G2 with desire z hboot problem

Normally when you flash a DESIRE Z HBOOT ON A g2 THE PHONES DOENT COME ON AND IS NORMALLY AT THE HTC LOGO WHICH IS NORMAL (I KNOW) MY QUESTION IS WHY IS MY PHONE NOT SATYING ON THE G2 LOGO BUT RATHER BOOTING INTO MY PREVIOUS ROM BEFORING UPDATING THE HBOOT TO THE DESIRE Z'S?

Didn't the wiki guide have two sections during the root process? One to setup DZ hboot and another for regular if you didn't want to do it at that time? Perhaps you followed the DZ hboot setup during rooting thinking it was part of the normal process?
Or maybe I'm just nuts. It was a long time ago when I did mine.

I followed the link on the virtous site

If it was to load a sense based ROM then I'd assume that loading the DZ hboot was part of the tutorial. It is required to run sense ROMs.

Any1 no where I can download the dz hboot so I can flash sense Roms? I've tried the virtuous site and the thread here, neither one working.

That link for the DZ Hboot isn't going to work because it's to my Dropbox account and I've deleted the file... I don't use DB for long term storage. If anyone needs it and can't find it elsewhere you can PM me. And if you want to share it please link to your own hosting service.

How to root Bell HTC Desire Z?
Hey, I tried to root my gf's bell desire z with no luck. I tried the visionary method and it just hangs at the root screen for ever and doesn't root it. Anyone know of the preferable way to root bell desire z?

You're NOT going to want to use Visionary... it's outdated and when you use it you run the risk of bricking her device. Should be stickies to this effect in several places. The best resource for rooting is going to be found here under "Rooting the Vision (G2/DZ)".

They are separate... SIM-unlock, hence the name, allows you to use different carrier's SIM cards... if you followed the wiki thoroughly to root with gfree, you'll have SIM-unlock... otherwise, no those "one-click" methods do not unlock your SIM.

I Have the only Desire HD in this world that can't be touched.seriously

hello,
I own a DHD which is branded to a French telecom SFR. its already S-Off and running android 2.3.5 with software number 3.13. As i am writing now i have tried so many different methods to root, debrand and flash a custom rom but nothing happens.
I even tried AAHK , which promted me to download and i agreed by pressing "y" in the cmd. it went on to download the firmware for the downgrade. After the download it booted into the bootloader and nothing happend. The sd card wasnt check for anything. So i made some more research and it looks like i had to create a gold card. So i created the gold card ,placed the downloaded downgrade firmware (PD98IMG.zip) to the root of the gold card and booted into HBOOT. when i got into it , this was what happend.
SD Checking...
Loading...[PD98DIAG.ZIP]
No image!
Loading...[PD98DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PD98DIMG.zip]
Wrong image!
Loading...[PD98DIMG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
this process took more than 30-40 mins. After, it just went back to HBOOT without doing nothing.i dont know what to do anymore because i have tried everything but its not working. Has anybody ever downgraded and rooted this type of DHD before.?? i am wondering if AAHK suports software no. 3.13.
SOmeone please help me on what to do.

I hope somebody can help you mate. Just out of curiosity, did it come stock with Gingerbread?

My HTC desire Z is supporting most of the roms I wipe/factory reset, superwipe+ext before installing any Rom mine is running dz hboot and not g2 and everything is doing good . but the problem is that After installing any rom & installation of softwares when I try to restart my phone after my phone keeps on rebooting again and again and it does not go inside the operating system and then I need to flash the same rom or different rom again plz help... I'm new to this rooting and things....

Anyone to help plz
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

Superwipe is a good idea so I'm glad your @ least doing this, it may be easier to help if you give more info, is this happening from the very first custom rom, after root? What method did you use to root? Can you write down everything on bootloader screen (mostly want to know ship soff or eng soff) can you name your recovery? Can you name the roms you have tried?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

Glad U're helping me sir. This problem is there from the day I rooted and installed my first rom cyanogen mod 7 Actually mine is ship s- off, I used the wiki.cyanogen g2rooting guide and another one for getting sd card golden. First I used clockwork mod recovery now I'm using the latest in 4ext recovery. Now I'm currently using andromadus mimicry 1.5.0 its working perfectly with many softwares until I restart if I do 'hot reboot' no problem occurs
These are the list of roms I tried and problem starts wen I restart or switch off my mobile and then switch on:
1.andromadus audacity beta5
2.cyanogen mod rc9.0
3.Android_SpeedDaemon_Fantasia_v1.0.0_vision
4. G2slim1.6
5. MikRunny-v1.0-DeOdex-signed
6. RCMix.Energized.7.26.2012.Fixed.Kernel_Ver2
7. Strawmetal-1.Mi.V2.0
8. sensewich1
And many others too
Plz help!
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

Well you are best to get true s-off with an engineering spl. I assume you either missed a step in the guide you followed or you went with the official htc unlocked bootloader. Either way you can fix this, and I suggest you do
Pretty much you need to relock the bootloader, then downgrade, reroot and flash the eng hboot along with everything else.
The best guides to follow to root and soff are
Cyanogen wiki
Xda wiki
Strawmetals pdf guide.
You can google search these easy or if I get a minute then ill link you. But first you need to relock your bootloader
I believe it is something like
Fastboot oem lock bootloader
I can't recall of hand but nipqer has a guide on this
If I get some time ill get you links, but for now just search a bit and read up, good luck!

Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

Just boot into fastboot mode
Type fastboot devices, if you see yours then proceed
fastboot oem lock
Now do
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This should bring you back to hboot, if it says ship s-on then your good and you can proceed to root and gain true s-off
If you continue to have trouble log onto freenode irc #g2root, just google it if you can't find it, there is a link in the xda wiki for rooting the vision

Desire stuck at HTC logo..

Hello everyone.. My friend's desire stuck at HTC logo, nd it doesn't go any further.. It's un rooted, and s - on..can u please guide me how to solve it. Or any useful links are welcome... Thanks in advance..

Try flashing the 2.3 ruu in my sig. All your data will be lost, but at least the phone will be working.
Put the zip on the root of your sd-card, boot in bootloader (vol down+power button) then select yes when prompted.

Silly question may be.. So no need to connect to computer or need to be rooted? I'll try it today.. Thanks

No need.

I did as u said, but it shows radio_v2 failed=PU, AND nd lastly update failed..others like splash etc shows ok.. My hboot changed from 0.93 to 1.02.0001and still problem persist.. Now radio is 5.11.05.27, what happened? Now it's boot looping with HTC logo and 5vibrations every time.. Plz tell me how to solve it..
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

Ok...now we know why it was bootlooping in the first place. You have a radio brick. A radio brick is a kind a brick that we can't do anything about. Somehow, your radio got corrupted.
You will need to send it to a service.

But it's not boot looping before flashing that ruu.. I can't send it to service as it's bought in USA, he is using it in India.. Is there any alternative?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

The only thing you could do is trying to flash the ruu a lot of times, hoping that it will eventually work.

Same ruu or anything else?? Does that ruu work for any radio or is it selective for my radio??
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

You could try other ruu's, but you'll need a goldcard if your phone is branded. Check out bortaks guide for other ruu's.
The 2.3 ruu is the only one that doesn't need a goldcard, cause it's not branded.

I saw a ruu with same radio number as mine.. And it's in wwe format.. Can I download it and get its ruu? I'll try ur ruu some more times..

You could try the wwe.

I have used it on HTC Desire for s-off and cwm after few other metods and everything worked just fine. There was no misconfig. Tried few custom roms after and every instalation was successful.
Doing this is always risky. One missed step and you can brick your phone. It is always good to know what you are doing when you do s-off (disabling nand), flashing bootloader, instaling cwm, etc. and offcourse carefuly read manual and follow steps.
