[Q] How to install custom ROM? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have tried doing multiple searches but there are so many different threads, I didn't know which one was the correct one.
I have a T-Mobile UK Branded DHD.
Here is the software information!
Code:
Android Version
2.3.3
HTC Sence Version
2.1
Baseband Version
12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel Version
2.6.35.10-g3bf3222
[email protected] #1
Mon Apr 11 22:46:37 CST 2011
Build Number
2.37.110.5
Browser Version
WebKit/553.1
Please could someone kindly direct me into the right direction to downgrade, root, and install a custom Rom.
Also, is there a post specifying the best ROMs for DHD? (preferably a louder sound ROM)
Thanks

I don' think you can root with 2.3.3 without Radio S off using Gingerbreak so ..........I'd look at following this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
You will need a goldcard... never tried this with 2.3.3 but the thread suggests that it will work
Stock roms can be found here http://www.iloveabath.co.uk/index.php?dir=RUUs/

Unfortunately at the moment you wont be able to downgrade. Currently build numbers 2.37 and up are not able to downgrade

[Q] Gingerbread ROM and Parrot Car Kit

Hello.
I have the same issue with Gingerbread as with Froyo. When I use my Desire with Parrot CK3200LS-COLOR, nobody hears me when I'm talking to Parrots microphone. I hoped that things will change in last Gingerbread ROM's, but was dissappointed.
May be somebody knows what is the reason of this problem?
Have I to forget about using my Desire with Parrot?
Recently I tried Samsung Wave with Bada 1.0 OS and it worked great without any issue with Parrot.
Why Bada works, but Android doesn't? Is it bug left by Android creators and developers, or is it Parrot's problem?
Please help me to find final answer to my questions.
Which gingerbread rom are you using?
some still have the mic volume set to 0 meaning you can hear people but they cannot hear you.
When you tried with Froyo was it a stock rom or had you rooted?
do you know anyone else with a non rooted Android phone? Try theirs and see what hapens
thats wierd.
i'd check the settings as mentioned above.
i have a Parrot car kit - the CK3100 i think and this works fine.
oh, and I'm using Adam's Oxygen 2 RC4 rom

I tried Adam's Oxygen 2 RC4. Do you mean mic volume setting in Desire or in Parrot?
My Froyo ROM is Leedroid 2.3b, but same problems were with Parrot on all rooted ROM's Eclair and Froyo I've tried. To tell truth I haven't tried Parrot with stock ROM.
Is it possible that problem is caused by radio (mine is 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2)?
Happy New Year !!!
Today I tested HTC Desire Z with my Parrot. No problems at all.
Here are all firmware data of that phone:
baseband version 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
kernel version 2.6.32.21-gd2764ed
[email protected]#1
build number 1.34.405.5 CL273326
software version 1.34.405.5
Android version 2.2
And here is my HTC Desire (problematic working with Parrot) firmware data:
baseband version 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
kernel version 2.6.32.15-leedroid_2.3
[email protected]#1
build number 2.29.405.2 CL226611
software version LeeDrOiD V2.3b
Android version 2.2
Could somebody explain me where my HTC Desire problem is digged?
Thank you.

There's a post in there from not more than a few hours ago that may help.

rooting my G2 and downgrading

okay so i've been trying to read as much as i can it is a lil confusing at first but here is the specs on my G2:
Android Version:
2.2
Baseband version
12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Kernel version:
2.6.32.17-g9ab3677
[email protected]#1
Build Number
1.22.531.8 CL277427
(what do all these numbers mean lol i see them in all the roms)
now i want to permaroot using the gfree method that i found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2
but according to this page my phone needs to be downgraded, am I correct
"gfree is known not to work for radio firmwares with higher versions then 26.03.02.xx
The reason for this is that HTC patched the hole that allowed scotty2 to power cycle the emmc chip to drop its write protection.
So if you installed a radio version with a higher version number the downgrade the radio firmware before using gfree.
gfree is also known not to work on the HTC 1.72 ROM version. If you have radio S-OFF then you can downgrade to an earlier version where it works. If you do not have radio S-OFF then you cannot downgrade.
gfree uses a dynamic in-memory patch of the kernel to remove the kernel's write protection of the radio settings partition"

so if i have to downgrade before i can permaroot which is the best ROM for me to downgrade to. I don't quite understand the CY roms etc and what all the characters mean. and then which rom do i upgrade to i would like better reception so i believe i should change the radio?
any help would be appreciated be nice im very new
thanks
No, you don't need to downgrade. But you've posted in the wrong forum though, this should be in the Q&A section

thanks!! if a mod could move this to the appropriate forum it would be appreciated. So i can go ahead with using gFree? and how do i decide which rom to flash lol CM or Virtuous etc?
i appreciate all the help
Totally up to you what rom you like the most:
Cm: stock android with maaaany enhancements
Enomtether: pretty much stock
Virtuous: if you want sense this is the rom to run.
So just try them all out. With clockwork it is easy to switch and test them out gl!

After you have root and S-OFF, make sure you do a (nandroid) backup through ROM Manager/Clockwork *before* you flash any other ROMs. Then you can easily go back to where you were.
P.S. Feel free to start a new thread in Q&A asking about what all the version numbers mean etc.
thanks guys i am gonna use gfree to permroot and i have already downloaded rom manager i will back up first and foremost

[Q] Do I have Stock HTC DHD ROM?

Hi
I recently flashed my DHD with what I believe was the Stock HTC ROM.
However, I got to thinking, how do I know it was the stock ROM? I got it from a link in a forum post (can't find it now) would like to confirm that this is the stock HTC ROM.
I have nothing against custom ROMS, but I specifically want the stock ROM experience for a while.
This is what I have:
Android Version: 2.2.1
Build number: 1.72.405.3 CL296490 release-keys
Software number: 1.72.405.3
Can anyone tell if this is the stock ROM?

If you don't have root and the recovery shows S-ON then you should be on stock ROM.

~Will Root harm My Phone in any way ?? ~
Thanks a Lot
Downgrade and root, then you have 1.32.405.6 stock ROM + root.
OR
Downgrade, root, s-off, and flash Raidroid Stockify series ROM, then you will have rooted 1.84 based stock ROM.
Root does not harm your device in any way.
Look in the dhd q&a about 11 posts down theres a thread titled my experience from stock to leedroid itl take u thro the whole process and if u dnt want to flash a rom just miss that last step

UK 3 Stock ROMS

Howdy!
I need a stock rom which will work with my UK 3 phone. I've have six failed rom installs. I can't access the site posted in the NOOB guide for stock roms so I'm stuck. I've tried flashing the other ones posted and they fail to install. (I mostly need a stock rom so I can be safe incase of custom rom issues).
