No, in fact flashing an incorrect hboot will 100% brick your phone upon rebooting. Don't do it!

You can get it to the G2 when you either port it, or convince someone else to port it.

Good luck with that skippy.
But if you really want that ROM on your G2. Why don't you try looking at other ROMs out there for the G2 and find one that's similar.

How to check if Desire Z or G2?

It is possible somehow to check if you have Desire Z or G2?
I am asking because I would like to find stock ROM for my phone. What I know is that CID is HTC_032 if it is of course useful information. My operator is Era.
Your kidding right?
Anyway just look at the back of your phone if it just says hTc than you have the desire z if it says G2 you have the G2, but the G2 is only on tmobile so unless you imported it you have the desire Z.
Or if it says tmobile on the top of the screen its a g2.

If you are still on the stock ROM, you can check the ROM version by going to Settings>Phone Information>Software, or something similar (I'm not on the stock Sense ROM anymore, so my menus are a bit different). You should be on the stock Euro Desire Z ROM, but there are 1.34 and 1.72 versions (and multiple versions of each). Newer DZ's might be shipping with the 1.72.
You can get the stock ROMs here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision
Ok nice link, but has sb some key to figure out which could be the one from Era or at least for Polish market?

Are you still on the stock ROM? Did you check the ROM version like I instructed?
Unfortunately not and this my problem.

Looks like the OP has a DZ and not a G2. How can you tell? The XDA app detects what phone you have, correct?
Correct me if i am wrong, but having "HTC Vision" would mean "HTC Desire Z" and having "T-Mobile G2" would mean "G2". Unless that is ROM dependent, but still, it is a slight indication.

No I bought it as a new from one of our telcom providers Era. So it was probably branded, right? My region is Poland.

Did you do a Nandroid (Clockworkmod) backup before flashing the custom ROM? You should always do that. That will let you return to stock. Not sure how much branding the Euro carriers do to their phones. Someone else on your carrier will need to provide some info.

Yes, now I know it so now I am like Robinson Crusoe, flashing new ROMs and making backup from the last one which was working. Now I am on Virtuous and I like it pretty much.
I kinda figure that would be the case (no backup) but just threw it out there, as it certainly doesn't hurt to ask.
Does your carrier have stores where you can walk in and look at the demo model to see what ROM version? Was the stock ROM in English, or Polish? If English, I'm guessing that one of the WWE ROMs on shipped-roms.com is what you want, but there are 8 to choose from.
Otherwise, I think users on here from your carrier are your best hope. Maybe change the title of the thread to something like "Please help: Polish Era customers, Stock ROM version needed" to get their attention.
Any particular reason you want the stock ROM? Do you need to return to factory condition for warranty, or just want to have the stock ROM on hand in case that ever happens?

Is it possible somehow to make a backup of original stock Rom, if it is 1.7 or 1.8? I had to make a downgrade before rooting to 1.34 according ti the guide, so you do you mean backup of 1.34 or 1.7?

It never hurts to make a back up of both.

Ok, but how to do this before downgrading and rooting? I have found a colleague who has the phone from the same operator I would like to get from him his Rom because I didn't make backup of my own original stock one. We would like to do this before downgrading and rooting. How to do that?

one more thing...im so confused I dont know where to start if I want to try this...im on konis e3 if that helps...again thanks, if u dont want to help and give a walk thru I understand
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The deodexed version is themeable, the odex version has a slightly faster boot time and uses less space in system. That's the quick and dirty answer, anyway. If you want to modify it at all, flash the deodexed version, otherwise just flash the odexed version.
You're going to flash it the same way you'd flash any other rom. Follow the directions in the thread, I'm not sure if you'll need to flash the updated radios, etc. If you don't know how to flash a rom - I know you have a custom rom installed, but a lot of people have someone else root/flash for them - there should be a walkthrough floating around somewhere. If you need help or just want clarification, shoot me a pm. I have a fairly lengthy write up on everything to do with rooting/flashing/recovery/etc, I'd be happy to send you that or help you out.

The wimax, prl, and radio are optional; they will update what the are supposed to. You'll only brick your phone if you do a battery pull/battery dies during an update of the radio. You don't have to update any of those if you don't want to, but just wipe the cache and dalvik, then flash if you want to.
thank man...whats the benefit of updating those, which kernal should I use andwhats I hear its sense 1.0?
arent we on like 2.0 something?

Nothing really besides having an updated connection possibilities...PRI can affect your battery, but if its good, no need to change it. Yea, its sense 1.0, and there are sense 3.0 roms out there.
why would an upgrade downgrade like it did? whar the difference between 3 and 1¿

Make that 3! I have a base made for this device. I just need a damn recovery to add to it so I can release it! lol
Why not just wait until HTC puts the stock recovery on their support page?
The device just came out 2 months ago, i do not think anyone will be willing to tinker with their device at the risk of bricking it when its so new..
What exactly do you guys need?

We need either a stock boot.img or a stock recovery.

Thing is, you can't. You need at least temp root to pull the kernel or recovery. Stupid HTC encrypted their RUU so we can't just pull the file out.

We need a person to teamviewer with us so we can pull boot.IMG ( to make an unsecure boot IMG that gives you root ) and recovery. IMG ( so me or another fellow dev I know can make a custom recovery ) so this way development sparks.
