any way to remove s-off? my desire z wifi stopped working (hardware related) and i want to send it back for replacing.
I can unroot and everything else except for s-on.

If you have a Tmobile G2 use this guide (read and follow it carefully). http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Introduction
If you have a Desire Z with 1.72 ROM, you cant use the guide in that link.

Dude...super easy....well maybe not, but if you are coming from a nexus one, I reckon you may now a thing or two on how android systems work...you shouldn't have any issues.....the guides are pretty good. Go for full root so that you gain control over radio and such.
Good luck, its fun rooting these things!

+1. 'Tis the best way to do it.
Does visionary work because I want one click and a way to unroot cause I have a contract with a protection thing and I don't want to void it but I want access to the system for boot animations and to use vault to hide twitter and other apps I don't want.

Hi, I asked yesterday bout debranding my Vodafone branded desire hd, I just put my gf's t mobile sim in it and sent a text to another phone? So I take it it is unlocked but branded?
Is there an easier way to debrand a dhd other than all this Eng-s off stuff and that? All I basically want is to get rid off the Vodafone logo at start up screen, also what affect does having an unlocked dhd have on future software updates even though it is branded?? I mean the 1.84 update is rolling out but its not showing up when I search for it??
Please excuse the probable newbie questions, but I'm just trying to get my head round it all many thanks

Im on Vodafone and im not/wasn't branded whatsoever....
But you will almost certainly have to root im afraid! Its not all that hard at all so just follow one of the stickies in the development section
You dont have to, u need to make a goldcard google it

I've seen a debrand pack on eBay from funfoneshop, its basically a SD card that u put in ur phone and press power button and volume down button while off and its meant to debrand it, do u think it will get rid of the Vodafone boot screen and the apps or just the apps??
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Nope either goldcard or root
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
it will get rid of apps + bootscreen
from what i can read what they sell is a goldcard + htc rom (without branding) as image so u can flash it with bootloader directly
dont buy it ,create yourself, then u know what u got
Ok thanks, I would create myself but seems really difficult and confusing :-(

well i recently got a g2. it is currently unlocked but i want to get it rooted too. will the rooting affect the status of it being unlocked? it is tmobile branded so i am guessing it will unlocked by typing in a special code? thanks. also how can i root the phone? just send me a link. i am experienced in rooting as i have a rooted epic 4g and also my girlfriend galaxy 2.
No rooting and unlocking are two seperate things and don't affect one another. Not @ a computer so just google the link try "htc g2 root wiki" will be one of the first hits I'm sure. Read first make sure you understand, having said that its safe and easy

how do i know which is the appropriate clockwork recovery for my phone? i think i need the first one ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0:?
Any for the vision will work, you can always upgrade later. And in the future I recomend 4ext but it is mostly prefrence

thanks. almost done. going smoothly. not really liking the phone. isnt comparable to the epic 4g or the galasxy s2. might just sell it after i do this
Lot of people seem to think this way, personally I love this phone and for my needs there isn't a better one out there. I doubt ill buy a new one for years
