That's the old froyo stock desire NAND ROM from DFT, the first NAND ROM for the HD2. You'll need to flash MAGLDR 1.13 (chances are you're on an old version since you have that ROM) followed by CWM (with the correct partition size) and a new ROM. Check the guide in my sig as for how to do this.
As for why it says the device is a desire, the build.prop in that ROM identifies the phone as a desire so that it's compatible with the Play Store.
so i insatalled device manager / htc sync manager and it does not detect my phone. Running windows 7
is there any way i can just go back to stock everything and i can jsut start over?

You don't need HTC Sync manager. If you want to start over from stock, just flash the stock RUU from the bootloader but I don't really see why you would. Personally, I'd just enter the bootloader, flash MAGLDR 1.13, flash CWM in USB Flasher mode in MAGLDR and then flash a new ROM in CWM.

Haha! Well, it might help if there was actually a question in your first post
But in presuming you're looking to root it, check the Development topics, lots of ROM's to choose from, guides in there to follow on step by step instructions on how to do it.
I would suggest reading through those first before asking questions though as many people ask the same questions
Yeah im familiar with roms ect but i just wanted to no if his model was compatible with visionary thanks for help dude also its branded tmobile so would i make a goldcatd before or after rooting to debrand

You can root using visonary with that software version. No need to make a goldcard or downgrade

yep it will, before you flash a custom rom though, you need to check out the 2 s-off tools in the developent section (Radio & ENG) after you root, run both of thoes tools from your pc, you can then use rom manager to install clockworkmod recovery, then your free to install all the custom roms you want
After you install Clockwork, don't forget to take a backup of your T-Mobile ROM just in case anything happens you can flash it back to stock.
Yeah cool guys so
1. Root with visionary.
2.Permroot
3. S.off ENG
4. Install rom manager and install clockwork.
5. Flash rom?

You should get radio s-off as well as eng s-off ng
Sent from my Desire HD pocket rocket.
Then you can go on dev boards and learn about radios and things like that, but that is the stuff that can brick you're phone as my friend recently found out with his desire HD, but if you follow instructions and don't unplug half way through :L you should be fine!
I no about radios and roms im a desire user just needed help sorting my bros dhd for him

So i've s-off'ed my Desire Z and been running a few different custom roms for the last couple of months.. Then suddenly yesterday Wifi wont turn on anymore (running CoreDroid). At first i thought it was the rom, so i flashed another rom (DoubleShot rom) but problem is still there !
When i go to settings to turn it on it just sits there for about 15 seconds.. After that i get the message "error" and then its turned off again
I thought i have read about this somewhere here, but i cant find the thread
Does anyone have suggestions to how i can fix it?
What i find really wierd is that since this started the part in the initial setup (after a rom is flashed) where you are to choose which wifi network to connect to .. That part is just not showing..
Try flashing a new radio

I have problems doing this. I need to first flash the Eng hboot, but for some reason the links in the wiki to the proper usb drivers for adb, is dead and i cant seem to find them anywhere else..

If i install the stock rom again would that also mean to reflash the radio ?
Sorry I don't have the Download links as I don't own this phone. Ussually the drivers can be installed by installing the Android sdk as well as HTC sync. And yes going back to stock meaning a ruu will reflash the radio. Good luck

Well got my stock 1.34 rom installed through the bootloader.. But wifi still wont turn on.. Guess its damaged then
Because I'm running on a rooted 2.2.1 phone. I followed gfree's ultimate root and now I want to flash a mod , so do I have to update my software?
Anyone ?...........
You can just start flashing. You're already set. Just make sure you boot into recovery and make nandroid of your current rom. Might want to update recovery through rom manager before anything though.

Hello,
Is there any other option to flash recovery, beside the magldr method, like adb push or some app? I can't get my computer to work with the recovery installer for magldr, and for some reason I don't have a recovery in the phone although I have a custom Rom flashed on it. I have to add that all of that was done before I bought it and I don't really know much about flashing things on HD2 because it is different from other natively android devices. Please help

AFAIK 4EXTRecovery/ TWRP & other recoveries work the same way, give a the link below a try there are links to those recoveries & also how to use NativeSD.
Thanks, I'll give it a try

Yep, try what mengfei said, or alternatively you can flash cLK 1.5 which comes with CWM built in.
