Noob, May have bricked my phone :(

---

Okay so i am in desperate need of help!
I wanted to root my desire. I have the telstra next g A8183 Desire, i attempted to root it using this method:
http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-...ur-htc-desire/

Only to find out it doesnt work because apparently my phone has a bootloader of 0.80.

So i used a method on Xda;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189

I used the method for rooting an unlocked desire, with a gold card.
I got almost to the end, up to the step;

"In the command prompt/terminal window, enter either 'step2-windows.bat', './step2-mac.sh' or './step2-linux.sh' as appropriate"

However, my zip i downloaded didnt contain "'step2-windows.bat'"
which now has lead me to a problem where i am stuck on the 'recovery' screen.

Please can anyone help me, im afraid ive bricked my phone

Follow exactly what it says in that XDA thread, ignore what is says in the nimbu thread and download what the XDA thread tells you to download, you should be goldcarded and rooted in about 20 mins (not kidding) as i did this last night (difference being i didnt need a goldcard)

but again follow the XDA stuff and ignore the rest for now

i cant actually get my phone past the boot screen, it just hangs..
so i cant follow those steps!

can you get into bootloader??

Vol- + Power??

yes, but i dont know what to do from there..

put your phone into the bootloader and start again/resume
no harm is done if you can get into the recovery screen
you are hanging because you have formatted your system, this is meant to happen
now you simply flash the rooted rom
download the files needed to root your phone from here and complete step 2

You took the words right out of my keyboard

i continue step 2 but i get an error message..

"Desire Root Step 2

Pushing required files to device...

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
error: device not found

Pushing update file to device sdcard - this may take a few minutes..

error: device not found
error: device not found

Now wipe and apply rootedupdate.zip from the recovery image menu."

Are the files already on the SD???

What happens when you procede onto wipe and applying rootedupdate.zip?

all i have is a blank sd card in there at the moment, because i had to wipe my gold card, i cannot connect it to make another one.

BUT i re ran step 1 and now its going through a completely different process.
im pretty sure its flashing now, its saying stuff like
INFO[RUU] UZ, radio 05..
INFO[RUU] UZ, system 100

does that mea its flashing properly?
