I know HTC have said they will give updates for 2011 models to unlock boot loader but why not the desire HD, also will there be any future ota updates for the desire HD in regards to Android and sence updates?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
They probably will eventually but I don't think it's a priority just like the ota updates. I think there might be one coming soon but it's not confirmed. Guessing sense 3.0,don't expect sense 3.5 pretty sure this would never happen.
You could always root your phone its an easy process.

We already have an engineering hboot. Aka. eng s-off aka. unlocked bootloader.
Sent out of my Free-Candy-Van. Your kids are safe in there. Trust me.
Can we not just flash that to our phones and save all this downgrading stuff? Is it stable and usable?

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.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
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
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
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.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
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.
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.

I just bought a htc hd desire .. wanting to change the rom .. risk of losing the warranty?
Not at all if you do the OTE ginger upgrade.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
If you flash a custom rom warranty is gone, but of course OTA and official roms are fine.

Or just read the first couple of pages on the forum. It has been mentioned already a hundred times, probably.
Not wanting to downgrade
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
To reroot at this point you may have to downgrade then select a gingerbread sense rom from the dev section. Some of them are pretty good. If you still don't want to, you'll probably just have to wait it out.

Does "any HTC device" include the Incredible 4G? We are having a lot of trouble with that one... Could use some help.

As long as the exploit has not been patched by HTC then it will work otherwise you need to dev-unlock and flash insecure boot.img then run HTC Quick Root.

The Incredible 4G is locked up tight. We can't get root via any exploit, and dev unlock was only available for a short time after release, then was removed. Nobody can get s-off, either. I bought mine thinking dev unlock still worked, then found out that it was revoked the very next day. Needless to say we need help rooting.
Thanks for the effort, though. If you have any ideas on the Incredible 4G, please share on the threads over there. We really need help.

I share your pain Captain. Stuck with the Inc4G myself with no s-off. Got it locked down tight, really missing my shift right about now
Doesn't work for the latest OTA of Evo Shift 4G. =/
There is a chance I might have done something wrong, but I have continuously tried different ways so I highly doubt it.
