I am working urgently to make it work on all Windows / OSX / Linux independently, rather than needing a specific one.

Hey Paul,

I am very excited to get started on rooting my desire. I was wondering if I will be able to load other fonts such as Hebrew once I follow these instructions. I noticed you said I wouldn't have access to the /system partition in normal use mode. Is there another way?

Thanks,

Dov

Will attempt later tonight when I can download ubuntu.

Yes, you'll load them on by running recovery and then doing 'adb shell mount /system' before pushing the files.

Great news! Going to root my Desire ASAP!

(and my FriendFeed widget will thank me, I was screwing it up refreshing every second or so... )

Nice done mate, now please a 0.80 Version an I'll be happy :>

Before I jump in: I assume this will void the warranty. How do we return to "stock"? Just flash a normal RUU? Can they tell this device was rooted?

[evilgeenius]

"This process will wipe your device and there is currently no option to backup your device ROM before you start."

So does this mean that once you flash your desire you'll never be able to go back to the original Sense UI?

I need a Windows machine only?Pr Do i need Linux it a live cd , too? I mean are there both OS needed? Sry for my englisch.....

Thanks for root......

I'm not an Android n00b, but here comes a fairly n00bish question: what's the advantage of having root at this point besides just the fact of having it? If I can't write to /system, that means I can't use most of the root apps, including wireless tether, adfree android, etc.

Is that right?

[nekromantik]

I think il wait for the Ubuntu VM from bcmobile.
Cheers paul and bcmobile

[PaulOBrien]

Tether, adfree android et al don't need system write access. In fact, nothing does.

This ROM includes Sense of course.

If you can get hold of a standard RUU for your operator, you can flash back to stock, if not you can easily flash back to generic stock.

This being my first android device im pretty new to this but tried to read up on things. I was just wondering if it is possible as of now to flash nexus one roms onto the desire? i have just seen alot of people speculating about this but no definate no or yes answer because of there being no method to root before this.

Thx!

[maati]

Nice done!

Will we have tlash the phone for the A2SD?

[kubia]

what kind of ROM is the rooted one?
is it the generic one with sense etc?

edit: sorry, you already answered that
other question though:
will you be writing a guide on how to get the standart generic rom back for warranty return?
