Hi all,
I did the True PermaRoot by following the instructions on this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
If I was to use PD15IMG.ZIP to restore my phone, how would it affect the true perma root and the sim unlock?!
Would the phone remain permarooted and unlocked?!

You do loose root but the gfree is still there along with sim unlock as well as eng bootloader.
There is a link in the Rom bible that does it all in one cick

Thank you, I tried finding what you had mentioned, but no luck. Could you please post the link and maybe explain how I would go about obtaining root again...

Thank you!
So if I got it right, I would first unroot and reverse the process of true perma root then use the pd15img.zip to revert to stock then reroot using same procedure, right?
But originally I wanted to know what would happen if I was to go straight to the pd15img.zip and if that would leave the root and unlock and s-off intact?

Hello all.
Noob here. Just got my mt4g permarooted but i'm curious what settings I need to run. I had visionary running on boot before rooting. I assumed I needed to turn that off after permaroot but I could not gain root access without it. Anyone mimd helping with the right setup?

Could you provide the steps you took to get rooted or maybe a link to a guide you followed?
If you are permarooted you should have no problems turning off that setting in Visionary.

Everytime I do that, phone freezes after I click attempt permaroot. The screen goes black like it does for temproot but freezes after and nothing else happens.

Anyone?
I think the problem is visionary refusing to permaroot. I'm using r14. Visionary crashes and freezes my phone when I attempt to petmaroot and I have to pull the battery to restart. Any options to visionary? Maybe an older release?
Any help would be appreciated.

So I rooted using the visionary/gfree method. Is my phone unlocked for other sim cards, or is there another step that needs to be taken?

If you followed the gfree process as described in the wiki, you're unlocked
I agree about the search its absolute garbage through and through.

Alright, thanks
i tryed everything to root my mytouch 4g i used every visionary i can find still nothing
its 2.2.1 on it
USB debugging is checked?
Visionary gives you temporary root access that does not survive a reboot. You will need to use the gfree method to unlock the bootloader and then run permanent root with Visionary.
What steps have you taken?

Pretty much sums it up. I tried temp rooting then perm rooting with VISIONary+ r14, but it didn't work, so don't try that. ./gfree is the way to go. Very simple, straightforward, and easy!
And how do I use that you got any links that would help

There's no way in the world gfree rooting method is simpler and more straightforward than visionary, root.sh method.
Visionary, root.sh method takes 3 files and one app to root and that's it. Everything can be done from the device. Takes me 5 minutes tops.

nobody said it was simpler or more straightforward. He's just suggesting another method since root.sh isn't working for him.
@op gfree's method is stickied in the development section titled ULIMATE S-OFF or something like that you can't mix the ULTIMATE! lol
yes im getting too lazy to link as i answered about 5 questions straight lol

You are confused and talking out your ass. First, I was never arguing with anybody. If anybody is arguing, is you. Second, I just gave "MY" opinion about root.sh method being easier and more straightforward than gfree. Why, because some one else stated that gfree is easier and more straightforward. Third, you say I don't read? Go back and read the post I quoted, post I posted and your out the ass post. Then come back and tell me who is the one not reading.
What are you doing in the mytouch 4g section when you own an amaze anyways.

dude lol you need to relax, the guy you quoted didn't say it's easier and simpler, he said that it's very easy and simple facepalm -____-. scroll up again, he said gfree is the way to go because root.sh didn't work for him, and it's similar to op's problem, so he should go with gfree.
I'm in this section because I own this device.
You shouldn't get so worked up over the term aguing, it isn't a bad thing. synonyms would be debating. You're arguing that your opinion on the matter is easier and simpler. I completely agree with that. But you quoted the guy who didn't make any claims comparing gfree or root.sh. amirite? lol
Wow...done.

i am having trouble with both gree and root.sh it will temp root but nothing else..
then the second time i used root.sh and everytime i powered down my phone it would go straight to the visionary triangle and stay there
hello guys, i searched around on the procedure needed to be done to return a phone to stock for warranty exchange. I read the ultimate s-on guide sticky, but its quoted that if you used the visionary method, that the pd15img flashing may not be enough. thats about all is said on the subject though. if anyone could help me out i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!!

if you used the visionary root.sh method, then you got nothing to worry about. just flash stock PD15IMG.zip. when reboot, it should show S-On.
ok thank you so much for you help!!
So if I flashed a stock rom via a pd15img.zip that wasn't rooted and includes an hboot, would it still be carrier unlocked ? I have one that I use on at&t and I don't want to lose the unlock and start all over from scratch.

I don't think so. I believe once carrier unlock is there, it's there forever, no matter what you do. Don't quote me on this, as I could be wrong and you could lose the unlock!

If you used gfree to sim unlock it then flashing PD15IMG.zip will leave sim unlock and S-OFF.

Hello,
I am trying to unlock (s-off?) my desire z with official procedure at htcdev.com site.
Unfortunately I had an ota upgrade to 2.4.405.4 (perhaps bug fixing...)
Obviously OFFICIAL htc software does not recognize 2.4.405.4 version.....
What can I do now?
Thanks,
Mario
don't use official unlock, bad choice you will be so unhappy. look for the xda wiki guide how to root the proper way, or google cyanogen vision root wiki
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
if you have already unlocked the bootloader using the steps on htcdev.com you need to lock again the bootloader otherwise the xda guide will not work

Ok, but all guides say to backup with titanium backup before rooting. But titanium needs rooted phone to do backups...
How can I backup my phone????
Thanks,
Mario
well there is no need to back anything up but if you really want to, fully read the guide and it will show you how to temp root you phone and then use titanium to back things up. personally I feel this is unnecessary but do as you'd like
