Currently running DeFroST 6.0 forHTC desire (AOSP FRG83 + CyanogenMod)
I rooted using unrevoked 3
I installed defrost 5.9via Rom manager then upgraded to 6.0 via defrost settings.

3 questions possibly unrelated

when I run bootloader I see 'no image' and 'wrong image' messages displayed

I am unable to delete stock apps that came with the defrost Rom. In root explorer I mount r /w and delete an app. Confirm delete message shows up. But when I exit app is still there in the drawer functioning normally.
I was told this could be because NAND is locked. I understand that it should be unlocked when the unrevoked root was performed. I suspect that the error message - not enough space I saw in recovery might have something to do with the NAND setting.

Before I installed defrost 5.9 I tried to install the cyanogen 6 Rom via Rom manager. I saw 'not enough space. On device' or something similar (can't remember exactly) displayed in recovery. i think this might have something to do wit NAND setting as well

btw my desire is CDMA

Can any body shed some light on this. im a newb so simple terms please
 
You need s-off to delete anything in /system via root explorer. This involves flashing a new hboot. If not, dalvik cache rebuilds your apps list.

Personally I just delete apps from sdcard/defrostsetup/rom.zip/system/app and reflash it.

Space on devicce is not affected as that referes to /data/app which flashing a new rom does not wipe.

If you have partitioned an ext partition on your sd card, then you would use a2sd+.

You should backup your sd contents, use rom manager to create an ext partition, restore your sd csard, take a titanium backup, do a factory reset then do a titanium restore.

Although the reset and titanium stuff may not be neccessary.

Download quick system info to see if 12SD has worked.

CDMA desire should be s-off from unrevoked

unrevoked3 will permanently unlock NAND write protection by default on the following phones:

  • Sprint EVO 4G
  • Droid Incredible (HTC Incredible)
  • HTC Desire CDMA (HTC BravoC)
