i used the method mentioned here
hxxp://theunlockr.com/2010/11/15/universal-android-rooting-method-visionary-method/
and it shows i still have SU permission... but everytime my phone re starts, it opens visionary and says rooting phone...
but the thing is, my phone is snail slow now... and when i go back to the main screen, it takes forever and says loading... then my normal screen shows up... its also taking forever to do simple things, such as open text msg's
any suggestions on this problem?
Lol i think you didnt properly s-off and prem-root your phone. Go to G2/disireZ android dev... locate the thread about prem rooting. There should be 3 methods. 1 gfree(safest) 2. Unforgivens method( fastest) and 3. Rage method( dont know) well yea... hope u get rooted and if anybody sees my post can you guys better explain lol thanks
Edit: lol just go to stickes and there should be a thread that talks about guilds and roms.

Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Quick thing i want u to do. Can u turn off your phone and hold vol down + power and tell me what it says on the upper left of the screen

Lol do you want full root? Or just speed up your phone?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

( this is the gfree method the safest) i advice to follow this sinces its the safest
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
but since it says my phone is rooted already, can this cause problems? or can i un root and re do it?
Lol alrighty. When you get prem-root/s-off you should flash virtuous Rom(sense) or cyan RC1 Rom(stock android feel).
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
No lol you are not rooted. You have temp root. If your hboot says s-on then your not rooted. I advice not to mess with the prem root button on visionary.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
no no what im saying is that since my phone says its s-on still, but it says its rooted... how can i start fresh, by say unrooting my phone, or is there some way i can just hop in the middle here....
im new to all this and i dont want to screw up my phone lol
Your using visionary right? Since you have s-on after you reboot your phone it should be unrooted again. Just make sure you turn off the start at boot thing on visionary
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Dont use visionary, use the other two. There have been to many problems with Visionary.
i did turn it off, and setcpu still has access it says.... so where can i confirm on the phone is it is or is not rooted....
Does h-boot say S-Off?
Like i said before. Turn off your phone hold vol down + power. If it says s-off on the left top of the screen the your rooted. Well i used unforgivens way of prem rooting and no issues. S-off (security off)

nope says s-on

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 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.

thanks for the help man!
am i going to be looking for a thread that's already started?
Yea it should be a sticky in the Dec section called "true perma root and s off
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
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.

tired it still doesnt work, keep on getting s-on. should i do a factory reset and try again?
I followed the steps to set the security flag to 'S-Off' and I know everything went successful on the terminal but when I go into Hboot it still shows 'S-On'. I'm on 0.86.0000 and I'm perma-rooted with Visionary using stock 2.2.1 build of Froyo. I rooted the device earlier this year with no problem and 'S-Off' worked, too, but I had to give device to Mom, so I unrooted it and switched back to 'S-On'. When I got it back, I re-rooted but now I can't get gfree to switch back to S-Off even after I followed those steps exactly as written. Can someone help??

The best solution that I know of is to factory reset with pd15img. There are some cases where for some reason s won't become off. And after a factory reset it should work fine
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Have you tried the root.sh method. It gives s-off also, but you do it on the phone instead. Make sure you have 2.2.1 an use androzip to unzip the file.
From my fist to your face, enjoy!
