Bell Desire Z 2.3.3 Flash Rom - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I have a Bell Desire Z that I purchased used and now realized has been modified in some way before. It was at some Froyo version, but then I applied the OTA gingerbread update because I did not know at the time that it was modified. It is carrier unlocked for sure. In the boot loader it has the following settings:
VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.0013
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.10.04.12_M
eMMC-boot
Apr 11 2011, 23;36;27
So I assume it has S-Off, but it does not have root. I tried to run gingerbreak, but it just stayed at the rooting process screen for 15 minutes so I closed it. If I want to flash a CM7 rom, what will I need to do? Thanks!

Boot into clockwork recovery and do a wipe. Then flash zip from there

Hi, i am in the same situation as you do, I ve loocked up on the internet with no luck, and I finally got to this post. I wonder wether it worked for you, because I try to install recovey from rom manager, but it says, I do not have enough permissions. Did you succeed installing the recovery?
I would be gratefull if you can give me some light on this matter, cause I am lost.
Many thanks,

Help me fix my phone

Somehow in trying to recover my phone (don't ask..I'm stupid...) I ended up with the following:

can't load ANY ROMs, stock or modded.
I've googled and tried everything, a lot of which I need to use via adb, but since my phone won't boot, can't do that.
HELP.
I'm stuck on a G1 right now...
So...you can only boot into your bootloader?

if you are at least able to get to the bootloader screen
then here is the latest RUU from t-mobile/HTC

I've tried the RUU and when it reboots from fastboot-usb to bootloader, it just comes back to fastboot-usb and then fails the update.

Correct. If I try to go into recovery, it goes to the htc screen and goes no further. Factory Reset does the same thing.

[Q] Back to Stock ROM - available from any working DHD?

Hi,
I am in trouble. C.a. 6 months ago my DHD had to go to service because of headphone icon still standing at the taskbar and it was not possible to talk with anybody. After this i received new motherboard. Before that i had fully unlocked phone (root, S-OFF), but when i get it back from service, there was newest firmware installed, and of course s-on, no root. I rooted phone somehow, but s-on stayed still. And I can flash custom roms, but everytime I am doing this, I have to flash boot.img. Is it possible to turn S-ON to S-OFF? I tried many ways (AAHK, gold card + PD98IMG), downgrade to older version. Nothing was successful. The problem is, I think, that when any stock rom i am trying to flash with RUU, after rebooting to fastboot phone is locked on screen with HTC logo on black background. There is no progress bar of flashing, no screen with bootloader. What can I do to flash stock rom, can You help me?
On my bootloader screen already looks like this:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT - 2.00.0029
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMc-boot

Do you mean with HTCDev page? I tried this, but in step 14(i think) when the screen from android should appear to commit bootloader unlock operation, then happens nothing - the answer in command line window is ok - suitable to one in tutorial on HTCDev, but on the phone I can't see any changes. Well.. AAHK needs to install downgrade version and then there is the same problem like with RUU - phone cannot flash this version.

[Q] Need help with unrooting Desire HD

Sorry to probably ask something that has been asked a hundred times.
I have a Desire HD that was originally locked to Three Mobile. (UK)
I rooted it ages ago and now need to unroot it as I wish to sell it. (the place I am selling it wont take it due to custom firmware, they format the phone and see Hboot.)
I have a goldcard but no idea what to do now.
RUUs don't seem to work.
Baseband is 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M
Finally got back into hboot.

I have sync installed so that should be the drivers and not sure if carrier locked When I start it up it has the HTC splash screen then a Telus splash screen so maybe carrier locked. I have unlocked it though the HTCdev site and then relocked it
You need to re-unlock, flash a custom recovery from fastboot, and flash the SuperSU.zip from recovery.

I did relock it. but I never heard of the rest
No, re-UNlock it. Read the Ace Think Tank thread in DHD General for the rest.
