Hi all,
I feel like I have read pretty much everything on the internet about rooting my phone, but I just wanted to be totally clear.
My computer is a Mac.
My phone is the HTC Desire on ORANGE (blaargh!)
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.10.05.30

Erasethingy(?!) 40000.
So my questions are -
1) Is this possible on Orange phones without making a goldcard.. if no can I just use my existing SD or do i need a spare (i.e. 2 SD cards).
2) Do I just use the unrEVOked method, as that seems to be the most straight forward one?
I got in late December 2010. I want to get rid of all the Orange crapware and also upgrade it to Gingerbread... have it run faster, save internal memory etc. From my understanding I think rooting and flashing a custom ROM is the way forward for this. Also I have read SURoot FAQs.
One final thing - I am moving from England (UK) to New Zealand this September, so I think my warranty won't exist over there anyway so not that bothered about that, nor receiving Orange updates as I have to buy out my contract and crack on with a New Zealand based carrier.
Obviously I'm happy to provide any other info needed, but i might need help on how to find it!!
Help is REALLY appreciated!
