As far as I know you CAN'T root the new 4.22.651.2.........There's about 300 threads on this very subject, did you even search for your answer before you decided to post or did you not read the rules over here at XDA?
If you didn't then take a look at rule#1....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81

Yes but I didn't know what to search, I'm sorry.

You search for things such as "Root OTA Update HTC EVO" or "4.22.651.2 ROOT"....is not that hard!
Take a look at this link if you don't know what you're doing on here....

Downgrading the HTC EVo 4G
MazdaRider23, u really need to unglue urself from the forums, because when u start bitting people's heads off for asking a simple question, this means that either ur an ass or u have been do this too long. The kid simply ask if he was able to downgrade to a more subjective OTA update, like 2.2 or something, but u wrote more chewing him out than it would have taken to say "No u cant" three little words. Maybe u need to start reading as u type so u can hear how u come off. Remember, not all people know the rules and wont know them, because they are happy to be able to root their phones and are too excited to read 10 pages of rules. Just remember that ok?

Here you go dude. Dropped a few hours ago.

froyo for desire.

Hi. I heard froyo has been released for nexus. Does that mean it will soon be available for desire as custom Rom?
just read the other posts befor starting a new thread...
And post this in the general section, you are polluting what could otherwise be a productive development space.
FroYo to Desire port - Status
Best to make a thread now... When anyone hears any news of a Desire FroYo port being made please post in this thread.

Duplicate ideas/requests?
This isn't a duplicate of anything on the Desire forum so please stop clogging my thread with your self-righteousness.
huetson2 said:
self-righteousness? nah pal, i'm not stupid, that what it boils down to. read previous posts regarding froyo before asking such stupid questions.
failing that buy a nexus son

Get off your high horse and get out of this thread.
This isn't a request thread, merely a place for people to post news of FroYo ports.
On a side note...
Paul has given an ETA for a Desire port! Next week according to his twitter.
lmao - another helpful thread.

What exactly do you want from me? You seem to be stalking my posts just to make self righteous comments.
Please, leave me alone.
I know you are all excited about 2.2, I am too.
I was about to start porting Paul's Nexus version but decided to come here first in order to know if it has been done and end up reading lots of non-sense.
You can have threads like this in the general section and when there is a port it will be published in its own thread, can we stick to development relevant posts here? There aren't many desire developers, we don't want to push them away with misplaced content.

Can this really have been ported only 12 hours after release, paul at Modaco has already said next week for a Desire port.
Posting links to files that are for the wrong phone is going to pi$$ off an awfull lot of people when they start bricking their phones.
Pretty certain that link is not to a Desire port.

well, i guess it would have been better to let you wait for 10000 years and wonder why no one here will answer your question, because it got closed by mod....
but i thought i help you by pointing you to the right forum where you probably get your answer in 15min.
sorry for being so stupid trying to help you. i promise i will never ever do this mistake again.
happy waiting here
edit: "
WARNING!! If I see any more questions or non DEV related threads...I'll delete them.. "
this is the title of the third or forth sticky thread here. they delete your thread without warning or notification. this happens often and you would wait for ever without that hint from me.

thnx alot , actully i made alot of searching before i post this question but i couldnt find any root for GB
thnx again mate
What version of GB are u using? Go to flashtool, connect the device in debugging mode and press the lock. That would root your phone. If u have unlocked bootloader just flash a kernel. It will root it

No problem, I was confused as hell when I first started all this.
Out of curiousity did your searches lead you to loads of unanswered threads?
I only came on xda so I could remove facebook and other stuff I dont use.
