Hi,
I have HTC Desire HD mobile, with official HTC RUU ROM, I would like to root this device without losing this official release. Can anyone help Me in this?
As previous I installed other ROM, Revolution 7.1 , but My Camera Result was disturbed which I liked the most in DHD, so I revert it, and now I wanted root access in this Official Release,
as Ace kit is not working for this version, and force me to downgrade it first.
Advance thanks to you guys.

Hello,
I'm planing to root my desire and update it to 2.2. I've searched a bit, and found that people are taking about different versions of roms for desire. Which version is best? Where to get it from?
If i want to have version 2.2 do i have to root my desire to unbranded android 2.1 and then simply download android 2.2 or root it using 2.2?
Thanks for the reply in advance.

hello,
i think i need to make myself a bit clearer.
Currently i have HTC Desire with Tmobile software which is unlocked (sim-free). I would like to have unbranded android 2.2. I read a bit and understand that i need to root my device first, then i can put the unbeanded rom, is that correct?
Now, there is a lot of roms available, so which one i should use? Should i use 2.1 or 2.2 rom? Where can i get it from?
Thanks,
Wooju

this is a rooted originial HTC 2.2 rom. It is good for the beginning. And look at the description.. u will have to install the new Radio(Firmware) first. U can find the link in the thread.
U will have to choose if u want HTC-Sense and A2SD(ext3) and choose one of the roms available. I think they are all with Android 2.2
If you want a unbranded custom ROM you need to root your phone first, but if you just want the 2.2 update and doesn't mind the branding, there is an official update from HTC available.
I would recommend rooting your phone with 'unrevoked', there are plenty tutorials in this forum.
Which ROM to use is up to you. I use DeFrost without the sense UI.
Thanks for the reply. I just want to make sure, i root my device first, then load radio and then custom ROM?
x01a4, i uderstand that unrevoked is the program used to root the phone?
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

Hi All,
I have finally after a couple of years decided to move away from the Apple iPhone and buy an Android handset. As such I bought the Desire HD which I absolutely love however I wanted to debrand it using the latest software.
What I did was use the Goldcard technique to Downgrade my phone. I did this succesfully and debranded my phone, however what I realised was that I am now running a older (debranded) software.
Can anyone please assist me by providing with me some steps so that I can flash my phone again with the latest stock HTC Desire HD rom (debranded - is there a link?) or a very stable new ROM? I wouldnt mind version 2.3 if its available... I'm with Vodafone Australia and this is a Vodafone handset.
I have been told that the Goldcard method isn't the best way to do it? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Please excuse my questions as I am very new and not very good with Linux. I am very technically minded so I can pick things up quickly but I need some guidance as I have no idea about half the stuff people talk about here....
If you want stock Desire HD rom, you can flash back the RUU (2.2 Froyo). If you like 2.3 Gingerbread, you can try Cyanogen Mod 7 custom rom.
But for the most stable & battery efficient , you can try android revolution hd rom, leedroid, core droid rom.
You can view the list of rom (and also step-by-step to flash it) at the development thread located here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=765

Hi, Thanks for the reply.
I used this guide to downgrade my Desire HD. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003 - This debranded my phone which is what I wanted however I also realise it is not the latest build. Is this what you are you referring too when you say RUU 2.2 Froyo Rom?
If not, do you have a link to the one you are referring too?
That page you just linked to was for people who had the 1.72blahblah firmware, but wanted to downgrade to 1.32blahblah in order to root their phones.
The official firmware can be found on this page:
http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
...and the latest available firmware is this:
RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed.exe
thanks for that, now how do I flash this? I assume the same way I did it before?
With the stock RUU exes, you don't put them on your phone and flash via Clockwork (or whatever) like you do with custom ROMs. You run the exe from your PC with the phone connected via USB and HTC Sync.
There is a comprehensive guide somewhere on this site.
hey guys,
i'm kinda new to whole android stuff - i have a desire HD stock ROM, no modifications. I'm really interested in flashing it to "android revolution 3.1". So, i read the guides about how to flash rom's.
My only open question is: How can i go back to stock ROM? The Desire HD is running 1.72 atm, and i maybe want to get back to it, if i'm unhappy with custom rom. I read about RUU, but i can't find a RUU for DHD 1.72. It's an unbranded DHD. Would be nice if someone here could help me.
greets!
afaik there are no 1.7x RUU's out.
the 1.7x was just a FOTA of the older 1.3x .
just get your (branded/notbranded) RUU of the 1.3x .
should be fine though.

I m sure you won't want to get back to stock after you get your hands on custom roms
But anyways you ll find 1.72.xx RUU here: http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/
Plus you ll have a backup of your stock ROM before you flash a new rom. So should not be any problem anyway.
Hey everyone, don't be too harsh my first post here. Did a search and couldn't find anything on it. Just logged on the the HTC site and apparently there is an update to 1.84.666.2 for the HTC Desire Z on Bell. My phone is currently on 1.34.666.5 and when I check for update the phone says there are no updates available.
Would gfree work with this new update? Should I be upgrading to it now or wait until development is done on it.
Can't post outside links since I am a new user, but it is on the HTC site / ca / support / desirezbell / downloads /
Thanks guys.
ROMs 1.72 and up and not yet rootable, which includes the 1.84. So I would stay away.

If you're rooted and want a newer ROM, try the Virtuous custom ROM. Its based on 1.85, plus some extra features.
if you used gfree, id go with cm7 nightly. its almost rc3 and its by far the best rom I've used and I've tried em all. stay away from stock roms if your gfree.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
what if you don't use a rooter rom
and you use stock.
how do you get the htc update?
I have a bell phone it's unlocked currently but i haven't received any updated
