No advantages. At all. No use.

I have already moved a thread of yours from the Development forum to Q&A, at that time you were reminded not to post a question thread in the Development forum.
With that in mind, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you to read Stop!!!before you post - read this now!!!
Please DO NOT post a new question thread in Development. If you have a question, it should be posted in Q&A.
Thread moved.
Thanks

the new hboot can only be rooted using one method, the version he has, 0.75, that is the same version of mine, and can be rooted using a simple rootedupdate.zip, as well as many other methods... so is it not disadvantageous to upgrade to a newer hboot with greater security for no reason?
thanks for all your replys everyone....ill just stay with 0.75

i became interested about Rooting topics ... even though i did not found a full simple guide to do it on my Desire HD
can i root my Desire HD or not? based on the details below
The phone is Branded to Vodafone UK
Android Ver.
2.2.1
Baseband Ver.

You can't root on 2.2.1 without S-OFF (to have S-OFF U must have a root). We must wait for solution.

Send it to me & I will root it, sell it on eBay and. Send you my old Nokia 3210. Seems that's about as sophisticated a phone as you can manage

It will be moved to the Q&A section where it belongs.
Because you failed to read the rules (see links in my sig).
Because everything is already answered and this has absolutely nothing to do with development...
ok after the method that you link what should i do?

Gasan ask in the thread I posted, its specifically there for that purpose.
But be prepared for:
a) You need some rudimentary understanding of computers
b) You need to understand that anything like this has the risk of making your phone unusable (bricked)
c) Read the ENTIRE thread before you expect anyone to help when you ask any questions, I know this is a bit of a pain but we all had to do it once and it will get you more insight into the process and less rage from the people who spend all their time writing and coding this stuff.
Thus endeth the lesson
Good luck mate.

Its not that we don't want to help, firstly this is the development section, you do not post questions here, there is a separate forum for that.
Secondly you need to use the search function, there's a lot of guides and info here to help. You should at least go through them before posting blindly.
Lastly, welcome to the forum, enjoy and respect the rules .
Is it possible to root an official rom by HTC (2.3.3) developed as RUU?
After upgrade I used UnRevoked 3.2.2 and it doesn't work. I think that the problem is with HBOOT 1.02.0001. Downgrading to official ROM 2.2 (RUU) doesn't work, so it's impossible to root my phone in the same way as i did it before (on Froyo).
You are the 10th user asking this.
If you flashed the RUU - then NO, not yet.
I see than im not the only one with this problem.
To Administrators - please remove this thread
Yo mods, can we please get a merge of all topics related to this one and then sticky it please.
It should be stick 'cause a lot of people have been ”afected” by this hboot update.
Including me T_T
Stop posting these threads........
I repeat myself -_-

oh poor lazy people! pls make some effort and read, you just spaming this thread with same Q over and over again
I Have a HTC Desire (99HKZ011-00) with came with android 2.2 , with I upgraded to 2.3 manually via HTC sync (official update, but not OTA).
Now I would like to run a custom ROM, so I started searching this forum. I noticed that all ways to root my phone didn´t work, so some more searching. It seems that because my Hboot version is 1.02 I´m stuck with my stock rom? is this really the case? Is there any way I can downgrade to stock 2.2? and then root my phone?
Any info would be highly welcome!
I'm not experienced enough to help you with your problem.
However, I can point out to you that you'll find better answers to your question in the forum that's meant for questions.
Cheers!

Hi guys,
I have a Galaxy S and its very easy to install custom ROM's on it but.
A friend of mine has One X and wants 4.1/4.2 with sense
I rooted it but he has a weird CID, how important is the CID not to brick the device?
he has HBOOT 1.12 and from what i know he need a higher version for JB sense. The upgrade i read that is very risky.
Can someone who has patients tell me all the things i need to be carefull if i want, or if i can, to install ca custom ROM with sense+ so i wint brick it.
Before flaming me to search, i did but I'm not confident enough to do it and i cant brick anotherones phone.
Thank you

and find your answer whether your CID is compatible with JB roms or not? If your CID doesn't match with the list then you can't upgrade your HBOOT and please keep in mind that this is developer section please ask your queries in Q&A or general section from next time.
Thak you for the answer
Sorry for that, i don't use the forum for posting that much only for info. Please someone move it to the apropriate section.
The CID is not on the list, its H3G_004
So the only way I can upgrade to JB is to wait for official release?

Yes of course wait for official release as HOX doesn't have S-OFF.
