latest version by mistake
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003

This is complete guide for all HTC Desire HD owners who want's
to root their devices and install custom recovery image.

FLASH THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF

ANYTHING GOES WRONG

I have collected and summarize few guides on this forum in

order to collect all informations on one place.
Check following threads for additional informations.

sfjuocekr thread below.

Summary:
1) Download Paul's Visionary+ tool (I have used version r12)
(google removed this app from market) so You will have to
download it from Paul's website.
This tools enables root and removes new HTC protection.
2) Install engineering version of HBOOT to get S-Off (HTC
bootloader, something like BIOS for Your PC)
This step is optional and it's not required in order to flash
custom ROM's on Your DHD but gives You more freedom with
Your device.
3) Install custom recovery image (recovery is special program
which is invoked from HBOOT
in order to flash ROM onto Your device.

Detailed description:
1) Download Paul's Visionary+ tool
1.1) Click here to download
http://android.modaco.com/content/ht...ne-click-root/ or
download it from here http://forum.xda-
developers.com/atta...3&d=1290501865
1.2) Install Visionary+ on Your DHD

converted by Web2PDFConvert.com
 1.3) Run it, enable "Set system r/w after root
1.4) Click "Temproot Now!" - Wait until it's finished
1.5) Click Attempt Permroot Now!
1.6) DHD automatically reboot's
To test that everything went fine download from market
application "terminal emulator"
run it, type su
If You get after that sign # it mean's that everything went fine.

Time for next step!

2) Install engineering version of HBOOT to get S-Off

2.1) Download sfjuocekr DHD script for flashing HBOOT from
here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835746
2.2) Unzip it and copy it to Your SDCard (It's important that
You have on Your SDCard root directory with name DHD and all
files inside this directory. Rename DHD-smart folder on Your
SDCARD to DHD.
2.3) Run Terminal Emulator
2.4) Type su
2.5) Type "sh /sdcard/DHD/check
(Please be aware that You have to type "sh" in front of
command)
2.6) If everything went OK type
sh /sdcard/DHD/backup
2.7) If this also went OK proceed with
sh /sdcard/DHD/hboot
This command will install engineering hboot which have S-Off
turned off.

3) Install custom recovery image

3.1) Since ROM manager now officially support's Desire HD, we
will use it to download and install custom clockwork image.
3.2) Run android market app on Your DHD and download and
install ROM Manager app from market.
3.3) Download and install ROM manager.
3.4) Run ROM manager and select first option (Flash
ClockWorkMod Recovery).
3.5) Wait until ROM Manager say's that installation went
successfully (Current version of ClockWorkMod is 2.5.1.3)
3.6) After installation tap in Rom manager option Reboot into
Recovery to test that everything went well.
3.7) DHD should reboot in clockwork recovery manager.

Enjoy.

Alright this probably sounds disgustingly noob but my phone isn't going into bootloader mode x_x. I've rooted
Member the phone and followed the S-OFF procedure and no luck... Any ideas?

Posts: 44 EDIT: Don't worry issue resolved. I had to end up using adb shell reboot bootloader. It's still a bit weird though,
Join Date: Sep 2010 as to why I can't do this without adb...

(I hade run into the strange problem for which I'm not sure is it problem with my PC or DHD, each time when
I connected my DHD via USB cable my SDCard was automatically mounted as Disk Drive instead of just being
in "Charge only" mode. I resolved this by removing back cover and ejecting SDCard and inserting it again
while phone was operational, which is very unsafe thing to do!).

Enjoy.

known issue : can't remember the app, double-twist I think, it auto mounts SD card. Do you have that?
Deselect or uninstall.

Yup looks like it. It's saying ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.2. The only issue is, I can't select any of the options

Just another question though, using NANDROID am I able to backup my current ROM? I'm with Vodafone
australia and I want to be able to restore this ROM (for warranty purposes).

Haha just making sure . I didn't want to lose my current ROM because Vodafone doesn't honour warranties on
phones that have been modified in this manner.

Also I forgot altogether to say thanks lol! Thanks for the simple and straightforward guide
