[Desire Z] Unrooting like Factory Rom without USB - G2 and Desire Z General

Hi,
I have a French Unbranded Desire Z and I have to return it for replacing because of USB doesn't working.
I followed many tutorial about USB Brick but all of them doesn't work...
So i have to unroot it, reinstall the original ROM (because my old backup was corrupt) reinstal the original boot and all the original stuff to be able for warranty to work !
I already have the RUU_VISION_Orange FR .exe and i know how to extract the rom.zip
But what should i do now ?
Thanks !

If you can't get your usb working make a gold card (there are ways to do this without a phone if needed look online for tutorial) place the proper ruu on the sdcard and boot into hboot and follow the promp. If this dosent work try asking nipqer - seems to know all the best ways for this

Do you have the full S-OFF, eng hboot and custom recovery?
If so, I'd say rip the rom.zip from the RUU. open up the zip and delete the recovery.img and hboot.nb0 files in it, then rezip it, put it on your sdcard and flash it through hboot.
Then we need to flash su + Superuser onto the phone (this zip is flashable through recovery)
Then we need to run all the unroot commands from Terminal Emulator (which you can download from the market)
You will need to copy gfree, and if you still have your part7backup-xxxxxx.bin, to your sdcard.
You'll need to copy those files to /data/local/tmp (as sdcard isn't executable) you can either use a file explorer, or Terminal Emulator (mv /sdcard/gfree /data/local/tmp)
You'll need to get root access (just run 'su' in Terminal Emulator, and grant access when the prompt pops up)
Then we need to run gfree:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 755 *
./gfree -r /sdcard/part7backup-xxxxxx.bin
If you don't have your part7backup
Code:
dd if=dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 bs=1 count=8 2>/dev/null; echo
./gfree -s on -c <result of last command>
Once thats all done, flash the original unmoddified rom.zip from that RUU and you'll be back to stock.

if this is too confusing, feel free to join #G2ROOT on webchat.freenode.net irc

Thanks Nipqer ! It seems all comprehensive to me
Except this point
You will need to copy gfree, and if you still have your part7backup-xxxxxx.bin, to your sdcard.

Sometimes, I saw files like these but named part3...part4 .. I remember that I ask myself what the hell are that files ?! So I delete them...
I make a mistake ? Or can I generate them again ?

Not essential to have those, just easier.
Just follow the 'If you don't have your part7backup' bit I wrote then.
'dd if=dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 bs=1 count=8 2>/dev/null; echo
./gfree -s on -c <result of last command>'

Okay, so if I recap your tutorial :
1) making a custom rom.zip without hboot and recovery
2) flash it via hboot (renaming it to PC10img.zip) ?
3)reboot to recovery this time and (install zip) the supeuser.zip you gave me
4)Running the OS, and install a terminal emulator
5)typing : the "mv command" from the gfree.zip file on/sdcard
6) typing su
7) and the 2nd command
8) reboot and rename the original zom.zip to PC10IMG.zip and flashing it
I should be alright then ?

Yes thats about it. except you want the gfree file, not the zip.
-Nipqer

I started your tutorial, ans i'm stuck at the beginning =/
I unzipp the original rom.zip
I package it in another zip named "PC10Img.zip" and without recovery and hboot....nb0
No problem here
When the hboot recognize it, it starts loading ... and then 2 cases :
- the first zip I made, it simply "forget' he has just loaded and just do nothing except giving me the choice of bootloader...
- the second zip (made from the same way), he load the zip, and says me "Fail to various points", so he conclude saying "Update aborted" or not completed ... i don't remember ..
I use Winrar and 7zip various time, and I wont be able to get it working ...
Tomorrow in the morning, i will test to extract again the zom.zip and test it again !
Any advice for me ?
Thanks, it's really good to have your support !

[Root+ROM+RUU] This will root your TB and install BAMF 1.5nte and the leaked RUU.

All root credit still goes to AndIRC and crew. ​
Rooting The ThunderBolt – Updating The Radio – And Installing BAMF 1.5
From Adrynalyne: This totally awesome wtfomgroflbbq ungodly large PG05IMG.zip contains the latest of everything 1.13.605.7 has to offer plus engineering hboot for s-off, BAMF 1.5, BAMF 4.4.2 kernel, clockwork, and custom boot splash by gadget!
Pros
Root with read/write access to /system
Ability to downgrade and flash any RUU (i.e. signed firmware)
S-OFF
Fully unlocked bootloader
Latest RUU installed
BAMF 1.5nte installed
Cons
Voids warranty
Could brick your phone if you aren’t careful
Its an RUU, IT CAN BREAK YOSELF.....FOO!!!

All firmware credit goes to 911sniper
If I missed anyone in the credits, it was unintentional and I will fix it soon. Lots of people had their hands in on this project.
Please read the instructions in full before you start. Also, make sure your battery is fully charged before taking the plunge.
Step 1
First, download these files:
RUU_Mecha_VERIZON_WWE_1.03.605.10_Radio_1.02.00.01 03_2r_NV_8k_1.37_9k_1.52_release_165253 (md5sum : aae974054fc3aed275ba3596480ccd5b) THIS IS THE DOWNGRADE RUU USED IN STEP 4:
Multiupload mirror
GalaxySense mirror
DroidSite mirror
Mirrors for the package (contains busybox, wpthis, psneuter, su, readme.txt, misc.img, and hbooteng.nb0) (md5sum : 3b359efd76aac456ba7fb0d6972de3af) THIS IS THE EXPLOITS FILE:
Multiupload mirror
GalaxySense mirror
DroidSite mirror
BAMF/Leaked RUU mirrors (md5sum : ede0dc842ab676080befe2ae01c74cd3) THIS IS THE CUSTOM RUU USED IN STEP 7:
Single Source
Step 2
Note that adb is required.
Push misc.img, busybox, and psnueter using the following commands:
Code:
adb push psneuter /data/local/
adb push busybox /data/local/
adb push misc.img /data/local/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/busybox
Step 3
This step will gain temp root and flash the custom misc.img. Run:
Code:
adb shell
Now the shell should display "$".
Run:
Code:
/data/local/psneuter
You will now be kicked out of adb, and adb will restart as root.
Let’s confirm the md5 of misc.img:
Code:
adb shell
At this point, the shell should display "#".
Now run:
Code:
/data/local/busybox md5sum /data/local/misc.img
Output should be "c88dd947eb3b36eec90503a3525ae0de." If it’s anything else, re-download the file and try again.
Now let’s write misc.img:
Code:
dd if=/data/local/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
exit
Step 4
Here you will rename the downgrade RUU (RUU_Mecha_VERIZON_WWE_1.03.605.10_Radio_1.02.00.01 03_2r_NV_8k_1.37_9k_1.52_release_165253) as PG05IMG.zip and place it on your SD card (put the phone in drive mode and just copy it with your OS). Then, run the following command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Choose the bootloader option and press power; let the ROM flash. When asked to upgrade, choose yes. Don’t freak, it’s a long reboot.
Once done, reboot and delete PG05IMG.zip from your SD card.
Step 5
Set up the two part exploit, to gain root and unlock MMC.
Push wpthis, busybox, and psnueter:
Code:
adb push psneuter /data/local/
adb push busybox /data/local/
adb push wpthis /data/local/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/busybox
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/wpthis
Gain root (this will once again throw you out of adb):
Code:
adb shell
/data/local/psneuter
Unlock MMC:
Code:
adb shell
/data/local/wpthis
exit
Step 6
Please pay attention – this is very important. This step involves a small chance of bricking if you mess up.
To push the eng bootloader:
Code:
adb push hbooteng.nb0 /data/local/
adb shell
/data/local/busybox md5sum /data/local/hbooteng.nb0
If the output does not match "6991368ee2deaf182048a3ed9d3c0fcb" exactly, stop, delete it, and re-download it. Otherwise, continue.
Now we will write the new bootloader.
Code:
dd if=/data/local/hbooteng.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Confirm proper write:
Code:
/data/local/busybox md5sum /dev/block/mmcblk0p18
If the output does not match "6991368ee2deaf182048a3ed9d3c0fcb," try again; if it still doesn’t work, seek help from http://chat.andirc.net:9090/?channels=#root. DO NOT REBOOT.
Reboot.
Step 7
Now, put the custom leaked RUU (Adrynalyne.1.5.PG05IMG.zip) on your SD card by putting the phone in drive mode and copying it with your OS. Now rename it to PG05IMG.zip.
Then using an md5sum type program, check the md5sum and make sure it matches ede0dc842ab676080befe2ae01c74cd3, if it does not, redownload it. (Here is a free windows md5summer).
Next, run this command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Choose the bootloader option and press power; let the ROM flash. When asked to upgrade, choose yes. Don’t freak, it’s a long reboot.
Once done, reboot and delete PG05IMG.zip from your SD card.
After it flashes, you will be running BAMF 1.5nte with S-OFF on the latest leaked RUU.
Please Note: One of the TP images will be bypassed while flashing, this is normal. Also, on first boot, there will be no boot sound, this is normal.
Please make a nand backup in Rom Manager after you go thorugh phone set up.
Rom Manager, SuperUser, and Titanium Backup are already installed.
ClockWork Recovery 3.0.2.5 is already installed.
If you have problems, come to the chat: irc.andirc.net #root or use http://chat.andirc.net:9090/?channels=#root.

Try using another SD card, make sure to format it first
And don't give up. I had to repeat this procedure many times with three sd cards, and after a few hours it finished successfully
hey ı have same problem but I make this 3 times another SD card but still I didn't downgrade
Try this steps:
a. Download 'Downgrade_v2.zip', extract it and place into C:\ (for example, C:\downgrade\).
b.
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version

Just watched this.
Either,
a). Your firmware is not 2.36, likely 2.37/2.42 - you can not downgrade yet.
b). You need to do a full factory reset and try again - same happens --> read a).
c). Your not waiting long enough can take 30 seconds - 5 minutes - try b). then read a).
@johi69 - a "device not found" error simply means,
a). plug in your phone
b). you do not have the android SDK installed - install it
c). you do not have USB debugging enabled - enable it - Settings > Applications > Development.
Does built number 2.36.405.8 means 2.37???
and what happens with the phone if you try to downgrade and fails is everything back as it was?

no, 2.36 is ok, it's not 2.37
if you fail, nothing is gonna happend(before i downgrade, i've tried at least 5 times)
just follow the steps, one by one, and I'm not responsible if you brick your device, do at your own risk but if you follow all steps, and you know what you are doing, it should be safe, for me it was.
before you start downgrade, do a factory reset of your phone.

I dont think you extract the recovery.img.
It's the rom compressed folder you extract and then you replace the recovery.img and then re-rar the file and replace the one in the temp folder.
I think thats right anyway
thats what i meant to say... could not extract rom.zip
Never mind.... i tried using 7zip, that did not work, but winrar did

i tried with a goldcard too, this didnt work .... I tried the downgrade method and that didnt work either -.-.............
I just want to get rid of the stupid freaking pre-installed orange apps.
As always, I am pessimistic about these kind of guides.
This time for a good reason: you cannot just replace signed recovery with unsigned recovery in rom.zip. The resulting package can only be flashed with S-OFF.
Would you happen to know if there is any development being done on this build? From what i have been reading in the forums...and please correct me if i am wrong, but very few people seem to have 2.43.661.
Please review Post #1 and try ship rom same your DHD rom.
Ex: My DHD from Korea , i try flash shiprom KT_KR and work it for me. After rooted and S-OFF, i can flash any shiprom 1.x or 2. WWE.

Hi all,
I appreciate this forum is cram packed with info, but for me as a newb...I can't see the woods for the trees :-(
I have a stock Orange D-HD ( A2.3.3 with sense 2.1 ) and basically just want to unlock it to use an O2 sim.
I have previously flashed WM6 cooked roms onto Kaisers / Hermes & Himyies so do understand the basic principle. And I grasp the basic point about rooting as I have flashed a Superpad device too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964996
So I started to follow the above tutorial thread and downloaded Visionary+ and S-OFF etc.
But even though I set USB root debugging, when I run Visionary+ to temp-root, my DHD just runs the triange message a few seconds and then just goes blank.
Is there an alternative way to root instead of visionary+ ???
Someone pls help me get past the first hurdle and root my device
Thanks
I got stuck too but...
Did u try ticking the 'root on startup or reboot' option? then restart. it may take a few goes, u'll probably notice Superuser has been installed then Temproot should happen next reboot. Permroot's the same, may take a few times to stick. To test if ur root has worked try installing Titanium Backup from market, u'll need it once ur rooted.
If you have a Stock HTC with Android 2.3.3 you need to downgrade the software version first before you can use visionary.
[GUIDE] How to downgrade 1.7x/1.8x/2.x to 1.32.405.6
ahh ok, will do.
None of this was mentioned in the guide link I mentioned in the original post. It would be worthwhile for that guide to be modded to reflect the fact a downgrade is needed.
"Open up a cmd and go to Downgrade folder"...is this done on the PC or the phone??? don't understand...
hey, have you created a goldcard mentioned in section 1 of the tutorial?
ermm,, nope
I wasn't sure I needed to as it seemed to be related to branded phones. Mine is locked to orange at present....but it doesn't have an orange splash screen or any orange logo on the phone casing. Thought if my 'build' number had '405' in the middle...that this meant I didn't need a goldcard creating...
wrong or right peeps??

All very well if you understand what a rom is. My software page is full of 2.50 , 2.6 type numbers and nothing below 1.7....hence my comment.
Also, I've made a goldcard out of a spare 1gb sd, and copied PD98img.zip to it. So for the next bit....do I now put that goldcard in my HTC and connect to the PC whilst set in USB debugging enabled mode.
Then do I put this lot below into the win-xp pc 'run' box line by line or one whole lump?:-
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell
./data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FBB00000 -end FFFFFFFF

I dont use Visionary+ , it just dont work in my phone,end me up using manual method. Plus S-off and Engineering S-off.
First of all, DOWNGRADE UR PHONE TO 1.32
Gaining Radio S-OFF:
This method will get you the Radio S-OFF flag while SIM-unlocking it and setting up SuperCID, which means
1. This method will root your phone for the process if it isn’t already rooted. If you just want to permanently root your phone
2. Make sure you have ADB installed on your computer. Also, if you have previously installed VISIONary on your phone in order to root it, uninstall it first before proceeding.
3. Download Desire HD S-OFF Toolkit and unzip its contents to your computer. Put it in your adb folder
4. Enable USB Debugging on your phone from Settings > Applications > Development.
5. Connect your phone to your computer via USB.
6. Launch a Command Prompt/Terminal window on your computer, navigate to the folder where you extracted the files in Step 3 and enter the following commandsne by one , press enter after each line
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 push gfree /data/local
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/gfree
7. Install Terminal Emulator app on your phone from the Android Market and launch it.
8. Enter the following command in Terminal Emulator on your phone:
/data/local/tmp/rage
9. In a while, you will see the output “Forked #### childs”. Now press ‘Menu’ and tap ‘Reset Term’ to exit Terminal Emulator.
10. Launch Terminal Emulator again. You will notice that it force-closes. Don’t worry and just launch it again, and you should have a root shell indicated by the # prompt instead of $.
11. Now enter the following commands in Terminal Emulator:
/data/local/gfree -f
sync
/data/local/tmp/root
sync
If you get a ‘mkdir: /system/xbin already exists’ error during the process, ignore it and proceed.
12. Wait patiently while the process finishes. Once it is complete, reboot your phone.
You should now have Radio S-OFF, SIM-unlock and SuperCID all set on your phone. If you just want to install ClockworkMod recovery and custom ROMs etc., you are all good to go and do not need to gain Engineering S-OFF. You may simply install ClockworkMod Recovery, find a custom ROM of your choice and flash it to your phone from recovery.
Gaining Engineering S-OFF:
You should attempt to gain Engineering S-OFF if and only if you want to gain absolute access to your Desire HD including the ability to flash a radio or edit all your phone’s partitions the way you want. If you are not absolutely sure what you are about to do, we recommend that you do NOT proceed.
1. Make sure you have already gained radio S-OFF by following the above-mentioned steps.
2. Download the Engineering HBoot for HTC Desire HD and extract the contents of the zip files.put in adb folder
3. Enable USB debugging (if not already enabled) and connect your phone to the computer.
4. On your computer, launch Command Prompt/Terminal, navigate to the folder where you extracted the files in Step 2 and enter these commands:
adb push hboot-eng.img /data/local
5. Finally, launch Terminal Emulator on your phone and enter these commands, being EXTREMELY careful not to make any mistake here:
su
dd if=/data/local/hboot-eng.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Make sure to allow when Super User access is requested. Wait till the process is finished and you’re done!
You now have the Engineering S-OFF HBoot installed and with this, you have absolute control over your HTC Desire HD. You can now flash radios of your choice to your phone and have access to modify all its partitions as well as unbrick it in certain circumstances where no other method would revive your device.

...but I get lost here : "•Open up a cmd and go to Downgrade folder, execute commands:"i.e. I don't understand a 'cmd' is an where I open it from..
EDIT : okay finally at 1.32 & rooted ( yey!)
wanting to check whether the S-OFF info is right but having a mare trying to get bootloader screen to stop from tripping to HBOOT and running the PD98IMG ( even though I took out the goldcard ).
Is there some specific combination to hold vol-down and power for a set number of seconds? I've tried 10+ times and can't stop it going onto the HBOOT update thingy :-(
Ok folks...back to my painful rooting excercise
I'm still in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964996
..trying to eastablish whether or not my S-OFF info is correct before proceeding further. The thread says :-
"Testing Eng S-off and Radio S-OFF
1. Power Down Your Device
2. Go to Bootloader
3. If it says Ace PVT ENG S-OFF your phone is ENG S-OFF.
4. use Volume down to get to system info and tap power button to select
5. check CID for CID-11111111 (if you have this all is done 100%)
6. Reboot
"
how can I check my "CID-11111111" info ? where is it displayed?
DOH STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!!!
Before I made my goldcard I put a copy of pd98img.zip on my SD card....and although I took out the goldcard...when I put the normal SD back in, I neglected to recall it had a copy of pd98img.zip still sat on it.
Thats why I couldn't access bootloader.
Anyways, I have the right S-OFF info so its now onwards the next step

Also before anyone continues make sure you run cat /proc/kmsg | grep 'mmc0:0001' If you have a M4G2DE EMMC stop do no use clockworkmod recovery or even try to root as you will fry your EMMC.
If you have SEM04G EMMC then your safe to continue.
If your using the PD98IMG.zip from the retired AAHK just remember its no longer support.
Personally i would use the firmware.zip file from the tutorial which is included in the http://tau.shadowchild.nl/files/ace-tools.zip its safer that way just remember to backup your boot.img as its important if you want to boot back into sense 3.0.

Step 3 reduced, to simpify method even further.
Does not work for me... got bootloop after flashing ROM. Any ideas?
Guide worked for me!!!!!
Hi all, reporting back my experience with this guide...
Prior to using this guide, I was already HTCDEV unlocked, rooted and custom rom (SVHD V1.3.0)
I basically followed this guide with a few little needed changes.
1st I backed up my rom using 4ext recovery.
1. same
2. same
3. same
4. There was no file named "recovery1.img" in ace-tools, so I just flashed the "recovery.img" (If you already have custom recovery flashed, I don't think you need to do this step but I did it anyway).
5. Because I was already on custom rom with different kernel (boot.img) than stock (rooted) rom, before I reboot into recovery, I extracted boot.img from stock rooted zip downloaded from the link and flashed it from fastboot (if you don't do this your rom may not boot).
5a. reboot into recovery and flashed rom
6. there was a typo in the line
"• adb shell /data/local/tmp/goldcard -c <string of numbers and letters should go here> -o /data/local /tmp/goldcard.img"
there is an extra space between local & /tmp/ at the end of line, the command line should read
• adb shell /data/local/tmp/goldcard -c <string of numbers and letters should go here> -o /data/local/tmp/goldcard.img"
7. If this is all fine boot into bootloader again.
From bootloader go to fastboot.
Go back to the cmd window on your PC from earlier, type in:
• Fastboot oem lock<------ phone rebooted itself after this command so needed to go back to bootloader fastboot (I did a quick battery pull)
Then type:
• fastboot oem rebootRUU
everything else was good....
My Hboot screen is the same as OP screen shot.
I reflashed the 4ext recovery I previously had, then did a system restore of my backup and booted into SVHD with out a hitch.
I pretty sure that's all, I hope this helps.

Hmm that's a problem with ADB on your computer, it can be for a number of reasons, but try restarting your PC checking for background ADB related plugins/processes and try running the commands again.
If it still doesn't work try another PC if available.

Hi all, reporting back my experience with this guide...
Prior to using this guide, I was already HTCDEV unlocked, rooted and custom rom (SVHD V1.3.0)
I basically followed this guide with a few little needed changes.
1st I backed up my rom using 4ext recovery.
1. same
2. same
3. same
4. There was no file named "recovery1.img" in ace-tools, so I just flashed the "recovery.img" (If you already have custom recovery flashed, I don't think you need to do this step but I did it anyway).
5. Because I was already on custom rom with different kernel (boot.img) than stock (rooted) rom, before I reboot into recovery, I extracted boot.img from stock rooted zip downloaded from the link and flashed it from fastboot (if you don't do this your rom may not boot).
5a. reboot into recovery and flashed rom
6. there was a typo in the line
"•adb shell /data/local/tmp/goldcard -c <string of numbers and letters should go here> -o /data/local /tmp/goldcard.img"
there is an extra space between local & /tmp/ at the end of line, the command line should read
•adb shell /data/local/tmp/goldcard -c <string of numbers and letters should go here> -o /data/local/tmp/goldcard.img"
7.If this is all fine boot into bootloader again.
From bootloader go to fastboot.
Go back to the cmd window on your PC from earlier, type in:
•Fastboot oem lock<------ phone rebooted itself after this command so needed to go back to bootloader fastboot (I did a quick battery pull)
Then type:
•fastboot oem rebootRUU
everything else was good....
My Hboot screen is the same as OP screen shot.
I reflashed the 4ext recovery I previously had, then did a system restore of my backup and booted into SVHD with out a hitch.
I pretty sure that's all, I hope this helps.

HI
Yep I have read through everything over the last two days and followed all the steps just stumbling at the last hurdle
I'm sorry, you'll have to wait for someone better at this than I am to help, did you ensure that you HTC-Dev unlocked before attempting this step?

Gfree failed to cycle eMMC at the end of the s-off procedure, so something's gone wrong.
I don't pretend to be an expert with DHD, and this is a bit different from working with HTC legend.
Just checking that you did the hboot update to version 2.00.029 (htcdev) and unlocked.
It sounds like it might be a hardware fault with phone. I have heard about lots of DHD users with fried eMMC but never with legend.

Yep I'm on HBOOT 2.00.0029 and my eMMC says boot next to it I just can not get cid to change from ORANG001 and sim is still lock
Bloody ORANGE
everything seemed to work fine until the final stages.
I have even tried Easy Radio tool but this fails after trying to push and I have also tried the Ultimate Multi Tool which allows me to Flash and check status but will not S-Off or Super CID or sim Unlock it just fails at the final stage
Ideas anyone
What radio are you on, you have to have a certain radio to exploit with.
