Sorry but ive got a pretty nooby question. If you want a rom like the Viper rom, Do you need to root youre device to use that ROM?
Yes. There is no way to flash a rom without unlocking the bootloader rooting the phone and on most devices flashing a custom recovery.

Well if you want viper ROM, your gonna have to port it too lol. We don't have it for primo yet, maybe soon. Don't try to install one from incredible, you could very easily brick your phone.

The ROM that comes with the phone. Did you get your phone subsidized through a carrier with a contract? Trying to wrap my head around why you are nervous about rooting.

Welcome to XDA devs. You'll find that most of the development forums have "sticky" posts at the top that will explain not only the rules (you'll see one applies to you already) and standards, but also some helpful "noob" guides to get you started.
From your initial question (and follow-ups) it appears you're brand new to android. That's cool, we all were once. Do yourself a favor and do about an hour of reading--straight reading--before asking any more questions. This is not an insult, it will be much faster than asking, waiting for a response, then asking another question ad infinitum.
Finally, specifically to your question: most of what happens here on XDA devs requires unlocking your bootloader and rooting; if you're not comfortable with doing that, this probably won't be the best forum to you. Again, no offense intended. Your fears are well-founded: you could break your phone if you don't understand what you're doing. That said, I'm pretty much computer illiterate, but have had a great deal of success around here by just reading, reading, reading.... and then following directions in the posts (and there's many posts in which people give fantastic step-by-step directions.
So good luck, search the forums, read the forums, and ask questions once you've tried something and it's not working the way you expected. And have fun!

Actually they are all kidding you. You don't need to root to have a rom..

They're right, you don't need to root to flash a ROM. In fact, most if not all custom ROMs are pre-rooted. I'm suggesting you read first to understand what "root" really means; once you have the basics down, the idea of messing with your phone won't seem nearly as frightening.
BTW- another thing about XDA: click the "thanks" button in addition to saying thanks in your comment.
I ported one Viper rom. It was very laggy due to the overclock default of the rom with Screen off, and bulkyness in size.
You DONT need to root your device to use a rom, but you NEED to unlock the bootloader.
There goes your loophole.
So i have to unlock bootloader and recovery and thats it?

Your carrier should provide you a replacement. If you want to fix it yourself, root and follow the guide, but if it turns out to be a hardware fault, you will have to pay for repairs, cause your warranty will be gone when you root it.

You can not root on-device with HBOOT >= 0.7x. And yes, I am ninety nine ****ing percent sure it's NOT usb-brick.

If you HAD root before usb bricked, panicked and went back to stock, there is a chance to solve this without servicing the phone.
Just browse my threads, there is a one starting with "Any chance...". I can't seem to grasp how to link with this app
However if usb stopped working on an unrooted stock rom, chances are this is not an usb brick, and you will need to service the phone anyway.
Just be careful, read everything before attempting, and mind that there are different Desire models.
Good luck

Well there is no ready solution, but you can get temp root access without any problems, and hboot has nothing to do with that (just the Linux kernel version).
Contrary to popular belief the exploit needed to get root access just relies on enabled usb debug and not actually having the phone connected to a pc via usb.

Which tutorial did you read? Try the noob one. Flashing custom ROM and custom kernel will help you play games smoothly even without overclocking. Once you have successfuly unlock bootloader and install custom recovery, you can freely install custom ROM which is extremely fun

Here's qbking's video on how to root on jb:

Just make sure you read, read, read. And your prl, being on Boost, will not change. And as long as you have a jb modem(gb27, gb28, or gc01), you'll have data. But if you flash a Sprint rom you'll have to research how to change mmsc in order to send mms. To avoid that, if your wife wants stock, flash a GC01(Boost) rom after you root. Here's mine, deodexed, debloated, and since it's stock, you can build it up to your wife's liking. Good luck, happy flashing:thumbup:

By the way, if you flashed the phone to Boost you're better off just keeping a stock Boost ROM handy.
That way you're not having to mod the MMS settings to get it to work right.
From there you can pick up a custom kernel/recovery and flash away.
(I personally recommend mine but there are others to choose from...)
Welcome and enjoy!
