[Q] Rooting HTC Desire - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I`m trying to root my girlfriend`s HTC Desire HD cause she's having a big freeze issue with the Stock Rom. So I have tried with the Advanced Ace hack Tools but it says that my device need a downgrade and when I hit yes it I get a 404 errors when the soft try to download a file. So i`m looking for a fix or an alternative to root the phone (and eventually install ClockworkMod Recovery and CyanogenMod 10.1).

[Q] Red exclamation mark when trying flash rom

Hi!
I just rooted my HTC Desire Z which was Android 2.3.3 through downgrading it to Android 2.2 and the running Visionary+.
After that I installed ClockworkMod and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery.
When I use Reboot into Recovery in ClockworkMod I get a red exclamation mark only also when I go to recovery from bootloader manually.
Someone said my phone is restoring the stock recovery after every reboot due to the way its rooted.
Alternate bootloader in ClockworkMod is grayed out so I cant install that either.
Any ideas what to do?

Correct. It is the most recommended (actually I think the only) method currently.

First if you read what biohazrd51 linked you to then you would now understand that Visionary + can and usually does brick your phone or make it impossible to use. The root method that biohazrd 51 linked was what you NEEDED to do rather than use the Visionary +. Chances are good you now have a very expensive door stop. I am NOT a programmer by any stretch, I hope you can recover, if so please let us know so that others may read and it help them. Best of luck to you.

Ok I factory reset my phone and now root is gone. Its still Android 2.2 which is good since in the first link you gave me one needs to downgrade if having 2.3.
In those rooting instructions one is asked to load the appropriate Hboot file:
Download the appropriate HBOOT for your phone:
T-Mobile G2: vision.hboot-0.76.2000.zip (md5sum 7669AE12DC2FAA10AE555A164980EFD0)
HTC Desire Z: vision.hboot-0.84.2000.zip (md5sum 2CE1BDD5E4C1119CCFCECB938710D742)
HTC Desire HD: ace_glacier.hboot-0.85.2007.zip (md5sum df4fd77f44993eb05a4732210d2eddc6)
How do i find out if I have a T-Mobile G2 or a Desire Z since to my knowledge both look same. I live in Finland by the way.
...if you bought your device in finnland you propably got a desire z. anyway if you flash the g2 hboot on a dz or the other way around you wouldn´t harm your phone...
only the desire hd hboot is a no go.
if you want to be sure look into your bootloader and google your hboot number
best thing to do is use the desire z hboot, because then you can flash sense 3+ roms (even if you have a g2)
EDIT: before you start, does your bootloader show s-off?
That red exclamation mark is the stock recovery. If it happens when you have sorted S-OFF (do not use Visionary !), just try flashing ClockworkMod recovery again.

At the top, just under the speaker grill of the phone, does it say htc or t-mobile?
If its htc ==> Desire Z
T-mobile ==> G2
-Nipqer
The other method root worked and i could install ClockworkMod properly and flash to CyanogenMod rom.
Worked! Thx for you help guys!

Best way to tell htc=desire z and tmobile=g2
Either way u can't go wrong with flashing on these phones. I've tried before sadly

Not "usually", but there were a decent amount of soft bricks when Visionary was being used by more people. Enough for most folks on here to conclude that its not as safe as the Wiki method, so not worth it.

[Q] How to Downgrade desire hd?

Hello everyone,
I want to root my desire hd but to do that I need to have Froyo on my desire hd. I readed a few guides to downgrade the desire hd but for all of them i need to have Advanced Ace Hack Kit. Now since that has been discontinued i don't know how to downgrade it. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Why do you need to downgrade?
Because i want to root my desire hd. and you need to downgrade to froyo to root it.
thanks for your reply but the only problem is that i can't download the PD98IMG.zip in the thread because I'm getting a survey.
Do you know where i can download it?
The only way aside from the retired AAHK is to unlock the bootloader. You don't need to downgrade to do that.
I messed for ages with the hack kit but there doesnt seem to be a reliable download for the PD98IMG.
Use HTDEV to unlock hboot
Fastboot flash a recovery
Use recovery to install a custom rom
Fastboot flash the roms boot.img (extract from the rom zip)
Hope this helps
Stu
thanks for your replies but I fixed it. I just downloaded a froyo RUU and now I have froyo and its rooted.

AAHK is retired and unsupported. The other things you linked to are also out of date. Use the Easy Ace Root Tool.
