Any news on this radio s-off tool??
[HTC Incredible S] guhl99:
Hi!

I would be looking for someone interested in testing it on the phone.

So if you are interested in testing it (I would say the status of incsfree is early beta) I would invite you to come to irc-channel #g2root and look for me.

I would assist you while doing the test.

Have fun - Guhl

[G2 and Desire Z General] rdmerck:
For those of you wondering why the S-OFF feature was worth your extra time to update, this is a prime example of why S-OFF kicks royal behind.

So here is the situation I was having. Friday morning, T-Mo showed me some love and sent me the Gingerbread update. I didn't have my morning coffee so I wasn't thinking strait and authorized the update. I forgot that it would probably interfere with good ol' ClockworkMod Recovery. Sure enough, it did. So, after the OTA failed due to the recovery, I haven't been able to get T-Mo to show me some OTA love again.

However, I had previously invoked the S-OFF feature when it was discovered how to.

After following the guide at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202060 I found myself with a G2 using stock recovery and bone stock Gingerbread (S-OFF still invoked).

After some thought, I decided to do the following:

Flash ClockworkMod via the bootloader screen, and flash SU via the ClockworkMod screen.

Note: You can only do this if you have S-OFF! And since my guide writing skills are not so pristine, I'm assuming you have some sort of working adb/bootloader/recovery knowledge.

Save the attached files (PC10IMG.zip & su.zip) to your sdcard. Reboot into the bootloader either by using the adb command adb reboot bootloader or by powering off, and then holding Vol-Down+Power.

The bootloader will scan for PC10IMG.zip and then ask you if you want to flash the recovery. Yes! You do!

After this, reboot the phone. Reboot into recovery by using the adb command adb reboot recovery, or booting back into the bootloader and navigating to the Recovery console (if you didn't delete the PC10IMG.zip, bootloader will scan it, but don't let it update again, this is redundant).

Once you are in ClockworkMod, navigate to "install zip from sdcard", then to "choose zip from zip card". Select the su.zip file from the list, and authorize the recovery console to flash the zip. Reboot the phone.

Now, you will see the coveted SuperUser app in your drawer. I figured this was wayyyy to easy to have worked, so I tested some root dependent apps, they work flawlessly. I also used the adb command adb shell followed by su once in the shell. SuperUser requested my permission and after granting it, I am able to remove the bloatware that was replaced during the downgrade, also, rebooting the phone as normal and from a removed battery does not remove this root. So I'll say it's a permaroot.

I compiled the attached files specifically for this. The ClockworkMod Recovery version is 3.0.2.4, SuperUser version is 2.3.6.1.
[G2 and Desire Z General] alforque:
Thanks!

It sounds like you started where I am: Clockwork Mod, S-OFF and stock Froyo 2.2.

Q. How did you follow the steps in the thread to get onto Gingerbread? Did you remove ClockworkMod? If yes, how did you revert to stock recovery? This is the step that I'm caught on, and can't find a thread regarding. Thanks!

Edit to add:

Did you unroot the phone using these steps?

If so, were you at all scared about the warning regarding PC10IMG.zip?
[G2 and Desire Z General] rdmerck:
I ended up using the entire stock 2.2 PC10IMG which wiped clockwork off the phone to stock recovery. I didn't do anything to unroot, since the stock rom replaced recovery, system etc but left s-offf in tact.

ETA: I also didn't read either of those articles and wasn't aware of the bricking issue, I've done the phone flashing, modding and unbricking for about 2 years now and just used experience as a guide..
[G2 and Desire Z General] zkid2010:
Okay, so just to verify, you flashed CWM recovery while running the GB update? When you adb shell you open a # prompt? I've been gfree s-off'd since I got my phone so even with the leak or otherwise I've been able to just reflash the stock 1.19/1.22OTA and reroot it but I didn't think to try flashing cwm while it's stock gb'd....so tempted. :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] kpetrie77:
So I sit down to write up a quick guide this morning and what do I find? :D Nicely done. Couple of points I wanted to add to why this works -

This method fixes the things that the OTA breaks for root: New stock hboot and stock recovery are flashed and on the rom side it wipes /system/xbin which breaks the su symlink.

Flashing the PC10IMG above fixes the recovery.

Flashing the superuser package reinstalls Superuser.apk, the su binary and fixes the symlink to xbin.

But, still not hboot-eng so your fastboot options are limited.

When I did this I had replaced the DZ engineering hboot.img in rmk's package with the G2 engineering hboot.img and edited android.txt for the new G2 build. This allows you to take care of both in once flash.

Hope this is useful to someone and thank you for saving me from writing a guide!

8/27/2011 Edit:

Realized ro.secure=0 so I repacked the stock boot.img from the 2.3.4 PC10IMG.zip with the below changes to default.prop. This allows use of the "adb remount" so files can be pushed to system folders without needing to go into terminal and mounting rw.

#
# ADDITIONAL_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES
#
ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.location=1
ro.debuggable=1
persist.service.adb.enable=1

Modified installation instructions for full root:

Flash the PC10IMG.zip with the G2 engineering bootloader in this post

Flash the superuser update.zip in the OP

Extract the attached boot.img to the platform-tools directory

Remove the PC10IMG from your sdcard and reboot into bootloader

Select fastboot

Enter the following command in terminal or cmd:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

Kind Regards,

Kevin
[G2 and Desire Z General] kpetrie77:
Yes. Just flash the PC10IMG and you have clockwork recovery again. However, you absolutely need SuperCID set while in froyo or this does not work.

Kind Regards,

Kevin

HELP!

sort of noobie here..

so i just updated my g2 to 2.3.4 following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202060

and now i want to perm root my phone and overclock it but im having troubles.

1. how do i get clockworkmod installed? i know you can install this from rom manager but it requires root. right?

cause you said.. "Just flash the PC10IMG and you have clockwork recovery again"..

i tried flashing the PC10IMG.zip but got an error and says aborted.

any help please?

thanks in advance
[G2 and Desire Z General] kpetrie77:
If you are already on 2.3.4 and had not previously rooted then this thread will be of no use to you since your G2 does not have SuperCID (again, read the wiki.)

You will need to downgrade back to froyo (other threads on this and links in the wiki.) Once rooted, then install one of the rooted stock roms in this forum or follow this guide to reinstall the recovery and superuser (hboot optional.)

Hope that gets you going in the right direction.

Kind Regards,

G2 Problems??

Hi, how can i get S-OFF on my g2 since it seems i can not generate a beta key from the revolutionary website cause g2 it's not in the drop down list, don't know what to pick and i want to be able to have my g2 rooted with android 2.3.. can somebody help me please? :confused:

Thanks.

Revolutionary is not available for the Desire Z/G2. Have you flashed the leaked 2.3.3 and trying to root? PM please.
[G2 and Desire Z General] manveruppd:
Hey I notice most of the people in this thread are Americans - would this method work for the DZ or is it just for the G2?

Sorry if this is a noobish question.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kpetrie77:
Not a noob question, this one is new for me too. Fundementals are the same, process would be the same. I don't know if there is any issue using a PC10IMG with the info for a G2 (contained in the file called android-info) so may need rebuild one modified with DZ information.

Proceed with caution and do not do anything you are not 100% sure about.
[G2 and Desire Z General] manveruppd:
I'll hold off on confirming the update in that case! :) I'm still on stock firmware, didn't apply the update from March either. When I've read enough to be confident on how to perma-root the current firmware I might risk following the method in this thread. Then I'll post back to let you know if it works on the DZ.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Fludizz:
My DZ came with 1.34 firmware, I rooted it on this firmware. I accidentally upgraded it and am now on the OTA gingerbread ROM. Is this method suitable in this situation or do I require to flash a rooted stock ROM for this method to work.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kpetrie77:
Accidentally manually applied the OTA? ;) Should work, you have a G2 now!
[G2 and Desire Z General] HibikiRush:
Is there any newbie guide for how to do this? From getting Clockwork on there to getting this rooted 2.3.4 on. I have a rooted 2.2 with S-OFF right now, stock. Just don't really know what to do from this point on.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kpetrie77:
How to is in the OTA thread (which needs a helping of Iron Fist.) Come back here when ready to re-root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] slufoot69:
**** Im at the step above finally lol this is my first root and I had to downgrade, man Ive been doing this for hours and hours. My brain is fried LMAO **** I currently have my G2 with S-OFF and a stock Gingerbread 2.3.4. I have the PC10IMG.zip and su.zip in the root or directly in my sdcard. In no folders im trying to say... I reboot into the bootloader. The bootloader will scan for PC10IMG.zip and then ask you if you want to flash the recovery. Yes! You do!

Well when I do it it doesnt ask me to "flash the recovery" it says "Parsing....(SD ZIP)

(1) RECOVERY

Do you want to start the update?

<VOL UP> YES

<VOL DOWN> NO

I accept the update by pressing vol. up. It comes back and says Update comeplete... - OK

Press Power to Reboot

I reboot and get into clockworkmod it says click "install zip from sdcard" I click it and a little hat appears but it doesnt do anything from there. I let it set a couple of min but still nothing... I have to pull battery out to get it to reboot. help pls....

OMG KICK ME IN THE AZZ NOW :eek: I figured it out thanks to Tbbo514. When I was in CWM I was hitting the power button to make my selections instead of the optical button and it worked flawlessly. Thanks TBBO514
[G2 and Desire Z General] vestibule5:
Just did mine today and it worked great, thanks!

Only thing, I couldn't get it to go into CWM at first. Every time I did the bootloader it would automatically scan the PC10IMG file and ask to flash it. After saying no all I could do was reboot. After removing the file from my SD card I was able to get to CWM ok.
[G2 and Desire Z General] MicFizzle:
Okay, I'm extremely stupid so I just want to confirm before I update to T-Mobile's Gingerbread OTA. I wiki'd the froyo unlock( just as a triple check I have to have S-Off and I'm good right?), so what y'all are saying is since I've done that I'm allowed to just download the OTA, update and I'm good to go as far as it being rooted?
[G2 and Desire Z General] kpetrie77:
He's making a list, checking it twice. Gonna find out if he can flash his device. Gingerbread is coming to town!

Sorry, not half as funny as it sounded in my head. :p

Looks like everything is in order. Follow the instructions in the OP to get root back after you OTA. Gtalk if you get stuck.

Kind Regards,

[G2 and Desire Z General] arpitnathany:
can i use this method to revert back to stock recovery

i have the stock recovery image extracted from the 2.3.3 ota

can i just replace the clockwork image with the stock one and flash it via bootloader.

if not then is there a way i can go back to stock 2.3.3 recovery after flashing clockwork
[G2 and Desire Z General] kpetrie77:
Should work but I strongly advise you do not. You will be effectively locking yourself out of any easy way to root. Also, the OTA to 2.3.4 will not flash over the 2.3.3 leak (guessing at what you are trying to accomplish here.)
[G2 and Desire Z General] arpitnathany:
no no you misunderstand i have already updated to gingerbread using ota and still have root i.e. s-off. i just need to flash clockwork recovery and then revert back to stock recovery. i have been updating using ota since the begining and have never lost root. i just need to know if i can restore the stock recovery because my phone keeps making trips to the service centre.

oh and mine is a desire z not g2
[G2 and Desire Z General] kpetrie77:
Guess give it a try. Use the files in the OP. Replace the recovery. If you get any error messages about version or wrong device try editing the android-info file in the PC10IMG to match what you have.
[G2 and Desire Z General] arpitnathany:
Thanks

Tried it it's working i was able to flash clockwork and then revert back to stock recovery by replacing the recovery.img with the stock one extracted from the ota zip.

oh and i forgot didn't need to edit the android info file, i have s-off with supercid
[G2 and Desire Z General] ecuajosh:
i had once flashed virtuous sensation rom, and i had to flash the hboot from the desire z, but im running the original rom. i have received the OTA automatically but it always gets stuck on the rom manager screen.when i try to do it manually it gives me a wrong image error.

i need to flash the original hboot from t-mo.

ok, still a little confused since I haven't done this in a while

here are the instructions I used to root my Tmobile G2 running 2.2 a while back

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_G2:_Rooting

Worked so I know I have S-off

The I should follow jorenko's steps to get 2.3.4 manually

Then I should follow rdmerck's instructions to get recovery and su

But instead of using rdmerck's PC10IMG.zip, I should use kpetrie77's suggestion of using PC10IMG.zip to also get the engineering hboot (this file looks like it includes the hboot image)

Also, I know what SuperCID is but how do I "set" it per kpetrie77's warning? or do I set it at all?

Hopefully I can do this tomorrow or this week, don't really want to brick my phone so I wanted to make sure I have all of the instructions beforehand.

Would like to thank xda community and everyone involved in making rooting possible :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] kpetrie77:
You can check this by going into the bootloader (vol down + power) and selecting "system info." If hboot displays CID: 11111111 you are good.

Side note, don't worry what you get from running getprop ro.cid in the terminal since this will always show the original T-Mobile CID (remember rooting patches the phone so hboot "thinks" it is s-off/CID 11111111.)

Hi all,

I just bought this G2 unlocked with OTA GB (somehow i regret to click upgrade system after reading G2 forum =D).

My G2 :

VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT 0.82.0008

MICROP-0425

RADIO 26.08.04.30_M3

eMMC-boot

I really want to root and use HTC sense my G2. Every thread about downgrading to froyo was for S-ON GB not S-OFF like I have (i assume) except this. It's S-OFF since the first time i bought it.

Could i use this method for my g2.

one question, I'll use my g2 in Indonesia, Is there will be any problem with network or ROM or ETC since it come from t mobile?

Thanks a lot guys,,

You're the best
[G2 and Desire Z General] kpetrie77:
If you have S-OFF, try using fastboot to flash CWM recovery and then flashing a rooted rom from there. Virtuous is seems to be a favorite for Sense. If you don't like it you can always flash something else.
[G2 and Desire Z General] coverall:
Thanks A lot. I'm reading how to using fastboot. i have to set up ADB first (i had tried to set it up many times but didn't work, I'll try again).

Besides, mine is already GB OTA. is it matter if i just flash CWM using fastboot without downgrade it to froyo?

one more, What version of CWM recovery is best for g2?

I'm sorry for so many question I'm real newbie in this.

Terima Kasih Banyak ("thanks alot" in indonesia)

I am now back to Froyo 2.2 permarooted and S-Off -for the umpteenth time, and waiting to get more information.

Is there a link anyone can provide me for a Gingerbread 2.3.4 img, and tell me what I neeed to do to get it installed and rooted? I was told by a member that if I was permarooted the install would be still perma-rooted, but that soes not seem to happen. It ALWAYS ends up non rooted and s-on.

I'm glad this thread is still around. Worked like a charm the first time around. Helped me to root my wife's phone. As with other people I got stuck a little bit with the buttons of the G2. It's the camera physical button on the lower right side you need to push to select choices in the CWM.

The G2 had GB 2.3.4, all other root guides I found I guess were meant for the Froyo build. Those root methods with Visionary didn't work. And I didn't feel like downgrading to root. With this method I was able to get a nandroid backup of the wife's phone as is, before putting an ICS rom on it. If she doesn't like it can easily go back to the way it was.
[G2 and Desire Z General] opokadot:
suggestion

Just wanted to toss this in there and maybe yo can edit your original post so others are aware. If you follow the steps and manage to have s-off rooted GB 2.3.4, you will lose ability to use the HPSA+ network. For me I only have 100 mb of 4g a mnth and after that on GB it would switch to the dreaded 2g (edge). Whereas if I keep my 2.2 rooted I can keep the HPSA+ network at sacrifice to only a few things. I am mentioning it because I literally just spent all day going from stock s-on GB 2.3.4 to downgrade 2.2 then root and etc etc up to where I had successfully installed 2.3.4 GB rooted to only relize the edge network was the only network. After a bit longer here I am typing away back on rooted 2.2 with my HPSA+.... And that to put plainly... sucked. Regards
