Yo, again problems with fckin htc devices.
I just downgraded the rom from gingerbread to 2.2 froyo.
After that I rooted the phone, but now I cant install cwm recovery via adb.
Always gettin the msg "failed, REMOTE: NOT ALLOWED "
Debugging is enabled.
Anyone can help me with that crap htc phone?
Calling your g2/dz crap doesn't make it so, it just sounds like you don't know what you're doing and then complaing that it must be the phones fault... kinda flawed logic.
But if you want some help rooting it why don't you post a copy of your cmd output/imput and we can see where you went wrong. Also maybe link the guide you're following as there may bed a better one that is easier for you to understand

Htc is crap. I got also a sensation. I got more than enough bugs after the ics update.

Well that is the right downgrade guide, now you need to root it, follow the xda wiki to do that... if you have issues post the imput output of cmd

The phone is already rooted and S-off
During the rooting process and gaining true radio soff you will have a custom recovery.
Did you follow the YouTube video to root then?
The only method you won't to use to root is with gfree
Either follow the xda wiki
Cyanogens wiki
Or straw metals PDF guide
For the most part anything else you do will cause you problems

Yea, I followed the youtube video.
How can I roll it back to s-on?
i just quickly looked at the youtube video and it seems it was having you run gfree for the exploit which is good but doing it through terminal emulator not through adb. shouldnt be an issue doing this but im too lazy to go through the video and see if it was telling you all the right things, either way you need to check and see if gfree worked.
check THIS POST out, follow the steps at the bottom and see if gfree worked. if you have true radio s-off than flash one of the pc10img.zips through hboot or fastboot - fastboot is the preferred method as if there is an error it will tell it to you and you can choose not to reboot until it is fixed.
if you need further help feel free to ask
Just checked it.
But got one question
"~make nandroid in recovery"
How can I make a backup without recovery? :x
As long as it says secure flag zero you are safe to use the pc10img.zip
The nandroid is just so you can restore easy, instead just flash a new rom
But you may just want to flash the recovery through fastboot if you're not interested in changing radios etc, so long as you have an engineering SPL you can do this, if not flashing the pc10img.zip will give you one.

how would i flash the G2 eng Hboot if i flashed the desire z hboot???
In theory, you could just follow part in the G2/DZ wiki that refers to installing the hboot. You flash using adb or terminal emulator.

You think if i wanted to unroot i would be able to with the dz hboot
No matter which eng hboot you have your still going to need the hboot your phone shipped with. I have never really read the unrooting guides but I would imagine that one of the steps would be flashing the original hboot
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
Read the CyanogenMod Wiki.
If we could get a definitive topic (like this one) that just laid out exactly how to return to your correct hboot WITHOUT unrooting and all that crap, i know lots of people would be happy. I know i know the directions are buried on page 4095732096578 in some topic, but a dedicated thread with exact directions on how to return a g2 to the g2 eng hboot (WITHOUT UNROOTING AND FLASHING FULL PC10IMG'S) would make alot of people happy, and less weary about flashing the new roms we are getting. Just my 2 cents that aint worth ****.

Hi, i've been looking around to help my friend with his new desire,
I would like to see if this works, according to my research...
If I ran the phone through unrevoked, would this root the phone?
And in turn, let us install rom manager + clockwork mod?
I don't have much experience around here as I am still looking about rooting my nexus
Hope you can help
Details needed.
Bootloader info, phone info...
Sent from my customized HTC Desire using TTP
I'm gonna have to ask about the bootloader info, but it is currently running stock (latest) which I think is 2.2?
EDIT: How do you get into the bootloader? Is it power+ volume down?
Yes.
TouchPaled from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
If its running 2.2, chances are very high that you can root it with unrevoked. Make sure the hBOOT version is 0.93.xxxx
Sent from my HTC Original Desire using Tapatalk
If its the same as mine, yes unrevoked will do. However, i was having issues with CwM before so now im using amon ra recovery.just a heads up
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Ye, thats right, I just found out that it is 0.93
So my plan on my original post will work?
EDIT: Do we need S-off? And how does this affect the phone?

It will work. As long as the drivers required are properly installed. And you don't need s-off unless you are planning to change the boot partitions (eg. Change from Stock hBOOT to CM7r2 hBOOT to get more space for apps)

If your still not 100% sure I don't think you should even try rooting your friends phone. You'll need the htc usb drivers installed on pc, make sure the htc sync apps is not installed.
Use unrevoked to root and install cwm recovery, from there you can install any of the great roms.

Please read the rooting faq in my signature. There's also a guide there which incorporates pre requisite information which (for some unknown reason) is missing from most other guides.
But read the faq too. It's not about blindly following steps. It's about understanding the process and what you are doing.

All of the oneclick methods have a high brick rate; the safest way to root is via adb as listed in the wiki. Its quite simple (I was drunk when I rooted mine), just follow the directions and double check your typing

Follow the wiki guide. Follow exactly the guide. Should be no problem.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA App
The wiki is the best way.
Use the Wiki as it is the XDA approved method. Now you will need to down grade so you need to follow the wiki in the exact order that it is. If you cannot follow the instructions, then you probably should not be rooting your phone in the first place.
You may want to take it to a fried that you trust to do the work and show/explain to you what they are doing and why. What are your goals for a rooted phone.
I've rooted my Vision twice with ADB and it gets easier once you get the hang of it.

Well it's very common that people get intimidated at the mention of ADB when they start out to root their phone... You could follow rooting instructions on my blog www.desirez.strawmetal.com you could try out the HTC Super Tool or use the regular guide there.. hope i could help you
My response to another guy (with basically the same question) just earlier today pretty much covers my thoughts on the matter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21280578&postcount=18
Wiki guide or strawmetals (or the guide in CM Wiki, for that matter) are essentially the same, I believe. But it looks like strawmetal was kind enough to package all the needed files into one download package, and simplify the steps a bit.

The downgrade is the hard part, and that requires adb.
Once past that, you could use the visionary/gfree method (not the visionary perm root method). It's pretty safe from what I've heard. I know some will disagree, but I've done it 3 times successfully with gfree.
i try to set up adb but my computer is dumb!!
it never reads my phone i tryed like three diffrent adb still nothing
If you haven't already, check out the adb guide in my signature to see if that helps.

hi i too need apps or method for rooting my phone of rom 2.3.3 offcial of bild number 2.42
please help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The title really says it all, but I'll explain a little further. After making a CWM Recovery backup of my current ROM (SpazeDogs) my SD card was not working and I had no signal. I looked for a number of solutions and decided to recover back to stock, using the HTC Gingerbread RUU and extracting the PB99IMG.zip from it. However, it now seems that my issues were in fact caused by a corrupt misc partition and I've painted myself into a bit of a corner as I no longer have root or S-OFF. Being on Gingerbread (2.3.3) means I cannot use Visionary, and GingerBreak also doesn't work. :crying:
After a full day of searching for a solution, it seems I can connect my device to my computer through Wi-Fi, then use ADB to root with zergRush. Following this I can then flash the misc partition. I have noticed a few people here that have done this and said it was successful, however the zergRush binary and files required to perform this manually following the tutorial appear to be missing, and so I don't know how to proceed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW how will you do ADB over WiFi? Thats only available on rooted ROMs like AOKP etc.

Thanks for helping folks, I actually managed to use the method I described above with the help of a friend who was more familiar with ADB than me. ADB over Wi-Fi is built in to the stock HTC Gingerbread ROM (at least, I assume it is, as I did not have root and was able to set it up through Android Terminal Emulator without SuperUser).
Can you share how you set it up with terminal emulator.
The basic issue which I understand here is that without ADB android will not allow pushing the zergRush binary to /data/local partition.
Help, I think I messed up my phone (HTC Desire Z). I tried 2 root my phone. But after I s-off my phone I tried to reboot it and... It woudn't work :c. Can anyone help me? I searched for it but I Didn't find anything what can bring my phone back up. Please Help me someone.
well after the downgrade process you would be @ froyo, I'm sure a diffrent os then you were using, this would have changed you radio/spl and rom at the same time so there would be a functional os. after obtaining s-off and a eng hboot then you in a sence wiped your phone of an os, therefore it will not boot.
one of the things in the guide you followed (assuming you followed a proper guide and did things correctly) was to install a custom recovery. boot into recovery and flash rom of choice... now your phone works

Thank you so mush for your replay. But I don't know what you really mean. I did follow a guide @the unlocker. And I did every step correctly. But can you maybe give me a guide what I need to do? I'm just a android noob :c. What to I need 2 do exactly?
not sure what the unlockr uses for root, if you don't have an eng hboot then you may not have fastboot access. just boot into bootloader and check
first some lines should say either eng soff or ship soff, if it is ship soff I suggest following a different guide to root as you will have many headaches without an engienering spl
also the search function works quite well in both xda and google, just look for terms like adb for dummies, or fastboot commands. if you are having issues just report back with your findings

Thank you for you replay. It says soff. But the problem is that I can't use my phone anymore with adb. And I can't get in to my phone anymore. I stuck @the HTC startscreen and it woudn't continue .c My phone is bricked but I cant recover it anymore :c
why can't you use adb or fastboot? did you try? and does it say eng soff or ship soff on your bootloader screen?

If I Try to use ABD It say's Device is offline. Or Cant connect 2 device. Ant It says 'ENG S-OFF' and when I try to Recovery there happends nothing, There is just that a triangle with a. ;C i'm so desperate.
then your rooting method did not get you a custom recovery, you will be best of going to irc freenode #g2root, here you will get real time help. being you have an eng spl there is a good chance things can be fixed. just make sure you jump the gun and try to flash a pc10img.zip from hboot, if you flash the wrong one you will be stuck for good, so be double careful how you proceed from here
just google search irc freenode, and sign into #g2root and create a temp name, if no one is there to help right away just stick around a bit and I'm sure some one will show... be patient
