Yes

They do but luckily for you, HTC have pulled the most recent update as it was causing problems for users! When the update is back up and you flash it you will be unable to root your DHD as HTC have patched the exploit we have used to attain root.
The lastest update didn't add any unmissable features, but just fixed some bugs (such as the above mentioned exploit) and added others, there is an improvement in battery life but that is due to the new radio, which you can flash seperately.

Ahh. Thanks for the info, but is it difficult to root the DHD? I previously had a rooted HTC hero.

If your using a newer software version, you may have to downgrade before you can root.

If you have stock rom 1.7x you have to downgrade it. There are some guides on how to do that in the developer part of the desire hd forum

Ok. Thank you. Is there q method that I should be looking for in particular? Found ten different ways to do it. Many thanks
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Use the method that is in sticky roll up thead in android development subforum.
Ok. Thanks again....much appreciated. Sorry for all the questions. Is there a Rom available with a workable version of 2.3 available? Or will the DHD be getting the upgrade. Find the phone has a lot of stuff in it I don't need and I think its creating a lag. Thanks again

i pesonally would use the cyanogenmod wiki to root, but its your choice. and im pretty sure youll need a custom rom to flash a kernel that supports overclocking. i doubt anyone makes modded stock kernels. i would use icecold sandwich and it has built in up to 2.03ghz

I Guess If You Root You Cant Receive any official updates
Its tricky...you benefit a Lot more from rooting than if not...if your woriied about losing stock there are rooted untouched roms in the Dev section then you can overclock etc...I'd go that route..even when HTC release sense and ics a variant rooted version of that will be on here anyway...stocks okay but if your overclocking then you have more of a genuine interest in what you want your phone to be doing so in that respect also you will become just like most people and flashing till you get what you want
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
Thanks for all the useful information mates. I have heard that all the ics customs roms have bugs like camera, video playback, touch problem etc. So i will root my desire hd for over clocking after getting the bug free rom. And can anyone suggest me some good apps for Desire hd.
Thanks in advance .....

Custom rom help

I am a new user of the HTC DHD, i wanna know if there is any rom that has the least bugs and good battery as i am on the official 2.3.5 android and the battery life is making me wana die, i need my wifi all the time so please suggest a rom which has no problem with wifi and app running
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app
Which rom do you currently use ? the stock one ?
If so, Sense consumes a bit more battery than AOSP roms.
I used to have Cyanogenmod 7.2 with LordModUE 8.9b7 kernel. And it is very very good.
That's for GB roms.
Both JellyTime and IceColdSandwhich roms are good too (but still in beta).
But Wifi is far from being cool with a battery ... Wifi is energy-greedy!!

If you wand the stock HTC look a recommend android revolution
If you wand better performances and battery life use AOSP(android open source project) or Cyanogenmod of AOKP(android open kang project)
Ice cold sand witch have verry good battery life (only bug is camcorder for wat I know)
Which one do u recommend? Aosp or aokp?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app
Cyanogenmod 7.2 is rock stable !
Most of the GB rom are very stable too, and almost bug free.
You have to try each rom, Sense feeling ? Aosp one ?
I used SmartDroid for a long time and really enjoyed it.
Newer roms, 4.0 or 4.1 based are still buggy and lack some features but are already very fast and gives you the most recent android experience.
It's up to you to find the one that fits your needs.
One more point, updating your Radio can be good for your battery too.
I personnaly use 26.14.04.28_M without any issue. (but I may update it now, as I've just flashed Jelly time )
I think i'll go for the cyanogen 7.0, does it give a better battery life?
And btw what is "kernal" and which one should i use and how?

Go for 7.2 instead of 7.0
7.2 is the stable one for Desire HD: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=ace
A kernel is the core of the operating system. To extremely sum up, it deals with your hardware and your programs.
Installing a new one can give you some optimizations, better response, better battery etc.
I personally used the LordModUE kernels. Here is a direct link for the lastest version: http://blackice.omca.co.uk/download...ger-kernels/lordmodUEv8.9-CFS-b7-2WCR-TUN.zip
But be aware that to flash a kernel, you need to first boot with the kernel of the rom (here the CM one), then flash the new one.

First of all, and prior to flashing any rom, you need to perform a nandroid backup.
This is a backup of your current ROM, making an image of each partition, to be able to restore it later, in case of a crash or anything else.
Once you've rooted your phone, a recovery should be installed.
To perform a nandroid backup, you reboot into recovery and choose "backup".
Or, you can install Rom Manager from the market, and choose the same option.
Once this is done, and only after this, you're good to flash any rom you want !
Another method exits to reflash the stock rom, using RUU.
I won't explain this as you can find your answer on this forum.
EDIT: don't forget to check MD5 or SHA1 sum to check the ROM/kernel integrity you download.
I use camera a lot is there any jelly bean custom mod with a working camera cause I am now bored to look at the dame gingerbread is since past 1 yr almost....want some change....
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app
As far as I know, Jelly Time has a working stock camera app.
Actually, video recording in 720p is the only issue. Then, yes, I can take pictures with the stock app on Jelly Time ROM (currently beta 11).
If you want to record a video, you'll have either to change the resolution to 480p or use another app from the market (Videocam Illusion I believe, didn't test it though).
More information here.
The others JB based ROMs are currently too immature for now, and are not as stable as JellyTime.
Also, please be warn that you need to read the opening post (OP) carefully, the moderators are getting annoyed with all the same questions, which answers can be found in the OP.

Advance Ace Hack Kit - a tool developed by former xda member attn1 used to root, SIM Unlock & ENG S-OFF (ENG S-OFF allows you to flash custom ROM's without security checks e.g. md5 checks, bypassing restrictions placed by HTC on our device). He removed the link to it from the forums as he left xda due to personal reasons. Search attn1 ace hack kit on google to find it, as he hosts it on his website now

Yes your contacts, data and all personal data will be wiped upon flashing a new ROM, as flashing a ROM almost always requires you to wipe the data partitions. I reccomend you backup all of your data to avoid it. If your android and Sense version is android 2.3.5 and Sense version 3.0 then then you will have to downgrade your software version then attempt root
