Anyone rooted an HTC Desire?

Postby samtheeagle » January 24th, 2011, 1:16 pm

As my scroll is happy about me using the market, I was thinking no probs, I'll just get stuff on my Desire and copy them over. But of course to get access to the apk files that I have downloaded I believe I need to root my phone? I'm a bit more nervous about this than I was with the scroll, as the phone is considerably more expensive! Unrevoked3 seems to be the weapon of choice.

Any first hand experiences to share?

Heres a thought.... if your Desire is rooted does that give you access to the system updates that we download? Could we in theory use them to update to Android 2.2 and 2,3? /offtopic

Good luck with rooting the Desire, I would be equally nervous about bricking my phone!

You can try Astro file manager which backs up APK's to the SDcard, you shouldn't need to root it. See this thread: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=401

Steve, you are a LEGEND! Thanks soooo much for this :D

Sorry to the others who wanted me to root the phone, but apparently I don't need to!

Never rooted my Desire, I think i'm gonna wait until the warranty is up! Besides, I don't class my Desire as a tinkering device.

Thats what the Scroll is for!

Not that you need it now, but I do know of someone who's rooted their Desire with no problems (they are now running an unofficial Android 2.3 build)
