Hi guys!
I just had a desire htc hd and wanted to begin to unlock and install a custom rom, but I see that has the following characteristics:
Android Version:
2.3.5
Version HTC SENSE:
3.0
Number Software:
3.12.4051
How do I install a custom rom?
Thanks for help! (I come from a htc hd2)
Is it unlocked? If no then do so.
Install 4ext, rom manager or rom toolbox and make a backup.
Then full wipe from recovery.
Flash/install the rom you downloaded.

You got me with that one. If the ace advance hack kit doesnt work for you you can look into htcdev.com to see if that will help.

first of all i´d advice you that tool, i really love it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180639
just make a goldcard, use downgrade, everything is being done by the tool while downgrading, after it root it, s-off, eng s-off additionally and install recovery. after that you should be able to flash a costumrom
I really couldn't understand what you really are facing and what help you want, however i can tell you the following:
-Make sure you have installed all HTC drivers as required
-Make sure you have installed latest HTC sync
-Make sure you have debugging mode enabled
-Read read read! Read another guide if you need to! Read comments because they have valuable info!
Good luck man!

Heloo,
Ok so my friend's DhD needs rooting and installing custom ROM and I require little help (because he is not very tech guy ). As I understood the procedure for root and custom ROM is with "UMT - Ultimate Multi Tools" and following the instructions which I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180639
-Launch a Downgrade
-Install visionary+ (In visionary+, launch "Temproot", and "Atempt Perm root"). Your device is now rooted!
-Launch S-OFF/Super CID/SIM Unlock
-Install ROM Manager (In ROM Manager, flash recovery)
-Flash HBOOT
-You can install a ROM Custom (I assume via CWM)
Am I missing something or this is it ?

If the phone is already S-OFF, then you just need to flash a custom recovery like CWM or 4ext and then flash the rom you like. Check the guide Teichopsia told you. Is all in there.

Hy,
My Desire HD is root and bootloader is open , but i can't make it s-off i have tried many tools, but always the same problem.
"problem of connexion"?
Plaese help.
Find and use AAHK - its the commonly used tool and works flawlessly if you follow the instructions.
and be sure to have the right driver installed in your pc before do the aahk
Yep, you better use advanced ace hack kit (AAHK) as advised - besides, it containes correct drivers you need. Just follow the instructions in aahk.
PS
Better download it from the official site (google for "advanced ace hack kit shadowchild").
Have you got a link to find the aahk please?

It's the PDF linked in his signature. It's all one file. It's also in post #7 of the Ace Think Tank thread in the DHD General forums.
Well I scored a HTC wildfire Buzz and it's locked to T Mobile.
What should I do with this thing?!!
EG:-
How to unlock?
How to update to something a bit faster than android 2.2.1?
I need a step by step blow by blow way to update this and make it fly...LOL
Cheers

Have a look at this guide which will help you to install Android 4.0.4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955842
these guides might help to root your phone, but not sure that rooting will remove sim-lock.

If you're rooted you could use clockworkmod recovery to backup your current ROM.

Please follow the above guides. I believe they are the simplest guides there is on rooting wildfire, and do read and understand everything before attempting to root.
If you have a question, please first try searching it in the wildfire forums, you are likely to find your answers that way.
Cheers
P.S. - wait, if you are not rooted, how do you have clockworkmod? CWM isn't an application.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using Tapatalk 2
I said I had clockworkmod, I didn't say it worked! and it doesn't without it being rooted.
So before I update I want to backup all the original ROM.
Also if I update will this unlock the device to any network as I have had other windows phones that did?
I just don't want to brick it!!!!
Cheers

okay,I will try to be clear as possible, follow the given guide to root your phone, I used that guide to root mine, and was successful at the first try. so, if you follow that guide word to word, there should be no problems. you'll be rooted within 10 minutes.
while rooting you'll have to reset your phone,so contacts and mssgs will be lost. also keep a backup of your SDcard.
this process will also install clockworkmod recovery, so after rooting you'll be able to backup your current ROM using CWM. after that you can flash any ROM you like.
as for simlock I'm not quite sure rooting will simunlock your phone. there is a thread about this,so please read that.
I hope this answers all your questions, if not, at least some. good luck..!
I will post the link to the guide again.
