Try downloading a fresh build. Rather than extract in pc and then copying it over, try extracting directly in the root of the sd card with the path intact (meaning for most recent builds it should extract into /sdcard/Android. There used to be some problems with dragging folders in the very early builds.

Alrighty thanks i will try that
Start from scratch. Flash a new radio and a rom. Then format your SD card and then extract a build to the card. Be sure to follow each build's instrucions. Some you put the android folder in root, some all files are in root by themselves.
Also SEARCH and read as much as you can.
Thanks alot ... about the custom rom :
1) what custom rom looks the sames or very similar as stock but has the speed and responsiveness of a custom rom. I really like the look of stock i dont like nothing flashy or anything...
2)Lets say my phone gets damaged, while exchanging the phone will t-mo notice that its been flashed if i hard reset the phone?
3)Is it permanet or is there a way to go all the way back to factory shipped status...

In each rom thread they will describe the goal of the rom. They will explicitly state if the goal is to look stock. I use energy roms and he offers several versions including a stock looking rom.
To load a custom rom you will need to flash HSPL. This can be removed to be back to stock for warranty service but not via a hard reset. Removing HSPL involves installing the original SPL via an SD card.
There is always the option to go back to factory conditions.

i tried it and it still says the same thing for me...i am so stuck on this..
I've recently bought a HTC desire HD and I'm really dissapointed with the vodaphone branding basically forced upon it. I was looking to install a stock rom of sorts to the device and was wondering if someone could give me a quick link to the guides and order that i'd have to do stuff in.
As I understand it I need to root (not sure if I have to permenantly do so) my phone, and then flash with a stock rom. I'm having a hard time finding a stock rom and also information on whether installing this stock rom would allow me to automatically update, would there be any differences to buying a stock HTC desire HD from a shop.
The rom currently installed is the one for the AU vodaphone Desire HD
Just after the equivalent unbranded one, and any additional steps required to remove the vodaphone filth.
I didn't think Vodafone were branding them quite yet. I got mine from Vodafone UK a few weeks ago and I've got zero branding at all on it.
agreed I have no branding either and I have had 3 DHD's. I was also assured by a VF staff member that all DHD come directly from HTC sealed and VF do not open the box ever before sending out to its customers.
Managed to sort this out, yeah the aussie ones seem to come loaded with rubbish that's unremovable >.<
I ended up loading one of the UK WWE roms and it's working fine now
For anyone curious and new to the process like I was.. I used the perma root method using VISIONary and then I simply ran the setup file of the rom on my PC and it did all the work. Took a little working out but was suprisingly simple.
IF your device isnt rooted then you won't be able to install the rom, it will come up with a user error (somthing along the lines of wrong user id)
What "rubbish" ? Amazon MP3 ? QuickOffice ? SoundHound ? Facebook ? Twitter ? Peep ? That is "HTC rubbish", not "Vodafone rubbish" .

Do you really hav to root the phone do debrand it? Previous devices, such as my Desire, only required a Goldcard present to allow flashing any of the HTC Roms.

A "Games" app - really a link that leads to a crappy Vodfone Australia website
A "Music" app - as above
A "News" app - as above
A "Sport" app - as above
A "Vodafone" app - as above
Would be nice to remove them and reclaim those names in the app drawer.
I might look for the UK rom myself.

Yeah I did try using a Goldcard but it didn't work for me, may have been user error not quite sure.
As for the "rubbish" apps, just the weblinks that link to the main vodaphone site and a boot logo that's rather slow (atleast it felt like it was slowing startup down).
The HTC stuff is fine, I can live with that.. but broken voda links were driving me nuts!
Over and above the links and apps, Vodafone has also put in a splash screen on boot (which I think actually slows down the overall boot process by a few seconds). I'm very keen on flashing a new ROM but I'm worried by warranty issues since there doesn't appear to be any Australian Vodafone ROMs available as of yet...
Any tips on what else can be done? Are we able to create a backup of the current ROM somehow?
EDIT: I just read through another thread and noticed the boot animation can be altered. I used root explorer to navigate to the directory
'system\customize\resources' and found the Vodafone boot. Unfortunately Root explorer isn't letting me edit that file as it is 'read-only'. I have perm-rooted my phone and granted SuperUser access...

So you flashed using a stock WWE? Which version? Also, were you able to get the OTA update OK?
I flashed mine using a Goldcard recently, and all worked fine, but the OTA has appeared to break my wifi.
Also, i can also back this guy up, Vodafone AU brand the HTC Desire HD's.

I just did this with my Three branded ROM using Root Explorer, in /system/customize/resource/ there was a HUTCH_bootanimation.zip and a bootanimation.zip
I just clicked the Mount R/W button up in the top right hand corner and renamed the bootanimation.zip to HUTCH_bootanimation.zip
Should be similar on Vodafone
You can also unzip play with the logo and rezip then move it to the sdcard and with Root Explorer put it back in /system/customize/resource/
I would like to know which file points to HUTCH_bootanimation.zip (or whatever) as the boot animation zip and be able to just change that instead
thanks for this, im getting a vodafone branded one tommorow and they are putting firmware on it with all the crap vodafone 360 etc. which no one wants or cares about,

I had one of these, rooted it and installed LeeDROID 1.2
Now it is mine and no Vodafone influence
Just be wary or removing ANY old app when you do root, some may have dependencies, some cooks say it is better to freeze an app rather than delete just in case.

Hi folks, i'm looking for 2 days a way to solve my DHD problem:
It can't boot anymore. It pop up the "htc quietly brilliant" screen, play the boot sound and, start this step again, and again, and again...
So I'm googling a LOT about how to solve this, if exist a way to restore the original rom. Because i'm thinking that was the problem, my original rom is gone.
That happens when i try to install 3 softwares from appbrain, my device got freeze and i hit the power button to reset. So, after that, my device is gone.
So i came here, to ask you folks: There is a way to recover the original rom ? Without send to warranty (because it spend something like 1 month here).
I'm not a mobile hacker or something, i'm just trying to be happy with my device.
Thanks a lot and sorry for my poor english!!
Perhaps try booting to the bootloader, by holding Power + Volume down button. From there, you should be able to do a factory reset, which may or may not fix your problem. Worth a shot at least, imo
And if it does not work when you do a factory reset, you can use a rom.zip from HTC RUU to restore your phone.
Now the important thing is to know which HTC rom you are running. If it is unbranded, 1.72.405.3 is a sure shot. Download the RUU.exe from Stock roms thread in android development subforum, and run it. When the window pops up, open run prompt, and type: "%TEMP%". Then search for rom.zip, copy it to your desktop, rename it to PD98IMG.zip and put it to your SD card (I hope that you have a card reader). Then just reboot to bootloader as tmh described, and watch the magic happen
Then if your phone is branded, you can still use the same technique to make PD98IMG.zip, but you have to get the RUU that matches your branding. There are lots of RUUs in android development subforum, just search.
Hi guys,
thanks a lot for quik reply!
I perform the procedure indicated by tmh, but without lucky ;\
I think it is unbranded. I buy it at Portugal and i'm using at Brazil right now.
I'll perform your tip jkoljo.
I'll post a repply to let people know if it works or not.
Thanks a lot!!
Hope the advice the last guy gave helps , a factory re set may work fine and fix the issue. Iv had 3 dhd since the day of release , the second one I had wouldn't switch on, had it replaced by Vodafone . Not sure weather or not they will give you a new one . Hope u get it fixed

the different is just the radio version. just try flash one of them and see if that work.
WWE means World Wide English, which is an international release
Any one of those RUUs you linked is ok, as hedayat7 already said.
WWE is World wide English...so both are english Roms...try the RUU flash, it should work like a dream....

Sorry ask for your help again, but at Official thread (thread number 841207) for DHD files, both 1.72.405.3 links are broken.
So i search for another thread, and found another one, but when i run the .exe, it ask for a USB connection to device, so it appears wrong.
Could you gimme a hand to find the correct file?
PS: I can help with a web hosting to all correct files.
You probably found the correct RUU, now proceed to %TEMP% and copy rom.zip to desktop.
You can find RUUs here: http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/
I am not completely sure if those zip files are actual rom.zips, you can check that. Open up the zip, and if it has a long list of hboot, system, android-info.txt etc, then it is rom.zip and you can just go ahead and rename it to PD98IMG.zip.

But i did that.
The "1.72.405.3" files at this URL are broken (Or need password to access it, because "You don't have permission to access" message pop up).
When i run the RRU i got two screens, first i must accept a advice, the second one ask if I have a USB connection to my device. Even when i proceed to next step, i got no .zip file on my %TEMP%.
Im lost because of that lol
UPDATE: OK I FOUND IT! haha ty
Thanks a lot my friends,
but it doesn't work.
I perform the process for 2 different roms, and it doesn't work.
Still can't boot.

Ok, then there is something wrong in the device itself. You have to send it to a service center.

Hi again,
i keep a little hope that i can restore my phone, so i found a possible solution:
OTA update.
At "showthread.php?t=667728&page=2", i found a guy with the same problem i think, here is the quote:
Kinma said:
I had the same problem last week.
I suspected it had to do with the EXT3 partition.
Solved it by first flashing the OTA 2.2 ROM (for rooted users) as this does not use the EXT3. Then used Rom manager to recreate the EXT3.
Now all ROMs that use the EXT3 run fine!

(thanks Kinma for the feedback)
So, i start a search for OTA update file here, and found at "showthread.php?t=885996".
But when i choose "Apply sdcard:update.zip", i got INVALID OPERATION.
Someone have a tip for me about this?
Thanks (its very sad, but i must keep hope).

You are welcome.
What happened was that after a reboot of the phone the phone started rebooting in the boot sequence, i.e. a boot loop.
I tried a lot of things and nothing worked.
Finally I suspected that the problem might be with the SD card. I had a backup, so I had no problem doing a factory reset.
Then I booted the phone without the SD card.
The phone booted fine.
That way I was certain that the problem was with the SD card.
I had 2 partitions on the SD card, an EXT3 part and the rest was a normal Fat part.
I could still read the card, so I made a backup of all the data on the card.
Then I reformatted the card using windows.
The phone booted fine with an empty, reformatted, SD card.
Since I use Apps 2 SD, I had to recreate the EXT3 partition.
If your rom does not use this, you do not have to do this.
After recreating the EXT partition, put back all files that I want on my SD card.
My advice would be to do a factory reset and after that boot the phone without the SD card.
If the phone boots, you know the problem is with the card.
Hope that helps; good luck!

boot without the SD card, doesn't work =(
I'm really without luck with this.
I do:
- Factory reset
- Clear cache and userdata
- Boot without SD or/and SIM cards
- Reflash RUU WWE 1.72.405.3 Radio 26.04.02.17_M2
- Reflash RRU WWE 1.72.405.3 Radio 26.04.02.17_M2 SF
- erase all SD
One show was use OTA update.zip, but at this step i got "invalid operation"
SO, nothing works!
Well, it appears a lost battle =\
thanks folks for all help.
Yeah, there must be something wrong in your device itself, for example a motherboard fault. Send it back to HTC.

Hi,
I found the information extremely useful. Big Thanks

Hey guys, I have searched high and low and can't find anything related to my problem. I have decided to switch my HD2 over from mw to android, and I have hit a wall.
I know exactly the procces of how it should be done, but my problem is this:
My volume rocker key is broken, and unfortunately I have no way of navigating through magldr to do the required steps, thus do NAND flashing for me.
My question is this, does anyone know of any other way to get it done, maybe using adb?? And if it's possible, where can I find the command lines to do it?? Is there any alternate method of flashing to NAND on the HD2?
Do this downloadcLK, also download Google Android drives. Finally download the ROM you want, but make sure you downloadcthe cLK version of the ROM.
Now create 3 folders on your desktop as that will be the easiest place to find them. I know these are gineric names but it is to help make it easier for you. Name one folder cLK, one folder Android drivers, and on folder Android ROM.
Next extract the contents from the cLK. zip file to the cLK folder, extract the contents of the Google Android drivers .zip file to the Android drivers folder, and finally extract the contents of the ROM .zip file to the Android ROM folder.
Now boot your HD2 into bootloader and connect your HD2 via USB cable to your computer. Wait for the Serial in the white bar of bootloader to change to USB and then open the cLK folder and right click on the custom RUU and select run as administrator. When cLK is done flashing your HD2 will reboot but do not unplug the USB cable yet.
If you are running Windows 7 the Android USB drivers should auto install. But if not go to device manager in the control panel and find your HD2, it should be listed as "Android phone". If it is not dropped down from the main device list then click on it to make it drop down. Then right click on the dropped down icon and select update drivers, then select from computer in the pop up window, then find the Android drivers folder and click done. This should install the USB drivers for your HD2 and you should see "processing fastboot commands on your HD2 screen.
Now open your Android ROM folder and find the. img file and right down the name of it. Then go to start menu on your computer and in run or search type in CMD. If you have to type it into search go up to the top of the start menu window and click on the CMD icon that will be there, if you typed it into run just hit enter.
Now in the comand promt box that CMD brought up type in this command.
cd C:\Android ROM then hit enter, next type
fastboot flash (the name of the .img file you wrote down).img leave the (&) out but type the name of the img file in including the .img. This should flash the ROM. Next type
fastboot reboot and your HD2 should reboot and boot into your Android ROM.
But it will be impossible to get into bootloader with a broken volume rocker though right?

Yeah of the volume down part of the volume rocker is not working you can not getconto bootloader. But if they still have Windows Mobile on their phone they can install either Touch Tools or Anistasia's End Key to their HD2 and get to bootloader that way. Both of these apps allow you to access the bootloader via the touch screen, they just run the bootloader.exe is all.
Thank you for all your help. I am stuck with one problem...
Any roms that I have download that are cLK roms, have only 3 files in them.... a boot.img file, META-INF folder, and system folder....
In the last bit of information you gave me, you tell me to flash the .img file that I find in my android rom folder... in my case, is that the boot.img file?? what happens to the other 2 folders that are in the rom zip (META-INF and system)
Thanks once again for all your help!

Hmmmm that is a good question. To be honest I amcreally not sure as I am going on information I haveclearned from my research. I know the boot.img is what you want to type in the command I told you about. I also think thatcwhen you usecthat command it flashes that img and the other files to cause you have to type in the directory of the folder they are I'm first (the cd C:\Adroid ROM). Also I know this the boot.img is the kernel and the system folder is the Android system. I don't know what the META-INF file is to be honest. But I have asked and been told that following what I instructed above will flash a ROM.

I know the boot.img is what you want to type in the command I told you about. I also think thatcwhen you usecthat command it flashes that img and the other files to cause you have to type in the directory of the folder they are I'm first (the cd C:\Adroid ROM). Also I know this the boot.img is the kernel and the system folder is the Android system. I don't know what the META-INF file is to be honest. But I have asked and been told that following what I instructed above will flash a ROM.

Yeah I agree it is wierd, but you are only flashing a splash screen which does not touch the ROM partition of the NAND memory. So I don't feally see it causing you not to be able to flash anything else.
So are you just scared it will do that or that it did do that?

Lol, nope didnt try it... I have been running it off my SD card, but I hate the battery drain on it... at times it can go up to 300+mA
Worried that if I do it, and I cant load into android, then there is no way for me to get back into bootloader to re-flash winmo, or any other android rom...
Been searching my head off, and nothing out there!!!!

Yeah you are right about that. If things go bad you will not be abale to get to bootloader. Have you tried American Android on SD? I have read a lot of good stucc about it. I used Warren Bread on SD befor I went NAND, it was a build that was put out just befor American Android by one of the developers of Americsn Android. Anyway was not that bad on battery drain. Oh yeah I think I would just run Android from SD if I was you until hou are abale to vet your volume button fixed just to be safe lol.

It sbould work without any problems, I think that the "American" is just the name of it. Idonot think it means it isdevice spacific I will go check it tbough real quick.
Edit: I just checked the thread on American Android and it zays nothinv about being a TMOUS only build. and I seen several post from people not from America.

I run Hyperdroid as my daily driver, thi. king about giving Ultimate Droid a try today?
ive been thinking lately what with the larger amounts of threads with people asking for simlock (network lock) removal why cant we yet? we have s-off and root.
ive been looking into how the sensation does it and one method is that on a file on the phone the unlock code is just sitting there waiting to be found! and i dont really know how the other one works, it involves flashing a pg58diag.zip and it seems to remove the sim lock like a xtc clip would.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107&highlight=xtc+clip
feel free to correct me if im wrong on this but this makes it look easy. even if we cant find the code surly one of us can make a flashable zip to delete the simlock rules like the xtc clip does!
now ive already looked for the *holy file* with the simlock removal code and its not in the wildfire build (from what i can tell, i dont know if you would need to be on stock firmware or not) but with enough patience maby we could find it. i tried to gett root explorer to scan all the files on my internal memory for my imei code but the app just crashed so i may have to look manually, even then it might be kept in with the hboot, or the radio. who knows my point is that surly one of us can crack it? i will try my best and any help would be appreciated
thoughts anyone?
Good idea that, I've started looking too with root explorer to see if I can find my imei with a code above, according to that guide its in mmcblkop6 which doesn't exist on my phone apparently and theres a lot of files to search through, I've searched for that string with terminal but it couldn't find anything. I also searched for mmcblkop1 through to 9 and nothing showed up then either.
Also my phone was unbranded and unlocked when it was bought so I don't know if this would affect my abilities to help you search for the right file or not as it may or may not even be there.

If it helps, the unlock code for my Wildfire was 8 digits long.
Thanks for joining the search I'm thinking that the file name probably wont be the same, but the type of file may be in there somewhere. We need to think of a way to dump the whole internal memory as readable files. I tried breifly to open a nandroid but I can't seem to make the image files readable as just files :-( might try and see if I can contact the guys invloved in doing the sensation to see what kind of file we are looking for and how that zip file works. Also I s-offed by xtc clip so who knows if that file is still there for me

thanks for the offer man
so far ive been trying to look inside a nandroid backup to see if i can find it hiding in there somewhere as a nandroid is the whole system i think?? also ive pm`ed dav22 to ask how he stumbled on the file, as maby knowing what kind of file it is might help wish me luck
update
just realised that sdmaid (app) has a function that allows you to search for words and numbers in files so ive told it to search the whole phone. might take a while
update. sdmaid took nearly half an hour but it came up with two files but they were both bug reports on the sdcard. i dont know if the searcher looks through the whole phone or just the whole sdcard.....

This will extract from nandroids, extract it to a folder on your pc then drag the system.img etc into the application file.
I just had a quick scan through a system.img but I couldn't see /dev/block anywhere so I'm guessing that partition might be locked away from nandroids backups.

ive tried that but it wont open all file types. it wont open the boot for example. ive found something called droid explorer that allows me to search through all the files on the phone through my desktop, so im trying with that for the meantime.
also ive had another though, if some was good enough with the terminal would they not be able to tell the phone to look in its files and folders for the imei number? ive tried but im not skilled enough.
just a thought, what if the information was kept in with the radio information? because why else would htc dev keep the radios locked?

Wouldn't flashing a different radio have locked our phones out of our own sim/network then? I think its gotta be somewhere that is not touched by rooting or any other flashing for that matter!! I don't know lol I'm confusing myself.
Dev/block is found in sys/dev/block ...... haven't a clue what I'm looking for lol.
"sent from me2u"
nice find. ive been looking at these file but they go on forever i tried to remove the file from my phone but root explorer only moves the folder :/
and everything gets altered at somestage :/ is there a bios for the phone aside from the bootloader? and lets think logicaly, what would perform the check to make sure its the right sim?
Found a file that might be interesting!!! System/xbin/blockdev. ?? I don't know I'm way out of my depth here now so think I'll leave it to people who know more. Would be better to know what to look for?

i dunno man, ill be honest half of this is guesswork on my part. what would be good is if we could get a program that would scan every file on the phone in search of the code. but i dunno like.
Wow...... how deep does sys/dev/block go? Or am I just going round in circles? lol

Ok now I'm confused?
Is it supercid/cid we need to change to 11111111?
Mine is currently vodap001 which would mean I'm locked ti Vodafone presumably even though I have a o2 sim in.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
Does revolutionary not give supercid? See I used xtc clip.... we might have to supercid then I was looking at my bootloader earlier and the simlock command looks for a mccmnc file and the Cid file. I know that it won't work on mine as the xtc clip deletes/ alters these files so we may need to supercid the phones as the sensations get supercid'd
