[ROM] DHD Hutchison-Three-Network Australia Stock Branded Rom 1.32.861.5

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.

yep leedroid 1.2, 1.3, 1.3a and just now 1.4.
I am on 3 network also.
A couple of family have DHD from 3 with stock roms and they are shockingly slow.

Hey guys i am in need of help. I am getting terrible battery life with cm7 because every radio i try gives me bad reception for wifi and singal causing a greater battery drain could anyone recommend the best radio for cm7 gingerbread?
By the way my location is Australia Victoria if that is any help. Thanks in advance

Please help solve software issues w/ Captivate i896. Advice on installing custom ROMS

Hello everybody,
I´ve got a Rogers Captivate i896 with Firmware version 2.2 (stock Rogers firmware(Canada), flashed 1 year ago, upgrading from 2.1 stock)
Kernel version 2.6.32.9
Modem version UXJL1
Rooted, unlocked and 1 click Lagfix
I´m on Rogers network.
Problems:
1) Many applications stop working once updated. IM+ version 4.xx works, anything higher crashes on start. Same story happens with LOTS of apps from Playstore, so I´m forced to be careful when updating apps. This is becoming super-annoying.
2)Recently, installed DROIDVPN and TUN.KO installer to use Dell voice on an Unlimited Mobile Browsing plan(crippled data for WAP browsing). It worked beautifully for 1 day, now starting DROIDVPN or TUN.KO makes the phone restart.
3)I´d like to get rid of built-in garbage, most of which I do not use, to have more control over running apps, especially those that hang themselves into start-up.
4) I´d like to get better battery life. I use my phone more and more, I´ve got 2 batteries and and external charger, and yet i sometimes have trouble getting to the end of the day without my phone dying/I]
Solutions.
I imagine that the only explanation for apps that simply refuse to work is that they are designed for newer Android systems. This happened with Skype that didn´t work with Eclair, but does work with 2.2.
Should I upgrade to ICS?
I have some experience flashing, yet I´m far from an expert. What´s the most fail-safe plan of actions? Would the following work:
1)Backup everything using TitaniumBackup
2)Install custom bootloader that would allow me to flash install.zip from external SD card
3)Choose a custom ROM based on user feedbacks, like Cyanogen MOD.
4)Restore all the apps
5)Experiment with different modem firmware to see which gives me best performance
I no longer have time to tinker around in the dark, so I´d like to have a plan before I get started. Any input on the possible solutions to the problems I´m experiencing?
Thank you in advance.

Modems for specific region:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227717
Just a question: why haven't you upgraded to Rogers official GB?
And BTW, ICS is a massive improvement over 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3.
I have a great experience with this ICS Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522881
But there are others that are just as good I'm sure.

My 2 cents:
Stay away from ICS. It has the ability to damage your SD card.
Use this post to upgrade to gingerbread. Then use the utility in my signature to get root and cwm. Then choose a GB based ROM that suits your needs. May I suggest Legend?

¨Use this post to upgrade to gingerbread. Then use the utility in my signature to get root and cwm¨
Wouldn´t it be wiser to get clockwork mod before any upgrading just in case things go bad? I vaguely remember using clockworkmod last time I dealt with flashing, isn´t it a loader that allows you to load install.zip from SD card? Or would flashing a new system wipe out the mod as well?
How exactly can ICS damage SD card. Are you talking about the external SD or the built-in SD storage in the phone?
I´ve read partially the threads on Legend and Android Open Kang Project - captivatemtd - Milestone 6. Both sound pretty good. As far as you guys know, which rom is known to give best battery life?

If you're going to upgrade to a custom rom that is Gingerbread or Higher, you will need the Gingerbread bootloaders. That is why I say to go to stock Gingerbread first.
ICS can cause the Encryption Unsuccessful bug as seen here. It will cause you to lose all access to the built-in SD storage. It doesn't happen to everyone, but when it does, you'll wish you had heeded my advice.

Options for Verizon 3G Xoom

I just ordered a recertified Verizon 3G Xoom, and I didn't think about the implications of it being a Verizon device. This is NOT upgraded to 4G LTE -- will the "Stingray" builds of the various ROMS still work? Is there any way to apply WIFI-only ROMS (including stock) if I don't care about the 3G working? Given the age of the device I really want to get Jelly Bean on it.
I will need to cancel this order ASAP if the answers to these questions turn out to be "no"...

Same question from me.
Can we install the WiFi only version of ROMs (CM9 in particular) onto a Verizon 3G Xoom and have it work for everything EXCEPT the 3g? I could honestly care less about ever activating it on Verizonas long as WIFI works.

From reading a bit in the Development sub-forum, it looks like there's a JB leak for the VZW version, and either version (WIFI Only or VZW) of the EOS 3 ROM should work. I think I will keep my order.

Thanks. I'm placing my order as soon as Wife says OK. If you don't mind, and if you remember, please send me a PM of how it goes with the flashing once to get yours.
Would love to coordinate what we do since there doesn;t seem like a whole lot of certainty exists about what we are trying to do.

I'm probably just going to flash the EOS 3 WIFI Only version. According to one of the devs, it should work fine:

But I will try to remember to let you know how it goes.

Any luck? I also have a Xoom 3G MZ600 on the way and could careless about 3G...

hasnt eos got jellybean roms for all versions of the xoom? 3g should work imo
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

I'm in the same boat and curious to see if anybody has any words of wisdom. I love my refurbed Xoom 3G but am eager to get JB on it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

FWIW everything I have heard/read seems to indicate that it is possible to flash WiFi only ROMs on the 3G Xoom, and apparently everything will work fine except for the 3G (naturally). I haven't taken the plunge yet myself, still running stock ICS.
Is there any word on whether the Verizon 3G Xoom will get Jelly Bean?

It can be done....
I purchased a used 3g Xoom around Apr 2012. After initially unlocking / rooting and installing a ROM (EOS) on my 3g Xoom, the 3G radio wasn't working so I started fresh. I locked the device and SBF'd the original Xoom firmware, then used the official over the air (OTA) upgrades to get back to stock ICS. I thought this might fix the 3g issue; it did nothing.
EOS Roms overclock the GPU by default, which caused problems with my (and my wife's Wifi version) Xoom. My only requirements for a ROM are stability, no clutter from dumb carrier installed applications, compatibility, and of course root access. I found a pre-rooted stock Jellybean rom, but it was for the Wifi Xoom. It worked great on my wife's though; and heard rumors that it could work with mine.
*SO*...I took a leap of faith and installed it. It works great. No 3g radio of course, but I gave up on trying to get that to work anyway...so if you don't care about losing your 3g , this will probably work for you. I don't think my 3g will ever work, but I suspect this won't ruin yours if it is currently working. Don't hold me to that; this is a risk.
Random notes and refresher info:
-you will need an SD card. I'm pretty sure the following instructions will only work if you use one.
-If at any point you get the android guy with an orange exclamation point during boot...it is probably ok, just let it sit there for a couple minutes. it should continue to boot into whatever ROM you are currently on. Make sure you enable usb debugging in settings after boot.
-to access RSD, Recovery, or Fastboot mode, press and hold your power button to start the Xoom booting. When you see the Motorola logo, wait a second then press the volume down button. Then you can use volume down again to cycle through your options, and use volume up to choose one.
-the exact differences between RSD / Fastboot and Recovery modes are beyond the scope of this post (and me) so just know that your Xoom can be modified using software on your PC via USB with RSD and Fastboot modes, and stock recovery can be replaced with modified versions to add more functionality. Recovery is used to do all sorts of things...flash Roms, mount drives, format, cleanup caches, etc.
***
General instructions. Just guidelines; you will probably need some previous experience with computers / rooting etc.
(If you are already unlocked, rooted, and have a replacement recovery, skip to the last step.)
1.) Follow this guide to prep your Xoom: (unlocking, rooting, and install CWM recovery)
http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-development/15179-how-rookie-rooting-flashing-unrooting-under-one-roof.html
Note: you may have heard of Lord AOI tool; it is supposedly designed to simply the above process. I found it didn't work well and was more difficult to use than good ol' adb commands. I recommend skipping it.
2.) OPTIONAL: Next, I recommend using the latest Rogue recovery. Just use standard CWM recovery to flash it. It is nice because it allows you to use the touchscreen to manipulate instead of having to use the hardware buttons (volume buttons are kind of a pain). See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235170
3.) Finally, flash the pre-rooted stock Jellybean ROM. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796335

Broken cellular radios and OC'd GPUs

Hi,
I bought a used 3G Verizon Xoom a few months ago. Now, I don't know if I somehow ruined the cellular hardware and / or firmware (or if it came that way), but the 3G radio does not work properly. Android reports 'Network: Unknown / Mobile Network Type: Unknown / Service State: Out of Service' etc. Verizon says the MEID is clean.
This is not a huge deal, as I didn't plan to activate it on Verizon's network. (of course, I would prefer that the radio worked so I had the option, but oh well)
Moving on...I have tried Team EOS Jellybean ROMS for both myself and my wife (Wifi only Xoom) and had bad luck while playing video on both devices; I suspect due to overclocked GPU.
She is currently running a pre-rooted stock Jellybean that operates perfectly.
But, that leaves me hanging. Here are my most basic needs; leaving out food, shelter and beer:
1.) a rooted ROM, preferable Jellybean...and absolutely not overclocked. Especially GPU.
2.) I don't care if the ROM doesn't support the 3g radio, as the hardware doesn't seem to function anyway
3.) would love a stock ROM but without the Verizon / Moto crapware. The cleaner the better
Does such a ROM exist? Can I use the one I found for her WiFi Xoom and install it with no ill effects? It has some mild crapware, but if that is my only option....
I'm currently running stock non-rooted ICS 4.0.4. Last week I rebuilt the tablet up from ground up to see if it would restore the 3g radio, but no luck.
Thanks for anyone taking the time to read and respond.
-greg

It can be done....
No one bothered to reply, so I will reply to myself to hopefully help others in this situation:

Success: G900F rom on G900V S5

Hi!
First I want to thank the developers and Goldie and Hashcode. I could not thank us topics because I am newbie here.
My wife bought a Galaxy S5 of a person who did not disclose that it was the 900V version, and only possessed a few languages.
Tried my best to translate or to enable more languages​​, all without success.
I managed to do the following to resolve the problem, and it can serve other people from other languages ​​that are at hand with this device, since the installed rom (AllianceRom) has support for multiple languages​​. The phone now appears like a 900F.
1) I root with https://towelroot.com/ towelroot
2) I copied this file from AllianceRom to the microSD card. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716535
3) I installed the following safestrap this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793891
4) I enabled a custom rom 1 using the default options.
5) I installed the rom usually at recovery.
6) I waited a few minutes, booted, and FINALLY got to choose the option Brazilian Portuguese.
caveats:
Do not know if it's bug or something the ROM installing a rom that is not the phone itself, but the device does not turn off. He gets the LED on the physical and lighted keys and switches itself off. I have to take off and put the battery back.
If I had to fix something, which will not do out of sheer laziness, would change the standard sizes of custom rom, because I never want to see the original rom from Verizon. The custom rom ended up with little virtual space.
Sorry for the english but blame Google Translator!

Alright so I thought I would shed a little light on this. I saw this thread a few days ago and decided to test this for myself. I have a verizon version of the S5 and the 900f version of the rom installed fine in the stock rom slot. The only issue at first was the keyboard was chinese. I had to activate the English one and things were fine. All the customization stuff works. I've basically tested everything and have been using it constantly for a few days now. So it does work. I haven't tried any other 900f roms yet.

I think it's the the phones themselves. I have tried many custom roms and they all have worked but when I us a rom slot that isn't stock my g900v won't shut off either and I have to take the battery out. I even put a non rooted rom on every rom slot and none would shutoff other than stock slot.

Hi!
First I want to thank the developers and Goldie and Hashcode. I could not thank us topics because I am newbie here.
My wife bought a Galaxy S5 of a person who did not disclose that it was the 900V version, and only possessed a few languages.
Tried my best to translate or to enable more languages​​, all without success.
I managed to do the following to resolve the problem, and it can serve other people from other languages ​​that are at hand with this device, since the installed rom (AllianceRom) has support for multiple languages​​. The phone now appears like a 900F.
1) I root with https://towelroot.com/ towelroot
2) I copied this file from AllianceRom to the microSD card. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716535
3) I installed the following safestrap this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793891
4) I enabled a custom rom 1 using the default options.
5) I installed the rom usually at recovery.
6) I waited a few minutes, booted, and FINALLY got to choose the option Brazilian Portuguese.
caveats:
Do not know if it's bug or something the ROM installing a rom that is not the phone itself, but the device does not turn off. He gets the LED on the physical and lighted keys and switches itself off. I have to take off and put the battery back.
If I had to fix something, which will not do out of sheer laziness, would change the standard sizes of custom rom, because I never want to see the original rom from Verizon. The custom rom ended up with little virtual space.
Sorry for the english but blame Google Translator!

G900TUVU1DOB1 ROM on G900V
I switched to T-Mobile from Verizon a couple months ago and kept my G900V to use on the T-Mobile network. I kept having apn issues with the Verizon (KK and 5.0) based rom and decided to flash in recovery the Beanstown 4.4.2 G900T rom and had great success . If you want KK I can confirm that both Beanstown 4.4.2 G900T and G900F roms work on the G900V kernal if installed on recovery (wipe everything first). I now am using [ROM]ViSiON-X US TMO[Android L 5.0][G900TUVU1DOB1][02-18-15] rom flashed by the installation method for the Verizon Lollipop to Keep Root. Steps are full wipe in recovery, flash rom in recovery (CANNOT, I REPEAT CANNOT HAVE AROMA), flash Verizon OA8 5.0 with Odin, boot 10 min wait... I believe any stock lollipop rom can be flashed, probably anything without Aroma... I have working Wifi-Calling feature, working Volte, everything works but no Wanam yet bummer...

This is excellent.
Question: Were you on 4.4.4 when you installed AllianceROM?, because it now has the 5.0 version, so I am wondering if i should update to stock 5.0 first and then use your method?, or maybe on 5.0 the method won't work? (towelroot, safestrap)
Thanks
Update:
I went back to 4.4.4, rooted, flashed the rooted Lollipop, but now safestrap won't load because it's Kitkat safestrap, so I can't manage to flash Alliance, any solution?

Flash the 4.4.2 stock kernel in Odin. Safestrap only works on kk kernel, then flash back to 5.0. Same instructions used in the forum to upgrade to Verizon 5.0, you just need to switch back and forth with the Verizon version of kk and lollipop kernels through Odin to access Safestrap.
Edit: Flash the visionx tmobile rom, it's amazing.

Do tell. I have been looking for instructions for putting a t-mobile rom on my G900V
Please share.
Also, does the wifi calling feature now show up?
Cheers!

It just need to be done with safestrap recovery (You can not use Odin)
As always make a full backup up of your current rom before flashing anything. Wipe the system, data and cache and flash away. I've flashed g900t, g900f and i think some g900a Roms work as well... Can't remember. You will probably have issues if you still have a Verizon Sim card. And yes, WiFi calling will be there

Safstrap wont let me flash the ROM - it says its a mismatch and errors out.
Am I missing a step?

Try a different ROM I've always used the ones that say stock. When I get home I'll tell you the exact one I used. If that doesn't work try a different safestrap
