Desire HD ROMs - HTC Inspire 4G

I've found that you can flash some Desire HD ROMs to the inspire if you flash a compatible kernel over top of it.
I'm currently running Android Revolution HD on my Inspire (so far the only one I've tried, I haven't had any issues yet).
Here are the steps I used to do this:
- Copy ROM and Kernel to SDCard
- reboot into recovery
- Make a nandroid backup from Clockwork Recovery (I always make a backup just in case I need to go back)
- wipe data/cache in Clockwork
- flash ROM from Clockwork
- flash kernel from Clockwork
I used a Telus Desire HD kernel I found on the forums (same as Inspire) Sound and everything works.
I'll also attach the kernel I used for everyone to try it out.
Please report and other ROMs you have success or failure with so everyone can know what works.
EDIT: This isn't really needed anymore since the new source and kernels coming out support the Inspire. Just find a ROM that has the 1.72 kernel source and flash it, it should work as is.
I'm using Revolution HD that mike1986. posted in this this forum with no issues.

does CM7 work? I am scared to mess until I get an easy way to revert to stock like odin back to stock on the captivate. If someone knows an easy fail safe measure like the download mode on the captivate I would love to know then i will try anything!

I love you <3 lmao

........

I just flashed CM7 and the telus kernel, I got stuck on HTC white screen..hmm!!

Tony710 - genius move, buddy. I have had my goldcard ready, but have been waiting for this ROM to become available ( heard this is so much faster and more power efficient than stock).
Needless to say, i'll be rooting and flashing this tomorrow.
Thanks again.

Not cyanogen. Goto HTC Desire HD Development forum, and grab the Android Revolution ROM.

Flashed leedroid v.2 with the telus rom and it works just fine. kinda wish i had the leedroid rom because it had a %20 vol increase. but i now have a 1.22ghz OC!!!!! Can anyone make a increased volume kernel. i've noticed that ours is blocked to 73% of the maxium

HTC Inspire...check
ROOT...check
CWM...check

[KERNEL] Stock Inspire 4G Kernel

Here's the stock Inspire 4G Kernel You can flash any DesireHD ROM, then flash this on top of the ROM to enable audio.
Basically, I just took the Telus kernel that's floating around here, and replaced the bcm4329.ko and boot.img with the ones from the stock ROM.
Happy flashing!
This is flashable with any desire hd? Does it have clean sound?

You should be able to flash this kernel with any DesireHD ROM. The sound quality is almost the same as the Telus kernel from what I remember.
I think the main problem with sound quality is compatibility between the ROM and the Kernel. Something is missing in the DHD ROMs that slightly degrades sound quality when used on an Inspire 4G. Hopefully someone figures this out soon
Oh ok. So what is gained from this kernel over the TELUS?

Honestly, I have no clue. Some people have said the Telus kernel is unstable for one reason or another so I figured why not just rip the kernel out of the stock ROM It might or might not be more stable
I haven't noticed any instability.

[Q] How to install Cyanogenmod7 on inspire 4g

sorry if there is an exact thread just like this, imagine there is but i wasnt able to find it. i just got my inspire today im familiar with android phones but i know the phone just came out so im wondering if someone can walk me through this, from what i understand ill need to root, flash the cyanogen7 rom then flash a kernel that will allow me to have sound. i was wondering which kernel i would need and what is the easiest root method currently available. thanks for the help guys!!
edit: there is no modified version of this with a different kernel that will allow us to flash the inspire kernel and make sound work??

There is not a CM7 for the Inspire yet. I can't wait until there is tho, I'm not a fan of Sense... but making due for right now.

i thought you could install any desire hd rom, there is a cyanogen7 rom for the hd right here. and just flash a kernel over it to get the audio working. or am i wrong?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917271
cyanogenmod has its own kernel that's made specifically for AOSP. A normal sense kernel will definitely not work for it. It is cool though, I flashed it for a few minutes and it's wayyyy quick with the 1.51ghz kernel they have on there, too bad we don't have source to get sound yet
Yeah just played around with it. Superfast. Love all the gingerbread stuff too. Tried fladhing those kernels the phone wont boot
bump, i see people posting modified versions of cm7 for dhd do they have different kernels that would allow the sound to work on our inspires?

Just rooted to Leedroid... phone call sound quality is bad

If I make a phone call or receive one, the quality is very poor, stock was amazing. Is there a fix for this? What about gingerbread... is it better?
Sorry, btw it's leedroid 3.0.3
I'm trying to google the hell out of this solution but to no avail. if anyone has a clue or know's, could you please help me out. thanks

I understand, but you asked if gingerbread is better.
There are many versions of gingerbread and one of them is leedroid ROM.
Try a different ROM that has GB in the title of the thread in the DEVs section.
If not flash the ruu for stock that gives u stock sense and 2.2.1 yet rooted. So you can flash another rom at anytime

Flash This
Should Fix this issue
Keep the audio fix on your SD Card. I've been using the same CM7 desire to inspire audio fix for all the euro DHD ROMs and haven't had any issues, all great results actually. currently running TB Fusion 0.4 with LeeDroid kernel 3.0.4 no issues.
Best of luck, cheers!

[Q] Please help im new and stuck! evo shift 4 g

Hi Everyone. I am trying to larn all this rooting and flashing thing! I have a rooted HTC Evo 4G. The Rom I am using is MIUI android 2.3.5 the kernel is 2.6.35.13-cyanogenmod. First off I need to know if this is the right rom to be using, I have a couple issues. One is that i dont have 4g anymore. Two is that my phone no longer works with my bluetooth in my car. Before it was rooted my phone hooked up to the car with no issues.
Most important like i said im tryng to learn, I had my phone rooted by someone else and have no idea how to flash a new rom or what I need to do so. So if someone could help me answer these questions and maybe direct me to where ever I need to go to learn, like flashing new rom for dummies! Thanks!!!
The reason your 4G isn't working is because it's not supported on MIUI. The ROM may be causing your bluetooth issue as well.
I can't really say if it's the right or wrong ROM, it's all about personal preference. You should probably look through the development section and see what ROM would best fit you. Also, there's several other threads on this section with people giving reviews/opinions of different ROMs..

idk too much about miui because I dont use it.
MIUI does not support 4G as of yet (and may not ever) thats just something you lose.
As for the other issues I really don't know and can't help you with
To flash a new ROM you have to do these steps.
Download the ROM of choice
Put it on your SD Card (anywhere)
On your phone turn it completley off and hold down the "Volume Down & Power" at the same time
*From this point you use the volume keys to scroll up and down and power to select options*
Go to recovery and select it
once in recovery (you will be able to tell) go down to factory/data reset and click ok
Once that is finished go to wipe cache and select it
Once that is finished go to -advanced- then wipe dalvik cache and select it
once that is done go to "install zip from sd card"
then go to "choose zip from sd card"
find the ROM you downloaded and select it and flash.
Depending on the ROM it will take from 1-5 minutes to complete flashing. Once done just go to reboot at the top
It is also recommended to do the "wiping" steps 2-3 times (steps 7-9)

thank you for your help. I have been reading and reading and I have a better idea as to what i need to do. Im in the process of downloading Mikshifted v1.6. I did not see anything about weather it supports bluetooth or 4g, do you have a suggestion as to what rom does if this does not? And do i need a different Kernnal?
Thank you!
MikShifted G v1.6 is fully functioning. Everything works, 4G, Bluetooth, WiFi, WiFi Tethering, USB Tethering, everything works. Plus it has a lot of extras. One thing I will say it cannot at the present time be OC'd. No you do not need to flash a different kernel with it. Believe me when I tell you it does not need it.

Everything should be working with MikShifted ROMs, as far as I know. Also, there's no custom kernels for Gingerbread Sense ROMs until htc releases the source code.

Oc'd is just short for overclocked. Basically, until htc releases the source you can't use any overclocked kernels so you'll have to run at 800mhz, but MikG is surprisingly quick for running stock

You can oc (overclock) up to 2.0ghz (depending upon kernel and phone) with an AOSP ROM (no sense). Its all about personal preference.

Very true . Thanks to all the great Devs on the Shift community we have choices to suit our personal preferences .
another issue for the newbie!
I recently flashed the mik rom v1.6 and loved it everything went smoothly until i realized I am not getting any text messages. and before i go back to the miui rom I was using i figured I would ask if anyone else had this issue?
Thanks
I did switch the rom and still have the same issue any suggestions?
My personal preference for ROM is CyanogenMod (CM). It has everything a person can need and more, but its not noob friendly by any means (I learned that the hard way! Muchos thanks to Root Master Crump for taking me off the straight and narrow!). I've tried a few other ROMs and its really all about personal preference, as others have said. I like being able to customize out the wazzoo, but if you're looking for speed/performance and ease of use, Mik is very solid.

You could try updating your prl and see if that helps.I think it's probably an issue with Sprint and not the ROM though. Maybe post something in the MikG thread and see if others are having issues.
I have talked to sprint and its not on their end. I have doing alot of reading and not on answer on how to get my texting back. I tried going back to mIui and still not texts coming in. Im lost any ideas out there?
You need to update your PRL and Profile. Then reboot the phone, but you have to be on Sense to do that. Also, as soon as you finish the flashing process. Send yourself an SMS/MMS. Before you start loading things onto the phone. That way it will help you narrow down the issue. So your sure it's not something your loading on the phone causing the issue.

Bell Htc Sensatation which Rom can I use??

I have rooted my phone, but have a few questions. If I do a rom backup using clockworkmod will i be able to re-install original rom with this if I don't like the rom I get? Will android revolution HD rom work on Bell sensation? Please if someone has done it let me know. Thanks
Yes and yes.
I have a Bell Sensation and am currently on Android Revolution HD 4.1.3. Its running smoothly and works perfectly for me.

Yes, you can flash to any ROM you want if your phone is rooted, regardless of your wireless carrier. However, you should be aware that rooting your phone voids your warranty. Moving on...
I use LeeDroid's ROM, which is based on Sense. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181137. I use a Sensation kernel by Faux123 with it, and my phone really flies. If you wanna check out that kernel, when you check out that thread, just find a post by Faux123 and look in his signature under projects for the link to his Sensation kernel thread.
Yes, you can go back to the original ROM (or any other custom ROM for the Sensation), but you'll want to track down the stock Sense ROM from HTC (.zip file) first, to save yourself some headache later if you do decide you like stock better. I don't have a URL for the stock Sense ROM, but you should be able to track it down on here fairly easily.
You can flash the new ROM with clockwork mod by using ROM Manager, or without RM, you can boot your phone into recovery by doing a battery pull then holding the volume rocker *down* while simultaneously holding the power button.
Good luck! Let me know what you think of the ROM and/or kernel if you decide to give them a try.
Cheers,
Tom

Thank you both...so I did install Android revolution the latest version 3.6.2 and so far i love it. Took me about 3 hours to set up all my screens the same way and settings. Love the rom and now i have gtalk video! Sense is a flash no more lag wow...i'm impressed was thinking of changing to the new Htc Amaze but I think this will be a keeper for a while longer now! Thanks for the info.
You may find it helpful to play around with different roms and see which one you like best. There are several to choose from and they offer slightly different experiences.

I used link below. I also viewed some youtube videos its basically all the same for all htc sensation phones. Just follow them carefully and make sure you do it step by step. And before you install a new rom make sure you do a back up of your Bell one. Took me about 30min slowly but surely. Good luck, if I get a chance later on I'll post some links to the videos that helped me.
