    Root Pre-rooted Gingerbread (stock)

    I've just put up a base ROM for Gingerbread. This is pretty much entirely stock, except it's rooted, so you can install it on a rooted Desire without using HTC's RUU (and losing root/custom recovery). As with my froyo ROM, this will get some optional mods, including optimisations, app...

    Root FAQ - HBOOT and rooting

    Here's some (hopefully useful) information about the bootloader: What's HBOOT? It's immediately loaded when the phone is switched on. It's mostly responsible for checking and initialising the hardware and starting the phone's software, for flashing official software releases (RUUs via...

    Root Froyo downgrade utility (Windows and Linux) - any HBOOT version

    If you've upgraded to official froyo you probably know that downgrading can be difficult, especially if you have an SLCD screen. If you did a branded upgrade (e.g. Vodafone) then the old methods won't work at all. Since current rooting methods won't work on froyo this can be a big problem...

    Froyo RUU update available

    With this RUU package you can flash your phone to the current official OTA update - i.e. the latest software, radio and bootloader. If you have a branded phone, this will debrand it. This method doesn't require you to root your phone and it doesn't install any unofficial or modified software...
