Root Need some help! (rooting content)

[Tslide91]

I cant post on xda in the development section and the mytouch 4g forum is too slow, so im posting here.

Im having trouble getting s=off with mytouch 4g. Im permarooted using the visionary method, but it still says s=on.

Clockwork wont run, it just goes to the red ! over the phone icon.

Also, ADB push wont work, it keeps saying permission denied.

Visionary wont unroot either. Help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Come on guys, I need some help here!

Have you tried here:

TRUE PermaRoot and the ULTIMATE S=Off!!! Check this out even if you're rooted!!! - xda-developers


For some reason this seams to be the way to go...

 

[Tslide91]

Yes, ive tried just about everything.

I cant adb push gfree into /data/local, and I cant move it even with a root file explorer.

Keep trying the link that devilasu left. I had the same issue and had to root 3 time to get the s=off. I did come down to getting sdk downloaded and pushing it through.

Okay only thing i can think of would be to give this a try. This is a conversation that i had with ash a while back.

At first I just used The Unlockr's method which is using Visionary. (How To: Gain Permanent Root and S-OFF on the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G / HTC Glacier | TheUnlockr) I got temproot that way and then tried to get S-Off, but when I rebooted into the bootloader I was still stuck on S-On.

I did some research and realized the reason for that was because I had an updated bootloader, so I followed these instructions using the gfree method (How To: PermaRoot and Unlock Your myTouch 4G - BriefMobile) and just skipped step 6 because I was already temprooted. After following those last instructions when I restarted and made sure I had S-Off, I rebooted then opened visionary again, unchecked temproot on boot and then ran Attempt perm root

Check out the links and hopefully something should work. Something has to give. LOL

I keep getting a Permission Denied error when trying to adb push gfree. Any ideas?

 

[dasudevil]

Ill be honest with you I dont. I have not rooted so i have not come across them issues. Hopefully someone here has and knows a way around it. Sorry.

I think I read somewhere that if the phone had the OTA update it's fine, but if it came factory with 2.2.1, the radio is different, so it didn't work. But that's what I read, doesn't mean it's true.

I guess I'm not too bummed, I at least got the bloatware off, and there's always LauncherPro to keep it looking nice even though it's the same rom. Really would like to be able to flast a new one, but for some reason I can't.

At least your rooted right? Anywho just keep an eye open and hopefully someone out there will make it very simple for us to get perm root. Maybe a one click method.....

^i used the visionary method, which is as close to one-click as it gets.

Im glad theres no super easy method. Plenty of idiots would be destroying their phones
