[Q] Help please! - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, i have just been given a DHD and im getting bored with my SGII. Just wondering how to put a different rom on.
Not sure what s-off/r-off ect is or how to do it
is there a guide somewhere, the roms for this phone look alot better then the roms for the SGII.
so what would you recommend for style, batt life, smoothness ect.
Any help would be great
Cheers in advance
Michael

Hey!
I suggest (infact everyone will suggest) you read though this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936214
It has all the answers to your rooting related questions and more!
Read carefully & thoroughly!
Also research a little, Google is there to help!
Personally I'd say don't read it once and jump into rooting your DHD. Really learn what goes into the rooting process and weigh in the pros & cons before you do anything.
It took me a quite a while to decide to take the plunge and honestly, it was the best thing I did this year!
Hope this helps!

thanks alot for your response, i found that thread after a while of searching last night, i also used google and decided to do it this morning. I really like the DHD and i think i will sell my SG II and stick with this!
Thanks again!

No problem!
Happy to help!

with my tilt. i read some of the other post but can't seem to understand about all the flashing and stuff. i really don't wanna brick my phone, if you know what i mean. im apart of the PSP modding scene but it is nothing compared to this.
so can someone please help me out here. it would be very much appreciated.
right now i have...
Rom version - 1.62.502.0
radio version - 1.27.14.09
Thank you very much, do you need any other info?
Read the posts and use the search feature.
Really, it's not hard.
I had no idea how to flash my Kaiser with another ROM until I read up on it and yeah, it was somewhat confusing at first but after reading and re-reading things, I was able to work out what I needed to do and with what order.
Not wanting to come across as harsh but nobody is going to hold your hand through this when all the information is on this site many, many times over.

[Q] NOOB question. please help me. thanks guys.

Thanks. i hit google last night and didnt go to bed till i found the info i needed. and i came across all of those pages except for the android one.
by the way. are you using a rom? if you are which one are you using and is there another that you recoomend me to use?
Thank you. Hope your next few days are filled with joy. God Bless.
Well generally what say is what most will say, after you have used the Hard sPL unlocker, i would recommend a simple Rom that has been stripped of all the bloat ware, to get a feel for the speed and responsiveness , then after you get bored with it, then try the other Roms that the fine chef have cooked.
Here is what i have been using, its simple and fast

Kwbr is getting ready to update the Rom shortly with a newer version.
thanks i was getting stuff ready for when i my parents got me my phone this chirstmas. turns out the got me a unlocked HD2. so im guessing it works the same, since they both run windows 6.5 right?
I would head over to the HD forum and start reading, some may be the same but there will be differences ...i would still set up both phones with stock stripped Roms and compare them both...i still favor the Tilt 2 Pro... because of the keyboard

Read this thread then decide....tilt 2 has 3g the HD2 uses edge..

[Q] In Really need of help!!

Hi All,
I'm a proud owner of DHD and new to Android. I just got my phone off the shelf. After seeing some pics of those customized phones, I really want to do those mods in my phone as well. But the sad thing is that I'm really clueless on where to start and what is the best approach. Kindly help me out!!!=) My wife also has the same phone. I also want her to have these mods on her phone. It would be best if you can provide me with a step by step process.
I will really appreciate the help.
Thanks.
Check out the DHD forums read everything you can find. Lots of tutourials just Google away. Read read read and make sure you understand what you need to do and when you feel comfortable go for it. Lots of help also on Youtube.
This is a good start...

Go to the Desire HD Android Development Section once your ready to get your ROMs.

I have been reading the forums for some time now in hopes to someday root one my phones. I started reading about a year ago and finally rooted last week.
Root went great then yesterday I flashed my first Rom and oh crap anything and everything went wrong because I missed one step. Now what??? Read Read Read.
After a lot of reading I found my answers and fixed my phone, I couldn't of done it without you so Thank You for all the walk throughs tips and guides.

You are so welcome
You waited a year before taking the plunge, and you still messed up?? No offense. I just find that rather odd. Not saying anything so don't be mad. We all make mistakes. Take care. =)
I too want to say thanks to all you great gents& Ladies her for your time & patience with this old broad. I haven't been on here for very long but I find that I am way out of my league with you bunch. In a lot of cases trying to read what you reply of post is like trying to read Greek & I can barley read Enlish & I am a Canuck. I have loved my Streak but as I rarely use it anymore for anything more than a phone & the problems it has given me, I have put my sim & SD cards back into my BB and will just use it in my latter years. I may upgrade to a Galaxy but I don't know just now. So anyway I have put the Streak up for sale here in the to sell forum as well as the accesories forum & next week or so I will put it on Ebay, Kikijji or Craigslist. Again thanks for all the advice I have placed this forum into my favorites so I have a place to come to if I need expert electronic advice. Cheers Angela aka fysty-1 Dodds.

I would also like to echo my thanks to this site, to everyone behind it and all the contributors and wealth of knowledge that is assembled here. After finally having enough with VZW, I unlocked and rooted my GNEX and it's been absolutely wonderful! THANKS!
Welcome in guys!
I see you have decided to step out of lurking and perhaps become part of the community, that is very noble cause indeed.
Feel free to roam the forums you guys frequent and help other members with questions or issues that you once had, this way we can help perpetuate the greatness of the forum and save developers' time answering things so they spend it developing.
That may be the best way to show your gratitude.
I too want to say Thank you to the xda community!
I've been here for many things, questions, ROM, some help.
Thank you
Agreed! Loving the support for my Galaxy Nexus. All answers seem to be found here

A Big Thank yous
