Hi
i am new to the android scene after being an apple fan for many years, and im now in the process of trying to install a custom rom.
I have used to ace hack to allow root access, and want to change to virgin media rom to an unbranded version, but the problem i have is i cannot find a unbranded custom firmware. I have found various different versions but worried about getting he wrong one. Im not sure if this info is needed but here it is anyway:
HTC Desire HD
android version
2.3.3
HTC sence version
2.1
software number
2.36.351.16
if anybody can point me to where i can find an unbranded bootrom for my phone i would be very grateful.
cheers
neil

ok firstly my mistake, i have a locked t-mobile Htc Desire, then root it, then install a custom rom then install stock RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed
then run software udate and you have a stock 2.2 rom result.
well done...
<slow hand clap>
Thread is pointless really.
A) Your title and content is completely wrong and how could you not know this when you posted originally and B) The actual rom details etc is well known to most people as there are already plenty of threads here and other forums with same info.
Wake up dude.
This thread should be torched by the mods before too many T-Mo users think this guy is a genius.
Hi All,
Please bear with me - I'm a late Desire joiner.
I've been reading the Froyo update threads but haven't found an answer.
Phone is UAE version, Arabic and English, and has ROM v 2.1xx on it.
The updater says there is no update.
How can I download the stock HTC 2.2 ROM, please?
All help much appreciated.
OK - I've been to the HTC website and 2.2 is not available for my phone - I guess that this is because they haven't got around to the Arabic yet!
So, I'd like to install a UK English version of 2.2 - where can I get it?
Check you screen
Hi,
Im a fellow newbie HTC Desire user. I just rooted my Desire now running on custom ROM. I think you need to check first if you have SLCD or AMOLED screen. Most RUUs are not compatible with SLCD Desire phone.
You can re-direct to Informative Threads, Links & Info - READ THIS FIRST ! thread and refer to [ROM] Official HTC Desire RUU ROMS and OTA Update URLs.
Hope this helps.
Many thanks.
I've installed roms before on my WinMo phones quite happily.
But, this time I'd like to stay with the stock rom from HTC, so I just want to upgrade to 2.2 for the improved functionality ........ I think I need to fool HTC into thinking that the phone is in the UK and it will upgrade OTA?
Hmmm ..... whwre to download the official HTC Froyo?
all RUUs in the link are authenticated by HTC = not custom ROM. Just download the RUU for your region and then upgrade to 2.2 via OTA. Just confirm first that you have AMOLED screen. As i said, most RUUs are not compatible with SLCD screens.
Right, thanks, I'm beginning to understand.
How can I tell if my phone has the amoled screen?
Thanks for your patience!
np
Just a heads up, it might take a while installing ROM on your Desire (30 minutes or so) so dont panic if you see the HTC logo with white background for a while.
OK, I'm getting closer to doing it - maybe at the weekend.
How do I know which type of screen it has?
Hi,
You can follow the procedure in one of the threads here. Also, normally, most phones sold after Aug 2010 are all SLCD screens.
However, I advise you to just sent an email to HTC Customer Service to be 100% sure (this is what i did).
I do believe that if you are upgrading to Froyo then screen type doesn't matter because it has both sets of drivers anyway. Also I think there is a list of official download find in the developers section of this site.;0-)

Read up more and ask questions, all the information is on here. Tbh, if you're not sure what youre doing you shouldn't have even rooted
I haven't rooted that's why I'm asking for help

The thing is that all the info you need to root is already here and probably repeated at least 100 times in individual [q] threads.
The most beginner friendly guide is probably Turkey's.
When you have root and learn to flash a custom rom, go to the Desire Index and look for one of the "Sense HD ROMS", choose one flash it and you are done .
hi
Be gentle im very new to this please.
i have a HTC Desire A8183 GSM 850/900 with telstra Branding, I would liketo install a custom Rom without the telstra Rubbish on it .
im running 2.2 at the moment .
if there is a 'Vanilla " Android Rom where would i find it please ?
Thank you for your patience and understanding .
Haven't seen downloadable plain Android ROM anywhere (just screenshots), but MODs are plentifull. E.g. Redux if like minimalistic approach or always popular CyanogenMod.
If you just want to get rid of telstra stuff, check official HTC RUUs/ROMs from this thread. That way you'd have Android+HTC SW (e.g. Sense). Or, to save you the trouble of rooting, pick one from here.
Have fun with experimenting1
Hi, I am new here and i need some help.
I want to install new rom with sense 3.0 on my htc desire hd, but I don't know how.
software information: Android version 2.3.3
Sense version 2.1
Software number 2.50.111.5
Hi
As I know there is not an Offical Update to Sense 3 for DHD
you'll need to root you device and flash a costum ROM.
for that you'll need to get to the Development Section - I've posted link of the FAQ section and there you'll need to read a-l-o-t before you'll take any action with your device:

Enjoy Reading! and if you got other question i'm suggesting read all of the posts there and you'll get your answer.
I did a ARHD upgrade using a "long" way; reading a lot of stuff, gathering a lot of tools and stuff. The upgrade task was a quite easy and quick operation after all, but before the first one you just don't know what to expect.
There is one tool which advertises to do all pre-reqs (s-off, root, clockworkmod, supercid if needed etc) in one step:
