However, the firmware is 2.1 and as a result the device (unfortunatly) is suffering from the 'overheating' issue, and seems to get stuck in a boot cycle when it gets warm (putting it in the fridge does help !! ) .
That's a known hardware failure. Don't root it and get it to a service center.

Thanks Paul!  :P

Dear,

I was using a tutorial to flash a HTC Desire and I stacked on
" Navigate to the BOOTLOADER and then the RECOVERY option on the menu, using the volume buttons to move and the power button to select"
The black screen with a red triangle doesn't appears.
It appears black screen with htc sine in a middle of screen and 4 triangles in the 4 corners.
any suggestion for the mentioned problem?

Maybe been mentioned else where but 128 pages? I'm not checking- sorry. I rooted my desire using unrevoked. Very easy indeed. Worth a look if you want some tasty Gingerbread.
