Use "FlashTool" (Search the forum for this). It's the easiest way to root ATM and you can Install xRecovery and Optimize (JIT) as well using this same tool.

That means you haven't installed ClockworkMod recovery yet. First flash that via ROM Manager, and then attempt to make a backup again. I recommend doing it the manual way by booting into recovery mode, rather than by doing it through the ROM Manager app.

While you did root your phone you must turn off the security protocol. That is why we are mentioning s-off/s-on. IF you look in the development section you will see thread after thread after thread on how to do just that. Simply running VISIONary will not root your phone to the degree that you need. You must turn off that security protocol. If you don't everytime you reboot your phone it's going back to a OE fashion and losing Root Access, and losing the recovery image since the phone is flashing the stock recovery image again.
but thats what im sayin ive even had z4root and visionary but i only temp root not perm do i have to perm root to get this to work...? also ive re-rooted my phone everytime i rebooted cause i know that temp goes away after.... HELP PLEASE

you need to boot into hBoot and look at the top line for s-on or s-off. If s-off just boot the phone normally and click on Temp root, then perma root and your done.

returned replacement phone... PLEASE HELP -- NEED TEMP ROOT UNDER STOCK FROYO NO ADB

OK.... I said f*ck it to the replacement phone.... DOn't want it... Can't root it... (besides I found out it had the ****ty screen that is manufactured in Taiwan, not China). Further, I want to root it now and I cannot do it with stock gingerbread. Sending back replacement phone today...
BUT....Unfortunately, I restored Froyo to my old phone. So now I have an unrooted phone, with Android 2.2.1.
But.... I STILL DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONNECT VIA USB TO USE ADB
I cannot use any wifi adb methods as they all require root.
I cannot use Visionary for temp root as the cyanogen root page wiki says it should be uninstalled.
Nonetheless, I copied all of the needed files to my sdcard, so I am ready....
BUT I NEED TEMP ROOT FROM THE EMULATOR.
Does anyone know how to get temp root for FROYO through the emulator only??.....OR, another Visionary type apk which will give me temp root???
Sorry can"t help on your problem, but how did you restore stock froyo? Had the same replacement prob, sent it back to T-mobile, called CS told them about issues, they're sending a MT4GSlide, call CS you might get lucky like I did
use the "how to root.sh root your phone".
i used that in the T-Mobile store to root my before i left the store when i bought the device.

The phone I restored to stock Froyo was my old phone... It was rooted already. I just wanted to restore it to a factory condition so I wouldn't have any problems returning my old, and rooted/heavily modded phone to TMO.
So I just took the .img that you can download from this thread LINK
Then you just make sure it is on the root of your sdcard, then boot into hboot by holding the volume down while pressing the power button. It will boot and think it is an "update", but it will just restore it to the stock.
Obviously this cannot be done from 2.3.4 because it realizes it is an old version... If you have a phone with stock 2.3.4 you have to trick it into letting you downgrade from gingerbread to froyo using this thread: LINK

That's great! But I told them about the fact I solved my wifi problem.... Besides, I already tried to shake them down for a Sensation... no go.
The Slide version looks great... Better camera and faster.... But for now, I will stick with the 4G regular unless I get another issue....
My solution (in another thread) to my wifi problem requires you select "wifi only" under the wifi calling app. If this becomes really problematic and inconvenient, I will call them back... Will try to get a Sensation again or a 4G Slide then.

Z4Root is another app that might work on Froyo.
You can manually execute psneuter or rageagainstthecage from Terminal Emulator. Search Google, it'll guide you for both.
Or you could just not listen to CM Wiki, and use Visionary.
I think Visionary screws things up pretty badly.... I found this out the hard way.
I think I have done a hard reset (removed battery + factory reset) about 8 times so far.
I have been using a combination of Visionary, followed by a root.sh script from this link. Then I do get root.... but it is tremendously precarious.
I then uninstall Visionary, use ADBwireless as I have root now and proceed to follow the Cyanogen instructions.....
But then... whenever I have to run psneuter, it boots me out of the adb shell and I have to start everything all over again.... I have to do a factory reset to get Visionary to work that one f*cking precious time.
I just tried it again just now (I have been modifying steps and things to get it to work)... And now... every time I do a factory reset and run visionary, I don't get a Superuser Root... I get "UNKNOWN USER ROOT" in the emulator.... I have know idea what that means, but it is not root....
I have been at this for days and losing my mind. I cannot believe I can't root this phone.... especially now in Froyo... Without a god**mn USB CABLE!!!

z4 root doesn't work with the MT4G...
Hey... I had a thought..
Since I have nandroid backups... If I get a Visionary root (if I can....), can I just restore my phone with one of them... I mean those backups are all simunlock, eng hboot, radio =111111111, etc. full root.
But... I thought I would ask so I do not have to do another 15 hard resets to figure out that it doesn't work.

no, because VISIONary.apk only gives root access, not S-off. S-off is needed to flash Clockworkmod Recovery, which is needed to flash the backups.

Thanks... and for whatever reason... even though I think I rooted my phone successfully, I cannot restore any of my nandroid backups... I get an error in Rom Manager.... and while in recovery, I get an error of "files missing".
Now I cannot even boot the phone. It is stuck at the myTouch Splash.
I am so f*cking tired of doing this... Nothing has worked--
I cannot believe I reset this phone to Froyo in anticipation of sending it back....
I ended up keeping it because it had the better screen and because I thought I had solved my wifi problem...
I am without a phone at all at this point.

I finally managed to do it. But it took a lot of trial and error.
I learned:
You can only be rely on exactly 1 temp root from visionary after a factory reset. Any more and you are getting lucky.
Visionary definitely should be uninstalled before following that guide.
I may make a guide after belabouring 17 hours to accomplish this.
I guess I am lucky... If TMO had sent me a phone with a good screen, I would have been tempted to keep that one. If I did, it would have been stock 2.3.4, and I would probably not have root yet.

You wrote you want to reset your phone to the BS free ROM, but then at the end you write you want to get root access. What state was your phone in when you started to try this? Was your phone already rooted? Was your phone already rooted and on BS free ROM and just needed to clean up your phone and get back onto the BS free ROM? If you were not already rooted and had taken the Verizon OTA updates to Lollipop, chances are good you cannot root your phone, and therefore you cannot run the BS Free ROM. Let us know what state your phone was in when you started this so we can help you better.

If you never rooted your phone and you took all of the Verizon OTA updates to 5.0 you are most likely on OG5 and cannot root your phone. If you took an OTA update in the past few days before trying this, you may have been on the latest OK3 security patch update. Your best bet would probably be to find the OG5 full factory tar file and flash it in ODIN to get your phone back to a working state. I think there is a thread in the general section where you can find the file you need.

Flash your official firmware again. Either via fastboot or through sdcard upgrade. This will unroot your phone only. But as your bootloader is now unlocked. It shows that your phone's software is tampered. Even if you try to lock the bootloader again it will say relocked not locked. Hope you understand this

Yes it will erase the records. But to root the phone you need to unlock the phone's bootloader which will void your warranty and there is no going back from it. So choose wisely. Rooting isn't the only thing that will void your warranty. Unlocking the bootloader also can. By unlocking the bootloader even though you don't root phone your warranty is void.

Yes. Absolutely right but Huawei did not send update for this phone. Even though my phone was untouched(not rooted&factory locked). So even then I had to flash update.app manually (which isn't hard at all) . Also Huawei isn't releasing p8 lite update anytime soon. So it is safe to root.

I'm worry about later. Now I want to know how to unroot my phone and back it to it status before rooting it (NO any trace or logs that I rooted) if I flashed the UPDATE.APP will it back to it status before rooting it and will receive updates again? If not can you tell me a method to unroot it and back it to it status before rooting it (with NO trace or logs that I rooted) ?

Short answer even if you you erase root traces you still won't receive update (ota) because of unlocked bootloader. I guess your didn't read the unlocking agreement that I mentioned earlier.

YOU CAN'T ROOT WITHOUT UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER.

How? What I know now that if I rooted my phone and unrooted it, it won't be able to receive any updates again. What want I know that if there is a method to full unroot my phone to back it able to receive the updates again.

Sh*t there is a typo (damn auto correct) I am sorry my bad. You can't root your phone without unlocking bootloader. By flash update.app you can fully unroot but bootloader can't be locked again.

That's I wanted to know, a lot of thanks for you. But how about if I flashed an unrooted ROMs, is there is any issue / damage for my phone? And from where can I get trusted unrooted ROMs for my phone?

You mean official firmware? I would recommend you to stick to the official firmware. It has least bugs. You can download it from here assuming your phone is from middle East. https://goo.gl/8KQo5e
