First I used this method to root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837315
After trying it out i must of missed a step or something cause it would not go past the HTC screen.. at that point i went into HBoot and saw that I did have root but no image on the phone
The phone wouldn't allow me to install a recovery manually..I tried this methods
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834731 I couldn't connect to computer with usb drivers..i installed pdanet and still wouldn't connect so I tried manually and the phone wouldn't allow me to install it.
I then used the same manual method and was able to install the default recovery that comes with the phone. I can't find the link at the moment to that recovery.
I attempted to install the rom before OTA and the rom after OTA..and neither would install using the update.zip method or the hboot pc10img.zip method
I then followed this method suggested

After using that method I lost root as it no longer said S-OFF it now says S-ON
I posted some pics to help see what I see and to show what happens when I go into the recovery
http://rey.posterous.com/private/wwtdGtjFbr
After trying the latest guide that managed to help others I noticed that I now lost root as my phone now reads S-ON

I followed the guide on xda to root my phone..I must of missed a step.. the phone will not go past the HTC boot up screen. I held the volume down and power button and it tells me that there is no image in my phone.. also It will not let me go into recovery. It does say S-Off just FYI.
What can i do to get recovery or better yet rom to install?

Just tried it and it tells me that "file is wrong image" after I press bootloader from hboot
I basically need a rom that i can rename to update.zip and have it installed through the phone's original recovery..I have tried an old rom before OTA I found and wouldn't allow me to update that cause its too old..i also tried installing a custom ROM with no luck..

You didn't rename the file you downloaded did you? It must be named PC10IMG.zip for it to work. Alternatively, you can try flashing back the originally shipping rom located in the dev section (since the one from that linked thread was modified to remove the radio and such).
Edit: Link for original shipping ROM (assuming you have a G2).

NO i did not rename the zip file to update but to PC10img.zip and followed the instructions as asked.. i have tried an older rom before OTA and before the phone has said it will not take older image.. will try this one.. and yes I do have an original G2 from Tmobile

Strange with S-off you should be able to flash the customized PC10IMG that hot_hands made, may be you had a bad download try to redownload it and flash it again. If not I copied it the day hot_hands made it and have a drop box link for it.

What did you get the original recovery to do exactly?
Anyway,.... if you have the eng-hboot you will be able to use the fastboot commands posted in the other thread to flash the custom recovery.
If no eng-hboot then you will need to use the pc10img method. Have you applied any ota updates? Do you know what ROM was on there before you tried all this? 1St try pc10img method with the rom version prior to 1.72 (1.19 maybe?), if fail again due to older version then use 1.72. Infact as all are now rootable it shouldn't make a difference now.

The 1.72 rom was for the Desire Z not the Tmobile G2, so do not use 1.72 rom on the Tmobile G2.
Heres a link for the shipped rom's from Tmobile its only the top 2 on the list the other 2 are for the Desire Z:
Edit this is for the rom 1.12

Aha... apologies... thnx for the correction boss.
after flashing the recommended pc10img... i lost root.. its now s-on and the img didnt install

AAHK has already retired. If you take a look at second post (Sticky post) in in this general section, you can see the thread entitled "[How to] ROOT without the Hack Kit".
However, this tools will not provide s-off to you. Only give you privilege to run root and install custom ROM.
You are tech people? Able to reverse-engineered windows files in a few hours? Then this is ADVANCE method to achieve s-off > http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=411

AAHK will not working because the tools is automated to download certain files after it query your phone version info in order to downgrade it accordingly. And these files have already taken down from the server.
Please read the thread carefully in order to understand what the tools is supposed to be doing before run it. :good:

It needs Internet, but more than that, it downloads files from a server that is no longer up. Unlock the bootloader; it's the only easy way right now to get root and recovery, but you won't get S-Off. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500

It is not possible to install a recovery from gg play. You can use another app instead, but your phone must to be rooted before.
The most easy way to install a recovery image is using flashboot, anyway the tool I give you before flash the recovery for you

Those two guides say essentially the same thing: that you need to fastboot flash the ROM zip's boot.img. The DHD's bootloader unlock provided by HTC is only a partial one, so it doesn't allow flashing to the boot partition from the recovery partition, so it needs to be flashed separately from fast boot.

Hi,
I just installed a custom ROM for the first time on my DHD with stock 2.3.5.
I used Glevitan's tutorial and tool to do it. It gives you a rooted, S-ON DHD with CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500 (prefer his tool instead of HTCDev, even if it uses HTCDev procedure too).

Just take your time and follow his instructions. Every should be okay.

the guide was really easy to follow. the step by step on tacoroot. just make sure your sdk is up to date and add the path in advanced system settings "environment variables" for platform tools. make sure miniadb_inc2 is on root of C drive. follow steps. I think the little details can really throw some one off. It happened to me
But yeah I got S-off flashed the ICS firmware for the new radio 0320
Running Viper ROM 1.3.1
Well when ur flashing custom kernels or firmware its a lot better to be s-off that way you dont wind up turning your phone into a paperweight. Besides a lot more customization can be of use with s-off vs unlocked boot loader. Hope this helps.
