Do i have root now?

---

i made everything like in the tutorial for bootloader 0.80 but some of those went a bit diffrent... but i aint got no O2 scenes on my desire anymore
how can i check if i got it right rooted?

Do you have an app now called superuser?

no i dont got an app like that

I don't think you are rooted then. What steps went differently?

Try installing an app that needs root and see if it works.

Edit: try something like titanium backup.

ok. i aint got root. thanks. Next try

No worries. If you get stuck rooting post here and I'm sure between us all we'll have your phone running custom roms in no time!

now i really need help. so i tried to root with this guide
"Guide to root using Windows, MAC OS X and Linux

1. Download following items:
---- If you have a bootloader version 0.75.xxxx or below AND a current ROM of 1.15.xxx.x or below - DOWNLOAD / MIRROR
---- If you have a bootloader version 0.80.xxxx or below AND a current ROM of 1.21.xxx.x or below - DOWNLOAD / MIRROR
2. Unzip the file you downloaded to a directory, then open a command prompt / terminal window at that directory.
3. Turn off your HTC Desire, then turn it back on with the 'back' button held down. You'll see 'FASTBOOT' written on the screen in a red box. Connect the phone to the computer.
4. In the command prompt/terminal window, enter either 'step1-windows.bat'(for windows), './step1-mac.sh'(for mac) or './step1-linux.sh'(for linux)
5. Navigate to the 'BOOTLOADER' and then 'RECOVERY' option on the menu, using the volume buttons to move and the power button to select.
6. In the command prompt/terminal window, enter either 'step2-windows.bat', './step2-mac.sh' or './step2-linux.sh' as appropriate.
7. When this has completed, your device should be at the 'recovery'("green") screen. Select Wipe and then press Wipe data/factory reset
8. Once complete you should be back in the main menu. Now select the option Flash zip from sdcard and than choose rootedupdate.zip
9. Once back in the main menu, choose restart the phone - the rooting process is now finished

First of all i got bootloader 0.80XXXX and it was o2 branded germany. i got windows 7 32 bit. So first i made a Goldcard. then everthing went good. but at step 5 if i try to choose RECOVERY it takes me to the Red Triangle. So of course if i try 'step2-windows.bat' it does not work. Can u help me out?

What errors are you seeing? Make sure that you have HTC sync and the sdk installed.

ok now i made everything as i made it before... i had errors after step 5 .. but then it went good and i saw the green screen and made everything like in the guide. but i aint got an app with the name superuser. i installed busybox and titanium. what shall i do with titanium to know that i got root now?

For titanium to work your phone has to be rooted, so if it works then you are sorted!

What rom are you running? Go to Menu> About phone>Software information. What does build number say?
