Hi all,
I'm new to this forum but I've been reading it a lot lately
I have a few questions about rooting my Defy and installing custom roms.
I have read a lot of info, but I'm lost as where to start with all this.
I have: a german Defy bought from amazon.de with Blur_Version.2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.DE and I would like to install S.Froyo PL rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952668 ).
The basic idea I have now is to:
1 root my device
2 install CwM
3 put rom on my SD and install it using CwM
Is this correct or do I need to wipe anything? Or do I have to install other firmware first or...?
Please help this newbie

Hi everyone,
I recently installed the LeeDrOiD_V1.6 ROM with the new radio 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08.
I would like to come back to my original configuration to save more battery except if you have some tips to give me.
What's the ROM I have to install please ? Knowing I'm in France on SFR network.
Thanks for your help.
Moved to Q&A as not development.
Without knowing the ROM the Desire came with there's not a lot of help available...hopefully someone on the stock ROM can advise
Hello,
I recently get a HTC Desire, so I am a newbie with android environment.
my configuration is :
- OpenDesire 4.0.32 ROM
- 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 Radio ROM
When i try to install BlackBar Mod with OD updater, after the reboot, all applications crash and the phone is loop-booting.
I tried to wipe everything, without any success.
thanks in advance for your help.

Please do not make new threads in development to ask questions.
I update to OpenDesire 4.0.34 ROM and it corrects the problem.
Hi there!
I am all new to the android world and a proud owner of a HTC Desire.
I have a branded (vodafone) version with bootloader 0.93.0001, SLCD and android 2.2 with all Updates installed.
I would like to unbrand, root and install the MIUI Rom on my Desire.
I read through guides and stuff and they unsettled me.
There often are hints which say things like: not with new HTC OTA, bootloader xx, SLCD Screen and so on.
So... above I already stated what I would like to do with my Desire.
First of all is it possible? ^^
Seconded, would someone tell me what guides (and pls in what order!!) I have to follow?
I would be very thankful in advance.
Have a nice christmas everyone.
regards

Before rooting, it's a good idea to save the stock ROM you are running right now, so in case of emergency, you can revert to it and send it to the repair service.
From what you say, I assume you are running 2.33.161.2 Vodafone rom, here is the RUU.exe for that version.
You cannot unbrand your phone, but can get rid of the vodafone adware (debrand) by installing a WWE ROM or a MIUI custom rom, as you said you would like.
To install a custom rom you'll have too use unrevoked in order to get root (SU) and a custom recovery, from the latter you can flash custom ROMs.
The most newbie friendly guide in my view is turkey's one.
You must not forget that we, also wish you a Merry Christmass.
Hi again!
Thanks for that Link, it is really helpful.
I have just one Question left:
Won't I need a goldcard?
Because in this guide there is nothing said about a goldcard, but in other tutorials I read that it is needed it to flash, root etc.
So according to the tut you posted above, I guess I dont need a goldcard, right?
regards
You will need a gold card to flash an official WWE ROM, but you do not need a goldcard to flash the RUU I have linked or the MIUI (because it's a custom, not an official rom by a carrier or htc).
Unrevoked doesn't require a goldcard neither.
Thanks again for your help.
I managed to successfully install the gMIUI ROM I found in this Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885844
But now my light sensor doesn't work! As well as torchlight.
How can I fix this?
+ I think that ROM is really unstable it already rebooted itself 2 times?
Sometimes it just reboots when starting an application?
EDIT: this really sucks. is MIUI really that bad?
Is MIUI in general rather unstable? Or did I do simething wrong/is there a more stable version of it?
(BTW: I choose Pays gMIUI because I wanted to have german language)
regards
Haven't tried Pay's MIUI, but the english version is solid.
You can download it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9932492&postcount=4070
And then download a german language pack from here http://forums.miui-dev.com/showthre...UI-0.12.18-%28N1-Desire%29-Pack-3-verf%FCgbar
Can't tell you info or instructions on that because it's in ... german .

Hi
Before any flashing I strongly suggest asking questions in proper section.
Thx
Hi,
I am using unrooted Neo l working on ics.
I want to install MULTIBOOT XPERIA NXT R2 ROM on my neo l.
Please someone tell me all the steps to do the same.
Thanx in advance
Sorry by mistake post in wrong form.
but help please if someone can
Like you realised, you're in the wrong forum, but you can still repost your question in the right place
Please do some searching before you do anything. I've read a few of your posts and you don't seem to like to use Google to find things by yourself.
For that phone, think you'll need to unlock bootloader (you've asked about how to do it before), install a custom recovery, make a nandroid backup, then full wipe and flash the ROM. These are standard steps widely available
Instructions will also be in that particular ROM thread.
But like I said, please do some searching for guides as they are all there. The more you read, the more you learn, less chance of things going wrong again Best of luck.
