Don't Root it
I have a bricked HTC desire no luck with detecting it in SPFlash tool, Secondly those who have rooted with king root are stuck up on logo
don't Root desire bro the only reason u are not finding ROMs for HTC because developers are not having much success with the device
HTC phones r awsum but they suck on rooting
I think better to unlock bootloader before rooting... i had same issue. Bootloop due to system font permission & extension change by mistake i had to leave my phone around one year as bricked.
Thanks to Baxter of xda who helped me to recover my phone again.
Btw there is no brick type thing.. its soft bricked , means some file folder permission changed or deleted hence behave like non sense
There is option in twrp recovery for fix permission which i came to know after one year. Just one slide unbricked my phone...
