Can this be made to work on the HTC Desire please!?

I'm one of those guys very reluctant to root my phone as I am worried I will f%$k it up. I have an HTC Desire and would really really love this one click rooting app to work on my phone. Are there any plans to port it over to the Desire?

Thanks

Quick question about the Canadian Milestone. I just used this app and an overclocker and it works great.

I know the Milestone has some very restrictive bootloader that, at least up until lately, prevented any sort of custom ROM. With my Milestone now rooted, can I load a custom 2.2 ROM on to my phone? With flash and all?

I'm still unclear as to which of the 2 you need to load custom ROMs, is it just rooting your phone, an unrestrictive bootloader, or both?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ArickInRealLife:
what do you mean "ticked" ?

i downloaded it with skyfire and it said it was successful but i dont know where it downloaded to??? where it the settings do i "tick" it?

Archos Home Tablet 7

I tried Androot in my Archos Home Tablet 7 since it is a different device from the in house Archos 5 (it`s a Rockchip) and similar to the chinese Apad. The Software (latest beta) installed great and seemed to do everything in theory but when i go to the Better Terminal app and type su at the $ prompt i get a "su: not found". So i guess i am not rooted and the Archos HT7 can join the Archos 5 in the no-no list. I hope further versions can root this device, anyway keep the good work and thank you.

Once you softroot use something like root explorer to mount the /system partition rw and copy the su binary to /system/bin or install superuser from the market while softrooted.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] l0uisz:
Once you root, the simplest way to install CM6 would be to download ROM Manager from the market and flash the recovery. Here are the steps:

1. Plug in your power cable and root using the 1-click root.

2. Search for ROM Manager on Market and Install

3. Open the app and allow the app to gain root access

4. Click the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and wait until the progress bar is finished.

5. It might freeze or ask permissions midway or not work at all. In this case, just click the button again.

6. Then click the Download ROM under ROM Management of ROM Manager and select CyanogenMod.

7. Select the one you want. CM 6.0.0 are all Froyo 2.2 Release Candidates so may have bugs. CM 5.0.8 is the last stable release of Eclair 2.1

8. In edition to downloading CM, make sure you download the corresponding Google Apps as CM does not include GApps for copyright and licensing issues.

9. Afterwords, go back to the main menu and select "Install ROM from SD Card".

10. Navigate to clockworkmod/download/mirror.kanged.net/... until you get to the ROM. It should be named somewhat like update-cm-6.0.0-N1-RC2-signed.zip

**11. Click on it and click Add Zip. Then navigate to clockworkmod/download/kanged.net/... until you get to the GApps. It should be named somewhat like gapps-hdpi-FRF91-2-signed.zip

12. Click that and click OK.

13. When it prompts, choose to backup before flashing and give the backup a name like "Stock N1 Rooted". Also choose to clear data and dalvik-cache.

14. Wait. It'll reboot and go into the clockwork recovery and automatically queue and flash the two zips. Keep waiting until it reboots again.

15. Welcome to Cyanogen Mod.

Hey guys i'am stuck at this step #11 after i downloaded the ROM and GApps and clicked on the ROM it tells me " ROM Pre Installation " then gives me option to check off the following... " Backup Exisiting ROM " and " Wipe Data and Cache "......it wont let me RENAME it like "Stock N1 Rooted" ....so what do i do? do i check off both and install the ROM? but then what of the Gapps rom how do i go about installing that??

Thank you ctbear and r3ix84!!! And a big thanks to the developer(s) of Universal Androot!!!

Followed all the directions I could find in this thread and the whole process worked like a charm for me! Got rid of all the bloatware and the phone runs like a finely tuned, well lubed engine!

Steps:

1. Made sure to enable 3rd party app installs.

2. Downloaded Universal Androot 1.6.2 Beta from the developer's site (download link) using my phone's browser, then installed the app.

3. Rooted the phone (HTC Hero running Eclair 2.1 on the "NOW" Network, i.e. CDMA).

4. Installed Titanium Backup and Busybox (followed directions given while in/using Titanium Backup).

5. Gave Titanium Backup "Super User" permissions when asked.

6. Using Titanium Backup, I backed up (to the SD card) all the bloatware I wanted to uninstall.

7. Uninstalled bloatware (various preinstalled apps that came with the phone).

*NOTE: Do not uninstall anything when you're not completely confident and absolutely certain of its function. The phones have apps they absolutely need to be able to work properly.

Thanks again! Rock on!!!

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fivefour:
Mount /system rw and copy the su binary into /system/bin to have root that survives reboots, you would of course want to install superuser for protection....which makes installing just the su binary a somewhat moot suggestion I suppose.

On a Droid you can remount /system rw by issuing the following commands from a terminal while soft rooted

su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Change the rw to ro to remount read only. On an Archos you would likely need to adjust the path, you can find out where /system is mounted by issuing the command 'mount' in a terminal.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] charge1313:
Will try. But I don't think it will work. :The '/system' is cramfs - can't write to it at all. Thanks.

Any chance there's another exploit that can be used by universal androot instead?*

I was pretty sure the 2.2.1 update would unroot my phone - but I did it anyways. Aaaand then I realized I hadn't unrooted prior to installing the update - so I have a usless superuser app that I can't uninstall (it's bugging me).
