Hi,
Being a bit of a noob I jumped at the chance of installing Ice Cream Sandwich to my HTC Desire HD without reading the blurb. There are a couple of things that if I had read I would have held out from Primo-S - v3.4 [HTC One V port] Android 4.0.3 [Sense 4.0A].
I was wondering if someone could help me revert my mobile back to it's normal unbranded Gingerbread ROM please?
Many thanks
(let the abuse roll towards me)

Try using search before you ask a question that has been asked at least once a week since the Desire HD got root. Also questions are for the Q&A section. Not general.
To save you the trouble of searching (which coincidently is XDA's first rule), I'll break it down.
Find a RUU (Rom Update Utility) that corresponds to the firmware that you had before. Download it.
Ensure you have the correct HTC drivers installed, install HTC Sync to be sure.
Run the RUU, follow the prompts.

ok firstly my mistake, i have a locked t-mobile Htc Desire, then root it, then install a custom rom then install stock RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed
then run software udate and you have a stock 2.2 rom result.
well done...
<slow hand clap>
Thread is pointless really.
A) Your title and content is completely wrong and how could you not know this when you posted originally and B) The actual rom details etc is well known to most people as there are already plenty of threads here and other forums with same info.
Wake up dude.
This thread should be torched by the mods before too many T-Mo users think this guy is a genius.
Hi All,
Please bear with me - I'm a late Desire joiner.
I've been reading the Froyo update threads but haven't found an answer.
Phone is UAE version, Arabic and English, and has ROM v 2.1xx on it.
The updater says there is no update.
How can I download the stock HTC 2.2 ROM, please?
All help much appreciated.
OK - I've been to the HTC website and 2.2 is not available for my phone - I guess that this is because they haven't got around to the Arabic yet!
So, I'd like to install a UK English version of 2.2 - where can I get it?
Check you screen
Hi,
Im a fellow newbie HTC Desire user. I just rooted my Desire now running on custom ROM. I think you need to check first if you have SLCD or AMOLED screen. Most RUUs are not compatible with SLCD Desire phone.
You can re-direct to Informative Threads, Links & Info - READ THIS FIRST ! thread and refer to [ROM] Official HTC Desire RUU ROMS and OTA Update URLs.
Hope this helps.
Many thanks.
I've installed roms before on my WinMo phones quite happily.
But, this time I'd like to stay with the stock rom from HTC, so I just want to upgrade to 2.2 for the improved functionality ........ I think I need to fool HTC into thinking that the phone is in the UK and it will upgrade OTA?
Hmmm ..... whwre to download the official HTC Froyo?
all RUUs in the link are authenticated by HTC = not custom ROM. Just download the RUU for your region and then upgrade to 2.2 via OTA. Just confirm first that you have AMOLED screen. As i said, most RUUs are not compatible with SLCD screens.
Right, thanks, I'm beginning to understand.
How can I tell if my phone has the amoled screen?
Thanks for your patience!
np
Just a heads up, it might take a while installing ROM on your Desire (30 minutes or so) so dont panic if you see the HTC logo with white background for a while.
OK, I'm getting closer to doing it - maybe at the weekend.
How do I know which type of screen it has?
Hi,
You can follow the procedure in one of the threads here. Also, normally, most phones sold after Aug 2010 are all SLCD screens.
However, I advise you to just sent an email to HTC Customer Service to be 100% sure (this is what i did).
I do believe that if you are upgrading to Froyo then screen type doesn't matter because it has both sets of drivers anyway. Also I think there is a list of official download find in the developers section of this site.;0-)

Hi, I am new here and i need some help.
I want to install new rom with sense 3.0 on my htc desire hd, but I don't know how.
software information: Android version 2.3.3
Sense version 2.1
Software number 2.50.111.5
Hi
As I know there is not an Offical Update to Sense 3 for DHD
you'll need to root you device and flash a costum ROM.
for that you'll need to get to the Development Section - I've posted link of the FAQ section and there you'll need to read a-l-o-t before you'll take any action with your device:

Enjoy Reading! and if you got other question i'm suggesting read all of the posts there and you'll get your answer.
I did a ARHD upgrade using a "long" way; reading a lot of stuff, gathering a lot of tools and stuff. The upgrade task was a quite easy and quick operation after all, but before the first one you just don't know what to expect.
There is one tool which advertises to do all pre-reqs (s-off, root, clockworkmod, supercid if needed etc) in one step:

Hi all,
Very new to this forum and android. Last december 2010 I got a new Desire HD which I have started using now lol!!! previous phone was a nokia n96!!
This there a voting list for custom roms for the Desire HD to see which rom's are mostly installed by fellow members.
I have had my phone unlocked by t-mobile, I really want to install a custom rom, currently it has 1.72.
not sure which is the best if any rom to install. I have been looking at Android Revolution HD 6.1.5 which seems good to me.
your help and feedback on this topic would greatly be appreciate.
many thanks
install rom
having your phone unlocked won't allow you to install custom roms, your phone has to be rooted with s-off before you can install roms, there are tutorials in this forum on how to do this and what software you need ie aahk, multitool etc. also search is your friend but do read the tutorials then read them again.
[Poll] which rom do you have
Threads like this only lead to flame wars. A search would have showed you this.
Thread closed
thank you very much for your help

Hello and welcome to XDA!
First of all, you need to learn how to root your phone. This can be a tricky process, but you will find many helpful people here.
After you do that, you can install different Android versions on your phone, also called ROMs.
The 4.0 version of Android, known as Ice Cream Sandwich, is currently in Alpha stage, so you might want to wait a few weeks/months until it gets more stable. Until then, you can try many of the ROMs in the Android Development section.
I'll come back with some links to tutorials
Edit: As promised, here are the two guides which I consider are easy enough for a newbie to consider:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928160
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833965
I would recommend thoroughly reading the guides, making sure you understand *everything* and informing yourself about ADB and rooting first, though. Remember, Google is your friend.
The reason is that if you mistake something, you might end up with a nice HTC-branded paperweight. But follow the steps as written and read beforehand about what you are doing, and you'll be a-OK.
