I had this idea for a long time now. Questions and answers are scattered all over XDA now, so it can be difficult to find correct information even using search, as there are too many irrelevant search results.
So here is my idea. N00b friendly thread, where n00bs can ask ANYTHING. I hope that more experienced users will join me. If you have an answer and feel like helping poor n00b, just join in. If you want to abuse a n00b, well, i suppose you could create a thread called "abuse a noob" and do as you like there.
Ask ANY questions which are related to HTC Desire here guys. Battery, flashing, rooting etc. and we will try to direct you to place where you can find info or give you an answer if we know it. Do that instead of creating useless thread with just one question in it. Please, include as much detail as you can when asking something.
This is opportunity for peeps to ask questions without being sworn at, and for the helpers to earn their THANKS.
reserved in case thread successful and some faq is built.
I've just started a thread about having problems with flashing InsertCoin_GB_Sense2.1_CM7_1.0.3 ROM
My Desire is:
AlphaRev CM7
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.93.1000
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-4.06.00.02_2
My SD card is partitioned EXT4 (1GB)
I updated the Hboot to "PB99IMG_bravo_cm7" (PB99IMG.ZIP) found on alpharev.nl
After I wiped all data and cache, flashed the ROM...now I'm stuck at the "Why So Serious?" screen.
Thanks for opening this thread for noobs.

Have you tried flashing it again? What are your attempted fixes so far?
I flashed it for the second time now and I still have the same problem.
What do you mean by the attempted fixes?
Have you tried different recovery?

No. Can you give me the link to the best one?
Try 3.0.0.5. It worked for me - link in sig.
It's the same one I have.
I'm using amonra 2.0.0, and it's yet to give me any problems. I must admint i haven't tried flashing latest IC.
Now even when I try to restore the backup, it doesn't work...it still gets stuck in the "why so serious screen?"
I had a normal non custom htc sense before. Help please!
Here is a link to the ROM I used to have.

Why is the restore not working is it because of the AlphaRev CM7?
Yes.

1. You most likely are going to need 0.93 hboot, best way to do it to s-off and flash latest hboot. 2. Advantage is that you can flash different hboot and try data++/cm7 roms. Also this allows safer radio flash. S-on doesn't allow you to edit system folder when Rom is running, s-off does.
3. Look in rooting guide stickie, not much changed, you still need to use unrevoked.

Is the Insertcoin rom the right size for the cm7 hboot you are using?
If its too big you won't be able to boot it without changing the partition table.

Judging by the info he's given everything is ok.
Problem solved. I couldn't flash the ROM because I partitioned the SDcard with EXT4 directly from the computer, not via phone.
The ROM is working like a charm now. Thanks to you all for the help.
What's left now is which radio to Flash? and why? What are the advantages?

It has been s-off-ed, which is not the same thing with rooting, but it makes rooting much easier.
You need to install a custom recovery. Follow the instructions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751258
Then you need to either install a custom rom, or flash the super su flashable zip to root your current rom.

nops thats not for warranty purposes, My camera was working fine before rooting, But after root camera is not working on any of the avilable roms for HTC, I tried almost all roms. I sent the phone to be checked for the camera for hardware issues and they said its ok, So I decided to return to stock on which camera is working fine.

I tried telling you before, it's likely hardware.
You're already on stock ROM, even if you get it to S-ON I don't believe it will make a difference to the camera.
If you really need to get to S-ON, try flashing the downgrader manually using fastboot commands instead of android flasher. Set it up here You will know it works as it will say "Alpharev Unlock" at the top of the bootloader screen.
Then try the 2.3.3 RUU again.
If the camera still doesn't work, S-ON and stock ROM, then it's hardware related.

No, you DONT just rename an .img file to a .zip file. Download the PB99IMG_downgrade.zip from alpharev. Then rename that file to PB99IMG.zip. After that put it on the root of the sdcard, and boot into hboot. Wait a few seconds and it should ask you if you want to install. If it installs successfully run the 2.3 RUU.

Google for the website shipped-roms.com and then enter its android section, then buzz. Download a RUU that's either local to you or speaks your language.
Run it. The phone should flash the stock ROM, and radio. Only thing left is the hboot.
In order to stop htc overwriting our hacked hboots the alpha rev team set a higher hboot number. So you need to google for the fast boot command to return the htc wildfire hboot to s-on.
Then your good to go.
