[Q] does unrevoked work for rooting DHD?

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.

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

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.

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.

Little help plz

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

Yeah im familiar with roms ect but i just wanted to no if his model was compatible with visionary thanks for help dude also its branded tmobile so would i make a goldcatd before or after rooting to debrand

You can root using visonary with that software version. No need to make a goldcard or downgrade

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

[Q] HTC system update on phone with clockworkmod

Hi there,
I read a bit about jail breaking the HTC Desire HD and I'm quite impressed by the advantages I would get. However, before doing that I was wondering to what extend I can still use the System Updates by HTC. Would I still be able to install them? Or would I need to install a new clockworkmod version which includes the HTC System Updates? I'm a bit lost ...
Thanks,
Rlaf

Answer is if u root u cant get over the air updates anymore but u cood download and install custom roms which are better in my opinion. I rooted using a great tutorial i can try find it if u want
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Sweet. The link would be great. Could you send me links about custom ROMs as well? Thanks!

I'm in the same boat as you, still considering rooting and using a different rom. From what I saw so far cyanogenmod seems the coolest and has a ton of users so community support should be plentiful. Still trying to read up on the custom radios.

unlocked desire z for at&t keeps rebooting

Since I bought my htc desire z unlocked I wanted opinions before I mess ith it since I have no warrenty through my provider. After I updated to 2.3 my htc sense kept restarting. And that was a while ago now my entire phone keeps freezing then reboot along with the sense issue. Htc says I need to factory reset it,but I'm worried that will relock my phone and I can't afford to pay to have it unlocked again. I don't wanna risk flashing a new rom,I have done it before but this desire z is my favorite phone I've ever had. Suggestions plz?

A factory reset should not remove your root and not to mention there are very detailed guides here that will help you root your phone without having to pay for anything. Browse around the forum abit.

"Factory reset" = wipe data and cache..have to do that anytime you change roms so no it doesn't affect root or unlock. How did you install 2.3? When your phone is rooted the ota upgrade doesn't work

Yes Its just simunlocked, So are you sure?

100 % sure doing a factory reset will not relock your phone, it only wipes all personal data,absolutely nothing to worry about mate

Just in case I end up having to send it in for repairs or replacement does anyone know where I can get find the cheapest most reliable place to get the unlock code?

The easiest way to unlock it is to root it using gfree. Besides, once you root, trust me, you will never go back to stock. It really does make the phone much better.

Need help rooting

Hi all
I have a friend who has this phone and it is vodafone branded and would like to make his phone better by rooting and flashing a good rom. Do you have any guides I can follow and suggestions to any good roms? What is the best speed to overclock the processor?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

1st step is rooting what version is he using 2.1 or 1.6? I think z4root should work

"2.1" would I be able to gain root by using visionary since its on 2.1?
