I bought desire and it came rooted with LeeDroid v1.9 .. meaning it already had the 2.2 update installed.
My problem? I want to reflash it to stock rom, the 2.1 eclair. How should i go about without demaging my phone? Dont ask me why I want to do that.
PS: This is my first android phone. Any help and pointers in this regard would be appreciated.
Do you know whether it was a branded phone before being rooted/flashed?
You don't want to go to 2.1, get the stock 2.2 and flash that

i dont know if it was branded or not. where to get the stock 2.2 ? and how to flash?
i am an android newbie, so all this flashing and rooting is french too me
sorry for being naive.
In terms of getting the ROM, click on the version number on my signature (if it asks for a username/password both are shipped - there's also the chance the link is down. If it is, try again later). That is the full ROM.
To flash the ROM, connect your Desire to your PC and make sure you're connected in HTC Sync. Then just run the RUU file! If your phone was previously branded the CID check wil fail and the update won't complete. No biggie, it just means you have to make a gold card to flash it - search 'make gold card desire' on here and you should find a decent guide (I'd say use THIS one)
If it does complete, then you have a genuine unbranded Desire and you can enjoy the 2.2 goodness!!
thanks .. will report back if the need may arise
tnx ... everything worked like a charm
No gold card needed? Nice!
Enjoy your phone
naaa .. no gold card needed .
saved me a lot of trouble.
I have got HTC DESIRE HD with the following Software statistics:
Android Version: 2.2
Software Number: 1.83.415.4
Now i want to root my HTC DESIRE HD to be able to install some custom ROMs of ANDROID 2.3 gingerbread... i have tried using all the different tools such as VISIONARY+ and many other methods that I have found over the internet but none of them works. Can anyone of you please guide me on how to correctly root HTC DESIRE HD, as i've heard that if your software version is greater than 1.72 than its not possible to root it and first you need to downgrade your software version. So help is required from anyone who could help me to downgrade and root my HTC DESIRE HD.
Try searching, you will get your answer a lot quicker. Your specific question gets asked around 2-3 times daily.
Dear, i have been doing that since long but unable to find any suitable option uptil now and that is the reason i finally posted it here.. So if you have any such link which could be of help than that would be nice of you. Thanks...

Hey thanks alot for the help... Actually i tried doing the same procedure again and this time it worked.. i was unable to downgrade as there was some issue with my SD card. Formatted it in normal mode (no QUICK FORMAT) and after that followed the same steps and this time it worked perfectly fine without any issue and finally i have got mh DHD rooted and also S-OFF... Looking for a CUSTOM GINGERBREAD ROM for it.. Do you have any suggestions which one to go for...

Hiya matey,
Its gotta be LeeDrOiD's GB all the way mate. Make sure you have a nandroid backup of your old ROM and be sure to backup before any significant changes to your DHD.
Happy Hunting
Hello there ,
Well, first I would like to thank the admins for this lovely forum it is really nice.
I am a new comer to the Android stuff since i was an advanced iPhone user (Jailbreaker) for over 2 years now, but i decided to move to the Android.
So i bought a new HTC Desure HD unbranded, the thing i updated it directly to 2.3.3 with software version 1.42.
I had tried to root it, read a lot of forums, watching vedioes ..etc so i managed to downgrade to 2.2 with 1.32 and root it, But it seems that my root was not permanent. because when i run the bootloader and install 2.2 again, after installation it tells that i am not a root when i open ROM Manager.
So and because i don't have much time at the moment to read more (Travailing soon), i decided to retore it to the factory defaults so i went to shipped ROM and download a stock one.
What happened is that the version i installed doesn't support Arabic (even it was when i bought it), so i discovered that i downloaded the wrong .exe, I downloaded the one with ARA in the description which i think it is the correct one , do it again but it gives me error with the connection.
The thing is I need your support to restore it to factory defaults along with the SD Memory so it doesn't show that it was rooted (or tried) because i noticed that some of the files and folders are there , just like 2.2 ROM , ROM Manager , su-xx-somthing.
Finlay, I would like to apologize for the long post but your support is really appreciated.
This is the Desire forum, not the Desire HD.
To find an answer I'll start in the DHD subforum.
Hi
I have a desire hd and it won't upgrade to Gingerbread. I have it nearly a year and everytime I try the Software update, it says there's no updates found. It is still on version 2.2. I've sent it back to HTC for another hardware issue and they didn't upgrade it either even though I asked them too.
So could someone recommend how I can do this myself? My phone isn't rooted, and I'm a bit of a noob so any advice would be appreciated.
Also, I'm not sure what ROM I need?
Thanks,
jondom
I'd suggest you to root your phone. then you can upgrade it as often as you want to
furthermore you can use CyanogenMod 7, which is stock android 2.3, if you want to
you said, that you are still on android 2.2. I assume that you have the 1.32.x.x firmware? if so, it's quite easy to root and put a custom rom on it, because you don't have to downgrade.
No one no matter what version needs to downgrade any longer. I really cant believe how many people are still advising people to downgrade. Most of the downgrade methods don't work or are unsupported.
Click here. AAHK does everything you need to start installing custom roms. Its 1 click and if it stuffs up attn1 and the rest of the guys at #liberatedAria are always there to help. They've saved my ass afew times.

Hi fellow members
I've been running revolution hd 9 mod for a long time now, and today i went back to stock rom and then upgraded to 4.1 JB cause i've heard all these good things about it. When i upgraded i was like, screw it i'm gonna root this phone and get some cyanogenmod. The problem is now after i rooted it it was stuck on boot screen. Been trying to get it back to stock, but i can't. I get this error 150 wrong bootloader version. I think it's because i'm on 1.39 hboot. and i've tried every ruu, like 5-6 and alot of recovery.img. But nothing works.
Can someone help me ?
