By mistake and in order to rediscover the ruu roms,I installed an ruu rom,after I had a custom rom.
And I would like to return to install a custom rom in my dhd.
Can anyone help me with steps I need to do in order to be able to install a custom rom,I read alot of articles in this forum but still haven't got the general concept of the steps I need to follow in order.
Thanks in advance for the support.
Obviously you already had custom?
Why don't you just follow the same method you used to get the custom rom the first time?

not to easy.....
Since i know that after installing stock rom you won't be able to get root access in your DHD so in order to use custom ROM in your DHD first you need to have ROOT access so that you may follow script AAHK2 to get root and s-off even if you get root that's fine,that install CWM recovery so that you're about to get access for custom rom installation process.But before flash custom rom take backup or your current rom its not that much require but helpful.
Once all that done. Vol. Down and PWR button will let you go in to bootloader,hit power button and then from fastboot you have to type fastboot flash boot boot.img
then press power button again to get back to hboot screen where you will have recovery option hit there and install your desire custom rom.
if S-OFF then no need to flash boot.img,since i have S-ON so i thought let's mention you about it.if you don't flash your boot.img file then either you will hang in htc logo screen or in boot loop so for S-ON flash boot.img and for S-OFF no needed.
Thanks.

I have S-OFF already,so the steps I need to do is:
1-Root my device
2-Install recovery image which is CWM.
but what about unlocking bootloader,I dunno if its locked or not,is there anyway to discover that ?
Thanks

Yes you may unlock or relock bootloader in easiest way how i do,just need to download one file,i know it's chinese site but you need to open it some browser where you may able to translate whole page in order to understand what those chinese letters trying to explain.
this is the site,open in any browser where language translate supports,download file worth size 17.15MB so download it and install it,Once all done connect your DHD and it should detect your phone,Once it detects it will shows your phone current display like blank screen or whatever screen you're up to. now look in that app you will find several different icon click on 4th one like first one is with some S symbol in that line 4th one you have click in there you can see several different icons. Check for lock icon with htc written just click on it,will take 1 or 2min and you will have on your phone option for choose Yes or Choose No and press power button. This by far the easiest method.
If you don't want to follow this then go with htcdev will take some time but will unlock your bootloader too.
Or follow this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133336
Enjoy.My personal advice choose the first one because it is the by far the easiest method to unlock bootloader and there are several other chinese site have made there softwares.
Thanks.

Copy boot.img into the same folder where the fastboot or fastboot.exe executable file is.
Reboot your HTC One X into Bootloader Mode.
Select Fastboot from the Bootloader menu.
Connect your HTC One X to the computer via USB cable.
Manually flash the boot.imgfile you have extracted earlier. Open a command prompt or terminal on your computer and type the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

as I understand from your statement that you havnt rooted your mobile and you are still at original RUU ROM, if thats true you may have 2 options only ,
1- re-install the official RUU for your device or
2-return it to the repair center

Ignore that, or any advice that says to unlock your bootloader to do so unless you already have unlocked it.
If you are fully stock and are not willing to void your warranty by unlocking or flashing anything report/return it to HTC as a fault.

Unlocking the bootloader does not, I repeat DOES NOT void the varranty, UNLESS you bought it locked to a carrier

What a ridiculous statement.
I quote the following from HTCdev...
"Unlocking the bootloader means that you now have the ability to customize software on your device. Please note that changing your bootloader can cause significant issues with your device and once you have unlocked your device, you have agreed to the disclaimer that states a change in warranty status such that in the event you render your device unusable, you are responsible for the recovery of your device, whether by repair or by other means."
Which clearly translates to...after unlocking your bootloader you are responsible (must pay for) any repairs. There is NO qualification as to whether carrier purchase makes any difference ANYWHERE in the T&C's.
There is substantial evidence ALL over the internet and REPEATED advice from ALL quarters that doing so VOIDS the warranty.

You don't need to root to flash a ROM, you just need to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery...possibly upgrade hboot.
A custom ROM will be pre-rooted.

2) after installing custom recovery, go to post 2 for instructions on custom ROM installation.

ok, i think you've tried to flash a stock rom without flashing a stock recovery !!.
do you have fasboot adb on your pc ?
you need to unlock your bootloader and re flash a custom recovery
if not search the dev section for a tool that will unlock your boot and re-flash a custom recovery for you-all the instructions are on there.
once you have re unlocked and flashed a custom recovery,go into recovery and see if there are any backups of the previous rom (nand)
see if that works ..

Get your nandroid backup there,(the vodap021 2.17) you need to flash the boot.img file from that nandroid with fastboot commands, then do a full wipe in recovery and restore the nandroid.
But you still have to fix the fastboot part right ? You need to install android SDK/java SDK and the HTC drivers. Then you have to put the phone in the bootloader and open a commandprompt from inside the folder where the adb/fastboot files are located ...they are in a subfolder in the installed javaSDK install folder

Thanks, it is beginning to make some sense to me now.
So first bit I got to do is the fastboot issue, which is tha last bit you mentioned right?
And after unlock boot loader than flash the recovery with one you provided in the link, tx
So that means I will go back to stock right?
Yes unlock, flash custom recovery, flash boot.img, full wipe in recovery, restore the nandroid, flash back the stock recovery .....
And yes this way you go back to stock and i will also give you the download link for the stock recovery. This one is the last you flash after restoring everything
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
Then you are able to update to JB from within the phones software update menu :thumbup:
Ps you do not have to relock the bootloader anymore !

You restore through the custom recovery. Power+vol , choose recovery. If you flashed the recovery ok then you can do from in there. Ie mount usb, copy over your nand backup and restore it. You may have to flash the boot.img using fastboot.

Hey guys! So my cousin bought this used Desire HD. Its running 2.2 Froyo.
So here is the list of the problems:
1. When downloading from Google Play it does not download the app but it can browse. It gives a "Error : No Connection" in the status bar.
2. It should update to 2.3.3 but it says im already updated.
3. Tried factory resetting 2 times. Same thing.
4. Also one weird thing. I live here in Pakistan, so YouTube is blocked here. But the phone does browse YouTube? (it cant open the video though). Some kind of ROM problem i guess so.
What should i do to resurrect this problem? Thank you! Its the International version. "HTC Desire HD A9191".
Also the Serial number is SH11JRX08759

You could try unlocking the bootloader, root, and install a 4.2.2 custom rom. This will void the warranty but it may be the only way to fix the problem.
Update : so i went into the bootloader. And its pretty strange. Its S-OFF but not rooted :/ that is a really strange issue. Also i have noted the signals to be a bit more weaker.. Can somebody guide me from here?

Power off the phone. When it is off, hold down the volume down button and press the power button. This should get you into the HBoot screen. At the top of the screen, it will either say "UNLOCKED" or "LOCKED". If it is unlocked that's great. If it's not unlocked, look at the HBoot line to make sure the HBoot version on your phone can be unlocked. If it can, just follow the guide posted in this forum to install a 4ext custom recovery to flash custom roms.

There are lots of problems in this phone. Like every minute i find a new bug. Can someone please guide me in flashing the stock rom? Or if possible. ROOT it and put some sense 4.1 ROM?

Just one question. The phone is already S-OFF :/ Do I have to S-OFF it again? :/
Can't I just root it? :/

You need the ENG S-OFF in order to use any actual commands/flash anything.Also rooting won't fix the play store problem, you must change ROM.If I may recommend, SVHD for a sense rom, or CM10.1 for that clean look.

Ok I am going to Temporary Root my DHD by Z4Root
Keep in touch kind sir I will update u the details
Unlock your bootloader first via htc dev. just follow the intructions in htcdev
Note: You need to update your bootloader first
- if the ruu in htcdev runs and update your bootloader, then your good to go
- if not or error appears, then create a goldcard (Instruction can be found somewhere here)
copy the updated hboot zip file to the root of your card and flash the zip file in recovery
then go back to unlocking your bootloader via htcdev
once unlock use the easyaceroottool to root your phone
-this will automatically flash the clockword recovery then you can flash any custom rom that you want.:fingers-crossed:

he doesn't need to update the hboot, he can easily flash the engineering one and do it a way lot easier.
I am doing what Steam. has said. but since I am running Windows 8, I am encountering some .NET Framework issue unfortunately. trying to resolve them first :/
OK I finally got the .NET Framework working. Gonna try out the process (Gonna read the ENG S-OFF) Obviously
what the?
It says "Bootloader Corrupt. DO NOT REBOOT. Seek help from XDA" :s :s

In the old thread that was here many people rebooted straight away with no problems, they had S-OFF.

just make sure you have a custom ROM ready to be flashed, do not boot the stock again once you reboot to bootloader.Flash 4EXT recovery, you can find the recovery .img here
just DL a ROM of your choice and flash it afterwards.
Hi all! I have a bit of time on my hands and seeing as my phone has been stupidly slow recently, I thought installing a custom rom would be a good idea.
I've read up on it a little (although probably still not enough) and have started by trying to root my Desire HD. I've been using the 'Easy Unlock Tool' to try and get it to s-off but every time I run it, I get stuck at "obtaining unlock token"
Where is it that I'm going wrong?
Easy Unlock Tool doesn't S-Off your phone or root your phone or flash a custom recovery. It merely unlocks your bootloader. Easy Ace Root Tool unlocks your bootloader, roots your phone, and flashes a custom recovery. But it also doesn't S-Off your phone.
Ah right, well it seems getting my device to be S-OFF isn't easy. Is it actually required to be able to install and run custom roms?
If so, what's the easiest way to do it? The only thing I've found is a guide for advanced users
Unlocking your bootloader also lets you flash custom ROMs.
Good news, I've managed to unlock my bootloader and root my device!
Now I'm just having trouble installing roms, every one I try seems to get stuck on the HTC screen on startup
You must flash the boot.img separately in fast boot, press power + vol down to get into hboot, and select Fastboot

done it, FINALLY!
Cheers, it took a while but I got there in the end!
Use this for S-OFF:

According to your given information I'd simply say: "Go and get you a new device!"
This shurely is as helpful as your information.
Else you'd write a few lines on what you did or what you tried to do when the 'brick' happened...

Ok, so everything is fine.
Depending on your rom (Sense I assume) you'll need to reflash your kernel or the complete "romwhichever".zip
To flash a kernel separately you need to boot into recovery and enter:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Usually you'll find the file boot.img inside the rom zip file(s) and you need to extract them. More questions?
Yes bro...can you guide me where to get the flash file

Are you using the stock rom (that came with the phone) or another one (which one)?
TWRP or CWM recovery?
Rooted (Superuser installed) or not?
Sorry asking, but that's straightforward...

i did not do any thing bro...my phone is crazy...please dont give up on me...every thing in the phone is not modified...please can you help me reflash it to stock ?!!!
If you didn't even unlock the bootloader, how could you possibly mess it up?
Is that possible?
Usually you can't bypass a locked bootloader.
So I'd suggest the following:
Boot into bootloader
Select Hboot (simply by pressing the on/off switch)
Select 'Factory Reset' by pressing Vol down
Press on/off
and wait for reboot.
Btw. did you buy it 2nd hand?

What is your recovery?
And did you try the steps I mentioned above? It's way easier to try this first instead of returning to stock, as there are no RUU's available now. The very first thing to return to stock is to find out if an appropriate backup exists here.
If not, we'll try to load and flash another rom. Search for ADB-sideload...
Do you know about ADB-shell?
--- edit
Make shure to search and read for these things before we start anything...
