ok firstly my mistake, i have a locked t-mobile Htc Desire, then root it, then install a custom rom then install stock RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed
then run software udate and you have a stock 2.2 rom result.

well done...
<slow hand clap>

Thread is pointless really.
A) Your title and content is completely wrong and how could you not know this when you posted originally and B) The actual rom details etc is well known to most people as there are already plenty of threads here and other forums with same info.
Wake up dude.

This thread should be torched by the mods before too many T-Mo users think this guy is a genius.

[Q] Build# 1.82 how to root it?

For the first.. Hi All !!!
I am a new in Android and HTC brand. I have read some materials on this forum, and would like to make sure and clarify some doubts.
I have checked bulid# and it is 1.82 In some thread it was written that rooting needs below 1.72. If I understood well I will need to downgrade it but is it applicable for 1.82 and if it is, what method would you suggest for me (pls indicate any good thread).
Thanks a lot.

Your best bet is to follow the guide in the wiki and read the linked thread there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD

Ok, thanks but I have read it generally and it is for 1.72 not 1.82 as in my situation. Are you sure it will work?
I would like to have sure..., to not brick my new, already lovely phony Consider too I am a new in this subject, Android and HTC. I wouldn't like to screw up something.

How have you managed to perm root / downgrade your 1.82 g2 ?
I have a desire z 1.82 and I'm stuck on the step 11, it won't ask me to apply the update. Previous steps works.

Ok, I had similar problem and it was caused because I hadn't used Goldencard. So for the first lets check this.
Have you checked your CID?

Hi,
I was stuck in Part 3 where I can't SU in adb shell. The return message is Permission Denied.
After much checking, still do no good. need help....thanks in advance.

Now you can flash custom ROMs. If you like stock soft with sense I advice you to try Virtous ,pretty nice ,I'm using it now.
For going into something more custom try CM7 (be aware it is without sense).

You will lose everything, and you do not need a goldcard.

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 .

[Q] a newbee

hi
well i'm a newbee here, just got my hands on htc wildfire a couple of week back, after reading a series of threads, here's my question :
1. should i really need to root my device?
2. how can i find my hboot version?
3. if anyone of you senior players have a full rooting video, pls snd me the link.
Thanks

hey its me again..
just found out the specs of my device :
hboot 1.01.0002
microp 0622
radio 3.35.20.10
now the new question :
can i root with this ver of hboot???

What phone do you have and also what version are you running??
gingerbread or froyo??

You don't *need* to root. All rooting does is give you privileges to do things to your phone that you otherwise can't do, like install custom roms & other apps that have extended "root-only" features. You will most likely enjoy your phone more if it's rooted. You will also get more help if you post your question in the Wildfire section.

I use my phone about 2x more since I rooted it. Rooting the phone gives you access to customize the phone more to your liking. I use the HTC Incredible with CM and I am still looking for different customizations. Overall, I would root the phone if given the ability.

Agreed!
1st. go to Wildfire dedicated section
2nd. Root is not a must but will give you more flexibilities and extra functions of your phone. Consider like having 150% of your phone.

+1. If you like to tinker around with your phone - root it.
If you want it just be a phone - don't worry about it.

Only way to make the Wildfire and Wildfire S rootable is to use the XTC clip.

Thankx guys for all your suggestions, but i tried rooting it with unevoked, but after wards its says, that your firmware is too new to be rooted,
I use : HTC Wildfire , froyo
hboot 1.01.0002
microp 0622
radio 3.35.20.10
please guys help me out, i need to get 150% control over my cell
Thankx again...

You're in the wrong forum, this is for the Wildfire S...

Exactly, maybe you could find answers in the Wildfire section and also here
http://alpharev.nl/x/beta/
People say this beta version is working for Wildfire.
But be careful, read and ask questions on them IRC channel.
Good luck with rooting

[Q] How to root HTC desire HD ver 2.3.3... ? NEED HELP.. !!

Hii guys..
I am new to this forum.
I need to root my HTC DESIRE HD (gingerbread), with s/w number 2.37.720.3.
But I have learnt from many other sites and other threads in this forum that
Desire HD must be downgraded first.
There are ways to downgrade for s/w number 2.36.XX.X, but couldn't find any for 2.37.
Hope some one kind enough could help me out.
Thanks in advance guys..
Regards,
K.Sagar.

I am afraid you are stuck without root my friend, you cannot temp root 2.37 with gingerbreak and hence downgrade is impossible at present. I guess you will have to wait for HTC to open their bootloaders and then flash a custom rom with root in it.
When HTC will open DHD bootloader... only time will tell.

Thanks for the info dude..

hmm that's not a pleasant news...If I knew that I'd never go for gingerbread update. I do get htc sense error frequently. That's really annoying. so any way I'm positive that the xda pro will come up with solution.
Cheers

Hmm, I reckon someone will figure this out.
Soon, I hope!

Hope you guys at XDA will figure it out... Please find out a solution...
Thank you guys in advance..
Really awaiting a solution..

Yups, guess we all would like to know when HTC opens it's DHD bootloader ...

So did any1 find a way to root 2.37.720.3??? I m pissed with tjis stock rom...vry unstable...wifi conntection drops...no update in india ((

Yes,it can.just follow exactly the 9 steps

Hi All,
Just wondering if there is already a way to root 2.37, I can't seem to find any update on this.

Link was given 4 posts back?? Or use ACE Hack Kit on the forum.

Thanks, another question I have 2.37.707.4 is this considered a branded phone?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

try this for downgrading

I would love to root my DHD but I have no space memory cards or anything and I am a bit of a dumb blonde too but I guess I will just have to leave it with what I got

Go get yourself a SD card and use the method posted above
