Hi guys I have 2.02 s-off and I cant downgrade to the one i need in order to get cm6. I used to have an earlier version with s-off as well but then i ran sprint's ruu and got 2.02, it still says s-off but i can't downgrade it, i tried both flashable zips and PC36IMG, any idea how to fix it?
Cm6 RC1 doesn't need a certain h-boot anymore.
gave up on 8pening from my supersonic on the xda app.
Try Flashing your misc partition with toast's mtd-eng.img. Then flash the pc36img.zip. The code is
(with flash_image in your tools folder and the mtd-eng.img on the root of your sd already)
Adb push flash_image /data/local/
Adb shell
Su
Chmod 755 /data/local/flash_image
Cd /data/local/
./flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img
Done. Hope this helps.

is there anything i should change?
only reason i ask is cause i have bricked a phone before and i think it was due to wrong hboot/radio combo (mt3g 1.0)
btw i rooted via rage root temp and gfree method
all help/tips is appreciated!
8. Install the engineering hboot (if you really want to)
8.1. download engineering hboot
Download the appropriate HBOOT for your phone:
T-Mobile G2: vision.hboot-0.76.2000.zip (md5sum 7669AE12DC2FAA10AE555A164980EFD0)
HTC Desire Z: vision.hboot-0.84.2000.zip (md5sum 2CE1BDD5E4C1119CCFCECB938710D742)
HTC Desire HD: ace_glacier.hboot-0.85.2007.zip (md5sum df4fd77f44993eb05a4732210d2eddc6)
Note that the md5sums are for the actual hboot img contained within the zip file, not the for the zip file itself. Note also that the dz, g2, and dhd each use their own version of the engineering boot, as the phones are partitioned differently. (If you have previously installed the wrong HBOOT for your phone, you may need to reflash everything after partition 18)
8.2. Copy the files to the phone
Connect the phone to the USB of your PC. The phone will stay connected during the complete procedure.
Make sure that you do NOT turn on USB storage. There has to be a sdcard in the phone and it has to be mounted to the phone!
Unpack the engineering hboot zip files to a directory on your PC.
Open a terminal (or command window) on your PC and change the current directory to where the file is on your PC and execute these commands:
$ adb push hboot-eng.img /data/local/tmp/
8.3. Install the engineering hboot
Please make sure that you type or better copy/paste the following commands exactly, and in exactly this order. Especially the dd-command is very critical!
In the terminal (or command window) on your PC execute these commands:
$ adb shell
$ su
# dd if=/data/local/tmp/hboot-eng.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
# sync
8.3.1. Check the md5sums of the installed hboot
As it is very important that the hboot was installed correctly we recommend to check the md5sums of the partition. In the root shell (indicated by the #) that you got in the Temporary root section execute the following commands:
# /system/xbin/busybox md5sum /data/local/tmp/hboot-eng.img
# /system/xbin/busybox md5sum /dev/block/mmcblk0p18
We call these two md5_1 and md5_2 in the next section
If md5_2 does not match md5_1: First DON'T REBOOT and second run for help at the #G2ROOT IRC channel on freenode.
If md5_2 matches md5_1: You are fine, Reboot your phone by executing the following command in the root shell (indicated by the #):
# reboot
thats relavent section of wiki for you follow it .... although putting eng hboot puts you at risk of bricking your phone while flashing radio . stock hboot atleast doesnt let you to flash wrong radio
You don't need eng hboot to change the radio. Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809
Is this method safe, or are there many problems with md5?
So I followed step by step 3 times now on trying to get s-off on my G2. Did visionary temp root, downloaded s-off rooting files, copied .ko and .img files to sdcard, downloaded terminal emulator and entered in these:
su
cd /sdcard
insmod /sdcard/wpthis.ko
then i see an error which in every step by step says is correct then from there i...
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.eng.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
after that finishes i type
sync and hit enter
When i go into hboot it still says s-on
Any ideas? thanks.

my idea: don't use visionary.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
^^^gfree/rage. much easier, much less likely to cause problems. since you're on a G2, you don't need to worry about downgrading from 1.72, you should just be good to go
Thanks man, i'll try that.
Hi Guys.
I have watched your Noob video and it's very funny.
However,I am going to have to risk being a "noob" due to the fact that im unable to post in the dev thread for downgrading.
I have decided to root my DHD and everyone says this is the place to go to learn how to do it.
I have read the instructions throughly and decided to take the plunge, however I'm having some problems
with the method described in the first post!
Please let me tell you what I have done so far.
1) I have read the posts at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879525 (doesn't seem to apply to me.)
2) I am running Build version 2.50.405.2 (So I need to downgrade.)
3) I have the latest version of HTC Sync installed.
4) I have created a gold card as directed in the "How to downgrade" post and also placed PD98IMG.zip in the root of the gold card
inserted in the phone.
5) My DHD is running Gingerbread 2.3.3, Software number 2.50.405.2 so I followed section b2 of the downgrade thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
However at the end of the cmd process I see a "$" symbol, not the "#" as per the screenshot.
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers.
Greg.
Update: I just tried the method here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152233
for "TEMP-ROOT ANY Gingerbread build and downgrade to 1.32.405.6"
I manage to temproot using the alternative method of typing the adb commands under the Temp Root heading.
I finally get the "#"
I still have the gold card with PD98IMG.zip in the DHD.
I go to Downgrade step 4 and again use the alternative method and type in the commands only for cmd to say
"adb: not found"
AAAGGGGHHHHHHH!
I have been trying this all day.
I'm going to curl up in a corner and cry now.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Greg.

Hey dude.
Tried this, didn't work.
I successfully manage to get temproot using the code you gave, but then on reboot the below happens.
Always, when I get to the boot loader it recognises PD98IMG.zip and looks like it's loading it. After loading it I get a "Checking PD98IMG.zip" message then the bootloader just returns to the main screen, I am never asked if I want to update!
Getting totally flumoxed with this! :-(
So I have made a youtube video of the problem.

You can't just flash PD98IMG.zip when this is an older base then your current.
When your phone is finished checking, it decide not to flash it cause it's older.
Apologies, I should have said I manage to get temproot using the code supplied. I have updated the post now.
Cheers.

I wonder if my PD98IMG.zip file is corrupt.
I just did an MD5 check but it's tough to tell as the original PD98IMG.zip file I downloaded from here didn't have an MD5 Checksum with it
Hi guys.
Quick update. I have successfully downgraded my DHD.
The issue was a corrupt PD98IMG.zip
I downloaded MD5 Check 2.1 from here and tested the checksum of the PD98IMG.zip against the MD5 Checksup posted at the top of the page here, post 261,
Quick Ref - (C3D244A9F056E48EE3851A14FF52204C)
When MD5 Check 2.1 showed it as not matching, I downloaded a new PD98IMG.zip from here.
I used MD5 Check 2.1 to the checksum this new PD98IMG.zip. Success, it matched.
I transferred the new PD98IMG.zip to the goldcard I made using these instructions (I don't know if I actually needed a goldcard).
I put the Goldcard in my DHD, used cmd to run the below code as given by rohithksaj, thanks bud, which echoed the instructions here.
Code:
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start F0000000 -end FFFFFFFF
adb shell
after this # type:
/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.31.405.3
exit
adb reboot bootloader
When the DHD rebooted into bootloader, I selected "bootloader", then waited about 5 seconds for the bootloader to recognise the PD98IMG.zip.
the DHD then goes through a process of loading the PD98IMG.zip then it checks the PD98IMG.zip.
Finally the screen that eluded me appeared, the "Do you wish to start update?" screen.
I chose yes, 5 mins later I had a downgraded phone.
Thank you all for your help on this issue.
Props to you all.
Greg.
My next question is how do I change the thread title to "XXXX -Solved"?
All the best mate.............

All have different taste ~~~~~~
I'm looking for Gingerbread stock ROM with Sense to unroot my HTC DZ. I've searched in the HTC Desire Z subforum but what I found were either G2/DZ stock Froyo ROM or Gingerbread without Sense.
Can you guide me to find the original stock ROM with sense?
Thanks!
First off, if you rooted with gfree, you need to flash a stock froyo rom to unroot properly.
Then you can flash a gingerbread stock rom, which can be found on shipped-roms.com (which currently seems to be down).
To unroot fully (remove S-OFF, superCID, etc) you need adb set up, gfree, psneuter and the part7backup-xxxxxxxx.bin that gfree created when you ran it (should be on your sdcard)
then flash a stock 1.34 rom (DZ) or 1.19 rom (G2).
Push psneuter and gfree and part7backup to /data/local/tmp
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 755 *
./psneuter
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
./gfree -r part7backup-xxxxxxx.bin

Really helpful! Thanks.
But I've removed the part7backup-xxxxxxxx.bin from sdcard (Actually, I've formatted the sdcard). So can't I unroot completely to factory state?
That makes it a little bit more annoying.
Same set up, but the gfree command would change
First we need to know your default cid, so in adb shell do:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 bs=1 count=8 2>/dev/null; echo
then we need to run gfree like so:
Code:
./gfree -s off -c <CID from previous command>

Thanks Nipqer!
I'm waiting for shipped-roms.com!
Hi all
I have a European HTC Desire Z with this info:
Android 2.3.3
Sense 2.1
Build 2.42.495.2
Vision PVT Ship S-ON
Hboot-0.85.0013
MicroP-0425
Radio 26.10.04.03_M

Apr 11 2011,23:36:27
I am able to temproot this phone with the method provided here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15851661&postcount=1
using the code:
Code:
$ /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF
However the downgrading part fails on me.
After entering the bootloader menu is scans the SDCARD and finds the PC10IMG.zip
telling me: loading...[PC10IMG.zip], after that it's saying: Checking..[PC10IMG.zip].
After checking it just goes back to the Menu without asking me to update etc.
I did however changed the misc_version and followed the guide precisely.
I searched and found some Threads saying this version isn't rootable yet. though they were couple months old, and I am able to get temp root. it should be do-able right?
Can someone please confirm this and tell me how to, or what i'm doing wrong and let this baby free.
I followed the guide to the letter, without changing misc_version or anything, and I managed to downgrade and root without problems on first try. Same version as you, Desire Z bought in Poland.
Just be sure to grab the file for Desire Z and not for T-Mobile G2 and it should work

What file are you referring to here?
Also, how is it possible to downgrade without changing the misc_version, i thought it was all about changing that in order to make it work haha.
Sorry, I think I misunderstood your post...
I did this to change misc_version:
Code:
$ adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/misc_version
$ adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
$ adb shell
# /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.00.000.0
I assumed you changed the "1.00.000.0" to something else (while browsing the forum I found in some threads that people used a different value on DZ).
As for the file I was referring to, I meant the stock rom image - 1.34.405.5_PC10IMG.zip
Maybe you grabbed the file "PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09 b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip", which is for G2?
Other than that, I'm not familiar enough with the bootloader to be of any help.

I redownloaded the zip file and you just made my day i had a other zip from another thread. but with the exact same name.. maybe corrupted ? THANKS!
Radio's get flashed AFTER you flash your ROM, not before ;P
Remember to rename your PC10IMG.zip to something else after you're done rooting/installing a new ROM, cos if anything happens and your phone crashes and you need to enter recovery, having PC10IMG.zip on the root of your SD will ensure that you never get into recovery
Power + Vol Down boots into bootloader, and it automatically scans for updates, PC10IMG.zip being one of them. Only when there are no update files on SD root will it give you a choice of booting into Recovery to well, recover your phone
