Hi there, FYI you're on a developer forum, so you're gonna have to give us more info on what exactly is going on so we can give you the best answers/help.
Is your phone rooted?
Are you running any custom ROM's, Kernels, etc?
Describe the problem your having completely please. The reason being is there is so many different possibilities that we can't possible just throw you some generic link and expect a fix.
If your phone is completely stock, then I'd recommend going back to the place you bought the phone from and explain the problems you're having. They can do one of 2 things, fix your phone for you, or replace it with a working phone (deductible may apply).

Hey guys,
I'm interested in rooting just so I can get tethering working and be able to delete some useless apps but I don't want to get rid of my factory Rom. What can I do? I also have not done the HTC SD update but I want to cause I don't want to spend for a new working SD card.

waiting patiently for the answer to this...
rooting doesn't give you a different rom. a different rom gives you a different rom.

Several users have reported that even after applying the OTA update, they were able to successfully root using toast's method. At the moment, I plan to apply the update and then root when I get my EVO on Monday. Unless something changes before then, it's as good as done.
Alright good stuff. Thx for replies. Do you guys know if that one step root sticks to phone even after boot?
It sticks but your not able to flash roms or do nandroid backups or anything. Your much better off using toasts method.
First thanks to all the gurus here at this amazing website were technology is constantly being challenge and and with good results. I take my hat off to you
I just wanted to bring an issue I am having and hope it can be resolve if not it will be a learning experience, but I know that with so many great people in this website I have no doubt that my issue could be resolve and if not I will continue to try to resolve the problem, I love challenges in the electronic world. I have been in it for the last 27 years.
My situation is the following:
I was able to root my phone, but have 2 questions;
1) Why when I look under superuser I have nothing in my screen?
2) Why I can't have access to my sdcard through HTC Synch even know I have update to the new firmware?
I have try this in different ways, updating to the factory software and then rooting as well as rooting first and then try to update which after thinking about it I think it was stupid of me.
I am sorry about my extended post, but I just wanted to thank you guys for your continous support to all of the cell phone community.
Again thankyou and continue the good work

Hi all, not sure if this belongs here or in the Development forum, but here it lies for now. I've got my fully-stock Evo, I've not yet done the 6.28/6.29 update. It's basically just how I got it on launch day except for the Day 2 SD card update. I've been wanting to get into new ROMs (especially with CM6 building out now), but I want to have a way to get back to where I am now, pre-update.
1. Which recovery image should I keep handy to get back to where I am now?
2. Which is the best method to recover from any rooting/flashing back to stock?
3. I know I need to root, NAND-unlock, and then flash - Which is/are the best tutorial(s) for that?
I'm tech-savvy, I'm comfy with Linux, I'm just new to the scene. Yes, I've read tutorials here and at the wiki, I've searched, but there are so many options and I really feel they're poorly-organized for the newcomer. If you can help, please do or just PM me. If you can't or don't want to, please save your keystrokes. OSS is all about community.
Thanks crew! I want to learn so I can help around here.
Sorry Folks, I'm new to this site/forum, I would like to upgrade my HTC Desire HD to the 4.0 update, which I read/watched is working well. My problem is I'm fairly handy with my phone and somewhat with computers. But I don't see/understand how to actually go about that. I thought I saw somewhere, that I am to factory reset my phone, I can handle that, but I guess what I don't understand, is how I actually get the update ONTO the phone. Do I just go this website and clink on a link from my phone and it will take over? If so, which one, I see links all over the place. Should I remove my memory card? I'm assuming this site is for really phone, computer savy people. I just want to try the update. Would be happy to donate to the site, once I get it going. Can someone please help me. Thanks for everyone's time of reading this. Sorry for my ignorance.
Cheers.

Before screwing your phone read this guide carefully Post #7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824379)
There are also lots of interesting stuff in there so read, read and read.
Hi, its a little more complicated than you suggest in your post.
First you will need to disable the security on your device (known as s-off) and flash a custom recovery.
You need to download the rom you wish to install and save it to your sd card. See here for a list of custom roms, there is a section for Android 4.0:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610483
Boot the phone into recovery, wipe you phone data and factory reset then install the rom.
You can use this to unlock the phone and flash clockworkmod recovery:

Do loads of searching this forum and googling so you fully understand the process as there is a chance of bricking your phone if it goes wrong. If you do your homework, are methodical and computer savy as you mentioned you should be fine.
Good luck!
Thanks, But...think I'm screwed.
Thanks Guys for your help, but I think this is way beyond me. Its not that I'm lazy, but I can't see myself reading tons of posts and researching for days to do this. I'm having a hard time even finding relevant info that pertains to what I'm trying to do, links and stuff everywhere. Doesn't seem like a lot to ask for to have a step by step guide. You know what I mean ie: Step 1, Factory Reset, Step 2, download this file Step 3. Run it etc... Oh well, I will just suffer with this phone, and probably get stung getting out of my contract early and get a Samsung G3 or something. I had thought this was as easy as factory resetting my phone, downloading a thing or two and then just running it. Too bad there wasn't a store or place I could take this to, to get it done properly by people in the know. Would gladly pay to have this done.
Thanks.
Everything you need is in the link and guide glevitan gave you. But you do need to read. If you don't want to, the rooting and flashing isn't for you.

Hi guys, first off im a user of Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 and swapped it to a 2nd hand HTC Desire HD. To make it short, i want to learn every single thing about this device as how i knew my beloved SGSL. I've read almost all guides for newbies and it helps me alot.
Just want to clarify these questions of mine.
1. What is RUU?
2. A little confused about hboot/fastboot. Cause in my past device there is only Recovery and Download mode wherein in Recovery you wipe cache/dalvikflash custom rom through zip and Download mode is needed when flashing stock rom using ODIN.
3. We use Odin in my SGSL in flashing stock roms. How about here?
4. Is there an internal to external SD swap here? So datas of games will go to external sd card?
5. I want my HTC HD in stock AGAIN. What should i check first before doing anything? After checking whats next?
6. Cant find a list of stock roms here? What do you guys use? the codename like DDLF2 XXKPQ like that.
I'm really sorry. I know you how i feel now, im feeling excited while making this thread at the same time nervous of negative comments and a feeling of unwelcomed in this community. Please bare with me, not a SO NOOB in android and i am a fast learner. Thanks and Godbless to everyone!
Anyone? Please held a hand?
Have you read the Ace Think Tank thread OP? If not, I advise that you do so. Come back if you still have questions.
EDIT: please also only bump once every 24 hours under XDA rules.
Yes ive understand though still have quesions unanswered there. I now understand that RUU is the app used to go back to stock firmware right. So, should i use that first sir? coz i want to start from gingerbread stock and learn everything up ahead. Im from Philippines so maybe i should use latest WWE RUU? Is there no pre requisites in doing this? Thanks for the response. Appreciated.
I recently bought a new HTC One M9 from Ebay brand new, the listing said it was unlocked and gsm. Unfortunately this was not true, so when i finally got it I had to unlock it myself which i managed but i went further and wanted to root my phone, as far as rooting after the step to install Team Win Recovery Project, I followed this tutorial: (youtube.com/watch?v=rOHN8byHAzk&t=941s) and basically im like all the other guys who have their phone stuck in bootloader loop, i've tried the RUU exe's from HTC they end up giving me a "Signagure" (spelt that way) error so i cant use that, i've cycled through multiple micro sd cards to try get the stock os to install in the download boot. i've getting roms they dont work and the loop just continues. Im lost guys...and heartbroken with a new uselss phone...IM WILLING TO PAY(within reason) anyone that can help me to get my phone back to normal.
The phone was from USA under Sprint, I tested my GSM network when I had it unlocked and it worked, I dont care if I can only get it back on Sprint, I just want it working again. Again I'm willing to Pay the person via PayPal to Help me out.
Thank you. you can contact me at [email protected]
Never ever follow video tutorials. They're outdated as soon as they get uploaded.
Depending on the firmware version of your phone you need different files for rooting your M9. That's why you ended up with a bootloop. The video doesn't give you that information.
Take a look at the ReadMe thread. It should explain all you need to know and contains all files you might need for recovering your phone.

THank you for replying im still busy looking for help on how to do this, I stand by my promise i will PayPal anyone that can help me save my device, I consider myself tech efficient in general, im just new to android - this is my first andeoid.
As said before, just look at the ReadMe thread. A bootloop isn't the end of the world. There's no need to pay anyone at this point since all files and information you need are available for free.
