After a boot hang issue, I successfully flashed my Desire HD using this stock ROM - RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed

I think I may have picked up a bug in this ROM which prevents internet clients such as Mail and Internet from working properly. The phone connects OK with my wireless router and is visible on the network at IP address 192.168.1.65 And when I run a cmd shell on the PC I can successfully ping the phone:

C:\Users\John>ping Android_356812048849192.home

Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

I am ruling out hardware as I am able to established an IPv4 link.

Please, does anyone know what may be causing the lack of internet connection? Like, is it in this particular OS and is it something that can be patched if I were to re-root the phone now? Many thanks.
 
RESOLVED!!! RESOLVED!!!!

The problem was simply resolved by deleting the User Data partition from the ClockworkMod menus.

I thought I had already done this - it just shows you can't be too careful. It also resolved a problem with the Camera App so there may well have been other side effects, too. Anyway, I am now back to square one and, I think, fully rooted again. Thanks to other posters whose contributions eventually led me to resolve this myself. :)
