my S wont turn off

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.

*by " same as you" i mean i was heaving a hard time gaining s-off, until these videos

Hi guys, my girlfriend just got a MT4G today and I'm having problems getting s-off too.
I've tried all methods and nothing seems to be working. Any suggestions? If you need more info just ask, but like i said, i've tried like three different ways and none work. I'll edit this post soon and add what common errors im getting

I couldnt get it done with Visionary r14, instead of getting the option screen when I opened it, it went straight to the rooting phone screen and just didnt work
I found r11 and used it instead and that solved my problem, the rest of the process went easy

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.

I tried r11 but it didn't work so I went to r14 with the ULTIMATE GUIDE TO ROOT and it works. So I guess each is their own.

Ok so I'm still having trouble with this. Can anyone tell me what I need to download for the sdk kit? I have a acer aspire one laptop either a d150 or a150.i don't know what the difference is. Running windows xp sp2 or 3 lol

Dont even bother setting up the SDK. It is a pain in the arse!!! Use this method if you need to set up ADB.

Thank you I was looking for something like this

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
The gfree method should do the trick.

I got it working after 4 hours -__- I'm not sure if it had anything to do with it, but once i removed the sim card it seemed to work. Got s-off and permroot and even flashed cm7 nightlies afterwards with no problems, then put the sim back i n

SLOW DOWN, read the directions CAREFULLY, and make sure you understand the entire process before starting. I probably read the guides 20 times from start to finish before I rooted.

[Q] My half assed root.

[/FONT I thought of myself as a well seasoned vet when it came to rooting. I have had a G1 and a Mytouch 3g. Since I now have the Mytouch 4g I would like to root it completely. I have run Visionary and can have SU privileges, then cant boot into recovery. I then tried using my computer to root. Still nothing.. Any help? Thanks you!

Visionary is only part of the process. You need a couple more files and a working knowledge of abd and using terminal on your Mytouch 4G:
files:
wpx.ko
hboot_dhd.nb0
Visionary
A Terminal app (I use SUFBS)
Commands:
push the above two files to /data/local using ADB
adb push wpx.ko /data/local
adb push hboot_dhd.nb0 /data/local
run visionary and get temp root
Terminal:
Open up the terminal app and type in “su” to gain root access
Once the “#” appears, type in “insmod /data/local/wpx.ko” and hit Enter. You should get a “function not implemented error,” which is what you want.
This next terminal command will turn your device into a nice paperweight if you mess it up. If you do mess it up, don’t blame me, this all on you!
dd if=/data/local/hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 and hit Enter.
Close the terminal app, now open up visionary again. Run temp root again. You might get the “device already rooted” notification, this does not matter, what you are doing is locking in root.
Go back and open up your terminal emulator once more time and request root by typing “su”
Once you get the #, type “sync” wait about three minutes and reboot.
You should have permanent root with the security off (S-off), to check : With the phone off, hold down volume down and power to open Hboot. The top line of the screen should have “S-off” at the end.

I wanna try this step soooo bad but i'm scared ****less I brick my fone. Considering I only got it for just 2 days now.
I did the terminal process with terminal emulator 4 times & whenever I bash the root.sh file, the wpx.ko gives me trouble. Did it this morning @ 4am so I cant quite remember the exact statement it came back with

That means that the adb binary isn't in the folder you are working from. Either the binary is missing, our you are in the wrong folder with you command prompt.

Ok so lemme just recap what I did to see where I went wrong. I downloaded the SDK, installed the platform-tools folder, then hold shift same time as I click on the tools folder, select open command winder here & started to type in the prompt. So Now which file is the adb binary?? Maybe I can try & see if I somehow moved or removed it

Thats the first method I tried and it didnt work. I got that wpx.ho isn't recognized or something like that & 1024 in, 1024 out yada yada. I've noticed ppl say that its regular to get that back but I've dont it like 5 times & whenever i boot into hboot, I'm still seeing 'S-ON'

I got the wpx error, which is why I searched a bit more, and then used the method I posted earlier...
To help with the cmd prompt, down load this file, and place it in the same folder that the adb binary is in (it's a file, named adb). Double click this file, and it silk open a prompt in that folder...

I had no trouble with my previously posted root, however I have read that some people had to place the files in the root of the SDCard (and change the commands accordingly of course) to get it to work.

There are 4 or 5 complete guides in the development section. Just read through them all and pick the one you're most comfortable with. With the scripts provided it makes it pretty safe.
I've rooted 4 phones with no issues.

I need help with roms

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

Yeah if you want you can use terminal emulator on your phone just open it up hit su get your super user permissions then start the commands the first time I rooted I did it using adb the second time I rooted I lost my adb and just chrome to phoned all the codes from my pc to root it from my phone

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

Try the hack kit. Its faster and smoother
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App

Make sure your antivirus on your computer is disabled and downloaded either the hack kit or one click again and start at the point after the gold card.

Ok should i do a reformat on my sdcard ill just restart from scratch. with the hack kit i dont understand the gfree_02 part i put it on the sd card but do i leave it zipped or unzip it and how do i type it into the command line. i shift right click it and open with command line but im not sure what i type in Code: adb push...
Thanks. Im so close. I had problems where i could never get my CID on my PC but i have a new laptop and it so far has worked great must be something to do with vista

[Q] Noob trying to root

I downloaded the hack kit but for some reason I'm stuck trying to set
hack-ace.cmd as administrator. When I try it says error I have no clue on what Im doing but Im willing to learn any help would great.

If you are using Vista or 7, are you right clicking on the .exe file and selecting "Run as administrator"?

im a noob so let me tell you how i d/l it. D/L it was winrar file and i extracted but i can not get run admin when i right click also on vista.

The hack kit should just be a zip file, which you could double click on it and extract all. Once extracted you will see the hack ace command script file and the effen manual. Open the effen manual and read it a few times. It is very easy but you will familiarize yourself with the procedure. You can uninstall HTC sync after you have installed it. You just need the USB drivers. The manual will explain this. You should be able to right click on the hack ace command script and select run as administrator. Then follow along with the manual and the on screen prompts.

thanks for the help now for some reason cant get a gold card

Try formatting your card, fat32. You will lose all data so back up first. There should be information in the manual.

if after you format to fat32 like wolf said and you still cant make your goldcard, use bubby's guide to make the goldcard and then use the hackkit to do the root.

I tried to go to psas.revskills.de site to make my goldcard but cannot access from firefox or I/E did anybody have the same problem. Is there something ive done wrong firewalls are turned off but still no go.
