I was hoping I could have some light for me on my issue that i'm having.
I installed Visionary / checked off temp root boot / made sure debugging was on hit temp root now and then I went in to the terminal and am able to get into SU / cd /sdcard/root sh root.sh
but after this when I Reboot and I hold down the volume button that new screen pops up but it says
S = ON
How do i get that to say off
Try grankins method. It worked for me. I couldn't get s-off with any other method and I tried them all. Did his method in one try and have had s-off since then.

I stalled visionary from akaskriller.com since it wasnt on the market. I installed rom manger, titanium back up. Uinstalled some bloatware etc... But how do I know if im temp or perm rooted?????
Uncheck "run on boot" option in Visionary, pull your battery, restart the phone and try running su in terminal emulator. If you get permission denied - you're temp rooted.
Ok km going to try it now

Manual method is soooooo easy I don't understand the desire to use VISIONary+ for permroot. Its not even real permanent root.
S-OFF is NEEDED for custom ROMs... so if you don't want to use custom ROMS, stick with temproot with VISIONary+
If you DO want custom ROMS and true R/W access, do the manual method. I see 0 point in using the one click permroot.

Not really, you have have s=off and not be rooted. all s=off means is the security protocol will not check to see if the phone has been tampered with. IF you have s=off and you go to visionary and click "temp toot" then "perm root" your phone will be rooted until you unroot it. Since the security protocol will not remove the SU access.
i have rooted two glaciers with no problem but the second was a twain made device and the screen have me bugging out.
The one that i have now is perfect but i can not root. I have tried every method and after every method failed i did a master rest and tried different ones but no breakthrough.

Have you tried the ./gfree method? the root.sh script method?
I have tried the visionary way but s is still on.
Gfree gave my computer a virus so I was being on the safe side and not trying that again.

WTF? gfree gave you virus? care to elaborate on that? that is the first time I heard of this in XDA. Far as Visionary go did you follow it exact step by step?
I did everything they told me for visionary.
But with gfree when setting up adb the link from google some reason gave me a virus from the recommend download

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.

That's the link to the thread to the leaked rom. I was wondering if I have to be rooted to install and if not how do I install it?? Many thanks.
You have to be rooted because you have to be able to get into recovery to wipe everything before flashing, none of which is possible without root. although in all the root guides it states that it's difficult blah blah blah it really isn't. I rooted with gfree and visionary.
download gfree and visionary
temproot using visionary
unzip the gfree files (androzip) to data/local/ (you must have a root explorer)
after you've done that go into terminal emulator (free from market)
type su to gain superuser permissions
Type "cd data/local/"
then hit enter and type: "chmod 777 gfree"
Then after that type in "./gfree -f"
All of which you leave out quotation marks then reboot. after that go to visionary and check set system R/W and hit "attempt permroot now"
This is essentially the stickied thread in the development section just without the warning signs everywhere although you MUST be careful and if you don't understand any of it feel free to ask a question. Welcome to the forums by the way
Basic Disclaimer: I'm in no way responsible for you getting fired because your phone crapped out and your alarm didn't go off or you are now a proud owner of a brick due to not following my directions.
You need to get rooted
S-off your phone.
Root your phone.
And then get your phone engnieering bootloader (0.85.2007)---strongly recommended.
Isn't this a 2.2 mysense(froyo) rom? So basically is stock. Why wouldn't it be able to be flashed through the stock 2.2 mysense(froyo) recovery? Just wondering.

Because the one that's being distributed by faux has root and well honestly I don't know about the leak...you could try naming it Update.zip and putting on root of sdcard then booting into stock recovery. If that doesn't work keep it named what it was when downloaded then try. But I must ask why don't you just root?

S-off and root are essentially hand in hand now.

You do not need to have s-off. Look in the dev section and there is a thread with a link to the Rom to flash through hboot.
You will only need to rename the file and copy it to the root of your SD card. Reboot your phone into hboot. Profit.
Hope that helps.

im pretty sure rename to PD15IMG.zip. i believe its the only way the bootloader will read it. i might be wrong.

Sorry if this has been covered before, but I searched up and down XDA and google for a solution. Here is the deal; Im trying to root my phone and Im having some issues. Im getting unknown user root in Terminal when I try to run the commands from this thread.I have both versions of Visionary and I believe I have temp rooted the phone. This is where it starts to get strange. Superuser.apk is installed, but Im never prompted for SU permissions. The only app that requested it was Visionary when I tried the permaroot option. Also, I got the system to be r/w via visionary, so I tried to delete some bloat. I used root explorer to do so. But the apks I deleted are still in the app drawer, and after reboot, are still in system/app. Im really super confused by all of this, and hope you guys can give me a hand. This is a little bit different then rooting my vibrant lol.

I still get unknown user root in terminal.
Go to theunlockr.com and find the mytouch write ups there. They are root.sh method and garanteed to work. There both how to gain root and s-off write ups there.
Its what I used and is super simple. I've rooted countless mytouch with the same write up.

Do you run Visionary+ before typing "su" in Terminal Emulator?
Does it complete successfully?
Can you try to run any other root program (like Titanium Backup) to verify that you actually have root access?

yes
yes
and I tried with setcpu, no root was detected.
Try another version of Visionary+, because the current version doesn't root you.
Make sure that you are indeed on 2.2.1, because if you're on 2.3.4 - Visionary can't root at all.

I had the same problem last week when trying to root my replacement phone after downgrading it to 2.2.1. The visionary app that I used before didn't work this time. I had to download it again and this time it worked. Before deleting the current visionary app make sure to clear it's data prior to uninstalling it then reboot the phone then try again. That worked for me!
Since you've already tried rooting it with so many methods, I'll suggest you restore the phone to factory settings and start over.
