Perm rooted but stuck at sh-3.2# prompt in terminal - EVO Shift 4G General

So I successfully perm rooted my evo last night and everything in adb went through ok, but now when I try to access superuser permissions through terminal it doesn't work, it just stays at the sh-3.2# prompt. Instead of going to "$" when typing "su", it just stays at that prompt. I don't have an immediate need to access superuser through termial, but I would at least like to figure out the problem. Thanks in advance

In the "How to Root" thread it explains you have to try it a few times to get it to work..I had the same problem..when you go into boot loader it doesn't read S-Off either does it

What do you have to try a few times? When I go into bootloader it still says s-off

So it just automatically puts me in root? I guess I was wondering why the "sh-3.2" is in front of it since it didn't do that in the beginning

Rooting: Help, can't get passed Step 6

Ok, I'm ready to root my phone and wanted to install CyanogenMod on my MyTouch 4g. I'm following their wiki document (can't post the link here, it won't let me), but can't get passed step #6. When I enter the string "adb push su /sdcard/su", I get "failed to copy 'su' to '/sdcard/su' : Permission Denied
I skipped down a few steps and tried the 3rd line, "adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage", it returned "5 kb/s (5392 bytes in 1.00s)." So that appears to have worked.
Any ideas?

Try using this method
Link to post
If you wish to use the CM method you need to download/install VISIONary, and temp root the phone phone with "set system to r/w" and "run VISIONary.sh" both checked marked. prior to doing anything.
IF the link i supplied earlier i would high suggest looking for the thread called "post your eMMC serial number" in the general section, some information you might want to read.

Thats weird, cuz the CM method states to uninstall VISIONary before continuing. Wow, now I'm really confused!
If I follow the link you posted, will I still be able to install CM?

The link i posted will turn your s-off, so yes you can do what ever you want given you know what your doing.
just a side-note, once your s-off you can flash whatever MyTouch 4G ROM you want. Cyanogen or other.
just make sure to install the Recovery Image. That is where you flash stuff from.
and keep in mind that is a Wikipage, anyone can edit it. Someone may of removed it.
When you see a "permission denied", that means you have a lack of SU access. Visionary will restore that SU access.
Wow, thanks for the info. I think your few posts put all the research i've done into perspective. Just to clarify, when you say "install the recovery image," what exactly do u mean? Is that like running the ClockWorkMod Recovery in ROM Manager?

pretty much, you can download Clockwork ROM Manager from the market place and having it "flash the recovery image". Or if you are familiar with ADB you can download the image directly from Koush's website and flash it from the ADB command prompt.

Wow, the instructions don't say that! I'm all confused. So I went ahead and did that, then go into ROM Manager, go thru the steps of installing CM7. It confirms my actions, then reboots. Upon bootup, I get the red-triangle. Battery-pull and back to square 2, I think... (since I still have s=off)

Some phones are tricky and wont root with the same methods. If you are daring you may try gfree method, but again like above read the emmc serial thread to gain perspective on whats happening with supposedly inferior emmc chips.
Ok ill look into that cause I tried this method didn't work was gonna try adb method Idk to much bout gfree

Without sounding like a jackwagon. You might want to take a peek into the "post your eMMC serial number" thread under the general section. It's becoming obvious that if you cannot root with the root.sh method your phone might have a bad eMMC. I would highly encourage you to look into that, along with the thread in my signature to get ADB up and running to determine if you have a serial number for a problematic eMMC.
If you do have have a problematic eMMC, i wouldn't perma root it or flash a new ROM.

Hahhaha, "sounding like a jackwagon!" that was funny. I'll check it out, thanks for all your help...
I have yet...
to figure out how to root my MyTouch 4g, nothing seems to work!
To All Those That Helped...
I was finally able to root my phone and start installing custom roms. In fact, I think I've turned into a ROM-Whore.
What I think did it, someone previous wrote, there seems to be a delay with the cache partition on the MT4Gs. So after I got S=off, I didn't immediately try and run Visionary again. Instead, I waited several hours (not by choice, something came up). When I attempted after that, whallla!
I've since been wiping and flashing, wow.
Now if I can get Swype to install.... LOL
I had trouble getting s-off with the unlockr,adb,wiki,z4root,newer visionary guides. Just gave up last night after that, he next morning did another search and found this link:

THANK YOU HTC for finally realizing this shyt is a headache and unlocking your future phones /rant

[Q] Rooting without a sim card?

So I have an old MT4G laying around that already has a void warranty and I don't think it can be activated anymore either (used the insurance to get a new one after the screen cracked and they said to not bother sending it in because of all the problems we were having with them).
Anyway Iv'e been wanting to learn to root for quite awhile now (since I got the original moto droid a week after it came out) and this seems like the perfect opportunity to learn. If I brick it it doesn't really matter since it doesn't get used anyway but my question is can I root it without it having a sim card?
Thanks guys.
yes you can
Yes you can, believe you just need the sim card to access t-mos network. You can still use wifi with the phone to play around with...
Thanks guys, gonna start it today sometime so hopefully tonight I will have my first rooted device
So I used VISIONary and it seems I'm permrooted after temprooting? I have done a battery pull and left it out for about 30 secs, "restarted" and shut down and turned it back on twice and I still have superuser. Not complaining just thought I had to hit "Attempt Permroot now" in order to perm root it.
Any ideas? did I just not leave the batt out for long enough?

VISIONary.apk will NOT perm root your device if the device has not been S-off. the superuser app will always be there, but that doesn't mean you have perm root. go to terminal emulator, type "su" (no quotes) and it will give you "permission denied". you must have an S-off device to perm root. there are plenty of guides out there that will tell you how to root, easiest method is using visionary/root.sh found here:

In what process did you brick your phone? the only time you can brick you phone would be when you're flashing the RUU. or doing anything to the bootloader.
1. set up ADB (its a program on the computer) it's simple, you just install it.
2. make sure your computer detects your phone (charging + usb debugging modes)
- you can check by typing "adb devices" in the command prompt when you're in your adb-sdk folder or whatever you name it.
3. download all the downgrading zips, extract them all to where you installed ADB mine is C:\SDK\platform-tools\
4. open command prompt and go to whereever you installed ADB and check to see if your device is connected "adb devices"
5. punch in all those commands in the guide. It's all very detailed. It's all straightforward. There are a lot words and stuff but just follow the directions religiously.
It shouldn't take anymore than 30 mins to set up and everything.
If you already have ADB installed, and the dled files. you could easily finished everything in 5-10mins.
did a quick Google search....

Root Questions/Help

Sorry if this has been covered before, but I searched up and down XDA and google for a solution. Here is the deal; Im trying to root my phone and Im having some issues. Im getting unknown user root in Terminal when I try to run the commands from this thread.I have both versions of Visionary and I believe I have temp rooted the phone. This is where it starts to get strange. Superuser.apk is installed, but Im never prompted for SU permissions. The only app that requested it was Visionary when I tried the permaroot option. Also, I got the system to be r/w via visionary, so I tried to delete some bloat. I used root explorer to do so. But the apks I deleted are still in the app drawer, and after reboot, are still in system/app. Im really super confused by all of this, and hope you guys can give me a hand. This is a little bit different then rooting my vibrant lol.

Do you run Visionary+ before typing "su" in Terminal Emulator?
Does it complete successfully?
Can you try to run any other root program (like Titanium Backup) to verify that you actually have root access?

Try another version of Visionary+, because the current version doesn't root you.
Make sure that you are indeed on 2.2.1, because if you're on 2.3.4 - Visionary can't root at all.

Make sure that you are indeed on 2.2.1, because if you're on 2.3.4 - Visionary can't root at all.

Its 2.2.1. I have tried both visionaryplus r11 and r12, also tried the regular visionary, super one click, and z4root. I still get unknown user root in terminal. Im starting to get frustrated.

I had the same problem last week when trying to root my replacement phone after downgrading it to 2.2.1. The visionary app that I used before didn't work this time. I had to download it again and this time it worked. Before deleting the current visionary app make sure to clear it's data prior to uninstalling it then reboot the phone then try again. That worked for me!
Since you've already tried rooting it with so many methods, I'll suggest you restore the phone to factory settings and start over.

No dice, I have tried a reset 4 or 5 times now.
Haza! I have S-Off. I followed CM Wikis guide and it took a few times, but it worked. Thanks for all your help guys!
