I perm-rooted my MyTouch 4G using Visionary Plus R14 and everything went smoothly until I tried flashing CyanogenMod 7.0.3 Stable Mod and the Google Apps, I did everything manually and it said that both of them installed and so I rebooted the phone. When the phone finally rebooted, the MyTouch 4G booted up as if it just recieved a factory rest. I just went along with it and set everything up and it seemed as if the installation failed or something, but once everything got set up, Visionary, the Rom Manager, Superuser, and my file manager (Astro), was all missing. I decided to try and root it again but when I tried to go download the file manager again, I couldn't find the Android Market. I did a factory reset 3 times and it still wouldn't pop up. What happened to it and what do I do to fix it??
Sometimes the visionary method doesn't stick...there have been alot of issues with that lately. Have you booted up into Hboot to see if you have s=off? If the visionary method didn't work, I recommend using the g-free method to root it. All of this information can be found under the HTC Glacier (MT4G) forums.

i´m not fully understand but i want to ask to you if you do FACT. RESET before flashing the rom or after...
correct mode is before because u are going to lose gapps if do it after flashing cianogenmod...
and of course when you flashes another rom you´re going to lose all your old apk´s... you need to reinstall it...
maybe i´m not understanded you.. if its like this sorry... if not well
Download Market.apk and install it. you can google it or you can check out the link in your private inbox

Yes, I did do hboot and it did say S-Off. And I never heard of the g-free method, I'll look that up and try to root it that way. Thanks!
Did you flash Clockwork Mod with ROM manager? Did you wipe before flashing? If it says S=off, you should be good to go, and you should consider flashing the engineering bootloader.

Yepp, I flashed Clockwork Mod. I did everything in the how to Temp Root the MyTouch 4G video, How to Perm Root the MyTouch 4G video and the how to Flash a custom rom to the MyTouch 4G video from the unlockr.
Here is a cool transparent one if you want it. Just install it with a file manager.

I have been researching how to root my inspire for the last couple days and finally went ahead and tried it. Here is my problem. I used bubby's (I apologize if i messed up his name) tool and everything seemed to be going great until I got to the part near the end of the video where it says that it will flash the rom with superloader etc. in it. It then just hangs for a while and nothing happens. The phone will now make calls,text but with no sound on my end. It seems to me that I now have a desire HD. Where do i go from here? Thank you in advance.

download rom manager from market, flash recovery, download a rom, then flash the rom through recovery.
thank you guys for your quick response. I installed Rom Manager but it says that I do not have root. When using the tool I know that it did say my phone had s-off. Is that temporary ?
did you run the rage command from terminal emulator?
i did. It all seemed to work until the point where it says it will flash the cooked rom with busybox,superuser etc. then it just doesn't seem to find it or something. it sits in the fastloader screen with the bootloader option highlighted. how long should that take ?
It can take a while, just to make it easier for you, run the ruu to get back to stock (will still have s-off) then run the rooting process again, you can also try the hack kit as well.
There is a link to the ruu in the guide. You will not have to s-on.
At this point since your rom is downgraded instead of flashing back to stock you could download visionary from the desire hd forum and root that way.
Its up to you.
ok. I downloaded visionary a few minutes ago thinking i may need it. I will try that now. thank you both for the help.

visionary will root your phone, from there you will have to flash a rom via clock work mod recovery, which you can flash with rom manager.
If you need help flashing a rom check out my guide that is stickied.
will do. hope it works.
i got one more question. Is there a way to install superuser? when i try to go into ROM manager it says "you must ROOT your phone for ROM manager to function superuser was not found"

down load this pd98img, place it on your sd card, boot into hboot and flash via the boot loader.
using that file you linked to worked! I think the one I had was corrupted or something.(I don't even know what that means) . thanks again man! I know to you it was probably nothing, but you just saved me a ton of headache. I was freaking out ! I'm gonna live in these forums for the next few weeks. Android is the fuzzy neagle!
My inspire is on the loop of android screen at the startup when i restarted my phone after doing the factory reset.
any idea what shud i do???
I need some help either getting root restored or getting CWM back. I rooted my G2X using the SuperOneClick method, did a nandroid backup of the original ROM, and then installed a CM7.1 nightly. After doing so, I found out that I no longer have root (or that the su binaries are corrupt) and there are a ton of issues with the currently CM7.1 nightly ROMs. I really just want to get back to the stock ROM that I have a nandroid of. When I do actually get to the Android Recovery screen, it sits at "Formatting MISC:..." and I can't select any other options (not sure what that's all about). I have tried rooting again, but I get errors saying things like "chmod: no such tool".
Does anyone know another way to get into CWM, know how to restore root, or have an alternative to restore a nandroid backup?
I had the same problem when updating from virtuous vision (froyo) to virtuous visioin unity. 2hat solved the issue for me was uninstalling SU and reinstalling it from the market.
Not shure if this'll solve it for you though.

Yup, nvflash CWM is your best bet at this point. Disregard the titanium suggestion.
Same exact thing happened to me. ROM Manager says I have CWM 3.0.2.7 current, but I can't reboot into recovery, restore any backups, fix permissions, etc. I noticed it when I tried to re-flash CM7 nightly #37 because my wifi was stuck at "obtaining IP address" and I was getting 3 or 4 force close notifications at startup. Installed root check and it said "root access is not properly configured or was not granted. SU binary not found in the system declared PATH."
Going to try nvflash CWM and go from there. Hoping to get this beast running proper!

People just need to stop tinkering with their phone's software if they don't know what they're doing. They screw something up and come crying back here for help. Now, I know we were all 'noobs' at one point... But at least put the effort into reading up on details and be at least 90% certain you know what to do, before you eff anything up. Seriously guys. We can help, but you shouldn't be doing this sort of stuff if you aren't up for it yet!
I know all of us, the more seasoned geeks, have had multiple android devices so we know our way around. And we were in the same boat as you once too... Learning the basics and all that. But don't be flashing roms and/or kernels if you don't know what adb is. #justsaying.
Now, for your problem. I'm not even sure if you used NVFlash to flash a recovery. And if your getting weird errors while booting into recovery, flash it again. Once in recovery all you have to do is restore your back up, simple as that. There's no need to flash other roms. Now, if you used ROM Manager to flash your recovery... Then your nandroid is probably stored on your internal SD. And if you have an external SD recovery then you can't get at it. Maybe I missed something but I'm not sure if that's even the problem. But there is a stock/rooted nandroid here in the dev section, copy that to the proper location on your external SD and proceed to restore that.
Try that first before you flash anything, It seems most logical to me at least
I found these instructions on using nvflash to reflash CWM recovery (link below). It worked like a charm for me- but I had a backup from just after I rooted. After restoring it to original (rooted), I wiped and reflashed the latest CM7 nightly #61 with gapps. You can probably just flash the latest nightly instead of going back to original like I did.

In preparation for some decent ROMs coming out I went ahead and rooted and S=off'ed my MT4GS.
Just as a note to anyone who is interested in using the beta root or perhaps for anyone else who has had these problems or can fix them:
-The first issue I've been having is a momentary freeze while downloading/installing Android market apps. This is the sort of thing which I can wait out for about 30 seconds and I'm back to normal.
-The second is the inability to press the end call button unless I first lock the screen and unlock it again. I have not tested waiting this one out though.
Anyone else having any of this happening? Or anything else?
The only thing I've done is S=off and root. No custom ROM or anything yet.
I'm not seeing that. I used the beta tool to S-OFF, flashed 4009 recovery manually, then flashed latest superuser. All I've done is delete a bunch of bull**** apps from /system.
I can end the call perfectly from the in-call screen, as well as by swiping down the notification shade and tapping the End-Call button. Market downloads always go instantly for me, too.
No problems with the market.
Haven't made any calls with the phone yet, just one when I first got it to test that it worked.
I S-OFF'ed with rev 4pre3, CWM install through rev then upgrade to 4.0.0.9 MoDaCo - SU, Busybox...
Thanks for the quick feedback guys. I will try and see what I can do, I guess starting with a master reset and seeing where it goes from there to solving my problem.
I get the market hang-up as well, running doubleshot v0.5

you have to download and flash the superuser.zip to obtain root
I recently followed these instructions to get CM7 on my Evo Shift:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Evo_Shift_4G:_Full_Update_Guide
I had to do the 2.2 downgrade by following this guide, including the temp root linked in the instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255474
When I had that set up, I downloaded ROM Manager and made a recovery image. Installed CM7. Everything worked great, except for some wonkiness with Google Voice. I found an ICS rom that looked interesting, but being a total newbie had no idea how to switch to something new. So, I loaded my recovery image thinking this is the closest thing to starting from scratch. However, after I did that superuser was no longer on my phone and I couldn't get temp root like I previously could. I consistently got this message:
"an error occurred running the exploit (-1) (errno: 25)"
If I can't temproot, I can't put superuser back on my phone. Is there another way to root my phone? Did I do something phenomenally stupid? Any advice for switching between roms? I apologize for my inexperience; I just started rooting a week ago.
Thank you for your patience!!

thank you! I decided to go back to stock and try all over again. I will definitely use this flash guide.
If your going to RUU back to 2.2 , you can use THIS to regain ROOT.
hi all, i am a novice at all this stuff, and i am sorry for posting probably a similar thread to what others may have said but my problem is a little different. i am having a problem with my wifes att network htc inspire 4g. i rooted it last year with the ace hack kit. the problem is that it is stuck in ace hack kit clock work recovery. it will not start up at all unless it is attched to the computer, and thats when it will go to cw recovery. it will vibrate 3 times and blink a red led and the screen goes blank unless i press the volume down button but it doesnt stay lit up only when i hit the vol down button. then when i hit an option by hitting the power button the phone resets to cw recovery again. if i try to acess hboot, it vibrates 5 times and lights up yellow. i have tried wiping, formatting, and everything but reboot to cw recovery again. from the posts that i have read similar to this problem, everyone says to get another rom and flash from hboot. being that i cant get to hboot any other ideas.

If you wiped and formatted, then you've probably erased whatever ROM you did have. At this point I'd probably use the ACE Hack Kit again, using the option to return everything to stock.... then use it again to re-root the phone. Then I'd install 4ext Recovery instead of CW. Then use 4ext to flash another ROM. I'd recommend Ice Cold Sandwich, found in the DHD development forum.

That's probably what happened. If she didnt iniate it then it probably auto updated. She's not to technical about that stuff she probably ly was hitting button's like she does. Any ideas on what to do from here. I could probably get a older romantic for it but the way it is now I can't flash it.
Best guess is to flash a ruu.
Try uninstalling the htc drivers (if you have them) and install them again to see if the computer recognizes the cell.
