Default [GUIDE] How to PermaRoot your Desire HD

I have just complied this Step-by-Step guide on how to root your Desire HD.

I by no means created the root, I simply used my own and others knowledge to put this guide together to help everyone.

Hopefully this is more of a beginners guide so we can ease new Android users into a bit of coding rather than relying on Apps to do the work

There was a lot of people asking how to do it since they couldn't figure it out from adwinp's post and any advice was getting lost in the thread.

I just put my own work into a new thread so it was easy for people to find

And this method avoids terminal or adb so is a bit more beginner friendly I was going to wait for the visionary update tomorrow but now thanks to evostance's guide I have permaroot on the day it was found/exploited/invented.

Yes and No.

I don't know if VISIONary will just be able to root one Kernel Version, or if it will be able to modify the wpx.ko file depending on your Kernel Version.
