Root Help Please

[slinkydonkey]

Hello

I have an original HTC Desire to be honest I think its a great mobile apart from one major issue which almost makes it un-usable its complete lack on onboard memory.

For this very reason I upgraded the mobiles ROM from a standard Vodafone UK OTA ROM to Oxygen-2.0-RC7 but I want to remove it and put something on that is 1 better 2 does OTA updates 3 works 4 Im not the sort of geek who can spend days trying to get something working so maybe going back to stock would be best.


I dont know what Vodafone UK are currently up to Andriod wise but think maybe I should go back to stock as I will again get OTA updates when the OS is updated something that I dont get at the moment.

Instead of using Vodafone stock ROM isnt there a generick google ROM with OTA I can use?
My only concern is that will I have to UN root the phone?
Will I loose all ability to transfer apps to the SD card?

I would like to get this done today so any replys would be very very much appreciated.

Cheers
Paul

There are no more ota updates for the desire. It is no longer supported.

You can manually install the 2.3 RUU from the htcdev.com site, but you will still have memory issues. Probably best to stay rooted.

If its sense you miss, there are plenty of rooted sense Roms that have better internal memory than stock.

Probably best to weigh up the options before jumping into anything

Look up Teppic sense ROM and LeeDroid.

Both sense roms (stock, but rooted)

Stay rooted

Hi I download it from miui-au.com it was MIUI_Au 1.10.14 I wanted something that had OTA updates and this does them every Friday apparently, is that a good one?

I use my mobile for business so dont want to keep changing the ROMS too much.

mmm...not sure -i had some reboot issues with the .au version i tried - so i moved to xj

i didnt think any roms were doing ota updates - but i could be wrong
