No, I meant type adb shell and see if their is a # (meaning root) or a $ (meaning no root)
The downgrade thread here at xda made by unknownforce doesnt have that step anymore, its now in the last step. check it out its here
i got a # so i'm rooted i been looking on that thread
Are you giving that command while in android or recovey?
android
Is usb degugging on?
yeah
ok now i've got farther!!!! i think i was copy and pasting it thats why but now instead of it saying no permission or w.e its saying file not found... so whats the code i put in or file name? i got the hbootdowngrade217 file... in my root directory with the fastboot and adb...
ok nvm i'm back to square one same thing with no permission :-/
Did you go through steps again just to make sure you didn't miss a step
Try to restore with an official ruu. Download it and put it in your sd card. Let it boot and turn usb debugging on, then follow the instructions to temporarily root your phone and try again from there.

I rooted my thunderbolt. After flashing clockwork mod, I downloaded the rom of my choosing. Then when booting to recovery to flash the rom, I get kicked to the bootloader. Help!??!?
Ps: It seems its that clockwork mod wont take even though rom manager says flashed sucessfuly
EDIT: I did some more investigation and after redoing this
"Step 5
Next, enter the following commands:
adb shell
/data/local/psneuter
To unlock eMMC:
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:
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.
dd if=/data/local/hbooteng.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Confirm proper write:
/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 chat.andirc.net in channel #thunderbolt. DO NOT REBOOT.
Now, reboot your phone and put the custom RUU (PG05IMG.zip) on your SD card. Then flash it. This will upgrade you to release firmware with an S-OFF bootloader.
Next, run this command:
adb reboot bootloader
After it flashes, you will be running release firmware with S-OFF."
I have working recovery with S-Off. Just thought I would update incase this happens to anyone else
I'm having the same issue after rooting but I used the one click process. Guess at this point I should just try to go.throughit again? Or should I go.through adb and follow your steps?
Thanks you!

I think I will need your help regarding this now... I'm stuck at the situation where I will have to go back to the stock GB as somehow my copy of HC is bad and a restore/recovery is impossible (somehow a mismatched MD5), now I'm stuck the recovery as I am not sure if the GB would work on a HC HBoot.
What exact hboot do you have?

So how would I upgrade to S-OFF Honeycomb, if one of the steps for HC->GB downgrade is to use the HTC unlock? Or is step 5 ("Relock the bootloader") undoing the HTC unlock?

EDIT: Fixed
Nice Job sir, Thanks for the development and share
Just a suggestion to Globatron:
When/if you build RUU for the downgrade, maybe it will be possible to check first whether the device is s-off in HC and if so, refuse to run.
Trying to save some support time.
Upon running the RUU, I get:
"ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR - The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again."
What I did:
HTC Unlock (bootloader says ""UNLOCKED", and "S-ON")
Get into FASTBOOT, then:
Code:
C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-express-HC.img
sending 'recovery' (4712 KB)... OKAY [ 0.624s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 0.703s]
finished. total time: 1.328s
Then reboot bootloader, enter recovery (blue "REVOLUTIONARY" cwm), then:
Code:
C:\Android>adb push misc_version /
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
3581 KB/s (454748 bytes in 0.124s)

C:\Android>adb /misc_version -s 1.22.651.1
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.26
<bunch of how-to use ADB messages>
I think the problem is right there; what am I doing wrong?
Nothing it's my error, I mis-edited an update.
ok, updated now, also note the addition of step 3 ( you can run that at any point before the last command in step 4 )

And nothing about backing up / patching partition 29 >.>.

Question, after i run this command, I get No such file or directory.
Did i do something wrong?

Thank you! It worked, and I am now back to Gingerbread =D.
OUTSTANDING!! Worked for me as well Thanks!!
Im using MAC OSX, so i've only use SEUS. So how can i get root for my NEO and unlock BL???
sorry for my bad ENG
I did unlock my bootloader and rooted my neo using a linux system. Never used windows. So I suppose it would be possible to do the same with osx.
For unlocking BL use this http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
You would need android sdk and run fastboot from there.
For rooting I suggest you look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468866
Good luck!
I used S1Tool to unlock bootloader and I think it is only in Windows.
If you use the official method (http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions) using fastboot, I assume you can do that on Mac, try this? http://blog.wapnet.nl/2011/05/setup-adb-and-fastboot-with-android-sdk-on-mac-osx/
If you unlocked the bootloader, it is far more simple to root, just boot into CWM using recoveryNeo.img.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183465
I used the files in here: http://androidsu.com/superuser/
1) Extract and copy `su` and `Superuser.apk` out.
2) Boot into fastboot (hold menu while plug in usb).
3) On computer type `fastboot boot recoveryNeo.img`.
4) Wait till CWM is loaded.
5) Go to Mounts and Storage and mount system.
6) On computer, type `adb devices` to make sure it is connected (You may need SE's driver)...
Code:
adb push su /system/bin
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
adb shell ln /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
7) Reboot system.

Hello,
I am not sure If someone can help in this case.
Please provide more information.
* Do you confirm, that you cannot boot in recovery from HBOOT?
* What is your exact HBOOT version? Do you have an "Engineering HBOOT"?
When only fastboot is working then I only see a little chance for your phone when you have an engineering HBOOT.
Best regards,
Catherall
P.S: Seems like you really tortured you helpless Desire Z
thxx for reply......i try to provide in detail.
* Do you confirm, that you cannot boot in recovery from HBOOT?
yes , i can boot in recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-vision.
* What is your exact HBOOT version? Do you have an "Engineering HBOOT"?
No i think i am on stock hboot but i dont know indeed.
More Detail are,

Two things are not clear to me:
1) How did you "unlock" you phone, did you use http://htcdev.com/bootloader/ method to get "****Unlocked****" in HBOOT? This is important to know for me.
When you indeed unlocked using http://htcdev.com/bootloader/ method, then you have to install an suitable "boot.img" every time you flash a new ROM.
Otherwise the old boot.img tries to boot the old ROM that was overwritten with the new one you flashed.
2) When you can boot ClockworkMod Recovery then you can connect using adb. Just use adb while booted into your custom recovery.
I really recommend to proper unlock your HTC Desire Z as described in
http://goo.gl/aXNr
The advantage of this method is, that you can flash any custom ROM without the need to flash the kernel of the ROM (boot.img) separately!
ATTENTION: Before doing anything like "fastboot oem lock"
you have to use "misc_version 0.1" and "flashgc". Do not continue without that!
When you do not know how to use that then ask (here or in freenode IRC channel #G2ROOT)!
Then you can go on to downgrade your phone:
[GUIDE] Downgrade G2 (2.3.X) & DZ (2.3.X) & mT4g (2.3.4) & DHD w/ S-ON to Stock Froyo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
Please make sure that you follow the steps described under the topic ***If you have used the "official" htcdev.com unlock option***
Then you can gain S-OFF (real unlock) using gfree
If you have questions then come to the awesome freenode IRC channel #G2ROOT.
Best regards,
Catherall
yes i unlocked with htcdev.com,so i will lock it again with "fastboot oem bootlock" command and will try to unlock as your advice.
i am so happy after seeing your advices.and i didn't know that i can use adb shell in recovery.you mean boot in recovery than use adb terminal from pc.ok i check it and try to apply it.and thankyou very much again for your help.
I will tell you results.
Attention
Before using fastboot oem lock make sure that downgrade would work.
Run the commands "misc_version 0.1" and "flashgc" successfully before doing anything like
fastboot oem lock!
Visit freenode IRC channel #G2ROOT
I am not 100% sure what happens on your semi-bricked phone with fastboot oem lock!
Best regards,
Catherall
one more plzz
ok i will make sure but plzzz tell me can i restore officialy stock rom with adb support ( may be with golcard support ) sothat i dont wanna take any risk.no downgrade,no s-off just my previous position.
I went to #G2Root but i didnt understand how talk anybody.i am not familiar on that.again thxx for your attention for me.
P.E : ok i tried adb commands while booted in recovery. adb devices command works and show serial number, but when i command ' adb shell ' got " # " instead " $ " so stuck again need more advice plzzzzzzzzzzzz.how can get " $ "
PLssss Help
i am getting " ~ # " Error in adb shell please helppp....
Options for S-OFF/root or reverting to Stock
Hello klassikkamii,
most custom Recoveries provide root access when you use "adb shell" to connect to them.
So adb shell returns "#" to indicate root access. When you get the prompt "$" then you have access as a user.
I would do the following steps. They allow you to get full S-OFF, Engineering HBOOT and a ROOTed ROM, or if you prefer return to stock ROM.
Returning the latest stock is much easier and safer when you do the following steps to change the internal software version number of the phone an make your SD card a goldcard.
Download misc_version 0.1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=661216&d=1311237785
Download flashgc:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=819704&d=1324116910
And then use the following procedure to change version number and make a goldcard (as provided by Setherio in his guide [GUIDE] Downgrade G2 (2.3.X) & DZ (2.3.X) & mT4g (2.3.4) & DHD w/ S-ON to Stock Froyo:
1) Unzip misc_version_01.zip and flashgc.zip in the platform-tools directory.
2) Run the following commands from you platform-tools directory:
Code:
adb shell mount /data
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb push flashgc /data/local/tmp/flashgc
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/*
adb shell
Now you are in the phone shell with root access (indicated by the prompt "#").
Continue with the commands:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.00.000.0
This should return:
--set_version set. VERSION will be changed to: 1.00.000.0
Patching and backing up partition 17...
Continue to make you SD card a goldcard:
Code:
./flashgc
Note: If you get the following error, please make sure your sdcard is inserted in your phone: Error opening backup file.
Continue with the command
Code:
sync
Double check that you phone's software version number is set to 1.00.000.0 with the command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 bs=1 skip=160 count=10
The first line of the command output must be:
1.00.000.010+0 records in
Exit the phone's shell with
Code:
exit
From here you can get an Engineering HBOOT and a custom, rooted ROM, or revert to a stock ROM. Both ways are about the same effort.
Please post how this worked out for you.
Best regards,
Catherall
still stuck
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/misc_version
Getting Error
failed to copy 'misc_version' to /data/loca/tmp/misc_version :Not a directory
As i am already with "~ #" i try direct command :cd /data/local/tmp
Got Error This :/sbin/sh: cd:can't cd to /data/local/tmp
if i use command for sd card,
adb push misc_version /Sdcard/misc_version
it show size of file or push succed but not in local/tmp.
i think if i would get "$" instead " ~#" May be i can do all u advice me.
Better do it interactive
Hello,
there might be several reasons why the command did not work.
Not having "$" is none of them.
Please come to freenode IRC and login to channel #G2ROOT. Ask for Catherall, I should be there for the next hours. When I am not there then check back later.
Best regards,

ok i solved all Puzzle.solution was only use " GoldCard Method".i use command mmc2 instead mmc1 and voilaaaaaa i got my CID then everything was eassy.....in the End i really thanks to Catherall,You help me well...your information was helpfulln from your instructions i got my way thanksssss...
