i used the method mentioned here
hxxp://theunlockr.com/2010/11/15/universal-android-rooting-method-visionary-method/
and it shows i still have SU permission... but everytime my phone re starts, it opens visionary and says rooting phone...
but the thing is, my phone is snail slow now... and when i go back to the main screen, it takes forever and says loading... then my normal screen shows up... its also taking forever to do simple things, such as open text msg's
any suggestions on this problem?
Lol i think you didnt properly s-off and prem-root your phone. Go to G2/disireZ android dev... locate the thread about prem rooting. There should be 3 methods. 1 gfree(safest) 2. Unforgivens method( fastest) and 3. Rage method( dont know) well yea... hope u get rooted and if anybody sees my post can you guys better explain lol thanks
Edit: lol just go to stickes and there should be a thread that talks about guilds and roms.

Lol do you want full root? Or just speed up your phone?

but since it says my phone is rooted already, can this cause problems? or can i un root and re do it?
Lol alrighty. When you get prem-root/s-off you should flash virtuous Rom(sense) or cyan RC1 Rom(stock android feel).
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
No lol you are not rooted. You have temp root. If your hboot says s-on then your not rooted. I advice not to mess with the prem root button on visionary.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
no no what im saying is that since my phone says its s-on still, but it says its rooted... how can i start fresh, by say unrooting my phone, or is there some way i can just hop in the middle here....
im new to all this and i dont want to screw up my phone lol
Your using visionary right? Since you have s-on after you reboot your phone it should be unrooted again. Just make sure you turn off the start at boot thing on visionary
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Dont use visionary, use the other two. There have been to many problems with Visionary.
i did turn it off, and setcpu still has access it says.... so where can i confirm on the phone is it is or is not rooted....
Does h-boot say S-Off?
Like i said before. Turn off your phone hold vol down + power. If it says s-off on the left top of the screen the your rooted. Well i used unforgivens way of prem rooting and no issues. S-off (security off)
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
nope says s-on

i need help, tried to root and visionary is stuck in the black screen (not responding). is there anything i can do to fix this. usb debugging and fast boot are off, and unknown sources is on.
It should go black for a little bit. What version of visionary are you using.
14 was the only one that worked for me.

Hello,
My wife's rooted MT4G touch screen is not responding to touch anymore nor is the trackpad working. I don't know what happen but I'm going to try to get a warranty replacement, but I need to unroot and turn s on before I send it in. My question how can I do this if the screen and trackpad are not working? Is it possible through sdk and if so, anyone can provide me instructions ? Thanks on advanced.

Sounds like a defective digitizer. Considering it's a hardware issue the warranty would still apply

Rooting voids the warranty when it comes to software. Defective hardware is still covered. Doesn't hurt to unroot though. Toss pd15img on ur SD card and restore it

Ah okay, thanks. I search forum for pd15img, will that turn s back on or does T-Mobile not care?
Oh if the trackpad is not working, how can I restore it?? Possible to do it from sdk ?

If you got s-off, i don't think unrooting it will undo that. there are specific guides to turn s back ON but i doubt you would be needing that.
Good luck though.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V4NAODYZ
that is pd15img, the link shared by theunlockr so pretty good source. It will revert all parts of your system back to stock, so it should be s-on after.
This isn't meant to fix the screen, and the touchscreen isn't required to use pd15img. It is only for extra protection against getting your warranty rejected even though it's a hardware issue.
this guide will help

Hello,
Thank you, I was able to get the phone to see pd15img and is started doing it's thing, and I went to reboot it. Now I get hboot screen that kind of looks like this:

<VOL DOWN> to next item

I tried all the buttons and it is like they are not responsive, I know for fact the volume buttons work because I had to use them to select for the .zip file. I also uses the key tester in clockwork recovery to check and see if my keys were working or not. I have tried pulling the battery out, so I am not sure if I missed a step??
Thanks,
Kei

EDITED:
It seems I forked up. I didn't realize it but it is my own fault for being in a hurry. I did use the gfree method on my phone by moving the gfree files to where the guide told me and then used a terminal emulator to execute gfree. Since I already flash PD15img.zip, and I am screwed or is there something I can possibly do so that I can properly unroot by undoing gfree? If I got to learn to use adb, I will! I appreciate your help in advance!
well with that I assume you did gfree to root. I may be wrong but I think you need to use to touchscreen to revert that completely. Just try to get a replacement with the current setup.

Guess what, the screen started working but track pad is not as far as I can click but not move. So with that new development, anyway to get out of hboot?
Thanks for all of your help.

well... you can just reboot normally, right? in that case, put the part7backup file wherever you're supposed to. I didn't do the gfree method, so i dont really know how to do it. that guide i posted earlier should have proper instructions, though.

Still having issues, I am hoping someone can help me please!
I got hboot to respond by reseating the sd-card, it just continues to detect pd.zip file and will flash it successfully but after it reboots, it just goes back into hboot.

The only thing I can think of is, buy an sdcard reader if your pc doesn't already have one intergrated. Take out your sdcard, put it in the card reader, plug it to your pc and format the sdcard. Redownload the pd15 zip via pc and copy it to the sdcard.
Insert back your sdcard. Boot into hboot and let it do its thing. When its done press vol up for yes to update and when that's done power to reboot. If it reboots fine then you're good to go.
If that still sends you to hboot after reboot, the last thing I can think off to do is just remove your sdcard and boot into hboot. That way the phone won't read anything and let you choose and boot into the stock recovery(it should be blue lettering) from recovery just wipe data factory reset and reboot again see what happens then.
I have installed the rockmod_devroms_2.3.4.1-speedy and broke my root by installing "extras" can I try the rooting process again or do I have to revert back to froyo?

your good.. turn off your phone, then hold volume down and power at the same time until you boot into hboot. After it runs through a few checks, do you see s-off at the top of the screen?

Turn off your phone. Once the phone is off power on by holding the volume down and the power at the same time. (This could take up to 10 seconds) Your phone will now boot into hboot or bootloader. It will run a couple checks manually, then you'll see a few options (fasstboot, recovery, factory reset etc..) at the very top of your screen you should see "s-off" If you see that your good. You'll just need to restore a backup or flash a ROM to get your root access back.
I've had this happen where I lost root, I just re rooted again its easy.I always keep the stock 2.2 ruu just in case I need to start over

Yep, you still have root. Something was broken within the ROM you were using. Just boot into recovery and restore a backup or wipe and flash a fresh ROM.
First off I apologize for my ignorance.
I perma rooted my friends mt4g. I am sure its something stupid but I downloaded rom manager and flashed the recovery.
The recovery didn't seem to work. Everytime I try to it goes to stock recovery. With the!
I'm not familiar with mt4g. So I apologize if this is a stupid question. I couldn't find an answer as tto what I did wrong.

How are you trying to get into recovery? You can go into ROM manager and select reboot into recovery or you can power down the phone, hold down power+volume down and select it from hboot. Remember, in Hboot make selections using the power button and in recovery make selections using the trackpad. If you still cant get in re-flash recovery.
Now that I think about it, are you sure you are permrooted? Go into your Hboot to check. Make sure s=off.

Hmm you know what. It says s=on. Which is strange because it superuser works after each reboot. I still have root access.
I used visionary to perm root. Is there something I may have missed. I'm getting frustrated with his mytouch. Lol

You have visionary set to root on boot. You have to follow the steps to achieve permroot. You might want to try the gfree method. It is in the development forum under ultimate s off sticky.
No. I have temp root on boot off. Lol. That's the weird part. I stays rooted but it says s on. I will look up that method though thanks.

I was attempting to root the phone using visionary and I think I accidentally checked the run Visionary at startup box or something. The phone isn't rooted. It booted once and the lock screen would be able to slide down, but it would just go to the Mytouch intro screen. I have rooted dozens of phones and have never had anything this strange happen before.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Or just flash the pd image. If you need it let me know and ill upload it for you. Do you want 2.2, 2.2.1, or 2.3.4? Lol
I tried a PD image last night, but for all I know it could be anything. If you can upload one, that'd be cool. Either one of those would be fine with me. preferably the 2.2 version.
