I've just picked up an old HTC Desire and fancied flashing some custom roms and having a little tinker. I've read all the tutorials but have hit a wall when it comes to obtaining root. Unrevoked and Revolutionary seem to be dead. The download links are gone.
What's my best plan of attack?
TIA
You will have to wait... a forum member asked for a permision to post download links but no one answered yet...

actually i dont want to downgrade........is ther any way to root use one click application......like super one click or like that app........please help
You will have to downgrade in order to root. Once downgraded you can then upgrade again.
Now, PLEASE, pretty PLEASE, use the search box, read the dev forum.
Question asked and answered.
thank you guys for your help......now i have downgraded my dhd to 1.32 and rooted it.....but now the question is when i try to update it.....it shows my phone is updated......there is no update found.........so how can i update to 1.84 or higher........
You wait. It's not instant. READ THE FORUMS.
You will of course lose root if you update the ota. Curious to know why you bothered if this was your intention.
You will need radio s-off to avoid having to downgrade again after the update.

Hello everybody
i have installed the offical RUU... but i am not happy with it, no new functions which can be helpful.
Throw the update, everything is stock - apps, settings, NO root.
Has anyone a method to get S-OFF back?
please keep me informed.
Thanks 4 you replies!
Your best bet is Revolutionary.
Those guys of Alpharev & Unrevoked have teamed up and are working on a tool to root your phone.
Unfortunately the new HBOOT of our Desire, isn't supported yet.
Check this page every once in a while: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
Hope this helps
@ Pyr0wland learn one thing bro, Questions needs to be posted in Q/A section, cuz i dont see that you developing something

Go to HTC developer website. Search desire gingerbread official update, download it to pc, connect phone to pc via usb cable, start the downloaded file, wait 20-30 minutes. Done. Optional ( Now go to revolutionary website for rooting and s-off. )

So I managed to successfully root my HTC 530 but I'm not exactly sure with what software....don't ask
Anyway here is some info about it hopefully someone has some answers.
PS I would love some links to some ROMS y'all dig.
Thanks in advance

Ok,
Follow the instructions and download TWRP from HERE which is a more organized thread for the TWRP by Captain Throwback(awesome guy). Once TWRP is installed you can flash SuperSU and you'll have root.. That easy buddy.
There are no custom ROMs for the Desire 530 yet as I happen to be the only one developing one. Search/Browse around the Desire 530 forums here at XDA and you'll find all this information for yourself.
Also, if you read the OP for my SlimDesire thread you'll find a link to the SlimDesire Development Group on Google Hangouts which currently has over 15 members.
