Hi,
I have a HTC Desire HD which I would like to root and flash with new software, as HTC is not providing the newest available software versions for download.
I have searched a lot on the forum, and also found several forum articles, but I am new to performing these steps for root and flash, so I am looking for a more detailed step by step guide... as it seems to be easy to forget something, when looking at all the information on for example this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231450
I have been told by an experienced developer that I need to do this:
1. Root S-Off + Eng SOff
2. Then install ROM Manager - and install all from there
But I have no clue how to do this root and steps for the rest as well.
I think that I would like to try this flash = BinDroid RUNMED2.5 V1.6 FINAL
from this link = http://xda.bindroid.com/custom-rom/runmed25.html
But how I root the phone and what else steps I need to do in what order is difficult to understand from the example link mentioned.
Are anyone of you able to provide me with a NOOB instruction step by step guide which explain in detail step 1, step 2, step 3 etc. - as I am afraid to destroy / crash my phone if I do not do it the exact correct way?!
Thanks a million in advance for your help!
Cheers,
Osukido
Read this thread.

Edit: use the ace hack kit to root your phone.
But before you try to root, read the effin manual 20 times - seriously. Once you are done reading it, read it a few more times. Seriously.
Then you can perform the steps in the link.

DON'T FLASH ENG S-OFF, if your phone was shipped with gingerbread. You will mess the bootloader. You don't need it anyway....for rooting and S-OFF use the Hack Kit, that is the only game in town...

Hi All,
I read the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=25497205 - but it explain what to do with a rooted phone.
Mine is not rooted yet, and the steps are not NOOB enough for me, and I cannot find link to the effin manual or step by step how to root and flash.
Is both the "BinDroid RUNMED2.5 V1.6 FINAL" - and Kernel download files from this link needed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231450 - or where do I find detailed step by step instructions.
I saw this description = "Perfect instructions are in the first post of the ROM thread"... but I do not know which post is the first in which ROM thread etc.
See... I am a clear NOOB, and need very detailed description on where to find information. Sorry mates.
Cheers,
Osukido
By the way - then my HTC Desire HD has these specs:
Android 2.3.5
HTC-Sence 3.0
Software number 3.12.405.1
Kernel system 2.6.35.10-g931a37e [email protected] #1
Baseband version 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
Versionnumber 3.12.405.1 CL199157 release-keys
Browser version WebKit/533.1
Thanks in advance.

First, before you root your phone read and then read again. If you can't find the first post, well.... It's hard to put it nicely.
The first post of a thread will be the 1st post
It is the first page of a thread.
To root, use the ace advanced kit (which has a manual that explains how to use it called "the effin manual). It is easy to use, but at the same time you need to understand it. It was designed to make you get accostumed to reading. You will find almost any question you have right here on xda. It will be easier to search for a question using your computer instead of the xda app on your phone.
If this is still too difficult, ask a friend to help you - two heads are better than one.
One more thing. DO NOT FLASH A ROM FROM A DIFFERENT PHONE. STAY IN THE DESIRE HD FORUM.
There are a few roms where you need to install the previous version before installing the latest version.
Your first link took me no where.
You do not need those scripts. You can use them if you want.
Sorry if this is confusing, just woke up from a nap after a long night of drinking

Read the Ace Think Tank thread. Most of your questions are answered there.
Hi,
Before I ask the question I would like to apologize, in case this is not the appropriate location for this thread. I tried to search via XDA search for my question but I don't think I found the answer, but maybe have a sort of an idea about it.
Basically my question is:
My friend gave me a T-Mobile Samsung S3 (SGH-T999, 4.1.1), and he was asking me is it possible to get Arabic as the system font instead of the default English?
From what I did via my research. I discovered that I need to root and install a custom rom, if I am not mistaken. Is this the only way to do this, or is there any other method of doing so?
Furthermore, can I be linked to a tutorial, or step by step instruction on rooting the device on this firmware.
I appreciate everyones' assistance.
Thank You!
Hey, guys, I am a complete noob when it comes to custom ROMs and a friend recommended this place. I was wondering if you guys could give me a step by step guide on how to root my device and put Cyanogen on it as that is what was recommend to me. It is a UK phone if that has a bearing as well. Sorry you probably had plenty of these threads

Thanks for that valuable help
I have Europe version of the phone named in the title.
I have a phone in the second picture posted here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/el...om-2016-p8000-6-0-european-b-version-t3444337
So my question is there any way to root and without consequences? It's more than a year on the market, and there should be some way. If there is anybody who knows some working trick and doesn't mind posting step by step tutorial here I wold be grateful.
Thanks in advance.
