Hi guys.. I am new to the community. I have got a HTC desire and I wanna root it but I dont understand the whole root and modding stuff. So can someone pls explain it to me? Like whats the difference between rooting/ modding/ gold card? So to do some thing wat should I do first??
Step1--Goldcard?
Step2--Root??
Step3--Mod??
I read through the tutorial but there was too much info I dint understand. So can someone temme wat you did first or the steps you followed while rooting or modding your Desire? And which mod is good?? Thanks for helping
Edit- I have the Froyo OTA update
First off, why do you wanna root it?
Secondly, at this second, you can't root your phone due to the HBOOT. Once unrEVOked is back up this will sort it out. There is a way of downgrading your Desire to a lower HBOOT that can be rooted but if you're a n00b then it's probably best to either leave it or read a LOT until you're confident enough to try it.
Thirdly, a Gold card is needed if you want to flash a ROM other than the one that came with your Desire. E.g. I've got a SIM free Desire so I can only install official ROMs with an x.xx.405.x build number. If, for some stupid reason, I wanted to flash an operator specific ROM I'd need to use a Gold card. To check what you've got go to Settings>About phone>Software information
Thanks mate.. rooted my desire with unrevoked

Didn't fancy answering my questions then?
Hi
My Desire is rooted with unrevoked. Can I somehow backup my stock rom? I did nandroid backup and titanium but that is another story. I want to backup my stock rom because of warranty. On shiped-roms there isn't my RUU available. Also how do I know that RUU is for SLCD?
This is my version : SLCD
baseband version : 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
kernel version : 2.6.32.15-gf5a401c [email protected]#1
build number : 2.29.404.2 CL263770
I'm guessing you made a typo and you're on 2.29.405.2?
If so, just download the RUU for that version and you're sorted
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe

I do not understand too good this. In menu-settings-about phone-software information is next :
build number: 2.29.405.2 CL263770 release-keys
software number : 2.29.405.2
That doesnt match with my data in previous post. Is this because I rooted my phone?
No, it means you made a mistake in your previous post
Lol, I really did wrote down all specs before doing anything to my phone and doubleckecked. And backup. On two microsd cards. But It must be that. Anyhow thanx for links. I am now in peace.

i have a htc desire and i want to root it. can someone tell me what are the steps i have to follow. this is the soft vers :

1. First i have to downgrade the hboot from 0.92 to 0.80 ?
2.My phone is unbranded so i don't think i need a gold card.
3.Root with unrevoked (more explaining or steps to follow, needed here)
and if i decide to go back to stock rom how do i knew wich one i need ?
if i forgot someting or something is rong please correct me
this is my first android phone so please be pacient with me .
There are a couple of ways to that all over this forum so choose the one that is easy for you to understand.
I strongly suggest making a Gold Card. The most important part of making the gold card (in my opinion) is making it from a class 2 MicroSD card!!!
If it's a brand-new Desire, make sure you know whether it's an SLCD screen. You need to know how much possible trouble you're getting yourself into =)
yes it's a new desire but it has an AMOLED screen. i have a micro SD class 2 4GB that came with the phone. I want to root the phone because after the 2.2 froyo update the gps stopped working(the gps icon blinks ) .i've waited for 45 min in the open sky and no gps fix...
I have read the tut on xda but it's the first time i try to root an android phone and i want to be sure i do this well...
Sorry for posting this please delete or relocate if this thread is in wrong location or breaks the rule.
I just bought Desire. The seller said it was AMOLED version but I think it's SLCD as there seems to have light at the edge and on the box doesn't say anything about AMOLED. Doesn't matter, it is not important.
But, hope someone can help me with these:
1- This unit is bought in Malaysia under original SiS warranty. I know rooting it will void the warranty, what I want to know is can I unroot the phone to its original condition later before I send it for warranty? If yes then where can I read the guide to do this and the method?
2- As I planning to root the phone, does AMOLED or SLCD makes a difference?
3- What is the preferred memory card capacity and speed? I mean, most people said 8gb/16gb class 10 is good but is it necesssary?
Thank you
2- yes! People bricked their phone due to having and slcd version! Check your hboot turn the phone off. Once everything is off press and hold volume down and tap power... wait youll see a menu 2nd line should say. Hboot something like 0.80 etc. Theres some useful threads in the dev section
Cant renenber the number) for me it never made a differance.. class 4 8gb was good enough for me never had to wait fot it load or anything
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
HBOOT/SLCD is irrelevent as once unrEVOked 3.2.x has been released you can root it with one program...as for going back to stock/unroot yo'll need to see if there's an RUU file of the ROM your Desire comes with.
To check what you're using at the moment (or when the phone arrives) go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post the information here. We can then advise

Right, it seems you've got the Asian ROM, and there's a FroYo ROM available...
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed.exe
That should work (if it asks for logins, username/password is shipped)

Thanks for the link. Am I just need to flash this ROM or should I follow the step as stated in the wiki?
So, before I flash my phone, just want to be sure again, how can I save a backup of my current ROM or where can I find a stock ROM in case I needed it later?
I still have 2 years warranty, so my understanding is that if I ever want to claim my warranty, I need to unroot the phone back to stock ROM before sending it over. Correct?
So, rooting the phone is not a problem for warranty right?
Thanks.
No the one Eddy is linking is the original rom. Just the froyo(2.2) version.
If you want to root you should look for a topic on it in the development section.
Btw. I believe the 0.83 hboot means you have got slcd screen please read on for faq about rooting slcd:

Thanks. I brought it from Netherlands will it go some problem?
What's was software version running on your phone when you first got it? The baseband is the radio and isn't important (yet)
what are the benifits of unrooting the device?
- Clean slate to start again
- Returning handset under warranty
- Just using the phone as it is as rooting isn't needed for what you use your phone for (my option)
origanial 2.2
I can't update the OTA, so I try to recover but still have the superuser
can use the offical rom

This statement is as helpful as a chocolate teapot. What version number were you running, e.g. 2.10.405.2?
Without that we can't advise which stock RUU to flash to get back to working
my version number is 2.10.405.2 !!!
And that is what it came with out of the box? Or is that what it's saying now?
I just want to unroot my desire and back to original rom,could you give me a clean room to set?
Without knowing the ROM it was running ON THE DAY YOUR BOUGHT IT we cannot recommend which to use
I bought at september the rom is basic 2.2
But what was the software version on the day you bought it?? That is what I'm trying to find out!?!?! e.g. 1.21.405.2
software:2.10.405.2
build number:2.10.405.2 CL226611 release-keys
kernel version:2.6.32.15-g6a358a9
And that was it the day you bought it? If so, download the 2.29.405.2 RUU in my signature (click it) and just run that from your Windows PC with your phone connected in FASTBOOT
yes,thank you

Do you all know that it is nessecarily to downgrade your device ROM Software to Version 1.32 or 1.72??
You CAN NOT ROOT your device with Gingerbread or Android 2.x the easy way.
Check this and download your ROM 1.2x or 1.3x or 1.7x for your current provider.
Flash it - and after all ROOT it.

he asked for the rom build version not the kernel version. but anyway this kernel version indicates a gingerbread rom version. as he said above you need to downgrade. look up jkojos post.

Please help me Im new on Android...
you cannot root any newer desire hd build, you must downgrade first, to downgrade you must temp-root first.
full guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152233. It involves adb command, so if you're not familiar with these, get someone who have the knowledge to help you
Hi, I'm a little lost on the site here..
I have been reading up on rooting my DHD and to be honest i dont know if its possible, if it can what rom do i use and what tools..
Andriod Version 2.3.3
HTC sense version 2.1
Software Number 2.50.405.2
Any help & advise would be great.
Thanks
It is possible. Everything you need is in my signature
So downgrade first, then do Radio S-OFF and optionally ENG S-OFF. Then follow the instructions in Radio S-OFF thread (first post) to flash ClockworkMod and finally a ROM.
ENG S-OFF can be done later, too, so you do not really need to worry about it at this point.
I would recommend Android Revolution HD because it is the most popular ROM for Desire HD.
Thank you very much for the quick response ill get to doing it now
After downgrading you can use this guide (Its by the previous gentlemen as well)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769
I also recommend Android Revolution HD
Just to confirm I downgraded and rooted yesterday using these guides. Was simple and a brilliant help couldn't have done it without them.

Nope I don't think its possible due to having to place the downgrade zip file on the SD card, and then there is the fact that if its branded you will have to make a goldcard.
Yes I am new to this myself so I apologize if i am wrong but just wanted to try and help you out.

Also think its not possible, after all if there was a way it would be in the guide (a safe way at least). You should wait for your card to arrive and maybe try and get a second card in case you need to make a gold card.
