So, as the title states, how do I make it as close to stock as possible? A couple of years since I was in the Desire rooting game so I'm a little out dated.

it's not really an answer to your question, but i sold my desire a week ago via ebay, and i made it clear, that there's 4.0.4 installed right now, and it really works great and everything's smooth. i made it clear that HTC themselves never supported the desire for 4.0.4, and that's what people got interested in the auction via ebay. at the end, i got around 145 EUR for a more than 2 year old device. the new owner mailed me the other day and he's as happy as i was. so depending on where you plan to sell it, you won't have to go back to stock, but of course it's your decision. and also, it's a matter of warranty, which i didn't have anymore after 2 years
good luck.

If you really want to get it back to stock, flash alpharev downgrade via fastboot and run 2.3 RUU from your PC.
You will get s-on and unrooted device with latest software that HTC released.
Thanks for both your replies.
horst0815: Which ROM did you flash? That sounded really interesting
nlooooo: Thanks, will check how the phone runs with ICS, if it's not that good I will downgrade it
Are currently running LeeDroid HD V3.3.3 Gingerbread 2.3.3 and it's GSM by the way.

if ur planing on selling the phone with custom rom on it, imo i would put something alot more rock solid/stable on it rather than ICS. Also i personaly would do what nlooooo says and put it completly back to stock/s-on that way whoever buys the phone cant come back to u if they do something to it. let them s-off & root it themselfs.

as far as rock solid goes: i made fantastic experiences with mildwild 4.3 final. it doesn't get any more stable than that. here's the link
as far as my ics version goes, i used sandvold's ics from here

I think I'd like to get a sense ROM, cause sense is more user friendly, maybe not for us but for less experienced people. Which should I choose then?

Hi,
Preferably, I'm looking for a HTC Desire HD ROM or something that has the new HTC Sense on it with APP2SD functionality, It must be Clean Stock (meaning no customization) and must be Stable to use with no or little lag. The Android version should be 2.2 or above and OTA update be operational (not required).
I have stumbled upon some ROMS, that match my specifications, however I want to know your experience with it. Common Bugs, how is it for everyday use? blah blah etc...
- RCMixHD v0.15 1
- DHD Rom Port by baadnwz v1.7c
- ۵.AuraxTSense v8.2 HTC Sense 2.2
- ۵.ReflexTSenseHD v1.5.1 DHD port
- RCS Touch v06
I want to be able to flash a new rom without any fuss, but I do not believe this likely to happen.
Here are my device specs:
Code:
BRAVO PV1 SHIP-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-01d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
-Android 2.2
-T-MOBILE UK - Branded
-Not-Rooted
-4GB Micro SD Card (GoldCard)
Before any tells me to do my research and check the entire forums and says it all depends on your desire, well the whole point of the thread is to give me guidance on what to do next and then summarize your points and experience.
If any more information is require, please tell me so.
Thank you.
Little Bump. No one?
Root
Flash Baadnewz 1.7c
EOD
root read , read again , check the threads of the roms u want to try , download rom , instal and if you like keep it if not repeat from (Check)
regards
baadnewz has to be the quickest most lag free hd rom
Forget hd if you want zero lag just stick to standard Sense or aosp gingerbread.
I've tried Alex V HD which is very good but not zero lag and heard lots of good news about baadnewz.

its got a memory leak and is sluggish after time
First of all - root it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044).
Second - S-Off (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805811).
Need help? Search xda and google, google, google!
Then - READ ALOT about the different roms, apps/data2sd, recovery images etc etc and choose the one you like most. Search for youtube videos of the roms you like.
Pay attention - some roms work only with specific radio versions. Most roms require (or at least suggest) performing a full phone wipe (including davlik cache), so don't forget to backup EVERYTHING before you start (including contacts, sms, mms). AND NEVER EVER REBOOT / DISCONNECT CABLE WHEN FLASHING!

I was leaning towards this rom, good job you told me this.
Also, please guys, although I appreciate your guidance I am not new to flashing etc and do not want instructions on 'how to root, flash, S-OFF and S-ON'. If you read my question, all I want is your opinions/views on what ROM is good enough to meet my specifications as well as your experiences. I do not want to keep flashing my phone, that's another reason why this thread was created. And Please no 'SEARCH GOOGLE, XDA FORUMS', and choose what you like. I will research the ROM that I have narrowed down, helped suggested by you guys and then Check if it's good to go. I know some of you will find me arrogant, which is not the case.
Keep your suggestions coming in...
Thank you.
youve picked the roms you want to try , why dont you try them and find out for yourself.
and no i dont find you arrogant more lazy
I'd recommend Baadnwz. I found it to be one of the quickest!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Most of you guys are suggesting 'badnewz', tell me your experiences with it.
...Or shall I just flash a unbranded Stock ROM and Root and Partition the SD?
Thanks
EDIT: What do you guys think of this ROM 'Ginger Villain 0.8?
I was using gingervillian 0.8 for awhile and found it to be very good, however as only the nexus s is running gingerbread officially, I found there are some apps that I need that won't work.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Now I'm thinking of flashing to the standard HTC Stock ROM and ROOT+APP2SD...
I'd recommend teppic's stock ROM + updates. Why ? Because the author updates it regularely and has offered lots of optional addons, meaning the ROM is not a "try to please all so im stuffed with all imaginable crap" one.
So i'm planning on Rooting my Desire (Bravo PVG1 SHIP -SON, HBoot 0.93 , Radio 5.11.05.27)
Any recommendations? i was thinking about CyanogenMod 7.
Other thing i would like to ask is Gold Card, do i really need to make it? I'm asking because i dont have second sdhc card.. im not sure if i have any brandings in my phone.
Thanks in advance.

Awesome! Right, before you do anything download this:

It's the RUU of the stock ROM so should you ever need to go back to stock you can.
As for what ROM to start with, a lot of people suggest LeeDroid as it's an easy introduction to a rooted ROM yet still has Sense. Not sure how up-to-date it is these days, mind
My first ROM and still using it, is LeeDroid and I havent even bothered to look at others, it works perfect, very fast and give you A2SD+.

LeeDroid is kinda outdated, why not try some GB(Gingerbread) Roms?
Depends if the person likes Sense. I do so having tried the (buggy) 2.3 ROMs available I'll be waiting for a Sense-based 2.3 ROM
Gingerbread roms are fine really. Working for me no problem.
I think there should be a dedicated thread about roms because this is prob the 100th thread on what rom should I choose or what ever this week. Seriously.
I just successfully rooted and installed my first custom Rom (LeeDrOiD 2.3d).
Much <3 for all the help!
Cheers.

Hello all,
I like many others, I have installed the new GB ROM from the RUU supplied by HTC and it is "OK". However, i would like something else.
I have seen many guide to install ROMS and it seems more or less clear.
My problem, and maybe the problem for other noobs if the fact that there are so many ROMs out there. It is difficult to know which one to take.
For example, I am looking for plain old stock android 2.3 for the desire. No sense, no extra HTC apps. Just what google would have on the nexus 1. But, I cant figure out which ROM fits that.
Any ideas?
What would be great is sticky which lists the ROMs and their main features for all us noobs. Unless there is one already and I didnt see it
Get Oxygen Rom mate its nice and basic , if u want to go too basic get DevNull
But for starters i think u shud go with oxygen
Pm me if u want to discuss any other details

Well, if you installed official Gingerbread 3.14.405.1 RUU, you can't get root (yet). No root means that you can't install custom rom.

watch the video tutorial too - but it sounds like you want an AOSP rom
Yup, you definitely wanna try Oxygen + it was recently updated to Android 2.3.5.
It's sense free, all bloatware removed, very fast & minimalistic.
http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=149 (it wasn't updated on XDA yet, but you can download it from there)
CyanogenMod7 will also fit you.
Should have read into what you were doing before you updated. You can't root now, which means no custom ROMs for you. HTC updated HBOOT so no more rooting for the time being. You're stuck with it till someone cracks it. Unlucky dude.
My recommendation:
Sense (2.1+3.0) : InsertCoin 1.0.9
AOSP: Oxygen
no MIUI from me...sorry..
Thanks for all the replies. I am pretty sure it is only a matter of days or weeks at most until I can root. I recall the same situation last update.
It sounds like oxygen is the way to go. Once the root is available I will give it a shot. Thanks.
newbie here to all this..
last week I finally rooted my DHD to turn s-on to s-off and after days of reading post after post I finally got it done, anyway whilst doing this it has now downgraded my phone software to an older version. 2.3.3 sense 2.1
can someone point me in the right direction to where I can download the stock updated rom for this phone or is there a custom rom that's even better than the stock one that I could use.? ive been looking in the Android Development section but there's way too many to go through & I don't want anything to fancy just stock HTC looking will do just great.. plus I don't want to run the risk of bricking the phone as im very new to this sort of thing so can do without trying different roms out as I was happy with the HTC look of the phone... and is it easy to upgrade as its taken me near on a week of reading to find the b*lls to root it.. LOL

Best thing if you want Stock ROM is Android Revolution HD, BEST stock based ROM (Sense 3.0, 2.3.5 Gingerbread)
Although you might like to experiment with other Android versions, like AOSP (exactly as Google intended it), AOKP (slightly modified), CyanogenMod (Different thing altogether) or even MIUI (if you like the iPhone's simplicity)
So far everything I've read here pertains to the GSM version. Am I still fine going ahead with what is posted? I read a thread on not using the hboots for GSM (idk what hboots are haha). Can someone dumb this down for me a bit? Switching over from the Mesmerize (horrible data drops on anything 2.3+ due to bad hardware, and samsung ditching the issue and not issuing a recall), everything was a much simpler process. Thanks in advance guys!!

Install a CDMA ICS/ JB from here:

Anything to prep it for it? It's on stock 2.2. Also that rom looks a bit iffy, I think I've seen one that records 720p fine and plays it back as well.
I got the ROM you posted to work... but is it the only one? I'd prefer one that is more stable and for the CDMA Desire.
There aren't too many roms for the CDMA version of the desire.

Any kitchens available for bravoc? I have the feeling the roms for bravo and bravoc are identical, except for radio and hboot.

They aren't identical. The two phones have slight hardware differences.
So I've found no functional roms for bravoc that are functional out of the box... croniccorey's works after the fixes... any idea if it is possible to port an ics/jb rom with a cm7 base?
