Wait, what? If you're already rooted, what are you trying to accomplish exactly? I'm confused...
I just want to downgrade my g2 to 1.32 so I can do sim unlock with gfree.

but you're already rooted. How did you root the first time?
It's easy... I used visionary 1.4 to get root access and install rom manager for clockmod recovery and I forgot about gfree till now..

I have been lurking around for quiet some time and I can't figure out which is the latest and best method for rooting? I am currently using desire z with latest 1.82 firmware. I new to android and rooting. So i decided to ask before i make mistake and brick my phone. From what i have read there are 2 methods:
1. Downgrade to 1.34 and root it.
2. From wiki(not sure if this will work for 1.82 firmware i have)
Appreciate the help.. thanks..

You need to downgrade to 1.34 if you are on 1.82 in order to root, and yes the downgrade process for 1.72 also works for the 1.82 rom.

yes you have to downgrade... i used this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
...for perm root i would suggest to use the wiki guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
thanks, no one click root? It looks so complicated...
There is also a one click root... But i dont recommend it, because it has a high potential to brick your phone

Thanks! I rooted it yesterday, took me 5 hours to downgrade and root, but was all worth it. Wasnt very hard, the steps were easy to follow. (I have some experience with adb)

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.

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.

I sent Ptaylor09 the file a couple days ago and I'll make sure I send it to bombaider in a bit. If you want, I can send you a Dropbox invite which will afford us both additional storage space. Then you can easily share files thru your public folder. Just PM me with your email if you're interested.

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.

Could this operation "erase" root and s-off too?

You will lose root and your custom recovery as this will set everything to stock, but you will still be S-OFF and it will be easy to root again

But it's not working. I tried it on my Desire HD (with ARHD 7.0.4) and I got error.
Link to error picture - dl.dropbox.com/u/3908508/error.JPG
Have you tried what happens what happens if you press recover? And is your phone a telus desire HD or was it branded when you first got it?
And make sure it's on charge only mode when you connect it to your computer.

I have not tried to press recover. Yes, the phone was branded and it was Vodafone. Now I'am using ARHD 6.3.3 (because 7.0.4 is not stable and buggy). Kernel 2.6.35.14, baseband 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M, build number 3.12.405.1.
Well that could be the problem. you need the ruu for branded Vodafone, but you should be able to run that ruu if you got a goldcard.
Do you have a goldcard?
