Thank you guys, it seems to be working now.

I take it I should avoid OTA updates now then? lol

What did you do to fix it?

I have a debranded desire from Orange and was about to do the OTA update.
Going to hold off for now!

either that or buy unlock code

This has been covered a million times. If you want the "update" then flash the MCR rom, it's based on the update that you'll be getting anyway.,

That's what I thought and I did try getting an unlock code from HTCCODE.com but it doesn't seem like it works properly for the desire so I had to e-mail the admin and request the unlock code, which came a day later.  

But I'm very impatient (which is probably what got me in this mess in the first place) and I wanted my phone working.  So I rooted my desire then flashed the radio given to me by dnlgee, who was very helpful and everything seems to be working fine now.

I do have one more question now that I've done all that and unlocked my phone am I ok to recieve OTA updates or will I have to stick to flashing the ROM?
