[Q] ROOT with stock 2.3.5

[ILA]

I have the HTC DHD and I just want root access on my current ROM. I'm running the stock Sense 3.0 Android 2.3.5. I have considered using the aahk for this job but I think there is no way to backup my current ROM before downgrading. I will be flashing other ROMs once I have root so i need a S-OFF as well. I just need a copy of my current ROM because my phone is still under warranty and I want to have the ability to unroot it and return it to it's former state if I ever need to. I know that the aahk is the way to go, I just don't know how to make the backup of my current ROM before the downgrade.

Wht version of the rom do u have. Plus if u just want to backup ur rom for warranty or returning to stock, u can do tht by running stock RUU on your phone but i am not sure if u can find specific carrier roms but as for WWE(worldwide edition) i am sure u can.

On the phone under "Software number" it says 3.12.405.1. In the efffen manual the only ROM with that number is HTC WWE Europe 3.12.405.1 . Is that the same ROM? If it is, also in the efffen manual it says that it downgrades HTC WWE Europe 3.12.405.1 to HTC WWE EU GB 2.50.405.2...
That is exactly why I want to do the backup before I downgrade.
Do you need to know what carrier I'm on to help me or is the ROM number enough?

No I thinks it's ok. Use apps from market to backup stuff like sms/mms, contacts before rooting.

Since you need to downgrade from your current version to root your phone, I'm not aware of a way to back up your current app data or system settings. You can back up your apps, though, with Titanium Backup or something similar.

Don't follow YouTube videos; they can be outdated or unclear. Use the Advanced Ace Hack Kit; it does everything for you. Google for it: "attn1 aahk."

I don't need my current app data backed up, I'm just interested in backing up my ROM (not system setings) so that I could use my warranty once I need it (via unrooting).
Muikkuman: So you're saying that I can download my ROM? Could you please post me the link?

AAHK includes an unroot option with a stock RUU. You can unroot and reflash a stock (maybe not YOUR stock, but a stock) with it.

Yeah, but I need my RUU for the warranty to be valid... Could you please check if it includes that specific one?

I see what you are asking now. I believe it comes with a WWE RUU, so no, it is not.

Wait, that's not the file name. The link should be from a site with" tau" and "shadowchild" in it.

Yeah, you are spamming here. That is not the question I have asked... Look it up on the efffen manual and other Q&As. If that doesn't help make your own question. Hope you find your answer soon.

I see what you are asking now. I believe it comes with a WWE RUU, so no, it is not.

So I basically have to find the HTC WWE Europe 3.12.405.1 RUU on the net to regain my warranty if I ever need it?

I'm not sure how warranties work (mine is long out of warranty), but yes, if you need to have the same build version on the phone as when you got it, you will need to find your original RUU.

Ok, do you know any sites where I could download my RUU or can you post a link with my specific RUU?

There's a stickied index thread at the top of the DHD Development forums. I'd start there.

Wait a minute, you're already S-OFF. You're already rooted. What is it you want to do?
