Hi there, with the Desire about to launch on Telus in Canada, two questions:
1) If you've already gotten the 2.2 update - does the UnrEVOked root method still work?
2) Has the "exploid" root method been applied to the Desire as well (as it has with Nexus One, Droid X, and many many other phones)? If so is it working on the 2.2 update?
No, nothing works yet.
Ok. And how about if the Telus Desire comes with a rootable 2.1... is there a way to upgrade to a pre-rooted Desire 2.2 that is otherwise identical to HTC's version of 2.2?

if your desire comes with a hboot of 0.75 or 0.80 you can root, if it comes with froyo and the new hboot 0.92 it cant be rooted yet obviously if you can root it, you will have no trouble upgrading to one of the modded official froyo roms that are pre rooted and have the new hboot removed
hi guys
since i updated my desire i cannot access root does any one have solution
for this problam.thxx
Good to know!
Is there any sense as to whether a Desire ROM from one region will work on a phone from another that comes with different 3G frequencies? I know this causes problems with the Milestone, but it isn't an issue with the Nexus One.
A HowardForums member reports that the Telus Desire comes with:
kernel:
2.6.29-e5576724
Build Number:
1.29.661.1
2.1Update1
No root reports yet, but would any problems be anticipated based on this info?

Hello,
I'm planing to root my desire and update it to 2.2. I've searched a bit, and found that people are taking about different versions of roms for desire. Which version is best? Where to get it from?
If i want to have version 2.2 do i have to root my desire to unbranded android 2.1 and then simply download android 2.2 or root it using 2.2?
Thanks for the reply in advance.

hello,
i think i need to make myself a bit clearer.
Currently i have HTC Desire with Tmobile software which is unlocked (sim-free). I would like to have unbranded android 2.2. I read a bit and understand that i need to root my device first, then i can put the unbeanded rom, is that correct?
Now, there is a lot of roms available, so which one i should use? Should i use 2.1 or 2.2 rom? Where can i get it from?
Thanks,
Wooju

this is a rooted originial HTC 2.2 rom. It is good for the beginning. And look at the description.. u will have to install the new Radio(Firmware) first. U can find the link in the thread.
U will have to choose if u want HTC-Sense and A2SD(ext3) and choose one of the roms available. I think they are all with Android 2.2
If you want a unbranded custom ROM you need to root your phone first, but if you just want the 2.2 update and doesn't mind the branding, there is an official update from HTC available.
I would recommend rooting your phone with 'unrevoked', there are plenty tutorials in this forum.
Which ROM to use is up to you. I use DeFrost without the sense UI.
Thanks for the reply. I just want to make sure, i root my device first, then load radio and then custom ROM?
x01a4, i uderstand that unrevoked is the program used to root the phone?
has anyone got this?
when i check on my fone it says no updates
any info on the change log?
From the HTC website:

Update: Android 2.2 and HTC Sense update.

So, potentially this could be the update to bring Sense in-line with the HD interface? (Just hypothesising, I have no evidence!)
I haven't got this update showing on my phone either. (Yet! ;-) )
EDIT: Just noticed that that info is only on the South-East Asia version of HTC.com, so it could be a local firmware variation (I hope not!).

No new Sense, just stock FroYo update
What software version are you on now?

hi there
whats the differences?if any
im on 2.09.405.8 CL218634 release-keys
You're unbranded so you can't use that anyway. There'd be no differences, though - it's just released later than your one (although there is now 2.10.405.2 and 2.29.405.2)
Did you debrand your Desire or has it always been on that version?
always been like that
i updated to froyo using the update.zip method a few months ago
okay so theres nothing new in this update
Get this one then as well...
http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_HTC_EU_2.10.405.2-2.09.405.8_releaseol2djq7rqarka2ka.zip
It's not that there's nothing new per se, it's just not relevent to your unit - you can only update to x.xx.405.x
I wish there were proper changelogs so we can see a reason to upgrade or not sometimes
Well, 2.29.405.2 has the RIL update to work with the radio I'm guessing. It's a very solid ROM and I'm happy with it at present

htc has stop the OTA for 2.2.1 with build 1.72 because of several issue.
so your desire HD will stuck on that build, until there is a release version of it.
But there are also some other user get the new build 1.83 update recently, but only a few (maybe from selected region only).
but, it you really want the 2.2.1 (or gingerbread 2.3) , you can flash custom rom available here (at Development thread) e.g: Android Revolution HD, LeeDroid or CM7, better than stock rom.
Ok, Is there any way to root my HTC Wildfire?
Its now April and I havent herd anything and I dont want to use XTC.

Hi
I know that this was discussed many times.
but could you tell me what is the easiest/safer way to root/S-off htc desire z?
All posts I can find are quite old.
Thanks
Wiki method is considered by most here to be the safest.

I'm not rooted. If I have upgraded to 2.3.3 can I still use the gfree v0.5 method?

If you want to be rooted, I'd stay away from any official updates. No official updates have been rootable for some time. And I think people that have updated to the official Gingerbread T-Mobile G2 ROM are having trouble even downgrading in order to root. There is a pre-rooted (but otherwise "official") G2 T-Mobile Gingerbread ROM posted in the Development section. If you want the Sense GB ROM, you should wait until a pre-rooted version is posted here. You would still need to root and gfree in order to flash either of those.
Thanks RedPoint. Going to hold off for now. I love the official gingerbread. I just want screenshot and over-clocking capability.
