help with orange uk rooting

---

Evening one and all...
Am looking for some help with rooting my Orange UK HTC desire. Have tried many times to root the device but as the radio keeps gettin upgraded I keep gettin the network locked message once rebooted.
Can.someone please give me detailed instructions on how to root the device without upgrading the radio as I really don't have a clue. Have managed each time to downgrade the radio and flash back to generic rom, am however wanting to root the device.

Many thanks for any advice you can give me.
Danny ;)

are you trying to root or unlock your fone? even if you root and debrand your desire it will still be simlocked to orange

Just want to root it mate. Not interested in unlocking as I am on Orange and not planning to change.
Cheers mate

easy way to root

1) download this file http://www.mediafire.com/?hzeke0niozm

2) copy file to sd card

3) put sd card in fone

4) put fone in recovery

5) choose flash zip from sd card

6) pick rootedupdate.zip

its how i rooted my official rom so it should work and if you downgraded it should defo work with older bootloader versions

You'll need to use a goldcard root an orange branded desire, without it, the flash will fail.

Follow Paul's r6 method from http://desire.modaco.com its the easiest way possible IMO.

He must already have a goldcard if you look as he says he has already downgraded to a generic rom

Just look for a ROM that states 'no radio's in the title, that way it'll keep your current working radio.
