[Q] desire hd flash rom help - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

guys hello,
i am new at the android "scene"
andd i need some help. a lot of people report that oxygen v2 rc5 is a lot
faster-smoother than htc sense. now from what i read it's based on gingerbread
right? and if so if i flash my DHD will i be able to root? and if yes could you provide
a noob's guide to flash my DHD?
thanx in advance.

Oxygen, isn't that for the standard desire? CM6.1.3 is fast and android stock. Isn't gingerbread yet though.

ok so do you have any other rom to suggest.
i am looking for one that isn't lacking any features,
is stable and has a smoother scrolling look on like an
iphone.
ps: no i don't want an iphone i just want my brother
who has one to stop using the only advantage of his phone
over mine to annoy me.

Just backup your existing Rom and start flashing Rom's. LeeDroid is popular, I run CM6.1.3 which I think is very good. Have a play and see what you like. Enjoy.

one last thing --> how do you flash a new rom???????

Read the sticky threads on the developers thread. You really need to understand what your doing before going any further.

ok so i got everything figured out. it's not as difficult as i thought
but there's a small problem. i install clockworkmod recovery from rom manager
but when i get into recovery i see the phone with the triangle. then i press
volume+ and power and the menu appears but it only has the 4 basics
no nandroid. what do i do?

Sounds like you don't have s-off. If you don't have s-off your recovery will be restored to the factory version when you reboot.
Go to the development section and grab the "one click radio s-off" tool. It will take care of the problem for you.

ok gonna try that thanx.

read and do this first
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076
then choose any rom from the development section .. place the downloaded file on your sd card .. reboot into recovery choose install zip from sd card .. navigate to your downloaded file and install
I would recommend Android Revolution HD or Leedroid if you are looking for something very stable ..

ok guys thanx for your help but idecided not
to flash because i did some tricks and now my phone running fine.
1)uninstalled task manager (i am on froyo and you know the rest. haha)
2)uninstalled setcpu (i read somewhere that it may cause problems when running even if not profiles or any sort of overclock are active. that was the case with me, although i will miss the 245mhz screen-off profile.)
3)reduced my widgets and pages from 9 to 3 and 6 to 2 respectively
4)changed some options in launcher pro
these resulted in no more fc's and a lot smoother scrolling in menu, sms, homescreens etc.
despite the fact that when i scroll slowly between homescreens it's a bit laggy.
overall great.
thx again guys. if nothing else, i learnt a lot.

[Q] Problem with Rom: RevolutioN 1.7

OK, so I am not new to the xda desire scene,
(Despite the fact that I can't post in the rom development thread regarding this issue)
I have tried installing this Rom in as many different ways as I can over the past 3 hours:
Using EXT3 rather that EXT4
Changing Hboots
Making sure that I have got the correct download (a2sd+/D++)
Wiping a billion times over
etc etc.
HOWEVER no matter what I do I cannot get this Rom to function
When I boot up for the first time, I just get a wallpaper and notification bar.
No touch screen response/button response.
Only the power button works as a method of turning the screen on/off
I assume from experience at this point in first boot HTC's setup program
(or whatever it is) should start and guide me through
linking up accounts/inputting Wifi keys etc.
I have scoured the rom thread and others regarding rom problems and nobody seems to have had this problem of the Setup manager not starting.
As nice as the Gingerbread Screen On/Off animation is I would prefer to do abit more with my phone
I hope I have posted in the right section and I would very much appreciate it if anyone who has had this experience could help me fix this problem and get a working phone...
(ps. The Rom looks very good, if only I could get it working)
First of all try to redownload the rom!!!
And double check the md5

Hey Thanks guys, but..... I re-downloaded the ROM both versions 1.5 and 1.7 (since 1.5 is thought to be more stable) :/ and get stuck at exactly the same place :SSS I'm am abit baffled since I change Rom's alot and have never experienced this before
Did you wipe dalvik? btw your sd card partion need to be at least 1 gigabyte. It worked for me i had same issue as you. First post on XDA
My first installation of 1.7 didnt work and I had to pull the battery and I thought the same thing was happening with my second try, as the screen just went blank after all the crazy changing shapes that happen during boot. However once I touched the power button the setup menu appeared.
I thought this was strange as every other ROM I have tried went straight from the boot animation to the phone starting without the screen blanking out. I know this doesn't help solve your problem but it might mean something to somebody else, who can then help you further.
ps I have been running the ROM for the past week and I haven't had a screen freeze yet. Which has been a revelation for me, as every other ROM ive tried has been really bad for this.

well try to reflash rom or something. ... or restore a nandroid backup ... if you made it ..
i guess what you did is moved the app or something that was used at that time... lets say launcher, or theme for it or something like that ...
Thanks for replying but unfortunately i did not make a backup and to make it worse, it was my only stock usa Tmoible rom. I found a custom rom "JikantaruROM_v1.1_Wildfire_S" rom however i am finding issues with it such as NO ROTATION what so ever. Plus i don't like some of the effects.
IF you can give me a link to a stock usa tmobile rom i would very much appreciate it. I have been looking but to no avail.
im afraid that i do not have it either... maybe some of the mates from tmous can make nand and send it to you so you can restore it ;-)

Here you go mate stock tmobile usa: http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...35.3032_7.48.36.17M_release_202047_signed.exe
Thanks for the link but i got error 155. THis is very frustrating and i just want my stock rom back. Custom roms are buggy. I currentyl have no "rotation"/"tilt" function on this rom -__-.
No offence but what you just said was basically the same as: "Hey guys, I deleted everything"
Just flash a new ROM

Excuse me but no its not. If you read almost any question posted on this website with people who post simple information less questions like you just quoted, the first reply is always for more information.
You would think that "experienced" people on this forum would know this already

Ummm... If you say so.
What I am trying to say is that if the system looks for internal apps and they are on the SD then it will spaz up and not find them. Therforth they are not there. As if they were deleted.
Please think before posting.

Well that was kind of self explanatory but if it makes you feel better. Why i posted this was to see if someone had a simple fix for it instead of making me using a custom rom. I had no problem with that rom so i wanted it back. Flashing a new rom would obviously fix it.
Download your version of RUU, run it, find rom.zip in >windows< temp folder. Unpack files system.img and boot.img to the folder with fastboot.exe.
Enter hboot->fastboot and execute:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img

[Q] Disable trackball unlock - rsk sense 3.5 rom

Hi guys,
I'm using the 'RSK team sense 3.5 with amaze cam' rom on my desire and was hoping to disable the trackball unlock feature. It keeps unlocking in my pocket and it's really frustrating. I've seen a few fixes around: one that fixes stock and one that fixes cm7 and was wondering whether these can safely be applied, or whether I need a specific fix for this rom OR, alternatively, whether there is a menu option hidden in the rom somewhere I'm just not seeing.
The fix I found for stock and cm7 is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14453689&postcount=10687
Thanks for your help!
I think that the option for T2U is in RC mix tweaks option.

There's an option in the aroma installer, but it doesn't appear to work. And although there's an option in the tweaks 3D settings for volume-key wake, there doesn't appear to be one for trackball :S
yh the option is in aroma setup like said above. u could look in the attachments of the rom thread coz theres sometimes zip files u can flash in recovery to disable/enable trackball wake etc etc

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I'm also using the latest RSK rom and the trackball unlock is really bothering me and there doesn't seem like a way to turn it off.

Like i said above, the answer and zip file is there. Go to desire android development, go down to RSK rom and at the end of the rom title there is a wee paper clip (thats the attachments) click it, zip file there + other usefull sh*t.

Hmm... Ok. U could try look in other sense 3.5 roms for the correct 1. This is probably not recommended but i used to do it all the time with sense 3.5 roms and never had a problem. Just nandroid first before flashing anything

[Q] No response from Clockwork Recovery

Hello,
Yesterday i tried rooting my phone for the first time, following the Cyaogenmod wiki for Desire Z. And everything worked without any problems, until
i arrive at the Clockwork Recovery mode step. I get no response when i try to select an option, all I get is a picture of the Clockwork logo, and nothing happens.
I have been googling for a solution, but seems like it is a quite rare(?) problem, and since im pretty new in this rooting business im not sure of what to try.
I have however sucessfully "installed" the Andromadus Mimicry ROM using the Rom Manager app.
But since i have to flash Gapps to be able to use market, im still stuck because of the need for Clockwork to work.
Does anybody have any idea of what i can try to do to fix this?
P.S. pardon the english, not my native tongue
Best Regards
Are you using the power button or the trackball to select in clockwork?
Also consider updating to a touch based recovery, 4ext is amazing but at least go fo clockwork touch

Wow...is this for real..?
I've been using the power button all this time, so i tried using the trackball like u suggested and it works!
Feel like such a moron...
Thanks for the help(and the fast reply)!
No problem, it happens to many so don't worry about it
I do still suggest an upgrade though, life will become much better, here's how

[Q] Help needed for installing custom ROM

Hello.
I am not a developer however I would like to have my HTC DESIRE HD working on this particular ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255319. . The download links are all outdated or broken. Is there a chance that someone already have this ROM and could make me a tutorial on how to instal and how to make everything running properly to install this ROM? My device is already S-OFF, I tried to root my device several times by tutorials but it didn't work, only S-OFF did.
Best regards and thank you for help.
This rom is built quite long time ago. I used it before as a daily driver but after some time, random reboot starts to happen. At some point i can say that the device have chances to reboot everytime u wake the device up. At least thats my experience with that rom. Not sure about others.
