I started a few threads about what I found while disassembling the SPL a while back, but I never got any reply...

I also recently got a USB<->UART converter, and tried to get a serial port, but with no luck (tried to hook it like on the Nexus One) : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=625434
If the desire works like other recent HTC desire, I think what we need to do is :
- find a serial port
- switch the port to radio command prompt (rtask 7 or 8)
- issue the AT@SIMLOCK=7,0 command
Another problem is that for the AT@SIMLOCK command to be accepted, we might need to get the RADIO password or key, to be able to do a challenge-response authentication (according to info found in "Technical" section of http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes).
Also, I think that it's highly unlikely for the Jtag to be available through the USB port, as suggested in this thread : there simply aren't enough pins.

One question, to those that have access to the dump:
I guess the SPL is identical to those found in the RUU.
What about the Radio image ? The one in the RUU is 25MB, and has some "structure" metadata (headers, magic numbers...). Does the memory dump structure look identical to the RUU radio image ? or are parts mapped differently in ROM ?

I haven't got the dump yet, but the SPL looks identical to the stock one.
You should PM kubino99 for the full dump of the phone files.
1) the SPLs are identical
2) I made a quick look at the part in NAND and it's mapped differently.
IEF and others are working on assembling a JTAG cable - we're pretty sure it runs through the headphone port, not the micro USB. They're definitely working for the AT@SIMLOCK option.
Yeah, I had a very quick look at the Desire kernel sources, and I think I read something about serial debugging and jack35, but I haven't looked closer or poked at it yet.
here is a recovery image i had created for htc desire
if u all can get it working before my exams awesome

You might contact benocharm too, he also bought a Desire and says on Twitter: I'm not a big fan of the current rooting method for Desire, will try to find other ways thats easier and better!

Regarding the location of the JTAG connector, I would put my money on the group of 6 test points on the top right corner of this picture : http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/1793/1004272019e391d7a023250.jpg
My guess is that a Serial / UART port might be available through the 3.5mm jack.
toastcfh rooted the evo 4g ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=690762 ).
He may help with some hints. Maybe the way to hack it is similar.

So far no news. I'll update the first post, if there are any. Be patient.
