Is it possible to take a backup of current ROM (unrooted brand new phone's ROM) so that it can be restored after experimenting with some custom ROMs?
Sorry, I did not understand clearly some points
##What about HBOOT?
My Desire's bootloader inf.
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 0.93.0001
MICROP -051d
erase size is 20000
So, what to do to root my desire?
I already downloaded a RRU for my desire
My one is T-Mobile branded. so when does gold card concept needed?
Flashing ROM:
I found another process of flashing that is based on ROM manager. Whats the pros. & cons. of these?
Added link to goldcard guide / tool

What you think it means, it means
A nandroid backup also backs up the Rom
Also, I need my goldcard to be a seperate sd card right. Not the one in my phone usually?
It can be the card you use in your phone if you wish. Formatting and partitioning the card only changes data - it doesn't change the 'structure' that makes the card a Gold Card.
But I think most people prefer to use a small capacity SD for a Gold card and keep it safe somewhere, then get a faster, larger capacity card to use in the phone.
Formatting doesn't affect it but I think partitioning does (or can).
cat /proc/mtd
Added the below to the "what about Hboot?" section:
(note, if you are already rooted, you can simply download "terminal Emulator" from the market and type:
And press enter)Code:cat /proc/mtd
It needs root. However if you Google visionary+ and use that to get temp root, it should work
Oh ok. I didn't know it worked without root. Ace.
So what are you asking?
You have erase size 40,000 so make sure if you do root, you follow the special instructions for 40,000 devices in this FAQ
