So i'm planning on Rooting my Desire (Bravo PVG1 SHIP -SON, HBoot 0.93 , Radio 5.11.05.27)
Any recommendations? i was thinking about CyanogenMod 7.
Other thing i would like to ask is Gold Card, do i really need to make it? I'm asking because i dont have second sdhc card.. im not sure if i have any brandings in my phone.
Thanks in advance.
Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post the software version - we'll go from there

Awesome! Right, before you do anything download this:

It's the RUU of the stock ROM so should you ever need to go back to stock you can.
As for what ROM to start with, a lot of people suggest LeeDroid as it's an easy introduction to a rooted ROM yet still has Sense. Not sure how up-to-date it is these days, mind
My first ROM and still using it, is LeeDroid and I havent even bothered to look at others, it works perfect, very fast and give you A2SD+.

LeeDroid is kinda outdated, why not try some GB(Gingerbread) Roms?
Depends if the person likes Sense. I do so having tried the (buggy) 2.3 ROMs available I'll be waiting for a Sense-based 2.3 ROM
Gingerbread roms are fine really. Working for me no problem.
I think there should be a dedicated thread about roms because this is prob the 100th thread on what rom should I choose or what ever this week. Seriously.
I just successfully rooted and installed my first custom Rom (LeeDrOiD 2.3d).
Much <3 for all the help!
Cheers.

Howdy!
I am currently pulling my hair out because I tried so many roms and I lost control over my HTC Desire. I am guessing I am currently on Android 2.1. I want to use a ROM that has no HTC Sense and is rooted. But all those roms are coming with so much annoying extra's I just don't want. And some of those roms tells me that some things are working and some not, that olso scares me.
When I click 'About my phone' I see the following information:
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Smallband version: 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2
Kernel: 2.6.29-0cb9f166 (htc-kernel - and18-2 #1)
Build number: 1.21.405.2 CL174215 release-keys
I hope somebody can point me in the direction I want because I am fairly new to the android phones,
Thanks!
i had kinda the same problem as you.tryed many different roms and now i'm happy with opendesire + launcher pro instead of adw launcher.
I think LeeDrOiD Mod might be good for you. Froyo with sense and not much extras. Just need to format and make ext partition to your sd card and you are good to go.
Edit: SPEED READ IS BAD... sorry. I thought u was looking for sense rom. .. lol
Edit 2: LeeDrOiD is still good point to start. I dont run sense either but adw, but i still like to use htc calendar etc.

Thanks guys. I decided to use the HTC default rom and rooted. I'll try from here out to tweak and remove some stock applications.
Hi,
Preferably, I'm looking for a HTC Desire HD ROM or something that has the new HTC Sense on it with APP2SD functionality, It must be Clean Stock (meaning no customization) and must be Stable to use with no or little lag. The Android version should be 2.2 or above and OTA update be operational (not required).
I have stumbled upon some ROMS, that match my specifications, however I want to know your experience with it. Common Bugs, how is it for everyday use? blah blah etc...
- RCMixHD v0.15 1
- DHD Rom Port by baadnwz v1.7c
- ۵.AuraxTSense v8.2 HTC Sense 2.2
- ۵.ReflexTSenseHD v1.5.1 DHD port
- RCS Touch v06
I want to be able to flash a new rom without any fuss, but I do not believe this likely to happen.
Here are my device specs:
Code:
BRAVO PV1 SHIP-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-01d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
-Android 2.2
-T-MOBILE UK - Branded
-Not-Rooted
-4GB Micro SD Card (GoldCard)
Before any tells me to do my research and check the entire forums and says it all depends on your desire, well the whole point of the thread is to give me guidance on what to do next and then summarize your points and experience.
If any more information is require, please tell me so.
Thank you.
Little Bump. No one?
Root
Flash Baadnewz 1.7c
EOD
root read , read again , check the threads of the roms u want to try , download rom , instal and if you like keep it if not repeat from (Check)
regards
baadnewz has to be the quickest most lag free hd rom
Forget hd if you want zero lag just stick to standard Sense or aosp gingerbread.
I've tried Alex V HD which is very good but not zero lag and heard lots of good news about baadnewz.

its got a memory leak and is sluggish after time
First of all - root it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044).
Second - S-Off (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805811).
Need help? Search xda and google, google, google!
Then - READ ALOT about the different roms, apps/data2sd, recovery images etc etc and choose the one you like most. Search for youtube videos of the roms you like.
Pay attention - some roms work only with specific radio versions. Most roms require (or at least suggest) performing a full phone wipe (including davlik cache), so don't forget to backup EVERYTHING before you start (including contacts, sms, mms). AND NEVER EVER REBOOT / DISCONNECT CABLE WHEN FLASHING!

I was leaning towards this rom, good job you told me this.
Also, please guys, although I appreciate your guidance I am not new to flashing etc and do not want instructions on 'how to root, flash, S-OFF and S-ON'. If you read my question, all I want is your opinions/views on what ROM is good enough to meet my specifications as well as your experiences. I do not want to keep flashing my phone, that's another reason why this thread was created. And Please no 'SEARCH GOOGLE, XDA FORUMS', and choose what you like. I will research the ROM that I have narrowed down, helped suggested by you guys and then Check if it's good to go. I know some of you will find me arrogant, which is not the case.
Keep your suggestions coming in...
Thank you.
youve picked the roms you want to try , why dont you try them and find out for yourself.
and no i dont find you arrogant more lazy
I'd recommend Baadnwz. I found it to be one of the quickest!

Most of you guys are suggesting 'badnewz', tell me your experiences with it.
...Or shall I just flash a unbranded Stock ROM and Root and Partition the SD?
Thanks
EDIT: What do you guys think of this ROM 'Ginger Villain 0.8?
I was using gingervillian 0.8 for awhile and found it to be very good, however as only the nexus s is running gingerbread officially, I found there are some apps that I need that won't work.

Now I'm thinking of flashing to the standard HTC Stock ROM and ROOT+APP2SD...
I'd recommend teppic's stock ROM + updates. Why ? Because the author updates it regularely and has offered lots of optional addons, meaning the ROM is not a "try to please all so im stuffed with all imaginable crap" one.
hey all i wonder if someone can help me its been a very long time since i rooted my desire and now want to upgrade to a new rom as phone is acting a bit funny.
I currently have android version 2.2 i think it is a stock rom.
baseband version 32.43.00.32u_5.09.00.20
kernel version 2.6.32.15-gf9c0527 htc-kernel(at)and18-2 #1
build number 2.09.405.8
software number 2.09.405.8
browser version webkit 3.1
hboot-092.0001
can any one point me in the right direction how i go about getting the right newest rom and what to do ?
Many thanks in advance
Slightly confused r u saying you have an unrooted phone u want to root?

sorry i ment i have a rooted phone ill edit original post to reflect that
It really depends on what your after, do you want a stock Rom that's updated or a custom
This would be my first destination

Read requirements for the Rom u want some require new radio, ext partitions or s-off to work

thanks alot for the reply i think id rather stick with a stock rom thats updated ill check the link out thank u very much
No worries stock roms are at the very bottom

I dunno what you really mean with newest ROM.
Newest rooted stock ROMs don't give your phone much benefits as well as probable additional bugs.
Custom ROMs have more speed, less bloatware, more memory space, additional functionalities, etc. some even with newer android version.
1. I would find a stable custom ROM (not the experimental ones) so that you can have something more for your phone without the probable bugs.
2. The term bugs, it is relative, perhaps you won't be experiencing it like some people do with the respective ROM.
Hey guys,
I was unable to find a well explained, and simple, answer to my question anywhere: how do I restore a GSM Desire (Telus) to stock 2.1 from latest DevNull 1.0.3 ROM? Having flashed a few custom ROM's, and deciding I like the stock Sense UI best, I was hoping someone could explain, in noob terminology, how to perform this procedure. Any help would be greatly appreciated and a donation considered for quick resolution. Thanks in advance.
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel version 2.6.35.13-stable
Build number GRJ22
Have a look through the Desire Index an there is a bit called RUU. You can just run that.
You can also go through the rom list and pick a rom that is based on HTC Sense since you prefer that. You would still have the stock rom.... so to speak.
Swyped...
Hello all,
I like many others, I have installed the new GB ROM from the RUU supplied by HTC and it is "OK". However, i would like something else.
I have seen many guide to install ROMS and it seems more or less clear.
My problem, and maybe the problem for other noobs if the fact that there are so many ROMs out there. It is difficult to know which one to take.
For example, I am looking for plain old stock android 2.3 for the desire. No sense, no extra HTC apps. Just what google would have on the nexus 1. But, I cant figure out which ROM fits that.
Any ideas?
What would be great is sticky which lists the ROMs and their main features for all us noobs. Unless there is one already and I didnt see it
Get Oxygen Rom mate its nice and basic , if u want to go too basic get DevNull
But for starters i think u shud go with oxygen
Pm me if u want to discuss any other details

Well, if you installed official Gingerbread 3.14.405.1 RUU, you can't get root (yet). No root means that you can't install custom rom.

watch the video tutorial too - but it sounds like you want an AOSP rom
Yup, you definitely wanna try Oxygen + it was recently updated to Android 2.3.5.
It's sense free, all bloatware removed, very fast & minimalistic.
http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=149 (it wasn't updated on XDA yet, but you can download it from there)
CyanogenMod7 will also fit you.
Should have read into what you were doing before you updated. You can't root now, which means no custom ROMs for you. HTC updated HBOOT so no more rooting for the time being. You're stuck with it till someone cracks it. Unlucky dude.
My recommendation:
Sense (2.1+3.0) : InsertCoin 1.0.9
AOSP: Oxygen
no MIUI from me...sorry..
Thanks for all the replies. I am pretty sure it is only a matter of days or weeks at most until I can root. I recall the same situation last update.
It sounds like oxygen is the way to go. Once the root is available I will give it a shot. Thanks.
