The Three Network (recently bought by Vodafone here in Australia) released the Desire HD with a ?slightly different ROM to Vodafone. It has a higher build number and includes the customary links to "Planet 3" services. After installing Paul's unofficial clockworkmod, I did a factory reset and then used clockworkmod recovery mode to backup the ROM (so there's no personal info in the data image file). I'm completely new to Android, but I was thinking along the lines that Three Network customers might want the option of getting their device back to stock condition (after messing with it like I did). I know these factory roms can be regarded as 'bloated', so I doubt other Androphiles will be interested in flashing it. Well done to Paul and the other Desire HD developers on Modaco and XDA developers. The link is:

Hey, i am a Three Australia DHD user as well, I was wondering with this ROM, does it flash the HBOOT to S-ON as well? Or is there a method for me to flash back my Hboot to S-ON if required?
No. The rom is S-off. I had to install ENG HBOOT (S-OFF) in order to install clockworkmod and make the backup. Happy Three Networking . I think (but am not sure) that you can use the "DHD script for flashing hboot" found elsewhere on this forum from Android terminal emulator to restore your original HBOOT (as long as you made a back up of it when you first used that script to flash the Eng hboot).
The script I referred to above is available here:

You could flash my Three rom. Before you do that, make a note of your Vodafone APN's (Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names). After flashing the Three rom, you'll need to change the APNs (which were 3services on the Three Network) to Vodafone's equivalent. In order to flash the rom, you'll need Paul's Visionary permaroot and clockwork recovery (the Restore option). As they say on the threads, all at your own risk.
On second thoughts, go with LeeDroid, if your gonna flash a new rom
... And consider buying him a beer.

Thanks mate for updating me with where the rooting and rom application status is on DHD. I was basically after a stock (clean/unbranded) rom with no tweaks. I think in my recent Android phones, DHD probably has the best factory rom.

My Planet 3 rom is a backup of a 'stock' rom (made using clockworkmod recovery's nandroid backup feature), with no tweaks or user data added. So, you could use it. You'd need to follow the method described above though. You need clockworkmod recovery in order to restore it.
Help
Hello.
I also have a 3 mobile Desire HD here in australia. I am having a little trouble. Was wondering if you's could help.
I want to load a different rom. Leedroid or Defrost. Not sure yet but i am struggling.
I have used visionary r14 to permaroot the phone. I have done a backup with titanium and i have rom manager. This is where i get stuck.
All the stuff i have read does not make this really clear. I want to make a backup of the rom that is loaded just incase i ever want to turn it all back.
I go into rom manager and i click on Backup Current ROM
phone reboots and a pic of the phone comes up and it has a red ? above it. phone restarts and nothing happens.
I am unsure what to do and where to go from here.
Any help would be great.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doesent matter. I got it sorted and was able to do a backup.
Took me a while but got there. Has anybody put on a different rom yet like either of the ones i have mentioned?
Hi jonkers71
Rom manager does not work for the desire HD yet. The guy who writes the rom manager app also writes the 'official' clockwork mod recovery. Paul's clockworkmod for the desire HD is not supported yet by rom manager. By the way, Paul is the same guy who wrote visionary. My file is a backup of a blank planet 3 rom, so you can keep it as a backup. You need Paul's clockwork mod installed (after you root your phone) in order to make backups and do restores. Clockwork mod does exactly the same thing as rom manager except it runs after you take the battery out, put it back in, and boot while pressing volume down. It runs in text mode (like a dos program or a BIOS in a PC). Its really simple. Just choose backup or restore. Most custom roms are installed using clockworkmods 'install from zip' option. See the tutorial thread by Paul which tells you how to install clocmworkmod. Its by far the easiest way to install, backup and restore roms. The backup command backs up all your data too. This is also a more reliable backup in most situations than titanium because its a bit like a ghost or acronis disk image in a PC.

just edited first post.
Was able to get it up and running. Just wasnt reading the info correctly.
Is there any way of installing leedroid or defrost then after i have the back up?
Follow the tutorial on rooting the phone and installing 'eng hboot' (which is simply a text based menu that appears when you boot the phone while pressing volume down). Install Paul's clockwork mod using his tutorial. Download leedroids rom and put it on your SD card. Turn off the phone by pressing power for 2 secs and selecting turn off. Take the battery out. Put it back in. Press and keep pressing volume down, while you tap the power button. A text menu appears, select 'recovery', then select 'install from zip'. 2 minutes later you have a new rom. Select reboot from the menu.

Thanks for the info. Was pretty sure i knew how to do it. ran into a slight snag though and thats why i asked.
Guess it works better when you have the right rom to flash. hahaha. anyways all on and running now.

I am on 3 network also.
A couple of family have DHD from 3 with stock roms and they are shockingly slow.

hi Guys i am after the ship rom for this 3 aus to revive a dead DHD.
thanks in advanced
So I want to do the new sw update but can't because I deleted some stock apps so the checksum wouldn't match and a hard reset won't restore them I guess so I would flash a stock rom but am I right thinking there isn't one yet? So how can I get to an original rom and then update or maybe make the new update work?
D2G stock rom
I don't know if the update will be compatible or not but from my understanding this is pretty much the stock rom that Motorola handed Verizon to put all their bloatware on then release the phone. I did load this rom on my d2g and it works flawlessly. Might be worth a try, not a direct link but will get you headed in the right direction. The rom manager gives you the opportunity to load the barebones stock google rom or the Vanilla based version, it just downloads and flashes, works perfect I didn't even have to re-activate. It is already pre-rooted so maybe the update won't work but I just wanted to make you aware of it. I work at verizon and did the update to the floor model and my dad's stock d2g also and didn't notice any difference really. I think vzw is just fixing some of the bugs that they created anyway so having the stock rom may end up with the same result, a rom that functions perfectly, good luck!.......droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-roms/106629-rom-fission-2-4-droidx-vanilla-generic-android-aosp-like-fission-rom-manager.html
@evil yeah im kind of in the same boat, let me know if srensber solution works for you.
I froze a bunch of apps with Titanium Backup and renamed some stuff with Root Explorer. I recently just re-named everything i changed back to the factory stuff (bak -> apk) but it still doesnt seem to do any good.
I did create a number of back ups using Rom manager but i cant seem to find out where they are located and how to restore them. hmm. Not sure what to do.
Ah i realize what ive done wrong ... i didnt know you had to have bootstrap installed along with clockwork recoveryy in order to make a backup hmm. Going to need a rom of stock d2g lol.
clockwork recovery installs a boot hijack, which might be the culpirt

I cant seem to find the download link anywhere... and after you loaded this rom did you try to update to 2.4.3 ?
If anyone else has any input about this please help!
If you were impatient and flashed a leaked SBF like and still wants to get the official update, here is a shord guide for you. I examined the 6.36.0 sbf and the code groups for CG31 and CG39 are the same as the leaked froyos so i flashed it on my phone running CM7 and it booted After it i downloaded the OTA let it install and now i am on the official 2.2. I can change it with the CM7 anytime i want and if i have to take the phone to the service restore it to stock 2.2 So step by step
1. If you are on any leaked froyo download the latest us eclair sbf(JORDN_U3_6.36.0) from http://www.and-developers.com/sbf:defy
2. Boot into the stock recovery and wipe
3. Boot into the bootloader and install the SBF from point 1
4. Let the phone reboot then go throught the motorola blur registration then setup a wifi connection.
5. Download the OTA (settings->about) and if the download finished let it reboot and install the update.
6. Enjoy stock untouched 2.2 T mobile froyo
hi is this only for US people or will it work in UK as well?
It will work but it does not worth it. It is the same version as the one was a month ago... the nordic 177 or CM7 is better.

Can i send in my defy for service with this rom?
Edit: I guess this rom is official. Read this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044980 .Cool stuff. Thanks for the heads up!
I tried flashing this and now my phone wont turn on i needed this so i can return it to T-Mobile with a stock ROM, but now my phone won't even turn on. Tried removing battery and putting back in, no matter how long i press the power button, it wont even turn on. help plz
On which rom were you before? Did you wiped before flashing the sbf? I have done it myself many times.
i was on CM7 and i wiped and flashed like u said. it might be my phone.
EDIT:
well nevermind, looks like the screen is fried. it seems to have flashed but the screen wont display anything cause when i plug it in to the computer, i hear the little beep and the LED notification appears, but no display.
you cant burn the screen like that. If it beeps then you are ok. You should try flashing the nordic sbf for example, fom it i have gone fortth and back to the us froyo the way i described.
so what should you do:
1remove your battery and while putting it back hold volume up.
2 start RSD lite and connact your phone
3 if it is connected flash the sbf.
If the PC does not sees the defy then your battery is flat. Charge it with an external or try mcgyver, you cant brick defy with flashing.
Will this work if you flashed the 2.2 OTA then used a custom froyo ROM. I basically want to take this phone back to stock.
I thought we couldn't downgrade.

i was on nordic when i did the things i written. Got back the official now i have done it from other custom roms like CM7, but wipe in the stock recovery before trying it. I dont have any problem but seems like someone had so be careful.
I'll give it a shot because my nandroid restore is buggy.
Will post results.

Finally a way for US users to return to FULL STOCK regardless of firmware
It worked!!!
I was on barbones 1.5.1 then went to a backup nandroid version of my original stock rooted. Was kind of buggy so I decided to try this
1. Wiped everything using the stock recovery
2. Bootloader and flashed nordic 2.2.2 and "skipped" the automated setup until the phone desktop appeared then waited until RSD said the phone "passed".
3.Wiped everything using the stock recovery again
4. Bootloader and flashed 2.1 JORDN_U3_6.36.0 then pressed "start" at the motoblur screen and waited until RSD said the phone "passed".
5. I then entered my motoblur info and "skipped" everything until I was at the android desktop. After syncing was finished (waited about 5 min) I proceeded to "Download the OTA (settings->about->system updates) and after the download finishes let it reboot to install the update"
Thanks "vick33" nice find!
Note:
I could not update the kindle app without it giving me unsigned package errors. My solution was to root and uninstall the oem kindle app.
Then unroot and perform a factory reset. The oem kindle app did not restore and I was able to install the latest kindle without errors.
No other issues have been found.
*** CONFIRMERD TO WORK ***Another solution maybe to update the kindle app prior to updating the phone to 2.2 via OTA. Possible the better way to go considering it does not require rooting or removal of a system installed bloatware.
i mean the screen doesnt show anything. screen is black, idk whats wrong with it. im not saying the sbf had anything to do with it, just saying the screen went out. i just turned it in anyways, so ill be getting a new one soon.

You're luck. After upgrade mine boot up but with all settings and apps restored, however it after rooting it wasn't stable. Got to do factory reset and... for a first time used TiBu to restore my apps - works flawlessly . The only issue was the lack of Polish Swype (got it with Eclair) but used the one from CEE ROM and it works flawlessly.
mine simply has lost his Haptic Feedback... it must be restarted to gain his capabilities restored. is losing also his WiFi (with error message in wifi and network settings) and the data connection...
any ideas? could be from the JuiceDefender wrong resources management?
I am on motorola defy with formware version 2.51.1. If I upgrade to this will I lose my root, if I lose root can this be rooted by SuperOneClick.

This ROM is blurred. I flashed it over 2.2.1 (the UK 3.4.3-11 ROM), which I had previously successfully rooted via SOC (in fact, an older version, from months ago), but, as, at first, for strict test purposes, I decided not to wipe anything at all after flashing this ROM, the root condition (just like all my applications and settings) was kept as it was before. My Defy is in this very state ever since.
By the way, I haven't noticed differences between the two ROMs.
Just my 2 cents...

Carlos
i have installed the full sbf
no problems with haptic feedback.
all looks fine and smooth..blur is also working nice ..even you can skip the setup.
just the 3g gets stucks up when the phone is idle..(the "H" is shown but the arrows ↑↓ are greyed out ..i have to reconfigure the apn and set it again to get it working.
Guys ne thoughts on this 3g problem..?? i have used defy baseband to switch my baseband for india.
EDIT :: solved the problems....i think this is problem free blur rom so far ...!! kudos to motorola uk..!!
note :: i didnt download from any links given here..i had some other source.
Their is some problem with the link? I have tried to download 3 times, but corrupt file...

Hello everyone,
I'd like to express my gratitude to the developers for their great work to keep this phone working..
I have a couple of questions and would appreciate all the help I can get to help me with the phone.
I had installed CM7 on my phone for 4 months during which it kept rebooting and giving me a lot of trouble, so I installed the russian stock sbf (since it has arabic) two days ago and it works great and fast, except for one thing: the battery drains extremely fast. Now, I consider installing the new ics recently posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069578
My questions:
1- The russian stock has everything I need and is fast and stable, so I do not want to go back to CM7 which keeps rebooting and wouldn't recognize my sd at times. Is there anyway I can improve battery life on it?
2- Would you please post how I can install the new ics in that link? Please be as specific as possible..
3- How do I clean my sd card? which folders should I not tamper with? it looks messy with all the different zips and folders..
Thank you all.. Happy new year

Got it
It took me a while and some research to apply it.. Thanks for your reply.. I will try to post the steps I did so that people like me won't have the problems I had.. I needed to refresh my memory to remember what I did when I first rooted the phone and installed 7.2 a while ago..
BTW.. I couldn't find the keyboard.. the only/default input is the google voice typing!! isn't there an android keyboard for this mod? or do I have to install one from the market<-----------which will mean a lot of pain to sign into my google account then searching for a keyboard using voice typing
Update:
I was able to find an apk for a trial of swiftkeyboard, so I installed it and installed a keyboard from google play and everything is working fine.. I love this mod, it's fast and still no problems; except for video recording (which I don't use) and the voice search which recognizes the commands but does not do anything else..
You can usually use the same steps as other roms:
Make sure you have OpenRecovery. See the OpenRecovery thread with detailed instructions.
Download rom zip file and copy into /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates
Turn off device
Hold power and volume up to enter recovery. (You should see a white box with an arrow coming out of it going into a phone. If you see a yellow triangle, something went wrong.)
Go to Apply Update (use the volume keys to move up/down and camera key to select)
Pick the rom (and in this case, then pick the bootfix and gapps)
Go Back to main menu
Now do three wipes: There's three wipe options (dalvik, cache, and user data). Most mod makers recommend wiping all of these, but when you wipe user data, you lose everything you stored on the phone (but not sd card). So your game highscores, sms messages (backup app), etc...
Reboot system

The bootfix in general is a patch to be applied when a ROM was developed for one version of a model of phone, but because two phones are so similar, it can be used on other versions of the same model of phone, with a few tweaks. The bootfix performs those tweaks. If you were to have a Motoroi and you actually applied the bootfix also, I mean logically it wouldn't think it would be harmful (just redundant), but I don't know enough about how the patching process works to accurately predict that. If you did this and you were experiencing issues, back up your data and do it over, without applying the bootfix.
In specific to the XT720, there are two versions of this model: the Motoroi and the Milestone. There are ROMs that were developed for the Motoroi that actually work on the Milestone also, with a few tweaks. The bootfix patch includes those tweaks. It fixes things like rotation issues, etc. If you didn't apply the bootfix and you have a Milestone, you would absolutely run into issues. Redo it, applying the bootfix.
Scenario 1:
You want to load a ROM that was developed for Motoroi users. You have a Motoroi. You would simply install the ROM, Gapps if you wish, and do your wipes. You should be good to go.
Scenario 2:
You want to load a ROM that was developed for Motoroi users. You have a Milestone. You would intstall the ROM, Gapps if you wish, AND install the bootfix patch, then do your wipes. This would fix any incompatibility issues between Motoroi and Milestone.
All of the ROMs posted in the dev forum are very clear in instructions (and plenty of discussion afterward in replies to the thread) as to whether or not a bootfix needs to be applied. Of course, you need to determine what kind of XT720 you have, in order to make a decision as to which instructions you will follow.
That's my "non-technical" answer!
