I have a problem on the unrotting evrrything went fine but after the flash of the PC10IMG.zip file i still have s-off what is the problem..
*ps when i try to enter in cmd
adb shell it shows me the $
and su still $
when i try to open the pc10img.zip file on the pc it says corrupt or invalid any help plz

you have to re-run gfree to get s-on.
The $ shows you don't have root access, which is to be expected having flashed a stock rom.
su should've returned permission denied, again stock rom.
Invalid zip is windows explorer not being able to handle signed zips. Use 7zip

[Q] Rooting problem

I have been trying to root this Dinc2 and have had nothing but trouble. I HTC dev unlocked it, then read the instructions and relocked it.
I would appreciate any help.
Here is the first step where I am getting an error.
PHP:

TacoRoot: HTC Edition v1
By Justin Case (jcase)
Presented by TeamAndIRC, RootzWiki and AndroidPolice
With great assistance from Reid Holland (Erishasnobattery)
----------
TacoRoot: HTC Edition v1 is based on a vulnerability independently discovered by
both Justin Case and Dan Rosenberg (Rosenberg first). I believe unrevoked and
AlpahRev were also aware of it.
----------
Usage:
--recovery : For this exploit to work, you must have booted recovery at least on
ce after your last factory reset.
--setup : Setup the phone for root, must be done before --root.
--root : Root the phone.
--undo : Remove TacoRoot.
----------
Rebooting into recovery, please press Volume+, Volume- and Power at the same tim
e, and reboot the system.
rm failed for /data/data/recovery/log, No such file or directory
link failed No such file or directory
Thanks again.

Which guide you following? Mine? Try running "tacoroot.sh --recovery" then continue with --setup.

Run "adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --recovery," hit VolUp+Power at the exclamation mark, then VolUp+VolDown+Power to reboot, then continue the guide with "adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --setup." Let me know if it works.

I never get the red exclamation point. Could the fact that I installed Clockworkmod recovery before rooting have something to do with it?

How did you install stock recovery?

I was htcdev unlocked and tried following prototype7's guide on how to downgrade from that section but couldn't get it work. I was browsing and came across this thread so i relocked my phone, and I'm having the exact same issue he had. Although I don't know how to reinstall stock recovery, can someone direct me to the correct thread to do that after I reunlock myphone ._.

It wouldn't lemme edit, so sorry for double post. But also I have 4ext recovery installed currently and I reunlocked my phone

im stuck cmd wat do i do first i just want to downgrade my firmware 2.3.4 i dont care about the backup i dont have important files on the phone

That's fine a backup isn't needed, if you are getting the "version is older" or whatever then the gold card you were making isn't working. I assume you have adb and fastboot set up properly (it works for you correct?) And your SD is formatted to fat32 with room on it?
If you copy and paste the input / output from cmd here I can see where you are going wrong.

do i skip the Gaining Temp Root and the Changing Version Number yes the adb and fast boot is working fine and my sd is a 32gb and fat32 so wat do i do next also do i have to put my htc g2 on debug or just usb mode can u list the cmd which one is the right way

need to have phone in debugging mode (only way to get adb to work) and follow THIS GUIDE the one you linked earlier,
start at the beginning and dont skip a thing until you get to "I-3 temp-root backup" only skip this part.
if you have troubles copy and paste the input / output from cmd here, thats the only way i can see an error

Is there a fix for HTC Sense restarting?

Ever since I upgraded to the official Gingerbread 2.3 ROM for Desire Z I have had the problem with Sense often restarting when I go back to the home screen. I have tried a factory reset but it didn't help. Is there a fix for this or is the problem just something you have to live with with 2.3?

Try adding swap partition. Are you rooted

No root access is needed to run this command. Make sure usb debugging is on and adb is working.

Maybe permissions? Did you accept superuser access on the device?
Else I don't know, at best I could only check once I get home to see what it's like for me on my terminal. Hopefully someone can help you before that though, I'll only be home in like 6 - 7 hours

have you rooted the device before this?
SU installed and working?
bootloader unlocked?
Seems like your not rooted.

Are you trying to use the temproot method? That only work for the Verizon M8 so you'll have to unlock via HTCDev to S-OFF (and then you can lock it again so HTC won't know)

Doesn't work either. You have to unlock the bootloader, flash the custom recovery and then root it. You can then go through the S-OFF guide

I can't, it all worked fine for me so I've not had to do it since. All I can say is follow the guide on the firewater site to the letter...
Taken from http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/
Ensure device is booted to android with usb debugging enabled.
USB 2.0 ports are preferred.
You should not be connected using any hubs which may cause connectivity issues
Ensure that lock screen security is disabled on your device.
no passcode lock
no pattern lock
no face lock
Download firewater HERE
Push, Prepare, and Execute firewater:
adb reboot <–important!!!!
adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
adb shell
su
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
/data/local/tmp/firewater
