Installing Jelly Bean on HTC Desire HD

If you want to upgrade and refresh your phone then flashing Jellytime onto it can make a big difference. Here’s how to do it:

(Note: Make sure you are using a rooted phone and have backed up everything *not* on your SD card)

(1) Install ROM Manager

(5) Prepare to take the dunk:

- ROM Manager -> "Reboot into recovery"
- Install from zip
- Navigate to jellytime and ok it
- Wait till installed and do the same for the Google apps package

5) Restart and enjoy!


Potential problems:
– If you use an older version of the Google Apps package you will get an “Unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped working” and you can’t get into your phone. Just make sure you’re using the most recent versions of the above two downloads and you should be ok.
