I have searched enough and only method comes up to check hboot is apparently holding down volume down button and switching HDH on.
I've tried it on my orange branded desire HD but it just shown a flashy wall paper and then orange logo appears.
My software version is 1.40.61.2 and all I want to do it get rid of orange crap from it and use a generic htc software.
Could someone please help me in simple words?
How to check HBoot and what should I do to install generic software?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Download Elixir from market, that shows bootloader version.

The reason why you didn't get to bootloader menu was because fastboot was enabled. Next time, take out your battery, replace it, then try and go into bootloader. It should work.
To flash a generic HTC ROM you will need to get root, Radio S-OFF and of course the actual Generic HTC ROM file.
Follow the instructions from this thread to Root + Radio S-OFF your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
Once complete, and you have S-OFF enabled in bootloader you can proceed to flash the generic HTC ROM. The link below contains the HTC WWE 1.32.405.6 RUU:
http://www.xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/R....140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe
Once you flash the above HTC RUU, you will lose root but you will still have Radio S-OFF which means you can still flash any ROM you like.
You can also flash a custom ROM instead of the generic HTC RUU after you have Radio S-OFF

Got it sorted with S-OFF thingie.......thanks for helping me.
Just a few more questions as you seem like quite knowledgeable.
1) I am downloading generic file, would that complete wipe my phone and settings?
2) Would I be able to upgrade OTA if a future release comes from HTC?
3) Loosing root means I wont be able to use those applications which require root access....even with VISIONary?
4) How do I flash the rom? Do I need a goldcard for that? As mine is a branded orange handset.
Thanks a lot.

1) Yes, it is a generic HTC unbranded ROM. It will wipe your settings, as will any ROM you flash.
2) I think so, as long as you stick with the official generic HTC roms. If not, you can download the OTA update from here and apply it manually via ClockworkMod Recovery, which is safer as it will stop it overwriting the HBOOT and Custom Recovery (which is what the last update did)
3) Losing root access means you can't use applications that require root access. However, Visonary is used to get root from being in a state of no-root. Once you run Visonary, it will do its exploit and make the system root for you. This doesn't work on 1.72/1.75 ROMs, however the ROM link I have given you is a rootable ROM.
4) With S-OFF, you do not need a Goldcard. For the Official ROMs (like the link I gave you) follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890
For custom ROMs, you will need to install ClockworkMod recovery and from there flash the ROMs. To get ClockworkMod recovery, first make sure your current ROM is rooted, then download 'ROM Manager' from the Android Market, then run the application and tap 'Flash ClockworkMod recovery'. To boot into clockworkmod recovery, take out the battery, replace it, go into bootloader, then choose 'Recovery'.
Also thought you would like to know how to get back to stock Orange UK ROM for warranty reasons.
1) Do Radio S-ON and restore your CID (using the same tool you used to get Radio S-OFF)
2) Download this Orange UK 1.40.61.2 ROM: http://www.xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/R....140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_157531_signed.exe
3) Install that ROM using the method described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890
Great...you are a God send mate. I have searched so much and now finally I can flash my HDH.

Hey, no problem
If you have Radio S-OFF, it will stay Radio S-OFF unless you manually turn it to Radio S-ON using the program.
Flashing anything will not affect it. So you are good to flash the HTC ROM
Just to let other guys know.....I have followed the steps as prank1 has suggested and now I have a stock HTC rom without any of the orange crap on it. All orange logos, icons and softwares have disappeared.
I have unlocked phone with S-OFF and I am sure now I can flash with custom roms as well which would be my next try.
Thanks once again.
HELP! i think i've bricked my phone. lemme first tell you guys what i've gone and done.
have a orange branded desire hd which i temp rooted with visionary. then i used titanium backup to force stop the preloaded apps which were slowing up my phone. i think i made a mistake and might have first deleted one of the pre installed apps...
neways.. got a notification for a sytem update and accidently installed it...
when the phone rebooted and was installed the update it stopped and now all i have is an image of the phone on the screen with a red triangle. it's been 10 minutes and it's not doing nething.
what have i done... and how do i undo it
PLEASE HELP
I did exactly the same thing and now it wont update, I reported it to HTC but theyve advised me that its 'with the developer' which to be honest suggests that I will never get a reply beyond the ticket number they gave me. Cant believe moving bloody Uno of my phone would cause such a hassle

I recently purchased my desire hd and few days ago I installed the latest version of clockworkmod recovery did my jailbreak tried cynogenmod 7 restored original firmware and now I can't update it clockworkmod shows me status 7 when trying my update plz help me
Hmmm... I think this may be to little information for anyone with the knowledge to help you. First of all you don't jailbrake a DHD, but I guess you are talking about rooting? Did you use Visionary to gain temp rooot, and permanent root? Have you gained s-off or eng s-off.
Did you sucsefully mange to install the cynogenmod 7 rom and got it working?
Read the post in developer section about rooting, s-off, eng s-off and flashing a radio and I guess you will be a step closer to understand how this process works.
Do you have your phone up an running now with cynogenmod or stock rom?
just answer the question asked above only then we will be able to help u.. did u install cynogenmod7 and then went back to orignal stock rom? and now u cant install a custom rom through clockworkmod recovery.. if this is so then my friend... once u radio s-off and eng s-off and root access u can do anything but if u flash an official ruu rom again.. u lose everything (root access, eng s-off, radio s-off).. now u have to do it all over again.. 1st downgrading then eng s-off then radio s-off
Hi there,
After unlocking my Desire HD with the official HTCdev bootloader unlock service I installed Clockwork 5.0.2.7111102. From here I installed SuperUser 2.3.6.3 and it seems I have root access.
Both through ROM Manager as manual through ClockWork I have tried to install several custom ROMs. I did wipe the user data beforehand etc. But after reboot every time it keeps hanging at the white HTC screen.
I havent made backup of previous version. My phone is stuck completly. I can do nothing but only new rom..
Can someone please help me with this issue? Many thanks!
Additional info:
S-On
HBoot 2.00.0029
Radio 26.14.04.28.M
Android 2.3.5
HTC sence 3.0
Software 3.12.405.1
Kernel 2.6.35.10-9931a37e
When you unlock using the HTC dev method you have to flash the boot.img separately.
Take the boot.img of whatever rom you want and flash it by running
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
For future reference the correct method is
1)flash rom in recovery
2)boot back into hboot and flash roms boot.img
4ext recovery has a new option of flashing boot.img when son all in the same step.(make it similar process to soff devices

You need to switch to S-OFF in order for flashing to be successful. Use this then once you boot into Hboot and see S-off, then you can try to flash the rom...
Hi there,
did some searching and red a lot about going from a rooted s-off device to completely stock (s-on, unrooted, ruu). But i want to know if it is possible to go from: s-off, rooted, custom rom to: s-on; unrooted; custom rom ?
Why? you ask. Because i use my old Desire for work (bring your own device (BYOD)). And byod uses MobileIron which detects s-off and root. Company policy is no rooted etc. phones allowed. So i thought, i can s-on en unroot but with a much better Mildwild GB rom.
Is it as easy as to flash the rom.zip and unroot ? or is there more ?
Why would you ever want to do that?

edited fist post. Because of company policy.
To remove s-off you would need to flash an ruu. Then you would have to unlock the phone via HTC dev in order to flash a custom recovery. After that you could flash whatever rom you want through the recovery, however most roms (including milwilds) come rooted. You could try removing the supersu/superuser apk as well as the su binary located inside of the rom zip, which may work, but it also may cause other issues.
Hi, i need a little help here. I have an M8x unlocked, S-ON, and i want to go back to stock recovery to do OTA (4.24.709.3). CID no. HTC__621, running Lollipop 5.0.2 (software version 4.24.709.2). I don't know which stock recovery i must use, i read a lot of threaths that claims bootloop for using the wrong recovery, obviously i don't want that. my phone is rooted and use TWRP custom recovery. See everywhere i read i have to use the stock recovery with the same number of the software version, it's that true?, (In this threth are all the stock recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860) if not, which one i must use? in this video explain how to do the process to gain OTA been root user: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPPT5J8xG6w&index=14&list=PLHTorDR_h9wzlSNE_Ewoy6LpjXrTiEo3F
the only thing i need to know is which recovery use!!! Please HELP!!! (Apologize my bad english)
