Stoopid noob needs advice,please dont flame.

Sorry,i imagine this has been asked many times before.I have seen mention of Hard spl's and other thing a ma jigs lol.
Many thanks Tony

You really have a lot of reading to do. So much that we cannot post it all here. It has taken an entire forum for all of the information. You need to start here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Get familiar with what you can do. First thing you are going to want to do is update the boot loader so you don't brick your device. Read here for more information:

Do not "just install" ... ideally read the wiki first, and then follow instructions on Mrvanx's Guide. Upgrading is pretty painless and easy ... and the guide should keep you on track.

A ha ,i knew there would be more to it than that,not sure what a wiki is lol but looks like im gonna find out.
If someone could just give me a list of things to do before hand ill do the appropriate reading
i.e 1 upgrade the boot loader etc etc ,please dont go into detail a mere shopping list will do.
,thanks for the links by the way.
Best wishes tony

If you follow the advice in link #3 above you wont go wrong.
The site referred to gives you all the knowledge and confidence to do the job.
Trust me I learnt the same way, by reading threads.

Read the threads concerning the threads on available roms.
Understand what you have read.
Flash your phone.

Here you go... step by step list of everything you need to do to upgrade to the Black 3.0:

My subjective pick is Black 3.01 ...
Remember to go "Hard SPL" first, and that you need to upgrade your radio seperately.

Right just updated the Hard splv7 and my radio to 1.41.00.10,ive also flashed with black 3.0. Now i cant seem to get a wireless link to work or turn on my bluetooth?
Also does this mean i can flash any cooked rom?
Many thanks Tony

Update: it just needed a reboot and all was well.
Getting back to the above question-can i flash with any coocked rom now?
Thanks for all your help.Tony

generally speaking, yes.... but be sure you are flashing OS only (unless you want to upgrade your radio too). Most folks are putting out OS only upgrades now, but some replace the radio. once you are hard spl and no longer a flashing virgin, it becomes second nature.

Thanks for everyones help,all sorted,nice one!

Wow what a refreshing read. A noob explaining himself and asking clear questions and members helping him out in an open and non-judgemental way...
Well done everyone!

...and no flames...
Kudos go to MrVanx for those incredible guides.

Yep superb guides and a very noob friendly thread,thanks again peeps.Flashed to a couple of different roms today to check them out.

Option 1: Put your PDA in bootloader mode [Visit this link to find out how: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Resets] and flash a new ROM.
Option 2: Flash a new ROM from the SD Card [Visit this link to find out how: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing].
Note: If you have read the wiki you would have foub how to do it...
Cheers.

wow fast response, thank you. I will try the sd card option as I cannot go to bootload mode, all I have is this beta screen.

You cannot go to bootloader mode? Howcome? Why can't you do it? Have yu read the link i posted befre to see how you should do it? This is very simple... Just press OK+POWER and while pressing it stick the stylus on the soft reset hole and then release the buttons... Intead of choosing the SD Card flash you sould try the other process first... If you can flash normally why use another method...?
Well, that's up o you. Both methods are functional
Cheers.

ahh so sorry, silly me. the reset button not a reset option on screen, jeez one day I will get my head around this... thanks again

Kevlar-Source, whats wrong with using the sd card method? Its a helluva lot safer than flashing via pc. No chance of jail sentence because a "cleanaholic" accidently pressed the reset button while wiping over the front of your wire mesh fronted screnn with a wet soapy clothe because, and I quote, "It looked dirty". Justifiable homicide if you ask me.....

app2SD

can someone provide us a tutorial for windows users about how to install app2sd on rooted desire's, without installing cooked ROM's? because i saw that many of you had bad experience about this, and it's better to have a small tutorial about this kind of installation. thx

Start with a task 29, and then load the stock rom. If you can do that then perhaps your phone is not bricked.

Here is a link to the US Cellular shipped Rom. Let us know how it works out for you! Just keep trying, I have not bricked a device yet! =]

It sounds like you have a CDMA TP2. I would sugest that you read the forums at PPC they focus more on CDMA roms.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-tp-development/
Now I would sugest the Energy rom myself. Lots of people like it. I am running an android rom, but I would sugest you get the hand of WM first. You can run the android rom from and SD card, but if you want to load it from internal nand memory it is much more complicated.

+1 Wizardknight. I would check out these two threads for two excellent Roms:
Energy Rom
Sharkie405 Rom
You are welcome for the help. Thank you for the 'Thanks'. =]

Nexus has become sluggish after recent update (how should I restore or root?)

I'm trying to fix my cousin's galaxy nexus that was bought new a few months ago. It's jus that after the recent system update, his whole phone has become sluggish, and it doesn't feel right. I must admit that I've never owned an Android device (neither has he) so we both really don't know how to fix it or restore the phone. I looked in the development section but its just so overwhelming, not sure what I should be looking for or trying out..
Can someone please point this beginner in the right direction? I read that the latest update was causing problems and people installed the "stock version" on their phones, which made it better, but I don't know I how I would go about doing that.
I'd appreciate some feedback thanks!

I know this is not a support site but this is the section to ask for help, isn't it? I read through that sticky but it doesn't necessarily explain how I would go about restoring me phone to install a stock copy of the latest Android..I really don't want to mess up this phone so that is why I want to confirm everything before I try to load something onto it.

If you scroll to the 2nd post in that thread there's a link to a guide to return to stock as well as a guide to root.

Best way to make it quick is to earse everything like I did after owning my Nexus for 1 yr. Back up everything that needs backing up on a computer.
But the New 4.2 update is pretty heavy and causes lag. Also having low storage space can cause it to slow down too I think.
Here's what I recommend. Root it. Have u done that yet? If not I'll help. It's REALLY easy. Only four commands(I believe) and a driver for adb and fastboot and the SUfile and the recovery.img.
This will EARSE everything. So you'll be fresh. And then put ur freshly backed up stuff back on the phone.
