I have DHD and I read about installing a new rom.
Its all have "flash the ROM" as I dont know how ,and what do I have to use for.
I search and didnt find any thread guiding step by step,so can you help ?
The thread right below yours. Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30007255
Keep in mind it needs to be updated since the aahk (ace hack kit) has been retired and is only for advanced users - in case you are not rooted.

Thanks,In case I have a ROM (jelly bean) I still have two questions:
1-how to know if the rom is customized for GSM
2-how to check the validity of the rom before installing

1. If it's a ROM for this phone it's GSM. Don't flash other phones' ROMs.
2. Md5sums, or open up the zip and see if it's readable.

All,
Sorry about if this is a duplicate post, but can anyone confirm if the procedure http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4257045&postcount=38 is still good for rooting a G2 Touch phone?
I have been using mine for a while and am eager to be on a later version of Andriod. Do the new builds have the HTC Applications (such as bookmarks where you can take photos) or are they free of these applications?
If they don't have them, is there anyway I can add them?
Many thanks.

Do you want to root your phone or put a new rom on? Rooting the phone will only allow you to run apps which require root access, most custom rom's have root built in and can allow you to use v2.1 of android os. If you want to put on a custom rom then follow my guide in my sig if you just want root I think that guide is good.
Read the custom ROM topics to see what apps or tweaks have been made.
If your Hero is a newish uk T-Mobile one, the first method in that sig may not work. I had to use the goldcard method, what HSPL You using?

Use this guide: "[Guide] Newbie Guide to Install a Custom Rom [Updated 19/03]"
I have same phone as yours (HTC G2 T-Mobile) and did everything nice in few hours of carefulness and now my phone is happy with latest Villain 4.0 Beta2.
P.S. everything worked 100% with golden card method which is explained there in noob level.
Good luck!

The link in BTDAG's sig is the same one EDISMX is referring to,... and yes, the Goldcard method that BONESY mentioned is also explained there, by far (in my opinion) the best tut for beginners on here.
Ok just coming from HD2 running CM7 2.3.4 (flashed a lot of roms on them)
Just got a DHD (yesterday) - has build 1.84.832.2 on it and stuck with Android 2.2.1.
Missing 2.3.4 and no official upgrade yet for HK version.
Questions
How can i root this phone (visionary+ does not appear on market)
is there anyway to upgrade to an official 2.3 rom from another region?

Yes, you can root the phone, but since you have 1.84 FW, you need to downgrade.
Once you downgrade, you can then install CWM recovery and flash different ROMs
*for downgrade guide - CLICK HERE
*for official ROM sources - CLICK HERE (files by andy, credit goes to him)
sorry but u answered the same thing like me but with another words....
uuuuhhhh...no, not really,
i provided a link to RUUs and a downgrade guide
did you provide a link to the RUU?
and when you said

Semantics aside - thanks. to both of you.
still trying to get to grips with DHD.
Quite familiar with HD2 rooting and flashing.
have put adw launcher on it and it feels a bit more like home.
Hello,
As all we know, our Desire HD's will be updated to ICS (I hope soon ). I'm using RCMix 3D but I just want to update my phone when that's available.
So how can I find official ROM with sense 3 and unrooted, I want clean and untouched one.
Thanks.

Those RUUs might not be rooted, if so you will have to perform the root procedure again if you install.

Hello can anyone write a tutorial that will send any T989 with custom ROM and RADIO to it's original configuration so Kias can upgrade phone to ICS ? Let's say I am on Darkside with radio from Blaze 4G and I do have my original ROM backed up with ROM Manager ....now what ? From what I understand I need 3 things to make a smooth transition.
1. Original 2.3.6
2. Original RADIO
3. No Custom Recovery (no clockwork)
I may be incorrect on clockwork but I know for sure radio and rom has to be exact. So is there anyone can write a tutorial that will put any T989 and ANY Custom ROM to it's original state ? (I hjope it's even possible)
Thank you.

I guess that link is for old stock ROM (ULKL1) . They upgrade it one more time before IcS to UVLDE. There is thread on general section.
Follow that

Is that mean I'll have to do an upgrade before I can do ICS ? Or I can just go from that straight to ICS ?
if you find the UVLDE md5.tar file in whatever thread it is in, you only need to go back to that STOCK version, there is no further update from that.
You can then do the ICS update after that.

Why not wait a few days for us to play with it first? Updating through Kies could render your device unrootable. With what I have been reading/hearing they may lock the bootloader and make it impossible to root until a security flaw is found and exploited. This could take days to even months if even possible. Like I said, my advice is to wait.

Crap ...... well I am with ICS now and hoping for ROOT ATM meanwhile I just glad whole process was painless and straight forward. One question if possible. So at this stage It'll be impossible to use same guide and return to 2.3.6 stock from before right ?
Thanks !

I've wanted to say that HTC (as far as I know) is the only smartphones provider that let users unlock bootloader and root devices with step by step guide trough their official site. You have to google "HTC One V root" and search for htc.com site
I'm wondering why they won't sell unlocked and rooted devices
