Hi Guys,
Newbie here. Can anybody point me to the right or applicable guides or threads that relates to the phone ive mentioned in the title. Ive managed to root it using Kingoroot apk and changed the superuser to cf's SuperSU.
Now heres where im afraid to move further,ie flashing custom recoveries and roms, bcos theres so much variant avaiable for that phone, i dont want to brick my phone due to using the wrong application, recoveries or watsoever. Ive searched thru the forums but most of it are for those htc desire 820 with a51xxx. i cant seem to find threads (on RUUs, Custom recoveries and roms) that are specifically or perhaps that can be use for that phone.
So can anybody point me to the right ditection pls. Thanks in advance.
So far I've found only the stock ROM here. But it is outside of xda. No RUU or custom recoveries available at the moment.
Can't help much. Sorry mate.

hi all.
well im expecting to get abuse and called every kind of noob under the sun, BUT
im prepared to take it as normally someone will eventually give me the answer.
Currently i have a Desire - running Stock Froyo 2.2
i have rooted my desire using Revoked 3, so i have clockwork installed.
i have downloaded a few diffrent roms, but im getting confused with the instructions on exactly what to do to flash the actual rom on the phone.
Many people are saying about using diffrent tools/mods/processes, hench why i thought id come to the experts..
im intending on trying 4-5 diffrent ones to find the one i prefer, hench im looking for a general "do this, this, and this, reboot, bingo"
i have downloaded;
DeFroST_4.3
LeeDrOid_V2.1_A2SD
SuperFinal
(looking for OpenDesire, but cant find a dam download link which works)
i have used the nexus one (pure 2.2) and i really liked it hench looking for something fairly close to that.
can anyone help me please.
I think you need to read more pal, but essentialy the steps are:
1 reboot into recovery
2 wipe all your data (factory reset)
3 use the install from zip file option
4 enjoy your new ROM
however I would recommend you reading and studying the methods cause there's always a chance of bricking your phone

It's the actual Rom install part I'm
unclear on.
Rom Manager
hi all, just to say i have been given the best advice going on another forum
ROM Manager, as it connects directly into Clockwork and enables everything that way, that should make flashing sooooooo much easier.

HI Guys
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604&page=11
Ive read through the forum link above all 24 pages and downloaded the relevant Stock Roms, the original from HTC and the Vodafone one. Ive got a little confused reading through all the posts. To flash the original stock rom over my current vodafone branded one what steps exactly do i need to take. People are mentioning the unlock via htc dev in the forums is this required to take it back to the original stock rom. I didnt see any clear steps on how to get this done. Ive flashed my old phone numerous times (Desire) but at present am a little worried about using the htcdev way. I know the developers are working on s-off is any of this needed for what im trying to do??
Sorry if this has been asked but im struggling to find the info and down want to risk bricking the phone
Thanks in Advance

Ruu Query
HI Guys
Sorry i just noticed the massive size difference on the ruu's ive downloaded the original stock rom comes in at around 586 Mg however the Vodafone one i have is only 65 Mg why is there such a massive difference i was under the impression they were the same but one stock from htc and the other with vodafones own crap on it.
Ive been keeping up with the ThinkTank 2.20 thread since page 20... we finally have root.. Awesome! Thanks to djrbliss!
My Background: Every device Ive ever owned Ive flashed with custom firmware, Ive had the iPhone since iPhone1. A few weeks ago I decided I was tired being a part of the system and i threw it on the ground. I bought the HTC One X solely because I eventually want to build my own ROM for security and functionality reasons. Now that we're unlocked, i need to know where to start. With so many posts of different ROMs and Tutorials... none of them seem to relate to each other so its hard for me to learn the basics. So here I am.
My Device: HTC One X 2.20 ATT
Current Status: Tampered, Unlocked with Evita PVT SHIP S-ON RL
Rom I want to use - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946784
Question
The ROM itself is only 6mb... that cant be the full size of the ROM to be flashed can it? what am I missing? am i supposed to copy other required files from the ROM.zip to the phone by USB transfer in normal boot or what? Ive put the boot.img in the same "android" folder along with the fastboot and adb files, Ive followed the tutorials, I've tried the one click GUI program somewhere on here... its still not working.
Request:
Can someone explain to me the basics of rooting, recovery image, installing superuser, and installing ROMs and how the whole process works? I might be able to figure out how do these "basic tasks" myself if I understood. I'm just so confused with such an information overload that its hard to find out whats necessary and whats preference.
Most importantly - Ive completely wiped my phone in the process of trying this (i was aware it was going to happen so its cool) but I still have original ROM with ATT bloatware. It just doesn't make sense to me...
Thank you
you might get better help if you post this in the one x forum not the s3 forum
sorry

Sorry... I thought this was the general android Q&A, as in not associated with any device. My bad. Delete if necessary.
Dear friends,
Yesterday I sold my Oneplus One to get a brand new HTC One M8. Thing this is gorgeous, but the only thing I'm missing from the Oneplus One is the software. Which isnt the least important aspect of a Phone imo. So I'm considering rooting my Phone and getting CM11 on it. The only thing is that I want to root it, but it has Vodafone branding on it. Can I just use the normal root methods or isnt that possible for Vodafone branded M8's? If so does anyone know a different method? If no does anyone know a link to the best (and simpliest ) root method for my Htc One m8 . Ive been out for a while from this rooting stuff and id be pretty upset if id screw this **** up. lol
Kind regards.
Normal rooting method will work. Unlock bootloader, flash/boot custom recovery, flash SuperSU or any rooted custom ROM.
Another thing, this thread isn't supposed to be in this section. Questions and troubleshooting go into Q&A section not general section.
I agree with above post
I have the same.Unlocked bootloader through HTC and flashed custom recovery and flashed SU.
PS I have not flashed any modified ROM and it i still S-on
Good day, guys.
I recently bought a HTC Desire Eye (eye_tuhl) and I was wondering if I should update the phone first to Marshmallow before rooting it? I read through the development threads and it seems that people have difficulty with regard to the Marshmallow firmware. I am planning to flash S.ROM and the patch after rooting.
Also, after rooting, which ROMs are available for flashing for my variant, if I'm going to stay S-ON? I read that some ROMs have problems with S-ON phones. I also wanted to confirm that the Minis Reloaded Kernel also works in S-ON, provided that it will be flashed using a PC and is used with a ported ROM from M8.
I am sorry if the questions seem redundant, I got confused with the whole variant/firmware/S-ON snafu coming from devices which were relatively easy to understand (HTC Sensation, Xperia ZR)
Thank you very much in advance.

Its a long time since I flashed new ROM on my Desire, so I'm not sure about some info (already forget a lot), sorry for that.
But here is it
1) You can't update your firmware to custom one with S-On phone, only using OTA or RUU. But you may need to do that.
(for every Android version you need correct firmware)
2) Some people had problems with installing kernels on S-On devices also.
3) Even if you succed with flashing ROM, you may have problems with it. For example, enormous battery drain (I've this, it was just horrible), mobile data not working, NFC, etc.
So, i think the best way in this situation is OTA.
Please, correct me if i'm wrong.
