I have a new g2 with gingerbread stock and i wand to root it.
I found that visionsary doesnt work and i need to install ADB to use the other ways to root.
I cant seem to figure out how to get my --G2-- to link up with my computer.
I tried all the links for the "HTC sync" for it but they are for the UK desire z and do not work.
If i search HTC's website there are no drivers or htc sync for the G2
This is why i used visionary to root my old one. The sdk is always buggy for me ive tried it on a few different computers and never had luck.
The only time it worked was with the cliq like 4 years ago.
------------------------------------------------------------------
-Does anybody have a way to do it?
____________________________________________________
i tried about 5 different write ups from the how-to section.
Even the installing for noobs with the auto install package.
any help would be nice. I have to fight my phone for everything with this spyware stock rom on my phone.
Did you try the wiki?
yes i did.
I found a link for a driver that worked.
Someone should add it to the wiki.

fairly smooth once i figured that out. Usually i cant even get sdk to install on my computers.
Just my really old computer (which has been taken out and shot since) that i used with the cliq. i think cyanogen was just starting back then.
Hi guys,
I've got a big issue with my Desire HD. currently on ARHD 6.3.1.
It seems, I've got a USB Bricked Device. I tried several roms, but with no one I was able to establish a connection with a pc. The DHD always only charges and is not detected by my pc. I also tried several cables and pcs.
With this, for my opinion hardware defect, I've been at a official HTC Service Store.
They looked at it and told me they cannot do anything as long as I don't have S-ON.
At this point I am searching for a method to get back to S-ON without ADB, because the USB port does not work as well.
I'm gonna get the official RUU to the phone via PD96IMG on the SD-Card. But if I understand the, for my feeling 100 threads I've read, right, the phone stays on S-OFF and i only found guides to get S-ON via ADB.
So, hopefully someone can help me, because a not working USB port is really annoying!
Greets and thanks to all devs for the great work on DHD
Michael
PS: Waht do you think, can we port this Guide to our DHD?

Google gave me this for DHD ,,, I've never used it so you may want to google more for DHD S-ON, and it's all at your own risk I dunno if you'll brick or what.....

@Hydro thanks for that advice.
I'm gonna PM him if I can use it some way for my DHD.
I will post my results.

I would do more googling and no PM,,, those guys are pretty busy, plus I wouldn't ask if he can use the inspire files on the DHD...
Yes I can understand that. That I cannot use the Inspire files for my DHD is clear for me. But perhaps I only have to change zip or something like that.
I am googling for my problem now for about 2 month.
Perhaps I'm too silly, but with no results.
I only found guides that use the ADB via USB.
what region are you in anyways?
I am from Europe / Germany
i re-read your post... first, you've tried USB in different computers I'm assuming? And you've tried different cables? And you've verified you have the right drivers installed and you DO NOT have HTC software installed. Are you running everything elevated? Meaning as administrator if you're using Windows 7? Is your Virus Software uninstalled?
Also have you even tried to flash a stock P98IMG.ZIP from the root of your SD card?
First, thanks for your help and interest.
So, for my opinion I tried everything:
different cables, computers, USB-ports.
Yes, I think I had the right drivers. Tried also everything I found in the web.
It definitly seems the USB port is bricked on hardware.
The guy of the HTC service store also told me they often have devices with hardware defects on USB parts.
Flashing via PD98IMG I have not done yet, because everywhere it is said the phone stays on S-OFF after flashing it. And this is sadly not enough for them to repair it on warranty. They only may repair it with S-ON.
Of course, they also repair if I pay for it.
so if your phone is bricked i would try to get it working first,, before worrying about USB stuff. then you can troubleshoot the USB stuff later... just my opinion. Keep searching for s-on zip ,, it's out there if you dig hard enough,, I did a couple searches and didn't see it without the tool.

Don't think he means his phone is actually bricked. He's using the term incorrectly. Just that his USB doesn't work
What about wireless adb? That could work. I don't know and am skeptical myself, but give it a try.

You could always try ADB over wifi widget from the market, don't know how useful it is as I've never tried it.

Yes, you're right. My phone is not completely bricked, just the USB doesn't work.
I have read "USB bricked" that often, that i tought it is right. sorry for that confusion.
Thanks for your hints at the wifi adb version.
Is there someone with experience in that?
I will give it a try...
I assume it will work as I've got the ADB over wifi feature built into the rom I'm using, so there should be some truth to it. I'm running redemption ics alpha

For my understanding, as not beeing a dev.
I installed adbwireless from market, activated it and established a connection to the phone via cmd. (connected to 192.168.100.24:5555)
Is it now possible to give this open connection to a tool like "Advanced Ace Hack Kit" or "Easy Radio tool"?
Sorry for that noob question.
That's the thing tough not sure if you can connect to them. You might have to run the commands manually. You should stop by the hack kit irc channel and ask attn1 if its possible
So this may be a dumb question but can you mount USB in recovery partition? I've seen the error where people can't mount their USB drives. Fix is to reformat the micro usb.
Alright so I currently don't have a PC.
And iv already messed around with trying to root with non legit apps
Now I know there's a way to to adb side load over wifi
Using another device using the terminal. I just can't find a legit guide to get me threw the process of being able to connect the 2 devices threw the emulator terminal.
I haven't rooted since back when untouched 3g was out. And then I was a proud owner of the oneplus one so there was no need to root.
I'm looking to root unlock bootloader get custom recovery the whole deal. Just need the correct way to connect to adb without PC
I promise, I tried to do it myself by looking at some guides on here, but all the links are broken, there are mod addendums and warnings on some of the threads, and htcdev won't even let me log in! I reset my password and immediately entered the one they sent to me and it said incorrect login! Also powershell isn't working with adb services(term 'adb' is not recognized) and the HTC sync software is no longer available for download... not sure what to do!
I currently have a Pixel 3, but my last two phones were HTC phones. The M8(t-mobile) and the 10(sprint/unlocked). I used guides on this forum to root them both. However, I ended up giving the M8 to my sister when I got the 10. I relocked the bootloader so it could be stock again.
The status is "relocked." I want to use the old phones to tether wifi to two old computers that have no wifi connectivity. My HTC 10 does it perfectly, but it is an unlocked model and is still rooted. Back when I got the M8, carriers were very stingy about that kind of stuff, so it is not possible by default. I have seen a few ways to allow the phone to tether from wifi to usb, but they require root.
And now I am here... a couple hours trying to do something that I did once years ago pretty easily, but with a bunch of broken links and services.
Any help is greatly appreciated, I really don't want to pay and then wait for a wifi adapter.
Thanks
