Sorry,i imagine this has been asked many times before.I have seen mention of Hard spl's and other thing a ma jigs lol.
Many thanks Tony
You really have a lot of reading to do. So much that we cannot post it all here. It has taken an entire forum for all of the information. You need to start here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Get familiar with what you can do. First thing you are going to want to do is update the boot loader so you don't brick your device. Read here for more information:

Do not "just install" ... ideally read the wiki first, and then follow instructions on Mrvanx's Guide. Upgrading is pretty painless and easy ... and the guide should keep you on track.
A ha ,i knew there would be more to it than that,not sure what a wiki is lol but looks like im gonna find out.
If someone could just give me a list of things to do before hand ill do the appropriate reading
i.e 1 upgrade the boot loader etc etc ,please dont go into detail a mere shopping list will do.
,thanks for the links by the way.
Best wishes tony

Understand what you have read.
Flash your phone.

My subjective pick is Black 3.01 ...
Remember to go "Hard SPL" first, and that you need to upgrade your radio seperately.
Right just updated the Hard splv7 and my radio to 1.41.00.10,ive also flashed with black 3.0. Now i cant seem to get a wireless link to work or turn on my bluetooth?
Also does this mean i can flash any cooked rom?
Many thanks Tony
Update: it just needed a reboot and all was well.
Getting back to the above question-can i flash with any coocked rom now?
Thanks for all your help.Tony

generally speaking, yes.... but be sure you are flashing OS only (unless you want to upgrade your radio too). Most folks are putting out OS only upgrades now, but some replace the radio. once you are hard spl and no longer a flashing virgin, it becomes second nature.
Thanks for everyones help,all sorted,nice one!
Wow what a refreshing read. A noob explaining himself and asking clear questions and members helping him out in an open and non-judgemental way...
Well done everyone!
...and no flames...
Kudos go to MrVanx for those incredible guides.
Yep superb guides and a very noob friendly thread,thanks again peeps.Flashed to a couple of different roms today to check them out.
OK I'm a noob. I've just downloaded Gen.Y_D2_R5.3-WWE.7z for my HTC Touch Diamond P3700. (On Australia's 3G Network)
Now how do I go about installing it in my phone / flashing it? I've read a few posts but obviously it hasn't sunk in my brain. What do I need, is there additional software I need to complete the flashing. I've read a lot of stuff about cooking etc but have no clue.
Cheers, all help would be appreciated.

Well, you're gonna need your reading glasses, lol...this is a good point to start:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
and this one is also very usefull:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=608668
Anywayz first of all your phone needs HardSPL to be able to flash other roms then the one that came with your device.
I'm sure you'll figure it out, cuz this noob did that too .
O and consider edtiting the subject of your topic cuz this has nothing to do with cooking (= creating a rom) but more with unlocking and flashing custom roms.
Good luck and have fun re inventing your Diamond!
Hi there all,
I'm new with this forum & also new with Touch HD, I'm using the original ROM, when try to install some CAB programme it doesn't work at all.. I need help from you guys to make my HD looks great.. Thank you in advance.. looking forward for great answer that can help me make my HD looks great...
Its seems that many NEW peoples come here in the FORUM.. the Touch HD is a device more than 2 years old so i can tell you that Everything you can do with your device is Already writen here in the Forum.. also here have a wiki and you can read and read and read and understand how the things work.
Also only you know what you have in your mind what mean for you to looks great?
I don`t wana be rude but from around a mounth or maybe more everyday i see some post like this.. If you read you will understand ALMOST EVERYTHING you need to know, the reason to write you is because nobody is born with knolage for example befor years when we start to use this device or any other we test, read and read and read... and spend alot hours in this forum and not only to understand everything so.. do not think that someone will write you here okay install this CAB and your device will look great... the things are alot more complicated...and the best way is everyone to find it by yoursel..
I don`t wana say that you cannot open posts here.. but for something that you really don`t have answers or some kind of problem... OK but i can not understand to ask something that...even if i wana answer you is not posible.....
Excusme me but if everyone who buy a Touch HD and come here and open posts like this... how will look like this forum?!
If you don`t wana read and find all the things by yourself.. then nobody can help you...
I hope also all the new USERS here to read this and ASK a serious Questions.
Dear Tsalta,
I've read through alot & try alot of installation & downloads but seems that I still unable to install things that is under CAB file. I tried to install ROM from Dutty but also unable to do it. I've read lot of site but still unable to perform anything. Does that means I'm useless or what. I'm just seeking for some help that can really get me started. I've read through this forum for almost 2 months. I read almost every THREAD and also WIKI

The reason you write " I need help from you guys to make my HD looks great " Mean you DONT KNOW OR READ ANYTHING because if you read you will know there is not such as magic to install something and voala... About how to Flash a ROM i already write to one "new" user and will not write the same anymore you can read it and flash a new ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657816&page=2
Here i wrote Guide step by step very simple im sure you don`t read this.. then dont say you read alot and almost everything.. if you use the search on this forum and wrote how to flash ROM will see alot of Post explaining very well.
Also if you read will know that depends from what kind of ROM u use do your device is unlocked and what manila version and thousend other stuffs you cannot write just like that... i cant install cabs.. What kind of cabs? where? what error giving you?
What Manila u are using.. or what kind of Windows?!?
They are thousend of questions...
And like i say.. im not here to explain to every new the whole world.. so READ if you read will know what to do...
Hello philiphoh,
it's always good to see new people coming in and I guess I need not to talk about what tsalta has said. But here's some links that I think would be helpful for you.
To change your SPL/Radio/Custom ROM/etc, this is the best tutorial to read though: Digital Outcast's Dummy Guide
As for your .cab files that do not work, normally it's because of compatibility issue, or the place where you install the cab files (phone/storage card), or maybe the cert (sdkcerts.cab) issue, if you're on a stock rom.
to make your phone look great, normally I'll go through the thread Post Your HD Screens. A lot users showed cool stuffs of their Blackstone and if you like them, you can just ask them to share, and normally they will.
Hope you can find your way =) Well, it's all like what tsalta said, READ.
Hey
I have just got my HTC Desire rooted and don't have a clue how to use it, so anyone wanna give me pointers or tell me how to customize or do as much as i can with this rooted HTC Desire, i have a rom installed on it called Lee Droid, but i was hoping to find out if i can add any other roms or do other things with it, someone please help me?!! lol
anyways thanks for reading this and i hope one of use helps me
Gratz on getting it rooted!
I guess the first thing you can do is theme it with the theme kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775970
Just be careful about what you select. Or else you will cause yourself a bootloop.
Just to be safe do a nandroid backup and have a rom named update.zip ready to be flashed in the RUU if anything goes wrong.
Moved to Q&A as you may get more help here than in the Themes forum.
If this doesn't work out for you, PM me and I'll move it back
To be honest if you don't know what rooting is then you probably don't need it - always best to read up on it all before doing it!!

so you have LeeDroid, good, now, download Espresso's theme, which specifically is made for LeeDroid
find bundles and bundles of apps that you can use to mess with the rom, like a terminal emulator, root explorer, setCPU and many more, if you dont know how, check out my appbrain, loads of stuff
