Root Temp rooting of HDH

[losl]

My HDH is on Android 2.2.1.

Is VISIONary r14 good for temp rooting my HDH ?

Thank you for your advice.

You can't root 2.2.1 you will need to downgrade to 2.2 before you can root with visionary.

Follow this link to a full explanation of how to downgrade: [GUIDE] How to downgrade 1.7x/1.8x/2.x to 1.32.405.6 - xda-developers

Thank you !!

My may purpose of temp rooting my HDH is to remove some unwanted preinstalled app come with the phone.

So after downgrading/temp rooting/removing apps/unrooting, should i then revert (upgrade) to 2.2.1 and later to Gingerbread ? If possible will the already removed unwanted apps come back by upgrading?

Thank you for your advice !!

I wouldn't upgrade to 2.2.1 as it's too buggy, but you can upgrade to 2.3.3 I don't know if they'll return after removing them (technically they shouldn't) but gingerbread IS rootable via a program called Gingerbreak so you can root it and remove the software again regardless

Bear in mind gingerbread is only perm rootable if you have S-OFF, So get that while you are on 2.2 otherwise you will only get temp root in GB

Handy to know

I wouldn't have an issue as I personally already have s-off, but it's very helpful to others
