Root methods

Hi there, with the Desire about to launch on Telus in Canada, two questions:
1) If you've already gotten the 2.2 update - does the UnrEVOked root method still work?
2) Has the "exploid" root method been applied to the Desire as well (as it has with Nexus One, Droid X, and many many other phones)? If so is it working on the 2.2 update?

No, nothing works yet.

Ok. And how about if the Telus Desire comes with a rootable 2.1... is there a way to upgrade to a pre-rooted Desire 2.2 that is otherwise identical to HTC's version of 2.2?

if your desire comes with a hboot of 0.75 or 0.80 you can root, if it comes with froyo and the new hboot 0.92 it cant be rooted yet obviously if you can root it, you will have no trouble upgrading to one of the modded official froyo roms that are pre rooted and have the new hboot removed

hi guys
since i updated my desire i cannot access root does any one have solution
for this problam.thxx

Good to know!
Is there any sense as to whether a Desire ROM from one region will work on a phone from another that comes with different 3G frequencies? I know this causes problems with the Milestone, but it isn't an issue with the Nexus One.

A HowardForums member reports that the Telus Desire comes with:
kernel:
2.6.29-e5576724
Build Number:
1.29.661.1
2.1Update1
No root reports yet, but would any problems be anticipated based on this info?

[Q] htc desire z rom ported to g2?

Hi,
I am not usually an expert on porting ROM's and stuff but i was wondering if you can port the HTC Desire Z rom over to the tomobile version the G2?
The desire z actually has couple of different features that i would like the maps that are already stored on the phone.
If it its possible please do let me know
Thanks.

Once you are rooted and s-off using the guides in the Development forum, you can use any ROM you desire

[Q] Desire HD - getting back to stock ROM

hey guys,
i'm kinda new to whole android stuff - i have a desire HD stock ROM, no modifications. I'm really interested in flashing it to "android revolution 3.1". So, i read the guides about how to flash rom's.
My only open question is: How can i go back to stock ROM? The Desire HD is running 1.72 atm, and i maybe want to get back to it, if i'm unhappy with custom rom. I read about RUU, but i can't find a RUU for DHD 1.72. It's an unbranded DHD. Would be nice if someone here could help me.
greets!

afaik there are no 1.7x RUU's out.
the 1.7x was just a FOTA of the older 1.3x .
just get your (branded/notbranded) RUU of the 1.3x .
should be fine though.

I m sure you won't want to get back to stock after you get your hands on custom roms
But anyways you ll find 1.72.xx RUU here: http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/
Plus you ll have a backup of your stock ROM before you flash a new rom. So should not be any problem anyway.

Where can I find the Desire S GSM ROM for the Desire GSM?

Unbranded/Unlocked/Stock/Rooted HTC Desire GSM with Froyo
That's all really.
I don't want to move away from HTC Sense (even though I hear Cyanogenmod is very good) but would like the latest version of HTC Sense and Gingerbread. A few questions please:
1. Where can I find the Desire S GSM ROM for the Desire GSM? With installation instructions. I've already rooted.
2. I take it this is the best HTC Sense ROM to install? HTC Sense 3 (HTC Sensation) looks to be in it's infancy.
3. Will this ROM allow me to remove some of the preinstalled bloatware so I can install more apps?
Reasons for wanting to upgrade:
1. Increase storage, so I can install more apps. I'm always running out of storage.
2. Increase battery life.
3. Latest HTC Sense + Android.
Thanks

I should add:
1. I've tried searching but it drew a blank. All I could find was stock Desire S ROMs. I don't have a Desire S, so am guessing these won't work on my Desire.
2. I've never installed an Android ROM before, please bare that in mind when replying but have rooted my HTC Desire without trouble and also years ago installed TomTom on a cheap Chinese (Windows CE) satnav, again without much trouble.
Thanks.
p.s. - Apologises for posting this in two forums, it's not exactly clear which is the correct forum. Please delete whichever thread is in the wrong place.

There isn't a decent Desire S ROM available, better looking at a Desire HD one (or my normal Desire 2.3.3 ROM )

Well you are right when thinking you can't use the desire s roms, as they need to be fitted to the hardware.
And if you want more space, i will suggest you stay on stock desire rom, as desire s roms fills quite a bit more. You should start looking at some a2sd scripts instead(those are also used to make desire s rom fit into desire).
If you want the new sense and gingerbread, we have a forum just for roms(development) in there you will find 1 thread for every rom. The one you will be searching for is "rcmix s" and yes as eddyos states try to go with desire hd instead.

Thanks for this Eddy. Can you point me to the link or what to search for?
It looks like you're running an HTC Desire HD ROM with Gingerbread. I'm pretty sure the Desire HD officially still runs Froyo. Cool.

Thanks for this Mortenmhp. I'll have a look, instead of muddying the water in this thread.

Got it thanks. It sounds like I want the Desire HD ROM instead. Does that have the same version of HTC Sense as the Desire S? I thought it was newer again, no?

I'm not running a DHD ROM - I'm using an original Desire 2.3.3 ROM
Look for SuperDuperAwesomeROM in ROM Development if you wanna look

Funnily enough I've just been looking at that thread. If I was to flash a new ROM, I'd definitely want the newer HTC Sense and Gingerbread. Any idea where I can find the ROM for this (I'm guessing Desire HD)?
Cheers

[Q] Root needed for Official HTC Desire RUU ROM

Hi,
I have HTC Desire HD mobile, with official HTC RUU ROM, I would like to root this device without losing this official release. Can anyone help Me in this?
As previous I installed other ROM, Revolution 7.1 , but My Camera Result was disturbed which I liked the most in DHD, so I revert it, and now I wanted root access in this Official Release,
as Ace kit is not working for this version, and force me to downgrade it first.
Advance thanks to you guys.
