There's supposed to be an option to select an alternative image...
How about clicking File and selecting Custom Recovery... (or Ctrl + R)
Get Rom manager from market

Hi my wife has a desire and I have done my best to clear data and move apps to SD but she now only has 4mb left. Dose this mean its time to root. The only bit I am interested in is having the same software she has now but being able to move all apps like maps and Facebook to SD. Can I do this and save all the data and stuff set up like contact etc on her phone. What is the best and most reliable guide to use and is it easy for a first timer to do?

You can install a custom Sense ROM which will give you the same software. Look in the development section for Gingerbread 2.3 stock ROMs. Rooting is as easy as it gets on a Desire. All you need is UnrEVOked, Google it and it's a one click job.

If I root can I then move all apps to SD? To do this do I have to install a custom Rom.

Well, there are a lot of answers to that simple question. You can use Clockwork Recovery which is installed when you root (access it by turning the phone off and holding volume down and the power button, then using the volume rocker and volume keys to select Recovery) find create EXT partition on the SD card 1 gig will be fine, and get a ROM with data to SD, which will dump all apps to the SD card. You can even dump the whole System onto your SD card giving you ~ 900mbs internal memory.
So I have to root then install a custom Rom to make more space and move all apps. Can you recommend a good reliable Rom and if poss a good guide.

Download UnrEVOked follow it though, and you'll have root, I'll have a look and see if I can find a suitable ROM for your needs.
ROMs are very subjective, don't let people tell you this one is better than that one, it's all a matter of opinion. I am just anticipating people posting to tell you try this and that and the other.
Post back when you are done and I'll show you what I've found.
Sorry for the silly question, do download to my pc or phone?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Download to your PC. You'll need to connect your phone via USB to run it.
MIUI is pretty good
I quite like Redux too , fantastic battery life with that one !
Right, have a look at InsertCoin Sense 2.1.1.1.0 A2SD.
it's a direct link to the download, download it and connect your phone, transfer the .ZIP file over to your SD card.
Once you're done you'll need to power off the phone, hold volume down and the power button, let Fastboot load, using the volume rocker select Recovery with the power button.
The most important thing you can see here is 'Nandroid' or 'backup and restore' as it's now called. Click it and backup your ROM, It will save the entire phone as it is, texts, apps, calls everything. So if anything goes wrong you can just simply go into Recovery and 'Restore' and bobs your uncle it'll all be back to normal again.
After doing that, using the trackball select 'Advanced' at the bottom of the Recovery Menu, then 'Partition SD Card', they say 512mbs is fine, but if you've got the space go for a 1 gig partition with zero swap file if your prompted for one, I don't think Recovery asks you for one. All your system apps and future downloaded apps will be stored here.
Then go to 'Wipe data/factory reset' on the main Recovery page, it'll wipe your phone back to stock, then clear the cache which is the option underneath. After this is done go to 'Install zip from SD card' give it a few mins and it'll install and you'll be back at the Recovery main screen, click 'Reboot system now'.
First boot can take, they say, up to ten minutes (it never does) so give your phone a few minutes to boot up and get settled. Then voila, you've got apps that will auto install to the EXT3/4 partion created on the SD card and you'll have a shed load more internal space.
Thanks, ill give it a go in the next few days and let you know how I get on.

One last question, I understand the back up In case things go wrong but if I just install the Rom and all is good I take it I will lose for example, texts and contacts etc. I'll have to set up my phone like I just got it out of the box.

It may sound a bit daunting but root is really as simple as one click. Recovery is easy to 'master' and ROM flashing is a breeze. You'll wonder why you didn't look into beforehand when you're all up and running.
There are some really nice apps for rooted users as well, Set CPU to overclock, Root Explorer is the best file explorer, LCD Density will change your resolution Titanium backup for backing up apps if you ever need to reset the ROM. Look into them all, most I would say are essential.
Do let us know how to get on.

You will yes, you can save contacts to SIM of course but you will loose everything else, all game saves, settings and the like. This is where Titanium backup comes in handy it will save all apps and their save states making changing ROM or hard resetting much less painless.
It's a pain loosing everything to start with, I know I've done it a few times, but Titanium is a mans best friend and there are loads of apps that will save SMS, I don't know if they actually require root to run though, that would be ironic, lol.
Do I want the Rom with [desire] on it?

You have to root and have clockwork mod (install with the app rom manager in the market after rooting) and install a custom rom

First you need to root. Use one click root 3.0.1.0. Then, you new to flash a deodexed rom. Then install a theme.

Go to youtube and search for qbking77. He does very helpful tutorials and reviews for the Epic. He has several videos showing step by step how to install themes, among other things.

I have been experiencing problems with Giopro v 1.6 for a while, which is that when I want to enter the phone and use an app suddenly all the icons of the apps (not the systems apps such as Gmail, settings etc) are changed to a same type. At this moment I can't use any apps and have to restart the phone.
Any suggestions on how to avoid this, or even an update to Giopro??
thanks

I use Link2sd, and it works well, so far.
When it happens I can't open any apps, except the Settings (other system apps icons are showing but didn't try them), all the apps I have installed is not functioning after it happens.
I want to flash back the stock rom and I have already made a backup before I flashed in Giopro.
Can I use Odin to flash the rom without going in CWM mode? The reason is the phone has difficulty reading from the sd card.
The back up is as two folders, I previously made by CWM.

Try going into download mode, not recovery. Sd card isnt needed for that.
Use;
Power button, home button and volume down button at the same time when your phone is off, and then connect to pc and flash with odin

Hey Guys.
So i just rooted my Galaxy S3 and I am trying to install Clock Work Recover Mod in ROM Manager but there is not option for my phone.
Which one should I pick?
Thanks!
Kill the app, open, look again. If still not there, reboot, look again. It will show up, sometimes it does that, but trust me AT&T SGS 3 is there.

Get Goo Manager, open it, hit the menu button and tap install open script recovery. It will download and install TWRP, much better than CWM IMO.
