[Tutorial] [GSM Only ATM] Rooting the Telus Desire
 

Thanks to: slimdizzy @ XDA, Clockwork Mods And the developers of Unrevoked3

Software Needed:

1.http://unrevoked.com and download the unrevoked3 software PC.

2. Get Clockwork SLCD compatible recovery recovery image from HERE

3. Download HTC Sync and install the software, then uninstall it this will prep your PC for the HTC Drivers needed.

4. Download the Android 1.0 fastboot drivers from HERE or where ever you choose to get them.

5. Download the Android SDK HERE And run the SDKSetup and let it update the packages to set your PC up with ADB and Drivers

Note: All software above except HTC Sync and Android SDK will be provided in a RAR linked at the end of the post.


Procedure:

1. Start unrevoked3 ( reflash.exe ) and goto File>Custom Recovery and point it to the recovery image ( recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img ) that you downloaded earlier
2. Enable USB debugging on your Desire Settings>Applications>Developement
3. Plug Desire into your computer, unrevoked should start its goodness, If it stalls once it reboots to Hboot, you need to install the Android 1.0 H boot drivers by hand.
4. Once you are left at the recovery boot and unrevoked says "Done!", disconnect your Desire and click the Trackpad to select "reboot system now", phone should reboot into normal mode
5. Check for Superuser Permissions app, if you see it you're good you're now rooted. If not repeat steps 1-4.

Once that is completed. How do we install the new ROM.

doesn't that format the desire so everything must be backup first?

stuck at "wainting for bootloader; make sure driver is installed" and phone is rebooted at the fasboot/recovery menu. I've checked in device manager, I do have I usb device unknown, but the driver you provided doesn't work in win 7 x64

Edit: nevermind, was trying to update another usb device that the driver are missing. Don't know why but I had to disconnect and reconnect my htc so it appear in my windows
