Ok first of thanks to Staggers for giving me the drive to do the root and to SUroot for all the valuable info on this forum and everyone else!
so i did the T-mod root on my desire which was branded to Telstra. Went ok, well i got it rooted in the end! but i did encounter some problems that i think some guys might be able to help out others with a bit of information.
the one part that confused me with the instructions was with G-parted. in the instructions it says to turn of pc, connect phone, reboot from cd. nothing happened. so i done some research and found that some had not connected the phone until completing the last step before G-parted launched. then the sd card was detected. G-parted really stumped me. i dont think i done it right as when i finally got the phone rooted and started backing up i ran out of memory. i then used rom manager which wiped EVERYTHING but made the partion. unfortunately lost the titanium backup as i only then installed the rom and radio on the card and booted!
Unrevoked3 then would not work until i tried a different USB port using Method 2 in rooting section.
other then those things, it went quite well, besides losing all stuff of my sd card luck i backed up though! If some one could do an exact method (maybe utube) of how to do Gparted i think this would help.
Now that i have crossed this bridge, i want to try out gingervillian or oxygen but cant find a good step by step guide. (i like step by steps!!)
So once again thanks to this forum, i successfully rooted my desire!!
