[Q] unrooting HTC Desire Z - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
Lately i've rooted my phone ,and i'm like rooted for a week now, and i'm using MIUI ROM atm.
But i wanted to know how i could unroot and get back to my stock rom? , my reason for this is because i think my camera is broken so i need to send it back. when i launch my camera i get like rainbow colors.
Could someone lead me to a unroot HTC desire Z guide, or help me?
to get my HTC sense Stock back.
Thanks.

Turn off camera effects?

it's not my camera effects , that's the 1st thing i checked , i also tried other camera's apps all ended up as same effect. It's probably broken.
But i got a next probleem :/ , i dont know how to unroot my phone , looking everywhere for guides but really cant find one. besides i already tried to get 1.34 stock on my phone which is impossible , it wont detect the PC10IMG.zip in hboot and the back-up i made of 1.34 rom back then is not possible to recovery anymore either , it keeps getting stuck at boot screen, could my phone be bricked?
can someone help me?

Mate,
If you use google with this keyword "How to unroot htc desire z", you will find a link to unroot DZ/G2. But I will not put it here because it is not in XDA
Cheers

the guide that you mean is the guide i tested.
it says G2 - t-mobile \ HTC desire Z
i tried that guide and ended up with a G2 t - mobile rom , while i need a HTC sense stock rom , so that's a guide for G2 phones. and you also need S-On and as i can remember while u root u get S-off
my friend told me i could unroot my phone by simply re-installing 1.34 and then let it update ? , but the problem i have is it wont detect the 1.34 PC10IMG.zip package
, and yea i did rename it to PC10IMG , but it still wont detect it :/ , somehow i have a idea that my phone is damaged cuz of the t - mobile rom. because i had no root acces when it got installed so i had to reroot it to go back. previously before i installed the g2 rom accidently , i could go back to my 1.34 whenever i wanted , and now it isn't possible anymore since it will get stuck at the boot.
anyone know how to detect 1.34 PC10IMG? or how to atleast root my phone to HTC sense stock

What does it say in the bootloader, I presume you are S-ON ?

I was S-off, I installed rc3, when I saw the rc4 I download it via rom manager, when I click to install i click wipe data and ask for recovery i click yes, then stuck n the white and green letters, the funny thing is that my phone is S-on now..
But all my root applications works... is so confusing!

S-OFF hasn't got anything to do with root, other than you need root to get to S-OFF. So your phone has gone back to S-ON but is still rooted, that's why you can't flash any custom ROMs.
How did you get to S-OFF, was that the "old" method of dd'ing the eng hboot ? Or did you use the new gfree method ?
I did the old method, using terminal... do I have to do that again? because im still have cyanogen rc3 up.
There's a new method to do it now, using a program called "gfree". See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855764 for the details.
But you're saying you can't boot the phone right now ?

this is so pro for me... I think I will wait for a easy way!!! thanks a lot for your help!!!!!!!!
Can you tell me what the benefit. Of the "new" way is over the "old" way? I used the old way and have had no problems... but is there something that might come up? I've yet to root my wife's G2, should I use the new method?

The method of rooting hasn't changed (either Visionary or rage). But there's a new way to get S-OFF, which also gets you other things too (like SIM unlock). The new way (gfree) of getting S-OFF is a lot safer than the old method (less chance of bricking if you flash the wrong ROM, and easier to recover from semi-bricks), so I strongly recommend you go that way.

How to downgrade to 1.32
HTC - Quietly S-OFF. Again.​
About:
The problems started when HTC released their 1.72.405.3 OTA update. That update could not be rooted, and many people got stuck in stock roms. Now a downgrade method has arrived! After this process, you can use any root (+ S-OFF) method you want. Basically your device will be just like any other Desire HD with older build version.
System requirements:
HTC Sync (or ADB drivers)
Desire HD with build number 1.72 or higher
How to downgrade:
IF you have a branded device, you have to make a Goldcard. Use "mmc2" instead of "mmc1"!!
Download the attached file and extract it
Get stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip ROM
Connect Desire HD to a computer. Charge only, USB Debugging enabled!
Open up a cmd and go to Downgrade folder, execute:
If you got "#" in the result, you have temproot! Proceed:
Put PD98IMG.zip to your SD card. You can close the cmd and set connection to disk drive.
Reboot while holding volume down, it will go to the bootloader
Follow the instructions
Done. You can now proceed with old S-OFF methods, and remove the PD98IMG.zip from your SD. I recommend Radio S-OFF for new users.

Works the same way to just put stock Rom on and failing that just run the 1.32.405.6 ruu on your pc it should do it for you as the I did it when I started from scratch

I have a very good suggestion for you...Flash ARHD 2.0.9 (or any other custom roms you like)...forget HTCs ROM. You will love your DHD in that way...and your phone will be more happy and more yours!!!
thank you bro for your reply i am already runing 1.32 rom on my DHD !! so can still go with the method you send me still? thank you so much bro
thank you man for the suggestion you gave me ... but i really want first to get the stock rom or even learn how to flash with my dhd . best regards and god bless
hello again i just wanted to say that today i tried to turn the fastboot and i downloaded an stock rom : 1.32 then put it on the sd card and enter the bootloader then update ... it worked great and everything went back to normal exept that i dont have the amazonmp3 app ???? i dunno why ? and i went into setting and tried to get the software update while searching it poped up with : your phone is up to date , there are no updates availablee for your phone ..... please anyone could explain to me why=?

[Q] What should i do?

Hey everyone,
Lately i've been trying to get to stock rom , which seems to be impossible since my phone wont recognize PC10IMG.zip , in Hboot , and my camera gives purple/green colors, i've been trying for a while to unroot my phone but i really think it isn't recoverable anymore , once i accidently putted G2 stock rom on my Desire z because i was following the wrong tutorial it seemed.. but my phone normally runs htc sense , so i rerooted it to get permission to recover my old roms back , but from of that moment i only got trouble , my phone only recovers my MIUI rom and not my 1.34 stock sense roms which i backed-up and which worked previously and not anymore , they just freeze and splash htc boot screen.
So i guess i got no other choice then send it back to HTC? and let them fix it? , i'd probably have to pay 100,- or 200,- since i got illegal rom on it.
What would you guys do in this **** situation lol :/?
