[/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 tried everything from this website and nothing was working... Idk why but it was very frustrating... I came along this video and I did it on my first try. I thought I should share this tut
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyELJRy4rhE
Go down to TheUnlockr they have video walkthough step by step to obtain tempROOT (Visionary) and then permROOT (root.sh) just follow it as its more easier than the video you posted.

Really?
1a) download and install VISIONary.
1b) download and install Terminal Emulator
2) download and unzip the root folder
3) store the root folder on the SDCard
4) Temp Root / making sure set system to R/W and run Visionary.sh are checked
5) go to terminal emulator and type

I had mine Rooted before i left the T-Mobile Store. True Story. I didn't have the Engineering Screen flashed but i did have it s=off prior to walking out of the door.
I had to use a different method that involved pushing files threw adb.. since the method that was all about temp enabling root and using the terminal emulator was useless

HKM said:
If you don't want to do it manually then you can do it easily via FileExp go use Astro or Root Explorer. From what you are saying I have my money on you didn't properly do TempROOT. I say go do TempROOT again then try what I suggested for PermROOT.
UPDATE: Here I found you Youtube videos how to do step by step.
tempROOT> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gylaXOCNzqU
permROOT> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy_aqKoeev4
Use the howto from Theunlockr video posted above it maybe easier for you to follow.
Well since you are up to the PermROOT I take it you have TempROOT, if so as you saying you have root.sh in root dir inside /sdcard so it would look like /sdcard/root/root.sh for the absolute path. Also you have console right? If not go download Terminal Emulator. Then type in "su" and press enter SU=Super User or @wheel,root permission base. Then use "cd /sdcard/root" press enter CD = Change Directory. Then do "sh root.sh" and press enter as sh is shall execute command. So it would look like this below:
su
cd /sdcard/root
sh root.sh
Now just do restart and make sure you have S=OFF as you will see it on top in HBoot screen. When you are back on go open Visionary+ and unclick TempROOT on boot and click TempROOT now. Then look below and click on Attempt PermROOT Now.

I wanted to do it in the store so that way if something went AWOL i could hand the phone back over and say "hey something is jacked with this phone, you need to get me a different one".
I just stored VISIONary on my SD card in the .apk format, and the folder on my SD card and swapped it. As he was punching everything in i installed astro, then Visionary, and terminal emulator and turned s=off. Once it was good i walked out....

1) are you extracting and storing just the root folder to the SD card
and
2a) are you putting a space between the "d" and the "/".
2b) are you putting a space between the "h" and the "r".
it should look like this
$ su
# cd /root/sdcard
# sh root.sh
Click to expand...

if you just type cd/sdcard/root or shroot.sh it will not work.
======
edit
you also have "change /system to r/w" for it to work properly.
As neidlinger stated you have to correctly type it in. But I came across people who does not understand root which is your direct absolute path in this case "/sdcard" now if you got confused with root folder and created new dir then its "/sdcard/root" which makes no diff as you can do it still.

mkdir /sdcard/root

^ this is not even needed but if you created /root folder inside /sdcard then you have to use it. Normally it makes no diff as you can use CD command to switch between it but people who don't understand console find it confusing.
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

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.

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

I have adb set up correctly and drivers installed. When I use command prompt on Windows 7 64 bit and type in "adb devices" it lists a string of letters/numbers and after that it says device. When I type in adb push rage /sdcard/ the command prompt moves the cursor to a new blank line and I can't type anything in. Is this normal? Phone is HTC EVO shift 4G running stock 2.3.3 and HTC sense 2.1. Again comp OS is Windows 7 64 bit. Yes the rage file is in the /platform-tools folder. Any ideas on if this is normal/alternative rooting methods (excluding ShiftRR and other comp programs. I checked them all. No apps either. They don't work, I've tried them all.) If it helps I'm following the guide at: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Evo_Shift_4G:_Full_Update_Guide
1) Rage doesnt work on 2.3.3, it was a froyo exploit. I suggest either using the script I made to automatically do it for you if you want or you can do it manually.
2) The auto root method that I created is located at the link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277793
3) Manual method is in general section.
Thanks bunches. I'm going to try your script next time I try. I'm usually kinda busy. And does your script need any additional files? This is gonna sound like a n00b question but it's because I AM a n00b. What the heck is RUU? It sounds like an EXE file I dl on my comp and run. Correct or not? Sorry if this has been asked anywhere else but I have been searching since August trying to find a rooting method and now that one is close I'm impatient.
It includes everything you need. Just extract everything to a single folder then run Fre3atlast.bat
An RUU is an official way to "update" firmware on your phone in either PG06IMG.zip or .exe format so you were correct. The script even gives you a link to download the format of your choice.

No there is currently no one touch root tool for the shifts that are on 2.3.3 because you have to physically push an image to misc.partition, but once you get it downgraged then you can use like ShiftRR and let that root for you,hit up the stickie section for all the info needed

His script will temp root and push the exploit allowing you to use the RUU which will downgrade to Froyo. Once you run the RUU use either the CM wiki or use THIS guide to root.

Ok, so my phone got an OTA update, and I updated. Then I went to downloads, and redownloaded it. Is it still signed? If it is, is there any way I can use that to root my phone? I can upload the file to 4shared if need be.
1) until you can verify that you can root again after taking an OTA, you NEVER update. 2) Just try and run the script again, then try to downgrade.
1: I thought it was ICS
2: I mean modify the OTA update zip file.
I found less detailed guide on rootzwiki created by birdman, but i decided to repost it here in more detail.
* Disclaimer: I do not take any responsibility for anything you do to your phone, whether be brick, break, or somehow mess it up.
Requirements
1. You must have the sdk installed and you are able to access, and use adb and fastboot.
2. You must have debugging enabled on your Nexus 7.
3. Download Su here (Chainfire's thread for supersu) (Thanks Eric_Eric_Eric)
4. Download CWM here. Scroll down to Nexus 7 and choose whether touch or regular.
Pre-Steps
To make this easier, you should put the su zip on the sdcard for later.
1. In terminal, cd to the directory you have your sdk in. Then cd into platform-tools.
2. Type adb push path-to-zip/JB-SuperSU.zip /sdcard
Unlocking Your Nexus 7
To unlock your device
1. cd to platform-tools
2. Reboot to the bootloader - adb reboot bootloader
3. Unlock your device* -
fastboot oem unlock *You will have to accept and erase all the user data on the tablet.
*You must run this as sudo in Linux
Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery
(You're still inside the bootloader)
4. Flash CWM -
fastboot flash recovery path-to-img/CWM-grouper-recovery.img5. Make CWM Permanent -
1. Boot into recovery2. Go to Mounts and Storage3. Mount /System4. Type in Terminal*adb shell
cd /system
mv recovery-from-boot.p recovery-from-boot.bak
If your having trouble gaining shell, try "adb kill-server" then "abd start-server". Couple of my friends had this problem, and this should hopefully fix it.
* For some people, it has been reported that you don't have to replace recovery-from-boot.bak. The flash is enough to make the recovery stick.
Flash Su
1. Go back by pressing power button2. Install the zip in the sdcard
Reboot and your device is now rooted!!
For anybody having trouble trying to use fastboot and come up with a no-permissions error or adb ????????? problem, I created a guide to fix the problem here: [GUIDE]Fix Fastboot and USB

What he wrote about pushing SU to /sdcard is correct. I have a Transformer Prime and ASUS called the internal storage /sdcard, which is a little counter intuitive. I presume the same situation exists with the Nexus 7.

But an answer, again, no, there isn't. You need to download the sdk, and install the tools. then just cd to platform-tools, and use adb like i said. If your in windows, use adb.exe then the arguments, but if your in linux, just use ./adb. Same thing with fastboot.

Ya, that's me trying to write it while trying to take notes during a seminar at IO haha
But ya, I'm working on it right now.
I'm new to the tablet, so this maybe a silly question, but is it possible to use 4ext for recovery instead of CWM? I like the 4ext a lot more for my HTC Glacier.
what would unlocking do? isnt that for phones so you can put other simcards??

It is technically "unlocking the boot loader" but unlocking was short and sweet for the title.
