People should stop complaining when something wrong happens with the visionary method. The rage method is much more reliable... Worked the first time for me, and honestly it's less complicated.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortlived:
I think paul wishes he never added a perm root option. If you have any doubts use the rage method it only about 4 lines of code...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
This is the visionary method, but works fine.

No adb needed.

Follow the videos to a "T", remove visionary and superusers from you phone if you already have them installed from a previous temp root before following the videos, start fresh, follow the videos starting with temp root then onto perm root then onto flashing a rom. Do everything just like the videos start to finish and you should have no problems.

Here's a link to a previous thread on the same site:

and I know of one other thread that was locked by MOD's

EDIT: For noobs this post is not referring to the video links in the post above, those video links work perfectly for rooting your phone. This post was referring to a link that someone had posted on this thread and that the forum mod "TheRomMistress" removed for malice links.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny_ringo_wvu:
Temp root worked just like video.

During perm root I didn't get the correct error message after using the .ko file. Mine read:

insmod: init_module '/sdcard/wpthis.ko' failed (Exec format error)

The instructions and video state it should read:

failed: (Function not implemented)

In light of this difference, is it safe to proceed to the next step (#7)?

If not, do I need to correct what I've already done?

Any and all help is appreciated.

Update:

Seems to be because I'm running 2.2 on a Desire Z and this is set up for a G2 on 2.2.1
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbmg:
I too rooted through the videos off of theunlockr.com and achieved a permroot successfully. I'm not sure if others are not following directions well, or if the app is screwing up on its own, but more than a few people have semi bricked to fully bricked their phones using visionary r14. With that being said I'm greatfully appreciative of what that program did for me.

IMHO, I would take a few days to read through other posts and set up adb and root using the rage method, as for there is no way in hell you can screw it up copy and pasting the codes.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
I used VISIONary the first time (followed instructions perfectly) and it messed my phone up - still booted and everything, but couldn't get permroot no matter what I tried. Finally took it back to the store (was within my 14-days) and told them it was randomly rebooting, so they swapped it out. Came home and did the Rage method in about 10 minutes and it worked perfectly - rocking the Virtuous ROM ever since.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny_ringo_wvu:
I appreciate your responses. I didn't have any luck with rage (tried it several times first). Then I tried the unlocker guide. Then, I stumbled upon this guide:

http://androidforums.com/desire-z-a...locking-your-bell-desire-z-newb-friendly.html

I don't know if it has anything to do with the Bell branding, but it worked the first time I tried it. Anyone struggling might give it a look.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
If you don't use the correct wpthis module for the kernel running on your phone, then it won't work as you've found. You're right that that is the "wrong" error message. It is "safe" to proceed but it has failed to unlock the NAND write protection, so your changes won't be permanent (i.e. you will have lost root again after a reboot).

I recommend using the gfree method to root/S-OFF, as per the Wiki, which means you don't have to choose the "correct" kernel module because it does that for you - http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php...cess_.28Permanent_Root_.2F_.22Permaroot.22.29

Anyone know where I could get a protector for the camera lens? Or how I would go about making something to protect it myself? I've had my Wildfire just over a month and its starting to scratch already. Thanks
[Wildfire Accessories] nemuro:
Look for a 3M protective film for the screen, special for wildfire. Mine came also with a small circular protective film designed to protect the lens.

Add on top of that a silicon case and your phone will last a lifetime. Unscratched, anyways.
[Wildfire Accessories] Michealtbh:
My phone is already protected with a silicone case and screen protector :) The closest thing I can find is a 3M Vikuiti Screen Protector, is this the same?
[Wildfire Accessories] nemuro:
Yes. That's the one. The downside is you will have frequently the surface covered up in grease from your skin, when you talk.

[Desire HD General] duderde:
I know this is my first real post on the forum, but I'm getting a new phone soon and can't decide between the DHD (which is by the way a cool hommage to stargate ;) ) and the HD7.

The DHD has a better display and the superior CPU or at least an up-to-date CPU in a smaller manufacturing process with a newer dedicated GPU. The possibility to insert a bigger sd-card is an advantage as well.

The HD7 does have a nice operating system and I do think it will develop in a perfect one as MS is committed to it and a lot of big companies and independent programmers start developing software for Phone 7. And for the last I don't know maybe 5 or 6 years I had a Windows Smartphone and was actually quite happy with them.

So for me the best way would be to get the DHD and put Windows Phone 7 on it.

Is there any way this could be possible?

And are there any other facts that should tip me to the one or to the other side?

Thanks in advance and Greetings
[Desire HD General] mancuk29:
Welcome .. this has been covered a

Few times unfortunately no its not possible!
[Desire HD General] malex1:
Why buy a phone that you can alter almost all parts of phone to your liking, and use whatever apps you like, and then alter it to a win7 phone, that restricts you to MS screen and apps that you cannot alter to your liking?

If you prefer Win7 buy a Win7 phone.

If you are prepared for possible phone failures by adding win7 rom (if and when it is available/possible) to Android phone, then buy DHD.

Well...... altering it to dual boot other system is the kind of altering I would really like! :D

i just got my new MT4G ... its my first android phone so im not familiar with the ROMs and customazation around the android community. Im from the MAEMO community. YES, nokia N900 :D - great phone. We had our times.

i first got the HTC HD7 from tmo... and personally dont like it. so after 4 days of trying it out i exchanged the phone for the MT4G.

now im going hardcore on this... is there a sticky thread that a first android user must know? how do i root this device? can i do a SSH server/client on this phone?

== first thing i want to do with this phone is change the appearance... need some guides... thanks guys.:D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nutzzer:
I'm on the same boat. I'm new to the android community and have been doing massive research and have tweaked the appearance to what I like and want. My next move is to look into rooting my phone but don't even know where to start. There is temp root, perm root, different roms ie cynogen etc......backups.

I believe they have such a thing with a one click root but not sure if its available for the MT4G yet.

Anyone would like to point us to the right direction please do so...Greatly appreciate it.

I am also new to all of this for the most part and my only question is how I go about creating a nandroid backup of my phone? I know I need a recovery image or something along those lines (again noob lol) so I'm just curious how to go about getting it, etc. *continues looking*
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lghorn:
Just a quick reply (limited time)...

I've had this, my 2nd Android phone (had the Vibrant for a couple of wks before trading when the MT4G came out) for a few wks. You can find all the info you need in the MT4G forums: perm rooting, backups, custom ROMs, etc. READ a lot and you'll learn a lot.

Before perm rooting use Titanium Backup to back up your apps & data, then install ROM Manger, flash Clockwork Recovery, and make a nandriod backup of your stock ROM before attempting perm root. After perm rooting, make another nandriod backup. You'll then be ready to flash a custom ROM, an overclock kernel, etc - whatever you wish. They key is to backup, backup, backup.

ROM Manager is your best friend!

The forums & threads here will tell you how to do everything.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsbbq:
What if we permrooted before making a backup? I have not installed clockwork recovery yet. Would it be better to unroot then use Visionary to Temp root to install Rom Manager then clockwork recovery to do another backup? Then Permroot?

I was under the impression you had to have permroot to install and flash clockwork recovery.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
I am a long time user of Windows Mobile, and can't figure out why people fancy Android so much. What exactly is rooting..? I see a ton of threads about how to root/permaroot, but none of them explain the benefits of doing so.

Thanks for reminding me to backup... i forgot about that...:D

ive been messing with my fone trying diffrent things doing hard core since i permrooted it and forgot to back it up... good thing its still working great.

now i did a backup of the current ROM so guess im on the safe side now (i guess... )

back to playing around with some customizations...

Root, Guides, and the Like

This is my 3rd Android Device. Root access is available after you get S=off. So good job you have an open device.

The development team had some trouble getting the Glacier (Mytouch4G) and the G2 permanently rooted at first. That's why it's called PERMARoot. Now though both devices are totally opened up.

This forum section is quite new compared to the older devices and it takes time for decent guides, how to videos, ROM guides, etc to start popping up. Eventually they end up like the G1 forums and need to be organized.

Someone will eventually post a ROM wiki with all the updated ROM's that start popping up.

ROM- for lack of a better term is like the Operating System that runs on your PC. Modified to any specs the cook likes.

Cyanogen has always been known for making really good stable ROMs and if you are new to the community his stuff might be where to start.

Root- Is development access to the inner workings of the phone allowing modification to ANYTHING that the phone is capable of.

Hope this helps if you guys need stuff answered just PM me. ;)

And backup is available after you install Clockwork recovery. Then boot into recovery and run a Nandroid backup.

As far as I know AmonRA hasn't made a recovery for the Mytouch4g yet, but his stuff is really good too.

Usually really good how to videos are posted at theunlockr.com
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshP84:
I'm just starting this process, and usually do everything with the "back up back up back up" philosophy.

I was just about to download "Clockwork Recovery" (which is different than "Clockwork ROM Manager", right?), but it is saying it is for ROOTED devices only? Mine is stock, out of the box, not rooted, so I'm thinking I should be using this??

Sorry for the newb question...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m3ng:
Root basically mean u have complete control of the phone. With that u can put a new rom. For example, the iced rom, its the same rom as a new mt4g minus useless apps. Plus it has a diff kernel whicg allows u to increase or decrease the speed of the cpu. U can't do any of that if ur not at the admin level/root

Firstly, I'd like to apologise if this has been touched up on before, I did a search but couldn't find much.

Secondly, I've been reading the forums for a while and thought I'd register as to seek help for my little problem...

______________________________

To put it simply, I have all my contacts stored in my Gmail account. After installing Wildpuzzle, I decided to clean up my contact list to make my phone a bit more organised.

The problem, is that when I receive a text message (SMS) from anyone, it does not show up as their name in my Messages app. It simply shows the full number (inc. international dialing code) with no picture and no name.

For example, let's say I save 'Bob' in my Contacts list as: "07123456789". When I receive a text it does not show 'Bob's name, only "+447123456789".

Now, if I was to edit 'Bob's contact card so it was stored as "+447123456789" then it does show his name.

Has anyone else come across this before? I don't really want to have to go through all the phone numbers in my Contacts and put +44 in front and remove the 0.

Thanks in advance.
[Wildfire General] Akerhage:
Its a known bug, has been posted in the wildpuzzle-thread many times. But if you have all your numbers on gmail-account its pretty easy to put "+44" before the numbers on each contacts, it took me about 10 minutes, only having like 90 contacts, but anyway, not that hard to fix with a little time =)
[Wildfire General] Markerton:
Yeah, I had a feeling that this was the case due to the lack-of-response from people.

Hi Guys,

I just want to inform you that, Yesterday I've been able toget the full Arabic support on my HD2 Device (Orignal SMS, Mail, Google Mail, FaceBook, Twitter, Calendar, Contacts....) the only thing I've removed the Intrenet Application and I'm using now the Delphin Browser with full Arabic Support.

I'm using MDJ Froyo Sense Revolution V 1.7

Steps to do so:

1. Download the suitable update based on your Rom from ardoid dot com

(Download the Arabization update only not the Rom it has to be from 5MB to 15MB not more than this)

2. use any root explorer application to copy the content of ".\System\fonts" and ".\system\lib" Only from the downloaded update folder.

3. Restart and Enjoy....

Notes:

1. Don't copy the content of the Framework Folder for me, When i did this, it stuck on Boot

2. for me to work, I've formatted the SD Card and start copying the MDJ Rom from scratch with a new Data Image.

3. Take full SD Card Backup Before start because you may need it.

4. Do it on your own RISK

Enjoy the Full Arabic Support.....
