Hi, I would like to help my friend install a custom Rom on his desire and need to find out the general steps of what to do??
I have a desire hd and I'm not sure if things are a little different.
For my desire hd I : root, s-off, install custom Rom via cwm.
Is that the same steps as the desire??
My friend is on software number 2.29, can that build be rooted or does it need to downgrade first?? Also I've just read a couple of threads regarding installing a custom Rom and they don't refer to having s-off so was wondering if he needed to be s-off to have custom Rom, id assume he did.
Yeah if someone could help by just saying the steps in which to do it, id look up the rest ,
Thanks in advance to anyone that could help.
P.s its not for me, I'm doing it for a mate who is a complete noob.
Thanks a lot

these are the things need to allow your phone to accept any roms by flashing
those are like locks/obstacles for your phone u have to unlock all of it to be able to flash those roms but you will need to downgrade your firmware version if its any higher than 1.32 then root the phone using visionary and use the easy desire hd radio tool to do the s-off,radio-off,etc.
Check this thread, should explain it all.
Hello to everyone!
I successfully rooted my HTC Desire, Android version 2.3.3, with software provided by revolutionary.io/.
Now I want to install the InsertCoin ROM, and frankly I have no idea how.
Can someone provide me with a step-by-step guide to becoming a InsertCoin user?
Thanks!
No we can't, but you could use the search function to find one of the many guides

What do you mean "i couldn't find a good tutorial"? just between you and me, I don't think you tried very hard, because here Is a guide that works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39935122 it was in the developers section.
It will guide you to unlock your bootloader, install recovery, and even s-off your unlocked bootloader.
Personally, I think it was a pretty good guide...

Hi, I have a small query. I've recently gotten root privileges on my phone HTC Inspire 4G, I have unlocked the bootloader but I'm still S-ON. I wonder if I can install an ICS ROM or JB. And what kind of ROM, if AOSP or other, greetings.

If you are so kind to give me the direct link because I'm mobile would be eternally grateful if you tell me what is the best ROM for my I4G / DHD
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
It's the Ace Think Tank thread in DHD General. And no one else can answer the best ROM question; the best ROM is the best ROM for you and your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30020025
The info is in a pdf file.
Best rom is subjective.

I read the document and said that only the S-Off can install customs ROMs. So to say that my I4G / DHD I can only set you AOSP ROMS? And if the only method Put the ROM on the root of the SD and flash from CWM Recovery? Sorry I'm kind of newbie's insistence

It's been a while since I've read it.... But there should be a section if you are only bootloader unlocked.
Edit: in short, aside from flashing the rom zip you need to flash the rom.img or something like that. There are several rom threads over the development section that detail how to get it done.
2nd EDIT: It's on PAGE 4.
