super slow after rooting

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.

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

ya it says s-on still.... whats the easy way to get rid of this... and as i said i just want to speed up this phone a lil bit

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

both, id like the option to upgrade to a nice optimized sense rom, and to speed up the phone

( 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

you need RA recovery v1.7.0G. not H

That's what I thought but that's what rom manager flashed on it. I also tried the clockworkmod one as well it did the same thing.

You need to select the ION/myTouch option in ROM Manager, not Magic. Either erase data for ROM Manager from the application menu or reinstall it, then select the correct option.

If you have Magic 32B - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
If you have MT3G v1.2 (with 3.5" audiojack) - you can not able use engineering bootloader (because phone has other hardware than magic 32b), so only flash_image works...
Addionally, you can use Rom Manager Premium. It is able to flash custom recoveries, but at this moment app tells me that alternative recoveries are unavailable...

MT4G screen not working.

Hello,
My wife's rooted MT4G touch screen is not responding to touch anymore nor is the trackpad working. I don't know what happen but I'm going to try to get a warranty replacement, but I need to unroot and turn s on before I send it in. My question how can I do this if the screen and trackpad are not working? Is it possible through sdk and if so, anyone can provide me instructions ? Thanks on advanced.

Sounds like a defective digitizer. Considering it's a hardware issue the warranty would still apply

Hmmm, yeah but don't I have to unroot it first? I thought if you sent it in rooted, it voids the warranty ?

Rooting voids the warranty when it comes to software. Defective hardware is still covered. Doesn't hurt to unroot though. Toss pd15img on ur SD card and restore it

Ah okay, thanks. I search forum for pd15img, will that turn s back on or does T-Mobile not care?
Oh if the trackpad is not working, how can I restore it?? Possible to do it from sdk ?

If you got s-off, i don't think unrooting it will undo that. there are specific guides to turn s back ON but i doubt you would be needing that.
Good luck though.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V4NAODYZ
that is pd15img, the link shared by theunlockr so pretty good source. It will revert all parts of your system back to stock, so it should be s-on after.
This isn't meant to fix the screen, and the touchscreen isn't required to use pd15img. It is only for extra protection against getting your warranty rejected even though it's a hardware issue.
this guide will help

Hello,
Thank you, I was able to get the phone to see pd15img and is started doing it's thing, and I went to reboot it. Now I get hboot screen that kind of looks like this:

I tried all the buttons and it is like they are not responsive, I know for fact the volume buttons work because I had to use them to select for the .zip file. I also uses the key tester in clockwork recovery to check and see if my keys were working or not. I have tried pulling the battery out, so I am not sure if I missed a step??
Thanks,
Kei

EDITED:
It seems I forked up. I didn't realize it but it is my own fault for being in a hurry. I did use the gfree method on my phone by moving the gfree files to where the guide told me and then used a terminal emulator to execute gfree. Since I already flash PD15img.zip, and I am screwed or is there something I can possibly do so that I can properly unroot by undoing gfree? If I got to learn to use adb, I will! I appreciate your help in advance!

well with that I assume you did gfree to root. I may be wrong but I think you need to use to touchscreen to revert that completely. Just try to get a replacement with the current setup.

Guess what, the screen started working but track pad is not as far as I can click but not move. So with that new development, anyway to get out of hboot?
Thanks for all of your help.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

well... you can just reboot normally, right? in that case, put the part7backup file wherever you're supposed to. I didn't do the gfree method, so i dont really know how to do it. that guide i posted earlier should have proper instructions, though.

Still having issues, I am hoping someone can help me please!
I got hboot to respond by reseating the sd-card, it just continues to detect pd.zip file and will flash it successfully but after it reboots, it just goes back into hboot.
Would this post help me fix my problem? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12899770&postcount=4
I want to get this phone back to stock so I can replace it via Warranty due to the trackpad & touchscreen failing.

The only thing I can think of is, buy an sdcard reader if your pc doesn't already have one intergrated. Take out your sdcard, put it in the card reader, plug it to your pc and format the sdcard. Redownload the pd15 zip via pc and copy it to the sdcard.
Insert back your sdcard. Boot into hboot and let it do its thing. When its done press vol up for yes to update and when that's done power to reboot. If it reboots fine then you're good to go.
If that still sends you to hboot after reboot, the last thing I can think off to do is just remove your sdcard and boot into hboot. That way the phone won't read anything and let you choose and boot into the stock recovery(it should be blue lettering) from recovery just wipe data factory reset and reboot again see what happens then.

[Q] Can't Get S-Off With Gfree. Can Anyone Help??

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!

yes, of course. it will replace your bootloader, which WILL replace your S-off with S-on.

Thank You
Thank you for that information just to clarify so after i put this on my phone i could send it right into t-mobile no problems.
Edited: will it change my splash screen back and will it get rid of clockworkmod

umm it should change your splash screen I THINK. i'm not entirely sure on that...
but even if you did change your splash screen, as long as your phone is on stock, i'm pretty sure you'll be able to get a replacement for no problems

If gfree was used for S-off, no amount of PD15IMG flashing will restore S-on. gfree needs to be executed again, with the right flag to restore S-on.
