Sorry for the detection bug for some peoples devices. Hopefully this is now solved. Download 1.8.3 and please post your feedback.

1.8.3 is still not working with German Desire Z

Hello,

just dowloaded Version 1.8.3 and I still get the same error in detecting my german desire Z phone.

Thanks for a solution.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jankrix:
yep we're on the same boat, thanks for the effort dev, however it still produce the same error, any hints?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
AMT updated to 1.8.4 see first page for changes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrskynavi:
Thanks for fixing this issue

Now it works. Sensational, thanks for the quick bug fixing!!!:)

Hey guys,

I have:

Andriod Version: 2.2

Kernal Version: 2.6.32.17

Build number: 1.22.531.8

Do I need to downgrade this phone to use this program? I've been meaning to root my phones since it came out, but was always scared to downgrade it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
Hi, looking at your ROM version, it doesnt look like you need to downgrade. Just put a Tick in the Checkbox for Perm Root and leave all other settings as they are and just press Commit Changes. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ITW2:
Hi

I have an Desire Z and I badly want sense out of my phone.

I have android version 2.3.3

sense version 2.1

kernal 2.6.35.10-g7b95729

radio 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M

How do I get root on my DZ?

My G1 I have root on and it's easy, but how does it work with the DZ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] losing-streak:
This worked FLAWLESSLY! easiest root process I've ever done. thank you!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jaytxvo:
How do I disable fast boot? I went to settings > applications but there no option to disable it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Which Build number?

Don`t know if it works with new Gingerbread ROMs!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jaytxvo:
ahh I am on the edge of rooting my phone finally and this damn disabling fastboot is holding me back!!! I've search everywhere there nothing about where to properly disable it. I can't find it in settings > applications.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
I did reply to your query once. Look in Settings then Power.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ITW2:
build number: 2.42.405.2 CL84109

prog number 2.42.405.2

Hope there is an way for root on my DZ
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jaytxvo:
lol, yes you did reply to my previous question about model, not about fastboot disable. I've searched everywhere on my phone there is no disable fastboot. Did I have to enable it to begin with to have it on or is it an automatic thing?

There no settings > power option and in settings > applications there no fastboot option.

thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
Your phone may not have this option available in settings - if so, you never could have enabled it - therefore, it shouldn't be a problem! You should be able to continue without a problem.

t-mobile g2

Hi everyone!

[off-top]Finally I've made it to Android after being a longtime wm user. And I have to say I should have done it much earlier! such a difference. I have my phone(T-Mobile G2) only for 3days and still learning all tips&tricks, so basically, as you can guess, I'm a beginner=n00b in this field))). [/off]

Need an advise: -using the info from the included pics is it safe for me to proceed?

at first I would do STEP1->STEP2

then additional tools will be used to

- recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-vision.img

- probably new radio?

- and finally CM7 2.3.4 rom

- what is 'Flash boot' button for?

Is my plan correct? The part that keeps me from proceeding is downgrading(it says to 1.34, but I have 1.19 - at least as far as I undestand things now:) )

And since my CID is T-MOB010 do I have to use a goldcard at some point?

Sorry once again for such a noob questions:o

Thanks to all!

added: and will this method remove sim-lock? Even though I'm on t-mob now, but I'm thinking about switching to simple.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jaytxvo:
Thanks alot!

...

I just tried to root it, it says I have a higher version, and requires a downgrade...OP I thought you said I didn't need it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
What version is the ROM you are using?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rubon:
Need help:)

Everything seemed to go so well, well until the phone rebooted and... stuck at HTC logo screen:confused:

Any hep would be greatly appreciated!

I won't do anything to not screw the rest of it)

here some more details:

T-mobile G2

Everything was like on pictures in my post above

There was no sim card in slot and it was, as I remember, in flight mode, wifi on

I made a gold card(if it's matter- through G2 itself, 8Gb, there were no errors) before proceeding and it was inside during the process

Here is Log from AMT:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
Just leave it, it will boot up eventually. Sometimes takes ages to boot the device after S-OFF for some reason.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rubon:
Thank you!

will keep informed

p.s. At least I can do some other things besides Android for the past 3 days)))
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rubon:

Hey guys,

I got an unbranded HTC Dezire Z. What is the change of beeing able to update by OTA after I used this program to get Root/S-off (after downgrading first)?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] raydar670:
Finally an easy tool to root my G2 :D! Just one question, do you guys recommend flashing the ENG HBOOT? Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
Its not required unless you want to use fastboot commands or use AMT to flash Recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] camielkb:
After some reading I'm still not shure: will this work on a stock Desire Z updated to the last OTA update (Gingerbread 2.3.3, Sense 2.1) and all other updates indstalled as well? Or isn't there any way of getting root and s-off?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
Plug ur phone in and start AMT, it will tell you if you need to downgrade or not but I can say if you have latest stock ROM installed then you will need downgrade unfortunatly if you want to achieve S-OFF.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fn002449:
Hey guys,

Today I desided to root my phone (first downgraded and then rooted using this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1055581)

My initial plan was to do just a downgrade by that tutorial and then go further with this tool but when I had downgrade my phone I still got the compatibility error... so couldn't s-off/root my phone.

So I followed the rest of the previously mentioned tutorial.

Now I have root acces but when I did start this tool again (from this topic) I still got an compatibility error and the options step 1 and step 2 are grayed out.

Why is this? can someone explain this to me?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
I see nothing wrong there. Your device is already S-OFF and you have an ENG Hboot installed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fn002449:
Oke so.. because I am already s-off and have eng Hboot then the first 2 options are greyed out.. oke... than it is allright...

Now I have to flash another ROM :D

Thx for the reply!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fiber:
After I used this thing, the memory of my phone locked up and I had to send it in for repair.. Maybe it was just coincidence (more bad emmc reports) but it's strange.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] turmoil86:
I ran the tool and everything went smoothly but now i'm stuck at the HTC screen and the phone doesn't want to boot. Is this normal?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
Dont worry, phone can sometimes take ages to boot up after performing S-OFF.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] turmoil86:
like 20 mins or more like 2 hours? been stuck on the HTC screen for like 30 mins before i pulled the battery out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
Try reflashing rom, but try factory reset first.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] turmoil86:
tried factory reset, no dice and i cant flash a new ROM.... the thing is, this was a stock G2 with a stock rom, no custom recovery or anything :(

thanks for your help btw

edit: got it working, had to flash CMR through fastboot then load a custom rom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] astriaos:
Hey is there any way to compile a list of all devices and software versions that are compatible with this utility? "HTC Devices" is pretty vague.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
If you read the first page in the thread you will see its designed for Desire HD and Desire Z / G2 running stock roms. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rubon:
Thanks again, lyriquidperfection, for the great tool! and sorry for being out of the thread.

continuing my story :) - As I was stuck at the HTC logo sceen, I give it some time to figure it by itself. But after 5-6 hours it was on the same place as left it there.

The situation, wich had turmoil86, is exactly the same as mine. But I went the other way (didn't know much about flashing through fastboot at that time).

So I figured that my only option was to flash the stock rom, what I subsequently did and everything worked again. After that I proceed with permroot - everything went smooth, than I followed pretty much a common path (Rom manager->flashed CMR->nandroid backup)

Again I used your tool to flash eng hboot and again it stoped at htc logo screen. This time was easier - I've read some where on xda, that flashing eng hboot can erase something that prevents phone from booting (being stuck at htc logo screen). So I did a full nandroid restore and G2 went back to life.

so this is my story, hope it might help some one

Any way thanks again for the great tool!!! and, I'd add, great learning experience:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
If you used the ENG Hboot that came with AMT then that would be the reason your device would not boot. The included Hboot with AMT is for the Desire HD and its upto the user to replace the Hboot in the folder with the one for their device. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rubon:
live&learn:)

can I just replce and reflash the right 0.76.2000 eng hboot with your tool?

Thank you!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
Yes but make sure the file name is renamed the same. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] astriaos:
Thanks for the prompt reply! I tend to skim XDA most of the time as anything past the first post tends to make my eyes bleed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rubon:
Worked out great!

Thank you once again!

p.s. nandroid backup is a wonderful tool/option:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
Thanks for the compliment but nandroid backup isnt my work! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] basil.elsh:
Hey so if use this software to sim unlock it, it's permanent right?? so i can install any rom like cyanogenmod 7 or miui and the phone will stay sim unlocked??

Yes mate, sim unlock is permanent. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lukazzo:

should I just downgrade then use your tool to S-off my phone? sorry for being noobish Im really new here @dz forum :D

at btw what are the risks of using your great tool?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
Hi you can use my tool to even patch the version info for downgrade provided you have root if you are using a newer rom. Then you can s-off in the usual way after downgrade. This tool is perfectly safe and has multiple error checking mechanisms in place to prevent catastrophe! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] whouwit510:
ok not sure it worked but it went through the process perfect like this

I fixed it I had to downgrade the radio now I on ATT network on my g2 there edge is pretty fast lol I'm selling my G2 on eBay with zune player combined
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] uvt_novice:
It was so simple!!! Thanks a lot!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Cinderous:
I apologize if this has been answered already;

I just purchased a T-mobile G2 that's rooted with S-OFF on CM7 and its firmware is version 26.04.02.17. I'd like to use it on the AT&T network and from what I gather I'd have to downgrade my radio to 26.03.02.xx in order to use gfree to SIM unlock it. Is this tool capable of doing that downgrade for me (I see "flash radio" in the OP but unsure if that's updates only) as well as the SIM unlock?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] killj0y:
Why not manually flash it. Its way easy. put the PC10IMG.zip on the root of your sd load bootloader and away it goes. Afterwords remove or rename that file or you wont be able to get into recovery! This is vital! Simple, not sure about the rest but once there you can search or follow a guide. If gps doesn't work just wipe the efs with the tool on here there's a guide for that too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Cinderous:
Because I see scary threads like this telling me not to flash PC10IMG.zip :confused:

The phone I purchased is rooted with S-OFF on CM7 already, but SIM locked still. I'd be willing to flash it manually but I have no idea what to flash exactly without semi-bricking it which is why I was inquiring about this tool :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] killj0y:
Oh sorry, lol well then just follow one of the guides from where you are lol. I just don't trust all in one tools personally especially one made for multiple handsets. If there is a cleaner way to do it, I think that's better. Anyways at least if something goes wrong, you know exactly at what step it happened.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spastic909:
That was in regards to flashing an official ota update. Flashing a radio someone made into a flashable zip is different
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
I would take a look at this thread if you haven't already... if you read carefully you'll be totally fine and it won't take much time at all. Good luck.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970809&highlight=flash+radio

And for what it's worth, I've used the radio from the OTA update from T-Mobile (1.22) with CM 7.1 RC1, CM nightlies, and CM7 mod ILWT. And I've had zero problems, but it's always good to confirm this with a bit of research. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Cinderous:
Thank you for clarifying that Spastic I was thoroughly confused by that :P

Most excellent thanks for the guide/link & your response it was a great help and much appreciated :)

Man, i just want to thank you. Your Tool went smooth and fast as expected.

With NO problems, at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] uvt_novice:
I am not sure but since it's S-OFF, rooted and running CM7, I believe it's already SIM-unlocked. Smartphones are sim-locked by manufacturer software.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but couldn't find it. I have a G2 with 2.3.4 Gingerbread. Will this work?

So does sim unlock tool unlock the phone so it can be used with different carriers or just unlocks your sim in some other terms I'm not familiar with haha?

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

I have the T-mobile G2 and after following the connection steps I get an error message saying this app is only designed for the Desire Z/ G2/ some other phone. Could this be b/c of the Hboot, radio, rom, or etc. that I have? I'm guessing that's what the downgrade part is? haha:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] leith51:
has anybody got the 1.34.405.5_PC10IMG.zip file every link i tried is dead need this to downgrade

Just SIM Unlock

Hi, I’m from WM 6.5 world (Tytn II) and have a great deal to get used Desire Z here in Bosnia. Phone is not rooted, it’s stock 2.2 Android (BH Mobile branded).

Problem is that phone is SIM locked and shops in Bosnia are charging up to 30 EUR to unlock it. :mad:

Can I use this tool, apply “SIM Unlock” option, and Commit changes, or is there something else I have to do prior to this. :o

If not, can you please recommend some web site to buy unlock code. There are some of them offering codes for 20$ (cheaper than to go to phone shop).

I do not need root, just sim unlock, at the moment. :D

Thank You.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] leith51:
Yes the tool will give you supercid which is total unlock but I believe you will require to make a goldcard first

sent from my dhd
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] svarognsa:
@leith51

Thank you. I will need just a bit of clarification.

I have found the way to create the GoldCard, but not sure what to do with it. :confused:

My guess is to:

1.	Put it in the phone

2.	Connect the phone to PC

3.	Start the AMT tool

4.	Choose SIM Unlock and Super CID

5.	Commit changes for both

Is that simple, or am I very ignorant? :o

No need for downgrade or some other thing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wez89:
Bricked my device and htc fixed the device, unfortunately i lost all root access which wasnt a problem as il just root the device again..

Considering htc put 2.3.3 on my device and visionary is for froyo i was looking at a different and easier method, stumbled upon this which i thought was great :) so connected my device, knowing i will need to downgrade but thought the gingerbreak apk would be a nice easy smooth way to gain root before downgrading, problem is, the app just doesnt seem to be doing anything.. :/

My device is connected to 'charge only'

i have usb debugging on

disabled all htc sync programs

ran the gingerbreak on my device, the loading wheel is spinning but its been like that for about 10minutes now and nothing is happening :/

any ideas, i could manually gain root but i wanted something simple
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
It is advised to only use the rooting/unlocking method as described in the Wiki, as it is the easiest yet safest way of doing so.

Honestly, it's pretty simple, in my opinion anyway. Had we found a faster yet still reliable rooting method it would already be documented.

You can use either Setherio's downgrade guide found here and then follow the wiki, or Strawmetal's Downgrading AND Rooting one. You can find all the resources here.

Strawmetal's guide is only directed to Vision users, as opposed to Setherio's which is directed to a multitude of devices, and as such it is more comprehensive and potentially simpler/easier to follow.

On a last note, please avoid Visionary as it has been known to brick phones.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wez89:
thankyou for the strawmetal link, used that to downgrade and root my device
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] uvt_novice:
Well, you can just flash the stock Froyo ROM (PC10IMG) through the bootloader, then use this program to root the device - I have done it in this way, to me this is the most simple choice.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Abdullah Dot:
Recently got my vision with 2.3.3 and already s-off. Now I need only root and recovery with strawmetals method. . Or still need to downgrade it first. ..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
All ready s-off? You don't need to downgraded and chances are you're rooted. If you have a stock non-rooted ROM on there right now just flash a new one in recovery, if you have stock recovery then flash a new recovery via fastboot.... You know what, boot into you're bootloader and write down everything on that screen here, as well as which recovery you have, then any advice given will be more helpful
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Abdullah Dot:
yes already s-off , rom is stock and recovery is stock as well .

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
good, now we just need to know how the phone got s-off, being you are stock everything then i assume it was with gfree but HERE IS HOW TO CHECK

the bottom of that post explains it, if you find your phone was originally rooted with gfree then go ahead and flash one the two PC10IMG.zips that are posted there, then boot to your new recovery and flash a custom rom. if you find it wasnt then let me know and well go from there
