Whoa! Slow down Brolly007. You've come to the right place to get all of that information, but you're going to have to do a lot of searching/reading and work out exactly what you want? I've had my HD2 since Aug and I'm still using a stock ROM. My advice would be to start slowly?
I expected some help from u ..! my htc showing up some bugs and glitchs...!
you can flash the latest rom from official htc website.........3.14 rom with radio 2.15......then download android onto your sd card and enjoy both latest windows stock rom and latest android too

pakure trying to tell you to put a htc stock ROM on your phone. All the information you need is here: http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=all
Look at the how to tab for detailed instructions?
there is no 3.14.415.x stock rom available fore the moment, so this will not help the OP!
you can do two thing sir,
Firstly (the easiest way) is to do a Hard reset. (but this means you will stay at the older builds, but you start with a cleaner device.
Secondly you can try to install Custom Rom,
maybe this video clip can help you.
But first let me say to go on the Rom thread and read the sticky threads. And when you have made your decision witch on you will install read carefully and follow the builders instruction on the way of install. (Ps, there is no Good/bad custom rom, all depend of your needs/taste)
ty bro i admire your effort ..but i hav seen this video ...all i now want to know dat y am i geting a connection error...! installin custom rom or radio..!
did you install HSPL before trying to flash the custom rom?
And deactivated your AntiVirus software temporary.
This gifs me trouble sometimes.

Multi Boot/Custom ROMs - Advanced users only plz

Hi All,
I searched the forums and though this question has been asked couple of times, I failed to get a satisfying and consolidated answer, so seeking a solution here.
Scenario: X10i, 2.3.3 Stock, rooted using aZuZu. Self-customized framework-res.apk and SemcUxpRes.apk and a truckload of apps. Poor battery life, slightly laggy.
I am equally drawn towards CM7 as well as Wolfbreak 4. I know that both are completely different flavours, but much as I love the Cyanogen innovations, so do i love the tweaks done in WB's ROM with minimal changes to the UI.
Questions:
When I backup my current ROM using xrecovery, what all elements get backed up? More precisely, if I make a backup of my stock ROM using xRecovery, will it backup all the installed apps, conntacts, messages and appdata?
If I restore this backup at a later date, will I be able to get back my phone in the same state as it was backed up? (e.g. I am on level 14 on angrybirds and I made a backup, wiped my phone, and then restored the backup, will I have to start Angrybirds afresh or I can continue from where I left off, as though nothing had happened?)
Is it possible to have multiboot on the X10? So that Everytime I boot up, I can choose whether I want to load the CM7 ROM or the WB4 ROM?
Thanks in advance.
1 yes, the things you mentioned will be backed up (but not the baseband & the kernel)
2 yes, you can play angry birds from where you left off (but as I said you can't backup/restore baseband & kernel)
3 no, not yet. Before official gb there was a solution for dual booting a 2.1 rom with a 2.2/2.3 rom, but I believe dual booting two 2.3 roms is not possible for now

Thanks for that! Just a couple of doubts here:
As you mentioned, the BB and kernel wont be backed up. How exactly will that affect my device? Will it lead to any compatibility issues if I restore to a backed up ROM?
Do I need to keep a note of the Baseband and Kernel versions of all the ROMS which I intend to flash, and flash the corresponding bb & kernel versions prior to recovering a backed-up ROM? To be more clear, supposing I am on bb .71 and kernel 2.6.29, and I flash a new ROM with a different kernel. If I wish to go back to stock by recovering my backup, will I have to flash the bb .71 and 2.6.29 kernel again?
I noticed Woflbreak's ROM uses kernel version 2.3, but I am on a different kernel version (2.6.29). Do I need to downgrade to 2.3 kernel before using the WB ROM? Won't an older version of the kernel cause a drop in performance?
well to sum it up yes you need to keep a note of kernel & baseband for avoiding any compability issue, the kernel part is pretty easy, 2.1 roms all use the same kernel & 2.3 roms another kernel, If you want to go from a 2.1 rom to a 2.3 rom you need to flash the appropriate kernel (& the baseband) with flashtools, but switching from a 2.1 rom to another 2.1 rom or from a 2.3 rom to a 2.3 rom shouldn't be a problem kernel-wise, you just need to pay attention to the required baseband & flash the right one if necessary
what rom are you on?
& by the way 2.3 on Wolfbreak is not the kernel, it's the android version
the bb and kernel are in a 7zip archive linked on the page for wolfs 4.0 along with the newest patch. it explains how to do it all on the page. You must take into consideration when trying a new rom the basebands that it is made for.
Basebands can be found here.
Most newer roms will tell you in the post which baseband you need.
Also see if users post other working baseband versions along with kernel versions. how to use a custom kernel with it and a post explaining custom kernels is here.

[Q] OTA Xperia Sola Ste Cyanogenmod query

First of all , Thanks to Devs for such a beautiful & reliable working Kitkat ROM for Xperia Sola.
Anyhow , i am currently on ROM] [UB] [XperiaSTE] CyanogenMod 11 Build 4 .
Now , Build 5 is out & available to download .
as i just installed the ROM few days ago , and customised settings according to me.
I just want to know , the instructions for Updating to Build 5 , by manually flashing the .ZIP file via CWM recovery and will it interfere with my existing ROM & user apps too, if YES , then in what way?
Also Guide me on how to update to build 5 without causing any problems, basically i just want to avoid going through the whole drill of installing ROM again.
also if i do it Over OTA , via my phone , then will it again cause any problems with my existing ROM.
Thanks, could,ve posted in the Specific Rom's Thread, but i guess i don't haveenough privileges for now:crying::silly:
