Please help, I'm trying to root so I can run netflix on mt4g, almost there (i think)
Tysvm2: the folks that wrote: the true root article @
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
I am trying to flash a custom recovery and rom (hoping to do: panache or CM7 and twrp recovery
(PG86IMG.zip) My end goal is to run netflix app on htc glacier)
I have succeeded in setting up ADB/SDK drivers, etc.
On hboot i see: S=off
I am having a PROBLEM with TRUE ROOT gfree method
At step 12. It says:
"If this is the first time you have rooted your device you will need to run visionary again (temproot w/set system r/w after root checked and then attempt permroot) to make root privileges permanent and then reboot again. Now "su" should work properly for you."
I've run into a problem :
I restarted in hboot and I see s=off but when I try to open terminal:
It reads:
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$su
PERMISSION DENIED
I tried to run temproot and permroot on visionary + R14 to "seal the deal" & move onto install of the engineering bootloader
It appears I am stuck in between temproot and perm root won't stick for some reason ...
FYI: all sorts of apps force closed immediately after reboot after I ran the reboot it says s=off and has bootloader version 0.86.0000
I just did:
1. a factory reset from hboot
2. Reinstalled visionary + R14
3. And ... astro file manager, terminal emulator app and easy installer, etc
4. i have all the files that the TRUE ROOT thread reccomended but terminal emulator says permission denied when I type: su
PERMISSION DENIED
It looks to me like visionary Is not properly establishing temp root or perm root after s=off.
Suggestions please.
thank you,
CP
HTC GLACIER
s=off
bootloader version 0.86.0000
also: HTC DREAM aka Tmobile g1 rooted with cyanogen old school
Ps: I'm new to the forum culture and I want to be sure to be respectful and post properly; if this is not a proper place for this kind of question please redirect me patiently
Try the older verson of Visionary. R11 I believe. This has come up before and it has worked for other people.
If you have already received the OTA, use Gingerbreak or fre3vo method for temp root instead of Visionary.
I suggest to flash engineering bootloader ASAP, it'll save you the question next time, by allowing to flash custom recovery (thus enabling root by flashing any su.zip package) at any time, independent of the ROM.
I got a replacement phone, and this is what I had to do...
1. Install Visionary r14 and Terminal Emulator
2. Download gfree file and move to phone
3. Temproot (with r/w switched on), then su on TE, then run gfree*
4. Reboot and validate S=OFF
5. Temproot again (with r/w switched on), then click on Permroot
Hi Thank you for your reply, I tried visionary r11 but when I installed it would not run (perhaps i installed the wrong one) my easy install app read it as visionary 1.0 is that the same as R11?
Thank you for your reply but i tried this:

It's the last download link."
But my easy install app calls it visionary 1.0 (is that the same as R11?) And it did not work ... it won't even open up, can you tell me do you have any experience with:
Jack R_1's suggestion: "If you have already received the OTA, use Gingerbreak or fre3vo method for temp root instead of Visionary."
What are benefits of gingerbreak vs. fre3vo? I just want to be sure to be careful so as to not brick my baby.
If you already have Radio S-OFF, have you tried flashing custom recovery via fastboot flash recovery? Or does your bootloader version not allow that?
Also try this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15943010&postcount=6
I only know about gingerbreak not the other one, it will use a new exploit to gain perm root under gingerbread. But if you have the new OTA that's gingerbread 2.3.4 I think it won't work. Others have upgraded to the new OTA and can't root again, why? Since a new Radio and I think SPL are in this new OTA. And HTC has used a new security method to prevent such things as rooting.

Flash the .85 engineering bootloader with adb and then clockworkmod from fastboot. You then can use the rooted nandroid backup in rom Bible (if you want to stay stock). Once you do that happy flashing. If you need any help pm me

Wait, he can't gain even temp root huh. NM your sol until a dev figures out how to root the gingerbread rom.
Its kind of a long shot. Since you have s-off you can try using the PD15IMG.ZIP from hboot and root the froyo rom. Not sure if that will work or not

I'm using MIUI, I was asking cause I have a friend who's stuck on the new OTA since they accidentally flashed the non-rooted version of the OTA, probably since all of them had the same title and he didn't read...
Okay let me ask this: What about packing an unsigned PD15IMG.zip with ENG HBOOT and/or ClockworkMod Recovery and nothing else inside it? If you have Radio S-OFF, this image should be accepted by the bootloader and give you a route back to root.
I don't know if such a .zip has been made yet for the MT4G but it's not impossible. It's been done for the S-OFF Sensation:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122053
See "ENG Hboot" - there is a PG58IMG.zip file there, and there is another under "Here is the download link to recovery".
Again this thread has nothing to do with the MT4G but it's the same principle.
So... if there is anyone out there who knows how to pack a PD15IMG.zip for a Radio S-OFF device, please speak up and help out the OP!
Interesting, I think all you need to do is replace the file inside of zip but not totally sure.
Sent from my Google Nexus 12! yup I'm from the future
What I don't know is if the zip has to be constructed in some particular way to be accepted as valid, even with S-OFF. But yeah, there should be a way to flash CWM to the S-OFF bootloader.

Are you on 2.2.1 or are you on 2.3.?
Okay I'm just poking around blindly in the dark here... I'm not a developer, just a script tinkerer... but if you're brave enough...
I grabbed one of the PD15IMG.zip radio files from the Dev section just to obtain the proper android-info.txt file. Then I created a new zip containing only:
- android-info.txt
- CWM version 3.0.2.4 for Glacier, in .img format, renamed to recovery.img
I've attached it here. Rename it to PD15IMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD, and try booting into HBOOT and see if it prompts you to install the zip. If so, does it succeed?
If yes, then try booting into recovery. Do you get Clockwork?
If it does not succeed, please report any error messages.
I highly doubt this can damage your phone because your ROM is still bootable and your bootloader still works, so the worst you could get is a bad recovery that you have to fix up. But I hold no liability for anything that gets borked
Hi, I have a Desire Z that I purchased used and now realized has been modified in some way before. It was at some Froyo version, but then I applied the OTA gingerbread update because I did not know at the time that it was modified. It is carrier unlocked for sure. In the boot loader it has the following settings:
VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.0013
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.10.04.12_M
eMMC-boot
Apr 11 2011, 23;36;2
it has S-Off, but it does not have root. I've tried to flash a recovery using android flasher, but it did not work. Although It has s-off, I am not sure if still keeps it, after upgrade from stock froyo to stock gingerbread, as it is called in the xda wiki as false s-0ff after upgrading.
I do not know if there is any chance to cause any damage on the phone. I would be very gratefull if anyone can give me an answer how to preceed to install the recovery.
Many thanks,

If you're S-OFF you should be able to flash a pre-rooted ROM via PC10IMG.zip via bootloader, and then flash a Recovery... technically, the 2.3 update is not rootable at this time. One usually has to downgrade first, but since you're S-OFF... I'm thinking you should be okay. Do some research though... perhaps someone else can confirm this?
Yes, I am currently doing a lot of research, but I am getting confused.
I though in the same lines as you do, but after a read this from xda-developers http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision, after that... I do not know how to proceed, I am stuck.
'I got with the firmware 1.72x, and as it is described in this post, after the update I should only have a false s-off, and no PC10IMG though bootloader is goig to work.'
I really do not know, but any help will be very greatful,
Hi, I do not know whether the solution is raised here on xda, but as something you can restore as described in the Polish formum DZ - http://forum.android.com.pl/f244/tu...fon-po-rootowaniu-do-stanu-pierwotnego-92344/
I think that with the help of "Google translate" translate, this method works 100% same-it's restored by this method.
Gotten it!!! I downloaded 1.34.405.5_PC10IMG.zip renamed to PC10IMG.zip and flashed it via hboot. It worked!
Is it possible to install virtuous unity rom from there, by renaming to PC10IMG.zip, and flashed it? or do I need to install a custom recovery first?
Many thanks guys

The very first thing you need is a Recovery. Followed by a NANDroid backup, IMO. 4EXT Recovery (link in my signature) is wonderful. But ClockworkMod is great too. Just stick with version 3.0.2.4. So you have root now? You've got Superuser and all is well? That's awesome.
Nop, I am not root, it s stuck on 1.34.405.x stock, no recovery, nothing. So rooting is next.
Do you know any thread I can follow to root a stock 1.34xxx already s-off
I ve been searching around, and I bookmarked some relevant stuff, but I have no much time to spare on that, so I would appreciate any thread that goes straight into matter, that you may know and it includes the files needed (if possible)..
It s been three years since I started with android I followed all the versions, I rooted the g1, which I am still using quite often, I also rooted my girlfriend's my touch 3g, and now... its time for the desire z.
I'm going ahead !!!
follow this guide
But change the gfree from "./gfree -f -b hboot-eng.img -y recovery.img"
to just "./gfree -b hboot-eng.img -y recovery.img"
that should sort it all out.

Many thanks guys, I am nearly there...
Is this the exact command? my device is already, s-off, superCid, and sim-unlock (xtc clip). I do not have a clue about gfree either. Maybe I screw it all!!
That command I posted will flash a eng hboot and cwm recovery, the -f option is for s-off, supercid and sim-unlock, but seeing as we have these its unnecesary.
So yes, it is the exact command you need. Be sure to check the md5's though!

do not lose the S-off updating for Hboot?
it's done, I just released my desire z, it is free !!! Many many thanks...
I have a MT4G in which I unlocked the bootloader and tried to flash a custom ROM. Prior to that I did my level best to attain root by the available methods but could not achieve s-off. However the unlocked bootloader would not allow the custom ROM to boot and in my stupidity I did not make a nandroid before flashing. I am now stuck at the myTouch logo and thats it.
I tried to flash the stock roms but I keep getting mainver is older; update fail. I tried the 1.17.531.2 and the 2.19.531.1 but they both give me the same thing. Am I screwed or is there any hope for my phone?

Did you use htc dev to unlock it? Relock it and follow the steps in the dev section. So you can go into bootloader? Push PD[whatever].img and the bootloader will detect it
I did relock it but it keeps giving me the mainver is older message and saying that update failed.
Solved! Thanks
finally i was able to find the right .img and flash that through fastboot and got a working phone again! thank you for your help!
Its such a horrible feeling when you are trying to get S-OFF and get stuck with a bootloop. I'm glad you figured it out.
You can flash any custom Rom, but before you do, unzip the Rom , and place the "boot.img" from the custom Rom, in your adb/fastboot folder, and flash it like you did to get it working again. I did it for awhile until I decided to relock & root properly.
**by the way..I hate the topic title! You are not stupid..you just made a MINOR mistake, which is the best tool you can use to learn by! I know how it is to be impatient, & just jump in and start flashing and not reading in advance. But its no biggie..

If you have relocked it, there is a guide, just do a search for it, or I will in a lil bit, I'm in a meeting. But basically just go to the wiki section & follow the downgrade guide...then the Ultimate s-off guide. But make sure you have the files that are in the links within the guides b4 you start, put them in the proper place (adb/fastboot folder)

i have S-off but i have no root or recovery! please someone help! i need to get this phone back to stock!
Run PD15IMG.zip. It will flash the stock recovery and set everything back to stock. You should be good to send your phone back after that.
When I had that problem flashing the pd15.img did not turn S-on.
If your still on 2.2.1 you need to temp root with visionary and run gfree to turn S back on.
If your on gingerbread (2.3) you'll have to downgrade back to 2.2.1 before you can run gfree.
After turning S-on reflash a stock pd15.img and you'll be back to stock.
For more info read the rooting guide in the sticky section. I think its the one by grankin01. Its the one that says check this out even if your rooted.

He needs to use grankin01's guide to get S-ON once he get back to froyo and then reflash froyo PD15IMG to restore everything back to stock.
Because he used gfree to acquire S-OFF, just flashing the PD15IMG.zip won't turn the security flag on. It does for root.sh, but not gfree.

I thought I remembered that the guide said how you could use gfree to turn S-on as well.

yes correct. i have the stock rom with root privileges.
i am trying to get EVERYTHING back to stock, hboot ( i have the hboot 0.85.2007), Security back to on, and the original 2.3.4 rom
I'll "translate":
There is no T-Mobile "stock" 2.3.4 with root. It's a pre-rooted 2.3.4, that you flashed from CWM recovery. The stock is not rootable, and should have been downgraded at some point to achieve S-OFF.
In any case, if S-OFF was achieved through gfree, you need to rerun gfree to return to S-ON. Judging by this thread, it's going to be way over your head.
So, my suggestion:
1) Go to the downgrading thread (search, don't ask), run "misc_partition" command on your current ROM.
2) Copy PD15IMG.ZIP of 2.3.4 to SD card and proceed with returning to stock. You'll most likely stay S-OFF, but otherwise have a completely stock ROM.
If it sounds too complicated - wait for someone to explain it better, or start reading to understand, what to do. Everything you need is in the guides, you just need to understand what things do and how to use it for your case.

You need to learn to use Google. You got yourself into a situation you don't know how to get yourself out of because you decided not to do your research. Now you are refusing to research again. I will give you a link to a 5 minute adb/fastboot install, but you get to use Google to figure out how to use it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928370
Just one additional clarification:
fastboot won't help him, since he's on stock HBOOT that will refuse fastboot.
What he can do, is to look for "root for s-off" thread, that has the required PD15IMG and instructions to get ONLY the engineering HBOOT and custom recovery in place.
If he won't find it - means he doesn't need to be rooted in first place.
From the custom recovery he'll need to find and install Superuser/SuperSU ZIP. And it's described in the thread.

You must have gotten S-Off with gfree. A PD15IMG.zip flash won't turn the security flag on when you use gfree.
Also, Jack_R1 was very helpful as well. He simply wants people to do their research and know how to solve a problem before they run into it, as do I.
Hopefully, now you know what happened, why, and how to fix it in the future if you or another person get into the same situation or a similar one. Good luck, and enjoy your phone!

I was gonna get in earlier because i had this same issue but since jack and estallings were helping you, i didn't. Here is what you do.
-Go to the downgrade guide, download fr3vo
-Use the guide to achieve temp root, no need to downgrade android version or anything, just get temproot
-The above step should give you permaroot

I was gonna get in earlier because i had this same issue but since jack and estallings were helping you, i didn't. Here is what you do.
-Go to the downgrade guide, download fr3vo
-Use the guide to achieve temp root, no need to downgrade android version or anything, just get temproot
-The above step should give you permaroot
-Get Rom Manager and flash clockwork
-There ya go

ok thanks and all but after i flash clockwork recovery then what.... and if ur saying then flash the rooted rom i cant because it says you NEED perma root but all i have is s-off (through gfree method) ok ok so once i temproot it should give me perm root?
but if i have perm root what would i need to flash clockwork (what im saying is why would i need to flash a rooted 2.3.4 rom)
