Desire Z - Stock with 2.2.1. How to Root? - G2 and Desire Z General

Hello everybody,
I just got my new HTC Desire Z. It came with Android 2.2.1 and Firmware Version 1.82. I want to root it and apply Custom Recovery and then Custom ROM. My question is: Should I downgrade to Firmware Version 1.35 and then Root using this method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261 . Won't I brick my phone?
Thank you in advance.

is your phone branded? if so you need to make a goldcard to downgrade. if your phone isnt branded you still need to downgrade to 1.34. look for the guide on the xda wiki under htc vision

[Q] Can I downgrade my trophy?

Hi all,
Ive got a htc trophy running official Mango (7720).
But i'd really like to sideloade xapps etc.
So can I downgrade the mango back to nodo or something else so I can put a custom mango rom on it??
Can someone guide me how I downgrade my trophy??
Thanks!
EDIT: can I just flash this RUU safely without getting it bricked?

(HowTo) Root YOUR (ARC S) (LT18i) Without unlocking bootloader

1. Flash this http://www.mediafire.com/?j5on1nw8obzejlw 0.42 generic world
2. Root your Phone with DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su
3. Update over the air to 0.62
i´v just tried this and it works perfectly!
UPDATE
This rom is Generic Global Rom for LT15i, i dont know if that works similar to LT18, because i cant test it.
www.mediafire.com/?8ebba1p37e74b1v
check this out if you have LT15i.
thanks , I did it. downgrade to 42 and rooted.
Does the funktion "Don't wipe userdata" work at flashtools? (or loose i all my settings?)
Sent from my LT18i using XDA App
i whiped all my things befor i flashed Generic global! you can download any free recovery app and save anything after flashing and rooting and updating only download again an recover that all back
ok, thank you. i will make before a "Restore"-Point with the CWA-Installer. Then i flash the .42 from your link without "wipe data" and i will see, how it works
If it´s wok, everything is fine, if it doesn´t work, i flash a second time an "wipe data".
I will report....
Hopefully it will work properly coz I tried everything to fix the issue

does it work for you ?
yes of course. I have all datas (i don´t "wipe data") Now i´ve a rooted .62 with all my datas. Only my own Background was after the update not on my homescreen, but thats no problem.
Bevore I delete now the bloatware, i make a "restore"-point with CWA. So, if in the future a new update come (OTA), i can install the "untouched" .62 and OTA should work without flashing with flashtool.
may i ask something. link at the number 1. is't the original fw for LT18i?
yes this is original firmware firmware
first is LT18i
second is LT15i

Sorry for my ignorance bro, but what do you mean by you can't update because I will lose my device's root config? Are you referring to updating from 4.0.2.A.0.42 to 4.0.2.A.0.62 after rooting? But the instruction from the first post said that after rooting update to 0.62. Thanks.
Hi
I have just switched from HTC HD2 to Xperia Arc S.
I know all there is to know about flashing the HD2 (WinMo and Android), but next to nothing (yet) about Xperia. I gather that .62 can't be rooted yet, so you'll have to downgrade, root and then upgrade back to .62 OTA. Does that mean that it will also be possible to upgrade to ICS (when that's ready) from a rooted .62_)?

You don't need the RUU to flash the bootloader. To unlock the bootloader you just need to update the hboot and if you are able or not with your current rom it depends on the Main Version you are running.
Regardless the above, you can try using the AAHK2 to gain S-OFF, Root, SuperCID and Sim unlock.

Thanks i will try that, i was guided by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2286438
i need to put the recovery anyway by follow the theat or this method that you give me do that?

Partition layout has been changed in Lollipop and you can't simply go back to KK.
Rooting L is not an issue, just wait for a working recovery.

Welcome to XDA!!
To install custom ROM, you will need to have a S-OFFed device to do so. S-OFFing need hardware tools, and it cost money. XTC2Clip and FireWater are the two known S-OFF tools that work on D820 for now.

If so, why dont you ask that guy from The Mainland forum, he should be the most well known of his own ROM.
Afaik, without S-OFF you can hardly do any modification to the system.

OTA (Over The Air) and flashing ROM are of totally two different thing, OTA came from HTC herself while ROM are created by people like us. So now which one is you proceed to do, OTA or flashing ROM?

Yes, you can search the web with your phone's CID and download the corresponding fw, after that rename the zip according to your phone MID, and place it onto your external SD Card, then boot into bootloader. The fw should be automatically flashed then.

Want to know if it is suitable or not? Use your CID to identify!
A TWRP backup can fix almost everything but not all.
