Have you updated to the last official ROM? Visionary doesn't work with that.
There is a way to get root if you have S-OFF, search for it in the forums.

The correct section of the forum would be a good place to look. This is for development threads not cries for help.

[Q] Red exclamation mark when trying flash rom

Hi!
I just rooted my HTC Desire Z which was Android 2.3.3 through downgrading it to Android 2.2 and the running Visionary+.
After that I installed ClockworkMod and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery.
When I use Reboot into Recovery in ClockworkMod I get a red exclamation mark only also when I go to recovery from bootloader manually.
Someone said my phone is restoring the stock recovery after every reboot due to the way its rooted.
Alternate bootloader in ClockworkMod is grayed out so I cant install that either.
Any ideas what to do?

Did you follow this method?

Correct. It is the most recommended (actually I think the only) method currently.

First if you read what biohazrd51 linked you to then you would now understand that Visionary + can and usually does brick your phone or make it impossible to use. The root method that biohazrd 51 linked was what you NEEDED to do rather than use the Visionary +. Chances are good you now have a very expensive door stop. I am NOT a programmer by any stretch, I hope you can recover, if so please let us know so that others may read and it help them. Best of luck to you.

Ok I factory reset my phone and now root is gone. Its still Android 2.2 which is good since in the first link you gave me one needs to downgrade if having 2.3.
In those rooting instructions one is asked to load the appropriate Hboot file:
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)
How do i find out if I have a T-Mobile G2 or a Desire Z since to my knowledge both look same. I live in Finland by the way.

...if you bought your device in finnland you propably got a desire z. anyway if you flash the g2 hboot on a dz or the other way around you wouldn´t harm your phone...
only the desire hd hboot is a no go.
if you want to be sure look into your bootloader and google your hboot number
best thing to do is use the desire z hboot, because then you can flash sense 3+ roms (even if you have a g2)
EDIT: before you start, does your bootloader show s-off?

That red exclamation mark is the stock recovery. If it happens when you have sorted S-OFF (do not use Visionary !), just try flashing ClockworkMod recovery again.

At the top, just under the speaker grill of the phone, does it say htc or t-mobile?
If its htc ==> Desire Z
T-mobile ==> G2
-Nipqer

The other method root worked and i could install ClockworkMod properly and flash to CyanogenMod rom.
Worked! Thx for you help guys!

Best way to tell htc=desire z and tmobile=g2
Either way u can't go wrong with flashing on these phones. I've tried before sadly

Not "usually", but there were a decent amount of soft bricks when Visionary was being used by more people. Enough for most folks on here to conclude that its not as safe as the Wiki method, so not worth it.

you do NOT need unrevoked. Forget it, delete it.
Flash recovery (look at my guide, or download 4EXT recovery updater from market).
Backup ROM
FULL wipe (delete every partition apart from sd-card)
flash a rom you want.
Easy.

[Q] Need help. Rooting and S-off gone terribly wrong

Noob here
I decided to try and get jelly on my 2 y/o phone and it went really wrong. I tried different guides on how to root and S-off. Now i have lost all control.
The only thing my phone can show is HBoot (volumedown+pwr menu) and clockworkmod recovery.
I think it's rooted, but s-off didn't work out for me.
could anyone please help fixing that and get CM 10.1 working on it or at least restore it so it have android again?

I'd you want help you need to provide details. What state was your phone in? What exactly did you do? What state is it in now? Were there any error messages?

State before was Android 2.3.5 Sense 3 i think. Just normal according to HTC spec nothing modified and everything working.
Bootloader is unlocked, S-on, maybe rooted, no OS, only have clockworkmod and the defualt screen from pwr+volumedown.
The only procedure i really got to do anything was this Full HTC Desire HD (sense 3.0/android 2.3.5) guide to root, S-OFF/Sim Unlock
I had problem with /sbin/sh errors during this procedure. Also i got some others fails from codes. i couldn't get "adb shell /data/local/tmp/goldcard -c <string of numbers and letters should go here> -o /data/local /tmp/goldcard.img" to do a thing.
I don't know if there is much else to tell. but i have now used 2 days and i have surrendered and need some serious assistance think.
thx for helping

If all you want to do is root and flash a custom ROM, an unlocked boot loader and a custom recovery is all you need.

Install original is from HTC and then root it with oneclickroot than install what every you want. I think oneclickroot is the only working app for desire hd latest Rom version

I'm total noob as well, but i want to start installing other roms on my DHD. I've Searched this forum for several hours, and I found a lot of different ways to root, unlock, radio off and I dont know what more you can do...
The best option for a noob sounds the Easy Ace Root Tool, as suggested in this topic. But what I dont know is what to do after the tool is done...
If I understand well, this tool wil unlock the bootloader, provides root access and flash ClockworkMod Recovery, right?
Can someone give me some information about the next steps?
Thank you in advanced!

Yes, you understand correctly. Next you flash a rooted custom ROM from recovery. You get those from the development forum. After you install it from recovery, you will need to fastboot flash the boot.img from the ROM zip using your computer.

is it enouhg to open the h-boot over the htc-dev page and after this to install maybe twrp for recovery,to flash roms on a desire hd,ofcource with flashing the boot.img with fastboot.Icant find another,actual way to root my DHD?!?

Yes, that's enough to root and flash a ROM.

If you're rooted (and with ARHD you should be, unless you removed it) you can install the 4ext updater apk from the 4ext website (google for it). Then, install the recovery from the app.

Thank you very much... And one more question..
If I just instal 4ext recovery, would it just replace the TWRP which i have now or I have to unninstall it first?

It'll just get overwritten by 4ext. You don't need to uninstall it.
