Upgrading from HTC hero.

hi I'm getting a desire but don't understand the hboot and s-off. Can I not just flash roms from recovery like I do on my hero?? Very simple on hero.

Hboot is partition layout (to get most space for apps), and S-OFF is basically turning off the security which allows you for some advanced stuff like changing hboot for example. (you need to S-OFF just once, and then it's easy as going to recovery and flashing ROM's)

You can also flash ROM's without S-OFF or changing hboot but you will have less internal space, it's also easier to recover phone with S-OFF if something goes wrong.

Thanks. I should have s-off my hero then. Never had problems with memory I just moved apps to my SD card. It just seems complicated burning ISO images to disc etc and different hboots.
