Someone rooted for you? :O well makes no diff and if you saying that the person said you used the Visionary meth to obtain PermROOT then what you need to do is download PD15IMG.zip from Dev section and put it in root of your SDCard and go in bootloader as it will scan the file and follow the instruction from there as it will revert back to default stock rom, radio and give you S-ON.
We traded my g2 for the mytouch we gave each other the phones rooted but this one has the bad screen so Im gonna switch and It won't let me download directly on to phone from the phone so o have to do it from a computer?

Well where the file was uploaded to is very bad site as it drops connection and has this annoying verification systems. I would recommend you download it in your PC and then rename it from "PD15IMG_Glacier_TMOUS_1.17.531.2_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155771_signed.zip" to "PD15IMG.zip" (make sure its not PD15IMG.zip.zip) and put it in root of your SDCard.
File: PD15IMG_Glacier_TMOUS_1.17.531.2_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155771_signed.zip
MD5: 49D07F0EE7DE1765A6A84CB12FA53110
Size: 312 MB
Now I provide you with the md5 hash which you can use to verify if the file you downloaded is correct and not corrupted.
I did it thanks it worked unrooted and all finally got stock tho I rerooted 5 mins later but least now I can unroot wot.no prob when I get the phone Lol ty for all your help .

The official update is for the end of this month?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
maybe released tomorrow during their conference
this an amazing update by HTC it really transforms the whole phone, their only one bug I could find which is the badly rendered friends stream widget, and one pixel misalignment in the music sound enhancement, but really amazing work from HTC the new gallery rendering is super clean and smooth, the new lockscreen is really something, i hope they pattened it before Apple steals it
It will remove ENG S-OFF, but it will not touch Radio S-OFF. If somebody wants to try that RUU, it is recommended to have Radio S-OFF because then it is easy to go back to another ROM.

Hello
would you please give me the download link of this rom
you can find it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268384
Just today i had installed the leaked PD98IMG file of the 3.06.405.2 firmware.
Beforehand i had installed the official 2.50.405.1 RUU and then I installed the upgrade by the recovery.
Well, I was very surprised to find out it was rooted and it still had s-off.
Does anybdy know if installing this RUU I would lose root and s-off?
Sense 3.0? HTC are awesome if they're bringing this to the HD officially
So can I flash this on unrooted device
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I suppose so. Let us know of it works. I would gladly do it of not for the fact that I have already installed this ROM by PD98IMG through recovery.
I wonder if there are differences...
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using XDA App
the only issue i have with it is that the picture on the RUU is of a tablet!? dont really fancy bricking my phone
i was more looking if this was easy way to upgrate /downgrade to gain root access. I really was scared to make the gold card etc...
So if some one had flashed the RUU wanted to see if that worked , especially when they were not rooted
I wanted to see if any one got pass the signature check, this failed for with Signature error.

Hello yall im new to the mt4g I came from droid x im pretty good with rooting and flashing that phone but this one wow iv read just about every rooting process available on here even tried some no luck could someone give me step by step instructions and what all I need to root or downgrade plz thanks
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
I just downgraded from 2.3.4 last night and got root back on my phone. It took a while cause I never used adb before, but the instructions are pretty straight forward so its not extremely difficult. I'll post you the link I used, and if you have any other questions or problems I'll do my best to help. Here you go...

If you're not new to rooting, flashing and such, why wouldn't you post what steps exactly did you do and where the process doesn't go as expected? If you're dealing with Android for more than a couple of days, you probably understand that your posts are absolutely useless by now, having no information whatsoever that would allow helping you.
I know its just hard to explain ill try ok I dl the sdk and did all the updates and dl the adb and installed everything to the root of c: did the step by step process and when I try to push anything to downgrade file path not found or something like that
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
When you issue "adb devices" command, do you see your phone?
What is the exact command that fails? Post it here, exactly the way you're writing it.
Yes I see my phone but can't do nothing after that file not found not the right path but I did everything it says too even used adb for dummies lol.... But lets start from the beginning when I DL the sdk file where do I exactly extract it to C: or program I think that's where I maybe messing up at. Root of C drive I click on mycomputer and that where it goes right same thing as adb?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
You need to extract it wherever you want to.
C:\ would be best.
Just open the shell on the right directory when you attempt to use adb commands.
I suggest you to find some video guide on installing ADB and follow it.
And next time, when you're asking for help, please bother to WRITE THE COMMAND YOU'RE RECEIVING THE WRONG REPLY ON, EXACTLY THE WAY YOU'RE TYPING IT. Just as already suggested 2 times above (at least). Thank you.
Heres what I did. Follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912. once you downgrade, follow the guide for downgrading on the CyanogenMod wiki page for the MT4G.

Debrand HTC Wildfire with Vodafone Froyo ROM

Hello,
I'm used to debrand and flash Sony Ericsson devices, but my girlfriend has a HTC wildfire and I'm kind of confused with the debranding...
I found unrevoked3 and wanted to use it, but I don't even get to the part were I should install the android 1.0 drivers, since the pc ıs only asking my for adb-drivers. Does HTC have different then Sony Ericsson? Which one shall I take?
Also I always found manuals about using a goldcard, but these are supposed to be outdated?
Also I'm not able to find an original firmware... I only find RUN exe files. Can someone tell me if it ıs possible to flash original firmware through clockwork mod and maybe give me a link?
I would really appreciate if you guys could help me!
THANK YOU!
Linkin
Look at my guide. It gives you all the files, and is a very simple and easy to use guide.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
Thank you for your answer. I have 2 further questions though:
1) Do I really still need the goldcard (thought this was old school^^)?
2) I still dont know how to flash an original firmware AND WHICH FIRMWARE I SHALL TAKE? Can someone please help me with this?

There is a guide on downgrading the phone to an Unbranded WWE ROM here. This will erase all data(including Recovery, everything), but will downgrade you to a Universal ROM with no network branding, as well as HBOOT 1.00.001.
Goldcard? YES. A guide for the same is in the link, follow it to the letter and there will be no problems.

Thank you very much! I'm going to try it tomorrow ;-)
One more question though: can someone tell me where to get the newest RUU file? Update via htc sync?

The step2.bat in the guide is the rom itself. But if you still need a link, it is here. That is the same RUU used in Step2.
worked like a charm! Thank you again!
Do you see any easy way to root the phone now?
Gingerbreak and Superoneclick didnt work :/

You should be able to use revolutionary but...........
Read the first post, I know its a lot but there's everything you'll need in there.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
thank you, I found that way but since it is not my phone, i dont want to s-off it
Anyway, my girlfriend don't need root that much, so I guess I will just leave it here and reinstall here software manually!
Thank you everyone for your help and support!
*edit:
if someone finds a way to root phone without S-OFF: your idea is welcome
In that case, you will have to go through HTC DEV to unlock the bootloader, which is a FAR more cumbersome process IMO. Anyway, upto you really. Otherwise, rooting without S-OFF is not possible on Froyo.
Thank you for that answer. I will look into it... At the moment my girlfriend is happy with the Rom I gave her... But I think about cyanogenmod might be faster (phonepad input on Frodo is really slow...)? We will see :-/

about AAHK

y can say this: AAHK is working ,if you want to have your phone fully rooted but you need to find the original RUU (PD98IMG) for your phone

I understand that. However, even though to worked for you, it may not for someone else. It may be prudent to mention that, in that case, no support is provided.
I rooted my phone 5 times with AAHK and never had any problem.

Yes, but that's obviously not true of everyone, and now it has been retired and is now unsupported. And AAHK automatically generated a gold card, chose and downloaded a RUU. The server hosting those necessary files is not gone. If someone tried to do that manually now he/she could get stuck with no support.
Forget it. Just know that if someone tries this method and gets stuck, finding help is unlikely.
I have rootet with aahk and i have no problems. Radio & Hboot S-OFF.
It´s importend to read the effen manual.
My DHD came with S-OFF so a simple 1click root with zergrush did a job for me.
Before i found it, i tried with the AAHK but when i saw that not all the files were so easy to find, and that there is no support i found an easier solution..

Since the point of AAHK is to get S-Off, you didn't need to use it anyway. Just flash a recovery from fastboot, then flash a rooted ROM from recovery.
AAHK was a pain in the ass for me... Almost bricked my phone...
I wouldn't recommend this tool, since there are plenty of -more secure- was to get root...

Well, it's retired and unsupported, so I'm not surprised. But when it was around, it worked perfectly for anyone who could read and follow directions.

Lol...Theres a thread somewhere with the files from the server, though those who havent downloaded the aahk before it was discontinued cant use them. I ran the aahk using those files to unlock a friends DHD and it worked flawlessly. You brick it if you dont do it the right way, just like with any tool...
This is for "new people" who want to S-OFF their device safely
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2367322
Actually AAHK worked very well before got retired, people just need to read trough documentation carefully. This is the main problem these days nobody have patience to read more than 6-7 sentences especially if is about technical documentation, it is easy enough to say "meeeh I don't need to read that, how hard can it be..." and that's where 90% of problems started. I rooted my phone with AAHK and it went flawlessly, but spend 3-4 days reading carefully the documentation and xda forums, before that
