hi, i just bought a desire z and permrooted with visionary r12. how do i get eng s-off so i can flash radios? because the guides i saw here said i should first get temp root then push the hboot.img then permroot. my prob is i am already perm rooted but not yet eng s-off
Visionary is not recommended for permanent root because it doesn't work reliably for all phones.
I would follow the procedure listed in the wiki, it uses gfree and will give you true S-OFF.

I just bought my new desire and I find out that the screen is Slcd and my SPL is HBOOT 0.83. Which guide I must follow to root this device?
thx
Use the one called 'root method for hboot 0.83 slcd'. Obviously that is what you want. It's in desire Android development section. Search is your friend...

Its not radio s-off, unless you have ran gfree you don't have a true s-off, just a similated s-off, there's an explanation in the Wiki on what the diffrence is.

Any plans for a One-Click Root app using the gfree method? I know there VISIONary, but I've heard some bad things about it.
I used visionary r12 abd survived....i dont see the point to reroot usibg gfree.

Depends if you want S-OFF or not. Gfree gives you full radio S-OFF, which is much safer than if you only have the "fake" S-OFF from the eng hboot.
Also, gfree gives you SuperCID and SIM unlock too.

I've been searching Xda, Google, and have been working on unrooting this phone for literally 5 hours already and I've done the Hex Editing, then PCI110 or whatever, and everything is stock and OEM except its still on S-OFF.
Very frustrated and I know theres a ton of unrooting questions but I'd love for a quick reply.
Thanks!!!
Edit: Searching Some more, I've come across a thread with all radios, so I want to fastboot this 1.19 radio but I just wanna confirm from anyone.
U have to temp root the stock rom and use gfree to turn s back on. Its all in the vision xda wiki. Guess u were reading some half assed guides or something?

Thank you!
and I used the thread on xda and the unlockr and posts under the xda thread and haven't seen anything about temp rooting.
Or flash an official ruu through pc10img.zip method like I did. Took longer to download the file than it did to return my hboot to pvt ship s-on with an official rom

Don't use a thread. Use the xda vision wiki page. It has the tool for temp rooting there and all the directions to do what I posted

So that is the easiest and only way. I guest I could wait for HTC to unlock hboot or say revolutionary to break it.

I supose but revelutionary won't be able to root your dhd unless there's been a break through to s-off dhd like that.
I'm affraid that is currently your best way to root, I had the latest ota update when I decided to root I tried twice and it worked

After downgrading you can follow this guide to root:
