Why doesn't any of the custom kernels work with S-on WFS a510e GSM hboot 1.09.099? It is already htcdev unlocked and CWM installed, and custom rom installed and rooted. All stock kernels are working, but the others doesn't boot, stuck at white htc screen.
I flashed CWM and it stays, it doesnt disappear on my phone. And I can always flash anything, i said i flashed custom rom, its flashed and i use it, but modified kernel inside of it doesnt boot and work, and if i flash stock kernel over it, it boots and works flawlessly. I saw so many complaints like this but i've never seen any solution to it, i searched too much but i could find nothing about it. If someone really understood the problem, any help is needed immediately.
You need to unlock the phone, try reading some posts about unlocking and rooting, then you can progress with installing custom roms.

It is already htcdev unlocked and CWM installed, and custom rom installed and rooted my friend! How can I flash without unlocking, try thinking before writing.
Ok my mistake, but have you seriously looked around this forum? it has taken me 2 minutes to find the answer to your question just by searching
Try reading before writing you need to practice what you preach my friend !
Try reading this, it was posted in another thread in this section of the WFS part of the forum, I have pasted the relevant post further down, here is the link so that you can read the rest for yourself and find the answers to your questions;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1651536
" I have a S-ON, Unlocked Bootloader just like you. There are no way to root after u unlocked bootloader (because u need to update to lastest Hboot in order to UBL). I'd tried all tools i can find on xda and NONE of them can be use to root. There also don't have any clear guide for S-ON with UBL show how to install custom rom and get root.
But after few days digging up the forum, i'd managed to install custom rom + root. I share with you:
After your phone bootloader unlocked via HTCdev, your phone sure will have either HBOOT-1.08.0099 or HBOOT-1.09.0099. You'll need a ClockworkMod recovery image on your computer to install rom + root. And you'll need a working Android SDK with Fastboot to do get ClockworkMod working on ur S-ON phone.
OK let's say now you have fastboot folder alr, and know how to use it.
1. Download lastest clockwork mod .img here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
2. put the file .img just downloaded to the fastboot folder.
3. Turn off phone, then hold volume down + power ---> wait the menu searching for the zip file (of course we ignore this) then press Power again to go to fastboot menu.
4. connect phone to laptop via usb cable.
5. Open fastboot folder, right click choose open command windows here.
5a. If you are on HBOOT-1.08.0099:
Copy this and right click to the command windows, paste then enter, ur phone will automatic restart to CWM menu:
fastboot -c "mtdparts=msm_nand:[email protected](misc),[email protected](recovery),[email protected](boot),[email protected](system),[email protected](cache),[email protected](userdata),[email protected](devlog),[email protected](hboot)" boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
5b. If you are on HBOOT-1.09.0099:
Copy this and right click to the command windows, paste then enter, ur phone will automatic restart to CWM menu:
fastboot -c "mtdparts=msm_nand:[email protected](misc),[email protected](recovery),[email protected](boot),[email protected](system),[email protected](cache),[email protected](userdata),[email protected](devlog),[email protected](hboot)" boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
Ok men, now u just download any rom u like, put it to ur memory card and flash rom like normal.
Remember that, everytime u flash new rom, u need to repeat the whole process from step 3 to step 5.

Clear Dalvik-Cache and make sure the kernel you are installing is made for that ROM.

Taco, I always clean all the caches before flashing any rom.
And aef, thanks for your efforts my friend but this is not the answer for my problem I think, cause i flashed CWM and it stays, it doesnt disappear on my phone. And I can always flash anything, i said i flashed custom rom, its flashed and i use it, but modified kernel inside of it doesnt boot and work, and if i flash stock kernel over it, it boots and works flawlessly. I saw so many complaints like this but i've never seen any solution to it, i searched too much but i could find nothing about it. If someone really understood the problem, any help is needed immediately.
could it be to do with overclocking?
i know that some phones are less able to handle overclocking than others, so maybe anything over the standard 600Mhz which stock kernels use is causing the phone to freeze up?
unusual to not even get past white htc with this though :s
you could try custom kernel and maybe change some of the startup parameters so that it boots with standard 600Mhz on demmand cpu settings within custom kernel, then you can boot up, try different settings with nofrills cpu, and see how stable it is then?
personally i keep at 600Mhz now.....i can put upto 768, but even then it will occasionally go nuts and feeeze up....600 is the most stable for my particular phone
Have you tried 600mhz default from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21423190

I have a Kernel problem too and don't wanted to open a new Topic for it so i'll write it here.
If i flash a new Kernel which I can overclock and do it the Phone freezes and Reboot then, what could be the Problem?

Hello first off all. I dont know if anyone else here got the same problem but I could not find anyone.
Hello, I tried to root my DHD to get ICS (i know it is not yet done). But after i tried to update it or install it i cant boot Android... It's getting stuck on the HTC logo, however I can boot into bootloader and into clockworkmod v4.0.1.4.
So now I want to get back to stock, root it properly, take a backup (YES i forgot to do it -.-) and try again to get ICS.
Anything else u need?
Before i rooted i think i had 3.12.405.1, but i am not sure.
I also updated to Sense 3.0
And i am banned from the hack kit irc. (i asked for help and they helped me a bit, but not enough, I did NOT ask for passkey)
btw. I am new to this root and flash things so i hope u be noobfriendly
Thanks for any answer.
And I did try to reroot it. (I KNOW, bad idea)
Anyone got any ideas? :C
Ifyou have access to cwr did you wipe and flash a new rom? Push come to shove you can always reflash an ruu.
I think i wiped and tried to install CM, but then the boot was already screwed (i think, i cant remember)? what do u mean about "push come to shove you can always reflash an ruu"?
Is it just to download the ruu .zip file and flash it? (Want back to stock)
Correct. Just download your pd98img.zip place in root of SD card and flash in hboot. Or alternatively download the ruu.execonnect your phone to pc. Go into hboot and select fastboot and run the program from your pc
I have used the ICS for a few days, after I root failed(on 2.3.5 with sense3 RUU). Taste good but the Camera doesnt work on ICS4. I do it like this:
1. Flash your DHD to 2.3.3 with the RUU.
2. ROOT it via aahk-17122011
3. Flash the ICS_BeatMod_Beta_v6.1 via clockworkmod to your DHD
then, Taste it!
ITS my first post here. If I do something wrong, tell me pls.

My brother would like to thank you. You saved his life. I just rooted my DHD and he decide to flash some rom without my permission. First he installed CM7 but he didnt like it and decided to flash BinDroid. Idk what he did then. He said he started to flash it via ROM manager...So first he flashed BinDroid_EXT4_FULL_WIPE.zip ..So i guess he wiped everything.Phone worked only in CWM but never started.Couldnt recover earlier version.Stucked with HTC logo and thats all. So i've tried to flash another ROM in CWM but no matter what foldier i place zip i could never see it when i have to browse zip to install. Readed dosens of manuals of flashing.They said i have to rename the ROM i want to flash - update.zip and then it would be recognized..Never happen. So i just decided to buy new phone and break his neck when i saw this thread .Idk what is root folder - some ppl say its the main folder of your card,without any sub folders,other say i should create new folder - root and put it there. But when i putted your file in main SD card folders it didnt "see" it. When i putted it in Root folder it didnt see the folder at all. By "it" i mean me when i was browsing in CWM. So then i putted this file u say in a empty folder of my card that i could see when i CWM. So i again reboot in CWM,browsed to it and saw the file there. Installing didnt help. It said error and file could not be installed..In a pure despiration moment i decided to chose update from CWM and bloody hell...it recognized the file u said to install and started to install BinDroid ROM?! I guess i forgot BinDroid rom named as update.zip,when i was trying to flash it.So now my brother is alive thanks to you. IDK what and how i did it and how to update new roms from now on but at least i have my phone..

So I should just use the ruu .zip and unroot it, then root it, wipe all data, and then install the ICS_Beatmod?
Ok, after i have rooted it, shall i run the hmod for the PD98IMG? And BTW. It says that i am S-ON in the bootloader....
1. install the PD98IMG.
2. Run the RUU .exe
3. root it
4. run the hmod for installing the "PD98IMG" again? when i am in the bootloader it asks me if i want to update. (Allready there is says i am S-ON)
5. removing the PD98IMG (manualy, not from the hackkit)
6. Wont go to Clockworkmod.
7. Still S-ON
8. ???????????
Shall i delete the HTCsync drivers that is on my phone?
I had to root it twice, but now I am stuck on boot graphics... Do i have to install the new kernell too?
nvm. got everything worked out now
dude if you can access CWM, just push any ROM to your sd card via adb, flash it, use it until the camera issue is fixed and then enjoy ICS. Don't go back to stock. I have adb in CWM thus you should too. These custom roms are much better than stock and if you want the interface just pick one with Sense.
Hey, guys. I'm a Xperia arc S developer, but I also own a HTC Wildfire S and I found out a very easy and fast way to flash CWM, kernel and ROM on our Marvel devices. So, here is the guide step-by-step:
Unlock the bootloader using this site ------------->HTC Dev
Download any custom kernel you want.
Download recovery -----> CWM for WFS
Download any ROM you want and place it on SD card.
Open Windows Terminal Emulator in directory where you have fastboot files (you got them during unlocking bootloader)
Put your phone in fastboot mode by (when device is off) holding power button and volume down, than confirming "fastboot" option by pushing power button.
Connect your phone to PC via USB.
In opened Terminal Emulator on PC type
Code:
fastboot devices
If Terminal shows you one device available you can proceed to next step.
In Terminal type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERYNAME.img
In Terminal type
Code:
fastboot flash boot KERNELNAME.img
Unplug the USB cable from phone and confirm "bootloader" option by pushing power button.
Highlight "recovery" using volume buttons and confirm power button.
You'll see now CWM recovery. Optionally, go to "backup and restore" and make a backup - there's always 1% chance somothing goes wrong.
Select "wipe user data/factory reset".
Go to "install zip from sd card".
Then - "choose zip from sd card" and choose .zip with your ROM.
Confirm installation and wait.
Select "reboot system now".
Enjoy custom ROM!
I hope it makes you flashing custom ROMs on HTC Wildfire S even a little bit clearer.
Click "thanks"! :good:

Hi,
I'm new to android but have flashed lots of Windows Mobile type devices in my time.
I have unlocked the WFS bootloader sucessfully. I put the device into fastboot mode, connect to USB and open the CMD window. I type in the command and successfully write the recovery file (in about 3 seconds?). Now this is where progress halts for me:
If I got into bootloader, and then recovery, the phone vibrates once and displays the white screen with the HTC logo. And there it remains! I left it for quite a while (say 20-30 mins) just in case it was doing something that took time but alas, no.
I can remove the battery and reboot into bootloader, OR get back into "normal use" with a normal restart, so the device isn't bricked. I just can't seem to get into recovery. I've followed this and another tutorial from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878031 both saying pretty much the same thing.
Have I missed an obvious step please? Everything looks like it's executed correctly, but I seem a little stuck. Do I need a new Kernel to get into recovery? That makes no sense to me, but I repeat: I'm new to Android!
This is a WFS on UK TESCO network, 2.3.5 ROM installed from the factory, HTC sense.

Why do you have to download a kernel? It's just more difficult.. Just flash the ROM and there you have a kernel and with CM you can overclock your phone easily... And if you dont have CM, download ROM Toolbox from Play Store and there you can overclock your phone too
Btw, nice and easy tutorial

I tried to install custom rom as described:
1. I unlocked bootloader
2. I not sure if I did any kernel
3. I flashed the CWM recovery of "recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img"
4. I flashed the ROM of "marvel-cm-9.0.0-rc0-unofficial_rom-alpha2-signed.zip" (this is the only rom that I can successfully flashed from your list)
The ROM is very smooth but I was facing WIFI HOTSPOT tethering problem, and the internal storage is very limited, therefore I tried to flash back to the original stock ROM RUU. That's how I ended up with the RELOCK bootloader and I couldn't get it back to UNLOCK. I tried "fastboot oem unlock" but failed.
My questions:
Is there any ROM that is compatible with the CWM recovery which have no problem with WIFI and WIFI HOTSPOT? (limited internal memory is not really a major concern to me, it is just could be superb if I can have more apps with it)
If I wanna flash back to the original stock ROM, what could I do at this stage?
Please help me, your advice would be very much grateful to me. TQ

You can install this ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256576
It is the original ROM, a little bit customized. While installing you'll have a program which will ask you which options you want for your ROM, for example which theme, etc. You can choose to keep the original look and apps.
If you want more internal memory, make a second partition (format ext4) on your SD card. Search the web for a tutorial. Then in the installer select int2ext when prompted. And you're done

Question, nothing wrong with your guide. If we have s-on why are we booting the kernel? Recovery can't flash the kernel so wouldn't we have to flash it not boot from it?
Thanks
I've had my phone for a year now. I've hit the internal memory limit thanks to the app updates and I'm getting really sick of the performance issues.
I've been wanting to root for a while but thanks to .62 being nigh unrootable by normal methods (including unlockroot.com), I'm stuck trying to figure out the instructions for flashing which for some reason are incomprehensible to me. I appreciate FMA965's efforts to explain things as much as possible, but I'm still lost on a few things and hope you guys can help.
My first attempt at using Flashtool nearly ended in disaster. There wasn't anywhere mentioning specifically what flashing is and that flashing the firmware wipes the phone. I did back up so the losses were minimal (just my notes and some progress on a game in FPSe either because I forgot to backup or the backup function was screwy). I tried flashing a second time and that seemed to have bricked the phone somewhat, but I managed to restore it back to stock.
It seems the stock firmwares I downloaded weren't properly recognized by Flashtool. I thought I was flashing into .42 or .58 but only the .62 I got for recovery was being recognized.
Also, how do I know if I have the correct USB drivers installed? Currently all the softwares I tried (Flashtool, unlockroot, SuperOneClick and the SE PC Companion) recognize my phone. Am I done with that part or am I missing something? Also, how do I know which stock roms are compatible with my phone? I'm not very knowledgeable about custom roms, so I'd rather just stick with a rooted stock so I can at least get rid of the bloatware and free up precious memory.
After tons of google searching in and out of the board I've seen several methods but there's always one or several steps that I have no idea how to do (for the record, I checked and it seems I can unlock the bootloader or my R800i):
1- Clockwork Recover Mod before FMA965's guides a lot of people were pointing to this as the way to root the Play 0.62. I can't find any instructions on how to apply this thing.
2- The ADB/SDK force SD card install method. Does this method make anything get installed on the SD card regardless of root? Or does it just put the stuff that can already be moved so you don't have to do it manually?
3- How to root 2011 Xperia range. "For this guide i will be using official firmware xx.xx.xx.62 which will be flashed via wotan."<-- I do not understand this step. Why does .62 need to be flashed and why by wotan? What is fastboot and why do I need to do that?
4- Doomlord's Advanced Stock Kernel. When everyone is talking about Doomlord's ASK, is that what they are referring to?
5- Root and Install CyanogenMod7 after Unlock Your Bootloader. Does this method still work?
So right now that's about 3 methods to root but I unsuccessfully tried one and can't figure out the other two.
Appreciate any help in sorting out this confusion.
If you can unlock your bootloader, I think the easiest way is probably to go ahead and do that first, then you can follow the instructions to install the Gin2JB Rom here which I find is the fastest one around and the process is very simple. You will need to install the Lupus kernel here.
Thanks, but that step requires flashing, which is still a process I'm having trouble with due to incompatible stock firmware roms.

you mean you are having troubling flashing kernel or flashing the stock image using flashtools ?
The easiest way to root ANY Android device, running ANY verison / firmware, is to boot into recovery and flash a superuser.zip
In the case for the Xperia Play, you can easily have your bootloader unlocked, and use fastboot to flash a custom kernel and boot recovery or use fastboot to boot a recovery.img , either method , then just flash the superuser .zip like normal and BAM your rooted

See, this is why it's so confusing.
You guys just mixed steps from like 3 different tutorials. Will this wipe my phone like flashing a rom? And can I use a custom kernel with a stock rom?
Lemme try to piece this together:
I unlock the bootloader. Then I grab the fastboot package from this thread and extract it to the PC. Shift + Right Click the folder and press "Open Command Window Here", then I run the run_me.bat file then I turn off my phone, plug the USB and hold the search button to go into fastboot. Did I get that right so far?
Where do I get recovery.img and superuser.zip and where do I put them? The SD card?
Here are some instructions for if you want stock firmware, kernel and all. If you want to change the kernel and/or rom, I'll add such instructions upon request.
Turn your phone off with the battery intact.
Go download an older firmware from here (you'll have to scroll down quite a bit).
Place the .ftf file in "C:\Flashtool\firmwares" or wherever your flashtool installation is.
Open Flashtool (as administrator if option is available).
Click on the lightning icon and click 'OK' on the following pop-up.
On the left of this new menu, highlight your downloaded .ftf (it should read somewhere along the lines of "|R800i |4.0.2.A.0.XX | -Name of vendor or region goes here- ). On the right, leave all settings as they are except "Wipe data" which you must uncheck. Now click 'OK'.
Wait for the menu instructing you to plug the phone in. Do so: insert the usb of the turned off phone while holding down the back (leftmost) key. Please note that if the menu does not vanish upon doing this then you do not have the required drivers.
Wait while Flashtool does its job. You will know that it's done when the text "Device disconnected" appears in the program window.
Disconnect the phone and turn it on.
If you followed the instructions properly, the phone should boot into the older version with all downloaded apps, data and settings intact.
Insert USB.
Follow instructions here.
There you are. It's rooted. There may be certain apps missing; these are usually preinstalled apps that were on your system partition which was formatted during the flashing process.

See, this is why it's so confusing.
You guys just mixed steps from like 3 different tutorials. Will this wipe my phone like flashing a rom? And can I use a custom kernel with a stock rom?
Lemme try to piece this together:
I unlock the bootloader. Then I grab the fastboot package from this thread and extract it to the PC. Shift + Right Click the folder and press "Open Command Window Here", then I run the run_me.bat file then I turn off my phone, plug the USB and hold the search button to go into fastboot. Did I get that right so far?
Where do I get recovery.img and superuser.zip and where do I put them? The SD card?

You have it right indeed. First thing i would flash the 4.0.2.A.0.62 FTF file using FlashTool (flashtool can be found in the development section, first or second thread) after it is done and If your boot loader is unlocked, go to the LuPus v7 for Gingerbread thread (also in the development section) download his kernel, then to make it easier, rename the file "boot.img" now plug your phone in USB for fast boot mode, and in the command window type " fastboot flash boot boot.img" When it is done unplug and power it on, when the notification lite turns blue press up or down (up or down will indicate which "recovery" version you want to enter) once in recovery choose "instal from SD card" and select the superuser.zip and instal it. You can find the superuser.zip in a few places, but Wedgess made it easy, its also in the LuPus v7 for Gingerbread thread so you can download it from there. Then reboot and your rooted with running 2.3.4!
It seems like a lot I suppose but once you a familiar with it, it becomes second nature, once you get that down, your ready to give some custom roms a try, the developers in the xperia play forums have done some nice work!
Sent from my R800at
Thanks, but like I explained before I don't understand why the .62 needs to be flashed and I'm having trouble finding stocks that are recognized by Flashtool on my R800i. Is there a region independent .62 or .58 I can use?
Flashing the stock ROM (.62) will wipe everything, it's more like a factory reset and will make it the pure original Xperia Play ROM, meaning that there will be nothing that could cause problems when installing custom ROMs on top of it. There's a link of stock .ftf files in the "official firmware" section here, see if you can flash R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf onto your Play with flashtool, as when you also flash a custom kernal later, this will unlock some hidden internal space.
On the other hand, have you managed to unlock the bootloader using Sony's official method (that you linked in #7)?
Yes. That was luckily the easiest step.
After much fidgeting around and cross comparing instructions, I finally managed to root the damn thing. I would have preferred not install a custom kernel without fully understanding what it does but I was getting impatient and everything seems to be working fine so far so no problems there. Feels good to finally be able to use Titanium Backup to toss all that stupid bloatware out.
Thanks to everyone who helped! :good:
So I'm assuming that in the future any updates or replacements to the kernel or the need to install a custom ROM will require wiping everything all over again? It's not a huge hindrance to me since I don't have a lot of apps and data restoration is simple, but I figure that since this is an almost weekly/monthly thing for some people here is there some kind of method to batch restore all your data and settings in a few steps?
I just got an HTC Desire A8181, and it is my very first time using an Android Device. The thing is that I already know that you can do a lot of things with Android devices (thats why I swapped from iOS to Android). Now here is my point, I basically need to know:
Basics about software and OS customizing for Android.
Basic things to know before do anything to my phone.
Tutorials for root the device (HTC Desire A8181)
Want to know if it is possible to make the phone work faster in terms of Manage the Processor and Ram Usage, how to do it, and understand the process.
And any other information that could be useful in order to make my phone work a lot better (take into consideration that I'm new with the OS and the phone, so there are a lot of things that I dont know about this theme.)
I also want to know if it is possible to install the latest Android Version on my HTC Desire and make it work fast.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
The desire comes with sense 2.3 gingerbread. Sense is HTC's skin that they overlay ontop of the android operating system. Although it may look nice (doesnt really look that good to me), it is heavy and causes decreases in performance. When you s-off your device, and install a custom recovery you will be able to flash an aosp based custom rom. Aosp = android open source project, and basically means stock pure android...nothing running on top. As you can probably predict, this will result in faster speeds, less ram usage, and better battery. I think that answers the first few questions.
Next Ill move on to how to root it (make your phone good). I honestly think the term "root" is deceiving to most new users. I see people asking "how do i root my phone", but i think what they really want is to install a custom recovery and flash a custom rom. Being rooted on stock rom is pointless to me. Custom roms are where the good stuff is at.
Post your bootloader details here and ill walk you through the process. To get these details turn the phone off, then hold power + volume down until the phone boots into the bootloader. It should look similar to this. Post all of the first couple of lines at the top. The whole process summarized is this: s-off, install custom recovery, flash custom rom
There are also some other things that i would recommend doing so that you can have extra space for apps (you probably noticed you barely have any space at the moment), but ill get to that later when i give you more instructions.
Thanks for response so fast!

Nope, just your bootloader details for now.
Please tell me that I did not ****ed my phone
Ok so here is my problem now on, I tried to flash the CyanogenMod, but I dont know if i ****ed my phone or im just missing something...
Here is what I did:
1- I followed the instructions on another thread about the HTC_Unlock_Bootloader_Tool in order to unlock the bootloader.
2- I copied the CM-7.2.0.1-bravo.zip file into the sd card manually and also by using the "adb push" command.
But now my phone turns on, but every time that I try to access the Recovery option from the Fastboot menu just gives me an icon of the phone with a red advertise sign and then I press "Volume Up + Power" and got access to some sort of recovery options... But cannot go further than that... What can I do? Please tell me that I did not ****ed my phone?
When u unlock the bootloader u must then flash recovery via fastboot commands. In my sig ul see 4ext recovery as PB99IMG, download and extract the recovery.img and flash via fastboot. U can find a fastboot guide in bortaks troubleshooting guide (in my sig also)
Thanks for your response.

Ok so here is my new actual situation, cause I went to sleep at 3.00am just to keep working with the phone...
After check within some forums and stuff I realized that there was an app called ROM Manager that can flash the Recovery and also the ROM (Cyanogenmod is the one I want to install), I started researching for another way to do it since every single time that I tried to start in FastBoot and use the recovery option in order to flash anything I just got a black screen with an icon that seems to be the same phone with a red alert sign on its corner (icon which i really did not like at all!!!), so I started checking for another way to work with this and found ROM Manager, but when the app was installed and I tried to flash the ClockworkMod Recovery but ROM Manager was giving an error related with permissions, I thought that my HTC Desire was already Rooted since it said "*** Unlocked ***" on the Fastboot menu (My fault!) but I realized that it is not Rooted after download the Root Checker app from the Store... So basically here is the case resumed: Fastboot "Unlocked" (Via easy unlocker tool), ROM Manager App (Installed but no permissions to Flash the ClockworkMod Recovery nor CyanogenMod ROM), Root Checker App (Installed and seems that my phone is not rooted)... How do I need to proceed now on???
Thanks in advance for all your help! I never thought that Android were this complicated, but I like it ****ing so much!!! So I think that it is most likely a beginner issue

Well, to root it, you need to flash a Superuser zip from recovery. To flash it, you need a custom recovery. To get a custom recovery, you do what @jmcclue said 2 posts above.

Hahahahaha yeah sorry about that but I'm working so it is difficult to be on the phone talking about Hard Drives and troubleshoot them, while trying to figure out whats going on with my phone hahahahaha
So Basically and if I'm not mistaken (hopefully not, let me know if I am) I need to do the following:
-Download and Flash the 4eXT Recovery as PB99IMG from the previous response: After download the file can I go to CMD and use "adb reboot bootloader" then "adb fastboot flash recovery PB99IMG.zip" (that must flash the recovery right?)
-Then I need to Flash the Superuser from a Zip file: By accessing the new Recovery Interface installed previously, wipe chache / install from sd card / install from zip (that must root my device right?)
-After that I should be able to turn on my phone as normal and use the ROM Manager in order to Flash the CyanogenMod 7.2 right?
Sorry that I bother all of you in this way with so many question and ****, but I really want not only to flash my drive but also to learn about the process and what I'm doing to my phone... Thanks for everything.

Ok, so after check the other post with the PB99IMG method the phone should ask meto install something after put the zip file into the sd card and start the bootloader??? The thing is, if that doesn't happen what can I do? Because if I try to go to the Recovery option the phone gives me the Black screen with the Icon of the phone and a red alert sign... :S

You don't need to go to recovery for the PB99IMG method. Only bootloader.

Yes thats what you should do. If that doesnt work you would try flashing the recovery via fastboot.
When you go into recovery right now and see the red warning thing, that is normal. It is the stock recovery, which makes sense because you havent installed a custom recovery yet. Once 4ext is installed you will no longer see that screen.

Do this:

Then extract the .img file from the PB99IMG zip, and put it on your C drive, do the path would be C://recovery.img.
Then, open CMD, connect your phone in fastboot mode, and use this command:
fastboot flash recovery C://recovery.img

Sello I'm glad to let you know that finally I got my phone.cpletely flashed with the CM7 and this works just great... the only thing that I were not able to do is to partition my 4Gb SD card to assign 1Gb as phone extension and the rest as external storage...
Can you help me with this last thing, I just used a previous post...
With the 4ext recovery y created a first partition of 1024Mb as the ext of the system but my phone does not sees it, it keeps saying that only have 140Mb total as internal

Hey pals. I have an issue with my DHD...I am running CyanogenMod 10.1 and yesturday someone messed with the developer options and chose to emulate a 1024x760, or something like that, display. The phone froze and I had to remove the battery to shut it down...However when I try to do a factory reset through CWM recovery the phone freezes on the HTC logo and when I try to boot It freezes before reaching the home screen. I realized that this phone can't boot normally now cos the display emulation i talked about earlier is causing an issue, and the situation has been complicated by the fact that I cant use CWM recovery...So I cant acces the phone completely...So I am wondering if there is a way to undo that setting without using CWM recovery...Something like maybe removing the battery or opening it up n remove something for some time etc. Any help will be appreciated.

You are s-off dont use ruu, it may make you s-on.
Press Fastboot then do the flashing from cmd cd to your your-android-sdk-folder-location-here/platform-tools/fastboot.exe like cd c:/android/ then do fastboot flash recovery.img and make sure you have recovery.img in your tools folder. You can find a .img from the thread I posted previously (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2317202&d=1381475742) in this example extract it place .img in the platform-tools location and rename the .img to recovery.img
Flashing a ruu wont make you loose s-off, it makes you loose root. Two completely different things.
Your issue happened when you did the factory reset.
One possible solution is to:
Flash ruu
Flash a recovery
Flash rom
As long as your phone is recognized by your pc (which may not due to having done tue factory reset - can't remember if it does or doesn't), then you should be good to go.

Sounds reasonable, but not quite sure. I can't remember if you can flash a rom that way. I would suggest to do a proper search, read and see what you can find in that regard.

Well in my research (back in 2010) to flash a ruu with a previous version you need a gold card. After you get the ruu as a PDxxxxx.zip format (look for a desire hd one as others will brick your phone) and place it in the root of your sd card. Reboot your phone in recovery and press vol+ to flash, and wait for 10-20mins and your phone should be alive.
Some sd's dont work with gold cards (in my experience, a kingston 16gb didn't work but a samsung 8gb did for some reason)
