Some questions about Desire

Sorry for posting this please delete or relocate if this thread is in wrong location or breaks the rule.
I just bought Desire. The seller said it was AMOLED version but I think it's SLCD as there seems to have light at the edge and on the box doesn't say anything about AMOLED. Doesn't matter, it is not important.
But, hope someone can help me with these:
1- This unit is bought in Malaysia under original SiS warranty. I know rooting it will void the warranty, what I want to know is can I unroot the phone to its original condition later before I send it for warranty? If yes then where can I read the guide to do this and the method?
2- As I planning to root the phone, does AMOLED or SLCD makes a difference?
3- What is the preferred memory card capacity and speed? I mean, most people said 8gb/16gb class 10 is good but is it necesssary?
Thank you

2- yes! People bricked their phone due to having and slcd version! Check your hboot turn the phone off. Once everything is off press and hold volume down and tap power... wait youll see a menu 2nd line should say. Hboot something like 0.80 etc. Theres some useful threads in the dev section
Cant renenber the number) for me it never made a differance.. class 4 8gb was good enough for me never had to wait fot it load or anything

HBOOT/SLCD is irrelevent as once unrEVOked 3.2.x has been released you can root it with one program...as for going back to stock/unroot yo'll need to see if there's an RUU file of the ROM your Desire comes with.
To check what you're using at the moment (or when the phone arrives) go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post the information here. We can then advise

Thanks for the help guys

Right, it seems you've got the Asian ROM, and there's a FroYo ROM available...
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed.exe
That should work (if it asks for logins, username/password is shipped)

Thanks for the link. Am I just need to flash this ROM or should I follow the step as stated in the wiki?
So, before I flash my phone, just want to be sure again, how can I save a backup of my current ROM or where can I find a stock ROM in case I needed it later?
I still have 2 years warranty, so my understanding is that if I ever want to claim my warranty, I need to unroot the phone back to stock ROM before sending it over. Correct?
So, rooting the phone is not a problem for warranty right?
Thanks.

No the one Eddy is linking is the original rom. Just the froyo(2.2) version.
If you want to root you should look for a topic on it in the development section.
Btw. I believe the 0.83 hboot means you have got slcd screen please read on for faq about rooting slcd:

[Q] root android 2.2 hboot 0.93

Hello i have bought new htc desire.. Didnt know that i cant update software.. now my phone is:
Android version 2.2
Baseband version 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
Kernel version 2.6.32.15
Builld number 2.10.405.2
Software number 2.10.405.2
HBOOT 0.93.0001
Radio 5.09.05.30_2
Can you tell me please, can i have root permisions? was trying to do with teppic74 manual(forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256) but nothing happends..

That guide works fine IF you have an AMOLED screen...if not, which is likely, you'll need to wait for the final release of unrEVOked to be able to root...a quick search (as per forum rules) would've informed you of this
Why do you need to root anyway?

It works on any screen...

Was sure it did but read someone else saying it didn't on Android forums so thought I'd put it on. Seems OP isn't doing it right then

"nothing happends" isn't the best report I've ever had.
The downgrade tool will flash any bootable phone with a 2.1 stock ROM that works on both screens - it doesn't matter if the current ROM is rooted, custom, stock, broken, so long as it is bootable and the sdcard works.

I have the hboot 0.93.0001, can i root it using a goldcard ?

[Q] Please have mercy on a noob trying to root an EVO

I want to root my EVO so I don't have to pay $30 for WiFi... this is what I get when I try to load PC36IMG.zip:
Main version is older. Update Fail
screenshot here: img16.imageshack.us/f/imag0511.jpg
Yes I already updated to 2.2 does this mean I can't root now?
Extremely confused at this point...please help. Thank you.

One click root for evo

1. This should be in q&a
2. Welcome
3. Just use unrevoked its a program on ur computer that does it all for you.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

That's not true right now actually. Some of the Evo's that have been sold lately have a new H-BOOT image that hasn't been cracked yet. They are working on it though.

I'm guessing I'm one of those users with the new H-Boot image......
... since I followed the step by step method, and it doesn't seem to work. Considering I just got this phone today, I'm guessing I have the newer HBoot image on it. As for what happens, when I'm running the Unrevoked3 software, it gets through the recovery screen where you scroll down to HBoot USB then reboots back up the phone instead of writing the custom recovery.
Just in case this might help, my phone has the following software version:
Android Version 2.2
Baseband Version:
2.15.00.09.01
Kernel Version:
2.6.32.15-g0673ed

Software number:

PRL Version:

Any help you guys can provide would be much appreciated.

I found the HBOOT version when I pulled the battery, then pressed the power button and Down volume key at the same time to bring up the bootloader. It's at the top of the white screen.
Here is the link to thread where a couple devs are working on this and trying to get it into Unrevoked.

1. Think this should be in Q&A?
2. Can you say what is going wrong? Error message?? Brick??
I had problem too with installing new recovey via unrevoked, going from amon-ra to clockwork.. Had either message that it could'n enter Nand or that connection was lost previously.. Haven't solved it yet..
--> You could also try via terminal, see unroot topic above...
Good luck.

I couldn't get it to work for a while (I was already rooted & S-Off but I was trying to update ClockworkMod Recovery because my ADB wasn't working) eventually I managed to get it working by installing HTC Sync (even though it says not to). The new one wouldn't work at first but I found a link to an old version (2 I think) then updated to the newest version Got everything working now

ofcourse,
unrevoked says:
Internal error: installing package failed
Recovery image: ClockworkMod Recovery
But i believe that ROM manager, already has installed ClockworkMod Recovery athoug i don't have root acces yet
(already have ROM manager installed)

Maybe you don't have enough available space in internal memory. I also had the same problem and I was at 18 MB free space. I freed then some space and it worked, because it installs something temporary before the phone restarts.

that could be, I only have 14,93 mb of free space.
Going to try it know.

It worked, he is now rooted, i think
at least unrEVOked said it was done.
And ROM manager dosn't give the message anymore that it can't get root acces.
thank you
he is defintly rooted, already backup my current ROM.

i try it in the same way and i was having same configuration, First y downgraded to 2.1 stock and the work like charm unrevoked

nice! I'll try that too then!

A copy and paste from another thread I posted in not ten minutes ago.
Wrong forum, post in the Q&A section.
Read this.
And read THIS.
In short:
We are writing this because, like a lot of people, we constantly worry about the quality of posts on XDA. Some people suggest to us that quality has been deteriorating (or rather, the number of junk posts have been increasing), and honestly, maybe those people have a point.

Our first change is this: only users with 10 posts (or more) will be allowed to post to any development-related forum. Users with 9 or fewer will be able to read, but not post. This change will happen within the next week. We hope it will dramatically cut down on the crap.

i'm running the tool as suggested but when it get to the part when it need to pull the token it gives me an error:
... INFO[ERR] Command error !!!
any clue?

If your hboot is not 2.00.0029, you need to update it. Unlock bootloader is only working for the hboot with that version number.

moving forward - still can't downgrade

Doesnt matter what firmware it is if i am not mistaken. Just make sure that the hboot is updated to 2.00.0029.. there is a .zip file that will update the hboot somewhere in the forum.
