Install custom Rom for noob friend??

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

Rooting my Desire HD?

My desire hd is running 2.3.3 now and I want to root my phone without downgrading because I don't know how to downgrade.
So my question is. Can I root my desire hd without downgrading or is my firmware too high?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium

without downgrade is impossible

Doesnt the advanced ace hack work?
If not do you think there will be a direct root for 2.3.3 soon?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium

I'm pretty sure the only possible way is the downgrade.
There is not really any point in devs looking into rooting 2.3 as you can do a simple downgrade.
It's not hard read some info and go for it.

Wow Thank you! It worked. My Desire HD is now downgraded and rooted.
I have rom manager and all those other stuff.
Can you please tell me how to put a ROM on my desire HD. Could you tell me wich one yoou prefer because I want something that doesnt fu# my phone

Do you like sense? If so flash RCMix3d Runny v1.5
If you want stock android flash cyanogenmod
There are plenty of guides to flash roms, use the search function

I have installed virtious unity now. Is it a good rom? I think it looks awesome with sense 3.0

RCMix3D It has Sense 3.5

Got a download link?
And does it work smoother than virtious?

Did you make a backup while rooting? Otherwise just take one of the collected shipped roms in the developer threads...
Desire Z = Vision
I used the wiki guide to return to stock - it worked

i pesonally would use the cyanogenmod wiki to root, but its your choice. and im pretty sure youll need a custom rom to flash a kernel that supports overclocking. i doubt anyone makes modded stock kernels. i would use icecold sandwich and it has built in up to 2.03ghz

I Guess If You Root You Cant Receive any official updates

Its tricky...you benefit a Lot more from rooting than if not...if your woriied about losing stock there are rooted untouched roms in the Dev section then you can overclock etc...I'd go that route..even when HTC release sense and ics a variant rooted version of that will be on here anyway...stocks okay but if your overclocking then you have more of a genuine interest in what you want your phone to be doing so in that respect also you will become just like most people and flashing till you get what you want

Thanks for all the useful information mates. I have heard that all the ics customs roms have bugs like camera, video playback, touch problem etc. So i will root my desire hd for over clocking after getting the bug free rom. And can anyone suggest me some good apps for Desire hd.
Thanks in advance .....
