If you think you could hang with typing some pretty long instructions using terminal emulator, it can be done manually. It's not for the faint of heart... and if you typed in the wrong bml and screw up your phone, it wouldn't be my fault.
If you can hang with that, then cool, I could post some instructions. All this is just so much easier though with the one click method.

Ok how long is it and how do I do it
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

OK...
Firstly, root the phone with z4root from the market. Also get Astro file manager and Android Terminal Emulator from the market while you're there. Connectbot can also be used as a terminal.
Download the one click root 1.4.0 from noobnl to your phone. Extract the contents using Astro file manager. Copy the following files and put them on the root of your sdcard:
redbend_ua
zImage
Now open the terminal app, and type the following commands exactly:
Code:
su
cat /sdcard/redbend_ua > /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua
/data/local/tmp/redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml8
Your phone will reboot after the flash.
Remember to type the commands exactly.

OK, if you want to cleanup afterwards, go back into terminal and type the following commands:
Code:
su
rm /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua
I will encourage anyone who reads this to not play with redbend_ua unless you know what you are doing. These instructions will work if done exactly to the letter.
Once again, I take no responsibility if you hose your phone.

Also, make a backup with ClockworkMod after you install it, so you have your current rom saved, just in case.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Download rom manager, then use rom manager to download clockwork mod, then use astro which is a free app available in the market which is very useful, to open the sd card folder, then go to clockwork mod folder then copy recovery-update.zip and paste it to the root of your sd card and rename it just update. It's already a zip file so you don't have to type.zip. Now reboot into stock recovery and apply update.zip. Does not work with froyo. But if you down load the clockwork redirect, then you can install that once you get into clockwork recovery after you flash a froyo rom before you reboot. But using adb to flash the permanent clockwork kernel is the best way.....try this......update.zip method:
1. boot into ClockworkMod Recovery
2. Apply : http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/noobnl/clockworkmod2.5.1.0update-fixed.zip

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

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 #

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.

first things first did you ever turn "s" back on?
-turn the phone off, turn it on and hold the power button and the down volume rocker.
top line should tell you that.
If you are still s=off then all you need to do is download VISIONary.apk r14 and tap temp root.

i've never used r11, so i cannot answer that first hand. You should have a "unroot" button that will remove SU access.

@neidlinger i am having an extraordinary difficult time unrooting and changing S= OFF, to S= ON.
i feel like i am stuck somewhere in the middle. i am back to a stock rom using the file PD15img.zip and in terminal at the $ prompt when i type "su" it replies "permission denied". now here is the weird part. when i boot into recovery ( volume down, power button) and hit recovery it moves into the splash screen and then on to the dreaded read triangle..........once i hit vol up and power it boots into recov again.
any insight?

Well the "permission denied" just means you do not have SU access.
When you rooted your phone did you use the ./gfree method?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
1. Rename the part7backup file that you already have to something just so you know that it is the original backup.
2. Open up terminal emulator or adb shell and type "su" + enter to get root privileges.
3. Type "cd /data/local" and hit enter.
4. Now type "./gfree -f" + enter to run gfree again. It will disable wp on the emmc and remove the brq filter in the kernel. (as well as make another backup, which you can delete if you wish)
5. Now run the "dd if=/where/your/part7backup-numbers.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7" and it should show the output:
xxxx bytes in
xxxxbytes out
xxxxxxxxxx copied in blah blah blah
6. Run "sync" and then reboot. (I didn't do this and it worked fine but it won't hurt either. )
If you have the engineering hboot 0.85.2007 installed you will still be showing s=off when you do the above revert steps. Follow these steps to reflash the stock hboot and turn s=on:
Download this file and unzip it to /sdcard on your device.
unroot.rar
http://www.mediafire.com/?12oi5elu7v2y8og
md5sum: aad4e64126cf8d92d7e8b5abb48fdadd
Terminal Emulator Method
1. Open up terminal editor on your device.(I prefer this method b/c you can see the output.)
a. Type "su" + enter to gain root privileges.
b. Type "cd /sdcard/unroot" + enter.
c. Type "sh unroot.sh" + enter.
d. Follow the onscreen prompts.
File Explorer Method
2. Open root explorer, sufbs, or some other file browser with root access.
a. Navigate to /sdcard/unroot.
b. Click on unroot.sh and allow it to run. Some file browsers ask permission before they execute scripts.
c. Wait 18 to 20 seconds and reboot your phone into the bootloader to check if S=on.
You now have S=ON again.
