Thanks for your response. Do you think rooting the phone will make any difference?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratchetrizzo:
Rooting wont make any difference, Tmobile knows you have a G2 based on the IMEI of the phone.

There is no getting around an android data plan, the best option you have is going to retentions and getting on the preferred android plan for $20
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paramshah:
aaah... Not the answer I wanted to hear, but I guess I will have to deal with it.

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smirkis:
just an option, when i used that data plan on my iphone i just kept changing the apn til i found one that kept working.

so open ur apn option and just start trying stuff.

with the tzones plan we used epc.tmobile.com, on a friends we used internet2.voicestream.com, or internet1.voicestream.com, or wap.voicestream.com. its not designed to work but with the right apn it just might. i doubt you'll get the hspa+ speeds tho
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daaango:
iPhone is different, it doesn't even support the T-Mobile 3g band. I don't think you'll have any luck with changing apn's...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paramshah:
I tried that. None of the Apns work.

Once interesting thing I noticed is even if I change the apn name to epc.t-mobile.co it still gives me same error message with the web2go logo "service unavailable". If there is invalid APN name it should give me a different error I would have thought.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adavis159:
the only way to get the G2 to work with tzones is to buy the G2 through a carrier other than tmobile (which probably means getting a Desire Z, not a G2)

T-mobile only knows that your G2 is android phone because it has their logo on it (and therefore in their database)

If I import a G2 from Tmobile Europe, will it work on Tmobile USA tzones?

Does Tmobile USA also have the IMEIs of its European counterpart?

Edit: Desire Z doesn't use AWS. Europe doesn't use AWS.

I just got my replacement phone which came out of nowhere. I have the desire z rom on the phone and I don't have a recovery backup. Is there a way to revert back completely to stock and have my root removed?

I just flashed the stock shipped rom onto my phone. How can I tell if I'm back to a non rooted phone. I know it suppose to say S-on or S-off somewhere.

Thanks.

So I just checked and it says S-ON does that mean I'm good to send this thing back in? and HTC / TMO i played with it?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smokuevo:
If you reflashed the original shipping rom then you're good. I don't think they check but always never hurts to return it to thee way it was when u got it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renn9420:
You can check by pressing volume down + power and going into Hboot. Then see if s-on. You're back to unroot.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_Rob:
How did you go about unrooting? That would be most helpful to know.

So I have a modded HTC HD2, which will reboot by itself while Im running an app or on the internet browsing. Sometimes just randomly, I have had this current configuration on it since I got the phone. But this problem is happening more often now. Sometimes when it reboots I have to go through hell to get android to bootup again.

Tired of your widgets redrawing and lagging when you come back to the home launcher? Well then enter this into your data/local.prop file

Just put that into your /data/local.prop file and then reboot

You should be good to go!
[Droid X Android Development] StDevious:
How does this work ?

Does it keep them the widgets and homescreen elements in memory thereby increase memory usagE ?
[Droid X Android Development] LexusBrian400:
Yes it keeps them in memory. However, the X has plenty to spare. No performance issues whatsoever, just a faster redraw.

Its almost like the checkbox in LP that say "Attempt To Force into Memory", only this way actually works.

After doing with the PERM ROOT, i did reboot my G2 with volume down+power, "s-off" shows on the screen, but something just happened.

after rebooting, i just uninstall VISIONary, then i rebooted my G2 again, to make sure, i did volume down+power again. Good, s-off is still there. When i came into the home screen, i pressed the Root Explorer, oooooops, i got no root access to open this software....

To check this, i re-install VISIONary, --root now---"your device is already rooted".

All in all, i have the "s-off", but i have no root access.

Help!!!

A big thanks here and looking for some one would like to answer me.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stryder5:
Install Superuser (from ChainDD) and make sure it allows access for your root explorer. Also, try the steps again to get S-Off. After you do the 'sync' command, do a reboot back to your home screen (not bootloader) to see if the changes stick.

And don't start a new thread. Post in the old one.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asko1981:
Make sure Visionary is not set to "Root on Boot".

Reboot the phone and run Visionary again.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -RotorDemon-:
Make sure you have the newest version of visionary. Run it to root, open terminal emulator type in "SU" then type "sync" wait two minutes. reboot the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smokuevo:
You don't need visionary after you get pern root. I don't have it anymore. If you followed the guide then you should be golden.

Then you'll need to visit the VISIONary thread and download it from there. It was suspended from the Android Market.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renn9420:
Try to do the stock PC10.img to start all over and just go thru the steps.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoochiezz24:
Well I had the r12 version. Tried the temproot (checked for su and it was there.) and then permroot (the phone forced a reset) when it came back on, there was no root. So I decided to go manually. Followed all instructions here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833965. Did Everything exactly besides step 6. Well I did it but it said that I already had root. So i proceeded with step 7 and waited five minutes (just to be sure) and then restarted. Checked and confirmed that s-off. Powered on the phone and still no root access. I figured that step 6 may have thrown me off so i tried step 6 and 7 again to no avail. Stuck with s-off but no root.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnujoshua:
I had perma-root yesterday. Working and tested... mui happy.

Got OTA update late last night (Southeast US / Tampabay FL). Accepted it like a dumbass.

Currently:

Phone works... I didn't get "teh brix".

VISIONARY tells me "your device is already rooted"

SuperUser has my Root-apps listed with green radio buttons.

su from terminal results in permission denied

screenshot will no-longer run (This program requires root access)

Recovery Boot = S-OFF

Confused = Yes, very

Can't re-root as visionary won't really run properly. Uninstalled Visionary and installed Visionary+. Still says "Your device is already rooted".
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoochiezz24:
S-off no boot fix?

So to reply to my own thread once I've gone through all of the steps repeatedly, I wound up with s-off and no root. even after running visionary+ temp root and then entering (in terminal emulator on the phone) su (granted superuser) and then typing sync and then reboot. Did this over and over again with the same result but to get it to work(for me anyways) i had to run temproot, and then run permroot and then reboot. Mind you, I have already done this step before but it didnt seem to work until afterwards. Hopes that this helps SOMEONE.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superfrag:
For people facing a similar issue, use the RATC method instead of VISIONary, you should get perm root then.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karrma:

after step 7 and you reboot run visionary again and you should gain perm root, hope this helps.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superfrag:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834228

If you already have S-OFF, just do the temp root part, along with the /data/local/tmp/root command.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnujoshua:
I think something is getting lost in translation here.

I have S-OFF. In fact before the OTA I had full perma-root.

When trying to gain temp root, phone claims it's already rooted, so re-getting temp root is not possible.

When trying to actually "use" root, getting permission denied. This includes trying to "un root" from VISIONary r12... which doesn't do anything since the phone doesn't really have root.

So the phone thinks it has root when it really doesn't.

I cannot Temp-Root. At all.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fox_lee:
A big thanks to you!!!!!!!! I just made it by your method!!!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnujoshua:
Thanks Superfrag - the old multi-step root followed by re-flashing with the OTA ko file worked for me (considering I was rooted to the pre-OTA then the OTA happened and I lost it).

I'm permaroot w/out VISIONary now... thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superfrag:
Haha, I know, I had the same problem as you, S-OFF'ed and I lost root upon reboot. VISIONary says its already rooted, so I uninstalled VISIONary and did it manually via ADB using Rage.. got perm root and everything's awesome now! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidEyez:
I have an issue similar my security is off but I cannot get temp root or perm root no matter what I do is there a way to get my G2's s-on again and restart the whole process without having root? Before I screwed up perm root visionary always worked but not anymore please help.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidEyez:
I have tried this and all goes smoothly up until the last root command on Emulator Terminal it says:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bts11:
I have this exact problem: I have tried the Rage method. S-OFF but no root.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Ignore the first error about mkdir failing, it always does this.

But the other errors appear to be because you don't have busybox. Check that you did these steps properly, and try again :

$ adb push su /sdcard/su
$ adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
$ adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
$ adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
$ adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
$ adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*

I'm having another problem when I run /data/local/tmp/root

My phone shows the code after you run /data/local/tmp/rage

You know after you run rage, it shows you that everything is running and don't type and stuff, then it forks #### Childs.

That's the code that comes up when I run /data/local/tmp/root

then as soon as it forks #### childs, the phone restarts itself. o.O

It just turns off and restarts. I don't know what's going on. I still have S-Off with no Root at all. I go to terminal and type SU and it tells me permission denied. WTF!? After all that!? Dugh!!

Any ideas? Thanks...

I've experienced all the issues you have talked about. it drove me nuts. I have spent a lot of time reading in the forums here. I also, tried lot of different winmo roms and radios as well as droid builds. Many told me it was hardware issues. My gut feeling was always it was software related to droid. Most of it has gone away now. I did a task 29 and it didn't help cause the issues still took place. I reformat my sd card everytime i switch builds. Im using energy rom 21683 extreme from the 5th NOV. using 2.12.50.02_2 radio. droid build mdeejay froyo revolution 1.5 with is S2 smartass kernel that i download from his thread in hd2 droid development.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azzzz:
The radio can be seen when you first power on your phone...it's something like 2.10.xxx.xxx. The latest version is 2.15.50.xxx. Be very cautious when upgrading radio. Make sure you get the proper version that is meant for your phone.

Unmounting sd won't delete anything from your sdcard. Formatting will delete everything.

If you have trouble, try a new sdcard. That's my best advice. If that didn't help, try a new rom or update radio.

I solved this problem by doing a re-install of my android bulild and not updating the kernel or installing autokill/task killer apps. This also solved my battery life issues, strangely. I can't draw many conclusions from this but at least it's something to try. I'm using bluetopia sense build.
