If clockworkmod is your recovery it's rooted.
This also means that you should not install OTA updates.

Android 2.3 can be rooted with revolutionary. Under supported devices the desire with bootloader version 1.02.0001 (the bootloader version the desire has after gingerbread update) is listed.
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App

Use irc channel.
Revolutionary only gives s-off. To get root, flash the zip from their documentation page

Purchased a used G2 on ebay - phone was rooted and I believe CM7 installed - clockworkmod came up and I tried to install a custom rom and was only getting white HTC screen.
At this point I really just want the latest official gingerbread 2.3.4 on the phone (even if it means getting an original stock rom then getting the OTA update thru t-mobile). I don't care if its rooted or not. (Picture of HBOOT screen attached below)
What is the easiest and fastest way to do this from what I have on my phone at this point? If I just factory reset from this menu will I still have to get a stock a rom and put it on my sdcard?
Just flash the rooted version from the dev thread dude

Either that or if you don't care about root, flash pc10img of ota gb.

Oh what have I done...
Basically, after installing LeeDroid latest version 5.1.1 Gingerbread 2.3 (only have Radio s-off) a while ago, signal issues caused my to try and update the radio today to recommended version via GetRIL.
It wouldn't work correctly and I assumed that it was because I don't have Eng s-off for the radio install.
So, I tried to use the ENG s-off tool and got the message "HBOOT corrupt, do not reboot, go to XDA" and here I am...
I haven't tried to reboot the phone and it is still on as normal.
Have I buggered up the Hboot? what will happen if I try to reboot the phone and what should I do now? I'm worried.
Appreciate any help on this thanks.
(I have clockwordMod installed etc)
Anyone?
Please?

Was your phone shipped with gingerbread or froyo?

Im sure some were on the forum you will find the information to this and its about the fact that that is a normal message after using the tool and your Hboot is not corrupt.

Well, I'm not 100% but i think possibly froyo.
Why?

I have never used this tool but I know that if you flash a froyo bootloader on a gingerbread shipped device there will be problems.

Thanks for that. I'm pretty sure my first Gingerbread was when the GB LeeDroid came out.
I'm kinda in limbo at the moment. I don't normally reboot my phone for long periods of time unless it locks up or reboots itself. And I'm scared to reboot it now in case I have issues.
However, Is there something I should do to my device in preparation for the reboot? Or is there a way of checking to see if it was a froyo shipped device?
UPDATE:
If I open GetRIL now (after trying to flash the ENG s-off tool) it says "No permission, Features that requires a rooted device, Superuser and Busybox has been disabled"
Looks like something has happened
I still haven't rebooted. I just want to know:
If I reboot and I have a problem, should I do something before I reboot the phone? i.e.
Put a RUU on the SD card
OR a PD98IMG.zip stock ROM or something?
Is there no way I can check the condition of the Boot Loader without rebooting the phone or booting into recovery?
Hi first of all, i want to say sorry i posted it on the wrong category or if someone already ask this question, but i really need help . I am planning to give my phone to my nephew and i want to return it to stock rom , without any root. because right now i'am on stock rom but still rooted, i want to know also if there will be a difference between stock rom with rooted and stock rom without any root
You'll loose root and recovery, but your phone will still be S-Off
