[Q] None of the roots are working!

---

Hello!
I'm here because I've got a big problem with rooting my HTC Desire Z. I've tried almost all the guides on this forum (and not only) but none of these are working. I think this is because of my phone is branded to Vodafone. Can you recommend me which method should I use to root my phone? I do not want to change my ROM. I don't even want to install applications. I just want to fully access my phone's internal memory.
Some useful info below:
Serial number: SH0B8RT04837
Android version: 2.3.3
Core version: 2.6.35.10-g7b95729
Compilation number: 2.42.161.2 CL84109 release-keys
Software number: 2.42.161.2

Thanks for any help.

think the problem is 2.3.3 rather than vodafone.....

How to say...
If changing ROM is needed to root/S-OFF my phone, I can do it.

i mainly followed the desire z rooting guide on wiki, it did take me along time as i seemed to run in to every problem imaginable!

i only did mine about a month ago & its also vodafone so dont see why it wouldnt work now

It's also not working. In 8th step there is a "CID Incorrect" error...

i think thats the step where i think you need to create a gold card...

this bit took me a while as its a job to tell if your sd card has worked.... lucky i had a few to try & one worked
