Hi I'm new here. Have just rooted my desire using reflash. Was wondering how I go about using custom roms. Also can I revert back to the standard Rom if I install a new one.

Now that you have rooted it, it means you now have a Working Recovery Partition. Everything you do subsequently with ROMS is using the Recovery.
Acess recovery with the following steps:
Switch off phone.
Power on by pressing Vol Down first, then Power on Button without releasing Vol Down, and then finally Release Power button.
The device boots into Boot.
Now use Vol Down to select Recovery
Press Power on button again.
You are now booted into Recovery.
If you're using Clockworkmod recovery, you should first create a Backup. This is called a Nandroid Backup. This allows you to restore your phone completely to its current settings. Phone data, contacts, Boot screen and all..
After creating a Nandroid Backup, download the zip file for custom ROM (Try searching for AuraxTsense ROM. It's one of the best ones), copy it to the root folder of your sdcard. Rename it to something you can remember.
Now reboot into Recovery, choose the option to "Flash ROM from zip" (or something similiar. Dont have my phone right now with me.), then choose the file you downloaded earlier.
The phone now shows a few steps, and says its completed. At this point, go back to main menu with the Back button, Choose to reboot your phone.
Voila. Your phone now boots into the new ROM. Enjoy!
By the way, the next time you post, please include a more significant title for your post. Makes it easier for others to help you. Good luck!
If you have root download ROM Manager from the market, it's free, and then back up and flash using that.

ROM Manager is a fail IMO, much better to actually use Clockwork Mod/Amon RA directly as you have more control over what you're doing...
Before you flash a new ROM, check that you can get an RUU for the software version on your Desire. If not, you'll have no way of getting back to the original ROM for warranty purposes. Go to:
Settings>About phone>Software information>Software version and make a note of the ROM version on your phone, e.g. 2.29.405.2. Once you have it, go here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
And see if you can find a file that matches your version. If you can download it and keep it safe as you'd need it to return to stock

Good Morning Guys, I thought I posted this already but I can't find the post now so must of forgot to submit it before I ran out the door for work.
I sucessfully rooted my phone last night and all seems sucessful. I want to put a new rom on it (possibly the new one)
However at the bottom of the instructions I was following it then said download and apply this Recovery Image. What is this about and is this needed?
I read somewhere that it must be a certain recovery image and I am a bit worried about this part so was anyone could point me in the right direction to what recovery image I need to download and instructions how how to do it?
Thanks.
Can anyone help me????
PRETTY PLEASE
I promise to stop bothering you all once I have managed to get a custom rom on once...
You need a custom recovery to be able to flash a ROM. This can be done either by running the last part of the rooting instructions again OR using Fake-Flash (some will say just use ROM Manager but I think it's pants personally)...
Download THIS, rename it to update.zip (not update.zip.zip) and copy this to the root of your SD card. Also copy the ROM you wish to use to the SD card. Then use this to enter the custom recovery to flash a custom ROM (to get to the recovery, turn the Desire on whilst holding down the vol. down button, select recovery from the menu and press power and then when at the red ! screen press power and vol up at the same time and then select 'apply sdcard:update.zip')
or simply download the rom manager from the market its free installl it and then go into it, and at the top you will have a FLASH CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY and your current one undeneath, so you click on that It will ask you to confirm your phone and the allow it to access the root and wait till its done and voila and then all you do pretty much is put a rom onto your partitioned sd card (swap0 ext3 256/512/768/1024mb) and Install it via the rom manager
I did say you can use ROM Manager but I think it's **** personally - I prefer to see what I'm doing (and it's a LOT quicker)

Thanks for the info all make sense to me now I am about to give it ago. Got 40 minutes until I am leaving hopefully thats enough time If not can someone quickly tell me to stop! Thanks.
HELP ME :-(
Ok I tried following instructions I installed the Recovery Image that went through fine. I used fake-flash with the rom in a zip on the sd card went into recovery fine loaded the fake flash which all worked perfectly. Selected install from zip on sd or what ever it says selected the rom zip file.
Took about 10 minutes cant rember if it said failed but when I rebooted the phone I just ended up with the red triangle and exclmation mark. I did a restore with nandroid (backed up before trying the rom and now its back to how it was.
I got the rom from cookandroid.com using the Official Froyo from OpenDesire.
What am I doing wrong as I am sure its me
Had another go this morning using the same downloaded rom I used last night and worked perfectly this time. After the rom installation it rebooted and of course the radio didn't work as that needed up grading so installed the radio then did a wipe on the phone and its brilliant. Haven't played with it much yet so that is what todays 'TODO List' contains
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Max
Yep, once you start doing it, you will find out that flashing different roms is actually more interesting than using the phone...

NANDROID is included in clockwork recovery which is installed if you root your phone using unrevoked
I'm having a issue where I can't access ClockworkMod Recovery (or any other recovery, to be fair) when booting in HBOOT and selecting Recovery.
If I boot throught ROM Manager, I can go into CM like everybody else. If I try to go manually, I end up in the stock Recovery with exclamation mark.
The thing is that I made a tutorial to install CM in Desire and shared with some friends and all of them, following the same steps I made, can go into CM just by selecting Recovery in HBOOT.
Installed thru Unrevoked succefully but got the same issue.
I've tried to flash CM again thru ROM Manager several times with no luck. I can only go to CM if I use the option in ROM Manager.
I've searched a lot but I don't think I'm finding the correct key words.
Anyone has any ideas?
This is important because if I have problems with flashing some ROM and can't get into Android and ROM Manager, I won't be able to do anything without a PC.
I'm using Official SenseFroyo 1.0c from Open Desire.

You will have to flash a RUU Rom to restore recovery
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
You have forgotten one simple step.
When you choose recovery and get the red exclamation mark with a triangle, as described, you then need to press the volume down key and power at the same time. You will then have a blue text menu, choose apply update.zip to load CW recovery ( assuming you have CW recovery stored on your SD card root folder, renamed to update.zip )

Do you mean flash a RUU Rom and then flash a Custom Recovery back thru ROM Manager?
If so, is there any explanation why out of about 5 Desires rooted and with custom recovery flashed the same way, only 1 can't go into CM Recovery strait from HBOOT?
I'll try that as a last resource... If I can avoid flashing a 2.1 ROM and then a Froyo ROM back this would be nice.
Anyway, thanks for the quick help.

Sorry guys, you were right.
It turns out that dispite having using Unrevoked until it said "done", I though it would install CW directly...
Anyway, I just had to push VolUp + Power properly and managed to go into stock recovery and then flash CW.
Thanks atomfix and gekkonz for your help. I would never figure this out myself...
And that ROM Manager thing pointing out I had CW installed is really misleading, by the way...
Doh, yes vol up not vol down
I'm very sorry is this is a noob question, but how can I flash a .zip? I wanted to flash the Sense 3.0 lockscreen.

If it is a flashable zip, just place it in your sdcard
Flash same as you would a kernel or ROM in CWM Recovery.
If it doesn't work, try mounting system & data partitions in CWM Recovery first.
Edit: As always, a back-up in CWM first in case of boot-loops or corruption. Personally, I also wipe the dalvik cache as well.
copy *.zip on sdcard
1) power off phone
2) press "volume down" + "power"
3) you in bootloader. choose "recovery" (use volume up and down; power button= choose)
4) choose "install zip from sdcard"
5) choose "choose zip from sdcard"
6) make choose and press "power button", then "yes"
reboot..

Best to have a read of a number of threads by the Dev jkoljo. His threads will point you in the right direction. Also, reading them will tell you if your GB build number can be downgrade yet (some newer builds have not yet been hacked).
On mobile right now, but search XDA HTC Desire HD for jkoljo and the following threads;
1. Downgrade
2. S-off tool
3. ENG S-off tool
Don't forget to read all warnings, FAQ and as much of the recent posts as possible.

after all, you may flash STOCK ROM => back you phone to stock state

Why you do not want a permanent root? what visionary plus?
I have 2.36.405.8 so I should be able to downgrade. That's actually what I don't want to do. When I downgrade, I'll lose all my information stored on the device. And I like the stock ROM. I do want root, but I would also like to keep the stock ROM.
Visionary doesn't work with my ROM version (at least I think, because it gives a black screen after I click temproot).
Thanks for the links guys, I finally understand what everybody is talking about!
I wanted to flash the lockscreen from here. But how can I flash it to stock 2.36 if stock 2.36 can't be rooted?
I don't think there's any other way.
I'm using the latest LeeDrOiD GB as in my signature. Very stock looking, smooth, fast and stable. Able to be customized if wanted. It is possible to return to full stock, and guides are found in those threads and elsewhere. For rooting, you'll require ADB setup on your PC with a number of tools such as ADB.exe and fastboot.exe etc. If your new to ADB, this is the most difficult part, and then it's a matter of following the guides step by step,.... exactly.
Best if luck in whatever direction you take.

I've already read the threads, it doesn't seem hard to do. I'm probably going to root and use S-Off. After that, I'm not sure yet. I found the 2.36 ROM which is rooted, that's an option for now.
But I think I'm going to wait until I don't have any exams.

Hi all,
I'm having issues with getting ICS onto my HTC Desire. I have searched the forums, however can't find any easy-to-follow steps when it comes to doing this.
I am running Gingerbread, and have tried to root my device using unrEVOked 3 (however it gets stuck on the final stage saying "Waiting for root... Safe to restart" - I assume it has been done though? I have the ICS image zip file for the HTC Desire
I copied this to the SD card, however, can't find any way of installing it (pressing vol down + power).
I also tried extracting the contents of the archive to the root of the SD card and rebooting (pressing vol down + power), however still can't find any way of installing this...
Am I missing something here?
Is there any "straightforward" guide on the net explaining how to do this?
Any help much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Kim
Take a look at this page http ://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_(GSM):_Full_Update_Guide. Sorry can't post links yet. There is a similar page for the CDMA version as well. Just replace the Cyanogenmod Zip with your ICS Zip and you should be good to go.
I think first you need to check if you're rooted (look for SuperUser in your app drawer). Secondly did you install a custom recovery during the rooting process? That is what you need to access for installing a .zip file, I am not sure what the "ICS image zip file for the HTC Desire" is exactly as I only know of installing a custom ROM to get ICS on the Desire.
Lastly you need to take a backup of your apps using something like Titantium Backup and then when you get into recovery take a full Nandroid backup (back option in recovery).
HBOOT version ?
what's your HBOOT version ? If higher than 0.93, you might want to try out revolutionary.io.
Yes. it is rooted when you get that message. After rooting, you need to install a custom recovery like ClockworkMod Recovery. Download ROM Manager from Play Store and install it, it is really straight-forward. And then turn off the phone and enter the hboot using the Power + VolDown combo. Next scroll down to "recovery" option using Volume keys and confirm it by pressing Power. It will boot to recovery. Using Volume keys wipe data/factory reset and install the zip from the sdcard.

You gotta reboot into recovery. When you boot into the boot loader you can use the volume keys to move to the word recovery, and the power key to select it.
That is if you have a custom recovery installed. Are you gsm or CDMA and do you have clockworkmod or twrp installed?

after you unlock your bootloader, follow the directions under "IMPORTANT" in the bottom of that post for cdma. ill give you a tip, after you install clockworkmod recovery for cdma, when you boot into recovery you will need to use the volume keys to scroll through the list 3 times until at the bottom of the screen it says something like "select button active." the power button is your select button.
after that, follow the directions for "how to make a nandroid backup?" this part is important. its saving a copy of your stock rom so you have it in case something goes wrong.
after you make the nandroid backup of your stock rom, use clockworkmod recovery menu item "mounts and storage" and wipe cache, data, and system. then on the main screen, use "install zip from sdcard" to install your aokp rom you downloaded and jb gapps.
select reboot from the main screen after that, and when the white htc screen with red letters pops up, hold power until the phone resets. once the phone resets, hold volume down. (do not hold volume up, it has the potential to brick your phone) if your bootloader doesnt come up and a black screen with red lettering pops up instead, hold the power button for roughly 8 seconds until your phone resets again, and once again hold volume down until you are in your bootloader menu.

Thanks for all that! I already have the bootloader unlocked and I have the superuser. Should I take off the superuser? Or is the only thing I need to do is to get the clockwork mod and the nandroid backup? Thanks for trying so hard to help. I'm such a noob. Haha
K your off to a great start! Use fast boot to install a recovery, I'd suggest the one in the guide I linked for you. (Clockworkmod) Then do a nandroid backup. Don't worry about removing superuser, your fine with it there. After that you can do the rest of the steps I wrote for you in installing a custom ROM.
Use
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

When I use fast boot to do a recovery, it goes to a screen with e picture of a phone with a green circle mde of arrows and an arrow in the middle, then it goes to a picture of the phone with a red triangle and exclamation point. I'm assuming that means it can't find anything.
Sounds like you are seeing the stock recovery. That means you have to flash a custom recovery. (Clockworkmod)
