[Q] ROM Help

Hi all,
Lately i've been reading about the HTC BLACKSTONE procedure to flash, came accross the links and read them. My phone has the version of
ROM - 1.18.707.2(23358) WWE
Radio/Protocol - 1.09.25.14/52.49a.25.26U
I was wondering if someone could help me out in telling me is there is any additional hardware required to flash. I've heard about something called the flash box that is used to flash the phone, and as i'm new to this HTC TOUCH HD. wanted to know if this will need any additional hardware other than USB cable and phone???
Also, i wanted to know according to you ppl which will be a stable ROM, my phone battery dies like within a day, hence planning to flash the radio too.
So if u can help me with with the details of any Stable ROM according to you and a stable RADIO that will not kill my battery this fast???
Please help me out...!!!
I don want to brick my phone without knowing the complete details...
Thank You.
Any kinda help will be appreciated....

you just need the cable and phone. nothing else. your cable should be recognized by your computer.

Thanks for the reply. But the drivers need to be installed. right??

[Q] Installing different Radio Version

Hi guys. First off i should say im a noob trying my hand for the first time at flashing a new OS on a phone.
My intention is to replace my current Windows Mobile 6.5 with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733649
Anyway, i checked and i have one of the x.xx.51 versions, and im attempting to put 2.11.50.20 on. Now ive looked around but cant find any tutorials on how to do this anywhere.
Could you please instruct me on how to do it, or link me to somewhere that i can read some instructions?
All help greatly appreciated.

I'll give you a pass this time since this is your first post but always remember to SEARCH the Forum!!!

This is the link that explains it all pretty much in a nutshell how to do it...
I recommend that you go with something that is more up to date - something like HyperDroid NAND Gingerbread version. The one you posted is fairly older and HyperDroid was made strictly for HD2 - therefore you will see lots of improvements.
I currently have MDJ 2.6 NAND Gingerbread with CM7 and it works flawless. Unfortunately it cannot be found easily due to MDJ not being forthcoming with the source of his work...
Anyhow, best of luck... and remember to search!

[Q] What to do before flashing a ROM

Hey guys I need some help on what the procedure is before flashing a ROM to this phone. I have had other phones in the past that I have put ROMs on. Most of these phones have threads that have what you need to do before you can flash a ROM. However, I cannot seem to find one for this phone. So with your help I would like to make one for this phone. I just need to know what is need and the options are for it. I can then compile all of the info and make it look pretty for any one else looking for this information and hopefully have it sticky-ed.
Thanks for the help guys.

Hi.
First root using SuperOneclick
Allow install unknown sources in your phone
Install Defy 2init
That's it, you're ready to install any rom you want.
All this apps can be found easily here.
Hope it helps.

[Q] Restoring Stock /or better/ Win6.5 ROM to HTC HD 2

Hello,
I do apologize for opening a new thread, but I wasn't able to find a fully comprehensive guide on the website /probably due to me not searching properly, but the situation is a bit urgent./
A couple of years ago I flashed a NAND ROM to my HTC HD2 (a CoreDroid ROM), but now I need to return it to its factory settings. Since it has been a while since I fiddled with ROMs, rooting, etc. I have completely forgotten how the whole thing works. So, now to the point.
I have a CoreDroid ROM installed. I can't remember where to check the Radio version of the phone, however I know I have ClockWorkMod and Cotulla HSPL 2.08 installed. I need to return the phone to Win6.5 OS with the original/or better custom/ ROM, Radio and HSPL (which, in spite of at least half an hour of searching, I was unable to find a download for, neither here or on the HTC website...).
I will also ask kindly for someone to post a link or explain to me step by step how to do that properly. I apologize if the threat is redundant, but, like I said, I need this to happen ASAP. My fiance is leaving the country tomorrow and has lost her phone and, unfortunately, this is the only spare we have, but it isn't working properly with the Android NAND ROM.
If anyone is kind enough to answer my request, many thanks in advance!!!

please explain clearly i am a noob
thankyou
please also let me knwo if there is something like jailbreak and how to do it pls pls

Read the guides in my sig. All of them, including the new user one, HD2 terms one and finally the flashing the phone. There is no 'best ROM' since it's completely subjective. You can't 'jailbreak', only root (which you don't need to do on the HD2 anyway).
