How so?

Most versions (if not all) of the DHD are rootable now.

 

What sort of errors are you getting?

 

I'm guessing your unable to root because of a lack of a goldcard with the SD card being an issue. If so its not really something your going to get much help with here unless you want to supply your address for one of us to post one to you??

Otherwise as El P suggests treat it like a maths exam and show us your working out lol

 

If your phone is branded as in will only take simcards from a specific network your gonna need the goldcard. No two ways about it I'm afraid which means its going to be pointless trying any of the steps outlined until that element of the process has been boxed off. Once that is sorted pop back on here and we'll get you through it one way or another.

 

Dont be to hard on yourself lilac, i have the memory card and have read through the steps to downgrade, create a gold card and so on and i dont fancy it at all. If any of the top guys are in Edinburgh, any chance you could root mine for me.

 

Group Hug time guys

Seriously though lilac, I've probably got a few spare SD Cards kicking about you're more than welcome to. I'll have a look for them when I get home from work in the morning. They've probably been "tidied" and put somewhere ridiculous, but I've def got a few.

Murzz, if this post was a week earlier, you'd have been in luck, we were in Edinburgh last Saturday. There's a high probability we'll be there again before November so I'll let you know.

 

El Pres, that would be outstanding

 

Im in the same situation LilacBleeds, you have to downgrade from 2.3.3 first, this is by far and the best guide out there
[GUIDE] Downgrade, Root, Radio & Eng S-OFF DHD/Inspire 4G in 9 Steps

Not done it yet, you can skip the gold card section if ur HD is not branded, mine isnt
Going to do it when I pluck up the courage, looks easy enough

 

Why not ask for one of those too?? lol someone might have a spare one of those lying about the place...what a pointless thread...

 

I'd said this off forum but I can't understand coming onto the section of the forum where you request technical help to sort your software issues out just to say "I can't root...not because I can't grasp the procedure or I'm getting an error message but really just cos I'm skint and haven't got an sd card" I'd have had more time for this if Lilac had just said outright if anyone would mind setting up a goldcard and sending to her. (Could be Fat Baz living above his local Chip Shop for all we know but lets take things at face value.)

This thread follows the same constructive elements as if I'd posted up saying I can't download UNO. Then a raft of people asking me to explain any error messages I'm getting, what version of the market app, if the issue was with Google Checkout etc and then me saying I'm skint and can't afford it...then up offers pop and say voila no worries I have a couple of quid lying about I'll send it to you so you can buy it lol.

(Of which I am open to offers btw...lol)

Nothing personal about any of this...I actually find it quite funny.

 

Regardless of what you decide to do, I've found a 2GB card that's there if anyone needs it.

 

That's true!

That's exactly what I ended up having to do, as the SD card I bought to use a a goldcard didn't work (apparently not all do)
