So I need the temp root or the exploit w/e before I can downgrade?

I'm prob doing this wrong.

I have VISION PVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.82.0008

When I try to downgrade from 2.3.4 I get:

Main Version is old

Trying to obtain temp root for backup...

For some reason when I try fixsh.su, I get input/output error.

When I tried the first couple times I kept getting a ton of input output errors from one command.

Now when I enter ./fixsu.sh, I get

"cp: can't stat '/system/bin/su': Input/output error

Any idea on what input/output means and how to fix this?

thanks,
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
BrutalHoe, you need to temp-root and run misc_version as per the instructions to be allowed to downgrade.

yhello21, seems to be an error with misc_version, in adb shell, cd to /data/local/tmp and run 'ls -l' (note thats Ls -L not 1s -1, but use small L's)

That will give you a list of all the files in /data/local/tmp. make sure misc_version is in there. If the line misc_version is on starts with drwxrwxrwx, its a folder so cd to it. if its _rwxrwxrwx then its a file, in which case it may be corrupted.

footclan: Try shut the phone down, and pull the battery out when its off to make sure fastboot doesn't kick in. then try again with fixsu.sh

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z General] footclan:
Thanks....while that fixed the error, I still can't get temp root.

After trying fixsu.sh, nothing happens, just another # prompt.

I've tried downloading and installing titanium, but it says I don't have root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
hmm, do you have heaps (like ****loads) of apps installed? especially large ones that have heaps of data? cause that might cause a little corruption.

If you jumped onto #G2ROOT on freenode I could help you a lot easier/faster.

Hi everybody.

it's been a while since I've been here since Nexus One days. Now I am trying to root my wife's Desire Z (HBOOT 0.85.0015 - 2.3.3).

I tried the HTCSuperToolv3, somehow failed. Last resort, I found this thread and tried it.

So far it was working very well with no errors. Until the last part that is flashing PC10IMG.zip. Flashing thru fastboot failed and giving me like "99 unknown error" message.

Tried manual flashing and failed too. In bootloader, I never got the instruction to update the PC10IMG.zip.

Will someone enlighten me a bit? I really out of idea.

p/s: Oh I unlocked the bootloader thru HTCDEV already. Just needed to root and S-Off.
[G2 and Desire Z General] footclan:
Hmm...I have 59 apps under my downloaded section in my app drawer. Some are stock apps as well, like maps and latitude etc.Would it work if I pop in another sd card and try that?

I tried another sd card and had the same results. I remember when I rooted my phone a while ago, goldcard never worked for me. I tried a few times but never had success.

Any clue what's happening?

thanks

[G2 and Desire Z General] joebron:
After sending and writing StockRom.zip, the signature check fails:

sending 'zip' (152433 KB)... OKAY

writing 'zip'... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)

I'm scared to turn it off now - does this mean I now have a corrupted version of the downgraded firmware installed, or will it revert to 2.3 if restarted? I've tried three times and got the exact same error.

Thanks alot bro downgraded and rooted my friends g2 with gfree...got 50 bucks for it..
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
Joebron: the sig check fail probably means a corrupt download, you should check the md5sum.

Go ahead and reboot in the meantime, it won't have flashed anything, so your phone will be the same as it was before.

You're probably going to hate me, but I had problems installing it and I ended up just installing it on a different computer and that worked.

Must have been something I did wrong in the first computer I tried and couldn't figure out.

(I added new paths and uninstalled and reinstalled, I created a new windows user profile and installed it there and nothing!)

I'm having trouble on the final downgrading step. I've followed all other instructions and everything is working great until I try to reboot into the bootloader and downgrade. When I get into the bootloader and press the power button it takes me to the HBOOT screen and freezes. I tried doing the fastboot method also and it transfers the zip, but then is stuck at the "writing 'zip'..."

Any ideas?

Just a heads up. The stock rom links to multiupload don't work because you didn't put the "www". At least they didn't work for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] projectkennedy:
I just wanted to say thanks! I downgraded my phone and rooted it and flashed a custom rom! YAY!

I made myself a gold card beforehand (was following some other guide) and used that and it all worked!

You should ask for your guide to be included in the wiki since most people that use it will probably have to downgrade before rooting.

YOUNGTWAN: we have had someone with the same issue in the irc channel, and so far have not found a fix. I suggest you get the latest RUU and run that, to see if it works.

You can get the latest RUU off htcdev.com by going to the bootloader unlock section. Don't follow the whole bootloader unlock.

I apologize for my delayed response. Haven't really had internet in the past month (didn't even know megaupload was taken down until 4-5 days ago and I fixed the link. I also added "www" to fix the other links. However, I am currently out of town with no computer. Not sure if that last link works or not (the one for the DHD). I'll browse around and try to find it. But apart from the DHD rom, I have fixed and check to make sure the others are up and working.

Can't get past "Gaining temp root"

Hi, rooting is not my forte. I am trying to follow your instructions but I can't seem to even get my device past the first part of gaining temp root.

Everything seems to going ok until I enter this field

$ /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF

I get an error that says "not found" and I still have the $

I think someone should make a video on how to do this :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Setherio:
Does the exploit start to run or when you tried to use the command it just says not found? If it starts to run then try the following

Try using a different start address,

$ /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start F0000000 -end FFFFFFFF

It may take a little longer but the exploit just may be found or earlier than the FAA.

And in an attempt to make up for my absence, I promise I will make A video of how To do this whenever I get back in town and the video should be complete by No later than Wednesday.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Setherio:
Thank you very much for looking for the proper stock rom and posting it. I have updated my guide accordingly. Now all of the devices supported on this guide (G2, DZ, mT4G, and DHD) should all be linked properly. Thanks again ^_^

[G2 and Desire Z General] WTF?:
my main G2 (let's call it MAIN PHONE) is rooted and running G-lite 2.01

I cracked the screen on MAIN PHONE and have a spare G2 that is stock, non-rooted, and has the latest Gingerbread OTA (let's call it SPARE PHONE)

I would like to downgrade SPARE PHONE and then root it using the wiki g-free method.

I don't have a spare SD card, so I would like to utilize my SD card from my MAIN PHONE above to do the downgrade and rooting of SPARE PHONE, but unfamiliar with this gold card business

if I use my SD card borrowed from MAIN PHONE in SPARE PHONE while I perform the gold card mod and downgrade to Froyo and then root it using the wiki g-free method - will I lose any data on the SD card?

there is nothing on SPARE PHONE that I care about or that needs any backup - but I do not want to lose any data from this SD card I am borrowing from MAIN PHONE above.
[G2 and Desire Z General] daemn22:
Hi, I can't get past Step 6 and 7 (exploiting step). I have rebooted the phone in between trials and would still not be able to be "kicked out" of adb shell and get a #. My phone is HTC Desire Z with CID 044. Here is a link of my command window:

http://pastebin.com/dESgupgr

Your reply will be much appreciated!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
WTF? The goldcard only changes the MBR of the sdcard, it doesn't change the data on the card.

When you run flashgc, a MBR backup is created in the current working directory, so if you pull that, flashgc should then have a switch to flash the backup. Though I'm fairly certain it's not neccesary.

The goldcard is unique to the sdcard, not the phone, so whether you create it in one phone or the other, it'll work.

daemn22: That paste shows you running addresses 10000000 - 1FFF0000, The exploit generally finds it at FBB20000. Did you try the other addresses?

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z General] daemn22:
Thanks for the reply. I also tried it with the other addresses. Here's the first one: http://pastebin.com/QynKxqgE
