It gives you temp root on the Legend, doubt it will give permaroot, but I'll try that in a bit and report back. (r11 wasn't recognised by my phone as a valid APK).
Just tried it on mine,gives only temporary root.
Yeah it won't permaroot because of the NAND lock, I was just being optimistic
Temproot on reboot is enough for me as I like Sense.
I hope this will work with official Froyo! I don't need root all the time, just for some modification like editing wpa_supplicant.conf. Awesome!!
I just tried it yesterday and permaroot worked just fine for me. I rebooted the phone several times to make sure and superuser is still there and I have root access with my file manager.
But I used VISIONary r13, maybe that made the difference? r11 didn't work on my phone either.

Was that on a Legend or Desire?
I only ask as your sig says you are using a Desire.
I've used r13 (available on page 7) and don't get permaroot.

Nope on my legend, I have both phones. I'm using the desire right now because I'm still looking for a way to flash a custom recovery on the legend now that its rooted.
I used r13 and did a temproot first then used permaroot while still in temproot. Maybe that did the trick? Also my legend is unbranded and unlocked. I can post the HBOOT and Radio versions too if you want.

I shut it down and put my watch next to it while was booting so you can see I didn't have time to re-root.

Yes would be nice as im not getting permroot from r13 either
EDIT: Thing is superuser just sits there after trying to attemp to perm root. but while trying to get rom manager to run it still warns me that the device isnt rooted this after doing

Temp root
Then download rom manager
Perform clockwork recovery in rom manager
Go back to r13 and do perm root
After phone reboots should be rooted but it aint.

I haven't tried Rom manager yet but I used a file explorer to access the root folders just to check if its still rooted or not and it worked.

Jay , i'm just as far as you are at the moment. The question u asked is exactly the same question you asked at paul's thread. I was just refering to what i did after following the post previously to your question on paul's thread.
And the "what do you mean perform clockwork recovery in rom manager" question i mainly flashed clockwork recovery onto the legend.
Lets wait for Falcon to post his vids im really curious if he really got perm.
or just clicked the temp root on boot option etc.
ah right, got ya! I might flash the unbranded ROM (also so when the OEM FroYo is released I get it sooner than the Vodafone bastardised version) and try again... just going to be a PITA installing all my apps and setting my phone up as I like it lol
gah you guys jinxed my phone :[
i don't have market on my Legend so it took a while to get terminal emulator and Rom manager and have them installed. neither of them worked. i guess its back to square one for me.
and yes i was using the stock shipped Rom that came with the phone, software number 1.27.466.5
i'm gonna uninstall VISIONary and Superuser and try again
Any update guys? is the permanent One click root on Legend available by any methods?

Ok so awhile back I downloaded and installed a leaked 2.2 version for the epic and its been ok just tired of it, but now when trying to go to a different rom nothing works, clockwork has always givin me some issues on this phone an on m old one that got replaced for bad proximity sensors.
What am I doing wrong? I tried the rom manager method of getting clockwork's mod to work but nothing, tried re flashing the recovory image and that failed for some read only issue now that I've never seen before and is clockworks mod supposed to stick cause the one time I got it to work so I could install this rom (which sucks) after I was it never worked again? This is just really annoying for me since I never have had issues in the past with rom installed htc was easier the g1 and hero where do damn easy what is with this epic crap not doing what I want it to do?

Have you tried the one click method for root and clockwork? You need to have the samsung drivers installed and you have to get another usb cable. The one that comes with the epic is only good for charging.

Yea I've tried that and sometimes it works andsometimes it fails, last night I was failing saying "read-only file system" and would not finish the img flash.

It is very easy to install ROM's on the Epic... So i'm thinking you're doing something wrong.
Are you sure you have clockwork installed and NOT stock? Back when I first started working with the Epic (Rooting & Flashing) I had problems figuring out what clockwork really was.. Clockwork is GREEN & Stock is BLUE.
Also another thing I did was unrooted and then rooted using the latest One Click Root W/ Clockwork, after that everything seemed to work fine. IF I am correct, the ROM Manager Clockwork does not work for the Epic? Well at least it never worked for mine.

Try going to adb and type this: adb shell. Once the shell pops up enter "su" and then this command: mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
If you get an error, you aren't rooted.
Or alternatively, adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

Lol kk so this should work then ill try when I get home.
Is clockwork suppsed to stick though? So that ny time I boot into recovery it should be there, that's wat I thought should happen with changing the recovery image but it never stuck and won't load.
If that command doesn't change anything ill take a video and show what happpens when trying to chage the rom's, I can't be the only person having the problem.....

Does the su command work? If not then agan, you aren't rooted. You will know because the $ sign will change to #. Try running the one click root method again, specifically the 2.5 version that contains root and cwm. I don't understand how you can't be rooted though with a custom ROM. Somehow something isn't working, maybe the mount script is corrupt but who knows. I suggest odin back to stock DK28 and root and cwm from there with the newest one-click. Let me know if that helps, also feel free to pm me if you need specifics

Hi the ROM has nothing to do about it maybe i think could be a problem with the clockwork mode version but everybody should have it updated.
There is a file with .Md5 extension that is in charge of the only 1 validation of the original file(.img files), if any of these files has been corrupted then the validation will fail.
MD5 data is created by a algorithm that examines the original file and creates a short(-ish) checksum data string out of the original file's characteristics​
And the validation of what im saying is that we can go back to past ROMS with any problem

I dunno. It might work. But as I said before, I have found that you need to use Tenfar's ClockWork Mod Recovery to flash this. I tried it with the one that comes with ROM Manager, and it didn't work. If you are going to try to wipe with fastboot, also try putting tenfar's CWM on, and then re-flash.

Hi all, I have searched and followed all the guides I could search here and still not able to recover my semi-bricked G2.
It happens when I was trying to downgrade it and temp-root/root. The semi-brick took place at the first time rebooting after all the procedure.

Please show me some light.

Thanks for the advice.
I did try to boot into recovery from the above screen but it stays in the white HTC screen forever and does nothing.
Is there some files that I will need to put into my SD card to do this recovery step?
I would get a stock rom or RUU and stick it onto your SDcard. Whatever you try to flash must be call PC10IMG.zip.
Here's all the stock roms for this phone. Not sure if you can rename .exe files to .zip.

Thanks.
So after I have the stock rom file inside the SD card, I choose "Recover" from the above screen to load it up?
it looks like the recovery flash didn't work is all, before going about with the ruu try fastboot, if it let's you...
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
works the same as you did with the adb commands.
get the recovery image in the same folder as fastboot.exe (probably sdk platform-tools) open a cmd there, have phone in fastboot mode and type
fastboot devices
in the cmd window, if you see yours then all is good and flash the recovery (oh and make sure the image is named recovery.img)

it looks like the recovery flash didn't work is all, before going about with the ruu try fastboot, if it let's you...
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
works the same as you did with the adb commands.
get the recovery image in the same folder as fastboot.exe (probably sdk platform-tools) open a cmd there, have phone in fastboot mode and type

Ok, here is what I have now.
Then, on my phone, I pick "recovery" then power-button to choose it.
The screen then changed to the recovery loading screen. Then it reboot itself and go back to the white HTC screen and stuck there again.
Do you know what else I could try?
I have tested all the rom for Tmobile on that page and none of them work. All recovery process end up with the red triangle and exclamation mark on the screen but nothing else.:crying:
Is there anything I can try?
things are looking bad sorry to say but I do still think you have a chance
log on to freenode (there is a link in the xda vision wiki)
here you can get real time help

Hi it took me w days to find out that you can select the options like
Recovery only with the. Qwery keyboard. Try shift for move the cursor and enter
For select item.
I hope this will help.
I think all of my problem was caused by a faulty micro-SD card. Turns out the micro SD-card I have been using was corrupted.
After I replaced it with a new card, everything is running ok and I am able to do a recovery.
Guess I will have to try everything from the start again.
Thanks for all the advice and helps guys!!!
So the recovery went smoothly after doing so with a new SD card and my G2 is now installed with Android version 2.3.4
-Baseband version: 12.52.60.25U_26.08.04.30_M3
-Kernel version: 2.6.35.10-g96de068
-Build Number: 2.15.531.3 CL82286 release-keys
What will be the correct guide to root+S-off for this system then?
use the xda wiki or the cyanogen one. if you can't find it just google "cyanogen root wiki htc g2" or "xda wiki root vision"

Thanks! Yeah, that's why one I've just used.
I think my G2 now has perm-root and S-off.
Now trying to find a good rom with Sense on it.

the guide to do that with the "adb" is simply GREAT.
most sense roms are unbarably slow to me so my only suggestion is to try an earlier "lite" sense rom. but ever user has his/her own taste so flash away...

Thanks for the suggestion.
One more question though.
From this page here: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision
I see there are some stock Desire-Z roms from Hong Kong.
Let say if I have the Desire-Z hboot on my G2 and I flash my G2 with one of those HK Desire-Z roms, will I still be able to use T-Mobile 3G radio band on my G2? Or will my flashed G2 will then be only able to use those radio bands for the Asia market only?
well you should be ok, but you will have to pull out the radio and recovery and hboot out of those pc10.imgs
I would suggest to stay away from any stock roms for now, go to the development thread here in the g2 forum and look for the 3rd or 4th sticky, should be a compalation of most of the newer roms for the vision, here you will find them catogorized for ease if you want to try a bunch of sense roms they're all right there
happy flashing!

Oh, I was looking for stock Desire-Z rom because custom roms don't have that HTC-Location app that the stock rom has.
I have been using (and paid) that app for offline driving navigation and like it a lot.
Not sure if any 3rd party custom roms will still have that app.
So yea, Sky go now has support finally for the Nexus 4 and jellybean!!! but it doesnt work on rooted phones , even using temp unroot, it still sees at i am rooted..
So any way around this?
And if not, can i just unroot and flash root when i need it
Looks like stock only at the moment unless someone patches the apk
Ok so i did something kinda strange, but its working...
I uninstalled root using the full uninstall root in the SuperUS app
I then restored root with temunroot in the otaroatkeeper app,
Now i dont have Super SU, but iv verified root using apps and also sky go is working!

The only issue is now it just gives apps root access that want it . it doesn't bother asking me obviously because the app is no longer there..
But that surely means sky go is looking for supersu apk

So iv got it to work ...
1) ota rootkeeper temp unroot
2) superSU app and use Full uninstall ( This deletes SuperSU apk)
3) back to otarootkeeper and restore root
4) tested root using root checker ... says rooted but no SuperSU app as you can see from the pic
5) tested sky go... works on every channel
Now i tested root with titanium and root checker, both say rooted, HOWEVER, both dont ask for permisson to use root, as the APP is gone, so it seems to just grant it access automatically ( could be risky)
Also iv noticed that if im currently in rooted mode, i.e not tempunrooted in otaroot keeper, and the app reloads, i get the your rooted error , please kindly F off..
If i temp unroot and make sure the ap reloads again, i get Sweat apple pie!
have you tried disabling the superuser app whilst using sky go? that might be a good way to go

Good question, i havent.. may give it a go
i bet it's a matter of changing a string that looks like "check for root" true to false. Or maybe not....

Lol i dont think its that easy...
its been a problem for ages, basically if your on a custom kernel or rom my method doesnt work.. so it obviously checks a few things rather than just the presence of the superuser.apk

I used CF-root to root my phone but did no further modifications, does that mean I would have a custom kernel (cwm?)?

Does anyone else tried this method on the HOX? I've tried but no joy. after most of the unroot/temp unroot operations in SuperSU and Voodoo the phone reboots itself for me then SuperSU is restored and starts responding to root requests again. Where am i going wrong?
Hi,
I too are having this issue with my rooted HOX, I have attempted all the suggestions to un-root etc, but Sky Go still does not work for me.
Is there anyone that can get this working at all?

I've now got my jelly bean OTA and lost root. SuperSU is still installed though but doesn't work. All my apps report no rot but sky go still won't work (if you delete the app data/cache you get loading bar before failure). Tonight after work I think i'll remove the supersu .apk and see if that works as I can only think that sky gp must actively look for a super user app as well as root. If that works I'll see if restoring root with voodoo has the same effect as its had for the nexus 4

Can confirm lilvfr400boy's method works. Clearing the app data in sky go removes its root search history so stream loads after hiding root with voodoo and clearing the app data. Username and password isn't lost either.
