Look http://www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-root-the-htc-desire-hd/here and then get the custom rom from the link above.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueazure:
ill assume you have stock rom on your DHD,

1) firstly, you will need to ROOT your phone ( rooting simply means hardware/ admin access )

2) the DHD has a software LOCK of some sort, purchasing a new DHD with stock ROM, the lock is by default ON, it is called ENG S-ON ( security ON ) , to do any sort of customization, flashing ROMs etc, you will need to 'open that lock , called ENG S-OFF

3) now usually, when you flash a custom ROM, it installs its own radio and you generally dont need to install a separate radio, but if you want to flash your own radio, you will need to set the RADIO LOCK to S-off as well ,,

4) you cannot flash custom roms and do other stuff without CLOCKWORKmod recovery,, it is basically like a menu which is part of bootloader which u use to install ROMs, make nandroid backups , do partitions, formatting etc

--------------------------

^^

now usually the above steps were performed step by step and separately, this took time and patience, but the crafty guys at xda have come up with a complete ONE step process for STOCK ROMs that

1) roots your phone

2) ENG S-off

3) radio S-off

4) installs clockwork mod recovery

the ADVANCE ACE HACK-KIT ,as it is called , simply performs the above steps automatically ! after the process ( which takes around 6 minutes ) , you are good to go with your customization fun

------------

however!!

adcance hack kit requires ADB ( android debug bridge ) ...

you must install it before doing anything.... adb is simply a way to communicate with your phone via your pc from MS DOS command prompt.. the HACK KIT needs adb to run.. there is no other way

installing android SDK / adb ( to get adb to run, you need SDK first )

-------------

after you're done with the above, you can move onto the next step, ie flashing watever rom you like

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

the 'android development ' page lists all the ROMs that are available, RCMix seems to be the most popular ( GB 2.3.5, sense 3.5 ) ,

the flashing process is usually the same ( albeit a minor differences for each ROM), but complete flashing guides are there on their pages ,,FOLLOW THEM!!!!

as for oc'ing , it is something that just requires ROOT, i don't think you need custom ROMs for that ( someone else can clarify ) , but better if you have a good rom

-------------

lastly, the steps i mention above are the easiest ( as per my knowledge ) ,, there is a chance to end up in brick ' situation' if you're not careful or rush things ,,, i dont take any responsibilty ,nor any of the members who contribute the hack kit and rom's etc

you're on your own :)

[EVO 4G General] broad_st_bully:
For the past week or so I've begun having a proble with the charging screen popping up while connected to the USB...sometimes when I'm moving a ROM or archive from my desktop to the SD-Card it pops up halfway through and cancels due to an error & I have to do it all over again (pain in the ass).

I plug in/unplug very easy because I know the EVO 4G has issues with the USB port, so I can't figure out why it just started happening...:confused:

Anyone else having this problem?

You're asking a lot of 1 reply worthy questions in their own threads. Instead of cluttering the forum with useless threads and obscuring more pertinent threads, try your questions here. You'll make a lot less users upset with you as long as you refuse to search/read for your own answers.

Also, please attempt to inject some punctuation in your... writing. Spelling aside, it's sometimes hard to even determine what it is you're asking.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bfitz26:
my apologies, i am new to the epic understood the evo very easily everything i needed to know or find was placed in a wiki such as flashable roms, sorted by build ex... gingerbread froyo etc.. as well as kernals and what roms that they had working with it.. and also some additional mods that could be compiled on each build. if they had some sort of organization on this maybe i wouldn't get flamed nor would other noobs... once again sorry for my noobiness.. :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
It's kernels with e at the end. There is no one here to maintain such a wiki as you saw in the Evo threads. If you want to know what works with what just read the ROM and kernel threads in Development. I read them for a month before even doing my first root.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyjedi:
I second this notion. Rootin' and Romin' on the Epic isn't for the weekend warrior just now. I spent a long time reading and researching before I even got my phone. Still today more time learning than I do flashing.

The Devs do a great job of explaining, just each in their own way. The info is out there, it just takes time to find it. Please take the time, you'll feel better about yourself. I promise.

[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
Yesterday I flashed the Sensation Revolution XE ROM 3.6.2 and the recommended radio. Today my GPS is really screwed up. It is taking about 15 minutes to make a connection. The phone will very quickly pick up 9 or 10 satellites but will not connect. I installed the Faster Fix app and that seems to help pick up the satellites faster, but still no connection for 15 to 20 minutes. Anyone else with this problem and is there anything I can do short of going back to the stock ROM?
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Do you know what ril you have with that recommended radio? I have heard that the radio and ril's need to correspond to work efficiently. Also keep in mind that kernel's also have a factor as well.

My hunch is that it's the kernel that the rom is using.
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
The kernel version is 2.6.35.14-sensation-faux 123-v0.2.1+.
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
I just discovered the MD5 checksum from the file on the download site and the file on my computer do not match. What can I do about that and how can that happen?

Sorry they do match - I was checking the zip file not radio.img
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I know for a fact that faux kernels do not play well with the gps.conf files (well for me anyway, Im on tmous). Have you tried other kernels or even reverted to stock kernel. Reboot and try to get a lock.

I use gps status app to see if I can get locks and works for me.
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
I can get a lock, but it takes a very long time - maybe 15 - 20 minutes. I would like to go back to the stock kernel and downloaded the file to my PC, but the instructions for flashing are very vague to me:

How to use:

1. Download kernel package

2. Flash in recovery

3. Done!

4. You can adjust OC settings using Daemon Controller application (find it in your app drawer)

1. should the package be downloaded to the PC or the phone? And should it be extracted?

2. How exactly does one "Flash in recovery"
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Flashing a kernel is very much like flashing your rom. Just download the kernel, which would be a zip file. DO NOT extract it. Then put the zip file on your SD card. Keep a current copy of the faux kernel to rever to it or have a nandroid handy before flashing anything!

Go to recovery, clear cache partition AND dalvik cache (under advance). Don't worry your apps and settings won't get erased. Then after those two steps, go to install from zip from sd card.

Choose the kernel and flash from there. Once the script has completed installing, just reboot the phone.

Try out your phone to ensure you can use it first off. Then if it looks, feels ok, then try out the gps in an open area with a direct line to the sky. Let me know if it helps!

FYI: for what it's worth, I don't mess with overclocking at this point. Just a personal preference.
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
This is not looking good. After flashing the kernel the phone will not boot up. It has a white screen with htc letters on it and it's been like that for several minutes now.

What do I do now?
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Some times the boot screen shows for a while when installing a new kernel and after clearing the caches. Is it boot looping? If not then, go back to your pc, bring up a dos window. type in adb reboot recovery. That should bring you up to clockwork recovery. And revert back to the prior kernel or just flash the rom over with just a cache wipe and dalvik cache.

If the dos screen doesn't recognize the phone, simply take the battery out, put it back in and hold the power and volume down button at the same time. That brings you into recovery as well.
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
OK, I'm back in business. I reinstalled the ROM and the phone booted up. Now about that kernel. Should I just try again or is there a plan B?
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Did you get the stock kernel from here?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16419842#post16419842

Plan b would be replacing the gps.conf file on the phone. Are you up for it?:D

[HTC Sensation] thunderskain:
Hi, stev32k

I was having the same problem with you initially when using ARHD 3.6.2. I tried many methods including your mentioned faster fix app but to no avail. Even modifying the gps.conf file did not help. Later on i went to flash radio and kernel but that did not change anything.

After searching all around, I found out the solution to my problem by accident. As some of my Apps were having FC's with superuser, i decided to uninstall the superuser updates and revert back to the old version. Coincidentally, after the uninstall of the updates, my GPS lock on timing became super fast and within 20 seconds a lock.

I thus came to the conclusion that somehow, superuser version 3.0.5 causes some GPS locking problem. Perhaps you might want to try to remove this update too and see how it goes?

Let me know if this solves your problem too.
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
I am also having problems with superuser. It seems to be the update because when I uninstall the update it quits force closing every time it's called on. Someone mentioned going to a version 2.?, but I can't any of the earlier versions. I would be grateful if you could post a link to one of the older versions.

I have not tried GPS since uninstalling the update, but will give it a try later and let you know if it helped.
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
Yes, I got the file from the place you linked to and I am up to replacing the GPS config file. Will give that a shot shortly.
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
I think I can confirm thunderskain's problem with the GPS / superuser interference.

I uninstalled the superuser update, turned on GPS, then started GPS status. It found 6 satellites and got a lock in 19 seconds while inside. I repeated turning GPS off and on and call up GPS status 5 times without the superuser update and the lock times were never more than 19 seconds and a couple were under 10 seconds. The average was 10 seconds, the high was 19, the low was 5.

Next I rebooted, opened up root explorer and it got superuser permission. Then I repeated the GPS on/off and calling up GPS status 5 times. The lock times ranged from 81 seconds to 11 seconds. The average was 45 seconds.

Next I tried to remove and allow superuser permissions until superuser started giving the force close errors then repeated the same testing procedure of turning GPS on and off and measuring lock times. For 5 repeats the average was 65 seconds the high was 97 and the low was 29 seconds.

The final test was to remove the superuser update, reboot the phone and repeat the testing procedure again. This time the average of 5 tries was 12 seconds, the high was 23, and the low 4.

As a result of this I am convinced the Superuser app is interfering with the GPS function. I cannot explain why the lock times were in the 15 minute range yesterday and the longest today was in the 90 second range. That's a big difference so something else was going on yesterday that is not happening today.
[HTC Sensation] thunderskain:
Thanks :) Nice to know it helped. Hoped this superuser bug can be fixed soon in the new updates.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Would this help?
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
Yes, I think that will help. Now how do I install it?:)
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I'm guessing its a normal apk install. Meaning put the sucker on the sd card and click install with root explorer or the like.
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
Thanks, I was just kidding:). I used easy install and it's already installed.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Oh nvm :o lol

So how is it working out? Still getting fc?
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
If I click the program itself I get FC. But the apps that need superuser permissions are working OK. It seems to have stopped the GPS interferences (maybe).
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
Well this is the pits. Superuser updated itself to 3.05 again - have no idea how it did that, but that's why (I think) I'm getting the FC. I looked and I don't see an automatic update option so I don't know what happened? I'll re-install again and see what happens.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Here's a list of all SU versions.

http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/
[HTC Sensation] thunderskain:
I have some problems with the re-installing too.

I solved this by going to the market>Menu-MyApps>Superuser> and untick the automatic updates.

If this still does not work, use titanium backup and freeze the app.

Should stop it from updating.
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
This is getting stranger and stranger. I unchecked the automatic update in market and reinstalled the 2.3.6 version a second time. Then rebooted and called up SU to confirm which version was installed and it said 2.3.6.1.

Today I checked SU again just out of curiosity and guess what - the version number is now 3.02. That is the first version I downloaded from the market. So now I'm beginning to get a little pissed and think I'll just freeze that sucker. So I go into Titanium Backup (after paying $5.99 to upgrade) and Superuser is not listed as an app. I refresh the app list and still no SU. SU is in the app drawer and in settings -> applications -> manage apps -> all apps, but TB cannot find it.

The good part is that SU 3.02 seems to be working - no FC after messing with it several times.

P.S. The bad part is that GPS is now slow to lock again. I ran five tests and it is taking anywhere from 1.5 to 4 minutes to get a lock outside under a clear sky - inside will not lock after 30 minutes.
[HTC Sensation] thunderskain:
From what i can see, the newer versions of superuser don't work well. Either you get FC's or GPS problems. Probably now you might not experience any problem with the root aps with SU, but the fact your GPS takes quite a while to lock proves it still does not solve the problem. So you have to use back an older version.

I'll check with my set and see if superuser can be found in TB or not.
[Captivate General] KMan94:
I've always been reasonably happy with my battery life. If I use it heavily it goes down. If I don't it can stay charged for a couple of days. Within the last week or so that has dramatically changed. All of a sudden it barely makes it through the night from a full charge to 10% or so. It also "seems" that normal use drains it at least twice as fast. Anecdotal but I know something is wrong or different.

I haven't made any changes to my phone for months. I'm running existz kernal for 2.2 and that is the only customization. I did get a bunch of app updates but that always happens. The battery use screen shows the batter is being used for display but over night, it doesn't/shouldn't display much.

Thoughts on how to find what the heck is going on would be appreciated.
[Captivate General] Human_dude_007:
Use spare parts app and find out battery stats on partial wake clock usage and sensors usage :-)
[Captivate General] afrojoc:
What I would do if I were you is charge to 100%, recalibrate, and take the battery out for about 15 minutes before you put it back in and turn your phone on. I dunno.why this procedure worked for me but that's just a suggestion if you don't wanna flash to stock and back to whatever you're using.
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Uninstall updates, then add them back, one at a time.
[Captivate General] capocaccia:
I notice dramatically different battery life when I use this procedure to charge my phone known as a bump charge.

1) charge to 100% or as close as your phone will get while it is on.

2) Disconnect charger

3)Turn off phone

4)Re-Connect charger while phone is off

5) Wait until the phone says 100% charged while it is off. You can check the charge by using the volume buttons if the screen is asleep.

6) Unplug charger. (This is important. If you boot your phone with your charger plugged in it can give you inaccurate battery information.)

7) Boot up the phone.
[Captivate General] C3LL0PHANE:
That is really odd but mine has started doing the exact same thing. I have never had battery issues and for the first time today my phone was completely dead within 6 hours, and the past week it seems to hardly make it 12 hours.

I was just assuming it was the launcher I was using but I removed it and it never helped whatsoever.
[Captivate General] KMan94:
I would agree with you on that but... I really have no idea what all got updated and don't know how to find out. the perils of auto-update I suppose.
[Captivate General] KMan94:
I'll give that a try... it made it through last night in pretty good shape though. Confused I am.
[Captivate General] ctechbob:
Not sure if this helps or not, but here is my experience.

I have two wireless routers in my house. One I keep locked to N-only and the other to G-Only. The N router I have suspected for some time has a weak or flaky radio because I can watch the signal strength fluctuate wildly over a period of 10 seconds or so. I noticed a while back that when my phone is connected to the N router it will kill itself pretty much overnight. When I disable that connection and let it connect to the G router it only loses a couple % over an 8 hour period.

I don't know if it is due to being connected to N, or if my suspected flaky router is causing it to use more power staying locked onto the signal or something of that sort.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jeffrey_L:
Question for somebody who has actually handled a Lapdock: how do phone calls work? Will it make/receive calls with a bluetooth headset? If you do not have bluetooth active will it turn on the speakerphone? Or, do calls not work while on the Lapdock?

Oh, and if you are on the phone, will it still surf the web (wi-fi or otherwise)?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cryp7os:
Okay, I can chime in with a few answers...

Phone calls without bluetooth headset - Yes it defaults to speaker phone and works great.

Using webtop while talking - If you're only on cdma you'll lose your internet connection however with either wimax or wifi on you'll still be able to surf in style. (Webtop speed doesn't to affected either)

I would guess that if you're using a bluetooth headset it's just connect with that as normal but I'm not 100% as I don't own a bluetooth headset to test it with. :)
