Hi all i'm new here and have just bought a desire z. I need help on perm rooting the device the simplest way possible because i want to install custom ROMS. Here are the details of my device the phone is not sim locked and is running stock ROM 2.2. I've tried to do many rooting tutorials but i chickened out at the end plus the terminal part was difficult any help would be appreciated thank you very much Mods: i hope i'm in the right section
You're in the right section but quite frankly the best way to do it is the follow the guide , I did it with NO prior experience and it worked flawlessly just follow the guide on the desire z page of cyanogen wiki I would link but on my iPod ATM
Thank You so much i have read it and it seems easy will let you know how it goes after i've done rooting it thank you so much once again

Hi guys,
I just got my Desire and I am interested in rooting it. I would appreciate if someone briefly can tell me what the advantages/disadvantages of rooting.
Also, where do I start with the rooting process?
Thanks so much in advance

@Dodolom - welcome
Best place to start reading about the rooting process is in the sticky at the top of this thread. Lots of information by many smart guys, so take your time and read through the lot before doing anything.
Why root? Well by rooting you can install custom ROMs which contain new software or customisations and programs outside of the stuff that HTC chooses to provide in their stock ROMs.
Good luck.
And just a word of advice - have a good read of all the stuff in the forum before asking questions. Will most certainly reduce the risk of you getting flamed
thanks mate.
Also, just run the phone as it is - you may find it does what you want it to do out the box - rooting is only neccessary if something you wish to do isn't available without rooting...

At the moment, I wouldn't say it's very advantageous to root your desire. I rooted my G1 back in the day (only a year or so ago I know ) - but with the Desire, the rooting process still leaves part of the OS locked down, which means you still don't get full control over it.
The only advantage I could see at the moment for rooting the desire would be to get Apps 2 SD. However this is rumoured to be a new feature in Android 2.2 (Froyo) which is due for release within the next month or 2 for Desires. So rather than void your warranty and risk bricking your phone. It might be better to wait for 2.2 and see what you get with that!
i have no idea why everyne doesnt root the desire when they get it... goto modaco.com goto the desire section and follow the r6 riskfree root process and now ou will have a world class phone that you can install app2sd , app2sd+ or app2sd++ nt to mention all the custom roms... good luck
What's the difference between app2sd, app2sd+ and app2sd++ ???

Hello guys i have htc desire by telus. which is still stuck with 2.1 and very slow and laggy. and dont wana wait for telus 2.2 cuz it doesnt sounds promising.
so how easy is it to root and put rom leedroid on my desire? what are the chances to bricked the phone?
please share your taughts and help me and if u guys could provide link for easier root and put rom that be great. thanks
anyone? please help
please read the stickies in the adroid development forum
i did but there is soo many im new. so i dont know which to use. and i youtube the video its all in different language. so its confusing
The guides are made for new people. If you dont understand them I'd lay off rooting your desire as you could brick it
Hey buddy. I was in a similar situation as you, on the edge of rooting.
I also have a Telus-branded HTC Desire. The method I used was : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=763558 with this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044 for reference.
Its fairly painless. I have been hoping back and for between AuraSense, SenseHD, Miui, and Leedroid.
Found if you don't have a dire need for Camera, SenseHD is the way to go.
Otherwise, I've been enjoying the latest Leedroid.
If you are having problems following the guides, it may not be a good idea to root. However rooting the Desire is very easy (at least the GSM version).
I used unrEVOked to root, just download from their site, switch USB Debugging mode on, plug in and start the app ... it takes care of the rest.
I have used DeVillain, LeeDroid, and OpenDesire. LeeDroid is very good. I have personally stuck with Cyanogenmod. Very easy to install and the fastest benchmarks of the lot. Only problem .. no Sense .. but LauncherProPlus can do most of the sense stuff.
Happy hacking.
Hello, I have a HTC DHD and i need help. I want to install a new ROM on it but i have 2.3.3 so i can't root it. My question, Can someone give me a program to my computer so i can install it that way or do i have to wait to i can root it? Please help.

Thomas

here's one to get you started, but please read and fully understand everything before attempting any of the steps involved, and follow instructions EXACTLY, DO NOT be tempted to miss out a step which you think is not important click the link>>>>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904
Hello guys, im newbie in roms and all the phones stuff so please dont criticise I have a HTC Desire Z with Android 2.2. My question here is how to update it to newer? 4.4.4 would be awesome, i want newest i can. I found some posts on couple of forums about this but every was like "format, flash, update, boooom done". Can anyone tell me how to do it from begining? I mean how to format it the way it should be, how to flash, what do i need etc.
Also i found this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374927
Is it good? I know i shouldnt ask what rom should i pick, im just asking is it good to use on this phone.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
The second post in this thread will help you understand the initial process
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348266
You need to use gfree to exploit and root if you want radio s-off which is the only way you should root this phone. And be sure to read through all those links to understand fully first, I know it may be overwhelming but it is important.
As for best ROM, we don't make suggestions in xda but the third and forth post will link you to every to available. Gingerbread runs the best overall but there are many ICS and jb ROMs that work almost as well (some will say better) and KitKat has come a long way where many will find that it suffice for daily use.
You'll have to try a few, make backups, try a few more to see what works best for you
If you get stuck somewhere just ask in that thread and many are there to jump in and help
Best of luck!
