root HTC Desire

[Guest moghm]

Hello,

I am currently runing a HTC desire with the official 2.3 RUU installed through the HTC website. Really trying to root the phone but not having much success. Firstly with unrevoked 3, I get the error message 'firmware to new.' I then tried gingerbreak, and let it run for about 40 minutes, but had to reboot the phone.

Any ideas ?

many thanks
