[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Your software is upto date. The update HTC released was removed as it caused a lot of problems for a lot of users.

The most user friendly way would be to simply wait.

If your sure you want to get the update you will need to root your DHD, remove the security (S-OFF), flash a custom recovery and finally flash either a custom ROM that has the updates, or the bugged HTC ROM.

It may sound like a lot of work but if you read through all the relevant guides in the Dev section, you will soon be up to speed. Plus should you need it, you can ALWAYS ask for help.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saluco:
you got it all there on Leedroid topic (v 2.0 in this case)

Q: How do I flash this ROM?

Requirements

* You will first need to ROOT your DHD.

* Apply Radio S-OFF/, S-OFF

* Install Clockwork Recovery: The easiest way is to root your phone as above and download Rom Manager from the Market, which has an option to install C'Work Recovery.

Once you have done as above

1. Drop LeeDrOiD_HD_V1.Xx.zip on you SD card

2. Check the MD5# matches the one in post 1#

3. Ensure you have more than 40% Charge & Unplug your DHD.

4. Boot into recovery (either via rom manager or by powering up with the vol- button held)

5. Select "backup&restore" then backup your existing ROM. (usually referred to as a "Nandroid" backup)

6. If you want a clean install, scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" (this step is recommended but not always required)

7. Select flash zip from SD card

8. Select the LeeDrOiD_HD_V1.Xx.zip

9. Wait for the flashing process to complete and reboot

FYI. It is recommended that you flash radio 26.04.02.17_M2 to work the LeeDroid base 1.72 Roms effectively, failure to do this may result in poor battery, Wifi & mobile connectivity perfom
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saluco:
so...you ownload the rom...from this link

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wof7dbw87cfven0

(if that doesn't work...try this link to a database for HTC DESIRE HD...you got all you need there

http://zantekk.de/~desire_hd/ )

you put the rom on your sd card, reboot on recovery, choose from the menu to install specific ZIP file... reboot

after that

download the radio, put it on the tools folder off your Android SDK directory, open a command prompt and flash it...you got a tutorial on develeopment section about that

I'm hoping Bubbakoush will test since he has a showcase that needs to be flashed back to factory... I wouldn't recommend flashing this until after he can confirm it works

We're here... For the most part i'm waiting on a stable 2.2 or 2.3 based rom. Running pick-n-pack for now with Voodoo5.
[Samsung Mesmerize] blroberts228:
Whenever I got to the terminal emulator and do the "redbend_ua restore /sdcard/recovery.bin /dev/block/bml8" it comes back with a permission denied and then reboots the phone...I've check my spelling/case numerous times. Following the instructions on the original post/thread where the zip file came from goes ok, but the recovery rom doesnt allow me to install the VooDoo in the next step. Any help would be great.

Thanks.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
you more than likely are going to need to install Root Explorer onto your phone.. And use it to move the files (that's what I and many others had to do)
[Samsung Mesmerize] Mesmerizeuser:
Are you typing su first to grant root permissions? You should see a # instead of a $ at the prompt.

Sent from my voodoo froyo Mesmerize
[Samsung Mesmerize] blroberts228:
I have root manager installed and used it to move the files from the /sdcard directory to /system/xbin and I am typing su at the terminal to change from $ to #

One more question:

Do I need to follow the instructions in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=860250

or the ones that are in the first post of this thread?
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
Long press on the Redbend_ua file and click permissions, there should be one check missing, check that so that all are marked. Save and exit.

will Root Manager allow you to do this? If not Rootexplorer will.

if you do this:

I'm not sure if you can do this through terminal or not... I did mine from my pc... you may have to leave off adb shell and just start at su when using terminal...

This is making the file executable

adb shell

su

chmod 777 /sdcard/redbend_ua

while it's still on the sdcard (Before moving it then you don't need to worry about it)

Ok, it seems that the Mes instructions were infact different on this method... I've updated the first post... If you'll read now you'll see what you should be typing in..

sorry about that, and thanx for pointing it out
[Samsung Mesmerize] blroberts228:
I'm sorry, I am using Root Explorer...and yes, I have all 777 permissions to the redbend_ua file under /system/xbin, the only thing that I can think of is by looking in the /sdcard directory, there is no recovery.bin file that the last terminal command is referring to...is there suppose to be, if so, it comes from the voodoo mesmerize post...am I suppose to download that?
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
did you also get the zImage file? it was included in the test_no_voodoo.zip

If you did that step then you need to download ClockworkMod from the market and install the fascinate version of recovery.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=860250

look at that thread and tell me where you're at....
[Samsung Mesmerize] blroberts228:
Yep, ive done all of that stuff also...and whenever I take the entire zip file, rename it to update.zip and reboot into recovery it tells me that the sdcard is busy
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml8

this is what you should be typing....
[Samsung Mesmerize] blroberts228:
right, whenever I do that, It runs through the long line of text, and when It reboots there is no kind of files in the /dev/block directory and no recovery.bin in the /sdcard directory for the commands from your first post to work
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
if you've done this step (have you tried going to the market and downloading THIS)

After phone boots, open RomManager

Click on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery

Select the Samsung Fascinate your phone will still be the Showcase. This is just what works with our model.

At this point you're all stock and ready for new kernel/rom. (but now you are able to do so very easily)
[Samsung Mesmerize] blroberts228:
K, I already had ROM Manager installed, but I've uninstalled it, reinstalled it, and reflashed the Samsung Fascinate as my recovery, rebooted into recovery, and it is showing ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.4, renamed the .zip from the no_voodoo thread to update.zip, and when in the recovery it gives:

[Samsung Mesmerize] blroberts228:
ok, thanks, ill try that.

i tweaked a new little section about CWM you need to read prior to flashing a new kernel...
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
Ok first post has been updated.... Hopefully Clearing up a few things.. Definitely fixing some things that the Mesmerize has different. Thanks to blroberts228 for helping me find those differences...
[Samsung Mesmerize] mparkerfd20:
I've followed everything to the letter and have a nice functioning CWM. However, I'm stuck with the dreaded: E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (Device busy) error. This prevents me from flashing any zips for the sdcard in CW Recovery.

I'm assuming it has something to do with OCLF not being disabled before applying the new recovery image (dangit!). I've tried everything. Anyone have any suggestions?
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
so you're try to do what? Did you flash the update.zip in the first recovery screen?
[Samsung Mesmerize] mparkerfd20:
1. I rooted using z4root.

2. Shortly after getting phone someone install OCLF and installed v1.1 of the lagfix for me.

3. I unzipped redbend_ua and put it in system/xbin folder.

4. Used Root explorer to change permissions

5. Put zImage on sdcard

6. Again used Root explorer to attempt to change permissions. (Still shows it's in rwxrwxr-x even after changing to allow all... Really don't think this should matter)

7. Run the script redbend_ua restore blah blah blah

8. Phone successfully updates and reboots.

9. Download and install ROM Manager and update to ClockworkMod 2.5.04 (for Fascinate)

10. Using ROM Manager I reboot into Recovery.

11. CWM recovery boots up. (all is well up to this point)

12. Try to flash any zip (update or otherwise) and get

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0pl1) (Device busy)

If the sdcard isn't mounted I'm unable to apply any updates. I'm afraid this is probably caused by NOT removing the v1.1 lagfix in OCLF before updating the recovery. Although I have since removed it and tried everything again. Still same problem. Have removed SD Card and reinstalled. Same problem.
[Samsung Mesmerize] mparkerfd20:
Got it to work! Disregard message. Rebooting into recovery from ROM Manager doesn't work.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
good deal...

and before you install a voodoo kernel, you may want to see about disabling that lag fix, I'm not sure about it. I've never used the one click lag fix method...
[Samsung Mesmerize] jbreakfield:
DEFINITELY disable OCLF before installing Voodoo kernel.
[Samsung Mesmerize] blroberts228:
This is pretty much exactly where I am, im to the voodoo part where I change that filename to update.zip, using quickboot I reboot into recovery which tells me "E:Signature verification failed" and it aborts the installation of the voodoo5 kernel...any suggestions?
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
you're not supposed to change the name of any file... once you boot into recovery (JUST USE THE 3 FINGER METHOD)

once you're in recovery use the volume down key until you have the line that says

-apply sdcard:update.zip

once you have this line highlighted hit your power button and it will take you into a different color screen that looks exactly like the one you're in (This is ClockworkMOD)

This is where you can flash files from..

After already having the voodookernel from the link on first post of this page THIS ONE AND MAKE SURE YOU GET THE SHOWCASE ONE!!! installed to your sdcard!!!

you would go to

-install zip from sdcard (hit power button)

-choose zip from sdcard (hit power button)

-whateverthenameofthevoodookernel.zip (hit power button)

I'm seriously not trying to be rude or talk down to you, but at this point I'm really not sure if you should do this, because this can seriously jack your phone up if you don't know what you're doing...

Do you have a friend or know someone that's done this before?

If not maybe you should try logging in the irc channel tonight and get some help..

Be patient and don't just go flashing this stuff, because as of right now there is NO Odin Restore for Cellular South Showcase!!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] blroberts228:
dude, im just reading the instruction off the project voodoo homepage...
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
ok when they say apply update.zip they're not telling you to rename it to that...

they're just saying as a general name... it's going to be called

somethingvoodoo.zip

don't change the name!!!!

i can't download it from work or i would tell you the exact name, but if you follow the steps above and don't deviate AT ALL. Then you should be able to navigate to it.. If you can't find it, then just go to the irc channel
[Samsung Mesmerize] blroberts228:
Its alright, I followed your previous post and got it working...

I'm a IT Network Engineer, I read documentation to the "T" so, sorry if I got confused...

Thanks for your help, VooDoo is now installed and the screens are blinking just like your initial post said they would so I know its installed right. Thanks for all your help!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
no problem...

did you hear a female robot voice talking when your phone was booting? And did it take a long time?
[Samsung Mesmerize] blroberts228:
yep, sure did
[Samsung Mesmerize] mparkerfd20:
Coming from over a year of massively updating the HTC Hero (and having a heck of a time doing so I might add) I have a general question. With the Hero the ROMs were fairly interchangeable for any provider for the device as long as you didn't flash a ROM intended for GSM devices or radio updates, etc. I would assume that would be the case here meaning a CS customer or USCC customer, etc. could flash the same Custom ROMs (through CWM) without issues. Is that a fair assumption or are there other "gotchas" that you have to watch out for with the Galaxy ROMS?
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
As of right now, i'm going to say no... there's a couple of people I've been talking with that are trying to see if a work around will fix this though...
[Samsung Mesmerize] KyleIsTheBeast:
Hey Elijah. Since I didn't want to post a new thread about this, but I have been developing on the HTC Hero for Cellular South and I just went out and got a new Galaxy S Showcase with my income tax. Have had it for about 3 hours now and I have it rooted with the VooDoo Kernel. Let me just say, WOW! This is a LOT better than the Hero. I had a Cellular South Rom made for the Hero when it first got rooted. Now I feel it is time to do some developing with the Showcase. If you need any help, let me know man. I am here.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
I'm sure I can speak for him when I say he needs all the help you can give!:D

at this point there is no one "specializing" for the showcase as far as developing. Eli (and I for that matter) are both learning how to port themes and stuff but haven't stepped too far into the depths of developing yet.

We all appreciate the extra hand either way, welcome to the forum!
[Samsung Mesmerize] KyleIsTheBeast:
Awesome! Hope to hear from you all!

(Also, Just out of random... Is the "It's Phidelt82's PicknPack Rom" worth getting? Or is it really just stock with some apps removed?)
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
welcome to xda... yes, we need all the dev help we can get! as far as the pick n pack rom, it's deodexed and yes it's stripped of a lot of bloat, which you can install those apps if you choose through the add ons. 2.2 is supposed to be out within a month and currently we don't have a stock odin flash, so you may to stay as close to stock as possible
[Samsung Mesmerize] KyleIsTheBeast:
Well that shouldnt be a problem as long as we made the RUU a Rom.zip file then added root permissions... right? Be cause to be honest, that will probably be the only way I am updating to 2.2 until a root is released...

[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
You need to chose the option that says Install zip from SD Card (or something like that I don't have it in front of me right now) and then chose the voodoo zip file. Don't chose the update.zip file, that's your CWM file.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Those error's are telling you that the update.zip file is not on the SD card.

did you hear a female robot voice when your phone rebooted? It should have took around 5 mins to boot up...

You can also download the Quadrant App and run a full benchmark test.. You should get around 1600-1700 if voodoo lag is enabled, if it's not you'll get 800-900

Guys it doesn't sound like he ever flashed voodoo. He tried to flash the update.zip a second time.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
go to install update from zip

choose zip from sdcard

find the zip named voodoo.zip (HIT VOLUME UP it will roll to the bottom which will be where the file is going to be close to)

and hit the power button once you've highlighted it

I was having the same problem with my phone ... so for grins I downloaded the Quadrant App and the first test I got 1750 and the second time I ran it i got 1856....can that be? I have no idea how it did it because I still get the same fault code......

[Samsung Mesmerize] deltascrew:
Solution found

I fiqured out the problem.

I Mistakenly renamed the voodooo.zip file to update.zip.

the name update.zip is used by the cwm recovery.

I deleted update.zip and reflashed CWM recovery in Rom Manager, then rebooted into recovery.

Everything worked just like you said, crazy robot lady voice and all.

my new quadrant score was 1774

[Samsung Mesmerize] Dreadlink:
Okay so I followed the guide step by step. And didn't miss a step but I think I am missing the concept off how to flash Voodoo. I've complete every step successfully up to Flash to CWM -> Samsung Fasicnate. Now what EXACTLY do I do to get Voodoo on because from Rom Manager I've tried Install Rom from SD Card, Install from Download, and any other option on there. I've only successfully installed Froyo. I had no problems with it but I'd like to see what else is out there.

So I click "Install Rom from SD Card" in "Rom Manager."

I click update.zip or my Voodoo zip and either way I get the error.

The phone then reboots and every time says:

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted

I don't know how to get around it. I've been looking around the internet and I really didn't want to have to post to ask because I'm sure the information is out there but I'm tired and have been working on rooting my phone for the first time for 5 hrs now.

Gap in tutorial

First of all, great job to everyone who put this together for us Showcase users! I have followed this tutorial to the T and I am stuck after installing FROYO. The guide says that after installing froyo you should root if you want to keep the stock 2.2 OR flash the pick n pack and that will root for you. However, after flashing Froyo via odin all I have is the stock recovery and the pick n pack tut says that you need the red cwm recovery to flash the rom.

Is it possible to flash the pick n pack rom without rooting first? If so How? Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks to phidelt82 for helping me with this problem. It was not a gap in this tutorial, it was due to the first post in the froyo showcase thread being deleted. Once you flash FROYO via odin then you have to flash CWM via odin also. Just flash cwm-recovery-ALL.tar found on this forum. Then you can resume the tutorial by flashing your rom, kernel, themes, etc.

For others who get confused by the froyo post being deleted, or just being a noob like me. Thanks again phidelt82!

Ok I had my last showcase rooted with 2.2 and was using the superfrankenclean with the ec 10 comavault kernel and it was smoking fast but it had alot of verizon stuff on it like under mobile networks it said home only or automatic a and another one for automatic b. My signal just quit working today all together and then i did *228 and I lost all signal then went into roaming. Took it into cellular south then they couldnt fix it which i knew they couldnt so I got a new phone and now the instructions for froyo are gone and I have rooted it with z4 and tried to follow the instructions on the first page of this forum because i wanted to get back to the superfrankenclean and no matter what i do i cant get to the red recovery screen everytime i apply update.zip I get the e failed to verify whole signature. I have alot of old zip files on my sd card so i moved all but the update.zip file off root of sd card but still get the same error message. So could someone help me to get to the red recovery and also my steps to get back to the superfrankenclean with the comavault kernel. I downloaded the root explorer then extracted the files with root explorer and moved the redbend file to system/xbin i left the other file that came with the 2 files i needed download on my sd card oh and when i unzipped the package I did the extract all from root explorer so i had no zipped files left then I moved the redbend file to system xbin then did terminal emulater and i never saw a bunch of text but it did reboot.
