Semi-Bricked, tried everything. Need help. - G2 and Desire Z General

Hi all, I have searched and followed all the guides I could search here and still not able to recover my semi-bricked G2.
It happens when I was trying to downgrade it and temp-root/root. The semi-brick took place at the first time rebooting after all the procedure.
I was putting a DZ hboot img file onto it as I have planned to get a rom with HTC sense.
Here is how it looks now:

}
It has android 2.2 on it with Kernel version: 2.6.32.17-g9ab3677, [email protected] #1 when I received it.
Please show me some light.
Thank you.

it won't boot because you changed the system partition, your old rom will just booloop
boot into recovery, wipe all, flash rom of choice, reboot
your done!

Thanks for the advice.
I did try to boot into recovery from the above screen but it stays in the white HTC screen forever and does nothing.
Is there some files that I will need to put into my SD card to do this recovery step?

I would get a stock rom or RUU and stick it onto your SDcard. Whatever you try to flash must be call PC10IMG.zip.
Here's all the stock roms for this phone. Not sure if you can rename .exe files to .zip.

Thanks.
So after I have the stock rom file inside the SD card, I choose "Recover" from the above screen to load it up?

it looks like the recovery flash didn't work is all, before going about with the ruu try fastboot, if it let's you...
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
works the same as you did with the adb commands.
get the recovery image in the same folder as fastboot.exe (probably sdk platform-tools) open a cmd there, have phone in fastboot mode and type
fastboot devices
in the cmd window, if you see yours then all is good and flash the recovery (oh and make sure the image is named recovery.img)

Ok, here is what I have now.
Then, on my phone, I pick "recovery" then power-button to choose it.
The screen then changed to the recovery loading screen. Then it reboot itself and go back to the white HTC screen and stuck there again.
Do you know what else I could try?

I have tested all the rom for Tmobile on that page and none of them work. All recovery process end up with the red triangle and exclamation mark on the screen but nothing else.:crying:
Is there anything I can try?

things are looking bad sorry to say but I do still think you have a chance
log on to freenode (there is a link in the xda vision wiki)

Hi it took me w days to find out that you can select the options like
Recovery only with the. Qwery keyboard. Try shift for move the cursor and enter
For select item.
I hope this will help.

I think all of my problem was caused by a faulty micro-SD card. Turns out the micro SD-card I have been using was corrupted.
After I replaced it with a new card, everything is running ok and I am able to do a recovery.
Guess I will have to try everything from the start again.
Thanks for all the advice and helps guys!!!

So the recovery went smoothly after doing so with a new SD card and my G2 is now installed with Android version 2.3.4
-Baseband version: 12.52.60.25U_26.08.04.30_M3
-Kernel version: 2.6.35.10-g96de068
-Build Number: 2.15.531.3 CL82286 release-keys
What will be the correct guide to root+S-off for this system then?

use the xda wiki or the cyanogen one. if you can't find it just google "cyanogen root wiki htc g2" or "xda wiki root vision"

Thanks for the suggestion.
One more question though.
From this page here: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision
I see there are some stock Desire-Z roms from Hong Kong.
Let say if I have the Desire-Z hboot on my G2 and I flash my G2 with one of those HK Desire-Z roms, will I still be able to use T-Mobile 3G radio band on my G2? Or will my flashed G2 will then be only able to use those radio bands for the Asia market only?

well you should be ok, but you will have to pull out the radio and recovery and hboot out of those pc10.imgs
I would suggest to stay away from any stock roms for now, go to the development thread here in the g2 forum and look for the 3rd or 4th sticky, should be a compalation of most of the newer roms for the vision, here you will find them catogorized for ease if you want to try a bunch of sense roms they're all right there
happy flashing!

Oh, I was looking for stock Desire-Z rom because custom roms don't have that HTC-Location app that the stock rom has.
I have been using (and paid) that app for offline driving navigation and like it a lot.
Not sure if any 3rd party custom roms will still have that app.

MoDaC'o's VISONary+ R12

It gives you temp root on the Legend, doubt it will give permaroot, but I'll try that in a bit and report back. (r11 wasn't recognised by my phone as a valid APK).
Just tried it on mine,gives only temporary root.
Yeah it won't permaroot because of the NAND lock, I was just being optimistic
Temproot on reboot is enough for me as I like Sense.
I hope this will work with official Froyo! I don't need root all the time, just for some modification like editing wpa_supplicant.conf. Awesome!!
I just tried it yesterday and permaroot worked just fine for me. I rebooted the phone several times to make sure and superuser is still there and I have root access with my file manager.
But I used VISIONary r13, maybe that made the difference? r11 didn't work on my phone either.

Was that on a Legend or Desire?
I only ask as your sig says you are using a Desire.
I've used r13 (available on page 7) and don't get permaroot.

Nope on my legend, I have both phones. I'm using the desire right now because I'm still looking for a way to flash a custom recovery on the legend now that its rooted.
I used r13 and did a temproot first then used permaroot while still in temproot. Maybe that did the trick? Also my legend is unbranded and unlocked. I can post the HBOOT and Radio versions too if you want.

Jay , i'm just as far as you are at the moment. The question u asked is exactly the same question you asked at paul's thread. I was just refering to what i did after following the post previously to your question on paul's thread.
And the "what do you mean perform clockwork recovery in rom manager" question i mainly flashed clockwork recovery onto the legend.
Lets wait for Falcon to post his vids im really curious if he really got perm.
or just clicked the temp root on boot option etc.
ah right, got ya! I might flash the unbranded ROM (also so when the OEM FroYo is released I get it sooner than the Vodafone bastardised version) and try again... just going to be a PITA installing all my apps and setting my phone up as I like it lol
gah you guys jinxed my phone :[
i don't have market on my Legend so it took a while to get terminal emulator and Rom manager and have them installed. neither of them worked. i guess its back to square one for me.
and yes i was using the stock shipped Rom that came with the phone, software number 1.27.466.5
i'm gonna uninstall VISIONary and Superuser and try again
Any update guys? is the permanent One click root on Legend available by any methods?

(Q) I'm stuck?

Ok so awhile back I downloaded and installed a leaked 2.2 version for the epic and its been ok just tired of it, but now when trying to go to a different rom nothing works, clockwork has always givin me some issues on this phone an on m old one that got replaced for bad proximity sensors.
What am I doing wrong? I tried the rom manager method of getting clockwork's mod to work but nothing, tried re flashing the recovory image and that failed for some read only issue now that I've never seen before and is clockworks mod supposed to stick cause the one time I got it to work so I could install this rom (which sucks) after I was it never worked again? This is just really annoying for me since I never have had issues in the past with rom installed htc was easier the g1 and hero where do damn easy what is with this epic crap not doing what I want it to do?

Have you tried the one click method for root and clockwork? You need to have the samsung drivers installed and you have to get another usb cable. The one that comes with the epic is only good for charging.

Yea I've tried that and sometimes it works andsometimes it fails, last night I was failing saying "read-only file system" and would not finish the img flash.

It is very easy to install ROM's on the Epic... So i'm thinking you're doing something wrong.
Are you sure you have clockwork installed and NOT stock? Back when I first started working with the Epic (Rooting & Flashing) I had problems figuring out what clockwork really was.. Clockwork is GREEN & Stock is BLUE.
Also another thing I did was unrooted and then rooted using the latest One Click Root W/ Clockwork, after that everything seemed to work fine. IF I am correct, the ROM Manager Clockwork does not work for the Epic? Well at least it never worked for mine.

Try going to adb and type this: adb shell. Once the shell pops up enter "su" and then this command: mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
If you get an error, you aren't rooted.
Or alternatively, adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

Lol kk so this should work then ill try when I get home.
Is clockwork suppsed to stick though? So that ny time I boot into recovery it should be there, that's wat I thought should happen with changing the recovery image but it never stuck and won't load.
If that command doesn't change anything ill take a video and show what happpens when trying to chage the rom's, I can't be the only person having the problem.....

tried that command say's premissions denied?? I have super users permissions and have a custom rom wtf is going on here? this just does not make sense to me any more at all, tried to run the root file again on the phone and that failed saying its a read only file system?
also tried to run a "unroot.batch" file and same issue says that its a read only file system??

Does the su command work? If not then agan, you aren't rooted. You will know because the $ sign will change to #. Try running the one click root method again, specifically the 2.5 version that contains root and cwm. I don't understand how you can't be rooted though with a custom ROM. Somehow something isn't working, maybe the mount script is corrupt but who knows. I suggest odin back to stock DK28 and root and cwm from there with the newest one-click. Let me know if that helps, also feel free to pm me if you need specifics

Hi the ROM has nothing to do about it maybe i think could be a problem with the clockwork mode version but everybody should have it updated.
There is a file with .Md5 extension that is in charge of the only 1 validation of the original file(.img files), if any of these files has been corrupted then the validation will fail.
MD5 data is created by a algorithm that examines the original file and creates a short(-ish) checksum data string out of the original file's characteristics​
And the validation of what im saying is that we can go back to past ROMS with any problem

I take no credit for doing anything except compiling the source. Please thank the Atrix Development Team for this https://github.com/Atrix-Dev-Team.

Be sure to use Tenfars recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541 to flash this, as well as wiping /data, /cache and the dalvik cache or you may boot-loop!http://bit.ly/mWMjqy

Make sure you do a couple of things, use TENFARS CWM recoveryhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541, do a factory reset and wipe the dalvik cache.
I am now uploading a how-to install video. Give it 30 m or so...

Maybe it's just the bug in rom managers recovery that doesn't wipe correctly, what about if you do the fastboot command to wipe?

I dunno. It might work. But as I said before, I have found that you need to use Tenfar's ClockWork Mod Recovery to flash this. I tried it with the one that comes with ROM Manager, and it didn't work. If you are going to try to wipe with fastboot, also try putting tenfar's CWM on, and then re-flash.
Yeah ill confirm tomorrow after using tenfars

I will go and add that list now.
And the camera app is the default android camera app-the one that you would find on the AOSP ROM's and such.

Is there anyway to get tenfar's CWM as a .zip so I can flash it from ROM Manager?

Go to settings/ wireless & network/ mobile networks/ access point names/
Once there click menu key. Then new APN.
Please let me know if this helps.

Yes you gave him a zip of Tenfars, but I dont think that zip can be flashed using CWM
I don't think there is a zip out there that can do that... Sorry bro.

I've been waiting for this new recovery to come out ever since I got my Kindle Fire(we're a bit limited with only 1 physical button). This was just released a few minutes ago, but it's been in development for a year or so.
I have no affiliation with the team, but I thought others would be interested in trying this out. Luckily, the Atrix was included in the initial wave of supported devices. More pics below.
Video of it in action on a tablet. It really shows the potential for an XML-based recovery. Could mean some very nice ROM installs among other things.
TWRP 2.0 for Motorola Atrix 4G
TWRP 2.0 General Info
Themers, keep your eye on this page. Atrix is not listed, yet.
Install instructions with fastboot:
1. Place twrp-olympus-2.0.0RC0.img in fastboot folder.
2. Open command prompt and cd to directory from step 1
3. Put phone in fastboot mode and connect to computer.
4. fastboot devices
5. fastboot erase recovery
6. fastboot flash recovery twrp-olympus-2.0.0RC0.img
7. fastboot reboot
Note to CM7 users: It doesn't look like the internal storage naming (/emmc) used by CM7 is supported yet, so you will be limited to just using /sdcard.
*Edit*
Looks like there's an official thread over in development now.
This should go in development. But glad to see this recovery on atrix

Sorry, I wasn't sure if I should post it there since I wasn't the one to develop it. Mods, please feel free to move. Thanks.
Just flashed to my CM7 atrix, and tried flashing a .zip (radio update) and seemed to work just fine! Touchscreen recovery, the way it should be!
Just flashed it to mine, and I have to say its quite impressive. Methinks my volume buttons are going to see a lot less wear on them now.
Only issue is that it doesnt look like you can backup/restore your PDS partition, but thats not something you need to mess with often so you could probably just flash another recovery temporarily if needed.

I'm jealous! I can't flash it yet cuz I'm not at home.
The development has been pretty quick on this. I'm sure if it's not in there currently, it will be at some point.
I flashed it but couldn't install anything it gave me errors saying it couldn't read the SD cards and I couldn't see any of my files.

What ROM are you on currently? I'm on CM7 so I'm wondering if sdcard naming might be an issue for non-blur roms. I just wanted to prepare myself for possible issues once I get it flashed.

I'm on cm7 as well. I'm thinking the problem lies in the previous recovery image I had, I was using cwm prior to flashing this. Wonder if I wiped recovery in fastboot prior to flashing the new recovery if that'd fix it.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
I am using CM7 Weekly 3, and i switched from RomRacers recovery. I used the fastboot erase recovery prior to flashing this, and it doesnt seem to have any problems in the limited testing I have done with it. In the log at the bottom of the screen it says error mounting sd-ext but it is able to flash .zip files from it, so...
Will try again tomorrow. I gotta hit the sack. Amazing job tho by the devs on this. Truly revolutionary work. Night all.

Is it at all possible to make it into a flashable zip? I won't be at a PC that can fast boot for some time.

Ok, this is the first CWM zip I've ever tried putting together so please let me know if you have any problems. I took an existing .zip and edited the updater script. I just tried it coming from romracer's CWM, and it worked for me.
If it works for others I will add it to the OP. Happy flashing!
*Edit*
Btw, when using TWRP I tried to reboot into bootloader but it seemed to put me in fastboot mode. Just wanted to put that out there in case others get stuck on "Unlocked" screen.
I can't get this to work so frustrating. I flash with fastboot, it boots into recovery. Its a great touch screen interface. But there are no files populating. I can click the bottom middle button and see a bunch or errors about being able to mount my SD card and such. What step am I missing here.

So when you tap on "Install" it doesn't take you to the root of your external sdcard? For me, that is the only directory I have access to at the moment since I'm on CM7. All of the actions are defaulting to /sdcard.
What boxes are checked for you when you go into "Mount"? I was unable to check sdcard-ext from there, but everything else was selectable.

no it should not
Only boxes checked for mount are cache. I can't mount sd card or anything else. When I click install it takes me to the main / root folder. I can go to whatever folder I want but nothing shows up.
