ok thanks for the info. I downloaded the froyo (tmobile uk) update before i dropped it and then changed the screen for an AMOLED but the screen was just dark. how would i get the newest bootloader?
Thanks guys
Except means if you use unrevoked3 you won't need a gold card, but for ever other methode you would need it.
So safe time and just root with unrevoked3, no need for a gold card.
Oh ok, that's even better then...I assume then that unrevoked doesn't sim lock the phone and any updates won't mess the phone up? Sorry for the questions...just trying to get my head around all the information on this site
Hi
I have ploughed through this thread and confused myself. I have an orange uk locked desire: hboot 0.93 0001.
It just received the 2.2 ota update which completed successfully.
Can I root this using the unrevoked method without a goldcard?
If not which method do you advise? Do I need to downgrade?
Any advice most welcome - thanks

Mate...do it. I have a locked desire and I did it the other day and it works fine...no need for goldcard. Uunrevoked works like a charm. Still not had a chance to put a custom Rom yet. Speaking to s couple of people on this site, the newer radios don't lock the desire either.
Hi,
I see the video about unrooting htc desire, but i have one question, n this video the unrooting procedure is done with windows pc and HTC sync utility. There is any way to get HTC desire unrooted from linux ( maybe directly from .zip like when you flash new custom rom ) ?
