Hey, Im looking for a comprehensive guide on rooting a HTC desire on froyo, I assume it involves flashing with an older Rom, also I can't ever seem to boot into recovery mode, I think I may have damaged the recovery Rom, however I have little knowledge on android. Just got my desire a week ago and loving it so far. Any help or advice much appreciated

Hello Guys,
I am an android nOob who is really stuck I have read so many different forums I am still not sure what step I am missing out, if you have the time could someone give me a step by step guide please. I have a 3UK desire software No 1.22.771.1. this is branded and locked to three. I have made the gold card and also rooted using unrevoked but instead of using clockworkmod I have used recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5.img, rooting has worked as I have superuser permissions this is where I am now stuck what is the next move I have tried using gernic HTC RUU to de-brand so the software version is 1.21 instead of 1.22 but this always fails stating wrong RUU I have hit the wall boys I dont know what the next step is I would like to use Leedroid's ROM on my desire.
Any help please I would be very grateful.
I think you can just flash a custom firmware. Won't the RUU updates remove root access etc?

I am now running 2.2 I was making it much harder then what it was!!
So long as you are routed I would download Rom manager from market and then use that to download a Rom and flash with a full wipe, so simple real it is
Good luck
Oh check out miui Rom if you real want to be impressed

Hi there, I've got the exact same software version, 1.22.771.1, have already rooted using unrevoked, if I just load a custom rom now is it likely to work? My desire is 3 branded but I've unlocked it and am using a Vodafone SIM.
Thanks,

Hi,
I could really use some help rooting my htc Desire z.
I already tried VISIONary 13 and 14 the app stopped responding at attempt temproot.(i waited much longer than 30 seconds)
with the gfree method for htc vision (the one from xda wiki) the terminal bugged at the second boot where i should get root access.
i tried all above methods multiple times.
could someone please help me or suggest an alternative method?
What exact ROM are you running ?

Hi. I recently bought I HTC Desire with froyo branded by Orange Spain.
The problem is that I can't find a way to root it, since it has already instaled froyo and the downgrading tutorials only work for unbranded phones.
Does anyone know any way I can get this phone rooted?
Try here. It is in post 3
Just use unrevoked.
There's plenty of threads discussing the process.
Be aware though, that there isn't currently any RUUs available for Orange so going back to completely Orange stock with no root can't be done.

Oh, and make sure you make a goldcard before you do anything.
This will help if you need to use a non-orange rom in the future.

Thanks for the replies!
So i have looked up on this program (i used it to root my old x10), on some websites it roots the Desire on others it doesn't
I know Unrevoked will root it but will this?
Has anybody used this to root there desire
regards
No, but it should work (from what i heard) on the "older" Desires, however for newer Desires, unrEVOked is recommended (mainly SLCD/PVT4).
Well i have the newer SLCD desire, with the 093 hboot, i only want root though not a custom recovery image
You can't, you need the recovery image to flash a new ROM. Just use unrEVOked, I gave you the link for the stock ROM so you can always go back to 100% stock if needed
I know eddy im just unsure about it at the moment

It's a very simple process so long as you read and 100% follow a decent guide. Here's one that's meant to be good:

Hello,
I just got my new HTC desire Z to replace an HTC Inspire as I missed having a physical keyboard. I'd like to run Energy's rom as I have previously on other phones, but looking around it seems as though this phone is more of a PITA. So I haven't even powered it on yet, but before I do, don't update the oem software, correct? I need to unlock and root before I do any upgrade?
Thanks in advance!
Brad
Here's the rom I'd like to run...

Yep don't upgrade. If your phone already has upgraded firmware then you'll have to downgrade before rooting. Follow the wiki for rooting g2/dz found on xda, this is the safest way to do so and if you read first and understand the basics you'll be done in under an hour easily
