Hi Everybody,
I have an HTC Desire and i want to know how to install a new rom on this device :
HTC Desire
Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBoo : 0.93.0001
Touch Panel-Synt0101
Radio-5.10.05.30
How can I root my device and install new rom ?
thanks for your answer

First, go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post the software version we can see if you're on something that can be unrooted...

Ok i have this version :
Android 2.2
Baseband 32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30
kernel 2.6.32.15-ge2c73db
build 2.22.71.2 CL254708
software number 2.22.71_2
you have all what you need ?
how can i root and which procedure can i use to do it ?

I have the same hboot as you 093, and i root my phone with unrevoked 3.2 method, and i'm realy pleased now and happy. Just goole unrevoked, you will find it on the unlockr site. Just folow the steps there, will be a bit triky with the drivers for the computer....you will see some discutions on the forums. Folow the steps acurate... and with this method you cant brick your phone....Good luck

Problems on rooting my DHD - Please HELP

Hello,
I finally decided to post this thread and ask for your help. I've been an iPhone user since the original iPhone....but now I made the switch, I've got myself a DHD and I would really want to root it, and flash some roms onto it.
Here's my problem, I tried downgrading, but after DHD finished extracting the PD98IMG it said that the original ROM is older.
Here are all the details of my DHD:
Android Version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense Version: 2.1
Baseband Version: 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.10-g0956377
[email protected] #1
Build Number 2.36.405.8 CL47853 realease-keys
Software Version: 2.36.405.8
Browser Version: WebKit/533.1
Please help me.
What should I do? Do I need to downgrade, can I?

You will need to downgrade your Baseband from 2.3.3 by using the following link...

I was lucky not needing to downgrade,but I am on my second Android Revolution Rom and very pleased

First of all, everything went fine. I am not rooted, I have my custom rom and full wipe on SD not extracted of course.
Installed the Rom Manager, flashed the clockwork recovery...but doesn't matter what I do it won't enter into recovery.
Even bought the droid bootstrap, tried it manually and still the same.....the triangle and ! shows every time.
Please help me...what should I do? what is it that I'm doing wrong?

The red triangle is stock recovery for whatever reason rom manager has failed to flash clockwork recovery, reboot into bootloader and manually flash the recovery from there as per usage here
Doh! would help if i read everything, you cannot flash recovery without S-OFF, therefore you need to root first and then flash H-boot then recovery and custom rom

You say your not Rooted..
I think you will have to be Rooted to use the ClockworkMod and Droid Bootstrap..
Link to Rooting here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537..
Make sure your Baseband is below 1.72 as in instruction..

Sorry, I meant I am now rooted

Having root on your DHD is not enough to flash custom recovery. You need to do S-Off before you can install Clockworkmod recovery from Rom Manager.
This is a very nice guide from Jkoljo about S-Off http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
However, this won't be enough if you want to Flash a Radio (aka Baseband) which I think you will want to consider once you start flashing custom roms. This process is called Eng-Off which is more risky than S-Off. You can find a link in the above mentioned guide for more reading if you like.

very helpful. im still new to this. i had many of the same problems

when u ran the kit, it downloaded a file called PD98IMG-GBx.zip (where x is a number). That file should be in the PD98IMG folder of the Hack kit. Rename that file PD98IMG.zip (case sensitive and make sure that you don´t double the extension, such as .zip.zip) and put it in the root of the sdcard. Then, boot in hboot (power + volume down) and let it prompt you for update. Just press volume up to update and let it finish. Once it is done, you should have a working phone again...

SD Checking:
Loading PD98DIAG.zip..
No image found
Loading PD98DIAG.nbh
No image or wrong image
Loading PD98IMG.zip..
-----------------------
Cheking.. [PD98IMG.zip]
Than it says;
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot.
What could be wrong? I've tried the process several times, deleted and recopied the PD98IMG.zip file, but it doesn't change anything.

How are You guys trying to downgrade the phones?

Hi guys, as you can see I´m a rockie here and I apologise if this isn´t the right place for my query.
I unlocked the bootloader with htcdev token, and installed the CloclWork recovery, and I did a backup. After that I flashed the Jelly Been Rom, I used it for about 24 hours and don´t want to use it anymore. How can I downgrade my HTC desire HD. Just to say I have S-on
When I go to recovery and try to backup the original (file system) I got stuck at the hTC logo...
Could anyone help me?

[Q] HTC WF S : can't use recovery to change ROM. Plse help.

Hi,
I've spent the whole day trying to install a new ROM on my wildfire s.
I'm able to unlock (and relock) the phone, and was using this post as a guide to install the new rom :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633198
I've put the zip file on the SD card, and in hboot, it's scans for PG76IMG.zip. It checks and parses PG76IMG.zip. But then there is only the usual
options. When I select recovery, I get a black screen with red triagle and exclamation mark.
I've also tried upgrading the ROM with the HTC RUU, described in the HTC website to unlock the phone (step 1).
But my phone doesn't accept the EU ROM. (I need to upgrade the software over wifi first using 'check now'). But there's no update available.
Tried several guides but none worked. Can anybody help?
some details :
- android 2.3.5 (htc 2.1, softwarenr 2.26.401.3)
- unlocked
- hboot 1.09.0099
Thanks!
Thomas.

There's a easy method,just download cwm recovery.img for wfs...
Plug ur wfs with pc
Switch off ur wfs and open fastboot in bootloader mode.
Open command on ur pc and type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
This would install cwm recovery on ur wfs and then u can flash roms .
Hit the thanks if i helped

[Q] Trying & Failing to root HTC Desire HD! Please Help

Hi Everybody
I found this guide to root the HTC Desire HD.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221039
Started of with Hboot: went all the way through to click next to start and i get ERR[191]: Rom not supported.
checked my hboot version got this:
*** LOCKED (OOW) ***
ACE PVT SHOP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0029
MICROP-4038
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot
DEC 22 2011.14.28.19
I have rom version: 3.12.405.1
any ideas why i cant get past err191 ?

You've already got the updated hboot hence why its says 2.xxx.029 and also says locked. The word locked should have been abvious if you read that guide...
Ok so now you need to unlock your boot loader. You need to goto htcdev and follow the steps for getting unlock token then follow the steps that will be sent to the email address you signed up with.
Next flash custom recovery, I recommend only 4ext.
Then either flash super user zip found somewhere on xda (search)
Or flash custom rom in 4ext then flash boot.img found inside custom rom zip file.
Instructions for those steps are here on dhd forums just go find them.

Tried HTC Bootloader but that didnt' work so tried the AAHK2 and after a downgrade it rooted it.
Now I assume that if I want ICS on the DHD I simply download the ROM and slap it on the SDCard the hboot to install it?

Well putting the ROM file on the SD card is correct but you'll need a custom recovery to install it.
