Hi
I am locked on Three and have issues with storage (using about 3GB but tells me i am using 24GB) and I understand that the update to 1.29 should resolve this.
I have been reading around and trying to figure out the safest and simplest way to do this but I must admit to feeling a bit overwhelemed with the different options and possible steps.
I have never rooted a phone before (if that is what I need to do) and would appreciate it if someone could advise what the minimum is I need to do to allow we to get updates without relying on Three?
Thanks
I guess your best bet is to root it and flash a custom ROM.

Use Joe's link to root it. I can personally recommend you ARHD as the ROM.

These type of questions belong in Q&A, not development.

None, if you run any ruu.exe you will lose root. Instead you have to flash a stock rooted ROM. All ROMs are available here.
thank you for the response. sorry i put it in wrong section.

Honestly the latest Flipz and Damage ROMs aren't too far from stock root... they just have improvements.
Hey guys,
I have Desire HD for like a year I guess, and I have never tried to update stuff and jailbreak (root) it or anything..
After a long time I feel that I need to have a little refreshment for my phone and do something with it.
A friend told me that if I would update it to Sense 4 it will be just great.
and thats what i want to do, to update my phone to Sense 4.
I dont want any other ROMs that people made, just the normal HTC Sense 4.0/4.1
Can you guys help me out and tell me how can I do that?
BTW. current sense version is like 2.1 or something.
Thanks, Ori.
Sure. You'll need to buy another htc phone to get what you want.
Any rom you find here will be ported from another device. The most you'll be able to get from your carrier/htc is sense 3.0, go over to the website, download the ruu, follow the instructions.

Well, first you need to root. Read the PDF guide in post #7 of the Ace Think Tank thread for detailed instructions. After you do that, Venom DHD will work for your phone, as will all ROMs in the DHD and Inspire 4G forums.

I strongly advise that you do not use a video. AAHK comes with an extremely clear, detailed manual; if you read it thoroughly and make sure you understand it, you won't have any problems at all.

i second that. i cannot stress the importance of thoroughly reading the 'effen maunel'.
there is no 'official' htc provided ics and sense 4/.1 rom for the htc desire hd. however, developers have managed to port these roms from other devices, as well as includeing additional features. the aahk will make your phone rooted and s-off. if you are on android 2.3.5(and maybe others, in not sure) it will run twice, first to downgrade the software, and then to root and s-off.
personally, my favourite sense 4.1 rom is sabsa prime(very very stable and some nice additional functionality).
it's probably a good idea to read a bit about how to use a custom recovery and flash roms etc
have fun! :good:
Hi Guys,
I need a help with rooting my new Chinese Phone. Official name is 820.
It's a 1 GHz Rheastone processor with Android 4.1.1. More details here in attachment.
Any ideas which app should I use to root this non-branded phone?
Also can you advise a custom ROM?
Any help appreciated.

No, not yet. I was waiting for some advise. Actually the reason why I want to root it is mainly the poor battery life. I'm hoping to freeze some unnecessary apps and processes. Anyway thanks for the hint. I was planning on trying One Click Root.
From my experience one click root does not work on chiniese phones (at least those which i got). GL - i hope you have some succes!

System recovery needed.
Hi Guys,
Does anybody have a system recovery file for this phone? I didn't make one for myself and now my system is broken and I have no options for recovery.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi Swarnava, I just rooted using AAHK2 by Phiber2000, it was a piece of cake!

I'm still looking at what to do next, but followed advice in the same thread to install the TWRP recovery. This seems easy to use and i'm about to install my first ROM. Wish me luck, eh?!

If you are not experiencing the issue, then there is no need to flash.
If however you take the plunge and install TWRP, you will probably need this.

I tried to be clear that this was for the tutorial, not needed for you...yet.
If you are going to flash a ROM, even via FlashFire, I believe that you will trip Knox. Same with a custom kernel. (Joe, can you ask a dev?) That said, if flashing a ROM is in your future or if you want to include this in your tutorial, then you might as well flash and use TWRP. And if you flash TWRP, you should flash the patch.
Joe, I hope to see you on the Dark Side soon...we have cookies! (And some pretty cool ROMS!)
