You really can't brick this phone as you can't do anything to the bootloader. Nothing short of pulling the battery while flashing the radio from the engineering image or something is going to brick it.
There have been no reports of anyone killing their phone yet.
Edit: will there be another method? You will have to go to a psychic forum to get the answer to that one.

actually there is a process but i really dont wanan tell anyone how to brick their mytouch slide.. just sees evil, ya know/

please link the guide to which youre talking about
haha

YouTube...
what a wonderful ally! Try googling for a video on rooting this phone. You'll find it there...or check out the ROM BIBLE for links...

Well, even though you should have looked first, here is the link to kingofyo's well done video of Eugene's method. After you have root, you HAVE TO flash the ENG ROM to DOWNGRADE your rom and radio. The link's in the ROM BIBLE, also. But make sure that once you're done with ENG and you flashed your chosen rom, make SURE flash the newest slide radio, also found in the "Bible". Good luck, Chuck...

lol i love how my community service speaks for itself and people recommend my stuff right off ^^

i thought i read somewhere that the NEWEST mt3gs has been patched in our root method.
the new mt3gs has smaller numbers on the top row of the physical keyboard

well i know of people who have already rooted theirs(the new ones) so i wouldnt say its unrootable

And just when I was beginning to lose hope, everything worked.
I was using my program with the "stop after one 'offline'" setting. I'll upload a copy so that others can use it. It's a C#.NET program so you'll need windows and the .NET framework. It should be placed in the SDK tools folder. When your phone is on or starting, click "Run" and it'll take you through a full cycle telling you if it's successful or not (except if you tell it to stop after one "offline", then you should run adb devices to check if it worked or not). If it doesn't work, restart the phone and click Run again once it's far enough through the startup. It's by no means magic and if your phone is like mine, expect to do it many many times for it to work. However it does make it simpler since you only need to press 3 buttons every time you cycle.
"Adaptive timing" makes the program start the loop a second and a half before it detected offline mode last time. I'm not sure if that's any good, but others said that it works better when you loop for as little as possible.

This worked for me on the first try when other methods didn't come through. I'm not guaranteeing it will work for you too, but maybe.... just maybe...
Just unzip the file to your root SDK folder with adb.exe then make sure you have installed .NET framework then run the Autorun.exe. Good luck.

Yup. I had a new one and the easiest way to go about doing it is by keeping the battery cover off, keep loop running and keep going into recovery then battery-pulling if it doesn't work.
It's not exactly elegant, but it lets you get a ton of tries done in a fraction of the time - I was basically fully rooted within 10 minutes of starting after I started using this method.

You can just dl the recovery then it flashes it for you, used it to root my g1 multiple times. Too bad it probably wont work on the MTS....Unless a dev could modify it for us...Would save a lot of trouble with dealing with loop or offline in rec.

YAY I FIXED IT. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I DID.
1. reboot
2. Open and run visionary (with set system r/w after root) checked.
3. After root is complete, click root again (should say already rooted)
4. Open Terminal and sype "su" then enter
5. Type "sync" and wait about a min
6. POWER OFF THE PHONE the right way by holding down the power.
7. After reboot it should work! YAY!!

I fixed it as well but I did differently.. maybe it will help those still having trouble.. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I DID.
1) The first problem I had was I had Visionary 11 AND 12 (+plus) installed and both were set to root on boot. This was just a left over quirk from after doing the perm root since I just assumed it had to be set to root on boot, and after installing Vis12 I forgot to uninstall Vis11. Apparently Vis12 doesn't overwrite Vis11 so having both apps root on boot was a bad thing.
2) So I deleted both visionary apps (When they tried to root on boot I backed out of them and just uninstalled them)
3) Then I rebooted and was still not permrooted (although S was off)!
4) Sooo I reinstalled Visionary 12(+Plus)... and checked root on boot AND the r/w partition setting. Then rebooted..
5) With the lone visionary now installed and working solo it rebooted and ran on root and I was rooted..
So now i"m like, ok.. it rooted with visionary, but I don't want visionary in order to root...
6) So I uninstalled visionary 12 (for the second time) and rebooted and now the root stuck.
I think that visionary 12 needs to run after the first reboot with those two settings checked... run on boot and the partition setting. After that happens once I think it makes the root stick.. or at least it did for me.

I had same issue with S-off but no root. I did the manual method and got S-off but root never stuck. I tried the manual method again and again but when I rebooted the apps would say root access could not be gained. What ended up working was I went into Visionary 12 and pushed the temp root button. Once I had temp root I then pushed the perm root button. It did it's thing and rebooted. Once it rebooted I had root that stuck. Don't know if this will help anyone having this issue but it was the only thing that worked for me. As a side note, it was like seeing an old childhood friend when I flashed Cyanogens bacon bits.

Yea gotta say I don't regret a single minute of searching reading and learning. I just wish I could have had the root and THEN learned how to use ADB simply because I'm an impatient chump at times. Learning how to use it seemed to open up my eyes to things though now I have a better grasp on everything I found confusing when I first came back to browsing the Android forums.

i sent you a pm

I am just curious: if I do this perm root with S-OFF, but keep the stock ROM for the time being, will that prevent potential future OTA's from T-Mobile, potential upgrades to next versions of Android?
Now, I understand that all those "updates" will also be available via these forums but I'm just a tad concerned that all the custom ROM's might have bugs that would prevent everyday features...
I appreciate stuff like overclocking and tethering/hotspot hacks, but I'm more of a "set it and forget it" kinda guy - most likely I won't have time to constantly test new ROM's and report bugs, wait for fixes, etc.
Just wondering if you have any suggestions?
P.S. Although I am not VERY technical with Android I was able to follow instructions around here to reflash stock ROM, but I was in the "emergency" mode - it was "do it or die" situation made me pretty nervous and I hope not to have to do that constantly

I did everything in the video...and I have s-off and the superuser app every reboot...but root won't stick....and yeah..I've tried temp and perm root with visionary r12 and 13....should I start all over again?

Get r13...it gives you an option to temp root or perm root..click on temp root first than click on perm root..let see if that works

How to put cyanogen with visionary?

Hi, I'm sorta a noob with rooting so bare with me. First, what version of visionary should I use to root my device? Will it work after the ota update? What are the chances of visionary bricking my phone or doing anything that would make my phone unusable? Will it put SU on my phone? And now for the main question, how will I get cyanogen on my g2? Thanks for any help!

As far as i know visionary is not gonna brick your phone ,in regard to changing your rom you also need to s/off your phone, and to do that you need to setup ADB on your computer i suggest you read this posts first ,you will find all the answers you are after

After you root and s-off your phone you need to setup rom manager so you will get clockworkmod recovery and you can boot in to that and flash a new rom or kernel through there.
and i am not sure about the question you had about the update.
yes you will get su after rooting.

Ok, first there are already many threads on this subject, so next time you should try a search first,
for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850141
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882546
Next the following links will help walk you thru rooting your phone using visionary r14. I have not had any problems with it, many people have rooted this way. If something goes wrong it is usually operator error. This method is for after the OTA. All needed files and links are in the video instructions.
Visionary has bricked phones before when not properly used, the videos show how to use it properly, use all the same settings in the videos.
This is the visionary method, but works perfectly when done correctly..
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.
Temp root first:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/20/how-to-root-the-t-mobile-g2-htc-vision-visionary-method/
Then perm root
http://theunlockr.com/2010/11/30/how-to-gain-permanent-root-and-s-off-on-the-t-mobile-g2-htc-vision/
Then flash a rom
http://theunlockr.com/2010/11/30/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-t-mobile-g2-htc-vision/
Remember don't assume you know how to temp root properly, follow all three videos start to finish and you should have no problems
Also the video "Load a custom rom" will give you a link to flash your first rom. There are a couple of choices to choose from.
Good Luck.
Editlease see post #32 in this thread for a testimony from someone who just followed the videos and rooted his phone.

Everyones still waiting on gingerbread, but it looks like Cyanogen is in the lead for releasing it.
Any time you flash a new rom you need to wipe data/cache in recovery. Updates to the same rom a wipe is not needed.
As far as what you want in a rom, my suggestion is to start flashing diffrent roms and give them a try. I thought I didnt like sense but I am currently running a sense rom (Virtuous). So you dont know till you try.

1) Don't use Visionary. People have had brick after brick when using it. Use the rage method.
2) There's a beta version of CM7.0.0 out. The devs are still working out the bugs in it.

1)Show me one brick from someone following the videos I posted and Ill take the links down. Yes a lot of people have bricked using visionary, but thats because they assumed they knew what they were doing when in fact they did not. Visionary causes bricks when not properly used, the videos shows how to use it properly. You must follow all the steps from start to finish including the temp root settings they use in the videos.
2)and yes there is a beta version of gingerbread out CM7 but Cyanogen did not officially release this version, and there are so many bugs in it I hardly think a noob needs to flash CM 7.0.0.

Its Rage method and heres a link to the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228&highlight=rage
I recommend you read this thread and make informed desicions, if you know how to use ADB, then this is another method. But if you dont the method I posted above is your other option, it doesn't require the use of ADB.
As far as ADB goes this is something I highly recommend learning, but we all know some people just dont get it. It took me a lot of reading and watching videos to understand ADB. Now that I know how to use ADB its pretty simple, but I remember when I first started with rooting ADB was like reading greek. But I really cant stress enough the importance of learning ADB.

Hahah sorry, i was using swype. And yeah, so what do you recomend, cause i really dont wanna brick my phone for its fairly new.

Oh, and another thing, if i root with visionary or rage, that only gives me root access. But if i flash a rom then i will also have cyanogen? And i was reading, since i wanna oc, whats this kernel stuff? Please forgive my noobish ways

I used the videos to root my G2, there have been a lot of bricks using Visionary but I have yet to see anyone say they followed the videos to the "T" and it bricked there phone. As for the Rage method, there have been almost no reports of bricks from this method, but I have seen a few bootloops (stuck on the HTC screen). It requires using ADB, so if your ok with ADB use the Rage method, if not, you'll have to weigh the risks based on your own ability. My suggestion, watch the videos, all of them and if its something within your skill range go for it.

Ok, get rooted first then you can worry about kernels, I believe Cyanogen 6.1.1 already comes with an overclocked kernel up to 1.42GHz. So all you have to do is flash CM 6.1.1 his latest release, then down load a cpu controlling app from the market like setcpu(which I use) or cputuner(free) and set the parameters you want your cpu to run at.

Thanks, but a boot loop is fixable right?

It usualy is you can boot in to recovery and wipe and flash another kernal or rom. Just have a look at the links that I posted ,you will get all the answers.

Not always hopefully if this happens you have gotten far enough along to put a recovery on your phone, or sometime you can stock recovery factory reset but if those options arn't there guess what you would have to have AndriodSDk installed on your computer with ADB, but you would have to do everything in fastboot mode which is giving commands from your computer to you phone. So it wouldn't be adb because you have to be booted into Andriod to use it, it would be fastboot and run commands similar to ADB, so for this purpose you would have to know how to use ADB. And even then no guarantees. So if you are looking for a guarantee you wont brick your phone there are none, and I wont give you one, these methods have been proven to work if you follow them exactly, mess up and you have a brick.
I know most people dont have $500+ laying around and I know I dont but for me the rewards far outweighed the risk. I just got a pm from another member that followed the videos and guess what he is rooted, he did it today. I asked him to post in this thread with his success story, so hopefully he will.
Here is a quote from him from my PM "it worked! i got so frustrated with adb, i gave it a shot and success!"
Edit: He just posted success his user name is robot_agenda and his post is #32 in this thread.

That has nothing to do with visionary, thats has to do with ClockworkMod recovery, if your phone is powered off and you plug it in to charge it boots into recovery, if you want root you have to deal with this issue untill they fix the bug in clockworkmod recovery. Also the phone shuts off fine unless its pluged in. Everyone with a htc vision phone who is rooted has this issue. as for me I charge my phone while it on so it doesn't bother me.

go into recovery and see if it says S-ON or S-OFF at the top. If it says S-ON then your not fully rooted, and you need to find what software version you have and find the appropriate rooting instruction thread. Thats one thing that can definately be holding you up

Personally I would just redo all the steps to root your phone. If your having an issue removing an apk then the rooting of the phone somehow along the way went wonkers. If you can open a terminal app type "su" and superuser.apk asks to accept it and you have S-OFF. Something is a muck and I would re-root the thing. if you have 2.02/2.10 then unrevoked won't work for you.

Dude I got the whole thing taken care of in like 5 minutes no joke. I checked the HBoot and it said S-On so I googled how to turn it off in the evo. Google took me back to the unrevoked website and I read up on the unrevoked forever page and it literally answered all of my questions and solved them with a simple zip flash. I checked the HBoot just now and it said S-Off. I just tried to change the name of the Htclockscreen apk file to a bak file and see if it changes back. Still a bak file after the hot restart and I got the Aops lockscreen now.
I gotta hand it to not just the Unrevoked team but the entire android community as well. These guys are the best ive seen when it comes to supporting the end user and making sure that everyone has a good time. Their the best community ive ever come across online.
And thanks man, for the help.

I second unrevoked forever. Just a simple flash turns s-off.
Edit: didn't notice op said he got it all worked out. Thought It was a suggestion.

[Q] "Permission Denied" issue and a second question

Hey guys,
I recently began tinkering further with my HTC Incredible to further push it's limits and abilities and have been loving it so far. Last night I came across a youtube video describing how to install/run Ubuntu on the droid and I figured it'd be fun to do "Just because".
What I started out with was an install of CyanogenMod 7.0.0-Inc , radio version 2.15.00.11.19 , and rooted by unrevoked latest version. I had the latest Clockwork recovery and all that jazz. I then flashed in radio version 2.15.00.07.28 and then ran unrevoked forever so that I could do the loopback thing so Ubuntu would install and now I get this "Permission denied" when I try to do anything in the terminal both via my computer ( adb shell ) and directly on the phone.
I can recover to before that point and life is good but it's about a week old and I'd loose messages and modifications I made to my setup since then. Yes yes, I know I should have backed up before then but I was a bit near sighted. I learned my lesson for sure and I'm glad it wasn't something more severe, but anyone have any ideas on how I can figure out what is stopping me or perhaps how to fix it? I appreciate your time.
Secondly , can someone point me to a good article on Radio versions, what they do, and how to pick the "Best one" for your setup? Thanks again!

PS : I can provide greater detail if needed. Just ask questions back.

Woops I forgot one last thing. After unrevoked forever I installed "BusyBox" installer app and ran it. It gave me a successful response though. Not sure if that'd matter or not. Thanks again!

Sounds like you lost the SU app, is it still in you app drawer or no? You can download it from the market if it is gone. Busybox gives you all the basic linux command line tools in one package.
As for the radios all they do is upgrade the firmware for the cell radio which has the possibility to give you a better signal/reception. I used to mess with them on my OG Droid, but they never seemed to improve it that much.

Thanks for the reply. When you say "SU" do you mean "Super User" ? Or is there something litterally called "SU" ?
Just want to clarify so I don't go off on a wild goose chase.

look for superuser in the market.

Oh it's there, I still have that. It's Superuser v2.3.6 Database version 5... Su Binary v2.3.1-ef , which according to it's self is the most recent release. Think I should just suck it up and reflash and redo everything I did and quit complaining? lol

Heh, I figured as much. I'm really impressed at how quick folks are to help around here. It's great. Take it easy folks

For radio testing what I've done is just flashed different radios then looked at my connection strength in settings>about phone. Did this while staying in the same physical location. The lower the dBm number, the better. You can also do 3g speed tests with apps such as speed test, but the results can vary alot regardless of radio just depending on time of day and other variables.

Cool, I didn't know that actually. Thanks!
