of G2 (desire Z) with htc official gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM. I am also new in this so downgrading to 2.2 isn't option for me. Does anybody knows if there will be some simplyfied way to root desire z 2.3.3 (one click root or something like that) somwhere in near future.
Thanks for reply!

Well considering that there isn't even a reliable one-click root for the 2.2 release (and even farther from one-click for the European version) I'd highly doubt that you're going to see a one-click for the 2.3 release any time soon, if at all.
Just because you're new doesn't mean that downgrading isn't an option for you! Just do your research and follow the detailed guides and you'll be fine. It may take some time for you to build up some confidence to do it, but when its done you'll be glad you took the time to learn a lot about the device as you learned to root it the hard way.

i'm afraid there's no other way for now, you have to downgrade to older version which had root method already.

Not a temproot? I think I have seen a topic for temproot of G2, but no responses from anybody who has tried, so I don't want to be first to try.
I wish only to remove annoying ADS, all the rest is fine with 2.3.4.

Because you said that I might have to wait a long time to get one click solution I have decided to give it a try and root my phone:
firstly I have downgraded my software with this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
and than root it with this:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Vision
and than install Virtuous 2.0 ROM with Rom Manager
I had no problems and everything works nice now.
But still I would like to change some things on my phone and I hope someone could give me some directions how to do it.
1) firstly I would like to delete/hide stock battery icon from notification bar becazse I use ZDBox to monitor battery. I have found this tread on this forum but I am not shure if this method works for Desire Z with this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740502
Does prhaps anyone knows how to do that with Virtuous 2.0 ROM on Desire Z
2)secondly I would like to ask you which ROM do you suggest to try out.
I really like how MIUI ROM looks like and how much free RAM you get with this rom but as I was reading comments about it it seem that there is no landscape orientation in this ROM. Does this issue apply only for launcher or are systam apps like sms app or email app also only in portrait mode.
thanks for answers and ideas

1) you can use the uot kitchen to create a theme with whatever battery icon you like.
2) i would suggest cm7, by far the best rom in my opinion, fast and stable and always have the theme chooser to change it up. if your looking for a sense rom though i would go with the synergy port.

this is the guide I used , downgrade then root with visionary and go from there ! I was a total noob when I used this, so you should be fine mate !

Just use the Ace Hack Kit http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1259821 . It downgraded me, then rooted me, all automatically. Fantastic!
But remember to properly read the "effen manual" there is a password that you have to enter which makes sure that you read the full manual (its only a couple of pages). After running this a couple of times (once to downgrade then again to root), just install your preferred ROM. I just rooted for the first time myself yesterday. Easy as pie with this method.

Cannot recommend this enough! I did it with my Ubuntu laptop and there were no driver installations necessary. It was literally a couple clicks.

about goldcard... my phone is carrier unlocked but i think the rom it's branded for Orange... i still need to make myself a goldcard ?
and when entering the menu with vol down + power.. i see up there a S-OFF... and i think the ace kit was already used...it's safe to use the ace kit.. no ?
i forgot the say that it's sim unlock and running a 2.3.3 gingerbread with 2.1 sense.
I think it's already S-OFF and super CID made... i just need to root it and get to a good stock or a very good moded version of rom

Updated and installed a new Rom
U guys r great !

Enjoy it! Now that you are rooted:
- You can uninstall (freeze) system applications you never use.
- You are now able to use MyBackPro or Titanium Pro to back your applications and settings. (This makes changing roms painless)
- You can now also use Market Enabler and use the US, UK, or any other market.
- Depending on your rom you can also start enjoying two way call recording.

Thanks man
