I believe that any ROM that requires the Desire Z Hboot, says so in the first post of that particular ROM thread. For the Virtuous ROMs that require it, they have a link to the process for installing the DZ Hboot, and that webpage fully explains why its needed also.

I have a g2 vision and flashed the dzhboot to run sense 3.0 roms. Now I would like to unroot my phone and was wondering if I have to flash back to vision hboot before starting the process. I have done my homework and found these methods of doing it here is one

But they don't say anything about having to flash a different hboot so do I ?
Thx

I think if you flash the (an) official PCIMG10.zip from the sdcard it writes over everything.
That said, since I used g-free for s-off, when I flash an official PCIMG10 I'm usually left unrooted but with a 'fake' s-off.
I think you mean PC10IMG.zip close enough though lol

Hi!
I am developing a ROM (port from HTC MyTouch 4g) for HTC desire. Now i want to set up the ROM for the stock HBOOT and cm7 r2, but i have no ideas, how to do that.
Can you help me?
How big is the rom firstly?
the folder is 317.0 mb and the .zip 243.4 mb
Forget the CM7 hboot initially. Concentrate on getting it to fit in stock.
This thread is a good start for you:

so it isn't possible to run my rom under cm7/h2, just under stock hboot?

It is possible. But it will require a lot more stuff to be placed on the sd-ext partition. However, you should start by attempting to fit it into stock hboot and see if it works well before deciding to fit into another hboot.

thank you... i will try it first for stock hboot
Hi all.
I'm all new to custom roms, rooting etc.
I just rooted my HTC Desire using unrevoked, and I want to flash the RunnyMede 4.5
Is it necessary to have S-OFF? I tried using alpharev hboot reflash utility, but it failed saying my phone wasn't supported or not recognized.
Best regards,
Yorba
Read the thread post, it will tell you what the requirements are

All important information are mostly written in the rom's thread.

I wouldn't bother as 4.5 has a few issues noted in the rom thread. I'd wait for 4.6
Okay, thank you for the heads-up.
I can't seem to find any information regarding S-Off in the rom thread though. In addition, I can post a reply on the thread because I'm new to this forum.
Also I was new to rooting and flashing until this summer. But I can strongly recommend alpharev's "AlphaRevX". This tool was extremly easy and quick to use. Have done S-off on 2 desire's with this tool without any promblems .
Wasn't alpharevX replaced by revolutionary?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
Would say so.
SwiftKeyed from dGB with Transparent XDA App
I actually had to use revolutionary before I could even root my phone. My hboot wasn't supported by unrevoked (1.06 I think). Revolutionary is a great tool.

My bad rootSU, Your'e right. It was!
asaik you do not need to be s-off to use runnymed. But you need the right partition table to run this rom right. If your are still at stock you need to use Bravo CM7 r2 - see alpharev[dot]nl/ (not allowed for me to post links yet)
You just contradicted yourself. In order to change to the cm7r2 partition table you must be s-off.
Swyped from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App
Thanks for correcting me - just forget the fact that s-off is required when changing partition table
You dont need to s-off if you dont want to. Just run chaqmols rom converter script after you flash the rom.
edit: i justed flashed v4.9 without the rom converter and on stock hboot. runs perfectly. about 1.4gb internal memory.
It would be alot easier just to s-off though.

I got S-OFF which was very very easy and painless using Revolutionary!
I then flashed cm7r2 hboot and then Runnymede4.9, and everything is running smoothly!
OK I'm new to this phone is the G2 and the desire z the same device or different don't want to flash wrong files

T-Mobile G2 is an american version, it doesn't have Sense.
HTC Desire Z is an european/worldwide version with Sense.
So, hardware is the same.
the main difference is the hboot and stock rom. the hboot for the dz has a slightly larger patition for the system to allow for larger roms, the g2 can use the dz hboot if youd like to run certain larger roms after the phone is rooted

To further clarify what others have said, you can't flash a Sense (aka DZ) ROM onto a G2 without first flashing a DZ hboot.
I'm not positive, but I believe that a G2 ROM shouldn't be put on a DZ without an hboot change as well.
correct, a g2 rom will flash to a dz hboot without a problem. its only when the system size is too large that a dz rom wont boot (or flash) to a g2 hboot. you cant mess anything up if you try but changing your g2 to a dz hboot isnt too risky if you follow procedure. im still working on a cmtd script (sorta) so no matter the spl you can flash what you please. it seems very possible but need to work with a few guys who understand this more than me before i release it

I am looking to unroot my device, and I found this guide: http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/01/how-to-unroot-the-t-mobile-g2-htc-vision/. Do I need to restore to stock hboot, or can I just go ahead with this guide? I am running ILWT 471 right now.
look for nipqer's guide, it will be more helpful
Thanks! My only question is whether this will work with a DZ hboot. It seems like it should, but I'm not sure

yes of course, you can go to stock g2 or stock dz, it all depeneds on which ruu you choose
