[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lainvalenajr:
Okay I rewritten Unforgivens Method to my own understand and I hope this will help you. Also I want to say thanks to Unforgiven for this method.

1. Open Visionary r14 and press Temp root(Temporary root). Make sure to uncheck everything.

2. The files you have download should be on the download folder. Put all the files to /sdcard/(Root of the sdcard).

3. Download terminal from the android Market. Once downloaded open terminal.

4. Prepare to type the fallowing...

$ su

# insmod /sdcard/wpthis-OTA.ko (Note I assume that you have the over the air update from T-Mobile)

Once you type the codes correctly you should get this

init_module wpthis-OTA.ko failed (Function not implemented)

If you got this your doing it correctly

5. Okay this is the most serious part of typeing in terminal because you can brick you phone and no way to unbrick it without htc or something. Please make sure to look at the codes at least a few times. Okay type this in terminal.

dd if=/data/local/hboot-eng.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (MAKE SURE ITS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THIS!)

6. On terminal type in the fallowing

sync (Leave it like that for 30 seconds at least.)

7. Pull out your battery or turn it off.

8. When your phone is off hold the fallowing:

Volume Down + Power.

On the top it should either say S-on but it should say S-Off.

9. This is that part where you get permanent root. Open visionary and press temporary root. (Make sure everything is uncheck) after you get temporary root press permanent root. Your phone should reboot. Head to terminal and type in su. If you get superuser permission you are s-off/Prem-root.

10. Download Rom Manager. Open Rom Manager and flash ClockWorkRecovery for the g2.

11. Start flashing roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prztruspaz:
Yeah that didn't work for me either... Thank you for the continued effort. After I #sync, when it comes back on, the hboot still says S-ON. And VISIONary fails to permroot the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lainvalenajr:
huh... I wonder why.

Edit: Well anyways dont mess this method if its not working because i dont want you to brick your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
Maybe you can try flashing the RUU for your CURRENT (not older) ROM/Image. Seems like it's worth a shot.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luis86dr:
Look for the gfree thread. It has the link to the wiki and it takes you step by step on how to root and gfree. Had same issues as you and that worked for my replacement and my wifes.

just passing it along. i know some are afraid to use adb i myself would recommend using it to know the basic of adb but if not well here it is. GL

i do know its a heated debate with auto and manual etc. don't hate the messenger.
[Thunderbolt General] Jaxidian:
I love auto-rooters for myself. I've done 3 different phones via ADB because I wasn't going to wait, but if I lose root for whatever reason, an auto rooter sure is nice.

I think everybody should root via ADB before they ever root with an auto rooter, though.

Nice find, thank you.

That soft bricked me so I did it manually
[Thunderbolt General] EgoDogg:
And to think I just did the manual root yesterday.. D'oh! Well, good to learn some of the stuff I did, I guess. Thanks OP for passing it along.

Anyone know if the 'unroot' process will still unroot if you rooted it the manual way?
[Thunderbolt General] greatnesstx:
Thanks will root my phone tomorrow using this
[Thunderbolt General] 52brandon:
as far as I know, just loading the stock PG05.img (or whatever the name is) in bootloader will return you to stock

and, auto-root is great, but will lead to so many more of the "I bricked my phone" type threads from people that don't know what they are doing...
[Thunderbolt General] DroidXcon:
Soft bricked your phone? please elaborate on this
[Thunderbolt General] load97:
I (personally) had no problems. Did you miss a step?
[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
+1

anyone interested in rooting should know how to access their phone via adb. if the auto root process goes bad, adb is the only tool available
[Thunderbolt General] Old MuckenMire:
Rooting manually via ADB or rooting via auto root?

That's a discussion folks should flesh out and really chew on. It's not been discussed enough here in the past and is a highly neglected topic that deserves many original posts such as the ones above this one. Let's get this debate going and see if we can tread some new ground.
[Thunderbolt General] vwlove09:
Sucks

No matter what method of root I try to use it always says device error, so its not connecting, any suggestions?
[Thunderbolt General] FP5241:
I'm still in the "to root or not to root" discussion.. :p
[Thunderbolt General] Old MuckenMire:
I hear you. I rooted and flashed the hell out of my Nexus One but have held off with the TB. Rooting and flashing Sense ROMs on my N1 is what made me want the TB in the first place.

That said, I would like to use cache-mate and ad-free. This ROM is also tempting me:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1013577

I have to hold off tho. They are getting ready to flip the 4G switch in my area soon an I want to be stock when that happens because when I root I want to know how my device is supposed to behave when stock. That way I'll know if an issue I am having is a TB/Verizon issue or a flashed ROM/Kernel/Radio/root issue.

Rooting on the N1 was a no-brainer given the lack of app space and the urgent need for A2SD. Given the ability to move some apps to SD now, plus the TB's extra app storage space, the need for more storage just isn't there for me with the TB. And believe it or not, for me personally, flashing ROMs and kernels got old in and of itself. Every ROM is different, but I can never find the perfect one and always end up wishing I could cherry pick features from a variety of ROMs. I felt like a damn nomad going from one ROM to the next. :D
[Thunderbolt General] DroidXcon:
There is nothing to discuss.

If you are doing any type of hack you are doing so at your own risk,assuming all responsibility to anything that may happen to your phone, and you should take it upon yourself to learn, at the very least, the basics of adb and its command functions.

I am attempting to make the process as painless as possible, no where in my thread do i call it easy or simply . I call it auto root because its Automated.

I am not saying im not noob friendly because if you know me you know thats not true i spend many many hours helping people, im just saying that if you are attempting a hack that you should know what you are getting yourself into.

This is a connection problem, make sure HTC sync is installed. Make sure you are in debugging mode and it is set to stay awake, make sure you are in USB setting Charge only. Use the USB ports in the back of the computer

id none of that works, try a different,USB port, cable or different computer.
[Thunderbolt General] Old MuckenMire:
It was a joke man. It's been discussed here ad nauseum...plus, don't you think it's a little ironic that you create an auto root app where the user DOES NOT NEED TO LEARN OR USE one single manual ADB command, while at the same time preaching that users should learn ADB? :D

the only reason you say this stuff is to pay lip service to your developer clique about ADB and noobs, then you turn right around and give noobs a manual ADB free root app.

don't get me wrong, I appreciate it as much as anyone, but the irony is a little thick here.
[Thunderbolt General] DroidXcon:
this is automated for anyone, where does it say in my thread, this is for noobs?

so because something is posted or because its easy to use its automatically hypcritical? . this is for anyone. i know that if i return to stock that i am not going to want to have to type out every command just to root again.

so if what you are saying it true then no one should post anything that makes the process easy for other people.
[Thunderbolt General] hogowner:
Did you install the drivers?

Sent from my THUNDERBOLT
[Thunderbolt General] Old MuckenMire:
Hey man like I said I appreciate it...but some developers on this forum drone on and on about how easy manual ADB is and that there is no need for automated root apps. If you already know ADB there is really no point in the automated app except to save, what, typing??

The automated app still takes almost as long...it just saves typing...and the risk of a mistake. That has been my point all along.

AGAIN, I highly appreciate your app and work...I just wish devs would stop harping on the need to lean ADB when it's not needed thanks to apps like yours.:) For whatever reason there is this clique of devs who think if you don't know ADB you don't "deserve" root access. It's lame.

But let's be real here: 90% of the users that will use your app are rooting noobs. The experienced users did it manually on day one.
[Thunderbolt General] DroidXcon:
im in no clique of devs i dont even know if anyone likes me lol. im not saying you should be an expert. but you should know how to use adb because at some point a problem may happen and automation doesnt let you trouble shoot very well. Im not hard core either way adb or no adb. but with any hack sometimes the only way to save yourself from a phone becoming useless is through adb..

thanks for the appreciation,,,,oh and not for nothing, i would rather watch a show then have to be putting in line after line of commands , then on commercial i can just flash the ruu :)

I have a otterbox case on my g2, and use the Arkon Car Mount Model: SM514 got it on amazon for around $15 a while back. I don't use it all the time but the otterbox does fit on the mount. Its a tight fit because of the strong spring that comes with the mount, but it works.

I have just recently learned how to flash ROMs and read that some Kernals help battery life. So my question(s) is/are:

1. What is a kernal and what does it do exactly?

2. Does flashing a kernal require a full wipe?

3. What's the "best" kernal for Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo?

4. How do I flash a kernal?

Thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twiz0r:
Kernel is pretty much how the software and hardware talk to each other.

No, full wipe is not necessary.

Don't know, I use aosp.

Same way you flash a rom in recovery.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894880

I like ziggy's kernels but I think he has them pulled down right now (ziggy471.com). Other than that your only other real option is Netarchy's.

Kernel's are very phone specific, just b/c it works on one, doesn't mean it's going to work on yours. I would just start with the newest Net kernel then work your way back through the older versions if it's not working out.

You only need to wipe dalvik and cache to flash a kernel.

You can do it in recovery like you would flash a ROM, you can download "Kernel Manager" by Shinzul from the market and follow the instructions for flash a kernel.

And to True Blue Drew who has worked side by side with me the whole way and has also put in much time and some of his own images into it as well, and is truly a great guy to work with.

This is in beta because its is nowhere near final, (NOTHING IS BROKEN) there is still a lot i want to do with it, so as i learn more, things will be added and changed.

THIS IS ONLY FOR ROYAL GLACIER!, ALSO THE UPDATE SCRIPT WILL WIPE YOURE CATCHES FOR YOU, SO FIRST BOOT WILL TAKE A COUPLE MIN. SO DONT FREAK OUT.

THE WALLPAPERS USED IN THE THEME WILL BE PLACED ON YOURE SD DURING THE FLASH FOR EACH SO YOU CAN STILL HAVE THE ROM WALLPAPER IF YOU WANT

JUST FLASH THROUGH CWM.

ALSO IF YOU FLASH THIS ON 1.2 YOU WILL HAVE SOME OF THE FIXES THAT ARE IN 1.3 YOU WILL STILL WANT TO FLASH 1.3 OF THE ROM WHEN DREW RELEASES IT TO GET THE REST OF THE CHANGES

Notification bar color question

Hi Tiger. Thanks for all the time and work you put into this great theme. Just a quick question.

In some of the handcent pictures in the original post, you have a black background for the notification bar. I like the blue but I'm personally diggin' the black background because your notification icons are the best I've seen, with the black background making them stand out more for me. Is that something we can change ourselves or is the blue background, which is still great, the only one? Just wondering. Thanks for the help.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] KefkaticFanatic:
So I've been reading some threads about the app JuiceDefender, and even tested it out for a few days, but before I really start working with it I was hoping to get some opinions. It appears that the major draw of the app is that it limits your data updates in order to save idle battery life. However, I generally keep an instant messaging program running (imo when it works, trillian and skype otherwise) at essentially all times. From a few tests with the app, it appears that when it turns off data updates while on idle, it also disconnects me from my chat apps, causing me to miss messages and such. Is this really just not the app for me, or is there something I'm missing? Does it really even help at all, or is it just another battery life placebo?

Thanks for any help!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] BBock9:
The juicedefender version that is .99 allows you to set exceptions for apps when the screen is off. Unfortunately, doing so for an app like IM pretty much defeats the pupose of juicedefender as you're wifi or mobile data will need pretty consistent access
