I just got fed-up with the time Leaf (HTC agent in South Africa) take to roll-out the upgrade to Android 2.2 in South Africa.  So I have take the plunge and decided to go the manual way.  <\/p>\n

First step was to root my phone.  And this was so easy.  Download Unrevoked 3.2.1<\/a> for my HTC Desire – the Linux version.  Unzipped the tar file, ran the executable and plugged my Desire into the USB (make sure USB debugging is enabled).  Hit the OK button and away the process went.  Phone was re-booted a couple of time and after about 3 minutes I have a fully functional rooted device.  <\/p>\n

Have installed ROM Manager and made full backups of my phone as it is at the moment.  <\/p>\n

The next step is to find a suitable Android 2.2 ROM and here is were I need some advice.  I am looking for an official HTC Desire 2.2 ROM that has been rooted.  I have searched XDA<\/a> and found some but do not know whether they are the latest versions.  Any direction and URL’s will be appreciated.<\/p>\n

Off to go do some more research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
