[Q] Help with Rooting and other stuff... - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK guys, so I bought my HTC Inspire 4g and I am willing to mod it (I post in this forum because I was told that in fact it's the same device). So I am interested in installing this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37060683) on top of a custom kernel, please suggest one (or is it not needed?). So I actually need to root, s-off, bootloader unlock, flash a kernel, flash the rom and be happy . Now, can you please provide me links with instructions for all these? (Rooting, s-off,BL unlock,kernel flashing,rom flashing) and anything else that my phone might need? Thank you you are helping a huge noob!

Hi, I'm not really an expert but I've successfully flashed several roms onto my diamond.
Firstly you should read a little over here and see what you must do first. Your phone is branded so you'll need to flash something called Hardspl (It probably unlocks the branded phone) and than you can go to the forum and look for a rom that you like and flash it following the instructions in the post of the above link. Radio rom is important for signal quality, gps signal and definitely battery time. Flashing is safe and easy if you follow the instructions and after you do it Bye

[Q] HTC Desire questions

hello guys, im a happy new member of the desire community .
I have came from a Sony Ericsson Xperia x8, which i a little different in terms of modding your roms and radios... I have looked around the threads for a while now and not really found anything what answers my question, so sorry if there maybe a duplicate don't burn me if there is i have tried.
I know how to root my phone and the recovery installation as i had an old HTC wildfire what i broke but am not familiar with unlocking and flashing bootloaders hence why i need your help.
But i would like some help or answers regarding my HTC so here we go...
Well first of all the HTC is locked onto the orange network, i am currently on three so how could i get my phone unlocked... possibly free?
Also when i get my HTC unlocked if i flash things like new radios, roms, bootloaders ETC... will my phone remain unlocked or become locked again?
Also what is the first rom i should try out? I would want a fast one whats stable but maybe perhaps android 4.0 or above, can you guys give me some suggestions please thanks.
Ps: Sorry for the wall of text i want to make sure i get things right and don't brick my phone in the process of unlocking. :fingers-crossed:

[Q] How do i root Telus DHD?

Hey everyone!
So I have searched the forums and I have found nothing on rooting the Telus DHD with 2.3.5? I don't know if the Advanced Ace will work because I'm in Canada? I also have read that it wont work with my current DHD or i need to downgrade? iunno, I'm confused. I'm relatively new to the whole "rooting" thing and I have been satisfied with the DHD until now. I was using Go launcher EX so my phone was alright, now im just bored and looking for an upgrade.
If there is already a forum can someone please point me in the correct way. I have tried to download some of the files here including the stock rom file....

The Hack Kit is the only working tool to gain S-OFF and as you read your phone will be downgraded first to achive that (done by the Hack Kit). Use the guide in my signature to find the infromation you need and if you have doubts, visit the thread in my signature. :good:

Not that I don't want to help, but these questions have been asked so many times that I'm getting tired of answering them. Since you're new, I shall help you for now:

Also, being new here is not a valid reason for asking questions as trivial as this, so please learn to do it yourself.

can you help me with installing custom ROM?

I supose you have unlocked your bootloader with the link @popthosegaskets provided. Now just head over to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320872
and pick a ROM that suites your needs. Every ROM has its pros and cons i guess so Id advice to scroll the posts of the different ROMs and check what features they have, what bugs are still present and decide uppon that.
Most developers suggest you a certain Kernel to be used with their ROM, and either provide you with a download link to the kernel or include a boot.img with their Kernel.zip. Additionally to that some developers request you to download some fixes/modules, those are aswell listed in the Kernel/ROM forum post. Once you have the Kernel, ROM and modules/fixes, follow the Kernel flash instructions on this forum post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131284
once the Kernel flash is done, install the ROM and modules + fixes, always check the ROM forum post because some developers want you to flash modules and fixes in a certain order. You ofcourse might want to put all this files on your SD-Card and install them via CWM.

How to update android ?

Hello guys, im newbie in roms and all the phones stuff so please dont criticise I have a HTC Desire Z with Android 2.2. My question here is how to update it to newer? 4.4.4 would be awesome, i want newest i can. I found some posts on couple of forums about this but every was like "format, flash, update, boooom done". Can anyone tell me how to do it from begining? I mean how to format it the way it should be, how to flash, what do i need etc.
Also i found this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374927
Is it good? I know i shouldnt ask what rom should i pick, im just asking is it good to use on this phone.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
The second post in this thread will help you understand the initial process
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348266
You need to use gfree to exploit and root if you want radio s-off which is the only way you should root this phone. And be sure to read through all those links to understand fully first, I know it may be overwhelming but it is important.
As for best ROM, we don't make suggestions in xda but the third and forth post will link you to every to available. Gingerbread runs the best overall but there are many ICS and jb ROMs that work almost as well (some will say better) and KitKat has come a long way where many will find that it suffice for daily use.
You'll have to try a few, make backups, try a few more to see what works best for you
If you get stuck somewhere just ask in that thread and many are there to jump in and help
Best of luck!
