Hey guys ill be joining this side of the forums now on monday and I'm really excited. Just I'm kinda confused about a few things and I was wondering if anyone could help enlighten a few things for me.
I know what Root is, S-off, Cid yada yada and I'm not new to rooting at all. I have adb and etc and I kinda want to do this on ubuntu because my vista is kind of janky at times.
Now apparently there is Temporary Root and Permanent Root and of course I want Permanent root, s-off, etc.
1.Now from what I read there has been apparently an update that updated the G2 to 1.22 or something like that? I read its rootable apparently but you need a windows application called gfree or something? Is this possible to do using just ubuntu?
2. Now to obtain root, s-off etc do I have to obtain temporary root first, then permanent root? Its kinda confusing coming in a noob to this device and trying to figure this all out. And do the methods vary with which firmwire your phone comes with? I'm assuming mines will come with the newest OTA since I'm receiving it Monday.
3. Also from what I'm seeing apparently having S-off and root and what not matters on what rom your running also? I don't want to flash a rom then end up loosing root or something. And Noo I DO NOT want to stay stock once I obtain root. I'm kind of a flashoholic.
Thanks to anyone willing to help I really appreciate it.

Shouldn't yall warn him about using VISIONary first? SOMETIMES, no NOT all the time but SOMETIMES people get stuck in a boot loop from using the VISIONary method. I would not recommended it, if you have know how to use ADB, use it. I'm pretty sure that they have ADB for Linux because they do have the Android SDK on Linux(at least I think they do). All you need to do in order to root with the safer/recommended way is ADB. All you have to do is ADB Push some files to your phone then run them on your phone's Terminal Emulator App, its pretty simple. Though I have not personally rooted a G2 yet(I get mine tomorrow) but I have spent at least a week learning about how to root the G2.
Check out the wiki, explains how to root using rage+gfree.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
I followed these instructions and rooted my phone fairly easily.

First of all follow the link I gave him, did you bother to do that, there was a warning, second of all I've helped a lot of people root following the videos and have had zero bricks as long as they do everything I posted in the link, third I rooted this way with zero problems, when people brick their phones its not visionary that bricks phones it people that think they know how to properly use visionary when they don't that bricks phones, its not just pressing the " attempt perm root" button to root your phone, you have to press certain settings in order to use it right.

You may be right, but all the bricks that I have seen on this forum are from people using the VISIONary app. I haven't seen a single person brick using the Rage and GFree method.

Alright and how would one fix a boot loop caused by Rage and GFree? I have searched before but I never found anything on it.
EDIT: And if you could, please show me some links with people stuck in a boot loop caused by Rage and GFree, I would like to read it and learn from their mistakes so that I don't do them.

hey david279, which radio(bandbase) did you have on your new G2 when you rooted with GFree?
Hmm just to make shure. I obtain root first, then use that gfree app on my rooted vision to get sim unlock, s-off etc?
Never mind just read it. This is actually really simple. *facepalm* sorry guys for the thread space ill get my topic removed.
I had the 26.03.02.26. I updated it to the newest one in the radio thread in the dev forum. I gotta use to those long radio version numbers.

Thanks, just confirming that 26.03.02.26 was still rootable with the wiki root instructions, there seems to be some confusion about if you can still root the 26.03.02.26 radio with the wiki, and you just confirmed that you still can.
Thanks Again, and happy flashing.
Rooting this phone reminded me of when I had a hero. That simple. I got a evo too and that was something to root when it first was released.

Exactly the info I was looking for I will be rooting later today.
First time rooter here and was wondering if there is a simple way to go by doing this. I know there is visionary and gfree method. But my issue is that if I need to unroot (say I need to exchange it out for another one if something goes wrong) which one is the best to go by or is there an even more simpler way? Or do I need to even unroot? Like in other words, will they not care if it is rooted or not? I also have the monthly $5 warranty if that helps.
Thanx
P.s. How likely are the chances of me bricking the phone?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
This method (Click Here ) is the simplest with the LEAST chance of bricking your phone. (make sure to follow the link at the bottom of the page).
Now the good thing is if you use that method and do not flash the engineering screen "unrooting" the phone can be done the very same way. You will need the "unroot.sh" file script (Which can be downloaded from here) to do that but is very possible.
gfree method is reverse-able I think. you need to back up the file(s) made during gfree process.

It is reversible. but the root.sh method is much easier for one worried about bricking a device.
that all depends on what you plan on doing with your rooted phone. if you wanna flash roms and all that fun stuff a temp root will not turn s=off so it wont work. the gfree method is the only root method i could get to work on mine and i tried all of them.

If you have a problem with the root.sh script method of rooting your phone SOMETHING (more times than not, it's the user) is seriously jacked.
The root.sh will turn s=off easily and painlessly. it will allow you do do what ever you want to do in a rooted state minus flashing splash screen. Which you need an Engineering HBoot for that. Even the ./gfree method will not flash that it has to manually be done.
I had my s=off prior to leaving the T-Mobile store the day i bought my MyTouchHD using the root.sh method.
i would be willing to unroot my phone back to a stock format and reroot & flash CM7 with that method if you would like me to, and let you see via youtube.
Like I said, im kinda new at this and a vid would be really helpful to the best root for me. Also I wanted to root my phone so I can get gingerbread on it (phone ruins alot smoother from what I hear) and is it a difficult process to unroot from a permroot through visionary plus.

Well it is now official that gingerbread has been leak/released for our G2 and I'm sure lot of us who had soft bricks are happy to know we can unbrick it and now to our next problem rooting it
I have tried 2 ways so far first is the wiki way with psneutur and gfree, and other is temp root with visionary
My results for both came negative,
Gfree/ psneutur gave me permission denied after I pushed it in
Visionary jus gave me black screen
And gingerbreak requirs s-off
So let's gather info and or figure out a way to root new gingerbread if any tried downgrade method let all us know with steps what you did
Here is the info for new gingerbread
Ship s-on
Hboot 0.82.0008
Radio 26.08.04.30M3
eMMC-boot
Apr 13 2011,
So hope we can find solution to root and we can get custom roms back on it
you need to try to gain temproot with gingerbreak. can you please come over #g2root ?
I just said I tempted and it just stuck on trying to root nothing happen and I will go what irc server? Freenode?

Visionary (as evidence by the sticky at the top of the dev phone saying DONT USE VISIONARY TO PERM ROOT) has bricked many a phones that have only now been able to be fixed. I think its just a trust issue and comes to down to each individual and what they personally think and believe I personally would never use visionary again no matter how many times its updated or "fixed". The trust has been broken.
Idk why there's hate on visionary... I rooted my phone the second day the process was released and I've never had an issue since...? And I've rooted 2 other g2s well after and still never had any issues... just followed instructions. I understand it can brick your phone, but then again... was it really visionary that bricked it? Or was it an user error placing blame?? Just saying....
Sent from my HTC Desire Z/G2 using XDA App
yeah i rooted my g2 using the visionary method and have had no issues. and it seems like a lot of the bricking has occurred since i rooted, so i dont get it.
i did visionary root with success, but put yourself in the other end of ppls shoes who did use visinary an you get a brick and no way out of it, other than have gfree with jus pushing, and everythign else is done for you, i would go that route than a higher chance of bricking,
But this thread is not bout bricking this is about how to obtain root on the new stock rom that is out
Yes please! if anyone finds out how to root the G2 with stock Gingerbread could you please post! thanks in advance!

user error? lol in a one-click root... maybe they were pressing the top right corner of the button and that's their error lol
I don't know, either, but there has to be some reasonable explanation, doesn't there? After all, many people (myself included) had no trouble rooting with Visionary. OTOH, this is my second G2 - the first went back under warranty. With the first one, Visionary was unsuccessful at perm-rooting. This one, worked on the first try. Odd? Computers are NOT supposed to behave randomly - so why the difference?
when someone comes up with the visionary source, there are people that can understand it. until then it's a black box.
+1
I'm in the same boat. I just got a brand new G2 off craigslist, and was very happy to see that it had gingerbread. But to my extreme dissappointment, I cannot root it or downgrade it to gain root. Below are the things I have tried and didnt work.
Visionary
Gingerbreak (v1,0, 1.1, 1.2)
Rage
Super One-click
Z4Root
Androot
Gold card, for downgrading, also tried Gold card with above root methods.
I have also tried taking the stock Froyo PC10IMG and modified the info txt to read it as a newer version, and it loaded it, checked it, then just went back to the bootloader screen like there was no image there at all. Last night I was thinking that if I pulled the internal battery (the little tiny one) then it would lose its info, allowing me to load any PC10IMG I wanted. NOPE. Rom and all its info and settings are still intact. Weird, cuz I thought that's what that little battery was for. So, I'm out of options. I love the rom, it's fast as hell and the battery life is far better than when I had my last G2. I just wanna overclock, add some sounds without using Zedge or something (want internal mods that arent dependant on memory using apps), and do some theming. Oh, and removing that horrible pink bloat >:]
I just know that our awesome Devs will come up with something.
XDA ROCKS!!!!!
Waiting?!
Any updates regarding the root?
I tried everything, and nothing works.
I even tried to resend it to the repair center to get froyo, they returned it back saying that they could no longer Downgrade it!
well this is my argument, you can call them and ask them for one that is froyo
complain to them that you have netflix and paying for a service to use on your phone reason why you got it, and since "THEY" updated and made it unsuably they are obligated to give you one that can use netflix or a replacement that can use it as they have done something that was not confirmed with you if you sent it for simple repair, you did not get your phone back to how it was you got something different...
start this fight you will probably end up with a mytouch 4g

Hi!
The config options that you would have to change are written to the emmc on partition17 (main version) or partition7 (S-OFF, SuperCID, SIM-Lock) so that will not change if you pull any kind of battery.
The only chance to root this rom is that we find a new temp-root method and then do the usual things (misc_version, goldcard, downgrade, gfree, ...)
I do not expect that someone publishes a new temp-root before either T-Mobile/HTC rolled out the OTA or a different device running 2.3.4 really needs it.
Have fun - Guhl

That and they don't understand how this phones works. Anything that is done in a "Temp rooted" state will be returned to an OE fashion once the phone is turned off. So even if you do delete it. It'll come back.
I want to temp root because im scared to downgrade and perm root.
Well, looks like you're out of luck. Temp-rooting won't get you anywhere, since the system is protected by the bootloader lock, and without perm-root you won't be able to do anything. As already stated, all you do under temp-root will not stick, and will be lost on first reboot.
So you either give up the idea of messing with the stock OS altogether, or grab the balls to do a downgrade and perm-root. Nothing left in between...
Rooting this particular phone is what makes it really worth having it, IMO, so long as you're comfortable with the process.

Pretty much sums it up. Why would you want to send your AMAZING mytouch to a stranger?
Follow directions. You'll be fine.
you know, if you're so scared too even just root your device, then you'll have MANY more problems later on. cause guess what? after rooting your device doesn't mean everything is safe and easy. it's EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE. rooting your device means giving yourself admin rights to do anything you want to your device, and if you so scared you can't even go through the process of giving yourself those rights, then you shouldn't even be thinking about rooting.
just a thought.
also, do you really trust a stranger to screw around with your phone like that? they won't pay the fee if they break it, YOU are the one that's going to pay.
and of course.... PLEASE POST IN THE CORRECT FORUMS
to be honest... the mytouch 4g is a PAIN in the asss to root.... i mean... gfree method is the best... but downgrading it was a *****.... i did it after a whole day of reading and watching youtube and trying n trying n trying... i mean im an expert now on this device... and i think its one of the BEST phones in the android dev world... considering the amount of development on it... rooting it and using a new kernal rom combo... makes this phone a different device entirely... i might have a SGSII (T989) but this little mytouch kicks ass... n e way, i dont mind helping u out... just learn how to flash roms n kernals ur self... PM me if u want my help
Downgrading is easy: all u need is the PD15IMG.zip. But that's downgrading back to stock. This fone is the best since I've been rooting, back since the G1 days. There is a section for that zip, look into the Rom bible.

you need 2.2 in zip format so you'll rename it into PD15IMG.zip, but it in the root of your SD card, enter boot-loader & it automatically will do the rest..

Would you like to downgrade my Mytouch 4G with android 2.3.4 back to 2.2???
I desperately want this thing rooted but know nothing of the process of downgrading. And even after reading about it briefly, I think I'll let someone who knows this stuff better do the work...
I can mail it anywhere in the US and even paypal you to do it...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'll do it.

if you follow the instructions on the cyanogenmod wiki about htc glacier you can do it. Just make sure to check the MD5 after the download to avoid any issues and bricking problems. I have downgraded and rooted 2 glaciers with that method. Again if you can not trust yourself to do that much on your own I agree with the others you should not be rooting in the first place.
Its really not that hard, there are plenty of instructions on how to do it in these forums. I never did it before, and it took me 20 mins to downgrade and then root. and this was reading the instructions as I went.
Check your chip type first, make sure you have the good one and then just read the forums. You can do it, and if you cant, maybe you shouldnt have it.
