Use the Manual method found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834225
But the problem is that I can not even get temp root. VISIONary says there is root but the terminal says permission denied when I try and get root access.
Try installing the superuser app from the market

Seriously?! That's it? Ha!
What?
Why do you think that this is so funny. You have been their at one point and who knows someone else could have the problem and now they know what to do. Attitudes like this is what will lead to the downfall of the android developer community.

No dude you got me wrong. I'm just amused that the problem is really solved that simply. It would never have occurred to me to try that. I've only just started playing with visionary on my phone about half an hour ago so I have virtually zero experience rooting the mt4g so far.
Was not talking **** but I totally appreciate your supportive attitude and I agree with your statements. I was a super-noob and am still pretty darn noobish. I actually enjoy helping where I can and I put links in my sig in case they come in handy for others.
Oh... Sorry for coming off so harsh.
Do you have any questions or need any help?

Since this is no longer development related, I am moving to General section
Okay. Sorry for being off topic. But if you need help please ask here.

No worries, your heart was in the right place. I think I'm ok for now. Going out of town this weekend so won't be able to play with this until probably tuesday night.
Also kinda waiting for CM6 to be available for our phones.
Yup Cyanogen Mod 6.1 will be amazing. They have already booted it but the status of the ROM is unknown

How to root
First Question? Do you get and OTA Update (You can check by going to System -> About Phone -> Software Information. If you have gotten the update then under Android version it would say 2.2.1.
Next you need to follow this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834225
What I did is I downloaded the program droid explorer (PC) (http://de.codeplex.com/) and it set up the whole adb system. All I did was to plug the phone in and copy the two files using Super Manager (Phone) and the ran the 2 commands minus the adb part of the command.
Download Visionary (http://android.modaco.com/content/t...350/10-nov-r12-test-visionary-one-click-root/) and then copy the apk file to your sd card.
Then mount your phone to your pc and copy the two files on to the root of your SD Card
Then open up super manager and go to settings and Enable ROOT Function, and show hidden files.
Then go the the copied files and cut them (Hi-light check box and hit the pair of scissors)
The keep navigating up one level until you cant go up anymore.
Then navigate to data
Then inside of data select local and paste the files there.
Then plug your phone in but dont mount it ( When you plug in it pull down the notification bar and select USB CONNECTION Change Type and change it to charge only.
The open Droid Explorer and it will recognize your phone
Look on the tool bar and hit the icon that looks like the command prompt icon.
The type su an on your phone you will get a prompt for superuser on your phone accept it.
Then copy and paste the following commands
insmod /data/local/wpx.ko You should get an error stating "function not implemented" this is what you want
dd if=/data/local/hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Then type sync and wait about 5 min and then reboot.
Complete Credit for this guide goes to grankin01 I just broke it down step by step.
Hope this helps

Hey, just rooted my mytouch 4g yesterday there is a youtube video that is very helpful but he forgot to mention after you download the root.rar file and extract it check and make sure your root.rar file folder doesnt have another root.rar folder in it when you double click your folder it should show 3 fies thats what you want on your phone for me i clicked on it and it was another folder named root when i took that one and put it on my phone it worked and make sure you only use visionary r11
here is a video that helped me out i think this is the one you were talking about http://www.youtube.com/user/BlackPrince310#p/u/8/bFRWNoRiqlA all credit for the video goes to Blackprince310

I apologize in advance for being an utter novice. I know enough to know not to F with my root. But if one of you in this forum is in the TB area and would like to help me with MyTouch 4G, I would value your services.

can you tell us what step you are getting hung up on? What process are you using? there's at least 3 sets of instructions to root and I followed a different one than the link that was posted (though I did use terminal emulator).
When I first rooted, the issue I was having trouble with was after checking for temp root and re-running visionary to perm root.
Also, if you're stuck at the entering command steps, make sure your folder isn't buried 1 folder too deep.
EDIT: I don't want to confuse you more but this is the post I followed. Very similar to the previous thread posted but I found this easier.

Do you have rooted build? Mostly all the builds are rooted. But sometimes in some builds root permissions have problem. You can check whether you have root or not by following method:-
Download terminal emulator from market(free)
Open emulator and type "su" without quotations and press enter
if you do not get any errors then you have root enabled. If you have some errors then you might have to find solution to root your build.
I also got lock freezes that appeared at some point. I started remembering what I was installing and guessed it might be the poweramp lockscreen widget. I disabled it yesterday and did not have any lockscreen freezes today.

Well I am not a pro in the matter of rooting the build... I would recommend you to search the thread of your own build. May be someone else had the same problem. Another thing you can do is post another question about rooting the phone, may be someone expert will help you out....

Hi to All.
I am new to Driod and this forum as well,
I bought Atrix From BELL.
So far I have flashed the ROM to the New OLYEM_U4_1.4.2 Telstra.
Rooted and Deoxed as well, I even got a Custom theme on it.
In short my story, I tried using the Arabic "Framework.jar" that is posted on one of the Dev-Forum on this site. My phone soft bricks.
Is there a better way to update the file. Or the file is just not compatible
What i have tried.
1 - Reflash > rooted > Deoxed > Arabic suport = Bricked ?
2 - Reflash > rooted > Arabic supprot = Bricked ?
Thank you

Yes, Please attache your original "Framework.jar" file for me.

Should the permissions be:

and should i do it ADB or just file expert.
Thank you for your great work.

Even though I forgot to change permissions once and it wasn't not anything severe like a soft brick, the fix just did not work until I modded the permissions and restarted.

I made sure the extensions were set RW-R-R . but I guess this Firmware does not like it.
I guess this is a sign to stop using this Arabic support.

PS:
Under windows ADB connects but cant get root access for some reason ?
Can you wait for few days. I promise i will make it work for you and i am trying to get the browser too. So if not today wait till tomorrow and it will work. If you reflash your device do not install anything just keep it Deoxed and rooted. So if we have any problem you do not lose your files.

Let's see. I did provide a link in my response, and the last post on the page of the link I gave had the fix for the sim card message. How much more spoon feeding will you require?
first you need file manager with root access
Sim card messages:
Go to system there is a file called build.prop ,open it and add the line ro.carrier=wifi-only,you can add this line on the bottom of the file for example and les and save the file.
Reboot and the simcard message should be gone.
For the fd.updater problem:
That is because the build prop is changed so the update service doesn't recognize it.
That is no problem I delete this in my roms so you won't have that stupid message.
What you can do is go to system/app, find fd.updater.apk and fw.updater (i think that is the correct name) and rename them by putting a .bak behind the name of the apps.
Reboot and the messages should be gone.
