Are you rooted ?
The simplest way is to root and get and advanced recovery like CWM.

I don't know diddly about the desire hd, but you are using an amend format, I think you need an edify format.
You can keep your system folder, but I suggest you download a newer rom and grab some files from there. You will need META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary and META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script Note the big, red "r".
Copy the binary and put it in the appropriate folder.
Your updater-script will look something like this:
Code:
ui_print("Unpacking new files...");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
ui_print("Symlinks and permissions...");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/app/contacts.apk");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/framework/framework-res.apk");
It might be different for your phone, so download some roms and have a look to see if there are any material changes.
