I have not recieved the OTA update yet but I want my phone perm root I need help bad!!!!! Someone please help me what do I do.......
Let me explain what your post looks like:
"Hi, I read the instructions and don't follow them correctly, please help me to understand what I'm not doing right, but I won't give you any information whatsoever about what I'm trying to do and what response I receive, I'll let you guess that or count on your telepathic abilities and just wait for the answer".
Here's the thread:

Follow the instructions carefully and post the exact step which fails for you. That includes posting the exact command that you attempt and the response that you receive.

Yeah in all fairness to the first reply, there really isnt much info to go on to help ya troubleshoot. Tell us which step you are on first. The things that come to mind when you are saying the file is not found is that the root file is not on the root of your sd card or that you didnt punch in the commands correctly in terminal emulator.

Just a shot in the dark but are you putting the space in after cd when entering the commands?
su
cd /sdcard/root

Guys,
Would you mind to write up a tutorial how you root your DHD ?
I'm a newbie for android and i have no idea.. been trying to read articles and i still cant understand.
I have downloaded the file called dhd_root.zip and now what ?
some people are mentioning about the gscript and blar blar blar.. what is all that about??
i have no idea what to do now... please help..
*please do not flame me for not using the search function as i read few of them and i do not understand at all*
Thanks
I personally used Evostance's guide, it was very simple and easy to follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834427
That's the link. I do believe there are simpler methods now using Visionary. Just check the Development sub-forum and they have more tutorials there

Hey Sylpher,
I did tried to read Evostance's guide but where is the guide?
Step By Step Guide - Download link below
11/11/10 V2
http://www.multiupload.com/KK66WUNUWS
See the main thread for details on the root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805327 ----> i do not understand at all... all those code like listed below
Go to adb shell, switch to root (su) and do the following:
insmod /sdcard/wp-(version).ko
for example: insmod /sdcard/wp_g5ed1769.ko
This will disable wp (will be enabled on reboot though...)
dd if=/sdcard/hboot_eng.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
This will install engineering hboot
totally confused.
The link that he provides includes all the files + the tutorial (in a PDF file). So yeah just download that first and it should be quite straightforward from there on.

Thanks again.
No problems
You can try this too, a member here compile it. http://hemorrdroids.net/overclock-undervolt-your-desire-hd/
if you dont already have a file explorer then download astro from market place
download visonary r12 from here and copy apk file to sd card on the phone and install from there
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...722/10-nov-r12-test-visionary-one-click-root/
download superuser from market place and install on the phone
make sure usb debuggging is enabled on the, also unkown sources is allowed phone(settings/applications/development)
run visionary and don not check any of the 3 box on the screen
run temp root and let it finish
then attempt perm root it will ask for super user permission, allow this and the phone should root and reboot
to test it has work down load adfree from market place and see if it runs, if it does you have full root
simples

Although I wouldn't recommend anyone to rush into the act of rooting their device, do bare in mind, that the exploit we are using to obtain root will be patched sooner or later, so whilst thinking about it I would be very wary of applying any future OTA upgrades as so you may find you once more have an unrootable device
Has anyone gotten their fascinate rooted after the OTA Update? I uses to use z4Root but.this is no longer working. It goes rhough the steps but none of the root apps can get super uswr access. I prefer one touch as I dont feel comfotable typing in all the commads for it to be hooked up to the pc
Dirrk's EZ Root v0.2
I was able to edit the START_ROOT.bat file in Dirrk's EZ Root v0.2 so the it would pause for 120 seconds instead of 60 seconds after the first phone reboot. Then, after the reboot, unplug the USB from the phone and reconnect it. I'm not sure if this will work for everyone, but it worked for me.

there is a 1 click guide on i believe android central that is very easy. all you do is plug in your phone to a cpu download the .zip and open a file, then leave your phone alone for about 5 minutes and its done. it worked for me when z4 failed.. that was the first time i used anything other than z4 and was a little concerned but it was as easy as z4.. if not easier seeing as that z4 caused my phone to lock up a few times while it was in the process
EDIT: Here is the link.. you will need to register at android central to get the file but its very easy.

This worked! I did do two things as it would error in the beginning. I changed the pause time in the file on the reboot to 120 seconds instead of the 60 as suggested in one post and I had to unplug my usb cable and plug it back in after the first reboot. Easy none the less, thank you!
Okay...it wont let me edit cause im a newb. The root worked or so I thought but now when I run Titanium backup it says it cant acquire root access. Any Ideas on this anyone?

Check and see if you have the Superuser app in your apps list. If not, download it from the Market, and then see if your apps that require root access work or not.
Yes I have the super user APP. The apps are just saying they aren't getting root access. They are in the list as well.

this worked for me, i used it last night
I was working on this last night. Z4root installs su to system/bin, while the 2nd root method installs to system/xbin. The ota changed the file permissions for su, but left the file in tact. That's why the one click mod will say your rooted (it sees the su file), but apps won't have root access.
I had to go old school and chmod the su file in system/bin rebooted and got root access again.
For anyone that used a one click root method like z4 root, and still hasn't done the ota update un root the phone first!
On the road but I will post instructions on how I re-rooted in a few hours as well as the specific files needed.
*actually from what I recall, any files needed are included in the one click root mentioned above.

**Follow instructions in this post http://forum.androidcentral.com/526222-post739.html
except, when you get to the portion that says
cd /system/xbin , replace that with cd /system/bin
(I believe only z4root users that did not unroot need to change this, or anyone who has su copied to their /bin directory without the root.)
everything is exactly the same... It's much better linking the post than copying the info again.

Hello,
I have been trying to figure this out for over 24 hours. I feel like I am so close yet so far. I have watched video after video, read guide after guide and still no luck.
I have tried the adb method (no luck whatsoever) and the root folder + visionary and cannot get my phone to permanently.
My android version is 2.2.1
I have Root File Manager installed
I have Super User installed
I have Visionary r.14 installed (tried MULTIPLE versions)
TempRoot works fine until my phone reboots (which is supposed to happen) but when I press Attempt PermRoot my phone reboots and it goes back the to the way it was unrooted.
My goal here is to put a new ROM on my phone (i.e. GingerBread) or something like it.
Can someone PLEASE help me?
Thank you in advance
Matt

Use this thread. Follow the instructions to the "T" and you will be fine. It is very simple and pretty much dummy proof. This is the g-free method. I have rooted 3 phones with this method with no issues, and this is my first Android phone. Good luck!
Thank you very much! I did get it rooted and I am working on installing my ROM. That was a very quick response, Thank you
You are very welcome.
i dont mean to sound like a noob, but can you push the gfree files to data local by using the terminal on your phone correct?

I haven't used the gfree method but you need atleast temp root access to make data R/W (read write) so unless you have temp root no. But if you do it'd be easier to just use a root explorer.

i have temp root right now, but whenever i use file manager, it doesnt show data local for some reason. Im just trying to do everything from my phone. I prolly should just learn adb shell and get it over with.

you need
1) root permission
2) root explorer
3) root permission for that root explore.
just astro or file manager will not work, they do not have SU access.
try Super Manager...https://market.android.com/details?id=gpc.myweb.hinet.net.TaskManager&feature=search_result

I can tell you right off the bat this is not going to work:
1. /system is in read-only mode.
2. To mount it in read-write, you need permissions (which means you need to be superuser, which requires root).
If you can get a temporary root, you may be able to do it, but I don't think you can write to the /system directory so long as S-ON is active.
Its not a root for GB, I looked at all the posts and its just a fake.
I'm a total noob to phone development, so when I read guides about installing the wp_mod, I'm confused. It's the last step to rooting this and getting rid of this crapware, so I really want to get it done. I downloaded the file and I copied it to my SD, downloaded terminal emulator to run the su command, but that's where I get lost. Can anyone sort of walk me through it? Thank you.
