I also have Hboot 0.80.0002 with S-ON, that link explains how to download Hboot 1.00.0002 to 1.00.0001 but doesn't work with 0.80.0002.
I have rooted and installed CM7, would there be an advantage to upgrading the Hboot or to getting S-OFF?

Huge problems getting back to stock rom

Hi I'm using the Desire Z for nearly a year.
Now my touchscreen starts to make problems.
Here are the properties of my desire z:
CID VODAP102
Rooted with visionary
Super CID 111111
hboot 0820
S-OFF
As I'm using the latest Cyanogenmod version I wanted to do it the easy way an use the RUU (RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed.exe) This gives me either error 155 or 156.
The PC10IMG.zip from the bootloader is not recognized and it says wrong iamge.
Only PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip works. But from there I can only root, install rom mangaer and restore my old verison of cyanogenmod. even my "old" original image doesn't boot when I restore it.
CID is VODAP102 and a Goldcard is made with 3 different SD cards. So up to now I don't know anymoe what I can.
Maybe you can help me as I'm now trying to revert it for 4days and my girlfriend is getting more and more angry with me..
In the end I want to have the stock Rom on my phone and S-ON so that I can send it in for a warranty issue.
Best and thanks in advande,
Blubberor
P.S.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 this guice cannot help me either
It stop here:t>fastboot-windows flash zip rom.zip
sending 'zip' (291447 KB)... FAILED (remote: 02 data length is too large)
I don't think I am the first with this problem.
I would really appreciate any help.
Best,

Did you try this guide?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Unrooting_and_Returning_to_Stock
...thats the way i returned to stock, because of warranty
so I guess the problem is my hboot.
it was 082 S-OFF
Now I updated it to engineered 0.84.2 and at least the PC10IMG.zip of the RUU 1.34.405 is loading - not installing.
Maybe someone can help me now a bit more?
Best,
Blubberor
Did you change the misc-version?

Yes, I changed it and installed the stock rom for the G2. But stock roms of the desire z with sense don't work... :/
My guessing is, hboot should be different.

i also have a european desire z (vodafone), wait a sec i will look at my hboot - ok i also have eng. hboot 0.84.200. you need a different rom: not a RUU, which is a .exe, you need 1.34.405 zip (signed or not)

You are already s-off so you don't need to go through revolutionary process. I believe all you have to do is flash superuser

If you wnt a quick and easy root method pop over to htcdev.com and register and you can then unlock following the instructions. Once your HBOOT is unlocked just root with superoneclick. Works everytime

Why do you need to downgrade?
Because i want to root my desire hd. and you need to downgrade to froyo to root it.
thanks for your reply but the only problem is that i can't download the PD98IMG.zip in the thread because I'm getting a survey.
Do you know where i can download it?
The only way aside from the retired AAHK is to unlock the bootloader. You don't need to downgrade to do that.
I messed for ages with the hack kit but there doesnt seem to be a reliable download for the PD98IMG.
Use HTDEV to unlock hboot
Fastboot flash a recovery
Use recovery to install a custom rom
Fastboot flash the roms boot.img (extract from the rom zip)
Hope this helps
Stu
thanks for your replies but I fixed it. I just downloaded a froyo RUU and now I have froyo and its rooted.
