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.

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

I'm trying to perm root my mytouch 4g using Visionary
I have android 2.2.1 and have successfully temp rooted using Visionary
I download the root folder from HERE
I put them in the root of the SD card and open up Terminal Emulator and type in
su
cd /sdcard/root
sh root.sh
when I type the first line (su) I get the # and am told that Terminal Emulator has been granted superuser permissions.
when I type in the second line (cd /sdcard/root) I get this message
cd: can't cd to /sdcard/root
What could be causing this?
Thanks
Jonathan
The "cd" command is a "change directory" command, and there is no directory called "root" on your SD card, because either you haven't unzipped what you downloaded, or you unzipped it in the wrong place.
Unzipping what you downloaded creates a directory (or a "folder", if you're a Windows user) called "root" that has several files in it -- a kernel module and a script, if I remember correctly. The script loads the kernel module and makes a call to it in order to set S Off.
thank you much, I think I figured out the problem. I'll try again later and see what happens. I'll post back with the results later. Thanks again!
Jonathan
NOTE: Ok, I can now run through the
su
cd /sdcard/root
sh root.sh
commands but when it's done and I check for s-off I don't have it (I still have s-on)
I've tried this twice to no avail. any advise?
i am having the same problem. i've tried this method about 15 times, mostly with visionary r14, but also a couple times with r11. i have also tried the gfree method a couple times as well via the semi-automated method. no s=off!
i have a new MT4G direct from phone upgrade order. i've read of others who have rooted the MT4G before multiple times, but can't do it now with a new phone. i'm wondering if it's something HTC has changed with the newest releases.....

HTC was going to install a measure that would prevent "rage methods" from working on their phones. How ever, none of the tech blogs are reporting that this has been rolled out. So i doubt that is the case.
make sure the its set up as sdcard/root. If you've just extracted the folder and copied the extraction to the sdcard it's not set properly.

nope you would start @ number 1.
you need to download those files and check the MD5SUM of every download load. the files need to be PERFECT for it to work correctly.
and i cannot stress enough. take your time and read directions. Read through the list a few times and make sure you have a good understanding of what you are doing. Doing that wrong can make your phone an expensive paper weight.
instead of pushing stuff to the "SDK tools folder" you store it to the ADB folder TrueBlue had you create in his walkthrough. And make sure to change your target folder to "c:\adb".
and remember you are choosing to do this. so if you screw it up. it's on your shoulders not mine.

The way this phone is made it's going to be pretty difficult to write a "one click s=off" program.
If you are wanting the benefits of being rooted you can always use VISIONary.apk when you need the root features like AD-HOC tethering or Screen Shots.

not really. As soon as you reboot they'll pop right back up.
ok thanks.
Two things.
1. I've decided to put off perm rooting until I can understand adb and use it properly. No need to rush, I've got time.
2. Is it true that given time, effort, and ingenuity there really isn't such a thing as a bricked phone? It can always be recovered, it's just a question of how far you have to go to do it?
I've read around a lot and though I've heard many people talk of bricking their phone, it seems like many say that if you can use things like adb commands you can pretty well fix any issue, it's just difficult.
Like I was saying in point 1, I'm newer to all this and I'm learning so thanks for answering!

At minimum, I believe the phone requires a functioning bootloader in order to be able to connect via USB to fastboot.
Any update on this? I also just got a mytouch 4g yesterday and am trying to root it. Is it possible right now?
Root the mt4g
Friend, I used the adb method here on xda, after I got the forked childs msg, and restart terminal w/e, make sue to pull out battery. Restart, the LAST THING I DID WAS USE VISIONARY r14, to attempt permroot, took me a week before I figured out to try this, the guide said phone would be rooted after terminal commands went through. So, to recap if u entered everything correctly, (my avg protection was telling me my phone was rooted for a week after I pushed gfree using the adb method but had no s-off, tried visionary permroot, BINGO!) THANKS TO ALL THE HARD WORK/GUIDES ON XDA, using ICE GLACIER ROM, titanium backup, rom manager, root explorer, my internet security (ad free web) set cpu, cache cleaner ng, drocap, couldn't get barnacle to work, the tethering on board works fine. Quadrant standard for benchmarking.
My wifes mt4g arrived today, and I had it perm rooted, with s-off in about 20 minutes, following this guide from the wiki:

dude this method is great especially if your a noob or cant use adb for whatever reason just use visionary for temp root and then using root explorer move the gfree file to data>local then open terminal emulator and follow the instructions that gives you s-off and allows you to use visionary to permaroot when you reboot and then rommanager it now supports 3.xx so you can flash gingerroms just be careful and have fun
i have done this
1. Download the root.rar file and unzip it to /sdcard on your device.
2. Run VISIONary to gain temp root.
Terminal Emulator Method
3a. Start terminal emulator up on your device.(I prefer this method b/c you can see the output.)
a. type "su" + enter to gain root privileges.
b. Type "cd /sdcard/root" + enter.
c. Type "sh root.sh" + enter.
d. Follow the on screen prompts. (just says to reboot device to check for soff)
10 times now, and no s=off. followed exactly every time.
any ideas? yes ota upgrade was done

firts of all i would like to tell u, the method is applied only for 2.2.1v and not for 2.2v
Follow the guidelines, i have given much time on the experiments and finally i could perm root my phone.
1. download the file named- PD15IMG (google for the file) and save it on the sd card.
2. go to recovery mode and install it on mytouc 4g
3. and then u will be on 2.2.1v, after the installation complete go ahead as per the visionary and emulater method u followed earlier.
ITS OK, YOUR PHONE WILL BE ROOTED PERMANENTLY.
If success reply me on [email protected]

thats a waste of time. He already is on 2.2.1.
Just follow gfree method. I've been considering removing the link to the other one as it almost never works.
Now now it may not be...when I am in the bootloader the phone looks for some Phshs15.img file or whatever its called, then it says something about failed or not found. Then if I look in the phone I am on 221 which is post update. Unless it never actually got updated properly somehow.
I'm wondering if bootloader does not have that img file mentioned to properly do whatever its supposed to do and rooting fails?
Keep throwing ideas, the phone is not mine so I don't have it with me to experiment on at all times. But ill use all collective ideas here next time I have it.
I'm not a total noob about this, I rooted my mt4g within minutes, and 2 G2 phones....so its not the directions that are bad, its something with that specific device that its not working right.

I was using r14, but it was temp rooting. The issue tho is that the temp root and the term commands on phone did not stick. Ill give gfree a shot when I'm near that phone again. I hate adb tho.

A Stable CM7 posted this jibberish
Never rooted before. Want to. Thinking kernels one click is the best route.
Help me get through it please. What should I install download and on what order. Thank you so much
Any rooting method will involve you using ADB so to start you should download that.
Eclipse (Not 100% sure if this is needed for the use of ADB or anything but its always a nifty program to have)
AndroidSDK - This is needed to download ADB on your computer.
Then just follow Capts instructions in the script you can find here.
Check the first part of the instructions tho that read "If the above number ends in 605.6 or 605.9 then you can root". If your phone doesn't meet this requirement than I would suggest using JCase's method.
Thanks....ok do I put those on my PHONE or on my PC?
Those are all programs for your computer. The only thing you will be putting on your phone during the root process are the 2 different RUU's you download. Well, there are some other files but you will be pushing those to the phone via ADB.
Check out this guide on using ADB, I am making an assumption that you are using Windows.
Exploits.zip with contents extracted to your ADB dir
PG05IMG.zip
Downgrade RUU
This is where Im confused...and I apologize for my ineptitude on the subject in advance. I have the correct firmware(.6) I have downloaded ADB(its currently updating a bunch of things)
I can see where you may be confused, the download link that Capt had for all his files seems to be broken. It may be beneficial for you to use JCase's method found here instead. Based on the MD5 sums for the files of both methods they are different so I dont recommend using JCase's files for Capts' method.
It might seem a little more overwhelming at first but its easier than it looks and you will get a feel for the process more.
I must be in over my head here.
It's not as difficult as it seems. Make sure you have sdk tools setup properly & your computer can see your phone (adb list devices), read the root instructions 2-3 times, then you'll be ready to take the plunge. Good luck & post any questions you have, there are lots of ppl around to help.

Hey guys. I recently rooted my dad's old Droid 2 and installed CM9 on it. I decided now to try rooting my phone so I can use the microSD card slot as extra RAM.
I have looked around, and I cannot seem to find any way to root the Droid Razr HD. From the specs listed in the title, is there any known way to root this device?
