Hello all,
I followed the guide to root my phone that was titled "Idiot proof root quide" that can be found on the androidforums. I then installed fresh 0.3 and I've been running that for a while and had no desire to flash the new fresh roms. Well, now that fresh has released a ROM with froyo at its base I've decided to make the jump.
Yesterday I downloaded and installed the latest rom from fresh (3.1.0.1) but I was unaware that there were new radio updates and kernals to install. This is where I'm running into trouble. For some reason when I have 3.1.0.1 installed my phone wont stay connected to the computer. Once I plug the USB cord in it will ask me if I wan't to charge, disk drive, etc but then 2 seconds later it will disconnect. I've gone back to fresh 0.3 and it works fine.
SO, my questions are:
1. How do I install the latest radio for fresh (please help me with links, I've looked but have become easily frustrated)
2. How do I install the latest kernal with Amon Ra flash (it is my understanding that you need this to install the newest radio/kernal). I understand I need fastbook and the android SDK but I don't think I'm setting these two applications up correctly when I download them.
If you can direct me to any threads that will assist me I will greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
another way you can try is putting the radios on before you flash the rom to fresh3. I would flash using AMon Ra just because there have been reports of clockwork not fully clearing cache/dalvik. The best way to do this in my opinion is if you have rom manager installed at the bottom you will find flash alternate recovery, use that then try clearing wiping everything and reflashing. If you put the radios on your sd card first jsut boot into froyo once then power down flash radio boot, power down flash wimax. boot.
then try and see if you usb is still having problems. If it is let us know.
Download the radios and kernels you want with your phone, then reboot into recovery. All of them flash like ROMs, just select the zip you want and flash it. Just don't wipe first.
I think the order would be kernel first, then radio, then WiMax if necessary. Always reboot at least between radio and WiMax, maybe after kernel as well.

New Radio: http://geekfor.me/evo/radio/baseband-215000728/
New Wimax Radio: http://geekfor.me/evo/radio/wimax-26023r01/
No need a custom Kernel for now, the ROM has its own, if you want a Kernel anyways you can flash Netarchy's Revision 3.7.6c - Froyoized but it has a side effects with the camera pixels!

3 out of 5? lol
Wow, thank you for the quick responses guys/gals! So it seems that I was making this more difficult than it needs to be.
Summary of what I need to do:
1. Flash new kernel if I choose to but each ROM comes with a custom kernel.
2. Flash new radio update.
3. Flash Wimax update.
4. Flash fresh 3.1.0.1
Now, I hope this also solves my USB issue that I'm having which only occurs when I have 3.1.0.1 flashed. I'm going to take omegasun18's advice and see if that will correct my issue.

well i would do it ......
Fresh rom + radio, the reboot, wimax, then reboot again, then kernel, that's waht i did and have everything working no 30fps cap, wi fi tether and all the stuff (remember about the camera issue)
*edit* remember something, you have to left the custom kernel to the end, because as i told you before the rom has its own kernel and will overwrite any other you installed previously
So leave the kernel to the end? Does that kernel you recommended remove the 30fps cap?
yep make sure if you do a kernal you do it AFTER the rom. the radios shouldnt matteer since msot roms dont acctually change the radios when flashed. but i normaly start with the rom and work my way up but otherwise you have it.

What rom? did you wipe?
Hi,
I have done some extensive reading.. but still remain confused.. All i want to do is be able to install a custom rom and a new radio if reqd. Warning: I am coming from WinMo.
So as I understand it correctly, my steps would be (in the order):
1. Perm root it using Visionary+ << is this like an HSPL?
2. Use Easy S-OFF tool << What does this do?
3. Download ROM manager from the market and install it completely << Is this the Rom Update Utility
What is clockwork recovery?
Is this all?
Another question, is my phone still bootable after 1st step? and then after the 2nd step?
Can I just flash another custom rom on top of a ROM?
I read somewhere about a Wipe tool.. is this like a task 29?
Does flashing a stock removes all the permroots and s-off or is this like an HSPL that stays no matter what one flashes?
Is there somewhere in this jungle of thread a step by step procedure to hack into the DHD to install custom roms..

Hi there.
I am new to android as well. You seam to have the basics
1- No this roots your device, so you can gain accsess to protected system files. Dont forget to temproot before permroot.
2 - There are two versions of this. ENG hboot and radio s-off. ENG Hboot is a engineering hboot that gives the ability to flash custom roms and see some system properties, this is removed by flashing a stock ruu. Radio s-off (security off) also allows the flashing of custom roms and is not removed by flashing stock ruu, this can be removed by re-running the tool.
3- Rom manager installs the clockwork mod for recovery, it is also able to flash and manage roms.
Your phone will be fine after step one and two.
My knowledge is limited, but i hope that helps.
Happy flashing
Many thanks man... so i guess Soff is a better tool, as I may want to flash a stock once in a while and that means with S-off i will still have the hack in place..
I will wait for some more ppl to give me some inputs
Merry Christmas & welcome to Android,
Coming from WinMo (HTC Kaiser) to Android (HTC Hero) many moons ago I had the same questions.
original_ganjaman has pretty much hit the nail on the head with his post.
1. Perm root it using Visionary+ << is this like an HSPL?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
By default & for users protection root access to the Android system is not enabled, Visionary+ enables this. No HSPL is more like S-OFF (from memory) HSPL allows users to flash custom/unsigned ROM's.
2. Use Easy S-OFF tool << What does this do?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The DHD employs a system of protection to protect the System Files & Recovery Partition from being overwritten. With this protection enabled a device is known as S-ON (Security On). To write to the system files & recovery partition we need S-OFF. The Easy S-OFF tool simply runs a set of commands to turn Security Off (S-OFF).
3. Download ROM manager from the market and install it completely << Is this the Rom Update Utility
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ROM Manager allows you to install Clockwork Mod Recovery, this is essential to flashing custom ROM's. Some users report that it doesn't work on first attempt, so you may need to flash recovery twice. Its very simple as its the first selection within ROM Manager. RUU's are standalone installers that can be installed simply by connecting your DHD to your computer (ensure all drivers are installed) and running the RUU.exe.
What is clockwork recovery?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Clockwork Recovery is the system used to install new ROMs. It also allows you to do other things such as backup & restore your DHD to the "Exact" state it was when you made the backup. Also partition your SD Card, Mount USB storage, Wipe your entire DHD, Battery stats & Cache. Some of these functions can be used from within ROM Manager. To navigate within Clockwork Recovery use the volume buttons to move up and down and the power button to press ok.
Another question, is my phone still bootable after 1st step? and then after the 2nd step?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Your DHD is bootable at every step. Nothing is removed from your DHD by following these steps. Simply permissions and settings are changed within the Android (root) & DHD (S-OFF) system.
Can I just flash another custom rom on top of a ROM?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can, but not unless its advised by the Dev who created the ROM. Different ROM's use different bases AOSP (Stock Android) or HTC Sense. Switching between these will certainly need a wipe.
I read somewhere about a Wipe tool.. is this like a task 29?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm unfamiliar with task 29? The Wipe Tool is a flashable tool, much like a ROM that will remove everything from your DHD prior to you flashing a ROM.
Does flashing a stock removes all the permroots and s-off or is this like an HSPL that stays no matter what one flashes?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flashing a Stock HTC RUU will overwrite everything that is covered here and return your DHD to stock. There is an exception to this, Radio S-OFF. You only need to do this to flash a new Radio. If you achieve Radio S-OFF then that remains even after running a RUU.
I am unable to link to guide's at the moment but I will add them later. Sorry if I am teaching you to suck eggs here!
If you need anymore answers feel free to ask.
Dude Andy... you are my santa... LOL.. in a very very very non gay way
So now I understand more.. and just to re-cap
Get the DHD.. play around a bit
1. Use visionary to Temp then permroot
2. S-off tool to be used
3. Download rom manager and install with clockwork recovery.
I will read a bit more about the wipe tool.. i think if you say that it removes everything.. like a factory reset or like every thing...? that means technically after a wipe my device would not be able to boot? How would i then install the custom rom?
And also as i understood.. if I flash a stock and with the S-off in step two already, i wouldnt need to worry about anything? and can go to flashing a custom rom easily.. or Radio S off and S off are two different things?
Anyway.. you guys have been much help..

Read everything you can, once you grasp the basics of Android you'll be flying in no time. You would only run/flash the Wipe Tool before flashing a custom ROM. You run/flash the Wipe Tool from within Clockwork Recovery, this is not wiped and will remain after flashing ROM's. It will be overwritten if you run a HTC RUU. You flash ROM's from within Clockwork Recovery. You only reboot once you have wiped and then flashed a new ROM.

Yes S-OFF & Radio S-OFF are different beast's, both are simple to attain but Radio S-ON is not restored after running a HTC RUU.

Thanks again mate!!!
For the wipe tool.. so the ROM is removed.. i was thinking correctly... will need to be in "bootloader" to flash the ROM... I think flashing a stock does pretty much the same..
for Radio S Off.. i guess i should only do this if i need to install a new radio...
Great... Thanks again.. and Merry Christmas to you as well
Hi once again.
You need to be in "Recovery" to wipe & flash a new ROM. Bootloader is used to flash files that cannot be flashed via Clockwork Recovery.
Running a Stock HTC RUU will automatically put your DHD into bootloader, no user input should normally be needed.
You are correct with the Radio S-OFF, there has been a new Radio released so you may want to update to that at some point. Do be careful though, The latest HTC RUU & OTA Update will prevent you from attaining root & S-OFF.
Great mate! Thanks.. I guess I will play around with my DHD in any case for a week or so before I do the rooting etc
I wonder where is the thank button that svetius was mentioning in the forum announcement.. would like to click one for you

I would recommended just using your DHD as it is for a week or so. You may get notifications of updates to your DHD, not Market updates.
Remember the latest HTC Update will prevent you from doing everything we have been discussing.
The thanks button it located under each post. I'm not a thanks hunter, I just like helping others.

FAQ
Notes
1. This FAQ is applicable mostly to LeeDroid ROMS. Some of the parts can be explored on other ROMs (Stock or Custom).
2. PLease read the forums linked to this FAQ for much detailed information.
3. This FAQ has been created by taking into the suggestions of many other members who are tirelessly helping each other on this thread and XDA. Credits where due are mentioned. I have merely put it all together. (Ofcourse with some input from my side )
4. Please PM me if you would like to add something to the FAQ.
5. This FAQ is in no specific order other than what came first as a problem to me and was then sorted by troubleshooting.
6. Flashing means installing a new ROM/Radio on to your DHD.
7. Stock ROM: is the official ROM from HTC.
8. About Kernels: Pls note that there no custom kernal for base ROM 1.72. So DONOT Install a custom Kernel.
9. Please note that this is the first version of the FAQ, a lot of things will be done - Open to suggestions!
So we Begin
Q: How do I flash this ROM?
A: To flash this ROM, you will first need to ROOT your DHD, then apply the Radio S-OFF, S-OFF
---Root> Radio S OFF> S OFF (This is the preferred order)
It is highly recommended that you root your device before upgrading from 1.32 base to 1.72 as currently there is no root available for the 1.72
Q: How do I install Clockwork Recovery?
A: The easiest way is to root your phone as above and download Rom Manager from the Market, which has an option to install C'Work Recovery
Q: I have problems in signal and wifi strength.
A: It is recommended that you flash radio 26.04.02.17_M2 to work the LeeDroid base 1.72 Roms effectively.
Q: How do I flash a radio?
A: Flashing Radio - Guide (Thanks to leith51)
Q. I am getting SuperUser error on the LeeDroid 1.3.
A: Please flash the 1.3a file over the 1.3 ROM. Donot Wipe. Or Flash the 1.3b or higher ROM (usual flash process)
Q: I want to run a software/hardware check on my DHD.
A: Dial *#*#3424#*#*
Q: I put the .apk on my SD card but how do I now Install?
A: You will need a file explorer, use Astro (in LeeDroid ROM) or download one from the Market. Using it, go to the location on the SD Card where you have put the .apk and click to install.
Q: I am unable to copy anything from the PC to the DHD.
A: Check that USB debugging is on. Settings> Applications> Development > now turn on Usb debugging.
Q: Can I format my SD card? How?
A: Yes, you can! Be sure to back up the app data folders, otehrwise you may experience some problems with some applications. Connect the phone to the PC in disk drive mode. From MY computer on your PC, locate the phone drive, and format.

Best ClockWork Rom Manager Version For Desire?
okay i used the latest original untouched once yesterday installed perfectly, however after doing a backup it crashed on htc start up loop. i opened recovery and re flashed my backup all worked okay but am now wondering what if something happens when installing a custom rom. what is the best version to use.
thanks
Easiest, and safest way to flash is via your recovery from boot (ClockworkMod/AmonRa etc). ROM Manager itself has seen many issues recently and many people advise to stay clear of it until it's totally stable.

ROM Manager is made by ClockworkMod devs. It's an application, a standalone app whereas ClockworkMod is a recovery and this is what you would use to flash the ROM. If you have ClockworkMod as your recovery you flash a new ROM using this procedure:
Do this first to backup your existing ROM in case anything goes wrong.
Then do this to flash your new recovery.
Hopefully everything should go okay.
EDIT: You can leave ROM Manager where it is, it won't affect anything you do in the above procedures and you may find that your new ROM doesn't package it anyway so you won't have it anyway.

I've got 4.2.0.2 but I can't comment because I've not used it yet but I know I successfully partitioned my SD to ext3 using the version you mention (only because I couldn't get gparted to work).
So I installed CWM recovery, and installed the rmk root setup zip. Before I installed it, I wiped the cache but not the Dalvik cache. When I rebooted, it hung on the white HTC screen. I went back into recovery and wiped dalvik cache, cache and even data and settings, then installed the zip again and it still hangs. can somebody help me? Honestly at this point I just want to be able to use my phone again.
Thanks in advance
Did you install the root zip that included the froyo stock kernel? I made the same mistake. Just have to adb a compatible 2.3 kernel into your sdcard and flash it.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160745
i'm pretty sure this is the zip i used. if thats what you're talking about, then how do I fix it?
You cant use that .zip because it uses the Froyo kernal which is incompatible. You have to push jcase's GB kernal to your sd card then flash that.
I'm sorry for the stupid question, and thank you so much for your help, but where can i find that? and what commands do I use to push the kernel to the phone?
Have no fear as long as you can get into CWM then you are still good.
How long does it hang, sometimes it takes a few minutes for that HTC screen to go away, especially if you wiped data. you might want to wait, a little bit.
You can always download a stock rom(jcase plainjane rom), get into CWM, and then mount your USB to be able to install from your computer, and then flash the new rom.
Did you make a backup before you flashed the update, you can always recover.

If you can get into CWM, look for Mounts/Storage and mount your USB so you can access your Phones SD card from your computer, then transfer the file from your computer to your phone.
or use adb if you are familiar with that.
you did get S-Off first right?
yes i have s-off, no i did not make a recovery (i wasnt aware i could do that before i rooted but i have come to terms with the fact that I lost a bunch of data).
okay, so i put the file on my sd card and... what? is it a zip file? where can i find it?
just so i understand, once I get this rooted kernel, i will be rooted and i will be able to install the cwm app and go from there?
and i don't necessarily want the stock rooted... i guess i could go from there but for right now could i download a 2.3 kernel with a different rom? are kernels bundled with roms or do i need to install them separately?
sorry, i'm a new user so i keep having to wait 5 minutes...
Kernels, can be rom specific or bundled but currently for the dinc2 there arent a lot so make sure it doesnt say it belongs to a specific rom otherwise it might not work.
Jcase has a stock kernel and rom he put up a while back for gingerbread.
They will be a .zip file and all you have to do is using recovery choose zip file and run it, since you already deleted everything.
When you install a rom, it will add su and busybox, and root your phone. You need your phone rooted to be able to do anything, after S-off.
if you have recovery installed then you have CWM and really what you want is Rom Manager to do backups.

tiamat kernel is an AOSP kernel. for CM7/MIUI/OM(F)GB
you'll get bootloops if you flash it on a sense rom.
so should i flash that, then flash something like MIUI? can i do that? and do i have to wipe data/cache/dalvik before the kernel AND before i install MIUI?

Just install like a new ROM. One such stock rooted Froyo can be found here:

The only different thing is that this will have to be flashed in Clockworkmod 2.x. (I guess you must know how to flash Radio's in CM7, so its not a big issue)
And yes, to OC, you will have to install a custom kernel like this one:

I also found that i have cwm backup from original rom that I can restore. Does this also restore previous radio or kernel or do I have to do it manually?
it will not touch the radio, but it will restore the stock kernel. (Or whichever kernel you had installed when you took that backup)

I got a problem. I want to get original Sense by restoring backup from CWM. Mine works, but has a pattern that i dont remember and a email wich i dont remember either. Does anyone happen to have a backup of a wildfire without password or could someone advice something else? I tried RUU but my win7 x64 is causing trouble, or the drivers.
Just flash the stock froyo ROM I listed in the first post I made in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977). If you don't know how to get Clockworkmod 2.5.0.x, then:
- Download this attachment, place on your SDCard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
- Flash the zip (update1.zip) using your existing Clockworkmod 5.0.2.0
- Device will reboot and will start Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7
- Perform Data Wipe and Choose Install Zip from SDCard, select the ROM Zip file, and let it install.

For the rooted ROM it says No Hboot | No Radio, what does that mean?

Just what is says. It does not include the Bootloader (HBoot), and it does not include the baseband (Radio). So, for these two components, what you are having on your device at this moment will remain. (ie - They will not be updated when you flash the ROM)

I Installed the Rom from recovery, but all I get is the HTC logo and the startup tone then it switches off and I get the same thing again. Help please!
Edit: It's working now but I cannot force move apps like I could do before. Why is that?

Because it is a Completely Stock HTC Factory ROM with no support for it.
