New HTC Desire help needed...

Hi there!
I am all new to the android world and a proud owner of a HTC Desire.
I have a branded (vodafone) version with bootloader 0.93.0001, SLCD and android 2.2 with all Updates installed.
I would like to unbrand, root and install the MIUI Rom on my Desire.
I read through guides and stuff and they unsettled me.
There often are hints which say things like: not with new HTC OTA, bootloader xx, SLCD Screen and so on.
So... above I already stated what I would like to do with my Desire.
First of all is it possible? ^^
Seconded, would someone tell me what guides (and pls in what order!!) I have to follow?
I would be very thankful in advance.
Have a nice christmas everyone.
regards

Before rooting, it's a good idea to save the stock ROM you are running right now, so in case of emergency, you can revert to it and send it to the repair service.
From what you say, I assume you are running 2.33.161.2 Vodafone rom, here is the RUU.exe for that version.
You cannot unbrand your phone, but can get rid of the vodafone adware (debrand) by installing a WWE ROM or a MIUI custom rom, as you said you would like.
To install a custom rom you'll have too use unrevoked in order to get root (SU) and a custom recovery, from the latter you can flash custom ROMs.
The most newbie friendly guide in my view is turkey's one.
You must not forget that we, also wish you a Merry Christmass.
Hi again!
Thanks for that Link, it is really helpful.
I have just one Question left:
Won't I need a goldcard?
Because in this guide there is nothing said about a goldcard, but in other tutorials I read that it is needed it to flash, root etc.
So according to the tut you posted above, I guess I dont need a goldcard, right?
regards
You will need a gold card to flash an official WWE ROM, but you do not need a goldcard to flash the RUU I have linked or the MIUI (because it's a custom, not an official rom by a carrier or htc).
Unrevoked doesn't require a goldcard neither.
Thanks again for your help.
I managed to successfully install the gMIUI ROM I found in this Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885844
But now my light sensor doesn't work! As well as torchlight.
How can I fix this?
+ I think that ROM is really unstable it already rebooted itself 2 times?
Sometimes it just reboots when starting an application?
EDIT: this really sucks. is MIUI really that bad?
Is MIUI in general rather unstable? Or did I do simething wrong/is there a more stable version of it?
(BTW: I choose Pays gMIUI because I wanted to have german language)
regards
Haven't tried Pay's MIUI, but the english version is solid.
You can download it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9932492&postcount=4070
And then download a german language pack from here http://forums.miui-dev.com/showthre...UI-0.12.18-%28N1-Desire%29-Pack-3-verf%FCgbar
Can't tell you info or instructions on that because it's in ... german .

Thanks but it's not there... or I can't find it.
I need...( Blur_Version.3.6.360.MB525.T-Mobile.en.US ) Link please?
Avoiding to make a new topic for my question i will write here , is somewhere in the forum explained how can i roll back from build 3.4.2. 145 , moto version 3.4.0.145 retail.en.gb to rom 2.51 , because with this rom the market doesnt download some of the apps , the phone freezes and have to pull out the battery and other bad stuf , is it possible to roll back >?
All of you. First flash the first sbf that you were with. For eg: 2.21 De Eclair and then do the procedure in this thread

Locate the sbf and flash

Need help

Hello. First of all sorry for my bad english Me bought motorola defy with 2.1 official eclair rom but I want to install gingerbread or something like that. Now I have updated rom to 2.2.2 Froyo, then root with SuperOneClick. And what I need to do later ? I download MS2Ginger2.1.zip for green leanse and put it in SD card but with recovery I get an error. Do I need unrar this pack or what ? please help me
Before flashing anything on Defy I strongly recommend to read a bit and understand how the process (flashing) works. A good place to start is the All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide topic. After you read it and you are aware of the risks implied by flashing and you understand how you can do it properly then you are good to go.
