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.

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

okay. you need a total of three file. in the folder.
Do this,
1) use the Astro manager and go to /mnt/sdcard and create a folder. And name that folder "root" (all lower case). Or you can create a folder via a mounting the SDcard and using a computer.
2) Then download This File.
3) Once you download that extract the file. In that file are three scripts.
4) Move those three scripts to the folder that folder you created in step one.
5) then try your command again.
The reason it's not finding /sdcard/root is because it's simply not there. It cannot find what doesn't exist.
Also make sure its CD / not cd/
Hello everyone. I rooted my mt4g a while ago and am on a stock rom. I don't remember which method is did to root it. I know I used visionary at some point and hit root now there. But I was wondering if someone can help me as far as which steps or instructions in supposed to follow. Thanks in advance

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?
thanks

Well the "permission denied" just means you do not have SU access.
When you rooted your phone did you use the ./gfree method?
yep! and i feel i havent successfully removed ./gfree.

I have tried all the unrooting methods for those who used the "./gfree" method, but i am always running into issues when i try to initiate the commands.
also, where do the gfree files and folders reside? in a folder on the sdcard? or open and available on the sdcard?

did you follow the steps to reverse the ./gfree?
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.

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.

yes and i encounter errors....such as gfree not found. but my gfree and its files for some reason are directly on the root of the sdcard and not in any folders.
you dont happen to have any time on a gchat or anything of the sorts do you? i am in serious need of a walkthrough.....if you are willing and have the time. i have tried almost all these methods for the last couple days and no dice.

Gfree writes a backup of the file that it patches named Part7backup-numbers.bin on your sdcard. I suggest putting this file in a safe place as it is the only way to revert if you need to.
1. Rename the part7backup file that you already have to something just so you know that it is the original backup.

Ok fixed it i followed the tutorial again but what i was missing was chmod 777 on gfree
I have restored to stock, including S=On by restoring with the stock PD15IMG.
Ok, here is my story. I have a mytouch 4g, clearly, and i have s-off but withou root privileges. This happened because i used the gfree method to root my phone and then after a while my phone began rebooting itself, and i read online that this is an internal issue and many people have it. So i decided to unroot my phone so that i could get a replacement.
This is where the fun begins :/. I was on Miui, the latest one, and i used the automated unroot where u place the unroot folder and the P15IMG.zip on your phone and go to terminal to do some commands. When terminal finished what it did, it said press volume up in boot loader to finish and i did but i was too stupid to check that S was still OFF and now im on 2.2.1 without root but with S-off...
PLEASE can someone help me with this???? I am not new to this kind of stuff so i can follow somewhat complicated procedures, as long as i can get my phone to be STOCK. Thanks in advance!

Well i already have Froyo and i just used visionary to get permaroot back.. phewww now i feel a little bit better, but i still have to get the S-on and i am trying to revert to stock, but when i enter the command "chmod 777 gfree" it says "Unable to chmod 777 gfree: No such file or directory"
Just return it and you should be good. I also did the same mistake and ignored the errors in terminal (dont remember exactly but i think the script assumed gfree is in /data/local while it was not or rwx perms on file were not setup right) and flashed pd15img.zip then I thought its not worth rerooting and unrooting and just returned it that way. That was 2 months ago and I haven't heard anything from tmo.

i still have the part7backup and yes i put it on the SDcard and i did follow the instructions.

what did you say your reason for a replacement was? for me, my phone rebooted itself when it was on custom roms, im going to see if anything happens on this stock mytouch ui.

Code:
Procedure to revert
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

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
Did you save the part7backup file that was created during the ./gfree root? did you replace it and follow the ./gfree unroot directions?

You should do gfre again, cause when you back to stock, there no more files.
when you get to this command: "dd if=/where/your/part7backup-numbers.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7" , try to remember where/your = "sdcard" then you should be S= ON.
