I updated my Desire to 2.2 when official Froyo came out, and now I would like to root and go for other ROMs, so my question is: Can i root? And which is the easiestway.
Thanks in advance
Downgrade hboot to 0.80 or 0.83 and then unrevoke it, voila, choose the rom you want

can you please provide the link?
My bootloader is .80 and software number is 2.09.405.8
Radio version is 4.06.00.02_2
That radio is an old one so I'm guessing you're on a custom ROM at present...if you were on the proper FroYo ROM you'd have the same radio as me (see signature)

how can I update the radio? The radios I have found needs rooting before upgrading. and my froyo cannot be rooted.
If you're on FroYo you should be on the radio I'm on as 720p doesn't work with the old radio - which is why I asked if you're on a custom ROM. The new radio is on the OTA update and should be installed as part of the update
If you use an official update you will get the latest radio (5.09.00.20), the latest software (2.09.405.8) and the latest bootloader (0.92). It isn't currently possible to root this.
If you're running 1.x software (i.e. Android 2.1) you can root the phone and install a rooted Froyo ROM and the latest radio. This is the only way at the moment to have Froyo rooted.
If you have upgraded to Froyo without rooting and have a 4.x radio, something has gone wrong with your update.
thats what i did, rooted 2.1 then updated radio to froyo radio then used a stock but rooted 2.2 with hboot 0.80 from macado.

you are right. I upgraded to froyo without rooting and stuck with 4.x radio. the Rom is working fine except I cannot install any application from android market or from pc. what can I do now? even if I can go back to my 2.1 Rom, that will be fine with me. please help.
If you don't want to root then you can just apply the Froyo RUU:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...3.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
If your phone is branded you will need a goldcard for that to work.
Right, now we're getting somewhere!!
Where did you get the Desire in the first place? You'll need to find the RUU for the ROM your phone originally came with
All ROMs can be found here:

Thanks a lot.
This file http://www.unrevoked.com/#desire work on all desire with froyo 2.2?
I just have to follow this procedure?
What HBOOT you on?
2.2 comes with 0.92 if I'm not wrong, so no chance to root it. You need to downgrade.
thanks.. but the downgrade involves the loss of functionality (no file)?
You need to downgrade, root the phone and then you'll be able to install all roms (also froyo ones).
Can I do the root without install rom manager after?
Root is done with unrevoked and it install the recovery automatically. Then you can install or not rom manager app.
this is the guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745903) to downgrade but, can not find link files.
I have downgraded to stock 2.1 from the 8/1 leaked Froyo 2.2 rom. I'm now on version 2.1 Update1, and radio is downgraded to 1.00.03.04.06. (but still my hboot version is .79 - is there a problem with my hboot version being the same as before the downgrade?).
After downgrade I've rooted again with unrevoked and applied 'unrevoked forever' and attained s-off. Do I again need to install 'PB31IMG.zip' using clockwork recovery?
thanks and regards

Yes you can. Downgrade it to 0.83 and then use the Unrevoked method to gain root access.

(sorry, I can't post links)
I had to do this when mine came back from HTC loaded with 0.92 after a repair, so can tell you it works perfectly.
try using this, a universal downgrader
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
worked for me bootloader 0.92
You can downgrade and root here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
Nice i was about to ask the same thing...
The problem is when you say to downgrade from 0.92 to 0.83 it means that you will get 2.1...
Is there a way to maintain the 2.2 and root?
Or is there a way to root 2.1 and then install 2.2?

Once rooted just load a custom ROM of your choice.
hi, if i want to load after 2.1 root the original 2.2 will it be still rooted?
here was mentioned update unrevoked 3.2, which suppose to work on any HBOOT, but in www.unrevoked.com/recovery can't download at the mom cause they fix some bugs )
