[Q] HTC Desire HD Introduction - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK guys, so long story short, my X8 broke down and I am looking forward into bying the inspire or the desire hd for easter. As I have seen on the forums the HD has more development and has custom kernels ( I haven't found any for the inspire, correct me if I'm wrong). So I was wondering wich phone should I buy. First of all please state the differences (if any). Then about the kernels and rom stuff, can I treat an Inspire as a Desire HD? I mean, can I load Desire HD kernels and Roms on the Inspire? And finally if not which phone should I buy? If you are familiar with any phones similar to the inspire please state the in a line under your answers! Thank you! Looking forward into joining the community and contributing to it!

The difference between desire hd and inspire is with the network band both operate on. You can use desire hd roms, kernels with inspire and you need to flash inspiremod zip using recovery to brand ur phone as inspire.

Why are you opening the same thread twice? Reading would have answered all your questions,. DHD and Inspire are the same device with different radio frequencies. Mostly all roms / kernels and radios work in both devices.

ROM radio question

Hi everybody,
The HTC triumph who should be the same phone as the HTC desire will be release in a few week I was wondering if i update the Rom radio of my desire with one in the HTC triumph, is it allow me to have access to 3g . Indeed the only difference between the 2 phone are the 3g frequencies.
Thanks for your answers.

first of all i highly doubt it, porting radios over sounds like brick heaven to me, more importantly why on earth would you want to do that?
Hi,
I used to live in France and I bought a HTC Desire there.
I moved to canada and the my phone works well except I can only use Edge. I checked the specs and I saw the frequencies are different between french operators and canadian ones. (I also have a HTC Kaiser who works well on the 2 networks, I do not understand why....)
So I am wondering if there is any solution to make HTC Desire working with 3g here or am I stuck with Edge ? It is not a big problem but it is a little bit slow.
Thanks for your help
I think you're talking about 850mhz vs 900mhz? If so, (and someone correct me if I'm wrong here) it's a matter of hardware, so there's really nothing you can do about it. :/

Best to install the latest Radio Update from the Android Development section and see if that is any better, flashing the Radio from a different ROM IS a fast route to bricking

Yes it exactly my problem.
So I will try latest Rom as you suggest. I hoped this was a matter of drivers not hardware
Thanks for your help.

Porting a different OS is a damn lot of work, so don't expect anyone to do it.
Maybe a dev will become interested an it and start to work on it, but currently everyone is pretty busz porting the Sensation ROM I suppose, so don't expect it to happen.
God get with the program people, use search and view the numerous threads on this subject and don't listen to the doubters we've all been running it for years
I m asking it because as far as hardware is considered desire hd and hd2 are not very different so the only need is to do some tweaking may be some Dev can do it let's keep our hops alive.

GSM or cdma

I plan on getting a wildfire soon. And I want to rot and install roms. But what I'm wondering Is does it matter if my phone is cdma and the roms are for GSM? Also are all the roms out for the wildfire GSM or cdma?
Cdma wildfire is called HTC bee, whereas gsm version is called HTC buzz. There is no custom recovery for HTC bee AFAIK. So don't get cdma wildfire if you want custom roms.
And why do you choose wildfire. It is already outdated. Many users with wildfire (including me) are willing to sell their phone. Now a days you get better devices than it even with low price. The LG optimus p500 and zte blade are preferable (if cam and flash is not given priority).
The newer wildfire s is not rootable as now. So it is also not recommended. Ignore if you are a sense lover.

Good luck.
One of the easier ways is to use ROM Manager. Its free of the market. I'm pretty sure you need root to flash the rooms but its pretty handy to have.

[Q] Desire HD and Inspire 4G

Is it dangerouse to flash Inspire 4G stock rom to a Desire HD?
I see on some forums that the reverse is possible but get sound issue
Just a question for knowledge.
Nobody can say me something?
You flash a Rom either way, same roms in most cases only difference is Inspire has some sound files etc. Most devs include them in the roms they are cooking.

not much of a problem
I've flashed either or and at worst I've just experienced audio only issues that can be quickly remedied with sound patches.
