Hello . i have Desire Z stock running 2.2 stock. I need to root it and i see many ways to do it but i knew that the adb method is the best. Can someone post a video in youtube on how to do it step by step from rooting to S-off to custom recovery ? Thanks much.
I don't know of any video guides. But this is the best rooting guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision
It is all ways up to date and if you need support hop over to the #G2ROOT irc http://webchat.freenode.net/

I am new to Android, have no experience in hacking/modding but am aware of rooting & custom ROMs & have a vague idea of what they do but not really how they work.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction with regards to rooting & installing custom ROMs for beginners.
I'm using a HTC Desire Z with HTC Sense 2.2 if that makes a difference.
Thanks

You can start by reading the Wiki in the link below, it has all the basic info you need to know about your phone and rooting and more:

Also you will need to setup adb on your computer too
Here is a good guide for that:

ok I'm biased, but I would use this guide for adb since it's specific to the Vision (G2/DZ) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865685
Hi, I would like to help my friend install a custom Rom on his desire and need to find out the general steps of what to do??
I have a desire hd and I'm not sure if things are a little different.
For my desire hd I : root, s-off, install custom Rom via cwm.
Is that the same steps as the desire??
My friend is on software number 2.29, can that build be rooted or does it need to downgrade first?? Also I've just read a couple of threads regarding installing a custom Rom and they don't refer to having s-off so was wondering if he needed to be s-off to have custom Rom, id assume he did.
Yeah if someone could help by just saying the steps in which to do it, id look up the rest ,
Thanks in advance to anyone that could help.
P.s its not for me, I'm doing it for a mate who is a complete noob.
Thanks a lot

I would advise the ace hack kit found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11321163 Haven't used this in a while and if your already s-off not sure you can use it. Check it out and see.
Hope this helps.

wow mate, bit of patience hey? 80 minutes between 1st and 2nd post!
if you're S-OFF already, the way to root that I know is to downgrade to 1.32 then run the visionary tool: http://android.modaco.com/topic/320722-19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/

Thank you very much for your help
I used the ACE Kit yesterday to get from v2.3.5 to v2.3.3 and rooted. Simple and straightforward if you follow the instructions and have patience.

hi guys and ladies
I have a HTC desire as secondary phone
Sim locked with Orange Swiss
Android version 2.2
Kernel 2.6.32.15-ge2c73db
Software number 2.22.71.4
I would like to root it and instal a custom kernel.
Should I do some more specific stuff since it is Sim-locked?
Or I follow general posts to root the HTC desire? Any good updated step by step guide?
Eventually I'm looking for a stable light ROM with good battery performance.
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks in advance
