How long did it stay on this screen for? Getting a bit worried! :(

Mine took 2 minutes, but as above don't worry because you can reflash.

Finally got mine setup as wanted. Haven't quite found the wallpaper I want, but it'll do for now!

Hey guys, I noticed today that the H icon on my phone only appears when I do something that uses data, otherwise it stays 3G. The area I was in has HSDPA coverage so is this normal behaviour? Network is Orange if it makes a difference.

Also, is it possible to root the hboot version 0.92 yet?

OK, mine was on there for about 30 minutes before I got bored and turned it off, it would do the animation then the screen would blink and it would do it again and again.

Think I will start afresh, but I didn't back up my original ROM - does anyone have a link to a standard ROM so I can try again.

I've tried this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256 - but it didn't work, there a message on the phone saying "Main version is older! Update Fail!"

Thats how it works :)

No idea about 0.92 tho!
 
Think i read somewhere that unrevoked can now root the desire without having to downgrade the hboot thing. can anyone confirm?

Also,if i root,can i then go back to offical HTC Sense rom to get official upgrades? say when android 3.0 comes out.
 
yup- confirmed. it just rooted my stock (albeit unbranded) ota updated 2.2 desire with no problems. win!

i knew it'd be done eventually. :D

it went through a few more reboots than i remember, but thats mentioned on the unrevoked more info website.

Nothing on mine either. :mad:
Must be HTC's fault again, obviously not going to be Orange filling my phone with unsolicited crap that I neither want nor can I delete that is causing the delay...

Yes I rooted using unrevoked 3.21. And you can use stock Roms (there are some around), or simply take a nandroid backup of your phone before you do anything.

So bland without HTC Sense and HTC widgets :(

Only 5 home screens would wind me up as well :mad:

I tell you what actually, the auto-completion in Android is way better then Sense. Completing a word gives you the space after it, and you can hit punctuation and it will place it properly, eg without a space after the last word.

That's nothing to do with Sense is it? You are comparing the Android keyboard to the HTC 'Touch input' one. I'm using a Sense based ROM and always change over to use the stock Android input method for this very reason.
 
I've been prompted to install an update on my OTA 2.2 sim-free Desire, this was the update that was pulled because of a bug. Is it safe to use now?
