Hello all.
Noob here. Just got my mt4g permarooted but i'm curious what settings I need to run. I had visionary running on boot before rooting. I assumed I needed to turn that off after permaroot but I could not gain root access without it. Anyone mimd helping with the right setup?

Could you provide the steps you took to get rooted or maybe a link to a guide you followed?
If you are permarooted you should have no problems turning off that setting in Visionary.

Everytime I do that, phone freezes after I click attempt permaroot. The screen goes black like it does for temproot but freezes after and nothing else happens.

Anyone?
I think the problem is visionary refusing to permaroot. I'm using r14. Visionary crashes and freezes my phone when I attempt to petmaroot and I have to pull the battery to restart. Any options to visionary? Maybe an older release?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all,
I did the True PermaRoot by following the instructions on this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
If I was to use PD15IMG.ZIP to restore my phone, how would it affect the true perma root and the sim unlock?!
Would the phone remain permarooted and unlocked?!

You do loose root but the gfree is still there along with sim unlock as well as eng bootloader.
There is a link in the Rom bible that does it all in one cick

Thank you!
So if I got it right, I would first unroot and reverse the process of true perma root then use the pd15img.zip to revert to stock then reroot using same procedure, right?
But originally I wanted to know what would happen if I was to go straight to the pd15img.zip and if that would leave the root and unlock and s-off intact?

I rooted my MT4G with VISIOnary a while ago, and unrooted it about a week ago with the PD51MG file or something to that wording, because I wanted the gingerbread OTA. I then remembered why I rooted in the first place because the stock OS is glitchy and battery life was terrible. I tried running VISONary again but it just hangs on the rooting screen. Should I try using gfree to root it again or am I SOL?
Did you get the official gb update?
No, I'm still on 2.2.1
I had the same problem. I got it rooted again using VISIONary r14.

You should be able to use the same exact method you used to root it the first time if you are still 2.2.

I remember something similar happened to me, I got temp root but perm root didn't stick with that rooting screen problem too, try to use the pd15 thing again and start from scratch or just maybe factory reset it.
Did you make sure fastboot is off? And other settings are correct? it's been so long I don't remember.

Follow Gfree method and I assure you you'll get perm root.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4B4y0CQUDo
Also, you can't get higher than 1ghz because the stock kernel caps at 1ghz. You'll need to perm root and flash either a new kernel or a new ROM to allow OC'ing past 1ghz.

That would be why. First of all, the stock kernel can't be overclocked, it's coding won't allow that (or if it can be overclocked, it can't be very stable). Secondly, you must perm root for any custom clock settings to stick after a reboot. If you haven't been able to perm root, it may because you have the "bad" eMMC. A rooting method that works in that case is posted as a sticky in the dev section.
Thanks both of u anyway just in case I have a bad emmc can I have a link to dev way of rooting with that bad emmc

you are incorrect. a plethora if users with the "bad" emmc have reported inability to root via visionary.
I still don kno if I have the bad emmc or not but I was still able to root it via gfree yesterday
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
search on xda. you will find the thread on how to check.
I can attest to the gfree + visionary method posted under the stickies. I was brand new to rooting and this method worked flawlessly for me. Only a week ago I didn't even know what rooting was, now I have the ULTIMATE s-off with engineering hboot (0.85.2007) and I have flashed the virtuous unity 1.31 pyramid with v4 kernel. I also loaded the Perfect Rosie 3.0 mod and the panache radio. XDA has been the best resource for me. I just wish I had enough posts to "thank" all the devs out there for the tools to get it done.
i tryed everything to root my mytouch 4g i used every visionary i can find still nothing
its 2.2.1 on it
USB debugging is checked?
Visionary gives you temporary root access that does not survive a reboot. You will need to use the gfree method to unlock the bootloader and then run permanent root with Visionary.
What steps have you taken?

Pretty much sums it up. I tried temp rooting then perm rooting with VISIONary+ r14, but it didn't work, so don't try that. ./gfree is the way to go. Very simple, straightforward, and easy!
And how do I use that you got any links that would help

There's no way in the world gfree rooting method is simpler and more straightforward than visionary, root.sh method.
Visionary, root.sh method takes 3 files and one app to root and that's it. Everything can be done from the device. Takes me 5 minutes tops.

You are confused and talking out your ass. First, I was never arguing with anybody. If anybody is arguing, is you. Second, I just gave "MY" opinion about root.sh method being easier and more straightforward than gfree. Why, because some one else stated that gfree is easier and more straightforward. Third, you say I don't read? Go back and read the post I quoted, post I posted and your out the ass post. Then come back and tell me who is the one not reading.

dude lol you need to relax, the guy you quoted didn't say it's easier and simpler, he said that it's very easy and simple facepalm -____-. scroll up again, he said gfree is the way to go because root.sh didn't work for him, and it's similar to op's problem, so he should go with gfree.
I'm in this section because I own this device.
You shouldn't get so worked up over the term aguing, it isn't a bad thing. synonyms would be debating. You're arguing that your opinion on the matter is easier and simpler. I completely agree with that. But you quoted the guy who didn't make any claims comparing gfree or root.sh. amirite? lol

i am having trouble with both gree and root.sh it will temp root but nothing else..
then the second time i used root.sh and everytime i powered down my phone it would go straight to the visionary triangle and stay there
Anyone have any suggestions on how to root this device? I have read the rooting threads and visionary is not working - it is hung and says "rooting please wait" for 10-20 min... i have tried everything with visionary.
Next, i tried the gfree method http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Glacier:_Full_Update_Guide#Rooting_the_HTC_Glacier
when I get to this step, i get an error "unknown option'
./gfree -f -b hboot-eng.img -y recovery.img
./gfree: -b: unknown option
kind of stuck.

Enable USB debugging and temp root with visionary. Reboot between attempts. Once temp rooted you can use gfree to get S-Off. Then use visionary to permaroot or just flash a custom recovery and ROM.

usb debugging is on.
when i go with temp root, it just spins - says "rooting please wait" and spins and spins.
When i check temp root on reboot, it boots up and says "rooting please wait" and spins and spins.
Can you give me more specific directions? like reboot between attempts, what exactly do you mean?

Unchecked the temproot on boot option.
Try to temp root. If it fails, reboot. Repeat until successful. If you get desperate, factory reset your phone and try again.

I believe Visionary doesn't work on Mytouch 4g phones with GingerBread. You have to the option to downgrade to Froyo then root. Currently there is a one click method for htc phones.
