What were the first 3 things you did to your phone? Did you install applications that require root and if so what were they? Did you get ClockworkMod Recovery installed and backed up your phone? Just curious to see what everyone did right after rooting your phones.
For me I did the following:
1) Installed ClockworkMod Recovery & backed up my phone
2) Installed Titanium Backup Pro (why does it only show 5 things and not all apps?)
3) Installed ShootMe
For titanium you have to update busybox, you click fix or something I forget but after the update you will see everything

Yep. Go into Titanium, hit the "Problem?" option on the bottom and you will get a pop-up box saying Auto-upgrade for BusyBox, then hit Yes, do it and it will update and show all your apps afterward
*edit* lmao wow sorry. I had this page open to comment right after you posted this but the phone rang so I had to answer and after I got done typing I now see it's already been addressed lol. Sorry about that. Glad it worked for you.
1. Installed ROM manager.
2. Back everything up
3. Installed root explorer to delete bloatware
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
the only thing i have done is used it to disable the apps that came on it .. not show in the app list and keeps it from running but gets the updates still if they get one .. figured it was better than removing them since there really wasnt a recovery or restore or other rom to flash again if something goes wrong from an uninstalled app or something .. it has enough memory anyhow.
Setting up adb was a pain in the ass due to the given drivers dont install ... there is some code that you have to copy/paste into the inf file(that wasnt in the guide) for the mytouch 4g.
other than that .. havent done anything .. im waiting till the something solid comes out ... not a big fan of rom manager .. havent tried titanium .. i really did like armon ra recovery .. hope he makes one for this thing.
This is what I did.

Hmmm I'm not all to familiar with ADB yet but I have had to use it to turn S back on after getting it OFF with the rooting process and the driver installed that was on the sd card without problem (I'm assuming seeing as I needed the driver in order to complete the process... again I'm new to it all).
Quick question how can I check it again to make sure I have adb set up right?
*edit* just to make sure I have it right, and correct me if I am wrong, I connected my phone to the computer started a command prompt, typed in "adb devices" and it showed "List of devices attached, HT0********* device" - so is it fair to say I have adb installed correctly?
I also went to my device manager and seen *Android USB Devices and then under it MY HTC - so I'm guessing that is the name the HTC driver took when I installed it.
Again, I am sharing this as a peace of mine to myself and maybe someone else that is new to the process like myself (but learning thanks to every one of you all here) that is just wanting to make sure its done right.

hmmm you cant open the command prompt and hit adb devices and there it is from what i know .. you have to cd into it first .. which would be the default of cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools (if you put the SDK folder into the root of your C: on your comp) .. then you can type adb devices and you should see yours there and then adb shell and I usually do a "su" as well ..
if ya really want to test it out type in reboot and the phone will restart ... but if you see the list of devices that should be confirmation enough really

glad it worked for ya ..
another thing to try if you have not done so yet is to try something like this in the terminal or thru adb.
pm disable com.tmobile.apppack <hit enter>
you should get a message saying something like new status disabled .. and not just killed
then go into menu/settings/applications/manage applications/all/ and find the one that says "com.android.providers.applications" hit that and then force close .. this will restart the launcher to show the change and that damn app pack that comes preloaded that you cant uninstall will be gone from the applications.
However .. this DOES NOT uninstall them it just keeps the icon from showing up in your apps and prevents it from running but will still get the automatic updates if there is one for it .. how damn cool is that
if you are in adb hit pm list package and it will show you all of the com.names of all the apps on the phone and you can type whatever you want using the pm disable thing like about to remove it from the app list but without unstalling them.
if you want to enable them then its just pm enable whatever app name here.
Clockwork mod installed then I tried to over clock but I figured out that the current kernal is not supported! Or something like that. Then i came here to see if any roms were available yet! Unfortunately there's none for now! Hopefully we will see CyanogenMod on our MyTouch 4g! By the way its my first post

ya i forgot to install busybox the first time so i tried for another day straight got back in and then deleted this like a idiot.. the offical FB app still works from market but I cant sync anyones facebook to my contacts atm.
Dont know if you tried
Get the loop.bat and it makes it pretty easy to get in
sometimes I have to do it 2 or 3 times but thats about the most it takes me to get into adb.
try it, it made rooting this phone the easiest root method on any phone I rooted so far.
did a 3g fender
a bunch of moto droids and one N1
I tried to post the bat file but its not working so here's my second method for you
Open a text program and paste all this in it then save it as loop.bat
:TOP
adb shell
GOTO TOP
This will make it easy to get into recovery for you
watch for the error to show up then you know you got it then you hit
ctrl+c to stop it
I had to use the loop.bat file to get adb in recovery, content for now until someone figures out how to unlock NAND protection.

I would like it if someone could tell me how to get/use a custom rom boot cause I really want one and haven't the slightest idea cause I'm tired of seeing the sprint 4g start up lol.
Sent from HTC EVO 4G via xda app
Well if you are rooted, then go donwload one of the many custom boots on this site. Download the bootanimation.zip (and sound file if its included) to your phone. Then go grab a program like astro or root explorer and copy and paste the 2 files into /system/media. I've done it this way a few times and have never had a problem. Next time though you should use the search feature im pretty sure theres a whole thread dedicated to it.
I searched for help first but they didn't explain it the way you did. I'm going to try your method. I hope it works, I wonder if someone could make one for me..

Sent from HTC EVO 4G via xda app
it all depends on what you have I have the evo with froyo 2.2 android on it and was told it cant be rooted but i followed a video on youtube and got mine rooted you don't actualy have to flash the whole rom to get a new animation booted... just root your phone depending on what you have... i used the unrevoked method follwing a youtube video of course with windows i had to install the hboot usb thing on my evo anyways i got it rooted and the unrevoked site is just one click i got the software from unrevoked dot com... download the unrevoked 3 for whatever operating system your running on your PC... hook it up to your PC watch the youtube video tutorials they will help... don't just watch one though i spent a whole 2 weeks reasearching everything i could to root it... just incase i failed i knew how to undo it from my research... the unrevoked method worked for me... and i havn't been limited to anything i got the free tethering got full premissions i have custom lock screen and boot screen.. anyways go to the site download that theres several other files you will need like the hbooter software if your rooting the evo.. i'm not giving a tutorial on this because i spent to much time myself and knowing what i know would take this whole website to type up. ok so
back to the boot screens.. the site unrevoked is just one click... litteraly start it up with the files all ready and it'll do the rest including rebooting your phone and loading into recovery everything, now you will not loose everything, i did the root and lost nothing but just incase because there is always the chance of errors... get an app called astro... to back up all of your installed apps and an app called MIQ to backup your contacts, calandar, notes, everything basicly on your phone besides apps... on a website create a profile to upload too and then get one more app called SMS backup to backup all of your text messages outbox and inbox and you can restore it all later if for anyreason something is lost.. these are all free apps... now after it roots your phone it will install the clock work rom or w.e. i guess it does flash your phone with a rom but its pretty much the same exact thing and when i did it i lost nothing everything was still installed. if you have the correct files on your computer in the C drive on the root of the C drive... the directory you should have for the files you need to download are "C:\android" and thats it.. anyways again just root the phone then download an app called boot animation changer lite....
with boot animation changer lite all you need to do is have a rooted phone.. scroll through what you like and preview them and if you want it then tap it and choose your screen for me on the evo i chose "480x800" i don't know if thats the wrong one or causes problems but it hasn't failed yet its working good and looks fantastic
I used the exact same way to root my phone, I too used a youtube video and did a lot of research before doing something crazy. I got the app your reffered to me and it worked pretty good (thank you!) But now I want to figure out how to use adb or how to push boot roms from this site onto my phone and 480x800 was the correct size..I think. Your help was very descriptive and I like that. So can anyone help describe the adb method and or the push method so I can learn how to use the boots from this site? Please and thank you in advance.

First - Do you have the EVO drivers, and the Android SDK installed on your computer? This is needed in order to utilize ADB.
If not:
ANDROID SDK
Some of the bootanimations have been made available in a flashable zip that you can install from recovery.
If you are talking about the ones that were installed during the root process under /android then yes, so how would I go about using that to install the boots?
Sent from HTC EVO 4G via xda app
OK then.
Place the bootanimation.zip, and (optional mp3 file)
Open a command prompt and cd to wherever you have your TOOLS folder in the SDK.
ex) cd c:/AndroidSDK/tools
Then you mount the device, and can push the files to your phone to this directory:
/system/customize/resource/
ex) :
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/
adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource/
Then simply reboot through adb:
adb reboot
NOTE: If the bootanimation you are switching to DOES NOT have sound then you need to remove the SPC_animation_final.mp3 from /system/customize/resource/
DONESIES!
so im a previous iphone user and need something new to play with......i follow the instructions to root with visionary but my S is always on and wont be S-off.......what do i do?
Visionary can not perform S-OFF. People tried to come up with 1-click app to do that but it's not possible, at least right now.
Follow this guide to make it happen. It's not as hard as it looks.

I had the same problem. I used one way to turn S-off when I had the myTouch 4g with the radio 0.85.xxxx. When I had my phone swapped since I made up an excuse to get the good screen, the radio was 0.86.xxxx. I tried to follow the same steps as I did with 0.85.xxxx, but wouldn't work. So I ended up trying the ULTIMATE GUIDE TO ROOT and it worked. I put everything unlocked even SIM. THen I used VISIONary r14 to have it root then perm root.

Seriously people, don't you read threads? The rooting method is very easy and does not require ADB or the SDK. I've rooted *5 PHONES* on the first try by reading and just following the damn directions.
You temproot, run a couple of commands in terminal, reboot, temproot, permroot, and go on your merry way.
If this doesn't work follow the guide for gfree and that will do it.
Here, I made a SUPER-STEP-BY-STEP guide. If this is still too complicated for you then you really shouldn't be rooting at all, as it requires some basic knowledge of how to use a computer and the phone. And I mean BASIC.

This one is pretty damn easy, takes all of 10 minutes. Use the Terminal Emulator method.
Read the first post all the way through before you start to make sure you understand the entire process. In a nutshell, here's what happens:
*Download root.rar and extract to be a folder called ROOT on your sdcard. The ROOT folder should not be inside any other folders, so it will be sdcard/root.
*Download a file manager from the Market. Linda File Manager is my favorite.
*Download Terminal Emulator from the Market.
*Download the Visionary.apk file from the link in thread.
*from home screen - MENU, SETTINGS, APPLICATIONS, ALLOW INSTALL OF NON-MARKET APPS. Make sure the box is checked. ALSO UNCHECK FAST BOOT.
*Open linda file manager, navigate to visionary and click on it to install.
*Reboot. This will take a minute.
*Open visionary, check the box for SET SYSTEM R/W AFTER ROOT.
*Hit button for TEMP ROOT. Give it a minute.
*Open Terminal Emulator and type THE ITALIC COMMANDS, pressing ENTER after each.
su
*You should get a prompt for SUPERUSER PERMISSIONS. Click ALLOW. Back in Terminal, continue with these commands, typing them EXACTLY as they appear and pressing ENTER after each line.
cd sdcard/root
sh root.sh
*Now just wait a few minutes.
*When it's done, shut down the phone.
*Hold volume down + power until you get to a white screen. If it says S-OFF near the top then you're almost done. If not, repeat the previous steps until you do see S-OFF.
*Reboot.
*Open visionary, make sure SET SYSTEM R/W AFTER ROOT is checked.
*Click TEMP ROOT.
*When done, click ATTEMPT PERM ROOT. This might take a few minutes. Your phone will reboot itself when done. (I think)
When you boot back up you should be permanently rooted and you are ready to install a custom ROM if you like.
*To verify that you are rooted, open Terminal Emulator and type su. If you get the # sign and a notice that superuser permissions were granted, then you have succeeded in rooting your phone. Congrats!
Installing a custom ROM is another procedure so do a search for the guides on those procedures.

Are you making sure that "set system to r/w" and "run visionary.sh" are both checked at the time of temproot.
and are you getting any type of error codes when you type in the command lines.

Assuming you're doing it correctly, some phones have trouble. Look for the guide titled ULTIMATE S-OFF, CHECK OUT EVEN IF ALREADY ROOTED.

*You should get a prompt for SUPERUSER PERMISSIONS. Click ALLOW. Back in Terminal, continue with these commands, typing them EXACTLY as they appear and pressing ENTER after each line.
cd sdcard/root
sh root.sh
*Now just wait a few minutes.
*When it's done, shut down the phone.
*Hold volume down + power until you get to a white screen. If it says S-OFF near the top then you're almost done. If not, repeat the previous steps until you do see S-OFF.
*Reboot.
*Open visionary, make sure SET SYSTEM R/W AFTER ROOT is checked.
*Click TEMP ROOT.
*When done, click ATTEMPT PERM ROOT. This might take a few minutes. Your phone will reboot itself when done. (I think)
When you boot back up you should be permanently rooted and you are ready to install a custom ROM if you like.
*To verify that you are rooted, open Terminal Emulator and type su. If you get the # sign and a notice that superuser permissions were granted, then you have succeeded in rooting your phone. Congrats!
Installing a custom ROM is another procedure so do a search for the guides on those procedures.

I cannot flash roms or kernel. It won't boot recovery!!! I have stock rooted shift. How do I make a custom recovery? And install roms and kernel
Probably the easiest way is to download ROM manager from the market. The first option in the app is flash clockworkmod. Very fast and automagic. Have fun! Happy flashing.
I have that and kernel manager. Flashed it twice after it didn't work the first time. It hangs up on the HTC boot logo after I try to boot recovery
turn off your phone
power it on while holding vol down.
does the first line say S-OFF or S-ON?
S on I didn't do nand
I've tried a few more things. I used visionary to root my phone. Was that the wrong thing? It all works. But I can't flash. Lol

That's just a temp root. Go into the development section and use the GUI Root and recovery tool...worked for me.

Alright!! Thank you all who have been helping. I have only a few more questions because I'm a little slow ^_^ ok, first. From the emulator I typed Su and gave permission.... now what? I looked for the commands in development and couldn't find. I'm trying to turn s off. I don't care so much about perm or temp root right now as long as I get that annoying s on to be s off. Lmao. I need commands please!!! Assume I have no access to a computer!
Check out the development subforum. It's a sticky thread by bcnice20.
i dont need a signature
Alright I have that, now its not explained there but in order to do that via the terminal do I need to dl the framework and sdk to my phone? I do not have a running computer right now. I had a crap amd system which is officially dead. It's now all spare parts. So doing the shell on a computer isn't going to work for me :/ yes, I'm difficult. Lol

the commands given in that thread is the exact ones you would need, but since you're using a terminal emulator in your phone, you don't need adb.
do step 1
skip step 2
do step 3,4,5 via your terminal
do step 6
extra points:
once you're perma-rooted, you can go straight to installing Rom Manager, and flash clockworkrom that way.
then reboot your phone to recovery, and do a nandroid backup.
once that's done, you're all set.
Thank you dude!!!!!!! That rocks!!! I'm at work and I'm doing it right now. This is way more important than work ^_^ anyone else addicted to Android?

When the perm root method was finally developed I was at work with no access to a PC. I ended up rooting via phone terminal just because I couldn't bear to wait a couple hours until I got home.
^ Shift Faced
Could someone explain step 1 and 3 for me if I'm using android terminal emulator. I tried it but nothing happened. My device is temprooted. I download the file into the download folder. I use root explorer to extract it... where?? I tried a couple places even the root folder (Its not in SD card) then once its good how do I check the md5 from the terminal. I type Su to get permission then what? The string in the post doesn't seem to do anything no matter how I type it. Or maybe I just don't know the command. I'm fairly new to this kinda thing. :/
That's awesome. I'm feeling the same way. I don't want to wait for a computer it might be a few weeks I'm impatient now lol
Wait, I got part of it. I just need to know how to save the file to the root of the SD card and then how to check the md5sum. Once I know that I'm good to go

Download root explorer and long press the file in your download folder, then back out to your sd card directory and select move. You should be able to check mdsum5 in the term app using the commands given

Thanks goes to #TeamWin for Temp Root
This is For Windows only, if you wish to make it work for linux or mac help your self...
Remember, This is still a Temp Root & any Changes made will be Rest back to stock on a Reboot
It's stable & works 100%
I Personally have not lost Root with this new Method
Q. I thought RW was Fixed?
A. Caused by Deleting an apk / file that was already deleted. Journaling shows it still there!
Keep Track of what you delete, as trying to delete something off system that you alread di hangs the /system into RO state.
Before Using!!HTC Sync Must be Turned OFF
Put the Phone into Charge Mode only ( Not Disk Drive )
USB Debugging Must be Turned on
What's Fixed:
Revamped due to new Method:
~ Superuser Apps now Function
~ If you Lose Root, all you have to do is Open terminal & type SU then type fixit! > No More Rebooting & running the exploit again for R/W on system to get Root back in place
~ Fixed R/O Bug!!
~ R/W is now Forced
~ /system is fully editable now! until reboot that is.
~ Busybox is installed to /vendor/bin
~ hex Edited libext4
~ hex edited libfuse.so
~~ This is the Last Update due to it working & Stable ~~

Q. Is this permanent?
A. no, it's a temp root method..
Q. Will I lose SU Access at some point while running the OS?
A. You might, but open terminal & type fixit to get root back!.
Q. What about apps that need a reboot to use superuser?
A. Use Fast Reboot form the market for app that need a reboot..
Q. Can I push & remove items to system & will it work?
A. Yes, but all changes are reset on a reboot.
Once Downloaded, Unzip & double click on the Run_ME_fre3vo_Root.bat File & Enjoy long lasting Root!
OLD NEWS:
Everyone knows that currently with any temp root, you still lose links to the SU Binary & Busybox links, it's just a matter of time before it happens!!
So after digging around somewhat I found an over sight that HTC might use later for system updates via /vendor/bin, who knows at this point though... Anyways, after amount of time the SU Binary along with busybox links if be in system/bin or /system/xbin gets deleted / removed..
Now, what I did was enable the $Path to /vendor/bin which is in the Sensation export PATH..
Any Calls made from this point either be SU or Busybox don't get deleted nor touched from any App requesting the SU Binary!! I've tested this with alot of apps & the Root sticks in place..
Other than Reboot, it might as well be a Perma-Temp-Root!!
I am Asia Sensation..Can i use it?
thanks loads
will give feedback
seems to work the same as before, cant wait until we can permanently change /system files
Thanks a lot !!!
I think the new thread it's beter, for the noob not confusion
with the old one
Great update. You should seriously consider talking with agrabren since your making temp root so much better. And I'm assuming you still can't permanently delete system apps right? Just permanently delete them for the time being until a reboot right?
does this still remove the bloatware as per the previous release? looking at the .bat doesn't seem to remove the apks in the manner/or at all?
Fantastic. Works great.

Even though Root Explorer is granted SuperUser, I still can not modify system files. I also can not actually overclock with SetCPU 2.2.4. It will show the max as 1728000 but it will never scale above 1188000
The process is extremely easy and very user friendly though
i have been trying root my sensation it says its a success but my phone is not rooted can anyone help
i did root it before and it worked i restarted my phone and lost root access as expected but now when reattempt it fails

Reboot did allow me to rename system apps, thank you. SetCPU still doesn't work correctly, but reading the other threads, this seems to be the normal behavior at this time. Awesome tool Eugene.

it doesn't get any easier then this thx for this , everything works perfect except SETCPU is not letting me overclock ...
I really hate to add to the chaos, but no matter what I do. I am not able to get this to work properly. I have HTC sync turned off, and debugging and mock locations checked off, but when it gets to waiting for device, it just hangs, and never picks up the device again. I tried to remove the wait for device commands out of the .bat file, and it gets through but when I attempt to use even titanium, it says root not achieved, and will not let me through. Yes superuser is installed.

EDIT: I finally got it to work. The last two downloads of the files must have been bad or whatnot. I redownloaded a third time and it was the charm! Disregard this. Love your work Eugene!
