Hello all. Let me first state what I've done first.
I had the new hboot so what I did was to use alpharevx and s-off first and installed CM 7.03. But I had some issues and some things that I did not like.
I don't want to list my issues. Anyhow, so what I wanted was to install the stock Rom/sense based custom ROMs. That I did. But whichever ROM I installed, including Wildpuzzle, DK and the stock, all missed HTC scenes and wallpapers. Not that I care much about them, but that brings the question, if these are missing, what else could be missing?
I've used CWR 2.x to flash these ROMs and I did all the wipes before installing them.
I've seen some others having this issue as well. Anybody has a workaround?

No, seems to be some issue with AlphaRev X and Sense ROM's. Only OLD WildPuzzle is working, AFAIK.
@3xeno were could i find the old WildPuzzle rom?
Here:

Remember though, it's built on the CN Froyo ROM. Don't expect as polished an experience as on others.
Anyone knows what happened with wallpapers?
I don't think so, in my opinion it is still very unclear how an s-off bootloader can have an effect in copying files from a zip.
Perhaps someone that ancounters that problem can post a log from CWM?
it is alpharev hboot problem. revert back to stock hboot and make a factory data reset in settings/sd & phone storage menu.

Can you elaborate how? Many want to do this.
Can anyone who used xtc clip alone to S-OFF wildfire confirm some things (whether this issue is there or not).

Since the merger we now have stock RUUs and ROM images in the same forum.
I don't know for sure what happens if you try and flash one on the "wrong" phone, e.g. the G2 RUU on a DZ, or a DZ ROM on a G2. Given they have different stock hboots and hence different stock partitioning, it's not a good idea. Anyone know what happens though (I'm not asking someone to try it for me right now, just wondering if anyone tried in the past) ?
I was just wondering if we should perhaps get some warnings put up in the posts on the stock ROMs to make it clear not to flash these on the "wrong" phone.
Any thoughts ?
P.S. Flashing custom ROMs on either phone is fine, just in case I've confused anyone here. It's just a complete stock image including hboot etc that I'm talking about.
I will be working on getting the forums back in order this weekend. I can add warnings to the OP's I just need to know which ones and what type of warning. Any helps on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
@Mikey & @TDC If you read this, I know you guys have the phones so if you want to help me out on this also I would love you forever!

Unless I've missed one, all other ROMs are custom ones which should be fine on either phone.
Ok all threads now contain a warning. I will post an announcement later in hopes that ppl will make this a standard. Thanks for your help!
Surely it shouldn't matter.
They are the same phone, and the ruu flashes everything, so surely it will just re-partition the phone to its own requirements??
Edit: only prob I foresee, would be flashing a sense ruu to a g2. Because if the ruu doesn't re-partition the phone, the sense ruu won't fit.
Correct me if I'm wrong?

It would be good to know this for sure. There's an hboot in the ROM image and I'm not sure that anyone has tried flashing the "wrong" hboot to their phone. It might works as you say, but then again it might end up with a brick.
The hboot contains references to the partitioning but I'm not sure a ROM flash actually repartitions the storage. I would love to know for certain.
Right now, I think it's best to stay on the safe side
Im sure when i rooted my first dz .. i used visionary.. and then flashed a g2 engineering hboot.
Im sure at the time that was the only one available.

Finally I purchased a Desire HD on Tmobile without any contract ( I Paid just for the phone) Waoow things did change a lot since all the roms I tried on my beloved HTC Blueangel.
It is locked on T Mobile
SW 1.39.110.1 Is this the latest rom? Although so far It didnt bother me all the bloatware from T Mobile, Is it worth leaving them alone ? I know it is possible to debrand desire and unlock etc. Is it also possible to Debrand Desire HD and unlock and flash with HTC Stock rom? Or shall I just not bother?
And also realised some of the HTC things dont work well HTC HUB unable to download catalog etc. Any reason?
Hi,
I got mine on monday afternoon, coming from a Desire.
By Tuesday morning it was Rooted running Leedroid's Rom, wow what a difference.
Only thing I dont like so far, (yes the screen is not as sharp/colourfull, but you do get used to it, it's just when they are side by side you really notice it), is that the ringtone etc is a little on the quiet side.
Apart from that, what a piece of hardware.
Good luck whatever you do, just enjoy it.
Cheers
Been reading on leedroids thread, Although it is easy to follow the instructions, I just would like to know what is permaroot s-off etc mean?

I've noticed the same thing, I've heard that HTC are working on the Hub. Congratulations on a great purchase and welcome to the DHD community.

Woohoo
Since I got my new phone I can not stop reading
I completed visionary temp perm root
And S off unlock etc etc. checked at the boot S -off is there so now my existing orange sim works on this tmobile branded DHD all good.
I have done all this in order to actually put a stock rom on to my new phone without any tmobile bloatware on it.
Now the my phone is ready for a ROM
Can I just put HTC stock rom ? If I do will I be able to install a custom rom later on ? Would I loose root or any other features so far?
Many regards
If you're going to all that trouble, why bother with the stock ROM when LeeDRoid has created (and supports) a truely great custom ROM 1.51? Highly recommend it, as he has made it with a custom kernal allowing easy OC or UC with SetCPU & Smartass governor.
You made need to ENG S-off before flashing the recommended radio though. But make sure you do a full backup with ROM Manger and also copy full sdcard to PC first.
Thanks for your answer, I dunno why I kinda want to keep it stock for a little while before I start flashing with Developers excellent roms

Good idea. Then you will actually appreciate the advantages of leedroid when you get around to flashing it. Flash it straight away and you won't really know what the difference is.
-----
Someone Swyped my idea.
If I was to flash with stock rom later on can I flash it to Leedroids rom later? As I read stock 1.72 2.2.1 somehow deroots and makes changes so can not flash it to custom roms ? Is that right ?If so what do you think my next step ?

As far as I know, you have to downgrade to 1.32 first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
Then root again s-off with visionary, you can then upgrade to a custom rom & kernal (over/underclock CPU).
Some ROM are optimized to work with certain raidios (battery / reception performance, so to flash the suggested one, you'll need to Eng s-off as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076
All worked for me
on the first link about downgrade it says!
System requirements:
HTC Sync (or ADB drivers)
Desire HD with build number 1.72 or higher
Not sure how this is related to me as mine is currently on 1.39

OK, I got you, the post wasn't that clear. Your now stock 1.39 considering upgrade to 1.72 or other OTA update / ROM?
If you upgrade OTA, it will "unroot" your phone, and then you'll have to follow the steps (or some of) I outlined in my previous post. That is if you wish to have root again.
If you wish to upgrade and have root, best bet would be to just install a custom 1.78 ROM and kernal to match.
Yes, for now I just want to upgrade to stock HTC 1.72 and perhaps later flash a custom Rom as I am not very clues up on Android devices ( coming from wm environment) as my previous post what should be my next step ( clean HTC stock Rom ) ?

How do I check my CID ? I cant seem to see it in the bootloader screen ? and anyone know what simlock image crc etc do?
I'd recommend getting permanent root (visionary), eng s-off AND radio s-off, install rom manager from market and flash clockwork mod recovery from it, and then there is a guide on here to upgrade to 1.72 without losing root, by flashing it through clockwork mod.
Still, the easier option is to install a custom rom since those will obviously not try to unroot your phone.

From Fastboot menu -> Bootloader -> System Info
If Super CID, should have CID-11111111, meaning carrier ID unlocked, enabling flashing of ROM other than carrier specific (I think).
Image CRC - not too sure, possibly checksum of certain working harware, radio etc?????????? Anyone?
For the dutch who want to root there 1.72 DHD....

For non-dutch...google translate
It's a really great written artikle on how to downgrade and root your DHD
Thanks,
Now rooted, s-off and eng s-off and debranded

I went S-off with first alpharev x beta. No problems at all, but I left my stock froyo rom. I noticed many people flashing coocked Roms encountered this issue. There is even a fix for this. Could it be something generated by custom roms?

Nope. Seems you are unaware of issue. The issue is small in my opinion. It is just after alpharevx s-off, formatting the phone will not load sense widgets and setup by default. But we can use then manually. Also HTC wallpapers and scenes will be missing. Wallpapers can be used if we have the picture files of them.
Just make a nandroid backup and format your phone to see it.
And I don't know whether it is due to alpharevx hboot or not. Because I don't know the technical aspects of it. And personally I don't think it is due to alpharevx hboot. If hboot has something to do with it, then why should be the old wildpuzzle Rom and Chinese froyo Rom HTCsetupwizzard.apk worked perfectly. And has anyone tried using setupwizzard.apk from any other official roms.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I actually noticed this as well, as soon as I got S-OFF without changing anything, Sense just stopped working properly. Glad you reminded me of that as I was gonna go back to it because CM7 is proving to be unstable in the long run. I might just try another rom though.

The official update is for the end of this month?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
maybe released tomorrow during their conference
this an amazing update by HTC it really transforms the whole phone, their only one bug I could find which is the badly rendered friends stream widget, and one pixel misalignment in the music sound enhancement, but really amazing work from HTC the new gallery rendering is super clean and smooth, the new lockscreen is really something, i hope they pattened it before Apple steals it
It will remove ENG S-OFF, but it will not touch Radio S-OFF. If somebody wants to try that RUU, it is recommended to have Radio S-OFF because then it is easy to go back to another ROM.

Just today i had installed the leaked PD98IMG file of the 3.06.405.2 firmware.
Beforehand i had installed the official 2.50.405.1 RUU and then I installed the upgrade by the recovery.
Well, I was very surprised to find out it was rooted and it still had s-off.
Does anybdy know if installing this RUU I would lose root and s-off?

So can I flash this on unrooted device

I suppose so. Let us know of it works. I would gladly do it of not for the fact that I have already installed this ROM by PD98IMG through recovery.

the only issue i have with it is that the picture on the RUU is of a tablet!? dont really fancy bricking my phone
i was more looking if this was easy way to upgrate /downgrade to gain root access. I really was scared to make the gold card etc...
So if some one had flashed the RUU wanted to see if that worked , especially when they were not rooted
I wanted to see if any one got pass the signature check, this failed for with Signature error.
Hi all,
I am in need of some help I had a Branded DHD on 3, which I unlocked for my DAD who is on Vodafone it was working for a good 3 weeks then either said no sim inserted or lost signal a simple power off and back on seemed to fix it.
However more recently it has given up all together no signal and now wi-fi issues.
The phone was rooted and running ICS The Collective rom , my Dad did not like it so I put on a sense 3.5 rom and as above was running no problem up until now can anyone advise me if indeed it does need a new radio or is there a simple fix?
I have searched long and hard for a solution but nothing if anyone could help it would be great !!:good:

If anyone can provide a link for flashable radios via CWM that wold be great the current rom that is installed is GingerSense4 v1.2.

Does this mean its un rooted again? so I will now need to start again?
It's not un-rooted but S-ON means the security flag is ON. You need to use the AAHK to install an ENG H-Boot with S-OFF, if you want it. It's not really necessary though. The easiest way to flash a radio is through AAHK, if you have no experience of going it before. Read through the AAHK manual fully before doing it. You can't just flash radios in recovery.
It seems you already have the latest radio from the last world wide update for the DHD. I'm going to link you to a newer version, try that and tell me if it fixes your issues. If that doesn't work, I'll link you to an older version which might work. Radios work differently for everyone, depending on the frequencies used in their countries. So it's not a case of 'newer is better' for radios.
New radio (12.68.60.29_26.16.04.09_M) - http://goo.gl/V06BH
Old radio (12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M) - http://goo.gl/jnxBx
Just one thing, BEFORE you flash any of the above radios, just download the corresponding RIL for your 26.14.04.28 radio and flash it in recovery. Run your phone for some time and see if it makes a difference. If you're running a Sense ROM, you need to flash the corresponding RIL for a radio, not so for AOSP ROMs like CyanogenMod/AOKP. Similarly, if you flash any of the above radios, flash their corresponding RILs too (I can't find a link to the RIL for the newer radio, but you can flash one for the older radio). You can get RILs from the link below.

What you are trying to ask is that you are unable to boot into recovery? have you lost your recovery? or you are not having an option in bootloader to go into recovery?
Have you done the superCID thing? I don't know how to do it exactly but there are guides. Search for them. I'm guessing that may be your issue.
