I've been trying to Downgrade my HTC Desire z for about a month now... it's because i want to root and install customs ROMs, and it seems there is no way to root and get S-off on android 2.3.3...
I have tried many ways to downgrade but none of them worked... can someone please give me a good tutorial on how to downgrade???
Thanks in advance.

If for any reason this does not work, you need to tell us where you are stuck. This method works without issue, you just need to follow it.

Hey,
As the title says above my Htc desire z , became g2 t-mobile.
This happened because my camera gives weird rainbow colors so i wanted to send it back to HTC but in order to have my warranty i'll have to unroot it.
So what i did is , follow a unrooting guide from google. which said unrooting for desire z/g2 t-mobile but it turned out that it made me install a G2 t-mobile stock rom , while i need to get sense stock on my phone.
Can anyone help me to return back to stock sense?
The stock i have now atm is the G2 t-mobile 1.19 version
other extra information:
VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.82.0000
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.02.01.15_M2
eMMB -boot

And after wiping i need to use the PC10IMG.zip of the 1.34 stock sense?
or do i only have to install superuser? since i got S-off
i dont even know how that happened to be honest wouldnt installing another rom through the RUU brick it?

ehm what i did is , i wanted to unroot my desire z , but it seems the guide wasn't the right one , it made me flash a stock G2 rom , and now i'm stuck on it , it's a RUU 1.19 indeed. i dont think my phone is bricked because i can go into bootloader anytime , you guys got any possibility to get back to sense stock?
thanks!

Can you exactly tell me which method i need to root it? , i rooted it before with the rage method PC10IMG.zip 1.34 , and isn't gfree included in it?
btw once i rooted this phone back then i couldn't load PC10IMG.zip files because he wont find them , so i turned it back again to G2 , so probably the bootloader is G2 now or something because he wont recognise PC10IMG.zip files anymore the htc sense stock ones.

Install the Engineering HBOOT and do HTC Sense RUU like normal.
It sounds to me like the ruu you installed was the stock tmobile rom.
I'd listen to pfac (right above this post)
try to find a ruu for the desire z stock rom
Hi All,
I'm newbie for rooting.. I have HTC DHD which has 2.3 gingerbread and 2.37 build. i read lot of posts to downgrade and root. my question is.. if i downgrade it can i restore it back to previous version (for warranty purpose.. because i just bought it few months before.. still covers it's warranty)...
Thanks in advance...
Ezhil
Yes you can. My dhd is still under warranty and I rooted after having it 4 days. Be sure you make and keep a backup of the stock rom as soon as your rooted. I have a copy on my sd and my laptop.

i apologise. i forgot that you have to downgrade first. without root you cant create a back up. its not vitaly important just a handy thing to have. not to worry. you can just use an RUU to restore your phone to stock should you need to use thr warranty.
Thanks twiztedvvv.. Is it possible to have dual boot in my desire HD?
Yes there is a post with the instruction on how to do it in the dev forum. I can't get you a link right now though so do a search.

i have a desire hd running on android 2.3.3 its not rooted but it is S-OFF.
i want to root my phone so i can use a custom rom. however gingerbrick didnt work for me. so is it possible if i use RUU 1.32 to downgrade and then root it ?
Yeah that will work. Downgrade first and then use the visionary+ tool I believe it's called and you should be rooted. It's simple really, did it the other day. Once you have done it you then realise how easy it was

I had tried to root wildfire who was updated to 2.2. Now I had tried to root the phone. And near to the end there writes
Error:failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?
Does that mean that is impossible to root wildfire while hi is on 2.2 version and I must downgrade it to 2.1 version to root phone?
And how will I downgrade it?
And can I upgrade it again after downgrading.
Sorry for my bed grammar,and please help me.
Did you use the unrevoked method to root your phone? Cause it is a method rooting only 2.1 devices. Check out revolutionary.io where you should find all the guide to root your 2.2.1 phone.

I have rooted my phone,can I update phone to 2.2 again?
Did you use revolutionary method? It gives you s-off, and the ability to flash a custom recovery. It does not upgrade-downgrade your ansroid version. Go to settings, about phone, and there you can see your android version. Hypothetically, without flashing a new rom, like cm7, you are still on sense, so nothing has changed except the fact you have root access, which you can find out installing titanium backup from the market.
Have a happy new year with your new rooted phone.

I actually can't tell you which the best rom is, you have to see for yourself. I love cm7, though i've tried many roms with or without sense. Flash them, try them, and choose the one that suits you. Check this thread out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318&highlight=roms

Which sense 4 ROM did you try?
I'm betting its one of those multi device Roms. You need to find the boot.img in a folder called "ACE"

Not really, I don't think. Apparently there is AAHK2 available, but I don't know much about it as I never needed it.
When I s-offed my desire HD I was htcdev unlocked already, I used the manual method to s-off which for me, wasn't hard with lots of previous experience with my HTC legend.
I don't consider myself a noob anymore (I am still learning though), but im not good enough to ever be a developer either, I'll leave that to the gifted elite.
I know there is quite a few guides in the dhd forums that are really good, I'd suggest you have a look yourself and decide appropriately according to your own knowledge and skill which is best for you.
