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

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

You have to downgrade first, use the guide in dev subforum sticky thread. Then use methods in same sticky thread to root.

Surprised you haven't been shot down in flames for asking a question like this here....

Hi I really am a novice but I really want to root my desire hd can u tell me what I need to do pls

It would of been quicker for you to a search and find the answers.
1). You need to downgrade.
2). You need apply ENG S-OFF
3). Apply Radio S-OFF while you have the chance.
4). Upgrade to Gingerbread using the OTA.
5). Root using GingerBreak.
The guides were kindly written by jkoljo, and the ENG & Radio S-OFF tools were also made by jkoljo. Be sure to thank him.

hello, is there any way i can do all this from mac (running os x).

Yes, just follow this guide from the cyanogenmod wiki, it's fairly straight forward and should have you rooted in no time

thanks, and btw after downgrading, rooting and other procedures would i be able to flash any rom? or does this procedure only promt me with cyanogenmod?
im pretty new to this, so making sure i do not screw it.

you can flash any rom, it's just a good easy to follow guide.

[Q] is it possible to get rooted and s-off without computer?

Hi everyone,
I got my new desire z two days ago. I am on holiday so i cannot get my device rooted with computer. I have read lots of topics and decided not to use visionary. Now i wonder if it is possible to do it without computer or just with an android based tablet pc.
Thank you for all now...

This is the recommended guide to follow (Gfree, no visionary)

THIS! ADB is not required. I rooted my first G2 using terminal emulator on the phone, no ADB required.

I was fully aware of that thread, but I guess i should have emphasized the word "safely". The guide I posted is the undisputed safest way to do it

If you read down a little bit it says "WARNING: A few Desire Z users have reported being stuck on the HTC logo after following this guide. Without having a Desire Z myself, it is difficult to figure out why (since this simple automates known working methods). For the time being, I recommend Desire Z users obtain permanent root using one of the other guides out there." The op of that thread recommends using a different method. I would wait until you get back from your holiday and get to a computer.

I read all the ways to get rooted but visionary didn't work. I think device must be downgraded before get rooted. So is there a way to downgrade desire z without adb required?

Sorry to say that you need adb and your pc to start the process. I've been rooted only for a week now.

Sure i will add you when i need some help about adb. I am still on holiday so just reading topics about desire z. I think i will turn back home on 16th of July and get my computer again Thank you for helping me...
By the way, why it is so hard to get rooted on desire z. I had a samsung spica and advent vega tegra tablet, i only connected devices to pc and got rooted by one click. Are all desire devices hard (complex) to get rooted?

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?
