Installing a custom rom
From Attie's Wiki
Because everyone seems to be so angry, I've decided to take some notes as I figure my way through the process.
I have a generic (unbranded) HTC Desire HD, and I want to put the Blackout ICS ROM on it.

Info
- Use the Advanced Ace Hack Kit (AAHK) which was designed specifically for the HTC Desire HD
- It will do everything, ENG S-OFF, root, install ClockworkMod
- Download the Blackout ICS ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875810
- Put the zip file on an SD Card
- Get into the bootloader, and select 'Recovery'
- Choose to install an update ZIP from the SD card, and go!
- The rest should be simple :-)
Get into the Bootloader
Press and hold Vol Down & Power while rebooting / powering up.
Unlock the Bootloader
Unlock your phone's bootloader. To achieve this, head over to htcdev.com. They have really good step-by-step instructions, and it was a breeze.
