You cant install coustom roms without root as far as I know
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
Yeah without root u can't access or write to system partition as far as I know. U can install cwm though interestingly enough which I didn't know (I did it yesterday to my mates gt-s6500) then rooted from there. So who knows wait for someone with bit more experience to give u definitive answer but if u can, I never seen it and I used fair few devices.why u not want to root anyway?

Like this, there are many threads. There is even one where a member posted step by step.
But if you thinks it's difficult, perhaps you should not try it.

To be honest: "Custom Rom (which includes rooting)" and "noob" isn't a good match.
But make a test of your own: Read this and if you think you understand what you are going to do - do it. If not .... I think you know the answer.
Good luck.
Ok will work on when I will get up from my bed

I too am a noob to this but have managed to root and install a custom Rom and return my DHD back to stock. Best advice I can give from my experience is to google AAHK (I believe it has been removed from here) and read the effin manual enclosed within the zip file. It's one click and it will wipe and root your device. You can then install a custom Rom stored on Ur SD card through the Menu (HBOOT I believe). I know I don't have many posts on here but that's due to A LOT of time spent reading threads and then giving it a go. If you get stuck, I'm sure any questions you have have been asked here before

Ditto.
Search google for 'attn1 advanced ace hack kit'. Read his entire post, read the effn manual (inside the AAHK), read it again, then quiz yourself. Search youtube for other people using it, to give you an idea of how it should go. Search youtube for how to flash a custom ROM too. You'll figure it out.
If anything does go wrong, don't freak out, and come here for help.
Am a noob... rooted my phone two weeks ago and installed Android Revolution HD 6.3.3. Also tried out CM 7.2.
Rooting with AAHK is pretty easy, though the manual is not as clear as it could be. Download the Kit, read the manual and will be happy to help you with the parts which are not clear. It is still fresh in my mind.

Rooting the Desire HD was probably the easiest root I've had to do. I blindly tried to root my father's Galaxy S II and installed the wrong kind of firmware and it was a mess, DHD has a simple program which you can even root with, one click and reading the EFFN MANUAL is all it takes.

Easy? It is totaly insane! So many things to go wrong, first they don't recommend windows, you have to get Ubuntu, find your way in ubuntu (how do they say prompt in Linux? Ahhh, console? No, TERMINAL!) Then it is pretty easy, just one line downloads root and runs it, but I still prefer the method I used to root my wife's Galaxy Ace. Just copy a zip onto a SD card and boot in recovery and apply update from SD card. No need to connect it to the PC, worry about stupid windows USB drivers etc.
But it works and that is important. The manual is makig things more complicated than they need to be. Only once you do it you realize that if is not so complex as manual wants you to believe
cheers,

Downgraded it with hack kit , can't root because of sd card

I'm sorry but are you telling me you installed a completely new OS onto your computer for rooting your DHD? It works in Windows easily, Macs too I think.

Really? Oh dear, installing a new OS definetly doesn`t make sense for just installing another rom on a stock dhd.
Reading guide, doing whats written there ................. aaaaaaaaand it´s done.
Changing/Messing with the OS on an expensive device is not something you should do unless you understand what your doing. This is a Development site. Now a rom flashing site. Being a noob is no excuse for not following the forum rules. We were all noobs at one time or another.
You search, you read, you read some more, and then as your done reading.........you read a little bit more. Then you go about rooting and flashing the phone. When/If you run into issues, guess what you do. You repeat the above and search and read. Then if your still stuck and there are no threads about your issue and you followed ALL the directions that you could find, then you open a thread and ask for help.

I would just flash the powerwashed rom...its already rooted. Read the guide I posted in the q/a section.
If you only want root then type " how to root froyo or gingerbread on fascinate" in google as previously mentioned.
+1 for the power washed rom
Droidstyle posted the "STEP BY STEP " guide, and works FLAWLESSLY , you cant go wrong. very easy to follow.

Yep, google must be broken again and atm I don't have any clean silverware to spoon feed you with. So, it looks like you're gonna have to learn like everyone else. And if worse comes to worse, just throw away your phone and get a bionic, development won't even be an issue with it. Good luck

Come on dude you've been here since almost the beginning and you can't use SuperOneClick?
You literally open it, plug your phone in, and hit root...
Or you could be a little more specific to your problem other than "it just doesn't work"
Come on man you did it once before(obviously) xP

Hi all. I have searched and searched the forum and been reading numerious posts over the last few weeks and have ended up more confused than ever.
I am fed up with the standard froyo on my uk vodafone defy and want something better. I read good things about cm7 and would like to give it a try, however I am not very technical when it comes to such things, I have found various guides all of which differ, the main cm7 thread on here does not seem to lead me to a download link.
Can anyone help?? idiots guide maybe......
what cm7 do I download and where and how to install.
I really have tried to understand some of the posts but will admit to some of it going straight over my head.
regards
Mark
Is your phone rooted already? If so, do you have Clockwork Mod recovery? If not, you have to have that done before flashing a new ROM. If you do a search for the Defy youll find info on how to perform these operations... Cheers

Hi there! Please watch carefully this video :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xSIEx7kiXU
As a suggestion, make sure you have your battery over 80% before starting the process and download all these and put them on your SD Card :
Download SuperOneClick to root here: http://goo.gl/xk0AH
Defy Sndinit apk: http://goo.gl/5P89P
Download the ROM itself: http://goo.gl/XyfLE
Download the Google Apps: http://goo.gl/KMFhq
Oh, and don't forget to install all defy drivers on your PC BEFORE! Good luck !
Hey!
Some months back I wiped my HTC Desire HD clean of the HTC software that came with it and installed a custom ROM - I believe it's called Icecold Sandwich. But poor judgment and me not thinking things through has led to a rather awkward situation for me.
The phone was one that I had borrowed from my sister... Which she had borrowed from her work. And now I need to get the original software back onto the phone!
But is there any chance that this can be done?
I tried downloading a Kernel from htcdev but once I try to install the Kernel the installation is instantly aborted by the phone. So I'm all out of ideas.
But is there any way it can be done? Or am I just royally screwed?
Sincerely
Hailen.

First before thread is closed Use search – you'll find a lot of threads about restoring phone to stock.
Get the original RUU (ROM Utililty Updater). How? As callmemycool said above, search the DHD forums and you will find the complete instructions on how to do it.
You can download run a ruu for your device.
