no harm rooting ur phone, it's easy to do it now btw. u dont need to be afraid that u cant flash the official froyo rom which is coming up soon, coz u still can flash the rooted version of original(official) froyo rom later on that enhances the features of ur phone.

Hi, i'm a new user of HTC Desire!
Jus to ask where can i get the hardcase n thumbprintless protector??
Mine share sum info over here ^^ thx alot!!

argh....... i m checking for Froyo update everyday.  i am running out of space now.  gotta remove loads of apps.  when is froyo coming OTA????

Most places out of stock. Even during the PC Fair at Penang. No stock. Got to wait a week for stock to arrive.
Huge demand I guess.

Hari raya is coming.

Just make sure you grab this RUU if yours is Maxis set, then no gold card is required
RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.6_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_rel_124362.exe

Want to use Paul's ROM as it is highly rated but people are talking about waiting for "MCR" or "R7" whatever that means...

r7 = version currently is r6
kitchen = is their online kitchen whereby you can customize and bake the ROM.
MCR = modaco custom ROM ? This 1 I not sure.

MCR, R6, R7 and .......is all the version of different rom they create......
previous leak Froyo was build up to version r6, so for the official froyo the mod will be named as r7......
kitchen is a place where you can bake your own rom, which mean you can decide what application you want in the rom and what you dont want.....
you can throw application like stock, pluck, calculator and so on that come with the stock rom which you dont use...
you can also add application that you like inside the rom so that they will automatic install once you flash the rom..

Rooting is basically getting admin/superuser rights to your phone. You want to do this so that you can make changes like:
-Installing custom ROMs
-Update to Froyo
-etc.

Just a summary of what I did for those who are still unsure:

① Root your phone
Super simple steps as compiled by one of our forumer :

②Back your data up
Titanium works only on rooted devices so pls root 1st
Tedious but I've used Titanium Backup.
If anyone has a better alternative, pls suggest
Download ⇒ http://matrixrewriter.com/android/files/TitaniumBackup.apk

③Partition your SD Card for A2SD+ (if required)
XDA Source: http://bit.ly/aDcIIu
Scroll down to "Partitioning your SD Card ready for A2SD+"

④Flash ROM
XDA Source: http://bit.ly/atQLUp
Scroll down to "How to flash ROM"

⑤Flash Radio (if required)

I think you should safely set 2hrs aside to finish all these steps, but it depends on your download speeds for all the ROM/Radio/apps/programs required for the steps above.

Thanks~ Just centralising info for everyone's easy reference
Yep, maxis set.

Forgot who asked but I got my 16gb Class 4 for Rm125 @ Digital Mall.

First of all, make sure your phone is fully charged.
Having your battery die on you halfway flashing will quite certainly brick it.
