The bootloader screen says S-OFF.

Go to this link and flash the custom PC10IMG by hot_hands in post #33 read the entire thread though, also do not flash a stock PC10IMG what ever you do, or you will be bricked for good. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912399

THANX for the quick reply,but how do i flash without a recovery like clockwork...?

I dont see a link?

Place the CUSTOM PC10IMG on the root of your sd card then power off or pull the battery then hold volume down + power on and it will find the file and flash it automaticlly. File must be named PC10IMG.zip

Currently downloading the zip...just reading the thread while waiting...Hope it works, Thank you for coming to a noods rescue

I was on my phone when I replied so i couldn't see your carrier info, this file was made for the Tmobile G2, I am not sure if it will work for the Desire Z. Did you see my note in my first reply.
For the Desire Z I believe they have the RUU's for whatever version you had running on your phone

It still worked...THANX A MILLION{",}

It'll work, but it will also flash the G2-specific engineering HBOOT as opposed to the Desire Z one. Not sure there will be any adverse effects, but in case you weren't aware, the Desire Z does have slightly different partitioning than the G2.

Hi everyone... i was using strawmetal's downgrade pdf guide and successfully managed to downgrade my htc desire z to froyo(earlier it was gingerbread)
it also shows hows to permanently root the htc desire z.. i followed the guide to the point and after checking the md5-3 matches md5-2.... i typed in # reboot
now instead of enjoying my freshly rooted htc desire z ... am stuck at the welcome screen...the white with the green htc...
i ve seen the forum n yes there are xplainations of how to go about saving ur phone...
my query is a lil different ...
see , we did everything correctly ..so am sure we shud be able to start the phone with out losing the permanent root and all the other hardwork... i also installed the recovery clockwork ....
somebody show me the way .....

try flashing rom of choice from recovery

First off, Visionary is known to fail frequently which is why it is not recommended to use.
That aside, try flashing a new recovery via fastboot as some versions of CWM are known to hang on the HTC screen.

[Q] Need help

First of all i wan't to apologise because there's probably a thread about this somewhere, but ill be honest i searched and googled a lot and only got more confused. I am really lost in the terminology and everything that is availbale on this forum so i'm just going to ask here and hope for a simple answer.
I have an unbranded unlocked HTC Desire, which i rooted to the Nexus One 2.2 froyo. Now i want to go back to stock 2.1 htc sense so i can update it to 2.2. I can't use the stock roms because htc sync doesn't recognize my phone. so im kinda lost and don't know what to do.
Is it possible to do it? and if it is possible, then can some one please explain in a simple step-by-step form how to do it.
Thank you in advance!
Im pretty sure you can just extract the rom.zip from an ruu and flash it from recovery

Hello,
first of all, before doing something wrong
screen AMOLED or SLCD?
HBoot ? to check the Hboot vol.down+power
U can downgrade to 2.1 (HBoot 0.80) using a SAPPIMG there´s a thread in the forum explaining how to do it, but first check your screen type first...
If it´s AMOLED like mine i can post the RUU i used to unroot the phone and get the Froyo2.2
it's AMOLED
hboot version 0.80.0000
Ok so was mine, so i runned this RUU:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...3.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
then did the OTA update
i have froyo 2.2 already on it.
will this take me back to the 2.1 htc sense?
just tried it, getting an error that the phone is not connected to the usb. and it obviously is

Why is it precisely that you wish to revert back to HTC 2.1 then to HTC 2.2 again?
You can currently flash HTC 2.2 ROMs directly, which have HTC sync working. They are different to the Google/AOSP FroYo ROMs on many accounts, most paramount with the addition of HTC Sense.

Thank you everyone for your help and use full comments. I ended up using the guide from the desire development forum, its under "[TUT]Complete upgrading guide(root, unroot, flashing ROM & updates)" sorry i cant post links yet. . It is very easy and noobie friendly.
I downgraded to the stock htc desire 2.1 and updated with the official 2.2.
Now i have 2 issues with it:
car mode enables itself every 10 mins or so even if i switch it off.
and some websites reload themselves in 10 or so seconds after loading them.
any ideas?
Thanks

[Q] HTC BEE No root?

Spent almost 6 hours yesterday trying to figure out how to root the htc wilfire (Bee), but was unable to because alltel out dumbed me by branding their phone. Any known workarounds?
Super one click 1.5.5 seems to give a root. I havent been able to get a recovery flashed yet though.

Bee = Buzz / Wildfire for Verizon
http://news.softpedia.com/news/HTC-Bee-En-Route-to-Verizon-Leaked-ROM-Emerges-160263.shtml
I have the HTC Bee(Wildfire) for Bluegrass Cellular. When trying unrevoked it says device "bee" not supported. I did use super one click and got it to root and install superuser. I mainly want root for wifi tether which seems to work, but I would like to install custom roms like I do on my Evo (Evo is personal phone, Wildfire is work phone). The Clockwork mod says it flashed, but when rebooting into recovery its the standard useless recovery. I also tried to install a VPN app requiring root and it says Busybox missing, root access denied even though when it prompted for superuser access I hit allow. So I think Super One Click is semi rooting the devices but not completely. I tried to unroot and it hangs on Removing Superuser.apk. I want to start fresh with it and do the Shell Root instead of the other root via S.O.C. Anyone else had any luck with the "Bee" Wildfires?
From here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 said:
Some devices have a NAND lock. SuperOneClick will only give a Shell root until you remove this lock.
The following phones can use http://unrevoked.com to remove this lock:
* Sprint EVO 4G (HTC Supersonic)
* Droid Incredible (HTC Incredible)
* HTC Desire GSM
* HTC Desire CDMA (HTC BravoC)
* HTC Aria
* Droid Eris (HTC DesireC)
* HTC Wildfire (HTC Buzz)

It appears as though this NAND lock also applies to the Alltel HTC Wildfire (HTC Bee) . Unfortunately, unrevoked does not yet run on the Bee.
Get me a rom update utility. I can get us a permanant root. I'm just slightly scared of not being able to boot my phone, and would like a way to reverse it. Current version is 1.07.671.2.
Thanks!
I was able to root my htc wildfire "bee" phone from alltel using the z4 root by ryanza. Seems to be the only rooting that works. Ive been unable to find any custom roms for it though, or if theres any roms that work for it at all.

I unable to root my "BEE" with unrevoked. How did you do it? Any RUU available for the Bee? Thank you so much!
you could try to see if htcdev supports the bee, if it does then you would be able to permroot, recovery, roms the lot

I'm not really sure he could get a recovery and ROMs, since you can't use buzz stuff on the bee.

How to downgrade to 1.32
HTC - Quietly S-OFF. Again.​
About:
The problems started when HTC released their 1.72.405.3 OTA update. That update could not be rooted, and many people got stuck in stock roms. Now a downgrade method has arrived! After this process, you can use any root (+ S-OFF) method you want. Basically your device will be just like any other Desire HD with older build version.
System requirements:
HTC Sync (or ADB drivers)
Desire HD with build number 1.72 or higher
How to downgrade:
IF you have a branded device, you have to make a Goldcard. Use "mmc2" instead of "mmc1"!!
Download the attached file and extract it
Get stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip ROM
Connect Desire HD to a computer. Charge only, USB Debugging enabled!
Open up a cmd and go to Downgrade folder, execute:
If you got "#" in the result, you have temproot! Proceed:
Put PD98IMG.zip to your SD card. You can close the cmd and set connection to disk drive.
Reboot while holding volume down, it will go to the bootloader
Follow the instructions
Done. You can now proceed with old S-OFF methods, and remove the PD98IMG.zip from your SD. I recommend Radio S-OFF for new users.

Works the same way to just put stock Rom on and failing that just run the 1.32.405.6 ruu on your pc it should do it for you as the I did it when I started from scratch

thank you man for the suggestion you gave me ... but i really want first to get the stock rom or even learn how to flash with my dhd . best regards and god bless

[Q] HTC Desire Z to T-Mobile G2

Hi everybody, I'm very sad and desperate. I used a tutorial on CyanogenMod wiki to root my HTC Desire Z and flash CyanogenMod custom ROM into it. I just wont to try it. After few days, I decide to unroot my phone, but I was so silly, that I used tutorial I found via Google to do it but, the tutorial is was only for T-Mobile G2, now I have HTC Desire Z, with S-OFF and T-Mobile ROM and I'm unable to flash stock ROM. So, pls can anyone help me? Thanks a lot!
Why did you want to unroot?

I want to flash back stock ROM, so I think it's "necessary"... I'm so dumb. Now I flash back CyanogenMod, but don't know, how to flash back stock ROM...
You didnt do a nandroid backup of your stock rom? Could just flash that over then unroot from there.

I don't have any backup... Now when I power up my phone, it came with white screen with HTC logo on it
I unrooted a DZ today using the guide in the G2/DZ wiki
If you need any help hop over to #G2ROOT IRC
Already saw it, but correct me if I'm wrong, this tutorial is only for T-Mobile G2, because of this - PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1 - but I have O2 Desire Z

Have you got to go back to stock for warranty purposes or did you no like any of the roms you tried?

I perform root only because HTC promise Gingerbread update till end of Jun, but nothing happend, so I did it. But am not satisfied with CyanogenMod ROM, it's drain my battery, and also I have troubles with Gmail notification.
OK, I'm going to try IRC.
GB update has just started to roll out.
If your not comfortable following the instructions in the wiki. #g2root is the best place, the guys there a very helpful and knowledgeable.
Sent from a phone that is not a HTC Desire Z
Am stupid, sorry for that! Didn't read the whole wiki entry... now I know what with part7backup... But I have one more question... Should I correct this command - /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.19.531.1 - to /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.34.405.5 - because as I realize, zip you linked me contain 1.34.405.5 ROM version.
Depending on your software version you may not need to use that command. Go in to settings>about phone>software info. And check your software version.
Sent from a phone that is not a HTC Desire Z
I have CyanogenMod 7.1 RC, but in location you pointed me, there is no SW info...
Umm, ok. If you put the PC10IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard and boot into bootloader. Depending on your software version it will either accept the PC10IMG.zip or give you message about your software version being higher than the other update you are trying to apply.
If it accepts the PC10IMG.zip let it flash then continue to follow the instructions in the wiki.
I would like to put a quick disclaimer here. I'm no expert on the ins and outs of rooting. So follow my advice at your own risk.

What to do next?

Hey guys, I just rooted my T-Mobile G2 using strawmetal's awesome guide. Now, I want to install Android Revolution HD , but in the OP it says I need a Desire Z hboot. I tried installing it anyways, thinking I already had it, that it'd come with the "root package", but I got stuck on the White HTC screen. I guess I do need to flash that Desire Z hboot, can someone help me with this step?
