HBoot Version:
0.85.0008
Radio Version:
26.04.02.17_M2
Kernel version:
2.6.32.21....
Software number:

sorry for my bad english!!!! :-"

Please post what is on your phone now? Kernel version? build number? Software number? Hboot version? Radio? No one here can help untill you give as much info as possible. And Im not quite sure I understand what you said about root, did you have s-off before and now you have s-on, or have you always had s-on? What did you do to " formated to factory" exactly? What did you flash, RUU???
More Info Please.

Again if you were already rooted with S-off , and you say you did a factory reset , what exactly did you do to "factory reset"?????? In your first post you said you had perm root before, so this means you would have had S-off, meaning in order to get S-on you would have had to unroot your phone. How did you root your phone the first time??? What did you do to unroot your phone now???????? Doing a factory reset would not unroot your phone. So my guess is you never rooted the first time. So that means you must be doing something wrong in the rooting process, as far as I know your version is rootable, what methods have you tried and exactly what steps have you done in the processes.

I wonder if the 1.74 RUU worked at least enough to change the phone back to S-ON, and as has been discussed the 1.74 stuff can't be rooted using normal methods.
I might suggest this for help:

[Q] Root a HTC Desire Z 1.83.415.2

I have a HTC Desire Z from the Asia Middle East region with the following specs:
Android version:2.2
Kernal version:2.6.32.21-
Build Version and software version:1.83.415.2
Is there a way to get to CM7 i.e to downgrade/root this phone.
Thanks

Downgrade to 1.34, then root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
Pretty sure there are others here on the same ROM as you, that have done it this way successfully.

There's a couple ways to do it, the best way would be to follow the root method in the wiki using rage then get S-OFF with gfree.
Once you have rooted it, install Rom Manager and flash clockwork then download this zip and flash it to get a working Superuser.
Edit: You may have to downgrade to get S-OFF, I bought a NAM Desire Z and had to downgrade then flashed the ARA RUU.

Not able to downgrade
Thanks for guiding me
I followed the wiki guide correctly upto all the steps until....The downgrading part
And I am Stuck in the Downgrading process i.e Phone thinks the PC10IMG.Zip file is not a valid file in the boot loader menu and restarts to normal ,
Could this be due to this version(1.83)???
What do I do now!??
Do these details help:
VISION PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.85.0009
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.04.02.17

Did you make the gold card first?

Guide Here.
Anyways, it seems your Desire Z has a unique CID probably put on it by a manufacturer. All you have to do is make a gold card then you can downgrade with the gold card inside the phone.

[Q] Returning to Stock. Minor help required.

Hi everyone
I know there are many threads on this but I cant seem to get my head round what I actually need to do.
I need to send my phone for warranty and of course I will need to unroot. I am currently running CoreDroid.
I have the RUU that I want to install, so please can somebody outline the various steps I should take in order to return my phone to factory state including S-on?
As I understand it, I need to
1: Install the RUU (By the way does this change the splash screen that comes before the boot animation as I have a custom one installed?)
2: As this will go to version 1.32, install Visionary and temproot
3: Run Jkolos S-off tool to change the CID back to stock and reset S-on
4: Not too sure here
So if somebody could please change and correct these steps I would be very grateful. Thank you very much.

What I did was,
1. Flash the 1.32.405.6 RUU
2. PermRoot with Visionary+
3. Reboot.
4. Run Jkoljo's ENG S-OFF / Radio S-OFF tool to restore
-SHIP S-ON
-CID : HTC__001
5. Reboot
6. Reflash 1.32.405.6
After that you should have a Stock Desire HD running 1.32.405.6 Firmware with SHIP S-ON, Radio S-ON & a stock CID.
Your steps pretty sum up what I did.

That's it. I've done this twice and htc has repaired both times.

[Q] HBOOT Downgrade

My HBOOT presently outputs:
*** LOCKED (OOW) ***

I used the HTCDEV unlock to unlock until I found the GoldCard S-OFF method to S-OFF and S-OFF, as we all know > Unlocked bootloader. I used theq86's tool to relock to the original state.
My first question is: what does the "OOW" mean? I have that it means "Out of Warranty" and that it means absolutely nothing.
My second question is: can I downgrade to my original HBOOT? I do not the remember the version, but I'm sure someone out there knows.
My third question: if I downgrade HBOOT, will I lose S-OFF? It's no big deal if I do, I just want to have my GoldCard ready.
Fourth: If I downgrade to the original HBOOT will it still report "LOCKED (OOW)" or will it just say "LOCKED" and does that have any benefit over "LOCKED (OOW)" (I have heard that it does when sending the phone back to HTC.
I simply want my phone to look as stock as possible (with the exception of my ROM, which can easily be stocked) in case it needs to be sent to HTC.

It is not confirmed, but it seems to be Out Of Warranty because if you flash this bootloader HTC will reject warranty
My second question is: can I downgrade to my original HBOOT? I do not the remember the version, but I'm sure someone out there knows.
Yes, you can. Use my tool again and choose the third option "superversion"
Afterwards flash a STOCK RUU and hboot will be downgraded as well.
My third question: if I downgrade HBOOT, will I lose S-OFF? It's no big deal if I do, I just want to have my GoldCard ready.
I don't know, but S-OFFing again is no problem if it really goes away.
Fourth: If I downgrade to the original HBOOT will it still report "LOCKED (OOW)" or will it just say "LOCKED" and does that have any benefit over "LOCKED (OOW)" (I have heard that it does when sending the phone back to HTC.
If you downgrade HBOOT it will neither show LOCKED, RELOCKED or UNLOCKED because the standard hboots do not check this.

10 chars. my answers in red.

When you say to flash a stock RUU do you mean one of the ones from HTC Dev or elsewhere? Can you provide a link. If it would help, I have a marvelc with Virgin Mobile US.

In the dev section there is a thread where many many stock rom RUUs are. so take a look at there. it's one of the sticky posts.

To downgrade your bootloader, since your s-off just take the ruu with the bootloader of your choice. Extract the rom.zip. open it up and you will find a file called bootloader or hboot or something to that effect. Take that file and the android update.txt file. Zip them both up and rename it pg76img.zip
Put it in the root if your sdcard and boot into hboot. The phone will find the update and just flash it. Done

Is there a specific ROM I should be running? Using simonsimon34's CM7 port and with my PC running Windows 8 Consumer Preview (with HTC Drivers) I am told that the RUU utility is unable to find the Android phone.
Do I need a ROM with HTC Sync?

Which method are you trying?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium

I'm just trying to run the RUU.exe.
EDIT: I installed Vista and so far it appears to work. I'm going to wait until later to actually go all the way through. (I just went far enough for it to verify my "PDA phone".)

Might just have been your win 8 pal.

Can't ROOT it again!

Hey guys,
I got a problem, that I can't root my Desire again, and I don't know why.
My Desire was once rooted, but I unrooted after installing the original RUU 2.2. version of android, After that, I installed 2,3,3 version, but I can't boot it. It shows me some black screen on boot.
I updated to HBOOT 1.0.3.003 with the official ruu upgrades. Now I can't get back on track and root it again with revolutionary (cause it supports only 2 older hboot versions).
Tried with unlocking the bootloader from htcdev, not completing the final step with copying the code because it showed no one at cmd prompt.
My phone is now *** LOCKED (OOW) *** in the bootloader.
I'm stuck at rooting process, want to install some great ROMs, but I can't. PLEASE HELP GUYS, i really appreciate you!!![/SIZE][/SIZE]

I found some tutorials about downgrading hboot 1.03, but it was with creating a golden card to my sd. Is there any way that creating gcard is not necessary ?
