Ok so im trying the root.sh method but no luck. I do temproot and check r/w after that I have the root.sh on my sdcard, I go to terminal emulator and type su cd /sdcard/root sh root.sh , then it does its thing it says to turn off device to see if s-off but nothing still s-on. I opened the file root.sh with adrozip but it said file is corrupted, will that be my problem? I downloaded that file from here. If anyone has that file that knows that works please post it here. Thank you guys.

what android version are you on?
IF YOU ARE ON ANDROID 2.3.4, YOU CANNOT ROOT AT THIS POINT, YOU MUST DOWNGRADE.
you could try the gfree method IF you are on android 2.2.1.
gfree method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
Im on 2.2.1 I really dont want to use the gfree method, im not good with adb at all

well... that's the only choice, since root.sh won't work..

If the files corrupted that's the reason its not working. Just try redownloading, or search for a different link and it should work. I followed the steps at theunlockr.com so there should be a link to the file there.

see if there an md5sum on the thread, where you downloaded the file from. Then use afv or another md5 checker to make sure its downloaded correctly. Don't forget to temp root first, use androzip to extract it to the sdcard, then run the commands. It took me sometime to finally get rooted using that method.
From my fist to your face, enjoy.

How did you push the root file? I'm stuck on the same thing!
PostaHTC I see you made alot of posts I am guessing you just did TempROOT and you didn't invokes the sh command. Did you download the root.sh? If so after TempROOT to get PermROOT from console type in sh <file> make sure you have root dir under /sdcard
I've done it step by step and still nothing I just got it out the box 2days ago so I just did a hard reset I'm just waiting on someone to tell me what I am doing wrong
Can you tell me exactly what to do because I rooted my 1st myTouch but this one is acting crazy! I have all the files /sdcard my question is when you temp-Root the phone do you type the commands then perm-root? Like I'm lost
Well since you are up to the PermROOT I take it you have TempROOT, if so as you saying you have root.sh in root dir inside /sdcard so it would look like /sdcard/root/root.sh for the absolute path. Also you have console right? If not go download Terminal Emulator. Then type in "su" and press enter SU=Super User or @wheel,root permission base. Then use "cd /sdcard/root" press enter CD = Change Directory. Then do "sh root.sh" and press enter as sh is shall execute command. So it would look like this below:
su
cd /sdcard/root
sh root.sh
Now just do restart and make sure you have S=OFF as you will see it on top in HBoot screen. When you are back on go open Visionary+ and unclick TempROOT on boot and click TempROOT now. Then look below and click on Attempt PermROOT Now.

I have everything I need the files and all...I have the files on the SD Card not the root folder When I turn it off it is still saying S-On
Well in that case from console type in
su
mkdir /sdcard/root
mv /sdcard/root.sh /sdcard/root/
cd /sdcard/root
sh root.sh
If you don't want to do it manually then you can do it easily via FileExp go use Astro or Root Explorer. From what you are saying I have my money on you didn't properly do TempROOT. I say go do TempROOT again then try what I suggested for PermROOT.
UPDATE: Here I found you Youtube videos how to do step by step.

Fast easy and fairly safe way, Visionary Plus r14. One click root for temp and perma-root. Usually I do not recommend the 'easy way' method because I think everyone should learn how to actually root the 'hard way' just in case.. but I have to admit Visionary Plus works perfectly on the MT4G and is fast and simple as well as fairly safe. I suggest you use the temp root option first, this way if there is any issues with your device a simple reboot will fix it.
Thanks guys I now have S=OFF and this a new replacement from TMO

i cannot speak of the person @ hand
The three needed items
you download VISIONary.apk
download the Root.sh file .zip and sore the folder with the script file inside the folder on the root of the SD card
download Terminal Emulator from the Android Market
How to do it
Run VISIONary and temp root w/ visionary.sh and set system to r/w after root checked
go into the Term Emul and type "SU". The $ sign should change to a #

cd /sdcard/root

i never did. Once you turn s=off it will not check for that. after you reboot you will need to hit temp root one more time.
I'm trying it as we speak....
I temp-root?
Then I run the commands?
Then I temp-root one last time
Then Turn Off and S should be off....RIGHT?
I did a recent root though perm one. It was through a youtube video and a guide from this forum! look for perm root and s=off thread. its posted by the person who did ultimate true root and s=off.
and use visionary r11, if you dont like the manual way. thats really quick and good as well. but i dont take any responsibility though for any bricking to your phone from this suggestion xD.

k, I saw the vid, the problem is you are still running bootloader version 0.86 and we want to be on eng bootloader, 0.85.
Ok, try this:
First off: we need the SDK, get it from google here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Download the version that works for you, once it downloads (it is a .zip), extract it on your C:/ directory and for working purposes we will rename it to: "androidsdk". you have to launch the SDK manager, let it update and then read what follows:
Alternative Root Process
First, uninstall visionary and superuser and restart your device to wipe out temp root.
Second, download MT4G Modperm.zip and unzip its contents to your sdk platform - tools directory. (will be at C:/androidsdk/platform-tools
MT4G Modperm.zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?eaw0q0zjc7rrrwh
MD5Sum: 3ea4a7a6ddee711d12f7350ce60fae33
Then:
Windows Users:
1a. Using Explorer navigate to the root of your sdk. Hold shift and right mouse click on the platform-tools folder. Select "Open command window here". Or, open a command prompt, type:
cd /androidsdk/
cd platform-tools/
2a. Type "adbbat" + enter. Wait till the batch file finishes. (this will only work if the file we downloaded (MT4G mod perm) is extracted at C:/androidsdk/platform-tools (make sure that you do not create an extra folder within the platform-tools directory)
2. Disconnect your phone from the PC.
3. Open terminal emulator on the phone and type "/data/local/rage" + enter. Wait for "Forked XXXXXXXX children" to appear and then close the terminal.
4. Start terminal back up. It should force close.
5. Start terminal back up, again. This time it should stay open and you should have a "#" prompt instead of a "$" prompt. Then type "/data/local/temp.sh"
6. When the script finishes run /data/local/rage again and sit tight. The phone should start acting weird and do a soft reboot. Then right after everything loads it should do a hard reboot. (the phone might not reboot twice, if it does not, then you can reboot manually into bootloader and S=Off and Hboot 0.85 should be there)
7. Enjoy root!

you didn't read what i said.
Run Visionary.sh after root should be checked
as well as
set system r/w after root.
Both of those HAVE to be checked.
As far as why you still have s=on, i have no clue.
I followed the method posted @ the unlockr (the first time i rooted my phone) link to the unlcokr. The second time i rooted my phone i followed the Wiki posted via Cyanogen Link to their Wiki page, and both of them worked perfectly.
If you want me to make a YouTube video for you showing you how to get s=off i will be more than glad to.

When using adb open up your android sdk folder, then hold SHIFT+right click. Select open command prompt window here. When the window opens type in adb devices and make sure a serial number pops up. If it does, you are good to go. The g-free method is very well written, and if you follow the instructions word for word, it is very simple.
in stead of copying the gfree and hboot files in to local run them frm the sd card???
will it work
Now unplug your device from the computer.
6. Run visionary to gain temp root. (If you were already permarooted w/s=off ignore this step.)
7. Open terminal emulator on your device, type "su", and hit enter to gain root privileges.
instead of this
8. Type "cd /data/local" and hit enter.
use this
cd /sdcard/
9. Now type "chmod 777 gfree" and hit enter to make the program executable.
10. Type "./gfree -f" and hit enter.
It's will work where ever the files are so if that's where you put the files then yeah it will

When it says permission denied its usually cuz u don't have super user permissions. Either you didn't root it properly or u forgot to access your su permissions. make sure there is a # symbol not a $ when u are typing that command. #= root access. $= no root access
