Thanks for such a fast reply.

1. I think is SLCD. No mention of AMOLED on the box. Also got slight yellowish tinge (not bluish like AMOLED shown on youtube)

2. Titanium backup...doesn't this require root access first ? ie, the dilemma is how to back up before root ?

3. So, if win7 64bit and SLCD device the rooting process is different, does it mean higher risk of bricking the phone ? Or does it mean the method just won't work and the phone remains like original ?

4. Modaco R8 ? Why would u recommend this ? Is Leedroid any good ? I like to have the original Sense UI.

Regards and thanks again.

1. SLCD then.

2. Root first only you backup. Root won't change anything to your phone but just add in superuser permissoin.

3. The process I already posted up above. Win 7 64bit might face problem as unrevoked just can't recognize mine.

4. Modaco r8 need to pay. It do come with Sense UI. LeeDroid no idea. Don't really bother too. Only tried CM rc2, NextSense and Modaco. CM rc2 and Modaco the best.

It's says can't load the recovery image. Is it I have to download a spearate file for recovery. FYI my desire already upgraded to 2.2 via manual OTA. Hboot 0.92. So i;m not sure if my device can be root. It's a AP set.

I might be wrong on this as I never deal with locked set.

If you can use here, it should be unlocked already.

In order to have FroYo, you can try rooting. It won't cause the phone to lock.

Do you even tell you already update to Official FroYo ? doh.gif
Don't blame me as you didn't mention it clearly. I just mentioned it can be root using unrevoked method. If I know you're running on HBOOT 0.92, I won't even ask you to try as it won't works.

Further on that ? Downgrade to 0.80 which is a hell lots of work.

Just don't update the radio. It might locked back as most Orange UK set tend to lock back the set.

Found this tutorial to downgrade from 0.92 to 0.80.

Unless you can find another simpler method yourself, else, this is the only way to go.

ok, since the "stupid bird fly first".... I will save some trouble for you.  laugh.gif

Nope, the rooting and flashing went all smooth yesterday, it is just the restore from Titanium backup that fail. So I will advise you to copy the entire SD card to your computer first thing first.  But some apps like Note Everything actually store the data ON the phone but it auto backup to SD Card (luckily).  I only knew this after I did the partition on the card and wipe out all data on the card and phone.  rclxub.gif

So the basic step:
1.  Root the phone with unrevoked (need to uninstalled HTC Sync and install Hboot driver first), you can skip the Amon Ra recovery.
2.  Install Titanium Backup and do a full backup - all apps and all data.
3.  Flash NextSense rom.
4.  Flash Radio. (i did not restart/reboot after flashing rom, I did both flashing then only reboot)
5.  Reboot/restart.
6.  Find/Install ClockworkMod Rom Manager in Market. Do a ext2 partition and cache with it.  (I did 512mb ram and 256mb cache.)
7.  Install Titanium backup - choose INSTALLED apps and data you want to restored.  A full backup will cause a lot of problem coz i think the restore try to restore back the old system files, so you will get a very unstable system - force close everywhere.  rclxub.gif

I hit the wall on step 7 when I did a full restore.  So at the end I pull the battery and did a full wipe out of the whole phone - get back what I have after step 5 - a clean phone.  Then i installed my apps one by one manually.  But i checked Titanium backup and notice I can actually restore some of my data - sms, some apps data like SplashID, wi-fi settings, etc.  You just need to choose carefully what to restore.

wahh.. thanks bro cynox ~ hahaha... i'm more confident already !! rclxms.gif
wanna as question... so if my pc never install HTC Sync...
do i have to Install it and then remove the HTC Sync ??
cus yesterday i tried, after i install the HTC Sync, i get 2 app > HTC Sync , HTC Driver something

So first thing first... if my pc doesn't have HTC Sync installed.. do i have to
1. Install HTC Sync, Remove HTC Sync and then remain HTC Driver thing

2. Don't need install HTC Sync, straight root the phone with unrevoked

oo.. where can we see the Amon Ra recovery ?? never saw that before... is it when rooting process it got selection of "Amon Ra Recovery" ??

another question is :
I saw someone said that i need to remove HTC Sync and then remain the HTC Driver thing... after i finish root + flash.. do i have to reinstall HTC Sync ??
or the HTC Sync is useless thing?? if i didn't use it to sync any data between pc and phone ??

Can unrevoked used in win 7 32 bit ? biggrin.gif
since KTCY said he failed to do it in win 7 64..
but i saw someone in the forum said they success in rooting in win7 64bit
