The best Dhd rom

Hi folks,
I am new here and i am interesting to here from you which rom is the best for you.(battery life,speed..etc).
Thanx a lot
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

That is up to. If I were you, I would try different Roms.
If you like Sense then the best are Android Revolution, LeeDroid HD and Core Droid.
If you like Stock Android, the best are Cyanogenmod 6 (Android 2.2) and Cyanogenmod 7 (Android 2.3).
But in the end it is up to you...

I know ..tnx man.

No problem mate.
If you are a newbie than you should use the Android Revolution HD because it is very close to the Stock Rom, it is fast, stable and has a good battery drain.
Just for info: There is a "Thanks" Button

I'm a noob and you cam see what i'm using

It's quite normal that newbies use the Android Revolution HD because it is, as I already said, very close to stock Rom.

You have to start with downgrading to 1.32.. because the 1.7.. can't be permrooted and root is the basis for everthing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
Then you can root with VISIONary+, make Radio/ENG S-OFF, flash a custom recovery...
here are complete guides for you:

okee, starting: installing .netframework 4 on my windows 7 USB debugging is checked.
IF you have a branded device, you have to make a Goldcard. Use "mmc2" instead of "mmc1"!!
uhm i dont have a branded device, like t-mobile right?
so i dont have to make a goldcard?

I did follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537&highlight=root as mention and it works greate. Can browse my local partition, install radio, ROM, full contole over my phones files....

I had this problem as well and I solved it by rebooting. Try to reboot one time and try again, if it's still blackscreen try to reboot again. If this doesn't work I'll let anyone with better experience help you

How to move from Gingerbread with Gingervillian back to Froyo

I bought an HTC Desire, its rooted with Gingerbread Villian installed on 2.3.3. How do I go back to Froyo ot whatever stock HTC ROM the phone came with?
Complete noob so if someone can provide me with thr correct stock rom for my Desire or help me find it and a guide to install the stock firmware? ThNks.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

see the link to the RUU in my sig - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869048
should work if you have a non-branded handset - else you might need a goldcard.
I haven't delved much into custom ROMs yet - but AFAIK you should be able to just run this straight over the top - it will remove root etc. right back to stock

Can I install this RUU on my phone to return it to STOCK FROYO?
how do I install it, a guide please, saying "flash the rom" is just unhelpful to someone who doesnt know a thing about this business.

Use some logic...the RUU file is an .exe, which is a Windows program. This would mean you have to run it on Windows. Then you'd be presented with instructions for the rest. Use a little common sense

why not try another custom rom . it's great fun

As above - it actually has full instructions while running the RUU.
but for basics you click something like 'I agree to return my phone back to the stock image, and confirm that I know it will wipe all user data etc. etc'
Then click accept to 'I agree that it must be above 50% battery life, and connected to the PC via USB cable' - then I think it verifies that it can find the phone, then says something about it will replace the current image with the stock image (2.29.405.5), then basically just says wait a couple of minutes, your phone reboots and flashes for a few minutes (I think with a big HTC logo and a progress bar), then when it's done it says DONE! and your phone reboots into the welcome wizard as if you turned it on for the first time...

I'd have thought as you have a custom rom on already, you should be able to re-flash any rom over the top of the gingerbread one

Ran the RUU from fastboot, there is an option to UPDATE the ROM so I canceled. Shouldnt there be an option to replace the ROM?
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5

Problem solved! Installed a custom rom that is pre rooted stock froyo. Thanks everyone Special thanks to Lothaen.

update is just poor english - it means replace. - it'd also wipe the root etc.
But glad you got it working the easy way by just flashing a froyo over the gingerbread.

Looking to root friends desire - unrevoked...

Hi, i've been looking around to help my friend with his new desire,
I would like to see if this works, according to my research...
If I ran the phone through unrevoked, would this root the phone?
And in turn, let us install rom manager + clockwork mod?
I don't have much experience around here as I am still looking about rooting my nexus
Hope you can help

Bootloader info, phone info...
Sent from my customized HTC Desire using TTP

I'm gonna have to ask about the bootloader info, but it is currently running stock (latest) which I think is 2.2?
EDIT: How do you get into the bootloader? Is it power+ volume down?

Yes.
TouchPaled from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App

If its running 2.2, chances are very high that you can root it with unrevoked. Make sure the hBOOT version is 0.93.xxxx

If its the same as mine, yes unrevoked will do. However, i was having issues with CwM before so now im using amon ra recovery.just a heads up

Ye, thats right, I just found out that it is 0.93
So my plan on my original post will work?

It will work. As long as the drivers required are properly installed. And you don't need s-off unless you are planning to change the boot partitions (eg. Change from Stock hBOOT to CM7r2 hBOOT to get more space for apps)
Sent from my HTC Original Desire using Tapatalk

If your still not 100% sure I don't think you should even try rooting your friends phone. You'll need the htc usb drivers installed on pc, make sure the htc sync apps is not installed.
Use unrevoked to root and install cwm recovery, from there you can install any of the great roms.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

Please read the rooting faq in my signature. There's also a guide there which incorporates pre requisite information which (for some unknown reason) is missing from most other guides.
But read the faq too. It's not about blindly following steps. It's about understanding the process and what you are doing.

How to Obtain 2.3 RUU From HTC Developers Site

Well, I wrote this a couple of times and it gets more boring every time. Also, the link in Bortak's guide is not working so if someone needs it here you go:
-go to HTC developers site
http://htcdev.com/
-go to KERNEL SOURCE CODE section
-configure filter by DEVICE (choose Desire)
-mark OTHER below
-click on FIND FILES
-and there you go, the first file is 2.3 upgrade utility.
Not that hard?

Hi, can this be pushed directly to the phone ? and how ?
sure I'll lose root permission and S-OFF Right? . sorry for the stupid questions I'm a noob -- first baby steps

You need to extract the exe from the file. The exe is buried two levels deep in a zip.Thereafter run the exe from PC with the phone connected. But before you run the RUU ensure your phone is stock hboot. If it is a alpharev hboot then flash the downgrader hboot from alpharev.nl. Thereafter the "unlock" will appear on bootloader. Then you can run the RUU. You will lose root and soff after RUU.
If you want to again root after this then you have to follow the steps given in revolutionary.io.

No its a direct link to the download from htc

I have just found my old HTC Desire (GSM) again.
Now I would like to install an Android 4.4 or 5.0 Rom on it, but for this I have to S-OFF it and install a custom recovery on it.
Is it still possible? As the most tools are down? And if yes, could someone give me the needed links etc? Thanks.
I am on Android 2.3
Have searched for hours. :/

Temp root seems to be failing. That is usually due to a bad download and Antivirus or other soft eating the Zergrush file (used to temp root). check that in the tools/bin folder of the hack kit you have a file called zergrush. If that is not there, make sure that u disable all the protection software and then re download the Kit.

Main version issue is due to temp root failing...so, or your phone is messed or the Hack Kit download is flaw. Check that in the Tools>bin folder you find the zergrush file.

You need to unlock your bootloader and flash it in fastboot. Then relock the bootloader and run the Hack Kit. Do you know how to do that?
