hello,
can someone please provide the procedure to install Virtuous Quattro on desire HD or a link to it ? is there a need to install any specific Radio /kernel? my HD is on default Radio, but custom MIUI ROM
How to:
Hi as you have a custom rom already it makes it simple as you are already rooted.
1 - Download the ROM and place it on the root of your microSD - Link for the Virtuos Quattro thread
2 - Also Download the Kernel to correct WIFI issues - Link and place it on the root of your microSD
3 - Power down your device and enter on recovery mode by holding volume down and power button at the same time. As soon as it prompt press volume up in 5 sec.
4 - Before flashing the ROM you will have to, for safety, make a backup of your existing ROM. You will find the option in the Recoverymode;
5 - After the backup do a FULL WIPE and it is very important to do in all data, cache and Dalvik (found in advanced options);
6 - Now install zip from MicroSD and look for the ROM.
7 - After installing the rom reboot the system - After rebooting power down into recovery mode again.
8 - Install the Kernel you download following the same procedure of item 6;
9 -Once again Reboot and enjoy.
I am not sure but I would try to avoid using any kind of app and data backup. Start from screch (I did it and had absolutely no problem).

hi Turner,
thanks for the instructions,
apart from installation of the fix for the wifi, is it needed to install any other kernel for this ROM to work? If so, at what stage the kernel (not the wifi fix) should be installed ? also, is it again like step 6 for the installation of the kernel?
As far as I am concerned you wouldn't need any kernel prior for the rom.. I came from stock to android revolution to cm 7.1 and then virtuous. I didn't install any specific kernel prior to flashing virtuos rom and it worked great.
Try flashing and then comeback here telling us the results.
A quick question: did you flash any kernel before the miui rom you have?
i haven't flashed any kernel or radio before, but have been flashing different ROMs. was bit confused when i read somewhere that for virtuous ROM you need to flash a kernel. Anyway, thanks for your feedback. Let me try as per the steps mentioned by you and see the results..
User30 if you're like me and uncounter a little problem with the Wifi not working or the sound not working either, here's a little trick;
1. go get the .zip here : dev-host.org/k8rsgpxf5o2y/lordmodUEv8.8-ICS-BFS-b7.zip
It's lord kernel, really nice and work fine.
2. Put it on your SD card, *don't extract it*
3. you'll need to clear the cache when you're in the clockwork on ace hack.
4. Install the .zip using the same way that you install your ROMs
if it didn't work here's the modification
1. get the .zip of the Kernel and the one of the ROM
2. Put them on the SD card
3. Make a FULL wipe and be sure to Wipe the cache too
4. Install the ROM.
5. Install the Kernel
6. Everything should work perfectly
I had some problem with some Kernel, no idea why. The one I just gave the link to is working perfectly and didn't had any problem with it. p.S if working with Virtuous Quattro, install the RC1 for now. There is a bug on the wifi on the RC2 and I think they are currently working on it.
Sorry for my bad english btw.
Radio update utility is present in ARHD 6.3.1 thread....hope this will help you to update the radio...i updated with it without any issues..

Hello
1-Why is the picture quality of the Contact, is down?
2-No setting For Gallery ... Why?
Are you speaking about the Virtuous RC1 or RC2. Since it's a RC version and not the complet version it's normal that some stuff ain't working or are bugging.
But as we speak there's more likely some people of the Virtuous working on the rom itself so I guess some of those will be fixed. If you want to keep information about the dev go in the thread about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428047 you'll see all the update you need to follow

Currently have the Modaco R3 ROM which i installed a while ago but now looking to install the Modaco Froyo ROM.
When i first changed the ROM, it was done via this way, http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/
But i have now been told that i can safely do it via ROM manager. Is this correct?
Here is a link to it, http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...d-phone-with-rom-manager-full-backup-restore/
I presume i just copy the ROM file to the SD and select it via ROM manager? Also is it ok if i untick WIPE DATA AND CACHE as i dont want to loose anything?
thanks
Think i may have found my answer, http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/07/how-to-upgrade-your-desire-to-stock-android-2-2-froyo/
The only question is in that guide, the radio is also flashed, do i have to do this?

If the ROM you want to install uses a higher version of the radio you have installed, you should also flash it in order to fully enjoy your new ROM without problems.
You can check which version of radio you have by turning on the HTC using the power and volume - buttons at the same time.
Thanks, all sorted now. Used ROM manager which was really easy.
Hello all,
I am running stock rom rooted, version .5.
Due to some FCs happening I want to reinstall the stock rom.
How should I do it?
I don't really remember..
My phone was unbranded when I bought it.
Just running the RUU of the latest stock rom will do the work?
Or do I have to unroot it firstly?
Also, I have created a partition (ext3 - 512MB) at my sd (8GB - Class 6)..and I would like to be able to install apps there...I think it's called A2SD..
How can I do that?
I am taking a backup with TB and will backup contacts and anything else I need.
Should I take a nandroid backup too?
Additionally, in order to decide which rom would be better for me, is there any way to try custom roms, such as running a virtual android device at my pc?
Thank you for your time!
To use the A2SD+, you need to be rooted.
So you can either run a RUU (unroots your phone - then root it again) or search the Android developement for stock rooted ROMs with A2SD+.
If you choose the 2nd one, just boot into recovery wipe everything and then flash the ROM and then restore everything with Titanium.
Here's a stock rooted one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997
Nandroid is always good, does not hurts when you have a backup
Thank you for your reply!
To start with, I haven't flashed through recovery any rom yet and haven't wiped data, and thus I am really inexperienced with these.
So I could download this ->"2.29.405.2/5 INIT.D ROM v3.0 | v3.1 - NEW!"? (The version .5) with init.d so that I can install the script of A2SD+ ("A2SD+ (1.4) - v3 compatible", right?
Do I have to flash a radio too?
I think I've read here somewhere that if the radio you're having is working properly then stick with it..If I wipe everything will I still have to install a radio?
So if I download this version what are the steps that I should follow?
1)Backup everything I need with TB and nandroid.
2)Copy the file into the root of sd.
3)Boot into recovery.
4)Wipe everything->wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition?
5)And then which option is to flash the rom? The "install zip from sdcard"?
After this procedure what else do I have to keep in mind?
What about this "Additionally, in order to decide which rom would be better for me, is there any way to try custom roms, such as running a virtual android device at my pc?" ?
Yes, that's the ROM, and you will be able to use A2SD+ with the init.d ROM.
Radio is not needed. Even if you wipe everything, it remains, because it is on a different partition. So wiping everything is safe, radio remains.
The steps are good, but before flashing ("install zip from SD Card") make sure you toggle verification off (it's in the same menu) - just in case.
Altough I strongly recommend to run through those custom ROMs, you'll not regret it (If you choose a stable one from a well known dev).
Yeah, the virtual android emulator. Wanted to write about it, but forgot it after searching for the ROM I Know it is possible, never tried it.
Here are some links, tough:

I have flashed the one with the init.d..but into Settings > data I can only see as internal memory 120+MB...
TB though shows the free data on the sd extern..
How can I be sure what is correct? :S
Also I tried leedroid and cyanogen mod for a little..but leedroid was partially tranlsated to greek and cyanogen mod does not have sense which I seem to have got used to it..
Also, about the emulation..I was stuck at a part where I have to create a system.img file of the rom...:S
1. try to do the three wipes.. wipe factory settings, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and then reboot. perhaps you won't have fc's after that.
2. if you run a stock ruu again - you will lose root and s-on will return. this is the way to unroot essentially. check unlockr for details on that. you can use a universal ruu from htc to do that if you have to. but if you try 1. first, then you won't have to do this. i would suggest NOT unrooting just for a few fc's.
you will solve the problem by installing a different rom. now onto that issue about app2sd...
if you want app2sd.. i would suggest looking into data2sd. i'm on rcmix-hd or rcmix-s-w.1.1 and it's very nice. if you want to use data2sd you can also add this feature. pm me about that. one proviso, your sd-card must be a class-6 or higher to really enjoy data2sd ... i have a class-4 and the speed is not bad. but as the card becomes fragmented, i am sure the speed will suffer.
good luck enjoy your desire.
I have done the 2 wipes except the dalvik cache before installing the rom.
I haven't used a stock RUU.
I have downloaded the v3 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997 with init.d support.
I will stick with app2sd because I read that the sd wears off with all that writing :S
About the roms:
Yesterday I checked Leedroid but the thing that I didn't like was the partial localization..
I am using greek language.
Is there any way to solve that?
Also which other roms are more stable and worth the try?
Additionally, at the thread of the ROM I installed it says "Note that framework-res is already deodexed in this ROM".
This means that I can flash any notification bar icon I want and also the super cicle battery mod?
Thank you for your replies!
Anyone please? :S

With a deodexed rom you can apply global themes, fonts and mods.
With an odexed rom this is not possible, unless the mod is appropriately altered.
Hey guys I'm having trouble installing the rom. For some strange reason it will not load and I get stuck on the sammy screen. I used the kernel to see if it helped and it failed :/ . Then i tried to install 1.3 and it worked. But 1.6 doesn't. none of the three do. Has anyone else ran into this problem? Any help would be appreciated "

Hello, I am not an expert, more of a "rom junkie" so take this info however you like. I have tried all of the Hurricane roms so far (up to 1.6) and all have installed without errors. Assuming that your downloads are not compromised and your phone itself is in good working order, there should be no problem installing the roms. I'll give you an example of the procedure I follow just to clarify; First download the desired zip file (rom) to your desktop, hook your phone up to the computer via usb and click open to view files on the list that pops up and leave the box open showing all of the files on your sd card, drag and drop the rom from your desktop to the sd card and unplug the phone, power down and reboot into Clockwormod, wipe data/factory re-set (3x), wipe cache partition (3x), go to advanced, wipe delvik cache (3x). Then go to install zip from sd, choose zip, and select your desired rom from the list and go back a screen and reboot. I find the Hurricane 1.5 fat free to be the best so far but I also added the stock font, some of the optional add ons, and the EC05 modem usin Odin because it seems to work the best for me. Also, for some reason, after flashing any of the 1.6 roms, I cant download my Gameloft games. Sorry if I gave basic info you probably knew already but I can only assume that some basic procedure is being overlooked as these roms install easily. Good Luck!
I think there's a specific post not to install any kernels on this build. The EH17plus kernel from chris41g (sorry if I am crediting the wrong person) seems to cause problems with the Hurricane Rom 1.6 (possibly earlier) The new kevo kernel is working great. The only issue I have is the beeping/vibrating screen flashing when the battery is fully charged...

-Firstly Flash DooMLoRDs ICS Beta Kernel via fastboot OK!
-Boot the phone into recovery OK!
-Perform a Factory Reset OK!
-Wipe cache and dalvik-cache OK!
-Flash the Zip from SD Card in recovery OK
-REBOOT and Enjoy! - Stuck On Kernel Screen / DoomLord Kernel ICS Beta
I'm unsure what to do, all the other roms seem to work well for me.
This rom is built based on KA14 Test Play which does not work for me either, and Cyanogen 9 RC2 is sluggish at games at least for me.
Cyanogen 7 is slow on the menu and all apps always stay in memory.
I just want to add this rom to my collection I.E I make a backup of each Rom and Kernel so I can switch without using a laptop.

Hi , what was your rom before trying to install miui?
It seems so I had two recoveries at that point of which one being the leftover and which is terminated upon forst boot and one in the IcsBeta Kernel. What have I done is used the leftover CWM and that was the error. Anyway I found out this by accident when trying to enter flashmode and I didn't realise the kernel booted. I've flashed this rom using the kernel's touchscreen recovery and that worked for me. Anyway to answer your question it was 2.3.4 stock (.58) Enhanced version v2 anyway considering this is as an ICS ROM I should be able to get to it with any Gingerbread version.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app and Miui v4 - Which IS installed.
Hi guys,
I'm pretty new to this stuff and I'm pretty desperate for some help
Currently I'm on CM 9.1 with the included kernel. I tried to change to other ROMs to see which one fits me best. The problem is, it does not seem to work in any way, i'll try to describe the progress:
+ X10 FlashTool 0.9.10.1
+ Unlocked Bootloader
- I tried to flash some ROMs and kernels, I believe they were SlimBean(latest) LightningCM2(latest) with their recommended kernels, with one kernel the procudure was to flash a ftf first, which I tried but failed, don't know why and didn't save log.
- So now my phone did nothing, I restored it to GB via Emma: developer -dot- sonymobile -dot- com/services/flash-tool/
- Flashed previous kernel and restored backup via CWM
- Back on CM9.1 FXP Kernel
- Tonight I tried to change to XPERIA Ultimate HD 3.0.1 (like 50 times) I took the following steps:
- I used the instructions as described on the thread
HOW-TO INSTALL ROM
For Unlocked Bootloaders: Flash the Recomnend Kernels; Xperia Ultimate Basic Kernel - This one is blazing fast and features an excellent Battery Life in combination with this ROM.
For Locked Bootloaders: Root your phone using this tutorial, than install CWM using this app
Place ROM on SD-Card
Back up user apps and data. (Various apps available, search Google Play. This is a popular one)
Power off phone.
Boot to CWM (Keep pressing the Volume Down key after the Sony logo appears)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Mounts and Storage --> Format /System
Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats
Install zip from SD card > Choose Xperia Ultimate HD
Follow on screen instructions on AROMA.
After Complete Installation untick "reboot" and select reboot in CWM
Give the phone a good full charge, and enjoy your brand new phone!

*Note: Recommended kernel is Vengeance so I flashed this one, the latest(1.32 anzu).
- Booted phone, got sony logo and after that black screen, let it rest for like ten minutes and it went into a bootloop.
- Rebooted couple of times, same result.
- Tried to flash it (kernel & ROM) again, several times, same result.
- Tried it again, but now flashing .587 ftf first, stopped at 13% flashing, no response for like 30 minutes.
- Restored via Emma, Flashed FXP, restored via CWM
- So then I saw the following in the XHD 3.0.1 thread:
I figured out what's wrong with mine.. It's because I came from a GB rom, did a full wipe but still when flash the rom the aroma installer is cut into half..so this is what i did . . .
To anyone having problems/bootloops/FC/ etc you can follow this:
1.Download UHD 3.0.1 rom and your desired kernel (I'm using vengeance kernel)
2.Put UHD 3.0.1 rom and kernel modules on your SD card
3.Flash your kernel using flashtool
4.Flash .587 ftf (specially when you came from GB rom) ... exclude kernel and exclude TA ...after that reboot to CWM
5.Do a FULL WIPE
6.Flash UHD 3.0.1
7.Flash wifi modules of the kernel you are using( recommended kernel is Vengeance)
8.reboot to system
9.let your rom settle for a while(at least 10 min) ..that means don't use touch your phone at first boot (at least 10 mins or so)
10.Enjoy the best ICS rom! (Good job my idol jader )

- It wasn't specificly my problem but I thought, why not give it a try, with ofcourse, same result(stuck at ftf).
And that's it, I searched a lot, but can't find anything because I don't know what the problem is, I guess the kernel?
I hope that someone sees what the problem is and can help me out, I'd be very thankful. I tried to be clear as possible, hope it worked.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Janoee
Re-Download .587 ftf from Zelly Cream Rom thread, u may have downloaded broken ftf! Use latest flashtool to flash ftf to phone! Then follow the directions on ZC thread and try his Rom and recommended kernels! I don't know if this will help but it's worth a try! Hit thanks if it works! Get back if it doesn't! Remember follow all directions to the letter!
Try installing flashtool (latest) again. It shouldn't be the kernel because you can flash an stock ROM and then the kernel w/o problems. Try looking for other .587 tft and verify it is for your device
Try This
Thanks for the effort,
will try these, although i've tried similir methods, I can't get any ROMs to work, only can flash kernel and then restore, nothing else works,
will report,
