ROM's ????

hi, Im still kinda new to all this but would like to flash a new rom ,have read some of the threads and im still a little confused ..is there no way to make the like an .exe so it just runs like the rom ugrades on HTC website ...like i said new to all this and i figured if it could be done it would of but has to ask ..( wife would kill me if i bricked this phone)

They do run as an exe. Just unzip the file, then open the folder and double click customRUU.exe, and that will run just like an update from HTC!!
Make sure you have HSPL'd your phone first, and have a read of the stickies in the rom development forum first.

You shouldnt have to apologize. You needed help asap. Some of these senior members need to stop acting or in fact being pricks when someone posts in the wrong area. Its not that big a deal. Appreciate the fact that they came to XDA for help in the first place. SMDH

I checked the link witch is posted above.
But i`m not getting out, stuck with a few things.
first: i`ve got installed the 2.08HSPL.
second: can`t change the radio to 2.15.50.14, stuck at 96%.
third: can`t get into the bootscreen of MAGLDR after the included RUU, it goes straightly to the white screen with htc logo and getting stuck.
This was driving me nuts!
How to fix this all?
Thnx!

Hi,
I 'm not sure where you are at.
Did you manage to install radio?
If not,try again.
Radio must be there before you can continue.

I was trying to install but is gives an error at 96%!
How do I fix that?

Hi,
Sorry to be the one to tell you but you have bricked your HD2. When you are flashing a radio you cannot interrupt it until it is done flashing the radio or it will brick your device. The radio is very important, it is what has the data the IPL of the bootloader needs to boot the hardware of the device. No radio equals no working device, or what is known as a bricked device.

Crap!
But I still can get in the bootscreen!
Can you post a link from a radio updater, maybe I can try it again?!
Or can I get winmo back?

Hi,
Try:
Go to HTC site>support>download>ROM upgrade and choose appropriate ROM upgrade for your phone
Extract with winrar or 7z the RUU_Leo_HTC_****************************_Ship.exe
find the larger *.nbh file and rename it to leoimg.nbh and place this file on an sd card that is 4gb or less
and reboot to bootloader (the one with 4 colors,hold volume down button)
follow the instructions from there
That way you will have your original software with SPL restored and ready to send it for repair
No need for PC drivers etc.

That is the most ridiculous comment I have ever seen on XDA.
Ofcousre its a big deal moron. If we simply excused every person and let anybody post anywhere this site would be a complete waste of time.
Why should we "appreciate" it?
People with common sense use the search function or google a couple of keywords+XDA or even in the minimum read a couple of sticky threads before asking what is obviously a very common request.

I don't think he bricked it. Try flashing HSPL and radio again. I've seriously had my phone fall down and get disconnected while flashing radio before. Worried the hell out of me, but I just tried again and it was fine

I`ve got winmo back !
Solution:
Download the normal rom and then i changed RUU_Signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh,
then i run the bootsloader again and installed the normal rom by the RomUtilitieUpdate.exe and now it works fine again.
But still no android .
I`ll check later how to install that correctly!
Thank you all guys!

Getting Original HTC Software again!

Hey!
Some months back I wiped my HTC Desire HD clean of the HTC software that came with it and installed a custom ROM - I believe it's called Icecold Sandwich. But poor judgment and me not thinking things through has led to a rather awkward situation for me.
The phone was one that I had borrowed from my sister... Which she had borrowed from her work. And now I need to get the original software back onto the phone!
But is there any chance that this can be done?
I tried downloading a Kernel from htcdev but once I try to install the Kernel the installation is instantly aborted by the phone. So I'm all out of ideas.
But is there any way it can be done? Or am I just royally screwed?
Sincerely
Hailen.

First before thread is closed Use search – you'll find a lot of threads about restoring phone to stock.

Get the original RUU (ROM Utililty Updater). How? As callmemycool said above, search the DHD forums and you will find the complete instructions on how to do it.

You can download run a ruu for your device.

Always try searching the forum before asking a question. You will be surprised how many people ask the same questions.
For the time being, look in the Android Development forum, there are ICS custom ROMs for you to try.

Hi everyone,
I'm having DHD with Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0, i've bought it a year and a half ago, and I never touched it, so it is unrooted and has it's original (stock) room.
Now I'd like to flash a custom rom to it, I've done a lot of research and found out I need to downgrade my device to be able to root it. Now, I've spent hours looking for a proper guide of how to downgrade the device and root it, but found nothing really.
Can you help me? I've almost given it up :S
Thank you very much in advance whoever helps me!

I kept getting that on my first ever root attempt. Turns out it was my lead. Make sure it's the original lead. (mine was actually the original but it was faulty, did charge still though) hope this helps.

You need to use AAHK (Advanced Ace Hack Kit). You can no longer find it on XDA.
But if you search google for AAHK you will find their support page, and you can download it from there.
Also mae ksure to read the manual (called the effin' manual). Don't skip a word!!
Also, since you are on 2.3.5 you need to downgrade. Instructions are on the effin manual.

Teichopsia, I can't thank you enough man!! You helped me A LOT with that link
I've done this for the first time ever, and all went the way it should! Running ICS wooooo!
THANKS A MILLION TIMES!

The guide was written by glevitan, thus, he deserves the thanks. All I did was point you in the right direction (and proof-reading that guide about 5 times before it was uploaded ).
From that same link check out post #179, currently it should be the last page.
I'm glad it's all sorted out. Happy flashing.
