[Q] Noob struggling to find answer AKA stock rooted rom - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
Hope someone can point me in the right direction and I won't be a bother again
I bought a Desize Z, s-off, rooted, miui rom. I don't want miui rom and using rom manager I flased to cyanogen mod (sp?)
Now I would like to flash to a stock htc rom and keep root. I am unsure about using ruu and have failed to grab a rom image from an ruu already.
Can anyone point me to a rom and do I need to worry about radio versoin or hboot? Is there anything I need one consider to avoid bricking?
All help and advice greatly appreciated :-D

Do you have s-off or s-on?

You can try the virtuous sense 2.0.0 ROM, found here. It's completely stock but has is tweaked, has additional features and of course root.

NO DON'T DO SENSE
This is stock. This is faster, non-sense, so great. Go to G-Lite!

thanks for that - got me right to where I wanted to be, a new phone with a familiar ROM.
after having initially flashed to cyanogen_mod7 and used it for a couple of hours before getting back to HTC sence - I couldn't resist the Mod7 so have flashed back to that with Go Launcher X
thanks everyone for your help
I think I'll hang around

Agree that Virtuous v2 is good if you want a stock-ish Sense ROM. I wouldn't call it "completely" stock. But lots of customizations and optimazations, that IMO are all good, including overclocking, trackpad wake, and a bunch of other stuff!

I can't say for certain that these will work with the stock ROM, but they are your best bet.
UnityV4
Virtuous Sense a7
Have you conisidered try a custom ROM? if you want to keep it as stock as possible I recommended Virtuous Sense 2.0
Try unity v4 kernel, its for all sense based runs. Let's you OC up to 1.7 ghz. Link is in my signature.

I don't actually want to try a custom ROM right now, as i really like the stock one as it is. I may well try that one though when im bored of it! Is that sense 2.1 or just 2.0?

It is sense 2.1, it is based off the official 2.3.3 DZ update, think of it as what you have all ready but with optimizations.
Oh and welcome to the DZ forums.

That is correct, download rom manager, flash CWM, boot in to CWM and flash .zip
Easy, but if you need anymore help, hop over to the Virtuous Rom IRC and I will be happy to talk you through it

There is a way but I'm very well versed in how to do it. If you read the DZ/G2 wiki it links you to a guide on to root 2.3.3.

[Q] QUESTIONS ABOUT [ROM] 9.28 | Swagged Out Stock v1.9.0.4 BETA

Hello All,
I'm fairly new to the rooted game and custom roms and what not...I am currently under a stock rooted rom, 4.53.651.1 - Odexed & De-Odexed. I was looking into flashing the Swagged Out Stock and had a few questions...I tried to look for some of the answers but couldn't find anything definitive. First of all, is the rom based on the latest ota update from sprint (4.53)? Do I need to apply the same wireless-n fix that I had to apply on the current rom I have? And does anyone know for certain if this rom supports DTA2SD? I believe that's it for now. Thanks in advance and any help is appreciated.

Thanks man...looks like a great rom. So is DTA2SD baked in or do I have to flash it after flashing the rom? Also can I apply any of those 4g and 3g hacks that give u better signal strength and give u a boost..the ones that u have to do from the epst menu by dialing ##DATA#? Thanks again
Baked in, yes, and yes

Hey dude, great ROM. I was the one who requested the AOSP dockbar. I have the .png images I hoped youd use. Let me know, Ill send them to you.
by far my favorite rom, stable and great on battery life...thanx for all your hard work and stoked to see coming on nightlies now...

Custom rom suggestions

What is the best custom rom for the wildfire s?
Stable enough with a lot of features, a lot of internal memory for apps, visual customizable, long battery life, and doesn't lag much.. Any suggestions..
"Cyanogenmod 7 by alquez" It's the Best there is.
For Sense: Stock Euro 2.3.5 rooted with HTC Tools 3 and new Jikantaru kernel
For Other: CM7.2 by Alquez
Check my sig for my preference.
can't say that i reccommend this CM7 :s
i'm having nothing but trouble after i've installed it, and i can't seem to even get back to stock, it just gives errors :\
anyone who's not "upgraded" yet, i'd be very careful before going ahead with it for the moment :s
I had trouble with CM7 too.Installed it few times and always there was some bugs.
The most annoying was screen freezing and only battery removal helped.
but suddenly all that stopped and everything is working.
I will sure try some other ROMs,just to compare with this one.I am looking for roms without sense.

The ROM getting more exposure is going to likely show some things that need fixing.
If you can get it back on there your logcat logs and kernel logs will be of help to Alquez to address any issues with it.
I personally had an issue with my Wifi and had to use the radio lib from HTC Stock 2.3.5 to resolve it.
These things are experimental to say the least.

What was your problem with the Wifi ? I'm not seeing all the accesspoints around here... Not sure what's causing it.

I think you need to try a little 180 on looking at things here.
The fun of this is trying new things and overcoming challenges to have something off the beaten path, custom and cool.
Sometimes it takes some trial and error but have fun with it! See it as a puzzle or a challenge to overcome.

Your better off with a modified version of 4.0.4, it will be faster, have more features and just generally better, browse the One X development thread and see what's there, there is an android 4.1.0 Rom I do believe
I run the HTC Sensation ViperS Rom, theres one for the One X too, Its really fast, extremely customizable but will also look just like the stock Rom with few enhancements, check it out

Don't know why you want to return to stock while frankly stock has issues the custom roms address. Android revolution hd and viperx are based on the new base leaked HTC base 2.05 which increases battery life and tackles over heating issue. And other study. try them out.
After that if you want to return to stock. Flash the correct ruu for the hox available from the market

If the flashing of the custom rom was done perfectly they would have made a backup of the stock rom before flashing the custom rom.
Boot into recovery or use a file manager to see in cwm backups

I really need an explanation, I appreciate all the help I can get!

You can't downgrade your hboot. You should still be able to flash other ROMs, but you might have to repack the kernel with a specific ramdisk if you want to use an AOSP-based ROM (cm10/aokp/etc).

Definition of 'bricked'.
Dead.
Deceased.
Kaput.
Defunct.
No longer endowed with life.
Restricted to the capabilities of a poorly designed paper weight.
Passed on.
No longer of this world.
Bitten the dust.
Departed.
Beyond all hope.
Croaked it.

There'll generally be something in the thread for the ROM you want, e.g. the first post in the ICJ thread includes a link to a different boot.img to be used on newer hboot versions; install the ROM as normal and flash this instead of the boot.img included in the ROM. However GPS won't work, and possibly wifi might also have problems. Nothing that can be done about that until HTC release the new kernel source, so if you depend on either of them you're best off sticking to Sense ROMs (but feel free to try it anyway).

You did that the minute you unlocked it; even if you relock it the bootloader will show "relocked" so it will always show that the phone has previously been unlocked. Hboot version doesn't come into it.

Sorry for the OT, I m just helping to keep this great site tidy
You can't downgrade your hboot on a S-ON device, this because a version check prevent that.
But, you can install a (cm10/aokp/etc) ROM
You need to repack the kernel with the kernel posted by mdeejay
Online repack: http://nibble.cc/repack/
Kernel from mdeejay: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32486421#post32486421
Unfortunately GPS id not working when you do this.
So you have to wait until developers create a kernel fully compatible with hboot 1.31.
Or you remain with 4+ sense roms.
Lattest JB Sense release is pretty,I mean ROCK stable,and in software number it say's "release keys",so I asume that official update and kernel sources are not far away..
