How to install custom ROM on my HTC desire HD - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I have spend couple of hours on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002349
I want to install some jellybean 4.2.x ROM.
there are lots of lots of metrial on rooting , unlocking too many terminology.
Some of the forum post on this site which were valid earilier for S-off are now no more valid.
Most of them assume that readers know a few thing about rooting process, which turns out to be untrue in my case.
Is there any step by step guide for installing custom rom on HTC desire HD, which upto date?
I have understood what S-Off and S-On means, its a lock that is installed on HTC phone which disallows any hampering ( rooting etc)
in order to install any custom first thing is we need to do S-Off. there are lots of tools available for this, I am not sure which one to go with,
using wrong one will make my phone unusable and may be un-repairable. There seems to be some tool which would S-Off permanently and some would do it temporarily .
After S-Off is done whats next? how to flush memory.
My purpose behind installing a custom RAM is not getting new features. its following
1) A Factory Reseted HTC desire HD has 411 MB memory already full , After restarting post factory reset.
that's less, I can't increase the RAM , so can I install a light weight ROM , which has very less pre-loaded apps.
2) Performance :Sometime its dam slow. un explainable. yo udial someone , it will dial literally after 3-5 minutes.

You don't need S-Off to root. Use the Easy Ace Root Tool.

Isn't there any step by step guide?
Which ROM has lowest memory foot print?
Is there anything like 200-300 MB?

Check the Ace Think Tank thread in the Desire HD Development forum. No idea about ROMs.

if you just unlock your phone through htcdev unlock..still S-ON bootloader..then you must flashing manually boot.img extracted from the rom.zip it self after every installing any new custom rom..
1st installing the rom.zip from recovery and reboot to bootloader again after installing rom.zip
2nd select FASTBOOT
3rd extracted the boot.img from rom.zip it self
4th copy the boot.img to your sdk/ android tools folder
5th connect your phone with computer through usb (indicator in your phone is "FASTBOOT USB")
6th open your sdk/ android tools folder through cmd then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
7th reboot your phone..and wait about 5-10 minute of the booting rom for the first time...
if your phone bootloader already S-OFF then you don't need to flashing manually again the boot.img from the rom.zip
hopefully this can help...

Help please, New with HTC

I come from the SGAce forums where flashing is just download-and-flash method and now I wanna try the HTC One X and use ARHD Rom (used it on my friend's Gnexus) And I really don't know what to do! It's just too complicated for me
My bootloader is already unlocked and it's only a test phone I borrowed cause I'm not sure what to buy yet
If anyone can help Here as well as ow to flash the rom and the .bat file
THANK YOU A LOT
First you need unlock bootloader to flash custom recovery. Follow this guide for example how to do it.
After recovery, make a backup of your current rom.
After backup, download ARHD 5.1.0 and superwipe script to your sdcard, after you got them both flash boot.img from ARHD thread. (Download this & run "install-boot.bat") This is mandatory because without S-OFF one can't flash boot.img from recovery, and without boot.img flashed one can't boot their device or it won't work properly.
Then to the basic flashing process, boot to recovery and flash superwipe script and afterwards flash ARHD and you're good to go!
BTW, you don't need to flash firmware files

[Q] Soft/ Hard Brick? Formatted SD card

Hi guys!
Im quite new here and new to all these Android stuff but here's my problem:
My friend accidentally formatted everything (sd card, cache, system) and erased EVERYTHING including my CWM recovery backups and now when I reboot it only stays on the HTC logo. Now here are my questions:
-is this a soft brick or a hard brick? (I can still go to HBOOT and RECOVERY)
-what can I possibly do? I dont really know how to flash a stock ROM and stuff like RUU or Kernel etc.
Please help me, Im new to Android and Im actually having fun using it with my new phone. By helping me, you are also helping my friend not being killed by me if my phone gets restored.
Thank you very much!

i think mass storage is not working from recovery currently so flash RUU...
It just a soft brick. You can use a custom ROM, put the rom.zip on your memory card and flash it. HTC One V has a memory card slot for you to put in your sdcard, so not a big problem.
Custom ROM:
1- put the ROMxx.zip on your sdcard (use a card reader).
2- boot to recovery
3- tap on install from sdcard
4- tap on choose zip from sdcard
5. tap on the ROMxx.zip and install.
6. Once complete, reboot.
If you want a stock ROM then you need to flash RUU.
1. put the stock recovery.img in fastboot folder
2. connect your phone in fastboot mode
3. open cmd prompt, point to fastboot folder
4. type fastboot flash recovery stock recovery.img
5. type fastboot oem lock
6. double click your RUU and follow instructions.
Make sure you have the right RUU for your phone.

I did your instructions but when I typed fastboot flash recovery stock recovery.img it says "it cannot load stock" then i proceeded and typed fastboot oem lock and my device rebooted. When it got back to HBOOT it says "***RELOCKED*** on top
Please help me.
Thanks in advance
You shouldn't relock first, you need to place the stock recovery first then relock. But I guess it is ok as you may be on stock ROM.
Anyway, which area are you ? Asia ? Europe? where ?
Check in bootloader - what is the radio version ?
These info may help to find the right RUU for you
p.s: stock recovery.img is refering to the recovery_signed.img or recovery.img depends on the right name. Say it is recovery_signed.img then it should be "fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img"

well thats exactly what it says on the HBOOT
What's my next step? Ill follow exactly as you instructed since I am a supernoob so, im not being demanding but please be specific.
Thank you very very much for your quick replies!
*I copied the recovery.img file to the fastboot folder in my CPU. And yes the recovery.img is the name of my stock recovery.*
You should be more specific, which area in Asia.
If you're in Malaysia or Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, grab the RUU here:
http://www.fileswap.com/dl/NjefCFzT...831.15.00.23_m_release_252880_signed.exe.html
What was your ROM before the soft brick ? If it is stock and now you are on "relocked" status, connect your phone in bootloader (fastboot usb), double click the RUU.exe and follow the displayed instructions.

[Q] Install Android Revolution HD HTC One X

Hi, i´m just new on Android. The HTC One X is my first Smartphone and i want to install the Android Revolution HD 6.0 rom. I know this: First i need unlocked via Htcdev and install SuperSU. That is clear for me.
But in the instruction for ARHD 6.0 says, that i need to flash the boot.img of the rom first and then install the rom. In the tutorial are 3 files: ARHD 6.0 - ARHD super wipe and flash_boot_6.0.0. In the last find a READ ME: I need to run the install-boot-windows.bat and then install the ARHD in Recovery.
That is where i´m confused.
Must i the boot.img of the ARHD One X 6.0.0 flash or run the intall-boot-windows.bat. Or both?
I know, are many tutorials but i have this problem and it´s my first time with Android and ROMS.
BTW i´ve install the last OTA (1.29.401.11), i live in germany and my phone ist unbranded. There is a problem with this. Must i have the 1.28.401.9?

Yes you do need it and it needs to be flashed prior to flashing the rom. Simply open the zip file once its downloaded, put your phone into fastboot-usb and run the install-windows.bat file. The boot.img file is then automatically flashed.
The boot.img is packaged in the zip/rar file, which contains a batch file that somewhat automates the boot flash. So, the boot.img and the flash boot 6.0 are one and the same step.
Yea you need it.
But you don't flash it using CWR, instead you unzip on your pc and run the script for your OS. In windows its a bat file that flashes the boot.img to your phone
EDIT: hehe need to learn to reload the site before replying =P

Don't be panic . Just goto fastboot and flash the respective boot.img for the Rom you have flashed.
First erase the cache and flash the boot.img

the only thing i dont know how is how do i flash the boot.img?
everybody saying dont flash it using CMW then how the hell can i flash it?
pls super noob here and i dont know what to do
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Instructions are provided in most rom and kernel threads.
You need to use fastboot commands from your pc, for example:
fastboot flash boot what_ever_your_file_is_named.img

put the boot.img in the same folder your fastboot files are on your pc, then boot into your bootloader on your phone.
pick fastboot, connect your usb so it becomes fastboot usb
in the cmd prompt on your pc type fastboot flash boot boot.img
or download this program http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634786 (courtesy of team hex)
put your boot.img in the boot.img folder
put your phone into fastboot usb
then run the program and pick flash boot.img
If you don't get it then you shouldn't have unlocked the phone in the first plce until you read up on adb/fastboot

This.
I wish more people would actually read and understand what they're doing before they start doing it. If you unlock/root your phone you NEED to know how to restore any changes you make, this usually means you need to know how to use ADB, the Recovery console and the Bootloader (the bare minimum of things you need to know).
If you don't know how to use any of these things stop whatever it is you're doing. It most likely wont end well.
You should really read up on things. Until we get soff you won't be able to flash kernels etc through cwm. Regarding adb and fastboot try reading this http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/.

Using batch files to make flashing IMG faster is all well and good but learning to do it yourself is the only way to really be safe with what you're doing.

In order to unlock via HTCDev you need to flash the .bin file via fastboot so he must have some idea of how to use it!

Open it and extract to desktop
Place the boot.img in the folder ( boot.img flasher.rar > boot.img flasher )
Reboot ur phone in fastboot mode ( adb reboot bootloader )
Run the batch/sh file for ur OS
Flash the ROM
Enjoy!

I have a problem with my htc and i was wondering if i could get some help please.
I unlocked the bootloader of my HTC WFS and installed twrp i installed a costume rom based on android 2.5.7 (alquez and it worked fine
but now whenever i turn on my phone it would stay on the white htc screen and even when i try recovery NOTHING
my HTC WFS is S-ON (GSM) PG7610
PS: I tried every tip i could find on XDA DEVELOPERS like
*GOLD CARD
*flash rom with RUU while phone is on FASTBOOT mode
*and since my phone is S-on i cant wipe the system via FASTBOOT
*i tried DIAG files but that only works for (CDMA) phones
*cant use ADB since phone wont boot
ANY THOUGHTS?
THANK YOU.

Hey pal first off, this is the wrong forum. This is the old wildfire forums not the wildfire s. But I shall help you out none the less
Since your phone is hboot unlocked but not s-off you need to flash your custom roms boot.img via fastboot just after you flash the rom via recovery. When you download the rom it comes in a zip file, unzip a copy of it and place the boot.img in your fastboot folder, then copy the zip to your sd card and then flash via recovery. Once it's flashed boot into hboot by using advanced reboot options I think its called. Then flash the boot.img using the command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Where boot.img is the name of the .img you took from the zip file (just in case you have renamed it and don't know why the command is not working)
Then do fastboot reboot and the phone should boot up okay. You need to flash the boot.img for every rom change that you do. Also should you decide you want to run a RUU you must relock you hboot or it won't run.

HI.
firste off i would like to thank you for taking the time to responde to my question and im sorry about posting in the wrong forum.
i watched the XDA DEV noob video on youtube about being a noob so before i posted my question i looked through each and every post i could find about my phone s problem but NO LUCK so i decided to ask the experts
*i did relock my bootloader before i ran the Ruu and it didnt work it said main version too old and since my costume rom is based on andoird 2.3.7 and my htc can only go as far as 2.3.5 and ruu wont let you downgrade so i figured it might not work.
*now you suggested that i flash the costume rom via recovery and thats the problem i cant even get in to my recovery it just gets stuck on the white htc screen and i tried flashing the recovery Again (twrp) and nothing. even other recoveries wouldnt work.
*i flashed about 4 roms and they all worked just fine even this last one and i didnt flash the boot.img and i was able to reboot normally
THANK YOU.

Okay so, let's recap.
You are on a custom android rom.
You have a custom recovery installed.
Your cannot flash the RUU as your run version is higher than the RUU.
Lastly you cannot boot into your custom Rom, or your recovery?
Do you want to return to stick it get a custom Rom flashed?

at this point i just want to get pass that white htc screen i am sick of it
Q: if i flash a system via fastboot successfully will it automaticly erase the old one because i tried to erase it but it said remot controle not allowed (S-on)
ok, ive requested this thread be moved to its correct forum.
before proceeding can you tell me when your htc wildfire marvel was made? after 2012?
can you flash clockworkmod recovery and then try flashing a custom htc sense rom
Then reboot back into cwm recovery (by selecting advanced/ reboot-recovery in the menus) and plug the phone into your computer via usb cable. open up your command prompt and move to your adb folder. type the following commands ( a # denotes instructions and should not be typed into the command window)
Code:
adb devices
#this should show your device up, maybe saying its in recovery mode
adb shell
# the command prompt should change to a # symbol
Now make sure you have a sdcard in the phone and then run the following command
Code:
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
This should leave you with a file called misc.img on your sdcard. Lastly
Code:
exit
exit
exit
your command window should have closed. now upload this file to a online storage system like dropbox and send me a pm with a link to it. I will edit it and you can flash it back, this will relock your hboot and downgrade your software version so that RUU's will work. then we will run a RUU, returning your phone to stock and functional state

Hmm.... Okay reflash twrp and see if it boots up. Without a recovery your options are limited. You need to be careful as your device uses a different kernel from older versions of the wildfire s. If you flash a older RUU version it will kill your phone.
Do you have any phone unlock shops near you?

Make sure when you go to the unlock shop you make sure they use an XTC clip http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/Unlocking/xtc_clip.htm
If they don't have it then do not pay for an unlock. You need s-off not SIM unlocked. Make sure to ask for it. Once your S-off you can run any RUU and fix the phone but check in here first so I can ensure that its compatible with your 2012 edition of the phone ( as I said flashing one that is too old will kill the phone!)
