just installed gingerbread on my htc desire hd. and now my root has gone. i know VISIONary wont work on this yet so is there any other way to gain root access??
Hard to say. Sometimes official updates are designed by the carrier along with the manufacturer to disable any root access. If it was an update that required a wipe first, then definitely root will be lost.
Sometimes it's better to find a ROM that has a great reputation for frequent updates and stick with them, however, if you've lost root thanks to the latest update then you may be waiting a while for someone to figure out how to root this latest update to your phone unless you made sure to get something on there like RA that will let you wipe the phone and restore from a previous nandroid backup.
Gingerbreak...
hey could u please explain to me how u installed the gingerbread on ur htc desire hd...i have an unrooted one so idk if its possible to install the new gingerbread RUU but my downgrading process keeps failing (CID Error). I've got my phone running on 1.84.720.3...if you could please help me I would really appreciate it.
However, I've read around the forum and people are claiming that you can reroot your phone with Gingerbreak. Im not sure exactly how..im really new to this but im sure you can find out how to use gingerbreak by searching for it...

you mean the CID on making a gold card. how are you making the gold card?? with hex editing or with a software that does it for you?? i found i had the same problem so i used a hex editor, then worked first time. whats your email, i will send you all the links i used
finally got it to work. Now officially running gingerbread have u tried to gingerbreak? Also is there anyway to restore the applications from the SD card to the phone without the apk file?
well im not quite sure about the apps as i havent really messed around with it myself yet :/ i have tried doing the gingerbreak but came across a few problems, but i will carry on and keep trying how did you manage to sort your CID issue??
Yeah finally got the goldcard to work haven't tried to gingerbreak yet...not sure if its worth rooting since I already have gingerbread with sense running...any reason I should root?

Hey guys sorry for this but I have been trying to get android 3.1 installed on my Htc Hd2.
I know there are loads of threads out there on this and I must have read most of them from top to bottom but i am only getting more and more confused.
I have froyo 2.2 installed on my hd2 with a few months which I did via this article
dkszone.net/install-nand-android-rom-htc-hd2
Does it make a difference for me having installed via nand? Im not a computer expert I just love tinkling with my phone and am really afraid that if i keep winging it I will end up bricking it
I have been trying to install by using this guide but i cannot get my phone to root.
androidpolice.com/2010/04/16/complete-guide-how-to-fully-back-up-and-restore-your-android-phone-using-nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/#one-time-setup
I have titanum backup downloaded and then it wants me to get busybox but I cannot get SU to work and give it permission.
Please if anyone could just help me get 3.1 installed I'd be very grateful.
I think if i can get it to just root I could get the rest done
P.S my apologies if this is in the wrong section
As the title says, I have the Samsung Galaxy SII Sprint's variation. I rooted my phone when it was on the version before Gingerbread EL29. I used the SuperOneClick method to root my phone and after doing that, 'Superuser' was installed on my phone. Everything was going fine until I accidentally updated my phone to Gingerbread 2.3.6 EL29 via Sprint's over-the-air update. I know it sounds dumb from me but I really knew that if I updated my phone I could mess up my root privileges, but that pop up update was showing up each 5 minutes, that in one of them I accidentally pressed 'install'. Now I have tried to unroot my phone with SuperOneClick but 'Superuser' is still there and when I access an app that requires root privileges like 'Wireless Tether' it says that my phone is not rooted. I also tried to do a factory reset and root again with 'SuperOneClick' but it freezes up (I guess it's because 'Superuser' is still there?) I was also thinking on installing a rooted rom but I don't know if I can install custom roms (I don't know if I have CWM and if it will mess up because I'm not rooted?..) Right now I just want to get the latest rooted stable release possible.. Sorry for extending myself but I wanted to give all the important details as possible as I am new in handling root phones and also in this forum. I will appreciate any help, thanks!

Thank you PakAttack1994! I watched the video and even though it didn't work at the first time, I was able to ask him my questions and he was able to answer them. If you want to see with the problems that I went through and his replies are on the video comments. I'm the user 'jamesssssss'
lol np, I just pointed you in the right direction. qbking77 deserves a whole heap of credit over me.
so i've read so many forums, done everything i can, every method, but to no avail; im still not able to root my htc raider. the most recent forum i came across, which supposedly the simplest and easiest method to root my phone, is this " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003 " i thought the video was supposedly a step by step tutorial, but not as much as i expected it to be. because of my previous attempt before using this toolkit, i was only able to unlock the bootloader, so i skiped the part were u have to do it. i went straight to flashing the cwm and was successful. with that, i was able to use backup/restore. then i went to permroot and all i got from the command promt was adb stuff out of date. i thought maybe i have to flash my kernel so i did. but then i got stock on the htc logo. can anyone plz help me

Help guys. I've been at this all, and I'm starting to pull my hair out. There are so many steps and guides, and it's just so confusing and frustrating. Doing X requires you to do Y first, but when you try to do Y, it tell you to do X first.
What I'm trying to achieve is to unlock my phone, debrand it, find a nice ROM (perhaps try Jellybean or Kitkat) and update the firmware to 3.3
So far, I've been able to HTC Dev unlock it, and apply S-Off. Now I'm trying to install Clockworkmod Recovery, but it says "You must root your phone. Superuser was not found".What the heck is rooting? What is Superuser? Is it the same thing? I tried to install SuperSU app, but it says your device must be rooted so I guess not! How the heck do I root my phone?
Please, can someone walk me through this? Talk to me like I'm a dummy.
Thanks.
I think I've got it figure out now.
