Or just do it for free? C'mon, this is a Nexus forum and you're advertising your program here which is untested on the Nexus? Or am I misparsing your.... response?
I'm going to leave now....and try to forget "general" exists
yes i have the final update frf91 and root as easy installing and apk poom end you get root afther tha i download rom manger end install the rom from thear.
How safe is it since it has not been tested on the N1 (except that the OP says so).
Don't listen to this idiot. If you want to root follow instructions in the development section.

Im going have to agree with you, No offense to OP but let a Dev confirm this works with nexus one with no side effects to it, anyone that wants to root use the many instrucitons on Development section for now, till this gets a confirmation that it works with N1!
This is the same guy that posted a week or two ago saying that he was unable to follow the directions to root because they were 'too hard' and he was *****ing that other phones have one-click root whereas the N1 doesn't. A couple people even tried to help him, but he just didn't want to try.
If you want to root your N1, make sure you follow the instructions in the Dev section and not some untested program. It might not be as easy, but you learn something in the process.
I know I'm root root know end running cmod 6 Rc2 why a Samsung galasy s them believe it or not.

What? that made no sense at all
Yep, difficult to decipher Must be from another planet

Before asking how to root check this out

Been seeing alot of "how to root" or "I think i'm rooted" and even people posting that they have tried a method and it hasn't worked or stuck at a certain point in the root method they are using. so maybe this can get stickied to the Q&A.
If you want a sure fire way to root goto this link and follow the Instructions TO A TEE (aka to the letter, as it says, word for word) and I promise you you will get root.
If you have problems with it post in the thread and everyone will be happy to help... and just by Pure chance people won't help (which I doubt) add me on Gtalk @ Triketra1983 or send me a PM on here and I will happily help you get setup to get it done!
Yes it looks scary, and yes it can brick your phone, but if you do it EXACTLY like the method explains it will WORK!

visionary

Im sure that this question has probably been asked but here goes.
If I root using visionary, would that be the same as the gfree method? Im talking about permroot
Also I heard that in visionary there is an 'unroot now' option is that true?

The MyTouch4G, as well as many other HTC devices, has a security protocol in place. That is what we are referring to when we say "s-on/s-off" the perma-root option on VISIONary will not turn that off. Option94, who is great developer, said that his team couldn't come up with a one touch root process for this phone. with that being said you must you either use the ./gfree or the root.sh method to root your phones. I have links to both in my signature.
However, and i don't mean to come across as rude.
I would step back from jumping in the "root pool" and look around and study. Rooting your phone doesn't put you in any certain level, or any class of Android users. You need to know the very basics, and what they do. There is a-lot of information out there. Take your time, read up, and study the process before attempting anything. It's pretty clear this is your first root, and it appears you didn't even attempt to read a rooting process for this phone. You just search for one click root and found VISIONary and ./gfree, and ./gfree scared you off, most likely due to the ADB commands. I have a link in my signature to a thread where T_B Drew has set up a very simple way to set up your ADB and get you rolling. Start there, it's a good launch point. Once you are done with that check out the "post your eMMC serial number" thread in the General section and see what chip set you have, and the downfall of rooting a phone with a bad, or maybe "good" chip.

you can't perm root with visionary alone, you need to use the root.sh method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834225
visionary root.sh is the safer way to root your device.
the next way is the gfree method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
the differences: visionary/root.sh method gives you label s-off, and changes your bootloader to eng hboot.
gfree however, gives you radio s-off (you can flash eng hboot if you want), super CID, and SIMUNLOCK your device, so you can use other carrier's SIM cards (i e ATT)
but first, check your eMMC chip type http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081243
if your chip is an M4G2DE, i highly recommend you not root, as the chip will die.

Well that's a good start. But you would of seen in the thread for the ./gfree method that you need to replace a specific file to unroot your phone using the ./gfree method. So no the VISIONary.apk will not unroot your device for you. You must replace the file it puts on your SDcard.
Thanks.by the way I've also seen hours of videos on how to unroot.

it's better to root with the visionary/root.sh method
it's safer
which version should i use, 14,13,12,11,10 because in my readingsi've seen that you have to use version 12 because the others don't work

Since some obviously don't work on the MT4G, I would say what version you use does matter. What are you going to do with a version does doesn't work?

i see where @saranhai is coming from. I've personally never had problems with r14. But i will state i've see alot of people claim r14 is FUBAR'd.
better to use r11 to avoid redownloading, reinstalling when/if r11 doesn't work.

[Q] Root Methods: Gfree vs. Visionary?

Hey all,
Now that I have my HTC Sensation, I feel more at ease perma-rooting my MT4G and playing with it (read too many threads about bricks and problems to feel comfortable with it before). Question though...
Which method to use? The invasive Gfree for TRUE S=Off or the less-invasive Visionary method with LABEL S=Off? I was going to opt for the Gfree, but suddenly I'm reading about all kinds of issues with it.
So what's the consensus? Are most people using Gfree now and I just happen to be reading the vocal minority of those who've had issues?

Go with the root.sh method and get the .85 bootloader.

+ 1...try visionary with root.sh first...sometimes it doesn't work and then you will ned to do gfree-just make sure you follow the steps to get the engineering bootloader as that can come in handy down the road. Also you should probably check which emmc chip you have first cause if you have the "bad" one, you may want to think twice about rooting...
Check for which emmc you have first to save time. If it's the bad one then go straight for gfree. If not then go for root.sh.

Thanks guys! Looks like I have the SEM04G chip... if I'm reading correctly that should be the GOOD chip and I should be clear to use the Visionary + root.sh method correct?

not certainly. I have the same chip, and root.sh method was failing at the beginning, with an error regarding wpx.ko
So I had to use Gfree, and it worked
Funny you should mention it, but the root.sh method does not appear to be working for me either after multiple attempts. It's likely I am getting the same "error" you were, about the wpx.ko saying "Not implemented", but I read that was normal so, oh well. Was about to say to hell with it and try the gfree method. Is there any real reason NOT to use gfree?

Nope gfree is great, you should get the Eng. Bootloader though.

Trying to root-but can't get to first base

I can't seem to get VISIONary+ r14 to work. It just sits there with the yellow triangle and the poor guy with the zap going to his chest. "Rooting Device, Please Wait". Trying the simpler root.rar method first.
Seems as though VISIONary+ is used almost universally in either of the 2 basic methods, I need to get past this.
What could be wrong?
I'm pretty inexperienced, but I was able to root my G1 a few weeks ago, without a major disaster. I am running 2.2.1 froyo now on the MT4G (software version 1.17.531.2)
Root using ADB or search for a guide which isn't a one click method.
Don't any one click methods, try it manually.

Yeah ...ADB. I was hoping to not have to go there. My head's gonna explode, I just know it....
I thought that too. Don't worry. Just download adb. Then open it. Simple as that.
