19/Nov r14: VISIONary + one click root

[Guest convolution]

You don't need to root on the pre-OTA if you are planning on going to update anyways. I just went through these step but skipped the rage root for pre-OTA and it worked fine. Whatever Visionary messed up is resolved once you reflash the stock ROM onto the phone.

LOL K I renamed the .apk.zip to .apk

works fine

perm rooted mah phone

installed Virtuous Custom Rom

everything is dandy!

[Guest marley097]

used r13 on my tmobile G2, temp root worked fine, downloaded rom manager, flashed clockwork. everything was great. tried perm root a few hours later. pretty much rebooted right away, now phone stuck on green HTC boot screen.... cant connecct to PC drivers fail to install...what the heck do i do?????? please help.

[Guest ayalah1986]

Got it working!!!

I had the weird issue where I had S-Off but no root. Also visionary r12 and r13 would just try over and over again but never finish.

Here is what I did...

download the system back to pre OTA software using this link:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831398

The link for the XVI editor is (this is needed in the step above):

http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/free...xvi32/xvi32.htm

and use rage to perm-root and s-off: (with wpthis-pre-OTA.ko)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228

Then apply OTA.

and re-do rage to perm-root and s-off again: (with wpthis-OTA.ko)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228

I just tested it, it works beautifully. It takes about 1 hour total!

I have root, S-OFF and OTA now.

This is a looong procedure!!

I still have another G2 and I will be eagerly waiting for Paul to give us a new version of his one click magic!!

Sounds good just one problem..... I can't even temp root....

[Guest Paul]

Version r13 now online.

[Guest DimensionFX]

I have a big problem I cannot update the binarey from superuser. everytime I get an error occurred.... I dont't have a root but thats the next problem! I tried visionary r11-14 serveral times but it don't work! Is it right that when superuser is not working I can't root the phone visionary?

I have the T-Mobile G2 mobile phone.

Thank you for your help!

I would try copying the zip file PD15IMG.zip to your SD and reboot into bootloader and flash this update

Oops sorry I thought u had the mt4g.. nevermind.. however i would try to find the G2 equivalent of this same file.

Maybe you can find it here?

Works on my Archos 70 IT!

[Guest RonnieFoxxx]

Tried using r11 through r14. TempRoot used to work before, now not so much. I get an endless loop of "rooting device, please wait" and sometimes the blank screen with the notification bar. Tried rebooting even wiping, nothing works. Looked into logcat logs and noticed "W/VISIONary(3324): Failure in MergeAssets" followed by a few repeating "W/VISIONary(3324): Failure in CopyAsset".

Please HALP

Perm Root worked for me! Thanks! B)

[Guest PejotA]

Olá Paulo ... belo trabalho seu visionário!

Eu me pergunto o que a possibilidade de que o aplicativo em um Desire A8181 ...

Não é um Z HTC e desejo também não é um HD de HTC, o desejo é apenas uma geração Desejo em primeiro lugar!

Tenho um amigo que tem o aparelho aleijado! Ela não tem acesso ao cartão SD e nem acesso a USB eo único método que eu conheço a raiz do desejo é não revogados, mas este usa o PC conectado à porta USB.

Como não tem acesso a USB ele não pode fazer a raiz de seu desejo ...

Fiquei me perguntando se existe alguma maneira de fazer a raiz do desejo sem usar o acesso USB e sem usar o PC!

Isso seria possível?

PS: Eu olhei seu tutorial sobre USB TIJOLO FIX e se a solução está lá, por favor indique o caminho, porque eu tentei de todas as formas e não podia raiz no desejo do meu amigo!

Obrigado e desculpas por questionar aqui neste tópico!

[Guest Germanguy]

"Set system r/w after root - this allows you to leave the /system partition read/write after root"

I don't fully understand this option. What is the purpose/benefit of this option?

Also, do I need to temproot before attempting permroot?

[Guest MT4G_Slave]

Hi Paul, can you add 1 click permroot for MyTouch 4G as well?

Thank you.

[Guest mohdbeko]

hello Paul

urgent hep plz

i got this msg from my ACE what should i do

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$sh /sdcard/DHD/check

df4fd77f44993eb05a4732210d2eddc6 /sdcard/DHD/hboot_eng.nb0

df4fd77f44993eb05a4732210d2eddc6 << CORRECT MD5

If the above MD5 sums do not match ... DO NOT CONTINUE!!!

Something went wrong with the download or extracting this archive!

Making kernel module for version:

gf3f553d

Testing kernel module:

insmod: can't insert '/sdcard/DHD/wpx.ko': Operation not permitted

If you get this error:

insmod: init_module '/sdcard/DHD/wpx.ko' failed (Function not implemented)

or

insmod: can't insert '/sdcard/DHD/wpx.ko': Function not implemented

This means the module worked :P

You can continue with:

sh /sdcard/DHD/backup

$ sh /sdcard/DHD/backup

dd: can't open '/dev/block/mmcblk0p18': Permission denied

dd: can't open '/dev/block/mmcblk0p18': Permission denied

dd: can't open '/dev/block/mmcblk0p21': Permission denied

dd: can't open '/dev/block/mmcblk0p21': Permission denied

md5sum: can't open '/sdcard/DHD/*.bin': No such file or directory

Backup made!

md5sum: can't open '/sdcard/DHD/hboot_orig*': No such file or directory

DO NOT CONTINUE IF THE ABOVE MD5 SUMS DO NOT MATCH

SOMETHING IS HORRIBLY WRONG IF THEY DO NOT MATCH

YOUR PHONE WILL LIKELY BE BRICKED IF YOU DO CONTINUE

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Please continue as follows to flash the bootloader (HBOOT):

sh /sdcard/DHD/hboot

Or to flash a custom recovery:

sh /sdcard/DHD/recovery

Flashing recovery trough fastboot is preferred, but if you don't want to flash HBOOT you can use this script instead!

$sh /sdcard/DHD/hboot

insmod: can't insert '/sdcard/DHD/wpx.ko': Operation not permitted

You probably got this error:

insmod: init_module '/sdcard/DHD/wpx.ko' failed (Function not implemented)

This means the module worked :D

dd: can't open '/dev/block/mmcblk0p18': Permission denied

dd: can't open '/dev/block/mmcblk0p18': Permission denied

md5sum: can't open '/sdcard/DHD/hboot_check.nb0': No such file or directory

df4fd77f44993eb05a4732210d2eddc6 << CORRECT MD5

md5sum: can't open '/sdcard/DHD/hboot_orig0.bin': No such file or directory

If the first and second MD5 sums match, it went correct and you are safe to reboot!

If the first and third MD5 sums match, it failed writing but this is NOT fatal and still safe to reboot!

IF THE FIRST MD5 SUM DOES NOT MATCH EITHER SECOND OR THIRD

DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR PHONE!!!

IF YOU DO YOUR PHONE WILL BE BRICKED!!!

But this should not happen, if it does happen seek help on the forums!

Or try to restore the original HBOOT as follows:

sh /sdcard/DHD/restore_hboot

You can now also install a custom recovery:

sh /sdcard/DHD/recovery

Or do it with fastboot, which is the preferred method with the S-OFF HBOOT!

$ sh /sdcard/DHD/restore_hboot

insmod: can't insert '/sdcard/DHD/wpx.ko': Operation not permitted

You probably got this error:

insmod: init_module '/sdcard/DHD/wpx.ko' failed (Function not implemented)

This means the module worked :D

dd: can't open '/sdcard/DHD/hboot_orig0.bin': No such file or directory

dd: can't open '/dev/block/mmcblk0p18': Permission denied

md5sum: can't open '/sdcard/DHD/hboot_orig0.bin': No such file or directory

md5sum: can't open '/sdcard/DHD/hboot_check.bin': No such file or directory

IF THE ABOVE MD5 SUMS DO NOT MATCH YOU ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE!!!

THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AT ALL

PLEASE SEEK HELP ON THE FORUMS

BUT WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR PHONE

IF YOU FAIL TODO SO IT WILL BE BRICKED

[Guest Rafi_l]

First a big thank you for all your hard work. Going from my rooted G1 to G2 was a big step....anyways I downloaded r14 and installed fine. I clicked temp root now and it takes me to the next screen that says "rooting device please wait" and nothing happens. I havent read anywhere that this process should take very long but after waiting 5 - 10 mintues I back out of the visionary app. I repeated this whole process several times with same results. Doesnt seem to work for me and I see plenty of threads here and on XDA this was supposed to be a no brainer....Anyways, USB debugging is enabled and I am running a stock G2. What else should I be doing or try? please avise.

[Guest Dudemaaan]

Below is all solved.....

I'm having an issue with installing the new version 14. I am able to install an old version. (visionary.apk vs visionaryplus14.apk)

I get a "there is a problem parsing the package" error.

I have unknown sources checked, and I un-installed the old version first.... Anyone have ideas?

EDIT: Got it: Followed the suggestion on pg 7 or 8. removed from sd card, installed to PC then moved it to the sd card via usb. Click and it installed.This is solved also, I uninstalled Superuser, then went to app store and reinstalled it. Seems to be working now... will be sure to add a 4th edit if I have more issues lol..

EDIT 2 Ok after getting it installed, I did temp root, worked just fine from what I can tell, but if I click on superuser, or use an app that requires SU privileges i get a "Sorry! the application Superuser (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped expectantly. Please try again. " I tried rebooting same issue... *shrug*

EDIT 3: Solved by uninstalled superuser that came with visionary and reinstalled from app store. Will be sure to add a 4th edit if i have any more issues... lol

Any luck with FRG83D on Nexus One anyone?

[Guest katx5h]

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the VISIONary app (R14)

I installed it to my MT4G and after several tries got a temp root. I had at the time su rights with terminal.

I then did a perminant root and when I did a hboot I get:

GLACIER PVT ENG S-OFF

which is what I want but now I no longer have superuser rights and VISIONary hangs if I run it again. (or at least after 20 min does not have a root)

I also do not have a super user app. And Titanium backup will not run.

All I am trying to do is get rid of the bloat ware that T-mobile puts on the phone, and maybe have option to later put on a custom ROM.

I'm good with Ubuntu and Linux but this thing has got me stumped. Any advice?

OK, I got it to work with an adb push of hboot and wpx and rage without Visionary. All good

Hi all! I've tried the your app, Paul, on my HTC Legend Official Froyo, but the permroot doesn't work, only temproot works... I read that someone has my same problem, but how to fix it?

[Guest SQ3.0dotJP]

All i get is the phone with the red triangle whenever i try to install a rom via clockwork. is that a problem with the one click root or clockwork? i can install and run root only apps but i cant install a rom to save my life :). ive tried installing clockworkmod 2x, and fixing permissions multiple times too. i want to go faster :), any suggestions. im a noob on script, but im comfortable with a detailed step by step guide(rooted my original desire)

nevermind, this permroot guide worked
