[Q] De-Branding and installing stock rom

Hello all
I've done a little researching, sorry if i've overlooked something.....
My question is, i want to de-brand my Orange DHD, to remove all the Orange crap that comes with it, and install a stock ROM, then maybe a custom ROM after.... so o i basically get the Radio S-Off then i'm good to go?
Would i need to follow this first?
(cant post outside links yet but here is the title: [TOOL][VIDEO] One click Radio S-OFF, SimUnlock (Easy Root & S-OFF Guide)
My handset info is:
Baseband: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Kernel: 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d
Build: 1.40.61.2
Software: Same as above
Bootloader: 0.85.0007
Thanks for any help.

I'm not an expert by any means as I'm also figuring out how to do all the flashing stuff.
But this is what I "think" you need on top of the radio s-off.
The sequence I followed is as follows
1) install visionary
2) temproot
3) permroot
4) s-off through http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403
5) radio s-off using your posted thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403
6) install titanium backup through market and do a backup
7) install rom manager through market and backup current rom
something I did extra
8) install sms backup & restore through market and backup
I think from here, you should be ready to flash a new rom and radio
And the instruction for flashing should be on the individual thread the rom you are trying to flash.
Maybe you can update your own steps so that it can be a guide for newcomers including myself

Thanks for the reply, i am a little bit worried though as of the different kernel versions and software versions which you need to be on etc? or doesn't it matter?

AFAIK, the radio and custom rom should be compatible.
i.e.
You install a particular rom, the thread will specifically recommend which radio to install.
As for the kernel, it should be together with the rom.
So, you just need to flash the rom and radio, and you will get rom, kernel and radio unless you want specific kernel with different rom.
Then, you will just download just the kernel and flash it.
For me, the most impt this is first do a backup of your stock rom and data.

I've done it
I done the S-off and the rooting, put the 1.32 stock rom on my sd card and booted into the bootloader and installed it, running fine
Thanks guys, i might look into custom ROMS next, i do that via clockworkmod right?
I did back up the rom via cloclwork before i installed the stock ROM but i don't know if it backed up correctly, the file size is only 4meg :/

[Q] downgrade and radio

Keep original version of Radio when downgrade? Or overwritten by new ROM image?
( downgrade by thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003 )
I have official Gingerbread OTA, so hope i have newest official Radio.
I want keep this Radio, then use Radio S-OFF guide (not bootloader ENG S-OFF) and install custom ROM.

As far as i understand it, if you don't use the ENG-s off you won't be able to flash new Radios, which is recommended by most Chefs for best performance. But someone feel free to correct me

WHEN YOU flash any custom rom only re-writes kernel and rom
you´re going to keep your current radio mate
in adition for root your device with gingerbread 2.3.3 read about "gingerbreak method" you need it for obtain root access.

what is your build number i.e. Firmware?
if its lower than 1.7x just do ENG-OFF straight away...go HERE
if its 1.7x or greater, you need to downgrade first ... go HERE -- (downgrade, then root again to flash new ROMs -- use Visionary)
--When downgrading, you dont need to follow the whole thread since you're already rooted, and the thread explains how to get temp root to flash 1.32 RUU. so just skip to the part when you have to flash the RUU.
For 1.32 RUU, it can be found in the downgrade link.
For more things like ROMs, RUUs, Kernels, etc ... go HERE

Can't flash roms on Incredible

I'm trying to flash roms on an Incredible which has a locked bootloader. I tried unrevoked3 to unlock the bootloader but it tells me my firmware is too new.
Currently the phone has
Android 2.3.4 (stock)
Baseband 2.15.10.-7.07
Kernel 2.6.35.13
Build 4.08.605.2
Pri 1.28_002
Is there any way to get this done?

Try this: http://androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/427344-how-root-2-3-4-downgrade-get-s-off.html
This is what I used to root an S-OFF my dinc awhile back.
It requires having (with drivers installed) adb, grabbing a copy of an older unrevoked, downgrading, rooting/gaining s-off, then finally flashing a custom recovery (thus being able to install a rom such as cyanogen, my fav (for the moment)), among other things.
Its a process, but trust me, its worth it. As far as I know this is the only way to Root ans S-OFF a dinc w/ the latest firmware. You'll probably want to set aside a day for this. (mostly because you'll be having way to much fun flashing different roms, I know I did).
Just make sure to read the thread, to make sure you know exactly what your doing.

Actually if your on the new 1.02 hboot follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506258

How do I go back to the stock ROM? (European)

Hello everyone.
I am wondering how can I go back to the stock ROM and kernel on my HTC One M8. Right now I am running the LiquidSmooth ROM on Android L, but I would prefer to return to the stock one. My phone is S-ON, unfortunately, and I have the European model. If someone could please help me out, I would really appreciate it. I would like to have the stock ROM on Android L, because I'm used to it.
Thanks!

Restore your nandroid that you should always make of your stock setup before flashing ROMs.
Otherwise, find your stock ROM on the following thread, and restore using the instructions given on the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

You can use the guide in my signature. Some parts require S-OFF but most can be done with an S-ON device, so long as it's definitely the EU model
