When Rooting and installing a custom bootloader and ROM on the Desire HD, you need to 'S-OFF' the phone, flash a custom recovery image, then, flash a custom ROM using your newly installed recovery image.
There are two methods to S-off your phone;
1) the official way from HTC which involves registering and some jumping through hoops
2) the original way which involves the Advanced Ace Hack Kit
After this you need to flash your recovery image to your phone, Lots of people reccomend using clockworkmod recovery image, but I couldnt get it to do a proper flash (they kept failing partway through). So I prefer "Team Win Recovery Project" TWRP for short.
Once youve used fastboot to flash TWRP onto your phone you should be able to boot into TWRP and make a backup (great idea)
Then the final step;
-Flash your chosen ROM to your phone through your recovery manager.
If you did your S-OFF the official way, you have one more 1/2 step.
You need to extract the boot image from your chosen rom file (zip) on your computer, and use fastboot to flash it onto your phones boot partition.
If you did your S-OFF the original way, you should already be done.
that is the big one.
Ill post a full guide/walkthrough at a future date. but for now, that should be enough

Currently the HTC Desire HD I flashed is running Jellytime, a Cyanogenmod built in July 2012.
Its fairly recent, and has very minor bugs.
Here is a LINK to the main post regarding Jellytime
