1-does i to have something like hspl to this device so i can update any rom
2-can some one tell me the step by step to install rom in shorcut
3-Lot of Thanks
Syrian
any idea here ?
1. It is called S-OFF, check the Radio S-OFF tool in my signature. Then Android devices require custom recovery to load ROMs, my thread has instructions on how to get that. You can also read the complete guide to flashing, it is a sticky in DHD android dev subforum.
2. Read the sticky, or my tool's first post.

This Should Be Made A Sticky Or At Least Added To The Sticky That Points To The Helpful Threads.

Great guide. this should help the noobs.
Thanks for your work on these.
MrVanX,
This is nice. Though I do not need it anymore, since I had to read the wiki and all the posts to get to where I am now, I am sure it will help reduce some of the noob questions.
I do not regret doing what I had to do, since I learned a lot during the process.
But thanks for taking the time to make this.
Thank you for the guide, I really do appreciate it.
One question though after doing a search and checking the wiki.
I checked my bootloader and it is 1.10 Oli.
I was going to load the HardSPL v3 prior to upgraded to the 1.38 radio.
One of the choices of bootloader is NOT 1.10 Oli...does this mean I do not need to do the HardSPL? Or do I still need it?
Thanks in advance...and if I missed the thread I'm prepared to smack myself across the face 20 times in restitution.

You will notice in "how to upgrade HardSPL v3" the guide says "if your version is 1.10.oli or 1.11.oli select the BLUE OPTION". When you run the HardSPL v3 installer you select the force sspl option. OK?? (i changed the wording of the guide)
Excellent guides...I've updated my sig with new URLs..
U Da Man!

What a great guide - would have saved me endless trouble when I started upgrading (including my brick - repaired courtesy of Vodafone ) - but then again I've also learned loads the harder way.
Can you just write a guide on Un-Bricking, Cooking Roms, Installing apps, Creating Cabs, Searching, Reading the Wiki etc, etc (Hmmm, now there's a project)
Only kidding, but maybe if we can link this guide and the Unbricking thread to be the first thing a new member sees when they sign up as a member to the forums we may see less 'help I'm a ****wit' threads
Excellent guide!
Just wondering, will you be creating a "downgrade guide" for those who wish to revert everything back to their original state (OS ROM, Radio ROM & bootloader) for warranty purposes?
Thanks!

Yes, pls create a "downgrade guide" for us newbie in case we need to send in our device that is under warranty.
SPL Link broken?
Hi, it might just be my system but the SPL download link appears to be broken
Martyn
Link fixed, thanks for the heads-up!
Sorry Radio link seems broken too.
Hi, sorry to be a pain but I'm following your advise and going through the guide step by step and can't download the radio.
BTW: The SPL worked a treat, I'm planning on trying the LVMS flavour.
The links for the Radio are all working fine, are you using Winrar?? You need it for opening the radio package.

V4 and not v3
Hi
I'm quite a noob, so I apologize if i ask for something already mentionned.
I'm on SPL1.09 after install of LVSW 03/20.
I want to install HardSPL v4.
- This means only the bootloader files of the rom will be modified. Am I right ?
I need to check the yellow line.
But do I need to check "Is it hardSPL" ? What is this for ?
Then, as I understand, if i install a new ROM with radio, it'll modify the SPL again ?
Thanx

Hi, I have an Orange HTC Hero straight out of the box which I want to put MoDaCo 3.0 on. I am running through the helpful How-To guide but am stuck at the very beginning. Basically I need to know whether I have to downgrade the Hero so it can be rooted.
Here is what I posted on MoDaCo forums. I am sorry to repeat post but I don't want to break anything LOL
"Hi I just got my Hero out of its box ready to put MoDaCo 3.0 on it following the How-To guide.
The first part of the guide says "If you have Firmware 2.73.x.x. OR HIGHER, you MUST DOWNGRADE FIRST (this typically applies to Orange handsets)
To check your firmware, do the following :
Start Settings
Click About Phone
Check the Kernel Version"
My Kernel Version is apparently 2.6.27-a5504199
My build version is 1.76.61.3 146733 CL#46012 release-keys
Software version is 1.0.0.A6288
Based on this do I need to downgrade in order to root?"
Thanks guys
Hi byakkotai, i did not downgrade my htc hero but able to root/backup/flash crom. i fail to make my goldcard , maybe my sd card cannot make goldcard.
so i juz try rooting & was able to & i go to recovery img & backup my hero & flash modaco crom.
Its the build version you have to look at.
I did do a HTC update to the new build 2.73.xx.x and then I got really stuck, so I think you 1.76 looks good, you can double check if there is any problems around that build, but I don't think so.
If you'r not sure about the build no. Look here @ downgrade guide from theunlockers.com.
If you want a way so simple you can't do wrong follow the one click root guide from theunlockr.com.

I have tried to get the basics rt but it became an info overload. I know i would require HARDSpl to flash to a cooked rom. ...but am not sure how to install hard spl and then go abt flashing my phone...
would really appreciate if someone can give it out in steps or provide links stepwise on how to do it.
thanx in advance
they are all already there just read the sticky threads in this forum for more information, along with hspl you should get your phone security unlocked and update a radio rom so that the switch to a custom rom is very smooth. I'm in India and I have flashed most of the roms here without any issues.
Try this TUT by Badwolve - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=608668
It gives a good indepth yet clear instruction set to flash your ROM from ground up.
Hi, I am new here and i need some help.
I want to install new rom with sense 3.0 on my htc desire hd, but I don't know how.
software information: Android version 2.3.3
Sense version 2.1
Software number 2.50.111.5
Hi
As I know there is not an Offical Update to Sense 3 for DHD
you'll need to root you device and flash a costum ROM.
for that you'll need to get to the Development Section - I've posted link of the FAQ section and there you'll need to read a-l-o-t before you'll take any action with your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936214
Enjoy Reading! and if you got other question i'm suggesting read all of the posts there and you'll get your answer.
I did a ARHD upgrade using a "long" way; reading a lot of stuff, gathering a lot of tools and stuff. The upgrade task was a quite easy and quick operation after all, but before the first one you just don't know what to expect.
There is one tool which advertises to do all pre-reqs (s-off, root, clockworkmod, supercid if needed etc) in one step:

Hi,
I have a HTC Desire HD which I would like to root and flash with new software, as HTC is not providing the newest available software versions for download.
I have searched a lot on the forum, and also found several forum articles, but I am new to performing these steps for root and flash, so I am looking for a more detailed step by step guide... as it seems to be easy to forget something, when looking at all the information on for example this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231450
I have been told by an experienced developer that I need to do this:
1. Root S-Off + Eng SOff
2. Then install ROM Manager - and install all from there
But I have no clue how to do this root and steps for the rest as well.
I think that I would like to try this flash = BinDroid RUNMED2.5 V1.6 FINAL
from this link = http://xda.bindroid.com/custom-rom/runmed25.html
But how I root the phone and what else steps I need to do in what order is difficult to understand from the example link mentioned.
Are anyone of you able to provide me with a NOOB instruction step by step guide which explain in detail step 1, step 2, step 3 etc. - as I am afraid to destroy / crash my phone if I do not do it the exact correct way?!
Thanks a million in advance for your help!
Cheers,

Read this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25497205
Edit: use the ace hack kit to root your phone.
But before you try to root, read the effin manual 20 times - seriously. Once you are done reading it, read it a few more times. Seriously.
Then you can perform the steps in the link.

DON'T FLASH ENG S-OFF, if your phone was shipped with gingerbread. You will mess the bootloader. You don't need it anyway....for rooting and S-OFF use the Hack Kit, that is the only game in town...

Hi All,
I read the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=25497205 - but it explain what to do with a rooted phone.
Mine is not rooted yet, and the steps are not NOOB enough for me, and I cannot find link to the effin manual or step by step how to root and flash.
Is both the "BinDroid RUNMED2.5 V1.6 FINAL" - and Kernel download files from this link needed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231450 - or where do I find detailed step by step instructions.
I saw this description = "Perfect instructions are in the first post of the ROM thread"... but I do not know which post is the first in which ROM thread etc.
See... I am a clear NOOB, and need very detailed description on where to find information. Sorry mates.
Cheers,
Osukido
By the way - then my HTC Desire HD has these specs:

Browser version WebKit/533.1
Thanks in advance.

First, before you root your phone read and then read again. If you can't find the first post, well.... It's hard to put it nicely.
The first post of a thread will be the 1st post
It is the first page of a thread.
To root, use the ace advanced kit (which has a manual that explains how to use it called "the effin manual). It is easy to use, but at the same time you need to understand it. It was designed to make you get accostumed to reading. You will find almost any question you have right here on xda. It will be easier to search for a question using your computer instead of the xda app on your phone.
If this is still too difficult, ask a friend to help you - two heads are better than one.
One more thing. DO NOT FLASH A ROM FROM A DIFFERENT PHONE. STAY IN THE DESIRE HD FORUM.
There are a few roms where you need to install the previous version before installing the latest version.
Your first link took me no where.
You do not need those scripts. You can use them if you want.
Sorry if this is confusing, just woke up from a nap after a long night of drinking
