1. Check your phone's HBOOT bootloader version by

A. Powering down (turn off) the phone

B. Pressing the Volume-DOWN and the End/Power buttons simultaneously (this can also be done by simultaneously pressing "Send" and "End/Power")

C. The first two lines displayed should look similar to the following:

DESIREC XC SHIP S-ON (if you are already rooted, this will say "S-OFF")
HBOOT-1.47.0000 (you might see 1.46, 1.47, or 1.49 here)

D. You can re-power off your phone by doing a battery pull and replacing after 5-10 seconds, then restarting

Info about how to interpret your HBOOT version is also in the thread linked above.

Cheers!
