HI all,
Recently got my desire z after my late desire hd died on me, I didnt install any custom roms on the desire hd because i couldnt figure out how to s-off or how to downgrade, and when i got my desire z i found that its exactly the same and am in need of some asistance because i cant stand the stock rom its not for me. Does anyone know of a noob guide to downgrade, root and then to install a custom rom, any help would be appreciated thanks

Hi there!
So i was wondering if i should root my phone, and how would i should do it? I would like to avoid to write large amounts of commands on my phone.
I really like the uberroot way of doing it (please correct me if it's called something else.)
Is it safe to do it that way?
I've been looking for a vanilla froyo/gingerbread rom for desire z, and frankly,i haven't stumbled upon one yet.
I just wanna make TOTALLY clear, it's for desire z, not g2.
Hope you can help me!

All of the custom ROMs are compatible with both devices
Rooting with rage is the SAFEST way to go, just requires some simple adb commands:

CyanogenMod is as close to vanilla android you can get with heaps of awesome tweaks

Enom's ROM is another awesome vanilla ROM:

Awesome man, thanks for quick reply.
So in theory, that means that i could flash a g2 rom on my desire z?

+1 for the in depth answer above....
...and yep, these roms can be flashed to either device.
Hi! I just bought my desire HD a while ago. I came from xperia x10 and been following their forums here in xda. Although they are both Android phones, it seems that I am confuse and not familiar with the terms used in this forum. So I want to ask help frm any of you who are already familiar with this phone. I want to have a guide as to where will I start; rooting, updating firmware, optimizing, etc. As i find most of the posts here too confusing and i don't know where to start so if anyone can guide me thank u in advance
I second that.

You will get many answers to that. My favourite daily is Rcmixhd v05. Doesn't update as much as some others but its the best option if you want a nice smooth experience which is close to stock. The gingerbread keyboard is great too. It is better than HTC stock.
The truth is that there is not that much difference between the different roms except some cosmetic things, and the odd added app.

Xperia X8 will not get android 2.2 officialy, but you can try MiniCM X8 or 2.2.1 CM HACKDROID v0.12 from ratch.. And yes, you have to root your phone
Thank you, i have just successfully rooted my X8, what would be the next step to get unofficial 2.2 please?

Guys,
I am very new with HTC phone, plan to get a HD2 phone hardware, will not use WM 6.5, want to run Android. I know it can run many custom ROM here.
Just want to know if HD2 can run Desire HD stock ROM?
sorry, if this has been asked before.
Thanks
James

Hi,
Yes,stock ROMS are available.
Please check here:
http://android.hd2roms.com/
no you cannot just download a desire hd rom and flash it to your hd2, they have to be ported across first so im not sure what the above is saying
the above too advance for me， is there a easy way of doing this， like sony phone come with pc software， few clicks wait and restart， then you got flashed lastest ROM.
cheers

So I'm guessing you've never heard of CWM?
What he's saying is, you can't just download the desire HD's stock rom, and flash it and expect it to work. E.g. if you go to the HTC website and download the latest desire HD rom there, and try to flash it to the HD2, it won't work.
What you have to do is go into our android development forum, either sd or NAND, and look for a desire HD rom there to flash.
This guide well explain all the quirks of the HD2 NAND world.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021837
you should just read the guides on how to flash android and take a look in the android nand section and all your questions would be answered.
if the above is too advanced you should have bought an desire hd cause this site only showed available android roms for hd2 and has nothing to do with flashing.
just a collection sorted by the newest updated build with a link to it's xda thread.

There are a lot of ways you can do this.
What's on your phone? Froyo, Gingerbread?
Did you do anything to it, so far?

I used AAHK as it seems to be the easiest way to unlock it.
Just follow the instructions.
I'm running CM7 now and loving it.
Yeah use the ace hack kit...easy squeezy

Do you have much information on development section...Everything well explained, i learned from there...
The development forums are the best source of knowledge for anything you want to know about modding your DHD, trust me give it a go
And if you're on Telus you will need (like I needed...) to do a goldcard...
I haven't succeed without it ! Even following (almost) every instructions.

AAHK does goldcard AUTOMATICALLY no matter the network. Super CID, ROM included. How hard is it for people to just read...
