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

OTA Update

Does anyone know for sure if I can flash the gingerbread update pd15img.zip even though I'm rooted by gfree with the eng hboot?
I can't get the unroot method to work, that's why i'm asking.

You can't flash a PD15IMG.zip RUU in recovery. It's only flashable in the bootloader.

Please don't post advice if you don't know what you're talking about.

bmakk2055 posted incorrect information, so I posted the correct info for the benefit of you or anyone else who might come across this thread. Take a chill pill, bud.

Either way, neither of you have answered the question, so I don't care. You could've kept that comment to yourself and so could he cause he obviously doesn't know a thing about what I'm talking about.
To others who view this, please don't post unless you know the answer. Thanks.

It wasn't a random "comment". XDA is a database like all forums, so even if you already knew the answer yourself, it's important to correct misinformation for anyone who may come across this thread in the future.

Not cool of you to get mad at him when he's just trying to help you.
That kind of an attitude will just deter people away from even wanting to help you out.
Just sayin'.
To answer your OP, why not use the Froyo PD15IMG.zip? Are you trying to unroot your phone?
Using the GB PD15IMG.zip probably wouldn't be the best idea even if it worked. Because if it worked then you're stuck at GB which can't be rooted ATM.

I want the update though. And last time I did the froyo zip while perm rooted with gfree and stock hboot, it bricked the phone. I'm trying to collect all the info first cause apparently I want supposed to do that unless I have eng hboot.

Then why not just flash the update? There's like 3 flashable versions out there in the developmental section.
I flashed it last night, not that great. Don't know how you could choose that over Virtual Unity's Sense 3.0, but I guess to each their own.

I have the 'bad' chip and I'm trying to lose root just in case something happens, I also want the update cause froyo was glitchy and I'm starting to have tiny but irritating issues with unity, like wifi calling and my home screen disappearing.

Regarding Engineering Hboot...

Ok I currently have Engineering hboot 85.007 on my phone. A lot of the stickies have 89.005. Which is better and/or the most current. Also what exactly can you do with the engineering bootloader? All it added to the list of options is system info? I'm trying to figure out if I have the right one, and if it is installed properly. I did read, but a lot of the guides are outdated.

What he said. The eng hboot lets you fastboot, which is one extra(and very formidable) protection against permabricking your phone. The other hboot is the standard "consumerized" one; it works fine for most purposes but you don't get the extra protection that constant flashers should have.

I have the 85.007 Engineering bl on mine, but my question is, 'Is 85.007 the best Engineering bl, or is 89.005 an Engineering bl also? I'm trying to understand how many Engineering bl there are, & if one is better than the other, etc. I would like to have the best one available on my device.
Sent from my customized mt4g using XDA premium

85.whatever is the only engineer bootloader. 89.whatever isn't an engineer hboot, that's the consumer one that Tmobile would prefer everyone to have on their phones. Think of the 85 bl as the rooted version and 89.whatever as the stock version.
I hope I don't get burned at the stake for making that analogy lol
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

The reason I am confused, is that in the DEV section, there is a sticky, written by mark manning, with custom recovery and engineering hboot. There are 3 different file packs and in each one, it states "engineering hboot 89.005" ? If that is wrong the maybe they should be changed? But thanks for explaining it to me.

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.
Sent from my ADR6410LVW using xda app-developers app

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.

[Q] HELP! stuck flashing recovery!!!

I need help flashing a recovery on my phone. I'm a noob when it comes to rooting phones and such, I have tried many different things such as goomanager and using rom manager. If anyone could possibly explain in details on what to do, or link me to a possible solution
-I'm already perma rooted
-I have s-off
-I have a clockwork on the phone but whenever I click a section, it comes up blank (Rom manager)
-Installed recovery from ROM Manager

First off, this is the wrong section. But don't worry, everyone makes mistakes lol.
And now for the recovery. If you could get into your phone, like start it up and stuff. Install this app --> http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk
Then install the app and open it. The rest is straight forward. It will install the recovery for you. Hope it helps.

Well if u installed recovery from ROM manager then u already flashed a recovery. U can boot into recovery from ROM manager app.
The link that notorious is providing is to flash a different recovery in the same way.

Yes of course but it might get a little difficult for someone that has never done it.
I was just saying since the recovery was already installed there was nothing more that needed to be done.
I hate clockworkmod, would never go back to it but it works. Got a nook color with it cuz there is not much choice
