im sure you can find some on youtube also
I just rooted my DZ for the 2nd time literally hours ago (got it back from repair )
It's pretty easy to do, just copy and paste the commands to avoid typos, and download everything before hand (before you have to use it), and be extremely patient and don't freak out. If something does go wrong though, don't improvise, hop over to the #g2root channel on IRC and there's people there who can save your butt
Good luck! and trust me, it's worth it
Follow the Wiki guide carefully and you'll be fine. Ask questions here about anything you're not clear on, there are lots of people who will help you if you're specific about the problem.

You're in the right section but quite frankly the best way to do it is the follow the guide , I did it with NO prior experience and it worked flawlessly just follow the guide on the desire z page of cyanogen wiki I would link but on my iPod ATM

Use the following guide, it is incredibly simple yet swift. Contains root methods for both the DesireZ and the T-Mobile G2 :

but can somebody give me the full instructions step by step how to do that cuz im a noob in that.
my android version is:2.3.5
and if i do something wrong what can happens?
Search for Advance Ace Hack Kit on Google. If not, look in the Desire HD General section for Ace Think Tank and look there, the team over there (me included ) will help you out

Yes, first get AAHK, unfortunately it has been removed from XDA, you you must google for it. I have made a small guide on rooting and backing up apps prior to flashing new ROMs, might shed some light too: http://projects.lanik.org/AndroidProjectROMs.htm

The ONLY working tool is the Hack Kit as everybody said. Find it here: http://tau.shadowchild.nl
As long as you follow the instructions in the Site and in the effen manual and your phone has no hardware issues, you will be fine and nothing will happen. The Hack Kit has been used thounsand of times successfully. You even have an IRC support channel in case you get stuck, besides the thread that Guy told you. :cyclops:
before you use the hack kit, be aware that it will downgrade your os, root it, s-off, and delete all user data.
i CANNOT STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF READING THE EFFEN MANUEL.

Hi All,
I am a noob or atleast newly registered to XDA but have resolved many issues over the years with your help so thank you very much for all your past help.
I have recently rooted my old htc desire without a blip, then dropped it and no amount of XDA help will resolve that issue, more rubbled than bricked...
I have an HTC Desire HD tied to orange that I want to root and flash Jellybean ROM (open to suggestion of a better ROM). Every step by step or guide I have found in a few hours of searching tells me to use AAHK but all links on all sites to the download result in a 'page no longer available' or redirect but not to a download page
I am nowhere close to truly understanding the technical side of rooting, I have a lot of respect for those that do, but I can follow directions. Without the actual software the directions don't lead anywhere so I'm at a frustrating stand still. Any help anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.
I see people usually list some system info so here is mine
HTC Desire HD
Android 2.3.5
Sense 3.0
Kernel 2.6.35.10-g931a37e
[email protected] #1
build number 3.12.405.1 CL199157 release-keys
If anymore info is required I will get it on here asap and thanks for any help you give me, cheers

Lol.... I needed that. Been in a bad mood for nearly a week. I managed to refrain from replying a few posts today.
Sent from a dream.
sorry for the newbie question but ive little to no idea when it comes to this sort of thing.
my contract is up on my HD which is on Orange network & im now wanting to put it onto Tesco & after trying the sim inside the phone it will no longer take either sim & is saying ""SIM network locked please contact customer care"" so do i need to root the phone for this to work & will it also debrand it as i no longer want the orange crap on it anymore.
thanks. for any advice :good:
I know AAHK does SIM unlock as part of the process. Then you can flash an unbranded ROM.
thank you for the quick reply..
so if i do the AAHK i should get it to accept the Tesco card at least.? that's the main thing i'd like to unbrand it but its not really an issue as long as i can get it to work on tescos network..
i paid for it unlocking today & sent off my IMEI number but they emailed me saying it can not be unlocked..?
thanks.
Even if a phone is SIM unlocked, I believe the carrier can still lock the SIM card. So whether you can use the Tesco card is up to them.
Hi everyone!
I am new in XDA Developers. I was actually following the "[GUIDE] Downgrade G2 (2.3.X) & DZ (2.3.X) & mT4g (2.3.4) & DHD w/ S-ON to Stock Froyo". I made it safely and confidently to the I-4) where I got to download the stock rom but surprise! None of the 3 links for the G2 is working. All broken! Which broke my heart too. I am desperatly trying to find this stock rom somewhere on XDA Developers as I don't really trust other random websites. So my question is:
Where can I get this stock rom? Do you have a working link?
The stock rom for G2 is supposed to be called : PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b _26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip
Help!
Thanks,
Tomfun
PS: I search through the forum and did not find something helpful, hope I did not miss a link somewhere in this forum
