Please make sure you have the phone's drivers installed on the computer you are using, otherwise this will not work.

Temp Root:

1. Enable USB debugging on your phone and place your phone on CHARGE ONLY (If this doesn't work, try choosing 'HTC Sync' when connecting USB)

2. Download the DHD Downgrade folder and extract it to the root of your hard drive (usually this is the "C:\" drive on your computer)

3. Run the file named "RUN THIS FOR ROOT". A command prompt will open and will begin to do the adb steps for you.

If the scan hangs, just reboot your DHD and start again.

You may not get all the messages (due to flushing issues when we kill adb), but if you get kicked back to your system command prompt, try "adb shell"

If you see '#' you successfully have temproot.

If you want to use Titanium Backup, you must do the following:

1. Download Busybox, su & fixsu.sh and Superuser.apk

2. Run the following commands in CMD...

3. Install Superuser.apk

4. Install Titanium Backup from the Market

5. Run the following commands in CMD:

If you see...

...ignore it

You can now use Titanium to backup all User Apps + Data (You can backup System apps too)

If you don't want to go any further than rooting, and just want temproot to remove bloatware, you can also use Titanium backup to do that.

Temproot will be enabled until phone is rebooted.

Downgrade:

1. Create a goldcard:

2. Place the stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip on the root of your SDcard/Goldcard

4. Open the file in the folder named "RUN THIS FOR DOWNGRADE". The command prompt will opn and begin to do the adb steps for you.

5. You should see a white bootloader screen, press the power button to enter the bootloader and it should automatically start to detect the PD98IMG.zip file.

6. You will see a blue progress bar on the right of the screen while the file is being checked. You should now be asked to confirm if you want to install this ROM, press 'Volume Up' to confirm. Wait patiently while the ROM is installed.

7. Once the installation is complete, press the 'power' button to restart your phone.

You have successfully downgraded to stock 1.32 :)

How to Root 1.32:

1. Download and install Visionary+ to your Desire HD

2. Open Visionary+ and choose "Temproot now". The screen may go black and may become unresponsive, please allow it to finish.

3. After temproot, choose "Attempt permroot now". This will attempt to permanently root your Desire HD. Your device should then reboot.

4. After reboot, you should successfully be rooted.

How to Flash recovery with ClockworkMod

1. Search Android Market for a free app called 'ROM Manager'. Once found, install it.

2. Once it has been installed, launch 'ROM Manager' on your phone.

3. In ROM Manager, tap 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery'. Tap on 'Desire HD' when it pops up.

4. Be patient as ClockworkMod is installed, as it can take quite some time. Once it has finished , you have ClockworkMod recovery installed on your phone.

You should now have stock 1.32, root, S-off, and CWM Recovery.

You can now flash a ROM using Clockworkmod :)

Please press Thanks :)
