For those who are on versions 2.37+ - I've managed to be able to root my 2.43.661.1 and know someone else who rooted a 2.50 DHD.
Of course, this may not work on all but it is definitely worth a shot.
1. Download a 1.32 Stock RUU
2. Create a Goldcard (any guide will tell you how)
3. Install HTC Sync and run the RUU so it flashes the phone.
4. Follow a normal DHD rooting guide.
I don't know if would work on all DHD's above 2.37 but can't see why not. I just rooted two phones with a friend and all seems to run fine.
So if you've been waiting, give it a try. It won't hurt if it fails, but I can tell you it has had success.
(Phone was a branded TELUS - 2.43.661.1)
which rooting guide did you follow.... ??????
is it downgrading 2.37 ???????
gimme the link .....................
This won't work (atleast without s-off), you'll get an error when trying to run the RUU with a lower version number than the one currently on your phone...

Thats what I thought - alas, achieved root around lunchtime today. No error, worked, and currently rooted.
Currently running Telus 2.43.661.1
No root, no s-off

I have a goldcard, so I'll see if that lets me downgrade. I'll post back in an hour or two and let you know how it goes.
EDIT: As posted below, Bootloader error "Error 140 Bootloader Version error"
My understanding is to downgrade 2.4*.***.* roms you NEED to be s-offed before applying the 2.4*.***.* update.

Same Bootloader version error as bolded. Phone reboots and everything is fine, so no damage done by trying. I'm not sure if its a goldcard issue as I don't have another SD card to try at the moment.
madmaxx, what version were you running before using that method. My understanding is this wont work with 2.4+ versions.

This is understandable, you don't have S-OFF.
Please stop posting "guides" like this, unless you've actually CONFIRMED it works with screenshots and everything. Flashing unknown stuff BRICKS DEVICES! I can't stress that enough.
I also get the 140 bootloader error. We can't root 2.42 or higher without s-off.
I had read a little about rooting, but the downgrade part always sort of put me off to the whole thing as it seemed very hard. I did have the latest upgrade, so it seemed it wasn't possible. I stumbled on to a guide here pretty much like this and I finally managed to downgrade, root and install MIUI, then I went a step further and installed the latest LeeDrOID kernel.
I can say that it has pretty much effectively doubled my battery life. It's amazing, and I now have complete control over my phone. I love this place! =P
fuzzbeans: You're lucky you were on a 2.37 or lower version. Anyone running 2.4* versions cannot root/downgrade unless they were already s-offed before hand.
Anyone on the east coast of Canada with a XTC clip?
The first post should be edited to say any 2.4+ version needs s-off for this to work. If not, you're out of luck.
Any word if 2.46 will ever be rootable? i would love to root my device !!

From my (basic) understanding, they need to find a new way to s-off the device so you can flash custom roms and perm-root the device.

Well I'm planning to buy the HTC Desire Z and would like to be able to root and flash roms. I've read up on some stuff here and other places and know about CID lock, S-OFF and stuff. And as i understand you use Visionary to temp root then use gFree or something.
But what i'm more concerned about is the HTC rom 1.72. They say the methods dont work and you have to downgrade. So that 1.72 was released december 23rd, is there any newer roms since then that also could be on the phone when i get it? And if so, can i still downgrade?
Thanks in advance,
Kris
check around. essentially you can downgrade to 1.34 then get a custom ROM like Virtuous or CM7
I've just buy mine last week in France and it comes with 1.34.
Yeah I got mine 3 weeks ago in Ireland and it came with 1.34 too. Still haven't got down to rooting it though.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Got mine today, came with 1.72 -_-
But all is good as i've downgraded and rooted, s-off etc.
Still have to flash a rom of my choice.
if you like Sense, they go Virtuous ROM. I'm using it right now and I love it.
Well Sense is ok but i'm not a true fan of it... I'm more into super fast froyo roms like theFroyoMod for Motorola Milestone. Is there anything like that? Or do you recommend a Gingerbread rom over Froyo. I've always found 2.3 to be bogged down and much less snappy than 2.2.
I'll give virtuous a try though as i still haven't found a rom i'll stick with
I have an HTC Desire Z branded with vodafone australia the build number is 1.85.861.3 also running HTC Sence v3 i think. i think its very similar to yours and i wanted to find out what method you used to root yours coz all the methods on this forum dnt seem to work with this version. What method did you use, did you downgarde yours first and have to create a goldcard to install the older firmware? thanx
Just to let you know I had mine on vodafone, 1.72 and S-on, just rooted it yesterday, all good. using temp root to downgrade and then perm root. hope this helps

Helllo,
I have a desire hd on software version 1.84.110.3 on 2.2.1 branded on t-mobile. I basically want to debrand the phone and install the stock unbranded software to get rid of the t-mobile apps and flash screen, and get software updates quicker. If possible I would like to keep my phone in a stable state so if anything did happen to the phone in the future I can send it back for repair. Is this possible if so how would i go about it? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick reply, i have had a look at the guide but i dont see anything about a goldcard. I was understood it as if you have a branded phone you need to create a goldcard???? Please correct me if i am wrong
I think once you've SuperCID'd your phone you don't need a goldcard, as that just messed about with something to do with CIDs.
The T-Mobile RUU is on my site you can find it HERE
It's easy

I got my T-Mobile HD Desire yesterday...and today I have LeeDroid Gingerbread running on it. I used the gold card method found here: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
It was simple. Just follow the steps exactly and you'll have no problems. I followed the links in that website to complete the process. My phone is rooted, radio s-off and eng s-off. There seemed to be so many different ways of doing it on this forum that I eventually gave up. That link, above, is on one of the "how to's" in here and references this site - I just found it clear, concise and easy to follow because it's aimed at noobs rather than tech-wizards. Good luck!
So i need to create a gold card and then perm root it with s-off? And i am fine doing all this with my software version?

You have no option but to downgrade. You can't root the phone until you've done that, and you can't stick a custom ROM on unless the phone is rooted.
Like I said, there seemed to be so much conflicting information on here that I went elsewhere. That link, and the ones that follow, are well written in plain English.
These are the steps I followed:
1 - Make goldcard: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
2 - Permroot the phone: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-permanently-root-htc-desire-hd-complete-guide/
3 - Radio S-Off and Eng S-Off: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-gain-s-off-radio-and-engineering-on-htc-desire-hd/
4 - Flashed Optional FULL WIPE to EXT4 patch, then flashed radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2[/U], and then flashed the ROM all from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056727
I followed Lee's instructions to the letter and had no problems.
Dips44,
I am thinking of doing the same. I'd be interested to hear about your experience and any recommendations.

I dont think i will be doing it just yet as there is just to many guides out there and confusion. I mean just on this thread somesay go for it others say downgrade, need a goldcard, goldcard not needed. Let me know if you do try
Just to clarify,
If your T-Mobile branded you WILL need a goldcard. If your software version is greater than 1.3x.xxx.x you WILL need to downgrade to root. The goldcard is needed to downgrade.
Where else are you confused? I am more than happy to help.
Ok so let me get this straight I will need to follow the follow steps
I will need to create a goldcard following this guide
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/...htc-desire-hd/
I then need to downgrade...
How do I do that?
Once I have downgraded I need to perm root following this guide
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/...omplete-guide/
I then need to s-off using this guide
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/...htc-desire-hd/
Do I need e-off? What is this? Also how do I then install an official unbranded gingerbread rom?
Thanks
Where to start. Follow this guide.
How to downgrade to 1.32.405.6 WWE
You want to follow Section's 1 & 2a
Also i have read about ruu...can i just flash my phone with a ruu?
Once you have followed that guide, simply follow this one.
One click ENG S-OFF
Then this one,
One click Radio S-OFF tool
Simply put this is the process you need to follow.
1). Create Goldcard
2). Downgrade to 1.32
3). Root using Visionary+
4). Remove device security & SIM unlock
5). Enjoy
Great thanks for that just one more question once i have done all that how can i flash an offical gingerbread rom?

Once you have followed all the above guides, your handset will be ready to flash anything.
Download ROM Manager from the Market, and flash ClockworkMod Recovery from there. Any 3.x.x.x recovery is sufficient.
Now donwload this ROM - seraphic_gb_rooted_0-1.zip
From this thread - HERE - 1st Post
This ROM is the exact HTC Gingerbread update but with root access added. Nothing else and nothing taken away.

You can only downgrade to 2.2 if you have s-off. The new 2.16 bootloader will not accept any known RUU, downgrade, or any other root method currently. I even tried to do the "old" GoldCard method, and of course, that didn't work either.
Here is the write up if interested on how to downgrade with s-off.........
http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-gingerbread-2-3/
Check out the 4th comment, by Julian. Pretty much sums it up.........
"This procedure WILL NOT work if you have unrooted your Evo and updated via OTA from sprint!! New bootloader interface is included with the new RUU (2.3.3) which prevents recovery mode launch, reverting back to a prior ROM, or rooting"
you can root it if your bootloader says s-off, just flash recovery in a pc36img file and flash superuser for 2.3

If the phone has never been rooted before, then you are going to be S-on. Since you have the new bootloader, AND you have S-on, there is nothing you can do to root the phone at this time. You cannot downgrade to 2.2, you cannot downgrade the bootloader. The only thing you'll be able to do is wait until someone figures out how to get S off on the new bootloader, or if someone figures out a way to downgrade the bootloader. The only way you can downgrade back to 2.2, is if the bootloader is S off. Also, if the bootloader was S off, downgrading to froyo to 'reroot' is a complete waste of time. All you need to do is flash a PC36IMG of a recovery image, and then use that recovery to flash a new rom. That's it. Anything more than that is a total waste of time, and a bunch of steps that don't need to be taken.
So, unfortunately, all you can do is wait until someone figures out a way around the new bootloader.

Also, sorry to burst your bubble, but there is NO way to root if you have 2.3 AND the new 2.16 bootloader. Either you have S=off and run an RUU to get back to Froyo, or you do not have the new 2.16 bootloader.

What do you mean newer version? Are you following the downgrade guide that requires adb to push, execute some files, and flash all by adb. When you downgrade, you don't simply flash the pd15img.zip you should follow the guide.

Look in my signature, see a link to Wiki. Open it, go to section "Root", subsection "Gingerbread 2.3.4". There will be a guide which needs to be executed IN FULL.
Try and read this with caution NOT ME OR THE PERSON WHO MADE THIS IS REPONSIBLE... it has a one click downgrade and a one click root.. after all that is down, there's a root version of gingerbread available... one step at a time...

I'm trying to update my ROM before I run the HTC unlocking steps on the bootloader section. For the MyTouch 4G, it says I need to do it and my carrier is listed in the list (DAVE CA). It starts fine and then pops up with error 131 CID Error. The phone is stock and I haven't done anything to it yet.
Current version 2.09.1800.1
To: 2.32.531.1
Anyone know what is causing this CID error and how I can fix it?
Thx.

STOP!
Don't use HTC Dev. Are you on Froyo? If so, go to the development section of this forum and use the gfree thread (ultimate s-off) stickied there.
Everyone who goes through the htc-dev process comes back in here regretting it and goes ahead and roots the XDA way. Save yourself the trouble.
I assume you want to root your phone. Look up the "Mobilicity/Videotron Panache" thread.
If you don't want extra pain - don't use HTCDev unlock.

I'm still trying to figure out which one he has. He has using an RUU, so I can see now why you said that. Thanks Jack!
OP, clarify whether you have a myTouch 4g or Panache, please.

Panache. DAVE CA/Mobilicity version running stock Gingerbread. Was hoping that I wouldn't have to downgrade OSes but I guess I'll have to do that.
Thanks all.
You can avoid downgrading, but I strongly suggest you go that way instead of HTCDev-unlocking. It'll take very few ROM changes to get really annoyed by flashing boot.img manually.
Got it done following the dev guide.
