su stands for superuser which us the command you use to gain root access.
Root is similar to administrator access on a windows PC. It let's you have access to certain portions of the filesystem you wouldn't normally have.
CWM is a tool that comes with a great backup tool called nandroid that will allow you to backup and restore your phone roms and settings. CWM can clean and fix some things that could be wrong with your phone, allow you to flash updated, custom roms, scripts, radios, kernels, etc.

You WILL need CWR to root. If you use the search in the development thread you can find a DL for it. I would stay away from the touch version but that's just my opinion.

Ok heres my update,
I used followed the instructions from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514434
I can get into CWM (non-touch) and I have the Superuser-3.0.7-d-signed.zip on my external SD Card.
when I am in CWM and goto install zip from SDCARD, I have only the lost dir.
Why wont this file show up??? that is the question and yes I have verified the file is ON the SD Card.
thanks for all the help!!!
Ciao~
try moving everything to your internal sd card, then install from there.
I almost included that, but NO I choose internal SD
edited my post.....
now when you say everything, are you just talking about the superuser file? becasue that is the only item I have on the External SD Card.....and yes I did use external SD card...but will try using the internal now.

You should have two options in CWM...to choose zip from SD card and external SD card. Just navigate to external.
Make sure it says choose zip and not update.

OK so what u need to do is this u can do it one of two ways A) u can use Odin to flash a custom recovery such as twrp or cwm, then use that recovery and flash the superSu.zip until it says its installed, to do this u need to place the zip file in the root of ur sdcard that means directly on ur internal sd, not in a folder, then flash from there, this is of course if u want to stay on ur stock rom and root it... Or u can do it the easy way and B) use Odin to flash a custom recovery such as twrp ( I reccomend twrp as it's more user friendly) then flash an already rooted custom ROM of ur choice, obtaining root on this device is very easy, I suggest B as its a lot easier for a new user to just Odin the recovery to the phone then flash a ROM...let me know if u need help I'll do he best I can

Is it possible for me to change a, . Exe file to a, . Zip file?
Generally, no. But I know 7zip ( http://www.7-zip.org/ )can extract the contents of many executables as if they were a zip. What is this for?

It's probably not too wise to flash an .exe file to your phone. That's a windows executable file and this is Android.

Hey kingtnutt,
What are you trying to do with the .exe file? Do you need to extract it to pull files from it? More details would help.
If the .exe is a "self-extractor" it would probably work to change the extension to .zip and then extract it. It may not, though.

Ok, sounds like you have a self extractor. Follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835033
Sounds like you're trying to install a One-click update.
There are instructions for installing via Mobile Odin here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229
See the 'Android Section'
sfhub and rwilco12 have done a bang up job of putting up detailed install instructions.
Take some time and really read throught the posts, watch Qbking77's videos and then re-read the posts AND follow ups. Or you could end up with a shiny fishing lure.
Why not use PC Odin? Especially if you're just starting out. Might save you loads of trouble.
Good luck

Unfortunately those one-clicks are compiled in such a way that they can't be extracted. You have two options to flash it, Odin or Mobile Odin.
Out of curiosity, why would you want to convert it to a ZIP?

K. The good news is that these one-clicks make flashing with a ZIP look almost impossible. You seriously plug your phone in and press the start button in the one-click and you're done (that's over-simplifying but you get the idea). Check out the instructions in the OP and it walks you right through it.
If you still want to use a zip Crawrj has the fh23 rom here

Hi!
I had tried to root my Desire HD and somehow got it stuck on the splash screen the other day.
I've been searching for a long time but I couldn't find a zip file for a stock ROM for the WWE Desire HD. I did try the RUU's but they ended up with errors saying it's already updated.
I thought I found one and ended up flashing this :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507
which is actually the At&t ROM.
Would really help if someone could give me a link for the zip!
Have you looked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610483? Also, what are you trying to do, run a RUU or root your phone?

4pda.ru has detailed instruction. Truing to translate...:
1. Download the original firmware.
2. Run it.
3. Accept the "agreement"
4. Go to C :/ Users / YourComputerUsername / AppData / Local / Temp
5. In this folder, locate the file rom.zip. The file can not be directly in the root of the folder and subfolders.
6. Copy this file to wherever you want. Copy should be while installer running, or at the close installer the firmware file will be deleted.
7. Close the installer
8. Rom.zip file can be renamed to PD98IMG.zip to flash STOCK firmware without BB method radio. This could be useful if you have not installed HTC Sync, or there is a problem with the connection between your computer and phone.
hel it doesnt prompt me to install anythiing, it apparently reads the zip file but trhows a bunch of errors... my phone was on froyo before ig got stuck on the splash screen

or the name of the file is not correct (check that it is exactly PD98IMG.zip) or your sdcard is corrupted, so try using a different one. Anyway, you can try flashing the RUU from fastboot usb.

I have flashed AT&T touchwiz based roms before without issues. Im not sure if the same could be done with AOSP. I would say try it, but i dont want to be help accountable if your device implodes.

I do everything straight from my phone using ROM toolbox app. I just advised to use a PC so that you would not need to extract the Rom and just go straight to editing the update script file, but it can be done from our phones.
Really not that hard. Whatever ROM you have. The .zip file needs to be extracted then follow my steps one page back. Then use ROM toolbox to compress the extracted folders back to a zip then flash done.
Maybe I can make a picture guide but only if there is demand for it not going to waste my time if not.

Thank you bro. Thats what we are here for to help each other lol. By the way Is that JellyBam after you changed the files. Have you ran into any bugs? How is the call quality and do you have echo?
just thought id share that i done exactly what g1master said and it worked flawlessly. all i had to do was change the d2att in the first lines to d2tmo and it worked fine. i used notepad++ to make the changed btw

BlackNotes Hybrid ? you cannot flash this ROM you can only Advance Restore it.
I think you need to extract the entire files in to your SD and Wipe..Clear..Format etc and choose Advance Restore (after locating the file in CWM)

Not sure what´s so funny about this.
Hm well if you chose the rom you want to flash and start flashing there should appear something like" flashing" and "done" finally. Sometimes nothing appears because it´s up to the one who created the flashable zip what will apear while flashing a rom. After the flashing is done it will of course return to CWM. Then you either need to flash gaaps too or simply reboot your device.
