Desire HD ROMs

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

That's what nandroids for! And, nothing will be like odin or kies, its HTC, not samsung, just read, you can revert to stock as long as you have a nandroid

CM7?
........

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
Flashing custom rom on a phone released 3 days ago...Priceless!!!

ATT update...

I have the rooted stock which comes with the bubby's GUI... a few weeks ago my phone tells me that there is an upgrade for my software and naively I download it and try to install it.. well it didn't work out of course. Now my question is: is there a stock rooted Rom up to date?
Thanks for the answers.

One of the things you lose when flashing a new ROM is the updates, but if you chose a good one that has great DEV support the updates are usually available pretty soon....you have to wait for the updates to be baked into the ROMs so just keep checking here for the updates

Stock rooted Rom with update.

I used att1n's stock rooted with side loading (flashed to rcmix 3d). He has the update installed and bloat ware removed and side loading enabled. Its a good stock rom if thats what your looking for. No bugs or issues that i could find. If your going to flash anyway check the dev section and look at some of the other roms. Plenty of sense roms if your staying stock to keep sense.

(REQ) stock tmo us 2.3.4 rooted

since there seems to be so much confusion about this update for those of us that are on stock 2.3.3 rom and are rooted and s off revolutionary , i would like to request a rooted stock version of 2.3.4 since i don't know what would happen if i try to apply this ota update with my situation. thanks

No one has it yet. Most of the people posting links to download isn't even the full ROM.

Install a custom ROM!
Stupid and useless Thread ... sry but we dont need it!

Full ROM isn't needed to make a rooted version of an update.
I've had a Nexus One and a Nexus S, they're quicker over there.

simple request, maybe its useless for you then don't read it ****...I don't want a custom one, I like stock and I'm sick of people like you on these forums that criticize people for wanting a stock rooted rom and don't want all the extra tweaks. Worry about what your running and not everyone else
@xtcislove

I will have a stock rooted rom up in a little while

thanks man!

Amen to that, about the custom ROMs...You custom ROMers are just pushing us stock ROMers further away. The only custom ROM, aside from having this one tailored to us noobs with S-oFF, CWM, and root,that I want is CM7.
Enough pushing already! We know where to go if we want a ROM. Seriously, I dont understand this peer pressure BS? Is there money involved? WTF is it? Why do people here give a crap about whether or not someone has a custom ROM over stock?

I agree. And those people pushing us to use custom roms must think that they're cool just cause they're using custom roms. Funny, when you go to the custom rom threads that they're pushing us to use, they have tons of issues and problems too! A lot more than the stock rom ones. And yet they tell you to install custom roms when you post having issues with the stock one, like they don't already have their own. I myself use custom roms every once in a while, I admit. But for reliability on the gps, camera, MMS size etc., I always go back to my nandroid backup. Custom roms are just for aesthetics and not too reliable as some of these fanatics are claiming. Also, my nandroid sensation with bloat removed is just as fast or even faster than most of these custom rom ones. And more reliable.

Best GB ROMs?

I want to go back to GB as I'm not satisfied with the ICS ROMs I've tried (only had this phone a few weeks). Dev board is flooded with ICS, any GB suggestions?

I highly reccomend Oxygen, only problem I ever had with it was sending and recieving mms. Other than that I say it is lightening fast and stable.

Were you able to fix the mms issue?

Try .CIBERGR-MOD 's GB version. It's a fast rom. Although, I'm not sure if he has a NS4G version.

Peter Alfonso's GPA19 ROM is the most stable one that I tried. Look for Peter Alfonso's site and click the Downloads link for crespo. I would post a link here, but XDA's nonsense won't allow it.
Download the 12-07-11 one to get the latest GB version. There aren't a lot of customizations like CM, Oxygen, MIUI, etc., but it's stable as hell. The latest Oxygen (2.3.2) has a REALLY obnoxious, and largely ignored, backlight notification bug where you have to reboot to get the lights to go out... only way I've ever found to fix it is to install another kernel. However, Peter Alfonso's got one of those too... just go to his site and it should be on the second page of the "blog."
I know you said you didn't like ICS, and I didn't either at first, but Pete's ICS ROMs are also great and very stable. The latest is 01-30-12, and you can get it from the same crespo download page.

question.
hey man i got a question, could i use peter alfonso's rooted stock rom for gingerbread (right?) when downgrading, right? instead of re rooting it.

Loaded up the 01-30-12 ICS this morning since that would be the easiest transition. Using Apex and so far, so good. Thanks!

I'm currently running Euroskank CM7 kangs.
Wow, really. I don't have any ICS envy seeing how sweet those kangs are. They're smooth as butter and stable too! Checking my phone, my current uptime is 132 hours (5.5 days) since my last reboot, which was to flash the latest kang back then.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Both of his ROMs are pre-rooted, so no, you won't have to re-/root anything. But since you're going from ICS to GB you'll have to wipe everything, so there's no real "downgrade" path.
From a rooting perspective, the only difference I've noticed, that's kind of annoying, is that his GB ROM contains busybox and his ICS ROM doesn't. It's not a deal-breaker since there are Market apps to add it in, but it's kind of annoying that the binary has to be re-linked after each update/flash.

Im asking that if i can reverted back to gingerbread version without loosing root, may i install his pre-rooted stock without loosing root. Thats all, but since you mentioned it, im relived to revert it back. but i couldnt find his link could you provide me one? Also is it regular to flash it back to gb or is there a special method to do it?

I can't post links yet because our fine friends at XDA say that I need to post more for the privilege. Pfft.
You should be able to type peter alfonso downloads crespo and get to the page. 12-07-11 is the latest GB version (GPA19).
There's no "special" method for flashing, just do what you would do when going from one incompatible ROM to another... wipe data/factory reset, format cache partition, format /system, wipe dalvik cache. There are probably a million different combinations that different people will give you for the proper install, but that's what I normally do.

Tryout CyberGR's CM7 MOD and you won't go back:

Just read the feedback in the thread and you'll understand.

perfect, and uh before i do that it could be any rooted gb rom right? just curious, that's all.

Don't mean to hijack the thread but what if I wanted to put a custom GB ROM on top of stock GB rom. I'm curious if you can just flash without wiping? Or should I do titanium backup instead?

gingerbread

guys im thinking of finally updating to gingerbread because some apps are requiring that os .... my questions are :
if im rooted can i still just press the update button from the notification menu?
2. should i be doing that ? a lot of posts online complain about this update so is it worth it? could i be better off flashing a gingerbread based custom rom from this website?
3. is there a backup process to make sure i can go back to froyo if the need arises?
thanks

If you are rooted you should not update the phone using the button. I don't think it will work anyways. If you want stock gingerbread there are plenty on here. In my sig, Juicy has a stable, fast, yet great on battery 2.52 Gingerbread with sense 2.5. It is version R2. There are more advanced sense 3.0 and 3.5 ROMs out there too. Both highly modified and looking like a stock ROM.

okay ... so i will just keep ignoring that button i guess...
thabks for the help

The update worked well for me and found no bugs when I did it, but It all depends on what you do with your cell. Custom Roms are all beta versions, that means that they all have bugs but most are very smooth and stable and have many tweaks to play with that you won´t find out in the stock gb update.
If you run the update, you will loose the root access, so you will have to run the hack kit again. You can also flash the rooted version of that RUU that is in the general section under the thread Stock Roms...is the Gene Pole's one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385016
Make a nandroid backup with the Rom Manager or 4EXT recovery (the one you are using) and in case you don't like the update go can restore it...hope it helps.

What I actually meant is that are not offical and bugs are solved on the run as reported by users...I have been using most of the roms in the forum and are awesome...I won´t go back to stock again again, but you have to know what you are doing and what to expect...

Actually yes. All roms posted here are considered beta. This is due to the face that every custom rom changes some coding in the OS or kernel. Only non beta roms are stock roms.

Sorry, my understanding of a beta version is one that is still undergoing testing prior to the official release. Since these ROMs will never see an official release, I don't consider the ones made off of an official RUU as beta. Just my opinion.
