[Q] Help needed rooting the my desire Z

Well i finally decided to root the my desire z.. But i am not able to do it.
I am currently in using 1.82 stock firmware.
Following the wiki to root, while trying to downgrade using the goldcard method, I am unable to copy the goldcard data to the removable disk. The Paste Write option is disabled, coz of which i cant copy the data. Have tried as mentioned in both XP and win 7.. So stuck at step 12 of the goldcard method.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832503
12) Click on the 'Removable Disk' tab. Highlight offset (line) 00000000 to offset (line) 00000170 (including the 00000170 line), then click on the 'Edit' menu and select 'Paste Write'.

you'll need to run HxD as Administrator and then open card with write permissions, then you should be able to paste.

how did the root work for you? I am nervous to do it...need some guidance i guess

If you are honestly nervous about doing it, try using this guide or perhaps this one. Also there is an IRC channel for helping people. Its #G2ROOT i think on some server.. You'll have to search it since I'm sorta busy right now

yeah, i've done a ton of reading but just get so confused with the amount of info, and what works on this doesnt work with this...so much different than flashing my old touch or diamond, even the samsung omnia was easy compared to this. I'll try your guides. thanks.

If you dont understand anything in the guides just PM me. Because I do understand how hard it can be to root for the first time.

Then you probably shouldn't be rooting. This is the developer forum not a question section. That method of rooting is probably the easiest as well.

Install USB drivers...
Get e4gtauto.zip (and unpack it)
Run "RUNFIRST.bat"
Run option A to root device (and follow prompt)
For CWM use option C (and follow prompt)

If that is too complicated for you, stick to a stock rom.

thank you to everyone who replied my thread and to erik077 for finding that other thread and posting it in my thread. cuz it worked. i successfully rooted and put a custom ROM on my device.

Oh FFS! So sorry that it's too complicated for you. Maybe an iPhone would be more appropriate? This is XDA-Developers, not XDA-Please-Hold-My-Hand-Because-I-Can't-Read-And-Figure-Things-Out-For-Myself. You can't even read the stickies that tell you NOT TO POST QUESTIONS IN DEVELOPMENT.
Moving this to Q&A where it should have been in the first place - then closing this.

Welcome to Sony. Reboot your comp and if it still doesn't show up then god knows.

Have you got latest version of flashtool installed?
Not near my pc, but am sure theres the option to browse for the ftf file in flashtool? Just make sure source folder is pointed to the firmware folder your ftf is in and flash.
Sent from my D5503 using xda app-developers app

Restarted alread, yes should be latest version. Heres a screen

ZE551ML Bootloader Keeps Rebooting

As the title says, I installed the ASUS Official Unlock tool (and didn't really read it, as you should) and it attempted a boot unlock without SU. The funny thing is, it did exactly what it said it would do and rebooted into the Bootloader. The Bootloader said (and still does) it was a success and that the phone will reboot in 5 seconds. Which is fine, except it's doing that every single time I enter the Bootloader. I can't get it to stop doing that so I can actually do the root and re-do the unlock. The phone still functions perfectly fine otherwise.. any advice? (Yes, I can get it into recovery mode) Hopefully that didn't ban me from OTA.
EDIT: It also turned my boot screen white, and I also tried to use the sideloader, but I already have the latest ASUS firmware so that didn't help. However, in my loader I noticed some weird stuff showing about a MOD_SDUPDATE.ZIP not being found.. I don't know what's that about. It was doing that before I tried to use the sideloader.

dunno what exactly happened, but you can do " Using Stock.zip from ASUS site:" from here, that should fix basically everything: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-apply-ota-bootloop-rooted-zf2-t3127835
P.S.: your data won't be lost, however your app ache will be cleared, meaning you'll be logged out everywhere. So if you have some game and no account, that game state will be lost.

So I tried that, first with the ROM that's installed on the phone the .97 version. Then with the original version. It appears to actually install the .97 version, but that does absolutely nothing for the phone and if I try an older version it just tells me it can't flash an older version. Should flashing the same version over-top have taken care of the problem? Doesn't look like it did anything. The boot loader is probably unlocked, but I can't keep it in ADB mode long enough to do anything useful and you can't sideload a recovery to my knowledge.
EDIT: I named the file wrong in my tiredness. I did it again and loaded in recovery...
EDIT2: That did not work.

You're in a lot of company... There's a couple of threads about this with ASUS reps also saying the same thing....

I don't actually know what you mean by that? With the ASUS unlocking tool causing it to reboot in the bootloader improperly or the booting of the file from Recovery?
The phone isn't actually "broken" but now... I can't do anything to it without the use of ADB.. Which blows.
EDIT: Also, can you point me to these threads?

The tool is causing this for multiple users. Check the thread above.

Thanks a lot, I figured I could dig some information out of the thread. My search just didn't turn it up. Looks like a lot more people are having this issue than I figured.

Yep. We're hoping @ASUS_Khang gets a solution from HQ next week to get us back on track!

How to get rid of the "Your device is corrupt message"?

This looks like a pretty hard nut to crack. I don't know exactly what caused it. I was rooted for a few days and was just reflashing Magisk (messing about you could say) when it turned up. Previously, I just had the warning with yellow text which is what everyone gets after unlocking the bootloader. So here goes the overview, please bear with me:
===> I reset the phone by flashing OnePlus5TOxygen_43_OTA_006_all_1712062242_69a5125fb2eb4d87.ZIP (OxgengenOS 4.7.4). <===
Exact steps on how I did that:
1) I flashed the stock recovery image via fastboot ( I got it from Oneplus's website)
2) I booted into the stock recovery I flashed in step 1 and flashed the entire ZIP (the one with the long name above). Probably flashed the recovery twice but yeah.
But no dice. It will absolutely not go away. The zip does not contain any other IMG's apart from boot.img and recovery.img so I can't really flash other partitions like system via fastboot. I CAN flash system via my nandroid backup, and I did, but that still did not help.
Here is the error I got. It's from a google search but it resembles the error on the OPO5T very nicely. So can the experts chime in please?

Not used to posting my own answer but maybe this will help someone. You need a full reflash with the Qualcomm tools. OPO support can do this, or anyone with the flashing tool, the correct firmware image, and drivers (the latter being easy to find).
There are tutorials online to do this, the only thing missing is the correct firmware image.
To summarise the requirements:
1) Qualcomm drivers (easy to find)
2) Qualcomm Flash tool MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe (fairly easy to find)
3) The correct *.ops firmware image (hard to find and you need the password)

Yeah we had been trying to crack the password with no success, hopefully someone will, thank u for the info

I can tell you its lenght if that helps? That should narrow down the amount of combinations. Unless its different per download link they send.

For OnePlus 5T "OxygenOS 4.7.2-171116.zip" it is exactly 10 characters. The driver RAR-password is a lot longer (>20). Don't even try to brutefoce that.

If we already have the opt file someone could just set up a keylogger on their machine and have op support do the remote flash and thus capture the password from them lol

Do you mean you have the first three? If so can you share or PM it? Not sure if you mean that brute forcing has reached only a permutation of 4 characters.

It is Bruteforcing meaning I started with 10 characters
