Easy root for the Desire?

Hi,
I see the Evo has a simple root process with a program now ( XDA News on main page ), just wondered if anyone is working on a similar program for the Desire as i'm a bit nervous of rooting my phone with the current method, thanks.

There really is nothing to be nervous about! There used to be problems with older methods, but the new method now is virtually foolproof.
Give it a try and if you get stuck or panic then post here for help.
Simple things to remember are follow the steps in whatever guide you use, and let the process finish, be patient as sometimes things look like they are stuck, but they are not!
There is virtually no risk in rooting the Desire now.

Step-by-step instructions.. can't really go wrong

Rooting Questions

What is the correct thread to follow on XDA with regards to rooting an HTC EVO?
I actually purchased one and have been reading that the older rooting threads are outdated.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you.

look in my signature. i can help you out with it too, if you like. it is sort of confusing, but not very hard at all, and by the end, you will be a pro already.
if you want to take the easy (wimpy) way out then use www.unrevoked.com you will learn nothing and probably have problems later bcuz u know nothing but you will be rooted.

you have been told "what to do" show some pride, suck it up and read.
it is super simple.
if you do not understand then stop or you will be worse off.
just read you will be surprised how easy it is

I love it when someone is handed detailed instructions then asks for instructions again.

first of all i'm not a dude, second i did the guide of the rooting, i managed to do everything but there's a stage where the option doesn't appear in the recovery section. All i ask is for help. If you don't intend to help then don't bother replying.

Plug phone into USB, turn on debugging mode, run revolutionary, enjoy root.
Honestly, it's that simple. The people on here that are telling you that you "shouldn't bother rooting" if you have to ask this question are not saying that to be rude at all. It's a simple fact that rooting gives you privileges to sensitive system files that, if you dont know what you are doing and can't follow simple step by step instructions, can cause you to do extreme damage to your phone such as bricking. Again, it's a very simple process that you will be repeating very often while flashing various ROMs, kernels, and radios. If you aren't comfortable enough following the millions of step by step guides here on the forums then, for your phone's safety, you shouldn't be rooting. Keep reading the guides, scour the forum for the billion of other posts like yours, and then root AFTER you understand the ENTIRE process start to finish. I know you're eager to root your phone but such sensitive things should not be done without full understanding.
Again, nobody is trying to be rude to you at all. It's just that those of us more experienced in the subject know what can happen when inexperienced people try to blindly root, and subsequently flash, a bunch of stuff on their phone. Please try to take a step back and understand this.

Did you download the fastboot drivers and make sure HTC sync is not installed on your computer?

[Q] Rooting my T-mobile Samsung GS4.

I am new to Android, I was a iPhone user before and I am loving my Samsung Galaxy so far. And I want to learn more about customizing my android phone. So I heard about rooting, but when I did the research about rooting it is so complicated because there's lot of ways to root it. I just want to know the easiest way and I want to know what can I do after I root it.

Cant tell you whats easiest since I havent tried them all, but i used chainfires root method here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005
and then used the goomanager app to install TWRP recovery.
after rooting you basically have full access to your phone and get to flash custom roms which all have different benefits, along with being able to use powerful apps that need root access. Titanium backup is a must have also.
using the above method I got everything including a rom installed in under 20 min on my first try..

Find what baseband you are using.. Settings->About Phone... It will either be M919UVUAMDB or M919UVUAMDL. Once you have determined which baseband version you are running, try typing the last 3 letters of the baseband version (MDB or MDL) and the word "root" into the search box in the Q&A section. Read the 1st page or two of a few of the posts until you ascertain which rooting method is the correct one to use. Once you determine what method to use, you can browse/search the General section and/or Development sections for whichever rooting method you decide. Read the first post to get an idea of how to do it, then root. It is not complicated as, aside from the downloading part, each of the what... 4 root methods for the S4 are pretty much point and click..
As far as the "why," I'm fairly confident that in the fairly detailed search outline I laid out will be answers to why people root and things you can do once rooted. May not be listed as "You can do this, this, this, and this." In fact, probably be more like "I want to do *something*. Do I need root?" -> Answer: "Yes."
