Downgrade from 4.1.1 to 2.3 - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. How would I downgrade from Android 4.1.1 back to Gingerbread? I believe 2.2 or just Gingerbread in general is what I'm trying to get. With the new ROMs and Android screwing up my phone I cant get full potential with it. I currently have:
Model Number: Inspire 4G
Android Version: 4.1.1
Baseband Version: 12.39.60
Kernel: JellyTime with AOKP 7
Can anyone explain to me or link me to a video/thread on how to do this correctly? I would normally just re-install Gingerbread over Jelly Bean, but I don't know if I should do that and don't wanna risk bricking my phone.

Well, Download the Gingerbread Rom that you want. Then boot into recovery and wipe all partitions (except sd card) or wipe data factory reset. Then Install Zip from SD Card...which is the Gingerbread Rom...Let it install...Reboot. Done!

Thankyou, but which Gingerbread ROM should I download exactly? I am using the links from the Development List here. I have searched and so far this is the current I will be downloading. Hope im doing the right thing
Edit: I used the Infinity GB and I got an error after wiping my data and applying the update. Any help?

How are You trying to flash it? Check the guide in My signature to make sure that you are not missing anything.

Maybe the .zip is corrupt. Some good Gingerbread Roms are Android Revolution or Virtuous Unity.

Also Sense ICS Roms are fully working and smooth. For example my daily driver...Sabsa Prime.

I would recommend you flash Cyanogenmod 7.2 which is a gingerbread rom.

Can I get stock Froyo on Telus Desire ??

Can I get stock Froyo rom on Telus Desire ?
I have already rooted 2.1 that's on it, if that makes a difference.
I have no interest in running a custom rom since the stock (2.2) one has everything I need...
I'm also wondering the same thing actually.
I've been looking into upgrading to this ROM, since it's claimed to be 'stock':
[ROM] Rooted Official HTC Android 2.2 (FroYo) ROM [Market issue fixed]
It won't let me post a link, but its in the Desire Android Development page
I think that's the one I found but it said you have to wipe...
I just want to upgrade and keep my existing data

I answered my own question.
Modaco (where I'm also premium) has more information on the subject... I rooted a week or so ago and modaco has the stock Froyo with radio and already rooted rom.
So I just downloaded that and applied update, I didn't even wipe before since I didn't want to lose my data.
Anyways problem solved.
also just picked up the desire , on rogers and was hoping to upgrade to 2.2, I had the hero before and it was a little more clear cut back then, but Im not sure to wait for official or just root and get stuff started,
NEed HELP

can any one point me in the right direction how i go about getting the right newest rom and what to do ?
Many thanks in advance
Slightly confused r u saying you have an unrooted phone u want to root?

sorry i ment i have a rooted phone ill edit original post to reflect that
It really depends on what your after, do you want a stock Rom that's updated or a custom
This would be my first destination
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
Read requirements for the Rom u want some require new radio, ext partitions or s-off to work

thanks alot for the reply i think id rather stick with a stock rom thats updated ill check the link out thank u very much
No worries stock roms are at the very bottom

I dunno what you really mean with newest ROM.
Newest rooted stock ROMs don't give your phone much benefits as well as probable additional bugs.
Custom ROMs have more speed, less bloatware, more memory space, additional functionalities, etc. some even with newer android version.
1. I would find a stable custom ROM (not the experimental ones) so that you can have something more for your phone without the probable bugs.
2. The term bugs, it is relative, perhaps you won't be experiencing it like some people do with the respective ROM.

[Q] Stock Advise Apreciated

Have just bought Desire HD but found it has been updated to Ice cold sandwich which appears to be buggy and missing items, so want to return to stock, i have two choices Orange or HTC which i have downloaded from HTC support site, presume HTC should be sim free and without orange bloatware.
I am on orange PAYG anyway so either way feasible and not particullarly interested in rooting at this moment in time.
Installed:
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband Version: 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M

CPU: ARMv7 Processor rev 1 (v70)

Little bit confused by HTC downloads because both downloaded Orange UK and HTC EU version appear to have the same name and size i.e.ace30-gb-mr-2.6.35-931a37e.tar.gz Type: MR Kernal: 2.6.35 V2.3 88.5MB.
This will be my first time to rewrite a rom so any advise from the experienced on here would be very much apreciated.
Well, if it has ice cold sandwhich it is already rooted. Search the thread, see what you like and flash it. Instructions on how to do it are in the first page of each rom/thread.
Sent from a dream.
As said not really interested in being rooted,advise sought on whether to return to HTC stock or orange stock in view of waiting for official stock ICS
Not interested in rooting? you realise thats a custom ROM so your phone is already rooted... Find a nice stable GB ROM, stock is generally terrible imo, I'd recommend Cyanogenmod 7 or MIUI

If you want something that is stock and will get the fastest updates possible (skip the waiting line for OTA, likely will get a leaked late beta of the official ICS OTA), I'd recommend Android Revolution HD 6.3.3.
If stock is what you want then flash an ruu. 3.12.405

You have a Telus P935 phone with the AT&T P930 leaked ICS v18f ROM installed on it. All the P93x devices are identical, so there's nothing wrong with having that installed on that device.
If you want to install custom ROMs, you will need to follow the unbricking guide to downgrade to Gingerbread. From there you can install CWM and then flash to any P93x ROM you want.
If you only want root and you are happy with LG's ICS ROM, then I'd actually recommend that you update your phone to the newest Telus ICS ROM which is improved over the one you have installed. You can root it easily as well, however you can't install CWM from any of the ICS ROMs.

Install USB driver then software update from that page.
After you have the new update, do a factory reset (hold volume down + power button after turning phone off).
Then to root, do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835946

[Q] How To Upgrade?

Hello all, i rooted my HTC one X quite a while ago, and i never fully understood what i was doing.. but now im stuck with an OLDER rom.. that i seem to be having battery issues with + locks up etc.. i'd like to upgrade to a different rom, AOKP? ( spelling? ) but im unsure how to go about it.. as my phone hasn't been updated since i first rooted it.. i also made the mistake of not making a back up of the stock rom.. so i cant re flash it and go back to the original rom, update etc.. if someone would be kind enough to explain how i could do this? i was looking at viper rom at one point but noticed my kernal? was wrong or something was wrong and im also classed as international ( australian ) so yeah... no idea what im doing so could someone post for EG. an AOKP? (spelling ) rom that would work with the australian HTC ONE X and possibly what i have to do to get my phone to the stage i could follow the root ( noobs guide on youtube ) as to update to AOKP. would be much appreciated.
Details about phone:
Android version: 4.0.4
HTC sense version: 4.1
Baseband version: 2.1204.135.20
Kernal: 2.6.39.4-g090b42e
ROM: Android revolution HD 9.7.0 By Mike1986
Please and thank you for ANY help and assistance that you could and or have provided
I assume you mean Android Open Kang Project. Our device's AOKP build is called ice cold jelly and you can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052610
In order to flash it you'll need to update your hboot version.
Please do
fastboot oem readcid
And post the output here.
EDIT: I if you're feeling lazy, I'll be glad to remotely use your PC to flash it.
