Pretty much covers it.

Indeed that's pretty comprehensive and covers it. Will just add that there's nothing to worry about when rooting, so don't worry. Pretty simple and quick. Thanks to the developers I bricked my phone a couple of times while flashing and got it back working fine, no problems.
Golden rule 1: Backup.
Golden rule 2: In the words of Dad's Army, "Don't Panic".

Thanks very much guys just about covered all the bases thank-you

What if my company gives HD MINI and not Aria.
Besides, comments like "You should have bought an Android phone" can be missed in any forum. There's a question if it's possible to run Android on HD mini, not a question about what phone to buy.

Ye, it's really a joke.
Even P4550 has its AND rom.
Mini, with it's twin brother Aria being AND, does not have And roms.

Two Thing that we are currently have trouble with:
1、You need to use a special devices to disable the Chip.
2、We still can't unlock NAND.
ANYWAY WE ARE WORKING TO SOLVE THOSE PROBLEMS.

Jtag interface is what I've been expecting, no sneak peak needed, we know what root will yield, so, lock this thread

We used the smart card & s58 file to disable the chip,not the Jtag interface.
Why would you post this in one thread:

I haven't read every post lately, but with my daily glancing, I have heard no mention of advancements or failures on the Jtag side. I know we had at lease one Dev with a torn down Jtaged interfaced G2

I just wanted to say that I very much appreciate your work towards this. I wish you people all the luck.

Also, OP, Why does this seem to be booting into 1.6? That bootup screen doesn't seem to be 2.2

Although I agree the bootup animation is from older versions of Android, It's clearly 2.x+ as shown at 1:20 by the lwp, phone app instead of dialer, and a few other apps in the drawer.

Are all the builds currently being maintained sense based?

No.

Which just proves you're not observant. Yes, there are a lot of sense builds because they add extra features plus can be disabled easily for basic stock experience but there are cyanogen and stock builds out there if you LOOK. Hell, I was just at one, which is why I remembered to come back here. Don't be upset because I chose to answer you in the same simple way you asked. It's not my fault you don't see what's in front of you. Now browse. Finding new fun builds that fit our specific needs is why we're here, is it not?
ya they pretty much dont care about vanilla froyo and those that do are either old or autobuild , or are restricted to certain outdated kernels ... also cuz of this reason most cm versions will have touch screen lag issues and all the goodies that come with that , so basically if ya want a decent vanilla froyo experience hd2 isnt for u

Thank you for a coherent answer. Thats what I was starting to see about froyo. I have been updating my HyperDroid on my own but seem to have met my technical limit and am considering switching. Everything is great with it, but I'm considering whether or not I want the new camera. Another round of decisions I guess.

The XDA application does not seem allow us to see response/reply titles. Only original post titles. So I never saw your first No answer. I apologize and thanks for your response. I was looking for an quick opinion from fellow users and I certainly was not asking anyone to go do research for me.
I don't know if you have noticed but over the last few months folks have really gotten a bit over the top with the sarcasm in response to questions, almost to the point where it is insulting in some cases. I have seen this more and more. My initial thought when reading your reply WITHOUT the title line was here was more sarcasm. So again, I apologize and thanks for your response.

There was definite sarcasm, so I can apologize for that. Not at the level of some of the other people here get to. People have been getting extremely venomous and I was just trying to do a quick chuckle thing. Anyway, you should expect to see a lot more stock android builds soon because I'm sure there will be a flood of gingerbread options over the next few days.

Just got Desire HD - What can i do first?

Hey guys, new to Android, just got my Desire HD today and i'm blown away......
Just wondering what cool apps etc things i can do to get going?
I'm with Orange UK and it's got their branding on it so if i can get rid of that for a start that would be a bonus....
Any other tips etc?
Thanks!

id start by just appreciating the system for what it can and cant do, whilst reading stickies on here and seeing if you need or want to do anything to improve it
Thanks for the reply.
Yea i've done a bit of research but i've got alot more to do, i do really find Android to be great so far, better than any other O/S on a mobile phone i've used before, Symbian iOS etc...
I got my Desire HD on Orange last week and besides messing with the phone itself, the only thing I've done is remove the Orange-branded OS and install the stock HTC one. At some point I'll look into the advantages of rooting, custom ROMs and other things of that nature.

yeah i would like to do this, Orange has got some bloatware on their one, where did you get the Stock HTC OS? and is there a tutorial for installing it?
Sorry if i'm overlooking the forums.
Have a look in the development sections, there are some great tutorials out already for rooting and changing ROMs on your new Desire HDs
Hi,
i am also new to android.. Before i bought my htc desire hd i used an iphone 3g. As i got my htc the phone flashed me totally. I would never buy an apple product
The best way for you is to read in this nice forum.

I followed the above guide because I thought that under the current version of the Orange firmware, downgrading would be necessary. I'm not sure if just creating a goldcard and installing a 1.32 ROM would work.
If you're new to this type of thing like I am, just do some reading around this forum and the development forum and you should have some idea of what you want to do.
Like mentioned above, there are some very useful guides in the development section.

Let us petition HTC to bring KItkat barebones to the Legend

Its all in the Title
If im correct they stop suport in 2.1, why do you think they will give us 4.4?
Im sorry to have to say this but there is no way HTC would even care, nor would we get enough people to actually make this possible. But we do have some devs currently working on 4.4 for the legend.

Yeah, im not saying that it is impossible, in this case we are lucky we got a developer who is working on a KitKat port, but it is not officially from HTC and this is what the thread is about i guess.

I was just giving the link to the thread confirming your post .
But it is true that HTC won't do anything more for the Legend (which is normal regarding its age).
