U'll need make a Goldcard possibly to it too if u have a Branded phone.

but is it clean ROM? I mean just stock, original without root?

i think it is, not 100% sure, but its definatly not rooted , coz the step after downgrading, is the process to make it rooted

Easy way to root a stock 2.2 rom?

Hello Guys
Just bought my Desire - but it was pre-installed with the 2.2, is there any easy solution for rooting this?
Downgrade then use unrevoked
Hi Numsefis,
you need to downgrade your phones HBOOT. Read this: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745903

okay.. that's great, but hoped that there would be an easier solution, for the HBOOT 0,92.. But i'll root it and install new firmware... Will you prefer the OpenDesire or Stock ROM?
you will loose your ROM and all settings. The .zip contains a Stock 2.1 ROM. After the downgrade you need to unrevoke and flash a new one.
I'm using this: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775
very nice, will it be possible to make a backup with the HTC function before root, and then restore when rooted?
What's the Radio package for?
The Backup only stores personal Data. Your ROM will be gone. After unrevoking your phone you will have the Nandroid BackUp.
Basically, the radio rom is the firmware that runs the phone, wireless and blutooth portions of the phone. Newer versions are likly to improve performance or fix bugs.

OK thanks....
Then i root the phone, install 2,2 then make a nandroid backup when the phone is configured... And also install the radio fix...
Hopefully i can get paid apps in my market
downgrade -> unrevoke -> radio -> rom -> enjoy

Thx alot for the info, but my phone was running HBOOT 0,92, so i think it's okay
from my link
Q. What is the difference between HBOOT 0.83 and 0.92?
A. 0.92 is installed if you apply the official OTA froyo update. If you care about rooting and custom ROMs, you want to avoid the OTA update currently.
Q. How do I downgrade to HBOOT 0.80?
A. Don't - there is no reason to. If you want to root or use a custom ROM or debrand there is no need to. If you have an SLCD screen, the current method for downgrading will break your screen.
Q. Can I debrand my phone with HBOOT 0.83?
A. Yes. If your software version is 1.21.405.2 or lower (for example, branded O2 phones), you can simply use this RUU with a goldcard to debrand and install stock 1.21.405.2. You can then upgrade to OTA froyo if you wish to. This RUU will also flash your HBOOT to 0.83.

can't get unrevoked to find my phone.... :S
have you installed the USB Driver like the html document says?
Yep, got it working, the guide i read, missed a step, that the ADB driver should be installed under Restore....
Now i got my phone rooted, and installed the Market fix... BUT i can't see that the market is unlocked for all programs???

[Q] Asian Desire - WTF? :S

So, I bought my unlocked and unbranded Desire from India. It has Android 2.1 and I want to install 2.2 on it.
1. Can I directly use RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.4 3.00 . 32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe on my cell regardless of the version of 2.1 it's running?
2. Or should I install the RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe Generic Worldwide 2.1 ROM before and wait for the 2.2 update to show up OTA?
3. Will I need a goldcard? And again, All these ROMs will be compatible with my Asian Desire, right? Or will I brick it?
Please help me out, I want to give it a try.
Hi.
To install wwe rom u need the goldcard. U dont need to root it. I had first created the goldcard. Then installed the wwe rom. And then install OTA for froyo.
Just keep one thing in mind. When u update to froyo ota do do keep your goldcard only in the fone or else it wont install and os gets corrupted. Desire will keep on rebooting

[Q] Hboot 0.93 root? HOW?

Okay so i recently got a HTC desire and i tried to root it and failed, so i did some research and found that thanks to the 2.2 OTA it has made the phone unrootable at the moment, Hboot is 0.93 and to downgrade hboot it has to be 0.92. Can somebody point me in the right direction as i am going crazy and going in circles here.
Thanks
stu
It has nothing to do with hboot. You can follow the same guide to downgrade Anrdoid and root the phone, but if you have an SLCD screen you'll have the same problem with the screen breaking in the process.
No when i went to downgrade hboot it told me it was failed....Dude
Then your software version must be higher than stock froyo, in which case it's not possible to root in any way at the moment.

Isnt there a way i can downgrade to 2.1 instead and then root?
Nope. The downgrade works on any software version up to 2.09.405.8 but nothing higher. You can't override that check without rooting, and you can't root without downgrading.
Ahhhhh f**k!!!! >.<

Hi, need some help as im only new to this. My DHD is on Android 2.2 with a weird software version very few other people have which is 1.83.415.4.

or
Can i simply use the available ruu to upgrade my phone to 2.3 with out having to downgrade first?
Any help would be great.

hi boy!!!
I estimate that you have specifically android 2.2.1...right?
i hope that your software version is adapted for your carrier.... and is not a WEE ruu... its normal... my DHD by default was been 1.33
u can try via htc sync and click in upgrade button and pray for it to work....
i know that some people was update succesfully his DHD with it...
or try to do it with the XDA style, lol.....(because for downgrade it directly from a official ru downloaded it´s impossible)
1-downgrading...(necessary)
2-rooting...(necessary)
3-install rom manager & CWM recovery (necessary)
4-eng-soff
5-radio s-off
6-cid-111111 (super-cid)
here there is information about it:

If your phone is unlocked and running a stock rom then you can use the RUU to upgrade.
