If I'm not mistaken that's because its for the HTC Desire, not the G2 and Desire Z. I could be wrong, pls correct me if I am.

Yikes, don't flash ROMs meant for other phones! You can brick your phone that way.

Where Do I Start?

I really want to root my deisre, but I dont know where to start.
My system information on desire is
Android version 2.2
Baseband 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
Kernel 2.6.32.15-gd966f2c0
Build 2.14.207.1 CL233777
All I want to do is be able to install apps2SD, I read somewhere with app2sd+ it lets you fool the phone in thinking you have more internal memory is this true?
I am a complete NooB at this so I just dont want to jump right in, I would like to somehow backup my stock ios so if anythink does go wrong and can reinstall back to default. All help welcome
shanks
look at the stickies, theres ghuides for everything!
if anything does go wrong, then just get the same RUU you've got now, and flash..
hope this helps!
Seems my ruu is.nt there?

Thanks again great support on this site ha
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
You can indeed but if you read the guides carefully and be thorough you can't really go wrong
Thanks I'll have ago on Saturday off work then, if I do all this and 2.3 comes out can I still update or have I got to install a 2.3 Rom.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
A 2.3 official update to a branded desire is not going to come soon, anyhow you'll be rooted soon and a custom rom version of 2.3 will be released months before the official, so you might as well just stick with a custom 2.3 ROM.
But if you decide you want the official 2.3, then you apply the RUU, and then the update.
Ok thanks witch Rom is the best out there for app2SD?

Anything that supports EXT4
EXT3 is enough for A2SD+
Am going to try leedroid that seems the best out there from what I read

It's not, just a lot of people seem to recommend it...
What would you say is better?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
It's not really fair on the dev's to state a 'best' rom, i would suggest you try a few different roms out as it will be down to your own personal preference. The most popular ones are listed on the first page of the Android Development section of the forum. Have fun flashing
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
That's about as good a reply as you'll get
Yes your probably right, I'll try leedroid out first. If it dose what it say I don't think ill try anymore. Just want 1gb of internal memory lol

Dang you guys are on the ball in here! I just got it fully downloaded and I'm uploading it to a mirror now.
I'm just reading through and wanted to know about it.. I don't know much about this and since it says radio, is it just the radio or like an official test rom from tmobile??? Even though I don't mess with these, just wanted to be informed

This is a full dump of the Gingerbread ROM for the Vision. The Radio in the name is just telling you want Radio version is included. This is the same for every HTC ROM
is the hboot ENG?
also, is the rom ext3 or ext4?
Awesome! I will give it a try tonight
I installed just the radio and I know these posts look silly but seriously, my signal has seemed to be stronger and quicker to switch to H.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Has the actual RUU or signed ROM been leaked anywhere? If I understand it right, this would theoretically give those of us with 1.22 S-ON soft bricks at least a working phone again.
I am sorry if this sounds redundant.
This means there is a radio that is included that will be installed along with the rom if we flash this through Hboot?

Most people use either leaks or hybrids. I switched from AuraxTremeGinger 8.6 two days ago to SGBS, and it seems nice so far. I mainly did that because some oinks from SGS2 forums drove NeoPhyTe from development, otherwise, AuraxTremeGinger was super stable - used it from day one.
But, if I knew how to circumvent small cache with oxygen hboot, I'd modify auraxtsense 8.4 and stick with it from now till the end of time. Most high profile developers are slowly leaving Desire scene, so I don't think that gingerbread and it's kernels will get that same state of perfection FroYo did.

So isn't a recovery which is used by everyone. Some use clockworkmod, some amonra, some rmd (modification from nexus s-amonra to desire) and some use 4xt.
im using Reflex S (LOVE it)
my recovery is clockwork
I think the ROM you have now (RCMix S) is near the top of the Sense ROMs for quality. InsertCoin is much the same, while CrystalPayramid and CoolSensation are similar again, but use the 3DRosie from Sensation/Pyramid ROM, as well as a few extras.
As to recovery, I am on CWM 3.x.x
What do people prefer more acemod or insertcoin
