This is an hboot flashable version of the Desire-Z ROM built for the G2. If you're rooted and know what you're doing with hboot, read on. To install, rename the download to PC10IMG.zip and place it at the root of your sdcard, then reboot into hboot. It'll flash ONLY SYSTEM and BOOT. I'll post more details shortly but everything I am testing works. Sorry for the crappy picture, I am frantically typing to make things happen.
http://twitgoo.com/1qjp6v
Quick overview (this is way below my normal release quality but I've not had much time and am rushing a bit):
Pre-rooted with Superuser from ChainsDD.
Busybox installed in /system/xbin.
Removed apps to allow the ROM to fit on the G2:
AdobeReader.apk
amazonmp3.apk
FlashLitePlugin.apk
FlashLitePlugin.odex
install_flash_player.apk
Maps.apk
Quickoffice.apk
SoundHound_Freemium_2.1.2b.apk
Stock.apk
Stock.odex
teeter.apk
teeter.odex
YouTube.apk
Most of these apps can be installed from the Market. Everything else is completely stock as it exists on the Desire-Z.
THIS IS NOT MEANT FOR JOE AVERAGE USER. PLEASE USE WITH CAUTION, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE. IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH HBOOT FLASHING THEN STEER CLEAR UNTIL WE HAVE A FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY.
LINKS PULLED AS THIS ROM IS NOW OBSOLETE. Visit the following thread instead:

Enjoy!
FIRST i hope.....
downloading and flashing now
Would i be able to root it after flashing it with the current g2 method ?
Bring virtuous to the g2 please
yay... this is all I wanted
also thank you!!!
Thanks for this i'm downloading now
Absolutely awesome. Thanks so much for this.
So if we're already rooted should we just install visionary to get root first then lock it in?
This is going to be fun...
nice job, but damn work. i just got home and was planning on doing this, so u beat me to it ...
did u modify system so it would fit on g2 partition?

That's exactly what I did. Uploading another version now which has less removed and is pre-rooted.
rmk....Ive been following what youve been saying about the rom on irc since sense 2.0 on my g2 is all i wanted.
could you possibly post a "change log" which would just list things that youve removed from the rom that people might want to know (search app, etc).
Also, is the rom working as fast as the g2 worked or is it like when we first put sense on the g1?
Third to last question, in case something goes wrong with installation or if I want to go back to the vanilla, is there a rom I can flash to go back to vanilla or am I stuck with desire z rom until someone makes one? Also do we have to clear data/cache like we normally do before flashing another rom or what?
second to last question, by installing in hboot, you mean rebooting into hboot then going into recovery to install or what do you mean?
Last question, are the keys mapped correctly or are they desire keys?
Please answer these questions, I want to make sure I know what I am getting into before I plunge. Thanks for all the work!!
P.S - sorry for all the questions.

sweet. another quick question, i see were only flashing system and boot. did u do a factory reset before flashing so it wont boot loop. if not wouldnt it be like going from aosp to sense without wiping?

I dont like senes but like learning. I thought the z and vision had the same chip? So shoukdnt it had fit in the nand? Also eont the pc10img flash a lock down hboot? Or you swapped it out and having s-off means it doesnt look for a sign?

Yeah of course, it's completely different software. Rule of thumb= similar software(plain froyo->plain froyo), no wipe; different software(sense -> stock, stock -> 2.3, etc), wipe

no, installing though hboot..... we still don't have a custom recovery, put the rom on your sdcard and it should detect it

Very cool, glad to see somebody putting a better firmware on the G2. Hope to see rooted version soon.
Also my overclock carry over if I install this firmware?
And a complete noob question probably, sorry. Will all my apps carry over?
I'm on it right now and it's pretty awesome!

Yes running a ruu will unroot your phone by placing you back onto the stock HTC rom with android 2.2.1 froyo. And unbranded means that the rom doesn't have carrier branding, like 02 vodaphone 3 tesco mobile ect.

Just out of curiosity, are you going back to stock for warranty reasons or because your selling the phone?
If not did you know that there are custom stock roms which allow you to keep all the benefits of root and have a stock rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318 Look in this thread for Sense based roms (Rempuzzle or DK custom rom being the best 2) and if you need any help flashing them post here, someone will help.

Its not because i am selling the phone or something. Its because i wanted to unroot and then root again and have a rooted HTC Wildfire with stock rom. I will find a xda unroot guide and then i will post it here and ask if its a right unrooting method. I dont wanna get my phone ****ed.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA
You don't need to unroot to flash a new Rom, most roms are already pre-rooted, a stock Rom would need rooting, busybox a custom kernel etc etc installing the stock roms I mentioned would already have that part done for you and can be flashed from clockwork mod recovery, just download a sense based Rom put it on your sd card then reboot into recovery by powering off the phone, then press volume down and power to get to hboot use the volume buttons to select recovery then press power, once in recovery perform a backup, then select wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache, next choose install zip from sd card and find the rom, install it then reboot into your fresh new HTC sense Rom.
Those roms are custom though so they do have a few slight differences to a fully stock Rom such as new wallpapers that kind of thing.

Use the link i posted above
- Dowload the RUU
- Connect your phone to PC and run RUU
- This will downgrade your phone OS to eclair (android 2.1)
- Let it do the bizniss and when it boots and says finished on your PC,
you will have a ****ty phone. (but dont worry) because this is what
you want
- If it doesnt work, use another RUU and run it. Just make sure it says
2.1.x.x.x in the title to make sure u go back to android 2.1. and not
1.4 or something.
You will not have CM7 after this, or any remnants of it, it will just look like basic android. It will not be branded, i.e. it will not have t-mobile splattered all over it.

Lmao I'm glad you solved your problem but can I just say how much of an asshole I think you are! Everyone who has posted in this thread have just been trying to help you achieve what you wanted to do or like myself offer an alternative which would involves less work when rerooting your device which you did say you wanted to do.
Custom sense roms do not **** up phones especially the 2 I mentioned, its muppets like yourself that don't read instructions carefully and thoroughly, before I rooted my device I made sure I had all the tools and know how to put it all back to stock beforehand. Perhaps you should do the same next time.
General Information
Since everything here is on fire because of the sense jellybean leaked firmware and many are crying that they do not have the appropriate CID to flash the new firmware, and some also replied to my post they are not able to boot with that UNOFFICAL and BETA METHOD i decided to write this short guide.
At first, i do not think that the rom flashed with this method is working as a daily for you, more a preview for when the devs found a way to bring the update also to carrier branded phones.
Things that are reported to work with trips 3.4.11 kernel but not with his 3.1.10 kernel are:
- Usb storage ( )
Things that will not work are:
- Sound
- Youtube App
- Wifi Dropouts, not for me but another person mentioned it
This method does not update your hboot. So you´re safe to go back. And one more time, this is just meant as a preview for now, so dont expect the full jellybean experience. be lucky that we have trip and can at least boot this
So here will be the general instructions for all jellybean sense roms.
1. Download your favourite jellybean sense rom and put it on your sdcard
A few of them:
ARHD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603 (not available for now)
IC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588669
Maximus: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601543
Ordroid: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836919
2. Download trips kernel from here: http://tripndroid.bindroidroms.com/TripNDroid_RVISED_3.4.11-002.zip put one copy on your phones sdcard and one on your pc
3. Repack trips boot.img found in the previously downloaded .zip with the ramdisk from the kernel which is included in your rom that you downloaded in the first step using this nice little tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815607
Put the repacked boot.img in your fastboot folder
4. Boot your phone into fastboot mode and flash the repacked boot.img you downloaded using following commands
------> fastboot flash boot boot.img
------> fastboot erase cache
5. after this boot into custom recovery and perform a full wipe (including system, data, cache, dalvik)
6. flash your rom (just in case: tick none of the options in aroma)
7. flash modules from trips kernel which you placed in step 2 on your sdcard
8. boot into your jellybean preview.
Credits to shnizlon for the rom, to TripNRaVeR for his 3.1.10 kernel that offers this possibility , finally to chrisoverson for online repacker

Hi a few people have confirmed that it works, but there are some bugs as stated in the op, so you can give it a try to see what all the fuss is about and so that you don't have to feel totally left out, but currently it can't really be used as a daily driver

Already try it one the day 2.0.0 out.. but the most i hate is no in call sound.
about sd bug, I think it is because of vold.fstab, as the sd mount is different as ICS, that why it not detected in JB.
I tried this last night, and YES it does work.
However it's pretty unusable and i ended up flashing back to viperX. Still it was nice to sample Jelly Bean.

it could but the boot.img i provided is only for ordroid. i don´t think it will boot with insertcoin or arhd as they made custom ramdisk modifications. But you´re right, basically if you repack trips kernel with the jb sense roms kernel ramdisk it will boot i think

why you need RUU or stock recovery? This is the same way to flash custom rom with our own choice kernel.

haree - What state is your phone in now? i.e. Is your bootloader unlocked?
I have received an upgrade from my network - Three UK - htc One X
I rooted my unlocked Evo 3D previously, but reading into One X root, I'm finding conflicting information and no straight forward solutions. I have had 2 software updates already - 4.0.4 now. Sense 4.1
Does it matter that I have these updates and that the phone came from the carrier?
Anyone know the best way to get it rooted, so that I can backup the stock Rom before choosing a custom?
Thanks

Please explain what you want ? Are on complete stock and want to update or are you on a custom rom and want to update ?
And is there still an update available or did you update it to the latest 4.0.4 sense 4.1 ?
I'm a little confused reading your text !
Update 4.0.4 comes with sense 4.1 this is one update not 2 separate updates !
Please give the proper info so i can help you with this
If you want to root you must unlock via HTC dev first . And second there are devs that has made it easy for you .there's apps in the dev section that will do it all for you here's one i found for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604439 and once you install your recovery you would want to make a back up of your stock Rom

Hi
It is stock, just thought I'd mention that it updated to 4.0.4 recently. Wasn't sure if it would affect the rooting process.

If you want to root you must unlock via HTC dev first . And second there are devs that has made it easy for you .there's apps in the dev section that will do it all for you here's one i found for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604439 and once you install your recovery you would want to make a back up of your stock Rom

Hi
Thanks for the reply. Do you have to go the HTCdev route with this? I don't mind doing it a harder way, just the best way. I'm guessing it doesnt matter that the phone is locked to a carrier.

You can still root it following the rooting instructions, there are even video guides for it. It is something everyone can successfully do
If you use that app that I recommended in the previous post HTC dev is built in the app

No problem at all, and after the install of the cwm recovery please make a backup of your rom...
And read in on flashing boot.img files with fastboot commands, very important to know and learn how to use them !

S-on is normal ! We don't have s-off yet that's why you have to flash the boot.img file with fastboot commands !!!
Well i don't want to sound as a fanboy but i'm with team venom from the beginning (team pokemon in the beginning) it has some really nice features and customizing stuff !!!
If you need any help you can always PM me ! :thumbup:
Hello Frnz,
I just want know if cyanogenmod 10 is suitable for One V or not?
I've been to cyanogenmod’s official website n they say it does not support however, many ppl claim to otherwise.
Help would b much appreciated
Yes it is supported and highly customisable and great for one v.
your wrong! it isnt officially support by CM, but that doesnt matter at all. its running great for the One V and i recommend it alot.
I meant its dev support is great.not official support.
Sorry for the misunderstanding

I've had good experiences with cyanogenmod 10.1 so far. PACman up to 19.3 works well but without bluetooth, I can't get anything after that to work. I haven't tried anything else for the one v

U have Root or have to root?
If want to install any custom ROM just unlock bootloader and flash recovery through PC adb
For easy..
Just go through HTC one v all in tool kit, found in general or development section

I can't believe I am asking a question as stupid as this, but I'll ask it anyway ...
... where do I download CM10 for a HTC One V? I find the CM website, and can see that the One V is not an officially supported device, but which version of the CM10 software do I need to download?
Sorry to be so slow. I know it's a thick question and I must be missing something somewhere.

Here's the download link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996761 (this is for gsm)
Fantastic - thanks very much!
I've downloaded it and installed it, and now the 'phone is in a boot-loop. I'm not quite sure what to do about it, but am sure that this isn't the right thread for it!
Thanks for your help. Off to try and find the answer ...

You need to flash hellboy kernel, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1954967 download the latest for cm10 and flash it
Great, thanks again. Of course, the 'phone won't boot so I can't connect it to a PC to download the kernel to the micro SD card ... good thing I have an adaptor and an SD slot in my lappie, eh!
CWM will load a ZIP from the memory card, but the kernel isn't a zip - it's an img file. Do I replace the boot.img in the zip for CM10 that I am using, replacing the existing boot.img file in there, and then move that (modified) zip to the memory card?
Oli.
No u need to use fastboot. Remember how you rooted the phone? Same thing. Put the file.img in your fastboot folder on pc, on the phone, hold power for 10 seconds, it will turn off. Then hold vol down and power, after some seconds release power but keep holding vol down. It will get to hboot. Connect to pc with cable and on the phone click fastboot, it should say fastboot usb. On the pc, open cmd, locate your fastboot folder and type fastboot flash boot nameofkernel.img, wait for it to finish and reboot the phone. It will take some minutes but then it will boot normally
Thanks, I'm just trying that and it's rebooting as I type. (Hope it's not in another boot loop!)
Out of curiosity, why can't you simply swap the *.img files within the ROM zip? (I tried this and it doesn't work.)
Oli.
OR
Y can try the all in one Toolkit where u can flash Kernel in one go!
EASY AS [email protected]! :fingers-crossed:
Thanks. I came across the all-in-one toolkit after I had unlocked the bootloader and rooted the 'phone, so assumed I had no use for it from that stage on. Perhaps I need to have another look at it.
How long should the 'phone remain at the boot screen when booting CyanogenMod for the first time? It's still there (concentric cyan coloured rings, spinning in opposite directions) and has been there for a good few minutes now. How long before I assume it's in a bootloop and go back to a previous restore point?
Oli.
5 to 10 mins max i guess
If it stays there its good, just wait, if it reboots it's not good you need to downgrade your radio using ruu. Let's see :thumbup:
