officially i have rooted with Unrevoked, on custom rom now. trying out De-Villian. so far so good, on thing is the app installed in SD, might take a longer time to open (1-3 sec slower compare with in phone memory).

u just download the installer and press one button is it when using Unrevoked root method? u installed custom ROM oso using the unrevoked program? sorry NooB at this..where do u get the custom ROM from? xda is it? must become a member then only can download rite?

ROMs are relatively large files (60-100MB). So developers tend to use file sharing services (like rapidshare, megaupload, etc) or use their own servers to host them. Very rarely you'll see ROMs hosted on XDA itself (RUU and stocks ROMs are the exceptions). In other words, you dont need to be an XDA member to download Custom ROMs. You just need to go there to get the links.

er.... Noob? me too

Just follow the guide here @ hxxp://myhtcdesire.com/

you can get the rom @
xda is free, donation accepted just signup.
Modaco, is free and donation to get latest and the online kitchen function.

Really tempted to use Unrevoked method.. arghh

Anyone with Maxis set already rooted? Huhu.

So tempted to root. Been waiting for Froyo for ages now But worried about warranty though. Anyone here have rooted but still successfully sent for warranty?

And anyone had problem sending SMS to multiple targets? I keep getting message undelivered and had to do it multiple times.

I have the same problem sometimes, and if the message got split into 2 parts or more it happen as well. Have to try several times. A bit annoying yea?

Yea, thats what i have been facing so far when sending to multiple targets or a long SMS. Gonna use HandCent and see whether the same problem occurs or not.

there are few ppl with maxis set rooted already. pluginbaby is one of them

Latest Official Froyo ROM with HBOOT 0.87 ?
Good luck. You might not able to root in future as there isn't any rooting method available yet

I guess that's normal

@all, go go... its so easy! beside, you can always undo it, no worries about the warranty! was Bit afraid during the first reboot, as its taking so long to boot to the custom rom, like stuck @ the HTC screen.....

Play play with different rom first, then get the cyanogen's rom. i saw that rom @youtube in action and its looks tasty!

Not sure but I feel modaco custom rom more promising

Haven't used Spirit Jailbreak, but once you've done Unrevoked you can install custom ROMs.

Not really one button. You have to install USB drivers in comp, uninstall HTC Sync, then the rest is done by the program. Flashing ROM is via the hp itself. I believe the procedure to flash custom ROMs is standard, read it up.

Mine is from Maxis

Have the same problem here, whether using stock sms program or Handcent. If anybody finds a fix, pls let us know. I've search many websites for a solution and have found nothing!

The ROM i flashed is a rooted "official" Desire Froyo ROM. So it's rooted, that's how i got Market Enabler and paid apps. Head on to XDA for the details. Ppl say this is the most stable, bug-free froyo-sense ROM so far, since the original froyo ROM was from HTC themselves.

may i ask, what does it mean by kitchen feature in modaco ROM? u need to donate to use it rite? what does it do anyway?

If so, I guess know which ROM you refer to. Am following that thread since it's created on 1st day

You can cook your own ROM at modaco kitchen

agree, but gotta pay usd20+ to get Paul's rom. my paypal empty jor..

Hey guyz, any1 of using converter to convert videos n put into desire? If yes, can recommend? coz i try using RockPlayer sometimes d vids juz dont have sound

Just wondering, oh well, if you cook from modaco, it will download to your PC which enable you to share with your friends ?
Please don't report me for piracy. Just asking as not sure how it ROMs will go to. Will it be to phone straight ?

I think it's the same if you download the pre-cooked one right? Some people prefer to cook the roms themselves to add/remove stuff.

I guess so. As cooking the ROM myself definitely better as I can choose which to put in and which not to but of course a price to pay
