how can i instal instal official froyo to my 2.3.3 - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i was able to download stock froyo from HTC but i don't know how to instal it in my 2.3.3 Gingerbread version.
also i don't understand this instructions attached to firmware
Please follow below command to download the official android toolchain: (arm-eabi-4.4.3)
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilt
NOTE: the tool ¡¥git¡¦ will need to be installed first; for example, on Ubuntu, the installation command would be: apt-get install git
--Modify the .bashrc to add the toolchain path, like bellowing example:
PATH=/usr/local/share/toolchain-eabi-4.4.3/bin:$PATH

Are you rooted with s-off? If not you must do this first if you want to easily change between roms. actually to properly root and obtain true s-off one of the steps will be to downgrade to stock froyo, follow the xda or cyanogen wiki to get there

This is your first error message. All following commands fail because of this. You cannot simply continue when one step is executed with error. You have to fix it and then continue.
The reason for the error message is simple. There is no such file as 'fre3vo' in the directory ‘C:\Documents and Settings\Patrolscsn’. Copy the file 'fre3vo' in this directory or change current directory to one where the file is located. If you don’t know how, then you should probably stop trying to root your device.

the fre3vo is in the directory!!!!!

Yes, the file fre3vo is in the directory:
C:\platform-tools
But your current directory is (the directory where you execute the commands):
C:\Documents and Settings\Patrolscsn
Execute this command to change your current directory:
cd C:\platform-tools
Good luck, you'll definitely need it

Hold shift and right click in the folder where fre3vo and fastboot.exe etc, then choose open command here
Now start from the begining

Thanks so much for the tip, finally after two weeks of searching how to get the magical // sign, I got it I’m ever grateful.:victory:
Please I want to upgrade my HTC sense, but I have no idea which custom sense is good for htc desire Z (I would have preferred sense 4.0 but sense 3.0 looks ok) which one should I go for?
Also which of the custom rom of ICS is best for desire z :highfive:

You’re welcome.
I’m not a big fan of Sense, but I would go for Sense 4, since it is more "lightweight" (consumes less storage and CPU) than Sense 3.x. You also have to distinguish between Sense 4.0 and Sense 4.0A which is even more lightweight.
Remember that our device has no official support from HTC, so all ICS ROMs are not perfect. You will notice some glitch here and there, but everything is getting better and better. Some ROMs are pretty stable thought, for example Andromadus Mimicry (which is based on Cyanogenmod 9.1). If you can live without Sense I would recommend you this ROM.
Here are some links to ROMs:
Cyanogenmod 9.1 - Andromadus Mimicry
Sense 4.0A - Gen.Y VisionX
Sense 4.0 - Ice Cream SENSEwich

is my phone bricked?

G2 rooting help, how to chmod?

I ran all the required commands and noticed that the chmod did not do anything. So I decided to run the temp root command abd I get permission denied.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Please anyone? I run this command "adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*" but it does not do anything, is there something I have to change on that line?
Been trying to root for 2 days now but unsuccessful.
you're not supposed to see any return on the command prompt. Just continue with the procedure.
Thanks for giving me a reply, waited many hours. THANK you though.
When I run the temp root command, I get this.

Downgrade help

I am following these steps
http://theunlockr.com/2011/07/22/how-to-downgrade-a-gingerbread-t-mobile-g2-so-it-can-be-rooted/
I typed /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FBA90000 -end FFFFFFFF
it then says exploiting device and then goes back to C:\androidsdk\tools and I never get the # command prompt. Looking for advice on what to do next.
Thanks in advance.
Did you retry 'adb shell' when it sends you back to C:\androidsdk\tools?
Cause the exploit is meant to kick you out of shell, then you have to go back in it.

That guide is for removing eng hboot, if you have eng hboot, there would be easier ways to remove it.
You need to get a root shell to proceed.
You could get help faster if you went to the #g2root channel on freenode irc [link]

Yeah should be working.
If no one responds immediatly in irc just wait a bit. It's not the most active channel, but someone will come along to help.
I'm not sure why it's not working for you.

when I did that it said "file not found" I do believe. So I then tried $ adb push PC10IMG.zip /sdcard/PC10IMG.zip and I got the same error.
I have both the PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip and PC10IMG.zip in the androidsdk\tools folder so this should work right? not sure why I am getting file not found.
Thanks for all you help also I am also there I can feel it
You can use the TAB key to auto-complete file names, so you can make sure you're not misspelling anything.
Make sure the adb push command is done in a C:\> prompt, not $/# (push before adb shell)

Ok, now I'm confused because this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 has this command under the "downgrade" section.

$ adb reboot bootloader
That seems to me they are saying to do adb push from the $ command.

0.76.2000 > G2
0.84.2000 > DZ
if you have a DZ you have flashed the g2 hboot which is why it wont boot
like pnut said you may be just fine and still just need to flash a rom
can you do anything in recovery from here?
just because that message showed doesnt mean recovery wont work
but if flashing a rom via recovery dosent work try this
download this : http://www.4ext.net/ddl/vision/recovery.zip
this is a version of 4ext recovery to be flashed through fastboot
unzip it and put the image in the same folder as fastboot.exe on your computer
(if you are unfamiliar with fastboot just think of it as adb)
now open a cmd in that directory (easiest way hold shift and right click in that folder)
make sure you have phone plugged in pc and in fastboot mode
now type this into cmd
Code:
fastboot devices
if you see some leters and numbers good, this is your serial number
now type
Code:
fastboot -w
now
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
now
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
from here boot into recovery and you should see 4ext recovery now (better than clockwork)
try and flash a rom from recovery now, something known stable like cm7
reboot and see if it all works
if you want sense roms or any other reason you want the dz hboot go here for a better explanation

thanks i have booth the phone back to life:victory:
but the gapps(gapps-jb-20120802-signed.zip) i flashed is not working...its like it could not connect. keeps showing sever error
is there any gapps i can flash in. i'm running on Andromadus Mimicry ROM – version 1.5.0
the gapps would be flashed via the aroma installer in mimicry, any google apps not included in the installer would be downloaded from play (maps, gmail, etc) even then you could just use a file explorer to download any .apk from your sdcard or use titanium backup to get any apps back

[Q] Rooting, pushed file not found?!?

Hey all! Desperately seeking help here: I'm rooting my MyTouch 3g slide, and have successfully completed all the steps up to this point where I need to run "rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin" from the devices "/data/local/tmp/" folder. The previous steps are as follows from cyanogen's wiki page:
"On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:"
Code:
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All of these with the exception of the last line are successful. After running chmod 755, I typed the following:
Code:
ls -l /data/local/tmp/
I get the following result:
Code:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5392 Aug 25 2010 rageagainstthecage-arm5
.bin
but finally, entering
Code:
/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
I get
Code:
/sbin/sh: /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin: not found
It's there. I don't get it. Heeeelllpp meeeeeeee
Here's a log:
Code:

Umm don't remember downgrading my phone last time .. but if i do so , it will help ?
last time you would've rooted it before the gingerbread update, so there was no need to downgrade.
but now that you're on a gingerbread rom, you have to downgrade to root.
If it didn't help, I wouldn't of posted it.
