New Simfree DHD want to root, what not to do? Please help

[saayinla]

Hi All,

I am coming from an HTC Desire to the DHD, my phone is simfree and unlocked from Carphone Warehouse, am on Tmobile though.

I have read a lot about S-ON and S-OFF and Radio etc. I am confused on what to do Next all I want to do is root...and be able to run any superuser apps.

What should I do and not do? What tools do I need to do this...is there a one click rooting app that I can use?

Please advice me on what to do next.

Thanks in advance.

First of all, you need to check what version your Desire HD is running (software information in About Phone)

If you're on 1.72 or 1.75, you'll need to downgrade (I used this really useful guide). Once you've done that or if you are already on 1.32, use this guide to get root and S-OFF etc.

Thanks for that...

Android version 2.2

Build Number: 1.32.405.6 CL278359 release-keys

Software version: 1.32.405.6

I believe I can just go straight root and S-Off

Yeah, no problem, i would recommend getting Radio S-OFF as well
