I was a annoyed as everyone when the ICS got cancelled for the Desire HD, but i have been reading good stuff about it being available nowe via a ROM from Blackout?
The problem is, I haven't a clue how to do this (not too techy) and I was wondering if there is anywhere I can pay to get this done for me (I live in Liverpool)
Any advice or support would be greatly appreciated, perhaps some kind soul on here may offer to do it for me? (obviously I would pay!)
Just a thought
Thanks
Russ.

That is a very outdated method. The recommended way to get started with rooting, unlocking bootloader and flashing a recovery is by using the AAHK (Advanced Ace Hack Kit). Everything required can be found in the link I attached previously.

Yes, AAHK is the best, you need to gather all the needed stuffs and then just sit down letting the computer to the rest!! After you are rooted and s-offed, just download the rom and flash it from recovery!! Its easy!!

[Q] htc one root to google editon noob

Hello,
I have an htc one from o2. I want to root it to google edition. Iam a noob at this so can someone show me the way or links to a tutorial please.
Is it worth doing? whats the advantages of a rooted phone? sorry for the questions but i have come from iphone to android so iam new to all this.
thanks

My advice is keep studying, install the sdk and get good at adb and comfortable! Once you're ready and able use a guide for your phone and read it a couple times before you start. Most importantly don't stop any operations you attempt in mid stream follow through and don't reboot until you know it's all good. Hope it's as fun for you as it was for me.

thanks for that, but that means nothing to me.Whats the advantages etc. Is it worth it. i can follow tutorials etc. just need to know what the best guide is etc

If you don't know what the advantages of a rooted phone are and what root means, why are you trying to do it? To be honest I don't even understand your post - do you want to root your rom, have a rooted google edition rom or fully convert to a google edition phone?

sorry for the confusion. Like i say im new to this.
I dont know the difference, i know rooting that you can put custom roms on it, but whats the difference and best, do fully make it google edition or put a custom rom on?

First off, you don't need to be rooted to flash a custom rom - all you need is a custom recovery after you unlock your bootloader. A good guide for noobs to read is the one by mike1986 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
If I were you, I'd stick to just flashing a google edition rom to see if you like it, rather than doing a full conversion. This way you can easily get back to stock. This rom is 4.3 Google edition and already rooted:

Read the guide above carefully though. Especially the parts about backing up stock, or you'll be back here later asking for help..

[Q] Android Revolution HTC One M8 Sprint?

Has anyone had success flashing Android Revolution for the new HTC ONE M8 but it never reboots. Just jumps back to the fastboot.
It allows me to install my back up but according to the Rom, it is good for all M8's including Sprint but no such luck for me,
The install went perfect save Aroma frustration but I got thru that a couple of times , the message said it was successful but would never reboot.
Even tried to install SuperSU that I am already using but still no luck.
Anyway,
If any Sprint users have any tips, please let me know.
Thanks for your time!
Mike

Not sprint compatible as of yet to my knowledge...

If Im not mistaken it has to do with our M8 bring CDMA

Don't flash ROMs not meant for your phone. You could bork it. To my knowledge, the mount points are not the same and it's a risk flashing. Without an RUU yet, you could potentially be in some trouble if things don't go well

Thank you! I did tweet with Mike1986 when I first had trouble, I did say I was trying on Sprint since it said '" All M8 Models in his post and he did not say it was not Sprint Compatible so I assumed it was. All he asked was if I had Sprint boot.img on my phone. I am not sure what that meant and after searching the net and XDA, still don't know and said I would try other sources for help.
It does seem not seem to work on Sprint, I am almost positive I followed all of the steps, unless there is something completely different from M7 Flashing that I am not aware of. Rooting worked like a charm but as I said before, and thank fully so, after flashing, the phone reboots right back to the fastboot.
It does give you a scare at first as it goes completely dead for a few minutes but then finally shows up in Fastboot and can be wiped and the backup can be applied.
I'll keep looking around for info!
Well, enough said for sure.
Thanks all for your input!
Mike

sorry if i sounded harsh and or like a *****, but you have to read thru a thread before flashing any rom, example is like on badseed rom, i'm pretty sure the ack button doesnt work and i found that out by reading the thread, you risk bricking ur fone by blindly flashing :-/

I completely understand, although I read thru that Rom page at least 4 times before flashing and found no indication it was an International Version or as mike1986 usually says, " apart from Sprint" . Even after I spoke with mike1986, still no indication this would not work on Sprint. Hopefully others will find this thread before trying although I had really no trouble recovering from it. Lucky for that I guess. Anyway, thank you for your input as well. Have a great rest of your day!

hi,
i also tried flashing ARHD with my sprint m8. both v22 and 22.1, i also get a black screen, if i reboot, it goes straight to the bootloader.
i too, thought it would work since it says all variants, and was not specified that SPRINT is not supported. i even asked, and somebody answered that it is.
even anybody had success installing ARHD on a sprint m8, please share what you did to make it work
thanks

Compatibility is only available through 4.4.3 base or 11.X. 4.4.4 hasn't been built for Verizon or sprint yet, it's possible to boot at 4.4.4 but you'll get no signal

is this indicated in the ARHD thread? do you know if i could still download ARHD with 4.4.3 base? i want to install ARHD, need to try something
thanks

Yeah still availible via downloads and I've tested the 4.4.4 doesn't get signal even with compatible kernel

hi could you please post the link for 4.4.3? i couldnt find it in the downloads page, just ARHD 22.1 which is 4.4.4
thanks

In the HTC one m8 you'll see arhd 22.1 below it you should see arhd 11.2

Beginning to regret purchasing this phone...

Hey guys
Im sure I'm not the only one who's thinking this but I really wish I purchased the original mini. The reason for this is the only ROM at the moment for this device is CyanogenMod and nobody seems to be making one. Anybody else feel this way?
Also just in case are you involved or do you know anyone making ROMs for this phone?

Thank God that we have at least cm.... I agree with you, and since I have this phone from July, I have been asking for roms since the first day, but this device isn't so popular yet... Vi there are kernels and mods, better than nothing. This forum sometimes is dead for weeks, I wouldn't be surprised that there is no interest in development

You guys really want a custom rom ?

Absolutely.... Preferably lollipop xD

@Will972 is one of the biggest contributors, as he gave us stock roms for every update

A sense rom based on lolipop will be planed soon on 2015 .. we must first have a kernel dev for a possibility to have it earlier but we don't have it.
The only thing we can have is a custom rom with 4.4.2 base

I just miss xposed since there is no idiot rooting guide.

I will make a rom with some stuff like xposed and sense 6.0 toolbox and maybe harman kardon mod instead of boomsound

I know rooting a HTC is not as easy as rooting a Samsung but still it is not hard. The most annoying part is unlocking the bootloader, but even this is easy, but killing time. Once this is done, you need 2 files: twrp recovery

HI indy140
You are not the only one thinking this, read my Statement(s) under Johann A. Sutter in this Forum!
I have made the same experience, for some reason or another it is obviously, that it is not so interesting (or to complicated) for developers to keep them busy with this device!
Good Luck, I'm keeping myself busy, to buy another one, looking before, if there are already valuable possibilities, to be my own Boss about my property.

New to the Nexus devices. Couple questions.

Hi I just picked up my N6 for Sprint. So far just stock this thing is so smooth. I came from the Note 4. Ive never owned a nexus phone so I just wanted to ask a few questions. I see the root videos on Youtube. Because its a nexus does anyone one video work for all the carriers? After you have root and custom recovery does any ROM work with the Sprint variant of the N6. Hate to sound like a noob, but I am I guess. Thanks for the help!

Yes....any rom for any carrier. I also came from the Note 4 after a month with it and have no regrets. Development is insane [emoji6]

Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-nexus-6-one-beginners-guide-t2948481 it will walk you through unlocking, rooting, roms and recoverys. Once you have your custom recovery, like TWRP, you can make a nandroid backup. Then you can flash away and if you don't like it or have issues, you can restore from that nandroid. Welcome and good luck.

Thank you so much!

I highly commend @jackpollard that he didn't suggest using a toolkit. They're very dangerous to use in the long-run and doesn't contribute to learning a simple task to do.
Welcome to a nexus device schnergun. Ask any questions if any arise

I would use the stickied nexus everything guide as well. I was unlocked, rooted, recovery custom in like an hour after I got the phone. This thing is butter so far

Nothing wrong with toolkits
