I don't really get the point of your question. Why don't you just use the preference options to create muliple levels of preferences.

Take a closer look at preferencescreen for example. You can create multilevel preference screens using basic Android code without the use of custom layouts.

So I tried rooting the phone and it wouldn't do it. After a restart its just getting stuck at the "MY" logo

Did i brick it?

Edit: its working now but I can't get it rooted. I got the root.rar file unzipped into the sdcard/root but it says its not permited, what am I doing wrong?
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
That gives us nothing to go on. There are several rooting methods out there. Which are you using?
[myTouch 4G General] Evofusion:

That one

When i get to c. Type "sh root.sh" + enter.

it gives me an error and it tells me to restart and check if s=off but when i reboot and hold down the volume button nothing happens. It just reboots normally
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
That's the best guide out there and the one that I used.

Before attempting to run the script, did you successfully gain temp root using Visionary and set system to R/W?
[myTouch 4G General] kmdub:
Try the method here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858996

It is newer and better in my opinion. Try it from the beginning step-by-step and see if it works.
[myTouch 4G General] Evofusion:
It asked me for super user permission so i'm pretty sure I got temp root.

I finally got something it rebooted and I checked but it still says s-on.

I'll try the script again and post what I get but this is very weird, I had no problems with my G2.

Edit:

my terminal output is

Inserting kernel module

ismod: init_module '/sdcard/root/wpx.ok' failed (Function not implemeneted)

Duplicatiing hboot

2048+0 records in

2048+0 records out

1048576 bites transferred in 0.721 secs (1454335 bytes/sec)

Synchronizing

Powerdown and reboot into hboot to check if s+off

when I reboot i get

GLACIER PVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.86.0000

MICROP-0429

RADIO-26.03.02.26_M

eMMC-boot

OK Last edit:

It seems my Hboot being 0.86.0000 had something to do with it, I tried the other method with adb and it worked I finally got S-off. This was harder to do than on my G2 that's for sure.

Thanks to those who tried helping and thanks to kmdub for suggesting the alternate method.
[myTouch 4G General] kmdub:
For some reason, you are not writing the proper hboot image. Try to re-download or find another source, because the one you are writing, according to your output, is not the right one.

OR...you could try the method I posted above, which does not require a new hboot and actually turns the radio S=OFF. Seriously though, why not use a different (read newer and better) method if the one you are using is not working?
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
While there are other rooting methods out there, there is nothing wrong with the guide you are following. Like I said, it worked great for me. The only thing I can think of is the version of Visionary you are using. r11 is supposed to work better than r14 on the MT4G. The script you run in the beginning flashes the engineering bootloader (0.85.2007), so that's way to tell if the script was successfully run. Just make sure you actually get root access after typing 'su' (so make sure Visionary gets temp root and system is set to R/W first).
[myTouch 4G General] kmdub:
Glad you finally got it working.

That's because the method you were trying first requires the ENG hboot as an essential part of the rooting process. It would have worked, but for some reason it seemed like the one you were writing was the same as what you already had. I don't know if you used the other method I posted or another "other" method, but the one I linked to actually turns the radio's security off (S=OFF) among other things, if you so choose. The older method replaces the stock bootloader with one that does not enforce/ignores the radio's set security. Whereas the newer method actually turns that security flag off, so you can use either bootloader. Both can use Visionary and effectively allow you to "root" the device, but the newer method is more permanent, so to speak.
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
So even though I have the engineering bootloader and my S status is "OFF", the radio security is still on? Does that only matter if for some reason I switch back to the stock bootloader, and as long as I keep the eng SPL the difference in methods is inconsequential?
[myTouch 4G General] RangerLG:
Just a quick FYI on this, did you uncheck Fast Boot in the settings?
[myTouch 4G General] kmdub:
That is the impression I got from reading grankin01's method at the link I posted earlier; that yes, the security flag controlling the security is still set to on. Flashing the ENG bootloader is what actually gives you a label that says S=OFF on the older methods, since that bootloader either ignores the security flag or overrides it somehow. I am not certain about exactly how this takes place. What we do know however, is that security is not enforced regardless since it does allow you to effectively root the device, and you obviously have it working with the older method. The benefit of the newer method is outlined in his post. It allows you to retain the original bootloader and truly be S=OFF. I guess one could say that the older method provides an easier return to complete stock (warranty, return, etc.), since all one would have to do is use the PD15IMG to return to a completely stock state, bootloader and all. However, with the newer method, one would have to reverse the steps done with gfree in order to return to S=ON. So I would think that as long as you have the ENG bootloader you are ok, and it may make no difference. I do not know that from experience however, since I have only ever used the newer method with stellar results.
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
Thanks for the info. My understanding of one method versus the other was pretty much what you explained, but it's good to have it clarified.

I used fastboot way back in my G1 days.....first with the original EngSPL, then HardSPL, and finally when haykuro released DangerSPL. Since I would want the engineering bootloader anyway, I suppose there's no disadvantage to using the method I used. For those that want the stock bootloader, I can see why the newer method is advantageous to them.

Maybe something changed in the kernel/ROM since 1.4.2. Or is there a trick to it I did not realize?

PC10IMG files are flashed through the bootloader (white screen with green skateboarding Androids on the bottom), not through recovery. If you have the PC10IMG.zip file on the root of your SD card, simply enter the bootloader (Volume Down + Power) and it should detect the file and ask if you want to flash the ROM.

In recovery, have you tried formatting the system partition as well as data and cache prior to flashing a custom ROM? Also, do you know what version of CWM you were running? Have you checked out the guide on recovering semi-bricks in the dev section? Since you have ADB working, it has some instructions on flashing recovery and such through ADB (so you flash the latest version for example and try again).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
I was disscussing the fact that i had the wrong hboot. i was using the one designed for the G2 and I have a DZ. So I decided to change to the correct one, I'm comfortable with ADB so I did not for see any problems. So I flashed the correct hboot 0.84.2000, and everything looked good, rebooted in to bootloader, all good and then finally in to recovery.

Oh crap, some problem as everyone else. You know what they say if "if it ain't broke don't try to fix it". So with that in mind I thought it best to flash back to the G2 hboot. Now I didn't know ADB worked whilst you were in recovery, but it does. I followed the insrtuctions re flashed the G2 hboot and everything works as it did before.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DON_58:
I have tried formatting system as well as the data and cache but end up getting an error for each. As for the semi brick guide, I tried flashing the odex rom recommended on clockwork but got an error during installation. Im running ClockworkMod v3.0.0.5
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
Was the CWM the one available from like the CM7 threads or elsewhere on this forum or was it the 3.0.0.5 flashed through ROM Manager? The 3.0.0.5 downloaded directly from this forum was a test version made specifically for Gingerbread ROMs and didn't support the flashing of Froyo ROMs (or Froyo backups). This is most likely why you couldn't flash the stock ODEX ROM. The 3.0.0.5 available through ROM manager did support Froyo however. Any version newer than this will as well (such as the latest available, which is 3.0.2.4). You should either update your recovery to the latest CWM (should support all ROMs) or downgrade it back to 2.5.1.3 (if you will only be using Froyo-based ROMs). Then try flashing a new ROM again.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DON_58:
I dont remeber ever downloading clockworks from anywhere. I just had Rom Manager install the latest version for me but I guess upgrading to the most recent version wouldnt hurt. If my research is right you use fastboot and adb to update cwm right?

You're getting that error because you don't have the ENG HBOOT installed. I think your option is to revert to stock using the PC10IMG.zip method.

Im a bit confused. Read through a thread that said that if you have s-off (which I do) not to flash PIC10IMG because you could end up with a brick depending on the rom and kernal you had.

Your getting that error most likely because you didn't hex edit. Remember this is the original PC10IMG is the stock that first came out on the phone. It's not flashing the the zip because its old. That's why you need to hex edit because you need to trick the system to think your on that same version as the PC10IMG.zip. If you did the gfree method of prem rooting it should let you flash the PC10IMg.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DON_58:
My mistake. I used a method that required gaining a temp root through visionary and then accessing the terminal emulator and entering in some code to gain perm root. Given that I didnt use the gfree method do I now have to worry about having the right rom and kernel and such?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lainvalenajr:
No worries. Yea I think you used unforgivens method which needs hex editing to flash the original stock Rom. No you don't have to worry about those stuff. That one thread you posted... You need ADB or Terminal to edit the system though.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DON_58:
Yeah I know. I just got the stock rom from the thread to use as my PIC10IMG.zip. I dont think I can use that method though because it requires you to have access to the android OS in order to use Rom Manager and hex editor. Only thing I can get into is recovery. What now?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSpam:
Despite the fact that your recovery image is semi-broken, can you see if adb access is possible while in recovery?

If adb works, you can follow this guide up to step 11, which includes the use of a utility to change the version number (thus not needing a hex editor).

However, you need to be careful and make adjustments to the PIC10IMG.zip that you use depending the type of device you have (G2 or DZ).

Edit: You shouldn't need to "root" the recovery image, so only execute the misc_version utility.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DON_58:
Yeah I can still access adb through recovery. I see that the thread says how to downgrade your desire Z. Should that be a problem since I own a G2? I know they are essentially the same device but I understand that using files for a z can create problems for a g2.
