Make sure phone is not connected to computer via usb cable.

Phone is not connected by usb..
Has been ejected and unplugged from computer upon adding root file..
One thing to Mention is..
In my application block I have the superuser Icon..
And I can select it and use it..
But if I go to Terminal emulator, and type su..
I get permission denied..
Although when I did try to Root the phone..
I went thru Visionary..
Checked the r/w box did the root.. on r11..
Then went to type the..
"cd /sdcard/root"
And that is when i got the..
"can't cd to /sdcard/root"
Try using Visionary 14, I was having the same issue reading the SD card figured it had to do with something with the root. I'm sure you can find the link in the forums

I had that same trouble rooting my phone. My problem was that I didn't realize that the .rar was a different type of compression and needed a different extractor. I suggest uninstall visionary and superuser. Remove the battery and reboot. Then install visionary and temp root. Then try "su" in terminal again. That should work. Make sure you are using visionary r11+ also. I made the mistake of downloading just plane r11 that doesn't have the options that are necessary to permaroot.

Thank you all for your continued support..
I am starting to feel as if my phone is unable to be rooted.. lol..
I have tried using r11+ and r14+ in order to root my phone..
Each and every time I get to the Terminal Emulator and input the first command I get the error message..
Maybe using winzip to extract the root file, is not the correct software to use..?..
If anyone still needs an answer to this question, I might have one. This issue just occurred for me on my mt4g, it was a real palmslap to the forehead when I realized what I had done. I put the files from the "root" folder into the root of the sdcard. So when it said "can't cd to /sdcard/root" it was because the folder root didn't exist and /sdcard/ held the files I wanted. In other words, put the entire folder named root onto your sd card and not just the files.
Hopefully this might help someone who made the same foolish mistake I did.

First try to cd to /sdcard. If that works type ls that is LS but lowercase. Look for root in the response. If it is not there, the directory doesn't exist.
If you can't change to /sdcard try cd /mnt/sdcard
My phone's directory structure is /mnt/sdcard.
Edit:
Just tried /sdcard, it worked. Then I tried to cd to a folder by not using proper caps, that worked too. Last I tried to cd to a folder that didn't exist and got the same error. You are telling terminal to change to a directory that does not exist, meaning, there is no folder named root on the sdcard.

1) download the root.rar file
2) unzip to the sdcard
3) make sure the folder name is "root"
4) make sure the folder named "root" is actually in the SDcard
5) open terminal emulator
6)
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/root
sh root.sh
BEFORE DOING ANY OF THIS, YOU MUST HAVE ALREADY TEMP ROOTED USING VISIONARY. and when you use visionary to root, MAKE SURE USB DEBUGGING IS ON OR IT WILL NOT WORK!!
IF NOTHING WORKS FOR YOU, THEN TRY THING GFREE METHOD HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996

How did you push the root file? I'm stuck on the same thing!
PostaHTC I see you made alot of posts I am guessing you just did TempROOT and you didn't invokes the sh command. Did you download the root.sh? If so after TempROOT to get PermROOT from console type in sh <file> make sure you have root dir under /sdcard
I've done it step by step and still nothing I just got it out the box 2days ago so I just did a hard reset I'm just waiting on someone to tell me what I am doing wrong
Can you tell me exactly what to do because I rooted my 1st myTouch but this one is acting crazy! I have all the files /sdcard my question is when you temp-Root the phone do you type the commands then perm-root? Like I'm lost
Well since you are up to the PermROOT I take it you have TempROOT, if so as you saying you have root.sh in root dir inside /sdcard so it would look like /sdcard/root/root.sh for the absolute path. Also you have console right? If not go download Terminal Emulator. Then type in "su" and press enter SU=Super User or @wheel,root permission base. Then use "cd /sdcard/root" press enter CD = Change Directory. Then do "sh root.sh" and press enter as sh is shall execute command. So it would look like this below:
su
cd /sdcard/root
sh root.sh
Now just do restart and make sure you have S=OFF as you will see it on top in HBoot screen. When you are back on go open Visionary+ and unclick TempROOT on boot and click TempROOT now. Then look below and click on Attempt PermROOT Now.

I have everything I need the files and all...I have the files on the SD Card not the root folder When I turn it off it is still saying S-On
Well in that case from console type in
su
mkdir /sdcard/root
mv /sdcard/root.sh /sdcard/root/
cd /sdcard/root
sh root.sh
If you don't want to do it manually then you can do it easily via FileExp go use Astro or Root Explorer. From what you are saying I have my money on you didn't properly do TempROOT. I say go do TempROOT again then try what I suggested for PermROOT.
UPDATE: Here I found you Youtube videos how to do step by step.

Fast easy and fairly safe way, Visionary Plus r14. One click root for temp and perma-root. Usually I do not recommend the 'easy way' method because I think everyone should learn how to actually root the 'hard way' just in case.. but I have to admit Visionary Plus works perfectly on the MT4G and is fast and simple as well as fairly safe. I suggest you use the temp root option first, this way if there is any issues with your device a simple reboot will fix it.
Thanks guys I now have S=OFF and this a new replacement from TMO

i cannot speak of the person @ hand
The three needed items
you download VISIONary.apk
download the Root.sh file .zip and sore the folder with the script file inside the folder on the root of the SD card
download Terminal Emulator from the Android Market
How to do it
Run VISIONary and temp root w/ visionary.sh and set system to r/w after root checked
go into the Term Emul and type "SU". The $ sign should change to a #
if it does
cd /sdcard/root
sh root.sh

i never did. Once you turn s=off it will not check for that. after you reboot you will need to hit temp root one more time.
I'm trying it as we speak....
I temp-root?
Then I run the commands?
Then I temp-root one last time
Then Turn Off and S should be off....RIGHT?
I did a recent root though perm one. It was through a youtube video and a guide from this forum! look for perm root and s=off thread. its posted by the person who did ultimate true root and s=off.
and use visionary r11, if you dont like the manual way. thats really quick and good as well. but i dont take any responsibility though for any bricking to your phone from this suggestion xD.

k, I saw the vid, the problem is you are still running bootloader version 0.86 and we want to be on eng bootloader, 0.85.
Ok, try this:
First off: we need the SDK, get it from google here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Download the version that works for you, once it downloads (it is a .zip), extract it on your C:/ directory and for working purposes we will rename it to: "androidsdk". you have to launch the SDK manager, let it update and then read what follows:
Alternative Root Process
First, uninstall visionary and superuser and restart your device to wipe out temp root.
Second, download MT4G Modperm.zip and unzip its contents to your sdk platform - tools directory. (will be at C:/androidsdk/platform-tools
MT4G Modperm.zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?eaw0q0zjc7rrrwh
MD5Sum: 3ea4a7a6ddee711d12f7350ce60fae33
Then:
Windows Users:
1a. Using Explorer navigate to the root of your sdk. Hold shift and right mouse click on the platform-tools folder. Select "Open command window here". Or, open a command prompt, type:
cd /androidsdk/
cd platform-tools/
2a. Type "adbbat" + enter. Wait till the batch file finishes. (this will only work if the file we downloaded (MT4G mod perm) is extracted at C:/androidsdk/platform-tools (make sure that you do not create an extra folder within the platform-tools directory)
2. Disconnect your phone from the PC.
3. Open terminal emulator on the phone and type "/data/local/rage" + enter. Wait for "Forked XXXXXXXX children" to appear and then close the terminal.
4. Start terminal back up. It should force close.
5. Start terminal back up, again. This time it should stay open and you should have a "#" prompt instead of a "$" prompt. Then type "/data/local/temp.sh"
6. When the script finishes run /data/local/rage again and sit tight. The phone should start acting weird and do a soft reboot. Then right after everything loads it should do a hard reboot. (the phone might not reboot twice, if it does not, then you can reboot manually into bootloader and S=Off and Hboot 0.85 should be there)
7. Enjoy root!

you didn't read what i said.
Run Visionary.sh after root should be checked
as well as
set system r/w after root.
Both of those HAVE to be checked.
As far as why you still have s=on, i have no clue.
I followed the method posted @ the unlockr (the first time i rooted my phone) link to the unlcokr. The second time i rooted my phone i followed the Wiki posted via Cyanogen Link to their Wiki page, and both of them worked perfectly.
If you want me to make a YouTube video for you showing you how to get s=off i will be more than glad to.

You could try Cyanogen's method.
hello! i am hoping someone can figure out what i am doing wrong. I am completely new to rooting phones.read lots about it but this is my first attempt.i have had help from a friend that has rooted several phones (including his mt4g) Now i just got this phone yesterday so its new with only the required apps for rooting on it.
both my friend and i have tried several times this method:
6. Run visionary to gain temp root.
7. Open terminal emulator on your device, type “su”, and hit enter to gain root privileges.
8. Type “cd /data/local” and hit enter.
9. Now type “chmod 777 gfree” and hit enter to make the program executable.
10. Type “./gfree” and hit enter.
11. Wait for the program to finish and then reboot into HBoot to see if S=Off. Also, check your bootloader version. If it says s=off and has bootloader version 0.86.0000 it worked
then hit a brick wall with this step '10. Type “./gfree” and hit enter.' we get a permission denied error.
i have also tried this method several times:
5. open android terminal emulator
type in "su" then click entet (without " mark)
it will probably say permission is denied
type in "su" again, then click enter
supper user will pop up asking for permission click "allow"
type in "cd /sdcard/root" then click enter
type in "sh root.sh" then click enter
give a min or two when it says turn off and go into recovery to check if s is on or off, exit out of emulator
6. turn off the phone, then reboot into hboot by holding volume down and power button
7. it should say S=OFF
but after the reboot in step 6 it is still s-on
hboot-0.86.0000
hoping someone can help
oh and i followed the steps to a T, thanks for any info
So you are able to temproot? Does typing "su" in terminal emulator give you superuser privileges (if the prompt symbol changes to a # instead of a $, it worked)?
If so, make sure you've downloaded the gfree files and copied them to the proper place. You want the files themselves to be in /data/local on the phone. You do NOT want a folder named "gfree" containing these files. The commands should work exactly as written.
I'm the one that was helping the op. Does the gfree folder need to be renamed or does the files need to be moved out of the folder and placed in /data/local directly? I rooted with the above method in like 5 minutes but when I tried with the op we got ./gfree permission denied as stated above. Thanks for your help it's much appreciated and we'll post back with results.
that worked perfectly!! had to take the files out of the gfree and put them directly in local and rename the gfree folder something else. Thanks!
okay we got it figured out and s-off. For those wondering if you manually add the files through root explorer copy the files in the gfree folder and drag them to /data/local and paste. Do not put the gfree folder in /data/local. Thanks again jdkoren for the help!
would it work if you just put the files on your sd card instead? Also its a brand new mytouch 4g correct? Meaning bought in 2011? I just bought one and the unlockr method didnt work. Im going to try the method you guys did next and i saw a video in which the guy did the same thing (gfree version) but just changed data local to sdcard. Im just wondering because im about to root soon. Thanks.
Yes it was bought in 2011. Use the guide found here briefmobile just make sure to use root explorer and copy all the files inside the gfree folder and paste them to /data/local.
Hi everyone,
I have a MT4G, 2.2.1, kernel 2.6.32.21-g899d047. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit.
I want to root the phone but I am meeting a lot of permission issues.
I have been following this guide: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=TMobile_myTouch_4G:_Full_Update_Guide
At the very beginning, I had problems with su and Superuser.apk.
I have used 'adb devices' to check that my phone is indeed detected.
I put su and Superuser.apk into the same directory as
When I use 'adb push su /sdcard/su', I receive an error saying 'Failed to copy 'su' to '/sdcard/su': Permission denied. Same error for Superuser.apk.
I looked further down the guide and noticed that I would not actually be using the su and Superuser.apk at all and simply copied it over to the SD card itself when I plug the phone into my computer.
I then go into terminal emulator on the phone and I run rage and received the 'Forked #### childs' message, after which I reset term.
I assume I have root shell at this point because I am no longer on $, but instead on #.
At this point, I am able to adb push gfree (the one file gfree) into /data/local. I am able chmod 777 from adb.
When I go into terminal emulator again, I run '/data/local/gfree -f' but it gives me the error message of '/data/local/gfree: permission denied'
What am I doing wrong? I used 'ls -l' inside the directory of /data/local and I have complete rights for gfree (drwxrwxrwx).
----
I have also attempted to use VISIONary+ (R14) but all it does is flash a couple of times then go back to the app page where you choose to temproot. I check my app drawer and Superuser is indeed there, but if I tried to go into terminal, I am met with $. I tried entering 'su' but it would say unknown user root.
----
PLEASE HELP! THANKS!
Use this method. It's pretty much fool proof.

Yes but I was attempting to follow a whole new guide. Regardless, I have shell root but I am still unable to run gfree. It still shows permission denied (again, using ls -l, I can see that gfree is drwxrwxrwx).
Use visionary 11. I have rooted 4 MT4G's with that guide and visionary 11...It works.
before you attempt a new rooting method please pull the battery and let the phone sit for a few moments. Since your s-on it will delete any unwanted files that you may of tried to push to the phone.
and type in
Code:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
That will refresh the adb server on your computer.
you'll also need to change the directory to the folder where you stored the gfree files.

I have 'Set system r/w after root' checked. I don't need to check 'Run visionary.sh' and 'Root on boot', do I?

Tried with those settings and now I've lost root shell. I'm on $ and entering su gives me unknown user root.
VISIONary says device is rooted when I try to run it again.
I would check the root on boot, reboot, uncheck it, go into terminal and put in the su command and see what happens...your phone will be really laggy when you boot it up, so give it a minute, it is normal.

Do i uncheck and then reboot or just uncheck and go straight into terminal?
check everything including the root on boot. Reboot the phone. Then you can go straight into terminal or uncheck it and go into terminal..doesn't matter. Just make sure before you reboot a second time that root on boot is not checked.
