Here's the link you need. If you're handset is network branded, you'll need to create a goldcard first. There's a link with instructions to do that is in the XDA post.

Hello Folks,

I have the software versions as given below:
Android Version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense Version : 2.1
Baseband : 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel : 2.6.35.10-g0956377 (htc-kernel@and18-2#1)
Build Number : 2.36.405.8 CL47853 release-keys
Software : 2.36.405.8

and tried the solution as given to the reply to the post (link to xda forums). I have an unlocked unbranded HTC Desire HD. The cmd window looks like below.

c:\Htc>adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb server is out of date. killing...
*daemon started successfully*
410 KB/s <16830 bytes in 0.04s>

c:\Htc>adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp
adb server is out of date. killing...
*daemon started successfully*
410 KB/s <16830 bytes in 0.04s>

c:\Htc>adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb server is out of date. killing...
*daemon started successfully*

c:\Htc>adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
adb server is out of date. killing...
*daemon started successfully*

C:\Htc>adb shell
adb server is out of date. killing...
*daemon started successfully*
$su
su: permission denied
$

I would appreciate if anyone could help me out.
 
according to the script above he hasn't actually run Gingerbreak yet.

when you see the $ sign, type

/data/local/tmp/GingerBreak <enter>
 
Sorry, my post wasn't worded that well. I was trying to ascertain if the "$su" was appearing of it's own accord, or is he was actually typing "su" in himself, missing the /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak step.

Thanks for all you guys for the replies. For the first question, Yes I typed su after I see $ sign. I read somewhere that if I get $ instead of #, then it means that I don't have super user. So by typing su, there should be a pop up on phone for allowing access. But when I type su it says access denied. Also, I don't get any pop up on my phone to allow access.

I don't understand why I get the following after every time i type adb command:

adb server is out of date. killing...
*daemon started successfully*

I have HTC sync installed on machine and I did try two microsd cards of different make. Same thing......

Once again guys, yo'all are doing a great thing. Great Forum......Cheers

Forgot to reply to this post. My mistake, I typed the cmd window myself....so I might have missed writing the line...yes I did type ./data/local/tmp/GingerBreak after I get the $ sign but nothing.....still $...
 
Hello Guys,
I finally made it work. It's a bit complicated process but the xda forum link to downgrade is right BUT there are many things that would not allow the hack to work even if you are following evey step carefully. In my case my sd card was ok, htc syc drivers on my PC were ok, but somehow it still did not work. I then factory reset my phone, reformatted sd card and tried again and this time it worked. Like I posted above that before this whenever I ran Gingerbreak in cmd it would just hang or quickly return to $ before doing it's thing.
Again thanks for everyone for helping me out.

Cheers
