How To: Root the HTC Desire (Unrevoked Method) (Updated 1.18.11) - TheUnlockrTheUnlockr

Dont use that, use our guides. Have a look in the "All about rooting" sticky thread. You should first read the Rooting FAQ too.

is there any downside to rooting,

No warranty. You have to return it to unrooted before you can get warranty repair.

will the phone boot up as normal?

Yes of course

can i still use android market?

Why wouldn't you be able to?

will using this method wipe my sd card? as all my contacts are on there.

Rooting is basically like adding an administrator account in windows. It has nothing to do with your data, applications or SD card. Please read the rooting faq.

many thanks,

the problem ive got is that the forum seems to be clouded with so many opinions and advice all different and I dont know which one to use.....

thanks for your help im gonna look now

Well in this forum, we all agree on how best to achieve something. We then document it and put it in the sticky thread, so if you stick to the "all about rooting" thread, you shouldn't get any conflicting info.

By the way, it isn't that simple to solve your issue.

Just rooting your phone will not solve space issues. It will just allow you to use other tools to do that.

Me too... its the only place where information is not scattered in pieces
..
otherwise people recommend thing(tools) on the basis cause they have not tried other or there personal choices.

Its like crash course for rooting...Wish we could make money by rooting..something Like I am a professional rooter(lol)
