hi any1 out there got the gold card img they could post for me to use to root my desire or an easier way to do a gold card plz

Use the Gold Card tool in my sig below.
You could also root with a permanent recovery like UnrEVOked 3.1 (also in sig below) as this still gives you root without the need for a Gold Card - here's the guide for it:

My first phone went by no problem, but my screen died and now I have a replacement. Im following the method to root the my G2 listed on the CM wiki. (Wont let me link it)
No matter what version of gfree I use, it fails to powercycle the eMMC and wont completele the process.
Which radio is currently installed on your device?

You should still be able to root. T-mobile has not sent us any updates. what method of prem rooting/S-off are you using?

Visionary didn't even work on my original G2, I'm using the rage/gfree method... it fails to powercycle the eMMC, no matter which version of gfree I try... also I do have/know how to use adb

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)

Yeah I went down the list with the different versions with gfree... funny that me and you have an almost identical situation, I did my g2, a friends, and a mt4g... except gfree isn't working this time around.

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 know this is a risky situation but i think you should use "Visionary" to root it. This Permanant Root method can be found at:

Hope I helped
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

That didn't make a difference for me. After Visionary reboots the phone, I come back to try and sync it, and the phone isn't even rooted anymore.

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.

I sent Ptaylor09 the file a couple days ago and I'll make sure I send it to bombaider in a bit. If you want, I can send you a Dropbox invite which will afford us both additional storage space. Then you can easily share files thru your public folder. Just PM me with your email if you're interested.

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.

I think if you downgrade hboot and firmware far enough you could use unrevoked. I think captain Throwback has downgrade PC36imgs available for that. He's got links in pretty much all the root tutorials here in the general forum.

You can always get a sd card reader and put any necessary files on it. However any method of unloicking or rooting does require PC access. Google put a stop to rooting apps quite a while back.
Koush, author of CWM, was working on a CM app store that would be able to host all of these kinds of apps... so we just need to be patient and those days will return.

I have used it on HTC Desire for s-off and cwm after few other metods and everything worked just fine. There was no misconfig. Tried few custom roms after and every instalation was successful.
Doing this is always risky. One missed step and you can brick your phone. It is always good to know what you are doing when you do s-off (disabling nand), flashing bootloader, instaling cwm, etc. and offcourse carefuly read manual and follow steps.
