NOTE: This guide is for phones shipped with froyo and updated to the 3.x firmware! For phones shipped with gingerbread (even the lower versions) please read attn1's posts in this thread!
With the Sense 3.0 upgrade HTC patched against fre3vo, so we can no longer temproot to use misc_version on that firmware. Lucky us, a new exploit was issued @rootzwiki. This exploit was tested at #g2root (freenode) and was able to temproot a 3.13.161.3 firmware version.
The usual disclaimer applies: Everything you do is your responsibility, No one outside of you can be held accountable for any state you put yourself and/or your phone into. If you did not donate to EFF and rooting is illegal in you country, you should read this guide for intellectual purposes only (sorry dude/dudette).
If you meet troubles search for help at IRC: freenode, #g2root
make sure your phone is in 'charge only' mode and the 'fast boot' feature is turned off.
What you need:
tacoroot
misc_version NOTE: you need THAT version of misc_version. Earlier versions would not work.
flashgc for a goldcard
1.32 PD98IMG.zip
put all files in your platform-tools directory (unzip misc_version and tacoroot.sh)
NOTE: the last command will take a long time
After all files are pushed you have to run tacoroot:
This command will reboot the phone to recovery. Once it is done, use vol up/power then choose 'reboot' to reboot the phone. After it boots (it will bootloop, that's expected):
this command will kick you out of adb shell, so we need to return there and see the # sign of root access, after which we can change the main version, create a goldcard and undo tacoroot to boot he phone normally:
After these commands are done, the phone should get rebooted by tacoroot. After it boots, boot to bootloader to flash the 1.32 firmware:
Once in bootloader, use the vol buttons to go to 'bootloader' and the power button to execute. The rom will flash. Enjoy!
