Happy New Year first of all you had to open a thread in the general section. You are not developing anything from what I see.
Secondly I recommand the Ace Hack kit which worked fine in my phone and in my girlfriends phone, try this post:

That should not be used. That is why it was closed, so be grateful that it didn't work.
The only game in town to root and gain S-OFF your device is the Hack Kit. Use the hack kit site and no other stuff, it will jam you up and won't get enough support.

the guide you're talking about is the one who messed up my own phone... , because i received G2 rom , instead of sense , plus the comments are very negative
besides guys check this link http://theunlockr.com/category/howto/android_how_tos/htc-desire-z-how-tos/
it's the how to for Desire Z , and it has no unrooting guide , the HTC Vision G2 t-mobile does. but that's not what i want i want sense stock back...
sorry out of ideas...but my friend told me it worked...good luck

Some advise on Dhd running 2.3.3 . .

Hi Fellow Xda-ers,
I am new here and have been browsing thr forums for a few weeks, and its this place that made me get the dhd.
Any who i got the handset two days ago, Its on contract, Locked to Orange Uk, Running Android 2.3.3 with a software number of: 2.37.61.11.
Now i have been looking around the forums and scratching my head for ages trying to find out if i am able to:
1.) Root
2.) DownGrade
3.) Flash custom roms.
Any advise is appreciated,
Thanks.
I'm sorry pal, build 2.37 can't downgrade yet, so you can't root. Our fellow modders are working on a workaround with no success yet.

Yes. If you are married or have a partner spend the time with them now because when they work out the fix for 2.37 you will only have eyes for your DHD
Lmao true true. So no nodding what so ever ? Lol

gratz enjoy ur phone as we should be able to enjoy it i've been soo happy with mine since I unlocked/changed room
Hi. I ve dhd. It's s-off with build number 2.37 running gingerbread 2.3.3. So my question can I downgrade without having to temproot first cuz its s-off..
Desperately waiting for ur answer
Im afraid not, if you are on contract do what i did, Call your provider tell them its stuck in a bootloop due to a failed ota rom update, and they will replace the phone for you, well maybe, Orange UK did, i called in 7.30pm and received the phone next morning.
Then that way you "may" get a phone that has not been updated, the replacement i got was on 2.1 :0)

You can try superonklick to gain shell root, and then try to perm root

Any news here? I'm totally frustrated, want to root the DHD but with this version it seems impossible...

Can you tell us how? Because this software version seems to have patched the exploit used to gain root.
I tried to do it using zergRush exploit and it did not work.
same here...
Any way to downgrade to sense 2.1?

I have the same issue. I could not find any ROM that really made me want to root my DHD until the ICS, but I just accepted the OTA for 2.3.5 few weeks ago.
Did anybody try this?

"Works on HTC DESIRE HD 2.3.5 - OTA UPDATE3.12.405.1 THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Got the same problem over here. I had an unbranded phone but my 3.5mm jack was corrupted (i guess just dirty or some wear on the pins) so they replaced my entire motherboard.
Guess what, they installed this vodafone-branded ROM and now im stuck with this stupid device only for a corrupted jack slot.
3.13.161.3? i dont know this base which country?
Vodafone has put it on my DHD this afternoon after a repair. Its a dutch store but maybe its vodafone-widely spreaded and then i guess its in germany too. I dont know other countries they use this ROM.
But im gonna hope the guys there will put an unbranded ROM on it. Or else it won't be a happy year for them.
Htc supertool worked for me!
I'm on 3.12.405.1 (also Sense3) .. but my phone was already Ship S-off first (from trying CM7 back in june).
Now it's time for ARHD or RCMix3d - yiiiipeeedeee!
doesn't work with 3.13.161.3, has anybody some more ideas?

Use The Advanced Ace Hack Kit. Very simple to use if you read the Effen Manual

Did you even read the Addvanced Ace Hack Kit thread? About 20 lines down in huge red letters it states this:
•Sense 3, including those with RELOCKED HTC BOOTLOADERS (NOTE: NOT UNLOCKED - MUST BE LOCKED OR RELOCKED) is auto-detected in hack step. Option is given to download a GB RUU and downgrade or abort. This WILL wipe data.

Sense 3 is the 2.3.5 ROM. So yes it will work but it has to downgrade the ROM and it gives you the option to do so.
The Hack Kit works for all version of sense. Don't follow tutorials, just read the OP thread, the effen manual and follow instructions. It you do so, will work as a charm.

No, that video is missing a lot of information. Do as glevatin advised and read the kit, if not chances are you'll post again saying your phone is "messed" up
