Nope. Unless they have a link to it on their site like they do for the Evo, Incredible, etc. it won't work.
There aren't any reliable 1-click methods for the G2/DZ because its a bit harder to gain root access from the way HTC designed it.
There are many step-by-step tutorials in the dev section though that are easy enough to follow.

I see. how about visionary+

Works fine for temprooting. I wouldn't trust it for perm rooting as its shown to not always work properly and corrupt some file systems it shouldn't be messing with.
The step-by-step method outlined in the wiki is very easy. You only need your phone and a computer to put a few files on your SDcard, no ADB required anymore it can be done from terminal emulator on the phone itself.

I see. Tyvm

Should take a gander through the Android Development forum for yourself and read up on the other reference materials next time
Here you go: G2/DZ Wiki.

Haha. I shall.
Thanks very much. Really appreciated that

[Q] Got my Desire HD (with questions)

Well I finally bought a Desire HD and it's a great phone. I have done allot of things with it but it felt like I wanted more. Then I found this website and found out about rooting a phone. I hope to learn allot here.
My question: Can please someone give me all the sticky's or threads for learning everything I need to learn about rooting before I actually do it myself?
Thank you in advance.

Hi, welcome to XDA community.
It seems that you've come to the right place for rooting and flashing custom roms. All the basic information regarding rooting, downgrading can be found in the 1st sticky post in Desire HD Android Development section here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079108
Please do read them thoroughly and search for other threads for any questions or problems encountered involving rooting your phone.
Please do your best and good luck.

Can't I just use gingerbreak or doesn't it work on a desire HD?

It depends on what base you're on. The latest base that can be rooted gingerbreak is 2.36. Any higher base is not possible to root, for now.

Yep, downgrade is achievable latest on 2.37.762.2 and later version. Stock 2.42 and above will have to wait.

I received a body protecter recently and it says to apply with liquid soap and water!?
.... I haven't got round to putting it on yet. Can you tell me if i should avoid this method. - did your device become water damaged this way?
Sent from my Desire HD

sure as hell it messed up mine one, that liquid got under the digitalizer and soaked my lcd, it did work but it looked like real liquid display(then i got pissed off and took mine apart and found it really hard to remove lcd from housing since it was glued all over the place and i got even more pissed of and went on it like a terminator, then spent 200 bucks in service shop so they would replace it badly(i have two small dirt dots under the screen)) lol search around and you'll find a few other guys with same problem, you can do it nicely even without water trust me **** off that liquid solution you don't want my story to happen

Thanks for the heads up! Appreciate it!

[Q] Need an Orange UK Nand backup

Does anyone have a nand backup of an Orange UK ROM? My Phone is a new-ish desire (PVT4) with a amoled screen.
I need to send the phone back for warranty work but didn't backup the default ROM and am unable to find a stock orange nand to restore. ( I did find one but the phone would not boot up, just sat at the HTC logo screen )
Hope someone can help me
Thanks.

There are no orange RUU's. Use a WWE one

I know there are no RUUs, That's why I asked for a rom backup. If anyone has an Orange rom (rooted or not) then could you please do a backup using clockwork or RA and post a link.
Thanks

You don't need it. Just flash a wwe ruu. Htc service centre won't have a problem with it. I've sent at least 5 handsets for repair this way.

The 2.3.3 from HTCdev.com is definitely warranty covered. They do state that 2.2 wwe aren't covered unless you should be on that so theres a risk there, but not with 2.3

Hi mate.
I been thinking about sending my desire back for a while as its got an overheating problem, I'm just waiting till closer to the end of my warrenty.
There is a guide on xda somewhere, I'll try and find the link, basically someone uploaded a eclair image, then you update the official froyo update over the top and trouble are back to stock.
Its takes some work to find it but it is out there. I saved the files somewhere so I'll look around but use Google and you can find it.

His phone is slcd. This will brick it. Also apparently it doesn't work any more. Not that it matters as its no longer required
Like already stated just flash 2.3.3 as its covered by warranty.

What's wrong with removing the link yourself?

Look up "attn1 ace advanced hack kit" in google. He has his work hosted off of xda but is the best method IMO.
