[Q] Desire HD - Returning to Stock from CM7(!) - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As per the title, could someone walk me through what would be required to return my old DHD to stock?
It's Rooted, S-off'd and running CM7. I really can't remember any of the processes involved in installing firmware on the DHD, it's been so long since I did it that my memory fails me, I'm more familiar with the samsung devices now.
Thanks, Dave.

What was the verdict?

Hi Marknoll,
I've not had a chance to have a really good look yet, I couldn't immediately find any thread I thought was 100% relevant to returning to stock from a custom OS though.
I guess I will have to extract the firmware from the RUU and flash it from the SD card?
Not been feeling up to doing much with this at the minute as I'm pretty ill, this is why I could do with a mini walkthrough if possible.
Thanks, Dave.

My daughter smashed my g2 and I didn't have an upgrade but love HTC so I scooped this up. half the fun is modifying and this phone is causing withdrawal pangs. I guess we have to wait until the boatloader unlock is released on htcdev. com before we get any dev attention. The bloatware got to go!

It's just, no use atm changing ROM, cause stock ROM is great and work as good as the avalible costum ones.
More importantly, to increase internal space...

But how many of you are S-off?
there isn't enough people with the unlocked bootloader to warrant more devs to develop the phone.
Well, there is/will be another 10 at least that are S-OFF thanks to the beauty of the X-Clip bulk buy group! It's nowhere near enough to bump up the numbers for a good custom rom to be published though
Personally, I would love the MIUI ROM to make it onto the Wildfire S as they already support quite a few HTC phones it may just happen?
Can i install The MIUI rom in my ws?
Havre s-off
If yes, pls The link
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using Tapatalk
MIUI never got ported for the original wildfire, Don't think they will do it for the S.
Best thing you can hope for is CM.
Have you spoken to the cyanogenmod people, they might be able to help you?

I would like to thank you for your effort in this forum. Hope the wildfireS scene can grow up.

I would help but currently my phone is being used for business, been applying for jobs so my mobile can ring any moment. Sorry I can't help because I would do everything I could to help push the Wildfire S scene.
Have you asked any of the other devs to see if they have encountered this?
Ah, well maybe you could pm the cm dev for buzz. I'm sure he would help out seeing as you are developing for the newer version.
I'm sure they can help. It's for the greater good haha.
hahaa yeah
I agree with you. I believe that what we actually need is a ROM as clean and as fast as possible.
No extra apps and bloatware preinstalled. Then everyone can install what they want!
And thank you for all your efforts and work alquez!
Check out the ROMS we have now!
*man, resurrecting threads is fun!*
No it's not, it's necro posting and absolutely the worst etiquette you could have on a forum. Your adding to the clutter...stop.

New phone

Although I have had fun with my desire, I can help but think it is now outdated. I've read about the sensation xe, what's everyones thoughts? My desire is the amoled version, do you think I will be disappointed with the sensation xe screen? Should I wait a little loner? Should I even move to the dark side and get an iPhone 5 when available?
I would be greatful for your thoughts and help.
Thank you

It's not outdated, just flash a good rom on it. But if you don't like it, get something else. You can still sell your desire for quite some money...
Been through a few roms, currently running insertcoin, miui before that for quite a while. Phone just seems a bit slow now, plus I'm one of those people who always want the latest

Im now with Leedroid 3.3.3. with sense 2.1. and works like a new one.
Wait till Christmast 4 a new smartphone

I used miui until a few months ago, got a bit bored and went back to a sense rom, might give miui another go. Thanks for everyones thoughts.
Just back to one of my original questions though, my desire has the amoled screen. Will the newer slcd screen on the sensation be much different quality wise, for better or worse?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
The amoled screen has a bit better colors, but the slcd screen of the sensation is better in every other aspect in my personal opinion.
But I think best would be to look for yourself, try the sensation in phone store.
I too eventualy got bored with the desire. After playing with almost every Android phone on the market I fell in love with the galaxy s2. The screen did it for me. It is truly breathtaking. Just before I tried it I played with the LG optimus 3d and was impressed with the effect but when you compare the s2 screen to it the difference is amazing. It made my desire display look so drab and dull. The phone is super fast. Full 1080p video recording. 16meg phone memory. 2mb system memory so no more ext partitions or data to SD.
Go and play with one. Apparently there will be an s3 around the start of nov. I wanted the evo 3doriginally but delays inthe launch. Bad reviews and the locked bootloader put me off. If you like to flash roms the s2 is super easy to root. Just flash an unsecure kernel and that's it. No s off no Linux disks nothing. So that's my sales pitch done with

The new sense roms are made for much more powerful device.
If you're going for non HTC, you may as well try aosp roms. They fly on the desire

Samsung GT-P1000

Hi everyone
Please i know that somewhere in this web of forums their must be a wise and helpfull way of upgrading the samsung galaxy tap p1000 to either an cynogenmod or to honeycomb/icecreamsandwitch
If look around for a while now and im unable to find any straight forward explanation in doing so
So sorry for asking this question yet again
Does anyone know how to do such upgrade or to explain such process in detail or even direct me to such forum and probably most important if such upgrade is available
I am having issues with my tab,mostly it crashing or sometimes freezes for a while. Bought it about 3months ago with gingerbread preinstalled by samsung
I know that with my htc wildfire by rooting it and installing cynogenmod it helped it not crash and also improved with possibilities and speed
I want to do the same with my gt-p1000 but its still under warranty so want to be sure there is a root and mod upgrade that works so that i wont loose my warranty for incase.
Please if someone could advise
Thanks a lot
Damion

fyi, im using miui for p-1000.
Samsung GT-P1000T
Have an ancient tab that has become boring.
Can anyone recommend a fast, pretty and stable rom? Have clockwork mod on it running Gingerbread 2.3.3 + kernel 2.6.35.7?
All help appreciated. I don't think it is rooted fully as Titanium can't get root.
Regards

Jelly bean custom ROMs are probably a month or 2 away, with an official release probably 3 or 4 months away.
Seeing as you asking on the HOX section of forums you're bound to get biased replies
Have to say I'm loving my HOX 100%, and would recommend it
Edit: when i say JB custom ROMs i mean sense based ones, there are already non sense based JB ROMs in original dev thread
Okey. I have got my hox now. And i would like to get jellybean without sense. Is there any good one like this that is stable.
Then i wonder if i use one of this roms, will i be getting updates automaticly.
Is it difficult to flash a new rom? I did it on my nexus.

The most stable roms without Sense are probably well-known CyanogenMod series:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786696
If you mean OTA updates (over-the-air), I know only one ROM for HOX with OTA updates, which is viperX by Team Venom (which is Sense based).
Flashing ROMs isn't difficult process, it's actually pretty simple, but you should first unlock your bootloader and install custom recovery (unless you're lucky owner of S-OFF HOX). There are plenty of guides out there, but easiest method (for me) is this All-in-one Toolkit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604439
Okey thanks for this information, very helpful. Most of all i would like to wait for htc to make a upgrade ota. But i dont whant to wait forever. When do you think this will come
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
OTA updates depends on many things. I get OTA update to Android 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1 in the beginning of August and I've seen lot of confused people; most of them thought only AT&T HOX get 4.0.4 update, because they didn't.
It's up to you, if you unlock and root your phone. Personally I like modding my phones and I'm also enjoying root access. My first impulse to unlock&root my phone was because of Lucky Patcher (because I'm cheap bastard and I don't want to buy expensive apps from Google Play :laugh: ) Now I don't regret I've done it, because of all that awesome things I can do with my HOX now. (like flashing custom ROMs/kernels, using apps with root access and overall I can customize lot of things which I couldn't without it.)
Okey i understand, but if you would say. When do you think htc will upgrade to 4.1 jelly bean on one x?
