Rom manager doesn't work- Tmo G2 - G2 and Desire Z General

I recently received a T-mo G2, and tried to root&rom it.
I perma-rooted it, and although it seemed to work (i have the superuser app etc.)
when i try to install rom manager, it claims that my device isn't rooted. (superuser not found, blah blah)
Anyone else had that problem? i already searched the forum, not to find much.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

How did you root? What happens when you type SU in the Terminal emulator?

rooted with visionary+ (temproot and then permroot)
Don't have any terminal emulator, so i don't quite have an answer to that.
I have the superuser app though, and visionary+ appears in the permission list, if that's any help

Check if you have S-OFF, because it happened to me when I got my G2 rooted by a friend of mine.
Also, post the method of rooting, because there are several, so more knowledgeable users help you out.

Look up xda wiki for htc vision. Current best practice is rage and gfree.

Titanium Backup Cant Find Root

I have an htc incredible with 2.2 froyo installed.
version 2.2
kernel 2.6.32.15
baseband 2.15.00.07.28
and s-off
When I startup titanium backup the app says that it can not find root.
it is allowed in superuser, and super user starts up fine as well as some other root only apps.
Help?
Probably saying something about installing busybox, too. Right?

Click having problems and install busybox. That should fix ur problems.

Firstly sorry for asking dumb questions, I didn't see the problems button at first.
Secondly what does busy box do. Doesn't super user already give it all the permissions it needs?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Idk but just open busybox, first time it always fails for me. Just click install again then titanium will work.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
busybox is like DOS/*nix/etc prompt, only that it processes commands in the background. Even you have a working copy of Busybox installed, it's a good idea to hit said button and download a specific version of Busybox for TB (don't worry, it doesn't overwrite any existing copy of busybox).

Adfree

Does the program 'Adfree' work with Desire HD?
Yes, combined with VISIONary, start VISIONary then load adfree and voila

It does but don't forget you'll need VISIONary temp root to use it
DEVELOPMENT?!?!
try general.
just advising you stick to forum rules please. i know this is only your second post. so a tip for the future, development is only for development of the phone,roms,hacks, scripts, guides something along those lines
Moved to General.

Lots of ads (in apps) still not being blocked.
There are several options in the app, which ones(s) should be checked to be most effective?
Thanks
Yup, not blocking any ads here.

Me neither. Perhaps it's related to the fact that visionary doesn't actually give you the same level of access as a full root does on other phones.

I've checked this carefully: adblock works and writes hosts file as it should. After few minutes default hosts file is restored. Google really wants to make money with ads. I really don't know why...

Seems to be working on my DHD now.
Does anyone else still have this problem?
Adfree still does not work on my DHD. I used VISIONary R12 to permaroot and things like Drocap work just fine, but adfree continues to not block any ads .....
Same problem right here. Doesnt block ads. AdFree has Superuser.
If you have just used visionary to root, /system will restore itself to factory every time you restart the phone. Adfree has to write to /system/etc/hosts or at least symlink to there, either way it needs to write to /system. Every time you restart your phone /system/etc/hosts will disappear and any apps in /system/app will reappear as well.
If adfree isn't working at all you have to use visionary to set /system r/w (read/write). This will allow you to use adfree but you will have to reinstall the hosts file every time you reboot.
As far as I know the only way to make a permanent modification to /system is to set your phone to s-off. Be careful if you decide to do it kinda dangerous if it goes wrong the phone is a brick.
VISIONary r12 worked for me- try killing the app with ads, and restarting after running temp rooting and running adfree.
I've since perm rooted/s-off, my phone and adfree works like a treat, but be warned getting s-off can screw your phone up if you do it incorrectly

[Q] root htc hd2 android HELP PLEASE

hi everybodye sorry for the question but im new on this, well i have a htc hd2 from tmobile, i install android nand, following directions of a forum from here, everything is working good, i install setcpu from market and it do not let me configure it,so i install root check and it said is NOT rooted, my question is how can i root my phone,, please help.. thanx a lot and sorry if my question is stupid for some of you guys
As long as you have hspl you should be rooted. I would check to make sure you have setcpu superuser permission
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
thanx so much for you answer and not make fun of me, well yes i installed hspl3, and when it done it said we hack it, but root checker still say, sorry you dont have root access can you please tell me how to check superuser permission, thanx so much,,
Look in your app tray and see if you have a Superuser icon. If you do then ckick in it and then find where it says allow superuser access. Most Andriod ROMs for tbe HD2 are already rooted when you install them. If you do not have a Superuser icon then Google "z4root" it is a one click root app that works. You will have to dowmload it unzip/extract the apk and copy it to your SD card and then use a file manager to navigate to the apk file and open it this will install the app to your phone. This is also what is known as "sideloading" in Andriod. Open the app and click on Root now button and it will root your phone.
Using a cpu overclock app has a downside as well as the upside of a faster response when in use.
The downside is that when downclocked and idle, the phone can take a couple of seconds to clock up to the operating speeds required - on some roms its more noticable than others. but a good solid ROM does not need this boost and there a few on here
please help
im having exactly the same problem doing my head in ,i installed a nand gingerbread rom that is faultless it cracked it and gave me a super user icon however the superuser never opens and when i install certain programmes they need root access and its saying my phone is not rooted ive checked with a rooting app and it says no root ive tried several methods that has not worked ie superoneclick gingerbreak nothing seems to work
any help would be appreciated
im not a novice ive flashed many devices etc cant seem to figure out why i havent got root though
^ try a different ROM
almost all are rooted already

How can I tell if my atrix is properly rooted?

I'm a little confused guys.
I pretty much followed the instructions for part 1 and 2 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12631216&postcount=2911
I flashed my phone back to 1.2.6 then ran the before update script. Then updated, then ran the after update script. I am able to download .apk files and run them without being pestered. But I tried to run boot strap, and nothing would happen when i hit "Recovery boot". I know the gignger blur installation instructions says to make sure I'm plugged in to an AC charger so I did. Didn't work. I plugged it into my car charger. Didn't work. Tried my USB cable connected to the PC for sh*ts and giggles, but still nothing.
So I though maybe my phone isn't rooted properly? I googled a little and found this: http://androidforums.com/32282-post3.html
I installed the terminal app and ran su and it said permission denied. But I think I am able to access /data/app-private (I type in cd /data/app-private and it doesn't do anything so I assume I'm in the app-private directory, no?)
...So I guess I'm just here to ask, am I going in the right direction to check to see if my phone is rooted? Any other way of checking to see if I'm rooted correctly? I'm not exactly looking for the easy way, I'm looking for the correct way.
Any help is appreciated =)
If you are properly rooted, there will be an application called Superuser in your app tray.

I have that app, how come when I su in terminal it denies me permission?
Open up Superuser and make sure it is in your "allow" list.

When I open up superuser it only says "No apps in list" under my Apps tab. And hitting the menu button (the button with the 4 squares) does nothing whenI'm in the Apps tab.
Strange... So when you type "su" in the terminal, does it give you a pop-up to allow superuser access?

Nope, just says "Permission denied"
Try switching usb settings from none to storage then back to none, and also uncheck usb debug and recheck it. I know when I updated my phone to restore root that is what I had to do or I would get premission denied.

Still no luck, I think I might have lost root ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12685034&postcount=3303 )
How do you even loose root?
Yes, you don't have root. I was in a similar situation when I first tried the Mac version of aRoot. There was a bug in the script so I didn't actually get rooted, but it installed superuser anyway so I thought I was. Anything that requires root will simply fail.

[Q] how can tell if my HD2 is rooted?

I got a second hand Hd2 and i was wondering how could i tell if it was rooted or not so i know what i have to do to put android on it.
-thanks
If you flashed any HSPL then you have rooted your phone.
I didn't do anything to it yet, but i was wondering if there was a way to find out if it was rooted already. i wasn't sure if the guy i bought it from did anything to it
Is it running android

No, rooted means to have read/write priveliges in the root filesystem in Android, If your phone's ROM is not rooted, you will not be able to modify, copy, paste or delete files in such folders as /system, /dev, etc. in the phone's internal memory, even with such a great app as Root Explorer. HSPL has nothing to do with this, it is a modified SPL, or bootloader, which is the software which loads your operating system, or whatever it is programmed to load at bootup, such as MAGLDR or clk.
Most if not all the ROMs here in the XDA forums come pre-rooted btw.
If you want to know if your phone is rooted, here's an easy way. Go into the Android market and install Terminal Emulator. Open it and type 'su' without the quote marks. If the little symbol where you're typing turns from a '$' to a '#', then you have root access, your ROM is rooted. If it stays a '$', you're not rooted and should search for an app called Z4Root.
