Hey guys, i rooted my Desire Z with these Tutorials out there and i recognized not everything is that clear and easy to understand if you are a noob like me with this stuff. First i want to say that im from austria and so please ignore when my english is not that good.
Now just start here. When you are done with that all you can have any rom running on youre phone, but i recommend the ones designed for the desire z.
>>> Click here to read the full tutorial on my website with fast download links. ;D
!!! BEFORE YOU START YOU MUST CREATE A BACKUP OF ALL YOR DATA YOU HAVE ON YOUR PHONE !!!
Don't worry, youre friut ninja scores are still on feint.
1. First you will have to install ADB. If you have it skip that part.
Just head over here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Download the .zip archive and extract "android-sdk-windows" to C:\
Now run SDK Manager.exe and let it install everything. This could take looooong hours...
2. Now you have to check the infocid of your Desire Z. Make sure the developement mode is turned on (USB-Debugging).
Open up a cmd window on your PC (Windows Key + R and type "cmd") and type:
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem boot
If your INFOCID doesnt match the following you'll need a goldcard to continue (Get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832503 ).
Code:
HTC__001
HTC__032
HTC__E11
HTC__203
HTC__Y13
HTC__102
HTC__405
HTC__304
HTC__A07
HTC__N34
HTC__J15
3. So now you have to download 3 Files:
>>> http://wede.devftw.com/downloads/psneuter
>>> http://www.multiupload.com/A9PNGVBWBE
>>> http://www.multiupload.com/9L618DJVR6
Broken link? Click here: W3D3 @ devFTW
IMPORTANT! When you save psneuter remove the txt file extention, it should hav none!
4. Extract the file misc_version from misc_version_01.zip (just downloaded in step 3). Just ignore the rest. Put that file to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools.
5. Get the PC10IMG.zip from here: http://www.multiupload.com/GH26HXLLES
6. Now you open the cmd again and type following commands: (type cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools first if youve closed the window)
Code:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
7. Congrats if you now see a #! You now have root access.
If you see a $ something went wrong here. Just go back to step 1 and check youve done everything right.
8. Beside the # type:
Code:
/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.33.405.5
exit
9. Now copy the 1.34.405.5_PC10IMG.zip to youre phone's SD card (Download in step 5) and rename it PC10IMG.zip
10. Now boot youre phone's bootloader with following commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Or you can just switch youre phone off. Switch it on again while you press the power button and the trackpad together.
You now see the bootloader screen with the 3 android skaters on the bottom.
11. Select BOOTLOADER.
Wait a few seconds.
Then the Bootloader will load our PC10IMG.zip
When asked for update press VOL UP to confirm.
Now wait and restart your phone when prompted.
12. When you check your version at your phone now it should say "1.34". Youre desire z is now downgroaded.
13. Enable USB-Debugging again.
14. Extract the contents in root.zip to the platform-tools folder.
15. Now type that in cmd:
Code:
adb install AndroidTerm.apk
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
adb push gfree /data/local/tmp/
adb push rage /data/local/tmp
adb push root /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*
adb push su /sdcard/
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/
16. Start the new app "Terminal Emulator" on your phone and type:
Code:
/data/local/tmp/rage
After a while you'll see the message: "Forked [number] childs"
Press MENU > reset terminal
The terminal will close.
Start it again. It will force close.
Start it again. You should see the # sign again.
Beside it write following:
Code:
/data/local/tmp/gfree -f
After that type:
Code:
/data/local/tmp/root
sync
This will root your phone. When you get that message "mkdir: /system/xbin already exists", don't worry everything is ok.
After that restart your phone.
17. Install ROM Manager from market. Install The ClockworkMod Recovery.
After that you should go to "restart to recovery-system"(or similar) and from there you chose Backup/Restore and create a backup from your current rom.
(Note that you chose with the trackpad in Clockwork and not with the power button like in the bootloader)
When that's done you can come back to that status everytime you want.
(How to Restore when something isnt working:
- Start the device with trackpad holded.
- Chose Fastboot in Bootmanager. (if he asks for update again you forgot to remove the PC10IMG.zip from your SD)
- Chose Recovery
- ClockworkMod Recovery will show up
- Go to Backup/Restore and chose your Backup to restore
- Done. )
18. In RomManager chose Download ROM or install from SD card when you've found a ROM you like.
19. When it's done loading and there is a small window with 3 points make sure the 3rd AND the 2nd is chosen! if you forget to chose the 2nd point youre phone will make bootloops!
ENJOY your rooted DESIRE Z!
(Credits go to g4rb4g3 for the great solution of downgroading)
Please hit Thanks if you liked the Tut.
i recommend visionary/gfree no adb but to each his own
pimped out g2
The visionary-gfree no-adb method is awesome.. used it myself. But doesn't really apply to the Desire-Z, which is what the OP has.

Hi!
It's similar to the wiki method but uses older versions of the tools and some tools and procedures are redundant (i.e. using psneuter for temp-root to downgrade but rage for temp-root during the gfree procedure).
If you know how to use adb, follow the wiki, if not follow the visionary temp-root plus gfree guide that is somewhere around here.
Have fun - Guhl

Hi,
I got a question before I jump off the bridge and root/flash/stress.
My phone is still on the branded bellmobility firmware, but it is unlocked. Since I only want to get rid of bell stuff and install an official HTC WWE ROM, do I have to follow your guide and root the phone to flash it ? Or can I follow only the flash part and flash an official ROM without rooting ?
Thx
I was able to root my girlfriend's G2 that was still on 2.2 by using this method:
http://archive.rootzwiki.com/index.php/Smartphones/HTC-Corporation/HTC-Desire-Z/G2.html
My coworker recently got a replacement G2 and it shipped back to her with 2.3 on it. We're just wondering if we're able to use the same perm root process that we used for my girlfriend's G2 (2.2)
If u dont want to permroot but u want roms I suggest u at least temp root using visionary, z4root, or one of the othrr one click methodz. If u browse the forums people have gottin into trouble not bein rooted. Then if u dont like it u can reboot and itll go back

You can also use temproot which means that you can use all the root functions (flashing included) till you reboot.
I thought of that method before but when you wanna play around with the different roms to find out which is the best permroot would be great. (Look @ the guide)
I dont know much about temproot so just head over to another thread in xda to find out more about that method.
Its your choise.

Hi!
No, the 2.3.3 version that T-Mobile/HTC are shipping as replacement (by accident) are not rootable at all (at the moment).
There is currently no published temp-root method for this release and therefor it can also not be S-OFFed or perm-rooted.

hi guys,3 days ago,my DHD upgraded the official RUU,the sw version was been 2.37.i tried myself to find the way to downgrade.But i was faild.
Today,i was try again,and my phone was downgrade to 1.32,that's great!
if your DHD is 2.37 now,maybe the artical can help you.
1.
make your SDcard to goldcard
2.
RUU this RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_SoftBank_JP_2.37.762.2_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_186075_signed.exe

adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp

if there is a "#" on your screen,type the follow
/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.31.405.3
this time,your phone has been downgrade.
4.
RUU the 1.32,the it finished,there's a big surprised to you.
welcome to China,good luck!
I doubt it, but there is a slight remote chance that it might work.
It is all about the SoftBank ROM, whether it has patched GingerBreak hole or not.
edit: It seems that the guys working at SoftBank are dev friendly, and they indeed left the GingerBreak exploit non-patched
ruu the softbank rom,you can root your DHD,RUU 1.32.

You connect your DHD to your computer via USB (Must have HTC Sync for drivers) then just run the RUU
I keep getting Error 131...have created my goldcard and recreated it again incase it had gone wrong
Gna give it another try
Do you have to use the same sd card that you use in ur phone or can be different ones?

Hi All !
I tested it and it worked, so here are the things you need:
Download the downgrade.zip
An SD card with the 1.32 PD89IMG.zip
Connect your phone in Charge Only mode with USB Debugging enabled.
Run these commands with enter after every line:
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start F0000000 -end FFFFFFFF
If you success you will see this message:
Potential exploit area found at address (maybe fbb6b600:1a00 or something else).
Exploiting device...
Then run the following:
adb shell (you will have to get the "#"
/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.31.405.3
adb reboot bootloader
Run the ROM setup and you will done
This method is the same as CubZ
im all over both threads, please post offsets at which the exploit was found on your device.
so as we can narrow down the searches to make a quick one click method.

Also, just perm rooted using Visionary+. Just tested it with adb shell and got the magical #.

It found an exploit area at fbb7f800:1800 on my Telus-branded Desire HD.
EDIT: I've tried the process about 4 or 5 times, and everything goes fine until it boots into the bootloader. Whenever it gets to that stage, nothing appears to get flashed and my phone goes right back to the way it was. Any particular reason for that?

I had the exact same luck with that. I've used this exact same SD card with my old HTC Hero, so it's not the card. Could it just be something as simple as me having a corrupted download of PD98IMG.zip? I'll check the MD5 and report back.
This works for 2.50xxx. Just did it. If it fails 1st time, unplug and try again.

Rooting the Mytouch 4g
I keep reading in different forum posts that there is a way to force an older version on android on the mytouch 4g so it can be rooted. I don't know how to install an older version. I went to one site that gave instructions, and I couldn't even get past the first step without receiving an error.

Please help. I broke my other phone so was forced to get a new one, and with this new one I can't get cyanogenmod on it because it's Android 2.3.4. The only way to root the phone is to put older software on it, supposedly (at least that's what I understood from reading several sites). I miss cyanogenmod. :-(

Yeah that's the only way to downgrade. That worked for my buddy last night. Hopefully you know how to use ADB.
This is how far I got...
So I followed all of the steps for installing cyanogenmod on my Mytouch 4g aka Glacier (which has Android 2.3.4 on it).
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_myTouch_4G:_Full_Update_Guide
Step 6.
b shell
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*
/data/local/tmp/psneuter
NOTE: You will drop out of the shell after this command. Restart the shell using:
When I got to this step, I got an error message on command prompt: "Failed to set prot mask (Inappropriate ioctl for device).”
I was like, “WTF!!”
I did some research and came across sites that had people post about the issue. They tried offering different methods.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/24670-unlock-bootloader-or-not/
Here someone said, “This is incorrect. While it isn't possible to root stock 2.3.4 yet, you can still root your device using the passimg method, which is basically forcing an older version of Android onto the phone. A version which does allow rooting. Then you can keep your bootloader locked and still have custom firmware.”
I don’t know how to do this though.
There is a link on this site, stating to use NEXUS ONE method to unlock my phone.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide
I tried this, and the command prompt says “waiting for phone” and nothing happens. I read on another site that I have to get the correct USB drivers for my phone, but I don’t quite understand what they are referring to.
I have tried this method (see link just below this mini-paragraph), and I can’t even get passed the first step. I get an error message like “Access denied/don’t have permissions.”
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
I tried this way, too. I got a weird error and couldn’t do anything:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/299078-how-to-unlock-the-bootloader-on-your-nexus-one/
This one also gave me a weird error message: http://android.modaco.com/topic/299078-how-to-unlock-the-bootloader-on-your-nexus-one/
I also found a video online of some guy unlocking his phone with Visionary. I tried that, my phone’s screen went black, and then Visionary failed to work once I restarted my phone to get rid of the black screen. I even uninstalled and reinstalled it, and the program still wouldn’t work right. I wiped my phone, started over with Visionary, and it gave me a black screen again. Nothing happened. I waited for 30 minutes, and I couldn’t get out of the black screen. I reset my phone, and continued down the same vicious cycle of total lameness.
These directions seemed splotchy, so I wasn’t sure when I got an error message using this method if it was due to my own inexperience, or if there was something wrong b/c of the phone or whatever: http://android.modaco.com/topic/299078-how-to-unlock-the-bootloader-on-your-nexus-one/
This method seems promising, but I can’t even attempt it because I am having issues unlocking the bootloader: http://chensun.net/android-development/root-nexus-one-with-android-2-3-3-gingerbread/8/
I started to read this, but I didn’t finish because by this point I was very frustrated and overwhelmed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=643359

89 bootloader
Supposedly all of these methods are for the 86 and 88 bootloaders (although a lot of my sources do not specify)... I have 89 on my phone. I tried a google search for a method to root or unlock a phone with 89 bootloader, and there is nothing. Let me know what you think.
This guide is for downgrading from Gingerbread to a rootable Froyo buid:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
Note that it's a mixed guide that also includes the G2/Desire Z, so make sure you follow the parts meant for the MT4G. It uses Fre3vo to temp-root. Gfree doesn't work on GB ROMs so you have to fool the phone into allowing a downgrade.
Once the downgrade is complete you can go back to the instructions from the CyanogenMod Wiki. Once you have S-OFF you can flash whatever you want.
got mine to work
for mytouch 4g you should follow this first to get adb running on the computer right

phone should reboot follow last instructions and your back on 2.2.1
I went through the same thing, I just kept punching in commands because it would appear to gain temp root using visionary, but never update the recovery. After repeating the process and commands several times in a row to kind of force it and make sure, it works. I know these phones have a hard time communicating via usb cable so maybe thats it... but just repeat your commands and make sure that you aren't getting errors and that everything is actually gaining root not just appearing to gain root.
As far as visionary goes, I never got it to do perm root, I just installed recovery and bootloader using the wiki setup guide.
89 boot
I too have HBOOT-0.89.0005. Did you (or anyone else) find a solution, or does it even matter? Would be great if I could afford to brick the phone, but as it's my only phone, no can do.

Supposedly all of these methods are for the 86 and 88 bootloaders (although a lot of my sources do not specify)... I have 89 on my phone. I tried a google search for a method to root or unlock a phone with 89 bootloader, and there is nothing. Let me know what you think.

I'm in this same boat and completely stuck.
I've got 89.0005 and stock 2.3.4
I can get temp root just fine and push all the needed files to the phone and can run the chmod commands. I can push the PD15IMg.zip file to the SD card.
I can reboot into bootloader and and it spins up PD15IMG.zip and starts doing it's thing for about 3-4 minutes...little blue bar on the side loading it, then a little gold bar checking it, all exactly like what happened when I rooted and downgraded the previous MT4G I had.
Then the phone starts up exactly as I left it before. Nothing is changed. I'm still running Android 2.3.4. No settings have been altered. Nothing.
The only thing that's glitchy during the temp root process is that the md5sum command doesn't work when you tell it to return the md5sum on PD15IMG.zip. It gives me the error md5sum: md5sum not found
I have been at this for 8 hours now. My brain is fried. I have searched every webpage I can find and can't find a solution.
The only thing that makes any sense to me (I didn't say it made actual sense...just sense to me! haha!) is that the PD15IMG.zip file is wonky, which is why it won't return an md5sum result. Does that make any sense or am I completely bonkers?
And no, it actually never occurred to me to re download Pd15IMG in the event the file is corrupted. Actually that just occurred to me when I typed up this post. I'll see if that fixes it. In the mean time if there's another tip here I'm missing, by all means give a shout out.

Download Astro File Manager. Long press the zip file, details. Any properly formed zip file should show an MD5 sum in that window. If it doesn't match, re-download or get it from a different source.
Got a different MD5sum when doing your method.
Here's a fun catch. The file size on the computer is 327263801 bytes
The transfer was only 327263743 bytes
So there's 58 bytes missing
This happens every time I do the transfer. Is there a normal reason for that?
I got the file from a different source. I transfered it using the Ubuntu interface rather than the terminal and the file on the phone ends up being the exact same size as the file on the computer.
Edit: Now it appears to be working......I'm in the middle of flashing the PD15IMG file now and it's doing a lot more this time than it did before.
Edit 2: Yup. That worked. I've got 2.2.1 now. That's REALLY weird. Why didn't the adb push command send the entire file? Oh well who cares? It works now. But I'll leave this up here in case someone else hits that snag.
I get up to this command and everything went smooth and then this brick wall any ideas?

You could just do it manually in a file manager

What resource did you use to download the PD15IMG.zip file? I am having the same issues as you.
Is there is newer simplier method than this yet??
I just got my replacement MT4G last week and never really had chance to review the rooting process again.
It's the night before Thanksgiving. Now, I have free 4 day-weekend to check if I can root my MT4G. Then I found out about this 2.3.4 version issue which what my phone is. My previous MT4G was rooted then with 2.2.1.
Is there a better way yet for rooting MT4G with visionary mod? I had a lil' hard time rooting the last time and now, I guess I have to re-learn some of the new tricks of the trade again. >;/

Use this guide to downgrade:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
If you don't already have adb use this easy guide to setup:
http://teamroyal.net/5minadb.html
Tip: If you use this method to install adb, whenever the guide says to place a file in the "platform-tools" directory, place it in the "adb" directory on your hard drive. That should be the only change.
I did this yesterday afternoon. It works.
If you run into issues copy/pasting lines into your command prompt, try dragging the mouse pointer waaay out to the right. The browsers i was using didn't display correctly, but allowed me to copy even the parts that were cut off from my view.
Good luck!

Does anyone have a link to the PD15IMG.zip file? Its dead in the link in the tutorial and I can't find another one. Trying to downgrade my buddies on 2.3.4 with 89.0005. Thanks
Hello XDA Giants of the Modding world I guess I'll start by saying i am a sorta work in progress rather than a noob. i say that for 2 reasons. a) I have converted over here for awhile from (hopefully you call us this) your friends over at modmyobile. i have burned myself out on my good old cliq 2 and have actually surpassed some very well known devs over there on the modding of the mb611. But sadly, that is close to my extent of knowledge; well that and the nook color aka encore and the cliq mb200 a little. and b) when i went into this section (the q & a thread) i got a headache real fast. But i would suppose i belong here to give someone else a headache until i dont have post restrictions. ok, on to my ordeal...
Through here I successfully downgraded and temp rooted howevs my giant devs, i cannot seem to figure out what it is im missing to the last steps. let me try to do specifics here- i followed this - [GUIDE] Downgrade G2 (2.3.X) & DZ (2.3.X) & mT4g (2.3.4) & DHD w/ S-ON to Stock Froyo. i was not able to get the platform tool kit or whatever its called but i found files elsewhere to ride it out andd low and behold i got all the way to Android 2.2.1 and ready to s-off perm root this baby im stuck here-

Im sorta thinkin it was the "downgrading rooting tools" download that i couldnt get to download. i would have just asked on that thread but im not allowed to for a bit. if any of you could help me out i would totally let you hang out with a couple of hot wifies i know... or just say thank you and bless your little heart

Yup, this site is awesome! Thanks Garleest for that quick and accurate response so I've checked out a few roms so far and I'm clear on the annoying question "what's the best rom?" So I guess I'll just twist it a little and ask, are there a few that stand out from all these gazillions of choices here that u or anyone would recommend I try out? I might get these names wrong but I am on the darkside cm 7.2 right now. And I tried out (very shortly) ummm, lets see here... darkhorse was one, packable and aospx or something like that... thanks in advance
