What you need to do is read the wiki (see signature), and rom related threads, as to answer your question would take to long and as the previous person mentioned, we have been here before.
Do a search in the rom development forum and read the first few posts on each rom which will tell you basically what that rom includes. Do the same for whaever roms you are interested in and then try them out if you want.
All I can say is read read read and follow guidelines regarding flashing in the wiki and cRaCKwHoRe's guide. Both can be found in my signature

thanks

It may appear daunting at first, but everyone here was in your shoes at first. After reading the wiki and implementing advice/tips/tweaks etc listed within you should be on your way to understanding. As a close mate (cRaCKwHoRe) said, if you read the wiki you'll know what I know, and this is the truth
There is also guidelines and tutorials on how to flash to knew roms and improve radio (reception) etc.
All information on each rom is listed on first few posts of each thread on that particular rom.
If you have any problems on any topic people here will gladly assist you (well most). If no one helps you, which I doubt, PM me.

Try a search of the forums or the forum FTP site. There is currently a thread started about the same time as yours and its got the information you need in it.
If you see the user tried stuff first, then looked for more information then asked questions. He/she did not just turn up and use there first post as a "tell me how to do what I want to do" post, then a second post to complain that no one had taken time out of their day to send you in the information that you can easily find here.
Thanks
I did search the forum but obviously not well enough. I have resolved the issue.

Do you need to unlock phone in order to flash ROM?

I've been doing some reading on flashing to a new ROM and am thinking of doing this (probably Dutty's ROM), however is it necessary to unlock the phone to do this?
From what I can gather the HSPL removes any branding, but would be grateful if someone could confirm this.
I'm a bit anxious about flashing the ROM from experience with a PC. I realise that if you get things wrong it can brick the device...
Thanks in advance for any input...
bump... Anyone?
I'm interested as well.
Start here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone
This will answer most questions, especially about ROMs
The wiki doesn't answer the question.

Yes I have been through the wiki as well and agree that it doesn't really answer the question. As several (hundred) people now appear to have done this someone must know the answer...
It is NOT necessary to unlock first

1. Go to the ROM section, linked here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534
2. Ask the same question again.
You'll get more luck in there, and this forum shouldn't be cluttered with stuff that should be in others.
Good luck

Mate - he wants to downgrade! He's already flashed one ROM.
Anyone, please don't encourage him. This forum has enough on it's plate without becoming ROM Dev MkII lol
johncmolyneux, I thought you're more helpful than this.
I downloaded the ROM update from HTC .. I dont like it .. it ruined my phone, I want my original ROM back, is that illegal ?

I AM being helpful. Follow the instructions and you'll get what you need. This is simply the wrong place to post. If we just answer every single post, regardless of what section it's in then the forum would be a massive mess and you'd never be able to follow anything.
How am I not helping you??? After all the help I have given you I'm suprised by that comment.

Thats why I said I always THOUGHT you were more helpful, because you helped me alot before. I was referring to the post where you said "Mate - he wants to downgrade! He's already flashed one ROM.
Anyone, please don't encourage him. This forum has enough on it's plate without becoming ROM Dev MkII lol"
Anyway,
The ROM section is dead, I already tried posting there some questions before, they look for ROM downloads and updates, not for questions.
I posted here because I am desperate, I am struggling from my new ROM update.
If anyone knows what I can use to simply revert back to my previous ROM, ill be very grateful ..
Thank you.
I said not to encourage you as this thread does not belong in this forum. Simple as that.
There's a thread in the ROM forum with official download links. You need that. Just download the one you want and flash it.
But I guess I'm not being helpful now. Thanks a lot.
I guess I understood it in the wrong way then, I owe you an apology Im sorry
Oh no its not that, im just really desperate and my day today wasnt at its best, in a bad mood from other life events haha.
"There's a thread in the ROM forum with official download links. You need that. Just download the one you want and flash it."
Thats all I really needed, thank you very much Disregard what I said earlier, its just me in a bad mood today.
I still luv ya John!

Read up about it, like I did, and many others before. All the answers to all of your questions have been asked and answered time and time again.
Two of your three posts have been asking for people to hold your hand and give you a step by step guide on ROM flashing, try using the search engine. Or better yet, go to the ROM forum and look at the stickys.
The link that Leechoonhwee posted will tell you exactly how to flash a ROM, which ROM you want to flash is up to you, flash as many as you like it takes less than 10 minutes from start to finish to flash a ROM on a HD2.
My advice is to look thoroughly and find a ROM you like the look of, EnergyROM & Artemis are some of the most popular ROMs, start by looking there.
Thank you.
I knnow that I ma asking maybe stupid questions. But my English is not so good.That's why I was asking someone to help. Thank you very much for the links and advices, I will try get it

[Q] HTC HD2 - Android Porting

Getting ready for brickbats, I send in this query.
I have an HD2. I want to try Android OS on it. However, the information in the forums is quite overwhelming for someone like me, who only knows the front end of the phone. I have searched the forums for methods and which version to use, but end up getting lost.
All I know till now is that I need to download the Android file and save it on the phone and then run it. But which version(there are so many!)? What are things that work, and do not work? What all do I need to do for a functional phone after I port it?
My apologies if the answer to this has already been posted somewhere; please point me to it and I shall be grateful.
Please help!
R
Sorry mate, but all the answers to your questions are in the threads in the development section.
Just pick one and read the first post (realistically, read the first few pages). That gives you all the info you need on running Android.
Just go from ROM to ROM and read what's already been written about them, in order to decide which to use.
Thank you John! I will do that!
Seasons Greetings!
