[Q] Root do rly i need it?

Do I even need to root my Desire Z?
I rebooted to recovery and i was able to choose the "Apply update.zip"
So i can put the cwm.zip on the sd card rename it to update.zip and then i can flash a custom rom without even rooting the device?

If you don't root I believe you will get a bootloop.

No, you can't do like that. It just won't work or even worse, you can brick your device. Read the FAQ, that should clear up some things for you.

Aha even if you do that. It won't let you flash it since it doesn't match the system. There's many ways to root your phone. Do the Wiki/Gfree method by the way

You can't flash unsigned/self-signed ZIPs...the G2/DZ is a NAND locked device.

yup its a definite brick if you try to switch roms, you'll get a boot loop and and theres absolutely no way to go back

Rooting is quite easy on the G2/DZ. However whatever you do, do not try to perm root with visionary! Visionary is only needed to get the soft root, then you can use gfree to complete your permanent root.

Download 2.3 ruu from HTC website and run that. You keep your warranty while completely debranding your phone with it - if the purpose of this is warranty claim?

Yh that's the purpose I'll try it out thanks.

I Have the only Desire HD in this world that can't be touched.seriously

hello,
I own a DHD which is branded to a French telecom SFR. its already S-Off and running android 2.3.5 with software number 3.13. As i am writing now i have tried so many different methods to root, debrand and flash a custom rom but nothing happens.
I even tried AAHK , which promted me to download and i agreed by pressing "y" in the cmd. it went on to download the firmware for the downgrade. After the download it booted into the bootloader and nothing happend. The sd card wasnt check for anything. So i made some more research and it looks like i had to create a gold card. So i created the gold card ,placed the downloaded downgrade firmware (PD98IMG.zip) to the root of the gold card and booted into HBOOT. when i got into it , this was what happend.
SD Checking...
Loading...[PD98DIAG.ZIP]
No image!
Loading...[PD98DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PD98DIMG.zip]
Wrong image!
Loading...[PD98DIMG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
this process took more than 30-40 mins. After, it just went back to HBOOT without doing nothing.i dont know what to do anymore because i have tried everything but its not working. Has anybody ever downgraded and rooted this type of DHD before.?? i am wondering if AAHK suports software no. 3.13.
SOmeone please help me on what to do.

I hope somebody can help you mate. Just out of curiosity, did it come stock with Gingerbread?

Grab a RUU, flash it in windows, once you're on a different firmware, try S-OFF and root and all those things...

Flashing Stock Rom

Hi guys, i want to revert back to stock and it's the first time i do this.
i have Trick Droid installed, rooted with ext4 recovery, rooted my phone with AAHK.
I downloaded this RUU: RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_R_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_233505_signed.exe
is this going to be OK or do i need to download another RUU?

Why dont you check it yourself. Just reboot to bootloader and take note of bootloader info. If it written " ace pvt eng/ship s-off" then you are s-off. Better confirm it to avoid problems that may occur during ruu..
