After rooting and all? What's all? Are you new to rooting? Sounds like you might have jumped in too quick.

which rooting guide did you use? did you change your kernel? you need to replace the bcm4329.ko file in /system/lib/modules with the one that corresponds to the kernel you are running...
Yes I am new to it but I am really good when it comes to computers
I am trying to learn everything about the android coding and all. Cause I just bought the mt4g Last week. But I followed instructions on a you tube video. By mackster248. Its they ove xda provided

ok... settings>about phone>Software Information> Kernel version... I need it...
Just a sort of "duh" reminder to always read things carefully before you do anything.
For example I quickly read the title of this thread as "Wife isn't working" and I thought "Tell me about it"
The kernel version is 2.6.32

ok.... DOWNLOAD THIS then put it in the directory with adb. In command prompt navigate to the directory with adb then put these commands in
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
exit
abd push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/
adb reboot
your wifi should be fine after this.
Ok, do I need the terminal emulator? To type these commands

no you need adb... google android sdk download install
if you can't figure that out copy the file to your sdcard then in terminal do this
unplug phone
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
cp /sdcard/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/
this should fix it... might take a reboot
Which version do I need? 2.2 or 2.3
great now my SU permissions are denied....

you probably didn't root properly and only had temp root then
That makes sense. How do I get rid of clock work mod. I'm just gonna go back to stock. This rooting is
A pain in the ass.

It's really not that bad. You just need to slow down, take a breath and follow the instructions and everything will right itself.
Some people always think that there is a one-click solution; when in fact you just need to follow a few precise directions. Key word being 'precise'.
If you want to unroot and go back to stock, check my sig for unrooting.

Agreed. Things are far more complex than they were in the early days. It would be a long road. Rooting is the easy part

I disagree. It took an act of Congress to get root and install a new ROM just 8 months ago. ****'s cake now.
Well I went through a little time being nervous too but I read and read and just did it. Never asked 1 question. Still rarely do. I'm just saying if this is how the journey is starting it's gonna be long.

Doesn't matter for achieving root. That doesn't come into play until your flashing recovery/ROM/kernel.

Well it's mainly because most of the root procedures include flashing a new recovery/ROM. The idea of rooting in itself isn't device specific. It's simply adding the su binaries to the ROM.
I don't know what Hboot is and i don't know if i have 32a or 32b. I have like 250 mb of memory I think, I read somewhere that 32b has 192? I dunno.
My baseband is 62.50SJ.20.17u_2.22.28.25
Kernel 2.6.32.9-g93b855e
build number 3.56.531.1.cl300801 release keys
How do I know if i have the correct USB drivers installed?:
You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode
You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed
Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.
If you still can't get something to run, try doing it in recovery mode.
I know I can mount my sd card when I use usb, but does that mean the usb drivers are installed?
Do u have sdk installed on your PC?
Sent from my Dream/Sapphire using XDA Premium App
I have SDK installed on my pc, but I don't know how to use it.
Well I used that oneclick root and it worked. niiice, although when I go to emulator and type SU nothing happens, but when the program did the root test, it said it was rooted. so I don'tk now
I am not sure on even how to get into any mode after phone is shut off. I want to try installing some roms, but obviously I need radio and spl to install. I don't know how to do that with the MT3G
When u open terminal u get
$
When u type su u should get a new line with
#
Does this happen?
Read the stickies at the top of this general section. U will find all the info u can handle on fastboot,adb,sdk and so on

Hi everyone,
I got my new desire z two days ago. I am on holiday so i cannot get my device rooted with computer. I have read lots of topics and decided not to use visionary. Now i wonder if it is possible to do it without computer or just with an android based tablet pc.
Thank you for all now...
This is the recommended guide to follow (Gfree, no visionary)

That being said, there is no way to do it safely without a computer that has adb...

THIS! ADB is not required. I rooted my first G2 using terminal emulator on the phone, no ADB required.
I was fully aware of that thread, but I guess i should have emphasized the word "safely". The guide I posted is the undisputed safest way to do it

If you read down a little bit it says "WARNING: A few Desire Z users have reported being stuck on the HTC logo after following this guide. Without having a Desire Z myself, it is difficult to figure out why (since this simple automates known working methods). For the time being, I recommend Desire Z users obtain permanent root using one of the other guides out there." The op of that thread recommends using a different method. I would wait until you get back from your holiday and get to a computer.
I read all the ways to get rooted but visionary didn't work. I think device must be downgraded before get rooted. So is there a way to downgrade desire z without adb required?

Sorry to say that you need adb and your pc to start the process. I've been rooted only for a week now.

Sure i will add you when i need some help about adb. I am still on holiday so just reading topics about desire z. I think i will turn back home on 16th of July and get my computer again Thank you for helping me...
By the way, why it is so hard to get rooted on desire z. I had a samsung spica and advent vega tegra tablet, i only connected devices to pc and got rooted by one click. Are all desire devices hard (complex) to get rooted?

So, I have 2.3 via the store and am considering going back to 2.2 so I can root and use a different ROM. The problem and my reason for posting is I cannot get sdk to install properly. I run it and it tries to update everything but fails and won't allow me to connect to my phone. Now do I need temproot before this will work or am I not installing it correctly? I have read a bunch of tutorials but haven't seen this issue come up. All help is appreciated.

Windows requires administration privileges to download and install things on the SDK. Try right-clicking on the icon and selecting Run as Administrator.
OK, couldn't get it rolled back (lady was retarded on the phone) so what do I do now? I ran as admin and it looked for updates and such but found no virtual drives. Will anyone be willing to walk me through this over the phone?
OK! Got adb working now. How do I roll back? LOL I will be searching but in the meantime if you wanna add something, I would appreciate it.

First you need to get temporary root access, follow this link
http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/20/how-to-root-the-t-mobile-g2-htc-vision-visionary-method/
Then follow this link and the instructions on how to get permanent root access.
http://theunlockr.com/2010/11/30/how-to-gain-permanent-root-and-s-off-on-the-t-mobile-g2-htc-vision/
This is how I rooted my G2 when I had it. After, you can follow the tutorials on how to load custom ROMs.
Always remember to do a nandroid backup before flashing anything on your phone.
Thanks to theunlockr.com.
Good luck!

if he has the latest ota, he needs to follow the whole downgrade, root, s-off process in the g2 dev section.
use the built in search on xda to find it.
True, my G2 had Android 2.2 when I rooted; since then it got the gingerbread update.

On an unrelated note, though, I totally used theunlockr to root my phone ;D although gfree was highly recomended shortly afterwards, I never ran into any problems, which I thought was cool xD VIRTUAL HIGH FIVE BRO!
I rooted my G2 by following the cyanogenMod wiki. It's really easy to follow and it worked like a charm. Even my myTouch 4g used the exact same procedure. If you are on gingerbread firmware you will need to downgrade. Guide for that is here and then root the phone with this guide here. From then on you can flash any rom you'd prefer.
I have op 2.3 this hard I don't under stan how to down grade I have down load adb in windows 7 when I put the files on sd and I pull cmd out and put the codes in I get nothing so how do I run adb is the any other way to down grade and get root easy
