inding out InfoCID for G2?

I am trying to get root on a T-Mobile G2 that has obtained the 1.72 OTA update and I have followed the commands from the G2 Downgrading Thread on using ADB and Fastboot but this is the output I get:

Some post I have seen say the CID is the InfoCID and some say that it isn't... Is anyone able to give a definitive answer? I would like to know whether or not I have to make a goldcard to get root.

Yeah, it means your CID (T-MOB010). The downgrade guide you are trying to follow isn't for the G2 though, only the Desire Z. You also don't have the 1.72 OTA. The G2's have only received a 1.22 OTA (with the newer G2's having the update pre-installed), which doesn't needed to be downgraded in order to root.
You can just follow the guide in the Wiki.

Thanks for the verification because I was so leery of rooting from all the stuff I was reading about the downgrading then rooting. I just rooted my phone and I am extremely happy to have it rooted!

[Q] Desire boot problems

I have an unrooted Desire, which doesn't work like it should anymore. When I try to boot it, it stucks on the first white screen with HTC logo.
When I take out the battery for a while, it will sometimes boot. But after an hour it will reboot itself, and get stuck in boot again.
Also, sometimes, the phone will try to boot, stays on for 5 seconds, turns itself off, and boots again, stays on 5 seconds, etc.
I can get into recovery, using volume down and power, and executed the 'fastboot oem boot' commando, with results:

I'm not sure what this means.

try another usb cable or another usb port
remove battery from phone, then restart phone vol down + power, click fastboot before conecting USB cable (" waiting for phone"), conect cable .....
retry your command

I removed the battery, put it back in (else it won't boot ofc), vol down + power, clicked fastboot, on pc executed 'fastboot oem boot', plugged usb cable in:
C:\Users\Niek>fastboot oem boot

It did boot all the way though. There is no SD or SIM card in the phone.

Usb brick???

I says I need root, which I don't have.
When I try to root the phone, it fails, because in the process it needs to reboot several times, and every time in the last reboot, the boot fails..

never used it but its the last chance you have, or its off to HTC your phone will have to go...
Unless anyone else can see a solution? Because i've never had this problem so I am far from an expert

Were you s-off and changed your hboot to one from alpharev?

It isn't my phone, and the owner said he didn't do anything special with it. So it is still as it was when he bought it.

I did the root via the app, that worked (the temporary one), and also the usb brick fix worked.
This is what I did in a shell:
C:\Users\Niek>adb shell
$ su
su
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
# cat /sdcard/mtd0.img > /data/mtd0.img

When I rebooted the phone, it went into the boot - off - boot - off cycle again.
I ran the 'fastboot oem boot' command again:

By the way, now it did the cycle again for 4-5 times, and gave 7 vibrates. Then nothing.

Sounds like motherboad brick to me.

Vibrate 7 times.... Oh dear
Motherboard failure i would guess.... send to HTC for repair i'm afraid

That's a very bad sign?
Well, then I'll give up.. There's a crack in the screen anyway, and repairing that and this problem is not worth it.
Thanks anyway

[Q] Desire stuck at boot screen

My Desire ran out of power this night and now it wont boot. It's just stuck at the boot screen. I cant boot into recovery mode either. I tried the "clear storage" thingy, but no luck. I've tried with and without sim and sd cards, with different batteries etc. - I can only boot to hboot and fastboot menus.
I'm running Oxygen 2.3.2, got clockworkmod recovery and S-OFF.
From the Troubleshooting guide, I've tried flashing a new recovery with Android Flasher, but I just get the error "Error, your phone is not plugged in or drivers aren't installed"
If I tick the "i'm already in fastboot", nothing happens. No respons or whatever for 20 minutes.
I tried installing the latest RUU, but it won't detect the phone.
Fastboot is able to detect the phone when booted, I've placed the Oxygen rom as an update.zip on the SD-card and tried to re-flash it, but my skills seems to end here.
Any suggestions?

try using my guide and use cmd instead of android flasher

Tried, no luck.
Just flashed the recovery via fastboot, but it still can't boot. Below is output.

When getting sick of the boot screen, I removed the usb cable and got this error.
Code:
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
Not much else todo. After some retries, i finally got to reflash the hboot to stock using the PB99IMG method and afterwards the RUU rom, after extracting it from the .exe.
It sucks and all data is lost, but it's better than buying a new phone.

May be caused by Recovery

[Q] RUU 140 & 152 error

Hi
I have a Desire that stuck on the HTC logo with exclamation marks and I cant use RUU to get it working because:
- WWE version gives me error 140: Bootloader version error
- GB version gives me error 152: System update failed
- I also tried to create a goldcard but when I'm trying to copy the PB99IMG.zip to it, I can't because its already exists (0 byte)
What can I do with it? (except step-dancing on it)
