how to install rom for bootrom 0.80

Hi! all. i've read up abt rooting & installing custom ROM for desire. attempting to root it soon but would like clarification on custom ROM installation. i read up at the unlockr.com & the vidz shows how to install ROM to desire but it mentions in its step & vidz that i need a file call recovery-windows.bat in the rooting zip file but i don't see it in my rooting zip file which i've downloaded. is this because the procedure is different? if yes, then is there a tutorial for install rom for bootrom 0.80?
Also read that after rooting & installing ROM, the camcorder function doesn't seem to work. is this true?

Follow the instructions in this guide for installing a 2.1 based ROM with bootloader 0.80:

The camcorder not functioning was an issue on Froyo 2.2 based ROMs, but this has now been fixed.

2nd'd that thread helped me out alot as rooting the Desire is a definate change to rooting the G1
Just make sure you double check if you have a unbranded or branded Desire!

[Q] Getting started, with.... everything.

Hello,
I have a Desire HD, and I am looking to root, however, I have some concerns,
(I'm hoping that a list is not too boring!)
1. I have the 1.72 update
2. I have no idea, whatsoever on how to back up my current config, without rooting my device (and possibly loosing everything)
3. How to root using visionary? ....
4. Installing ROM When finished?
5. Is there some sort of start to finish n00b proof guide?
Thanks,
T

Hi,
you're on 1.72 so you need to downgrade first.
Follow this excellent guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
After this you have 1.32.405.3 Stock firmware and you're able to root using visionary+.

Ok, so after that, could i install MIUI First, straight off?
Or do i have to go to stock first?

After downgrading and rooting, you have to set ENG S-OFF and Radio S-OFF and then you can flash MIUI.
Please read the guides @ Android Development Forums.

[Q] Help please! Need to ROOT HTC Desire HD with firmware 2.50.405.2

Help please! Need to ROOT HTC Desire HD with firmware 2.50.405.2. The downgrade guides are only for 2' 3.x but not 2.5.x. is there any way that I can downgrade my firmware version or root my phone? I so badly want to do it. Thanks.

Take a look at the Android Development section and you will find this guide and also this guide.
My advice would be to read through it thoroughly and only once you understand what you need to do should you go ahead and flash the ROM.

But i dont know how to flash the font onto my device or change the font. Are there any guides for htc desire hd?

I have root and S-OFF but missing su after 2.50.405.2 OTA upgrade, any who can help to get su back?

I don't think you have root already after the OTA Update.
You have to downgrade or reroot your Device. Then you can flash this Stock rooted ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059563
SU is available on the Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su

@Audiavant - the latest OTA does remove the Root that you previously had as Command_HDX has said. You've gotta follow the downgrade guides in the links I posted above.

How can I browse my internal/local disk with out root?
I can see/browse, copy and edit all files on internal storage?

[Q] Rooting Desire Z GB

I've just bought a Desire Z, but it run 1.82 firmware... I seen some guides about rooting and downgrading but they don't talk about 1.82 firmware but just about 1.72 . How can I root it and flash a recovery??

Follow the same guide as 1.72, that should work.

[Q] How to Downgrade desire hd?

Hello everyone,
I want to root my desire hd but to do that I need to have Froyo on my desire hd. I readed a few guides to downgrade the desire hd but for all of them i need to have Advanced Ace Hack Kit. Now since that has been discontinued i don't know how to downgrade it. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Why do you need to downgrade?

Because i want to root my desire hd. and you need to downgrade to froyo to root it.

thanks for your reply but the only problem is that i can't download the PD98IMG.zip in the thread because I'm getting a survey.
Do you know where i can download it?

The only way aside from the retired AAHK is to unlock the bootloader. You don't need to downgrade to do that.

I messed for ages with the hack kit but there doesnt seem to be a reliable download for the PD98IMG.
Use HTDEV to unlock hboot
Fastboot flash a recovery
Use recovery to install a custom rom
Fastboot flash the roms boot.img (extract from the rom zip)
Hope this helps
Stu

thanks for your replies but I fixed it. I just downloaded a froyo RUU and now I have froyo and its rooted.
