I know this is a personal preference using task killers. But everyone with some credibility has always denounced the use of these stating they cause prgrams to FC and error messages. The system is known to do a very good job with clearing out its own memory to sustain operation. If you want a program to stop running, it can be uninstalled or frozen

I just want applications NOT to run when I'm not using them... why does "Maps" or "Cyberon Voice" or crap like that need to run? They just drain the battery!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I did what u did and I've been able to get S-Off. Did u check r/w and then hit temp root?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
This is how I did it. My first priblem was actually getting into hboot cuz it looked like it took me str8 to the t-mobile splash screen. Or u can watch the video at theunlockr.com.

Find the updated Visionary file in xda or the unlockr, put the downloaded apk file in the root of ur sdcard. Download linda file manager, and terminal so u don't have to go back to the market. Open linda, find the apk file and install (if u haven't checked install unkown sources, it will ask u, just check it). When Visionary is up, check the third option (which is write system or something like that) then press temp root. After it does its thing, then open terminal (at this time, u should have that root file in the root of ur sdcard to push thru terminal. If u don't have it u can get that root file in the android section for the glacier or at theunlockr.com). In terminal, press su enter. Then cd /sdcard/root. Then sh root.sh. when I wait I get that error message all the time, nothing to worry. After its finished, power off ur phone. What I did was remove my battery for a lil bit, put it back in, and then press volume down and power. U should see the s-off. If a success, reboot phone, go to visionary, then temp root again, finally, perm root. Ur phone should reboot and ur rooted. Still lost, I recommend to see the video at theunlockr.com. It helped me out alot.

Hi,

As I general information, i already rooted my Old G1 and it is running CM 6

-I did exactly what u just wrote down here.

-I have done the Procedure from unlockr.com several times.

-I have download the files again everytime i try to Root Mytouch 4G ( the visionary k14, the Root folder) and moved them to the SDcard all the time.

-I removed the battery, Im checking the RW option on visionary.

-Believe me, I have done this thing at least 8 times from the very beginning, including new apps, new files.

STILL S -ON!..

thi is what i have on my scren after VOL DOWN+power

Glacier PVT Ship S-ON

HBOOT-0.86.0000

MICROP - 0429

Radio- 26.03.02.26_M

eMMC -boot

SEP 27 2010, 11:11:59

And then i have the options:

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

FACTORY RESET

SIMLOCK

IMAGE CRC

I down know what else to try to root this phone!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I hear u. I can't figure why ur still getting the s-on. I had that trouble in the beginning. There is another way but to me its a long way to get the s off permanently. Go to the android dev in the glacier section and look in the bible section. There's a link that should say "Ultimate S-off".

I used the visionary r14 and did a temp root.

and after that, i press perm root.

it rebooted and root access is gone.

what do i have to do to get perm root?

My friend used the same method and got perm root.

First temp root and second perm root.

on my phone, temp root works but perm root doesn't work.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
first of all your friend didn't just press "temp root" then perma root and it was done. to the point of flashing custom kernels and ROMS, it's not possible. thats a lie.

these phones have a built in security system that will reset the phone to a factory status everytime you turn off the phone. That is the "s-on/s-off" that you see scattered through out these forums.

secondly you must turn that off to flash custom objects that will alter the /system folders. i have two links in my signature that will provide assistance with that.

If you are unfamiliar with rooting i would READ till your eyes bleed then wipe away the blood and read some more. Rooting is not for the faint of heart, and can cause alot of heart ache down the road if things go south.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hldc1:
Definitely read every resource you can find on rooting before you jump in. You should treat it as a one-way process. Once you commit, go all the way. I've known a couple dudes in the past to get halfway through and get scared because they didn't realize they were also going to unlock their bootloaders (S-OFF) and they literally froze. Well, they froze, and ended up with expensive paperweights.

Know what you want, whether it's just root access, or if you want to load your device with a gazillion different ROMs. Just know what you want, and then find out what's necessary to achieve it. Better to have all the relevant information in front of you instead of hunting for information after every step.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ULTIMATEHURT:
You temp root, flash eng hboot, then perm root. Then reboot. You can't perm root til you got s off. End of story.

Any idea if the temp root option will work for skype video calls on my touch 4g? I am having issues with one of the developers apps crashing when I try to run video, and he suggests that the phone needs to be rooted.

I have installed the visionary r14 but when i click in temproot it shows me the yellow triangle then disappears and the phone stays black screened....and ideas?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr_718:
I don't think that will work.. some people have tried gingerbreak and its worked for them ram guessing if you have S off. Now if you really want to root your phone for whatever reasons you have, the only method that has been tested and worked is downgrading from gingerbread to froyo. Then you can use either visionary plus or sone other means of rooting. There is somewhere in this forum that has the steps.. trying searching.. there couple of them...

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
There are guides plastered all over the place for rooting your phone. Use a search engine. If you can't figure that out, perhaps you shouldn't have a rooted phone. I'm being serious about that. Rooting gives you permission to tamper with things that can easily break your device. It's not something that should be taken lightly. Do some reading and learn everything you can before taking that step. It might keep you from turning your phone into a paperweight.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OK plasma fan:
Hey guys, first post!! Anyways im new to the evo, rooting, this forum etc. I have had my evo for almost a month. I followed/read forums for advice and info etc. I rooted my phone a week ago, followed by flashing myns warm rls5 with the help of a great friend from youtube and this forum.

Now to the problem, mind you ive searched here and google with no finds: For the last week ive been running myns warm rls5. Yesterday, my phone has started acting really slow on the internet. The phone itself is blazingly fast. The touch sensitivity, messages, downloading apps and music etc is all spot on. Ive tried wifi and 3g, and its weird: some websites pop up instantly such as google. When i try to google "rooting for dummies" for example, it acts like its going to it then just takes forever to download it fully. Each semi large page takes about 5 mins or more to download. Meanwhile, my girlfriend has an iphone4 and just laughs as she downloads the same page on her 3g within 30 seconds. I sold my iphone4 and switched from att to get this phone and so far ive been very satisfied, but as of late this internet thing has me down about the phone.

Heres the details I know ill be asked:

Im on android 2.2, used unrevoked to root, did a full wipe of everything as required before flashing, benchmark via linpack is between 33-35 on wifi and still the slow speeds, im on the stock kernel #15, hboot 2.10.0001, radio 2.15.00.11.19.

Ive tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache, ive already did a full wipe and reflashed the rom and i just cant seem to get the internet speeds back up. maybe its the websites? on my girls iphone and both our computers everything is blazingly fast. im having trouble on forum page downloading on 3g and wifi. hope i got all the details and sorry for such a long post. Dont be too hard on me for anything LOL! thanks in advance ladies and gents!

OH, almost forgot! I bought and installed a "extended 2000 mah battery" from ebay branded GaliliO. Everything was normal after a full cycle of the battery which was installed yesterday morning, it started being slow last night. I threw the stock battery back in and its still slow. Im still using the stock battery today and no change. Thanks!

The problem has to do with Google AdSense.

Be careful with 'paint thinner', there is more than one kind. I'd start with rubbing alcohol, then acetone, progress to mineral spirits, then if that doesn't work try some MEK(methyl ethyl ketone). You can quickly melt away any plastics or finishes if you use too strong a product first time out.

Before anyone asks, yes I searched! Looked through numerous pages of crap without any results.

To be quite frank about it, I hate it. It is slower than my phone was previously, and is slightly annoying to me. After rooting and flashing the custom ROM, I seen all the threads about a supposed OTA update tomorrow. I understand I cannot get the OTA update while on a custom ROM.

With the combo of not being able to receive the OTA (if it happens) and not liking Axura, I'd like to return to stock, but I'm confused!
