Before you start let me make it clear that, I don't own this device or don't have any connection with it. I put this thread only because my friend from Chandigarh, India requested me to do a guide on customizing this device. So, I collected information from members related to this device & from other forums.
The Roms listed here are not my works, so it may or may not work with your device. I tried my level best to make it as simple as it can.
ROOTING
First of all, you need to Root your device.
Use Universal Androot, you can download the software here
Use Root Explorer or any file management softwares to install.
Now download the Rom Manager and install it.
RECOVERY MENU
Next you need to Install the stock Recovery Menu.
The complete procedure as well as the required files can be downloaded here.
Just downloaded & extract the file and follow the steps.
CUSTOMIZED RECOVERY
This Recovery Menu can only install update.zip files.
So, it need to be modified to install any custom rom.
You can download the custom Recovery here
Extract the file, Use Android Download Tool provided in the package to install.
Select only the Recovery option and flash the device with it.
Now reboot into recovery you can see a new recovery menu with options to install any zip file.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR DEVICE
Currently only a few customized roms are available.
Customized CyanogenMod Rom
This Rom is tested several times and 100% working. You can download it here.
Download the rom and put it to your sdcard (Please don't extract it.)
Reboot to recovery either by Rom Manager or by Pressing & Holding both power key &Home button.
Select the option to Install zip file from sdcard, now select the option to disable signature verification.
Now select the downloaded zip file, the setup will start.
When the installation finishes, Reboot.
Now you can see your new Rom with added functions.

Please Remember, this not exactly installing apps on sd but making a symbolic link on the sd card to transfer data.
Also try the famous app2sd . You can download it here

Hi, i received HTC sense 3.0 and android 2.3.5 update. I tried to update it but it stuck on boot screen. Restarting didn't help. So I wiped all the data but later realised I no longer have clockworkmod installed.
I go to hboot and try to put recovery on sdcard through adb, but adb cant find my device.
Is there anything I can do? My phone is pretty messed up now, and I don't know what to do RUU also doesn't work, because my phone can't be found.
// #1 OK I managed to install clockworkmod through the Android Flasher. I've downloaded BeatMod BlissSense Hybrid v2.1.zip but I cant install it through the clockworkmod. It says:
"E:Error in /sdcard/BeatMod BlissSense Hybrid v2.1.zip
(Status 1)
Installation aborted."
// #2 sorry to bother.. I disabled the verification check in clockworkmod, installed su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip and then custom ROM.. everything now works fine. Of course with the help of tutorials on xda and great people over here.
This was the worst 4 hours in my live as I thought my phone is bricked.
good for u man

You don't appear alone with problem, so thanks for re-editing the thread post to provide updates, if you have the time and could try to add any URLs and links to the files that you used to resolve your issues, then that would be great!
I've already several threads where it appears the update has put others in the same position, so your update could prove to be a useful resource assisting the recovery of others!
Cheers.

Get files on the phone:

Install Root:

Toogle signature verification (disable it)
Choose zip from card and install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip

HEY FOLKS,
This THREAD will GUIDE you to flash recovery.img from PHONE.
I found many of the people found difficult to flash recovery via FASTBOOT and TERMINAL EMULATOR by using CODES.
Here is a SIMPLE method to flash recovery from phone through app.
STEPS:
1) Download recovery flasher utility.apk
download link
2) install the recovery flasher utility.apk file.
3) download your preferred recovery.img
4) copy the downloaded recovery.img file to sd-card and place it in ROOT of your sd-card (Don't keep the file inside any folder because the app may not recognize the file)
5) rename the downloaded recovery.img file as recovery.img(all in lower case)
6) Open the app and flash the recovery by pressing the "install recovery" button (Please be patient, wait for the complete flash, wait till you get the display "reboot into recovery")
7) done!!! :good: enjoy your new recovery.:victory:
(note: this method worked very well for me, app flashed recovery within 2sec, and i am not responsible if it wont work for you or anything is messed up.)
:victory: hit :good: if this guide was helpful. :highfive:
