so ive tried a few different things including a factory reset witch still has yet to take hold

Are you using gfree or root.sh? Haven't there been a few people who tried root.sh and it wouldn't work?

I've actually tried both of them and still to no success... I'm stumped I'm about to sends it back for a new one.

Tell us what you have tried so far so we can help you figure out what else you need to try. I had tried a couple of different methods before i found one that worked. The one that i found to work for my phone was found on another site through a link i got on the ultimate s=off thread.

Thank you guys I went and got a root explorer and moved the Gfree files to data/local
Then ran it in terminal works wonderfull.

Currently there is no official support for the Shift from Koush (the guy who does CWM). Apparently it is in the works however.
YOu can use ROM managers, but you can't use it to directly install a recovery. There are some hurdles to jump over and hoops to jump through in order to do that.
See this post for directions to use it to flash recovery (but this is only AFTER perm-rooting the phone)

I've came across this several times and ur not alone. Go to the resource bible on the android development section in xda for the MT4G and go the term and perm root with Visionary method. It's the effective and secure way. Try going to theunlockr.com for a tutorial video.

Have you checked your EMMC chip? If you have the bad one I would suggest not rooting

Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
You can remove the apps while temp rooted, but think they will return whenever you reboot the phone...
Is it an alternative to this den

This thread has a few ways to check it and tells you which one is bad (samsung)...check post 392 for probably the easiest way. As far as rooting your phone, did you follow one of the stickied guides in the development section?
Thanks but I still don kno how to check my emmc or let alone know if its bad or not

You can use titanium backup or other apps to "freeze" apps. This is permanent (but reversible) even under temp root. They still take up space on your phone but are otherwise invisible.

I have the titb but it say it don have root privileges when I try to open it even wit a temp root

Do you have the superuser app installed?
Yes an it has root privileges

Mytouch 4g FAILURE! PLEASE HELP!

Mytouch 4g RECOVERY FAILURE! I used to be able to flash the mytouch 3g effortlessly.. I have done it step by step with my 4G several times with no success.. Can not get S OFF.. Any help to a sure fire process and bundles? I hate getting punked by a phone!

Ok first thing you need to tell people is what android o.s are you on?

Look at my signature. Glacier Wiki, section "Root", subsection "Gingerbread" (I assume you can't root with Visionary -> means you're on Gingerbread).
If you can't do the downgrade - then you shouldn't be rooting.

Does "any HTC device" include the Incredible 4G? We are having a lot of trouble with that one... Could use some help.

As long as the exploit has not been patched by HTC then it will work otherwise you need to dev-unlock and flash insecure boot.img then run HTC Quick Root.

The Incredible 4G is locked up tight. We can't get root via any exploit, and dev unlock was only available for a short time after release, then was removed. Nobody can get s-off, either. I bought mine thinking dev unlock still worked, then found out that it was revoked the very next day. Needless to say we need help rooting.
Thanks for the effort, though. If you have any ideas on the Incredible 4G, please share on the threads over there. We really need help.

I share your pain Captain. Stuck with the Inc4G myself with no s-off. Got it locked down tight, really missing my shift right about now
Doesn't work for the latest OTA of Evo Shift 4G. =/
There is a chance I might have done something wrong, but I have continuously tried different ways so I highly doubt it.
