@briand77 -- Nice tutorial, it's good to have everything in one place, if only this was available a few months ago it would have save me a lot of forum searching lol!

Might be best though to see if you can move it to the Development Forum? I'm not sure Q&A many people would find it properly. It'd be a shame for not many people to find it.

@superdon -- I too was with the pain-in-the-ass that is Orange with all their Orange software/wallpapers/ringtones/general rubbish. That was my main reason in rooting mine. In terms of warranty purposes, I made an Orange backup as soon as I was able to boot into recovery mode so that the only thing that had changed to my stock ROM was S-Off and root. Apparently there are ways to put S-Off back on but in my eyes, if the phone is broken and this was down to a software problem, you'd have to be seriously unlucky to brick it. I've not read up on anyone bricking theirs yet. There always seems to be a way back as long as you follow instructions properly!

Battery wise I'm on the 2.0.5 kernel, doesn't seem to be much change to battery but then it's always going to be different for different people. I don't use many widgets, got rid of friend stream/stocks/twitter/news etc so mine lasts quite well. I only lose 6% battery overnight and am pretty much able to go two days now with moderately heavy usage out of it.

good stuff OP, nice to see a consolidated list of steps for those wishing to flash leedroid. I had to hunt around as a n00b but very happy with my DHD now, no more lagging on a stock rom :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foccacia:
Nandroid backup looked complicated to use. btw to backup my stock rom, is it using either TiBackup or Nandroid?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briand77:
Not exactly sure what you are asking, but I think you have the wrong idea about titanium backup(TiBa)

TiBa can NOT!! backup your ROM. It can only make a backup off your applications, settings and such. TiBa is just a piece of software inside the ROM. Compare it to a camera; a camera cannot take a picture of itself. You will need another camera for that. That is where the Recovery module comes in. (In this case we use the one called Clockwork. There are others)

The Recovery module works separate from the ROM. I guess you can compare it to a dual boot computer. You use one Operating System to make an image of the other.

BTW "nandroid" is just a slang term. I guess it has to do with the Nand-storage which is pretty much the core of your phone.

If you want to be able to restore your phone to a previous state, you MUST make a "nandroid" backup from a recovery module. There is just no way around it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foccacia:
then how to I get Nandroid Backup? I cannot find it inside the market.

Is Nandroid Backup part of Rom Manager? Nandroid Backup will create a .zip file?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briand77:
Step 14 in the guide is the nandroid backup. It creates a set of .img files on your SD card (I believe in a folder named Clockwork).

Hey Braind77 one last question , if i want to change to future updates of leedroid what steps do I start from to change.

I figure it is dwnld that latest zip file and mount that to your SD card then wipe the phone after backing everything up and the use clock work to install the zip file
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briand77:
That is correct. Although wiping is not always required. I only wipe for new ROM's. When it is just the radio or kernel I flash right away. Most issues are not caused by "residue" but because people restore all their apps automatically. Re-installing apps is the preferred (but time consuming) method.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uygarpe:
About Clockwork

Just one thing: LeeDroid recommends using 2.x.x.x versions of the Clockwork Mod, not the latest 3.x.x.x releases. I've read about some 10 or 15 posts about problems using version 3.x.x.x of CWM.

hi, first off thanks for your guide!! i'm nearly there, have my phone (aussie voda rom) perm rooted and about to do clockwork step, i'm a total noob with this stuff and am wondering about the md5 hash check, i installed the hash check thing and am now wondering what am i checking? went to properties of the leedroid zip and checksums are there, what do i check them against? sorry if this totally retarded sounds important though?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briand77:
Lee supplies .md5 files for the radios. I think that for the ROM and kern he only mentions the md5 hash code.

If you have the radio and the .md5 in the same dir the program can check if the radiofile is not damaged. If you don't have an md5 file you can still see the md5 hash-code in your file properties. You can then just visually check that hash-code with the code Lee supplied.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks for this thread. It's very useful.

I'd like to learn more about radios and what they specifically do. For example, would a radio for a Desire HD in Europe be different from a Desire HD in Japan for any obvious reasons?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briand77:
Well, my knowledge is very limited, but the radio is responsible for all the data transfer. (http://www.villainrom.co.uk/vBwiki/index.php?title=Dictionary#Radio)

It would make sense to me if there were differences between regions.

Just looking at the phone network for instance. There are different frequencies used around the globe. I can imagine that a developer in the US would focus his attention on the frequency that they use and how to optimize it. He doesn't care if that setup would drain the battery faster if it was implemented in Japan since his version would not be used there.

Or perhaps someone in Australia might need to increase the signal strength for 3G because the coverage might be poor in that region. Someone in Europe might not need that extra strength and would rather lower his power drain.

Since any DHD must work all over the world, the radio's are pretty much the same but they are just tweaked different.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimijames08:
thanks heaps!!! worked perfectly, now running leedroid, no more voda bloatware!!

To install different roms now, do i just repeat process from step 16 replacing leedroid with new rom?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grant Barker:
Thanks for your opinions. I'm curious because here in Japan SoftBank (the carrier) is pretty strict about the regulations. I did flash my Windows Mobile rom many many times here, but the first time I got the access point wrong, it cost me 1000 dollars in data charges regardless of my unlimited packet plan, so I had to find that cash unfortunately. Secondly - I'm curious whether I will still have the SoftBank option via the Android Market as per the pic below. Will that be related to the radio, the rom or what? Does rooting an Android device mean we have to manually enter in the Access Point and login details again (like with Windows Mobile) or does rooting and flashing an Android device not change that stuff at all? (To send MMS's here in Japan, SoftBank supplies an app for free. So losing the SoftBank stuff would be a little inconvenient.)

A few people are rooting their devices here but most of the stuff online is in Japanese and my Japanese isn't up to par, so I stick with XDA.

How to do a proper full wipe so I can flash other roms?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briand77:
The AP shouldn't be a problem. Just write down your current settings and check them after flashing. After the flash I just went through the standard HTC setup and could select my carrier. This also setup my AP and it was correct. I guess Lee uses a worldwide Rom as the base for his work. You could check with him if Softbank is also included.

Just rooting does not change anything. It just gives you the permission to do so.

As for the message app. I can't find it in my market. And from a quick Google it appears that it could be tricky to get it to work. Usually any block by a provider can be bypassed. The only problem is finding someone who has done it before.

It would be weird if they block access to their apps just based on the software. This would mean that if you switched to them from another provider you would have to buy a new phone first. My guess is that they allow the use based on the SIM card. Which would mean that it is just a case of figuring out the custom installation method for the apps.

Eng S-off

I hope that someone can help me. I'm trying to change my radio but when i try to use One click Eng S-Off ([TOOL] One click S-OFF by jkoljo) i always get "Error: Connection Problem".

I have done:

- Permroot with Visionary+

- Given su rights when it was asked. (Have also tryed to give su rights trough cmd)

- Made one click radio S-Off jkoljo) without any problem. ([TOOL][VIDEO] One click Radio S-OFF, SimUnlock (Easy Root Guide) By

Right now i have radio 26.03.02.26_M and Rom ARHD 3.1. In boothloader mode it says

-ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF

I have also tryed to do this with different roms from Stock 1.32, ARHD 4.1 Beta and CM7 RC2.

I have USB debug on and charge only when i try to do this !
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briand77:
Do you have .net and HTC sync installed like it said in the dev thread? Or perhaps a firewall issue?

I did not know you could even flash ROMs without eng s-off.

Hi !

I have .net 3.5sp1 and HTC Synk installed. I have also tryed to to uninstall and reinstall HTC synk becouse i tought Itune uppgrade i made could have destroyed my HTC synk (itune is uninstalled now and will not be installed again on this laptop). I have made radio s-off succesfully with one click radio s-off tool and that also need .net and htc synk.

I have followd the thred step by step and made controlls that i have everything installed.

I went trough this a month ago where i downgrade to 1,32 made radio s-off and eng s-off successfully by instuctions from

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11557769. (and sub threads. Thansk every one !)

After that i haven't had any problem to change rom and tryed ARHD 2.x and 3.x also 4.0 Beta1. I saw i a thread that recomended radio is different from mine so i begun to change radio and from that i understood that i don't have eng s-off.

I have tryed to go back with downgrade back to 1,32 CWM restored other roms but "Error: Connection Problem" with every rom so i restored a CWM backup i hade back to ARHD 3.1

Nice guide.

Might be worth to point out that wiping is not always necessary (rule of thumb: If Dev's says Wipe optional, you do not need to wipe per se. If they say: Wipe, then...Wipe ;))

I am on LeeDrOid v2.2.2 and have not wiped anything yet.

Maybe useful for users to know how they can check the md5sum before flashing: md5sums should be given for radio & roms in the dev section: when you downloaded the file to your sd card, go into astro file manager, long press the file, select details, wait a couple of sec and it gives you the md5sum....easy as that ;)

Also good to point out that it is useful to know what you are doing, before you do it. The one-click tools are of great use, but I found it helpful doing it the 'hard' way, so at least you are a bit more familiar with what can go wrong (i.e. brick your phone).

For reference: in one thread someone flashed the incorrect radio and he did not get past the splash screen. I believe pulling the battery in this case saved his phone

I flashed the Cyanogen 6.1.2 last night, everything went fine. I was previously using Sprint Lovers ROM.

This morning I used MyBackupRoot to restore apps and data, etc. I n00bishly restored my home pages too. But since Cyanogen is not a sense based ROM, I guess that was a mistake. So now my launcher down at the bottom doesn't have anything connected to it and I can't figure out how to get the app drawer connected back to one of the bottom launcher buttons... Sorry if I have mixed up some terminology, etc. This is my first Android phone, had it for a couple of weeks - lots to learn...

EDIT - ok, figured it out. I made a custom shortcut that opened/closed the app drawer, then dragged that shortcut onto the launcher bar button...
