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.

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 it's outdated and when you use it you run the risk of bricking her device.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.

What was your original rom? If there's one on shipped roms from your provider, you may not need a gold card.
Have you got the original roms details?

done that befor I even started rooting with it being signed that mean I dont need goldcard I hope so
If that's the same rom that was originally on it, then you wont need a goldcard
You could still create one tho! now you've been reading up. It wont do any harm at all.

Hmm... I think its better to use unforgivens method rather than Rage but that's just me. What problems are you getting with visionary? Visionary should just help you temp root. Once you get temp root that's when you start doing the real rooting. Try to follow unforgivens method but like I always say I advice to use the gfree method.

I wonder if HTC is making changes to the hardware that get in the way of using gfree. When I rooted my G2, My brothers G2 and my Wifes MyTouch 4G (all bought in November) I used gfree 0.3 with no issues. When I tried to use the same to root my sons MyTouch 4G (bought in February) it failed to power cycle eMMC, same result with gfree 0.5, luckily in my case gfree 0.2 worked, sounds like that doesn't work in your case (you said you tried all version, would expect that includes 0.2)

What is different about these newer phones that gfree isn't working? Is the HBOOT rado or other information off the bootloader screen different?
BTW my original G2 had the screen go out and the replacement I got in January I had no problems using gfree 0.3 to root it. My son's MyTouch 4G I got only a couple weeks after I got my replacement G2 but obviously there could be a bigger difference in when they were manufactured.
Check out this interesting series of postings from the Incredible S forum (regarding newer and seemingly unrootable Desire HDs): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980497&page=28
Nothing seems different to me. My HBoot is the same as stock, although after I rooted my first one, I flashed down to .76 although I'm unsure about my radio, I do know my radio was higher(26.06 I think) when I had CM7. When I get a chance later, I'm going to try flashing the release PC10IMG, even and maybe it will make a difference.

I already stated that visionary dosn't work on my g2, thank you anyways. I tried using unforgiven's method to no avail, I still got s-on at the top of my screen in the hboot. Last thing for me to try is flashing the stock PC10IMG like I mentioned I would earlier, I've yet to do it so wish me luck.

Note: the PC10IMG will not flash because its an older version. You would need a new version of the PC10IMG. Can you give me a details of what you did with unforgivens method? I rooted about 10 g2s owned by my friends with unforgivens method without fail.

Yea okay this is what you should do. You know the files you got put them into the root of your SD card
So rather than putting /data/local
You will put/sdcard/And what ever you have to type.
Just fallow through the steps but this time put the files in the root of the sdcard and in terminal put /sdcard/ rather than /data/local

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

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 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?
