[Q] HTC Desire Rooted?!

Hey
I have just got my HTC Desire rooted and don't have a clue how to use it, so anyone wanna give me pointers or tell me how to customize or do as much as i can with this rooted HTC Desire, i have a rom installed on it called Lee Droid, but i was hoping to find out if i can add any other roms or do other things with it, someone please help me?!! lol
anyways thanks for reading this and i hope one of use helps me
Gratz on getting it rooted!
I guess the first thing you can do is theme it with the theme kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775970
Just be careful about what you select. Or else you will cause yourself a bootloop.
Just to be safe do a nandroid backup and have a rom named update.zip ready to be flashed in the RUU if anything goes wrong.
Moved to Q&A as you may get more help here than in the Themes forum.
If this doesn't work out for you, PM me and I'll move it back
To be honest if you don't know what rooting is then you probably don't need it - always best to read up on it all before doing it!!

so you have LeeDroid, good, now, download Espresso's theme, which specifically is made for LeeDroid
find bundles and bundles of apps that you can use to mess with the rom, like a terminal emulator, root explorer, setCPU and many more, if you dont know how, check out my appbrain, loads of stuff

[Q] 2.3.3 Root (Question)

A friend of mine just got his Evo yesterday and it came shipped with 2.3.3.
I've searched the forums on multiple sites and couldn't find an absolute answer, is it possible to root this, or downgrade to a rootable version?
no you cant root as of now and you cant downgrade either
sorry
and just to help if your new people become douche bags if you post something in the wrong section you will get more help if you post this in the Q and A section
Sadly no
They are working very hard (see Evo 3D and Sensation forums) so it shouldn't be that long but as of now nope. BTW watch out for the troll police and their smarmy (but usually hilarious) comments. Maybe move your thread if u don't wanna hear them.
cool rom! try going to the q&a im sure u know howz to readz!
WOW, AGAIN!!!?!??
MODS, clean up on thread 1160843...hahahahaha
Subscribed, cannot wait to flash !!!

Maybe some help :)

Hey im already soff but was searching around some forums and maybe found something useful for you guys with son.
ppl on the se forums have been able ti install cwm with their bootloaders locked!
access to system/sbin is required which,as far as i can recollect is provided by temproot!
so go check the xperia mini/pro forums!

Gnex Toolkit

Hi
sorry for posting my problem here, but Iam still not allowed to post in development section.
I've got the donations version of the galaxy nexus toolkit. My problem is, that i cannot use the update function.
I got asked if i want to check for an update. Then i got this error:
Update server cannot be located.
Check your internet connection and try again later.
I tested with firewall off and for testing i forwarded port 5037.. no success.
In earlier versions of the toolkit i had no problems.. but when i downgrade from 7.8 to 7.5 the problem still appears...
I hope someone can help me..
considering a good chuck of us who help people dont like toolkits, honestly, that thread might be your best bet.
ive never used the toolkit, and never will.
I used the kit for installing cwm.
I diddnt used the kit for something else. But its still a problem which i'd like to solve..
Flashing and backups for example i manage with cwm.
PS: Sorry for my bad english
Learn how to do things without a toolkit.
You should use the Wugfresh toolkit
And can someone please remove the post restriction off me?
Learn what is going on in the background first...... And you are not developing anything, stop trying to post trash in the development section.

Do not use toolkit. Period. More problems than not from what I see in threads. Always starts with. ..I used a toolkit and now.. ..adb is so simple.if need help or have questions with it YouTube qbking77 and I'm sure he has a video for anything.

And from experience. ..listen to the guy about posting in the dev section. Those guys are BRUTAL and won't explain what qualifies to post there, will just rip you a new one. Basically, unless you created a rom or kernel. .you don't post. If you think something might help them, you don't post. All questions go to q &a unless its about specific rom or kernel you're using and then it goes in the rom thread. Stay away from kernels until you know what doing. Those things always Jack my phone so I personally stay stock. If need help feel free to pm me. I'm not half as knowledge as alot of the people in here but sounds like you're new at this so I can help on some aspects and if can't can probably point you in the right direction to get it
I agree - better learn to do things without the toolkit. It may actually be easier to do things without it, atleast it was to me when I unlocked and rooted my GN.
