As the title:
My device's Hboot is showed as the following image:
Well, my questions are followed:
1 can I perm root my device?
2 If I can't, what can I do?
3 What happens on my device?
4 When I use the software "VISIONary", I click the button-Root Now. Then the screen shows me the message "your device is already rooted". But I can't find the icon "super user" in the menu. What can I do?
thanks a lot!
All G2's can be rooted. Just go follow the steps in the Development forum.

Hello noob question but I just rooted my G2 using the following tutorial. http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
I wanted to know if this also means the phone is unlocked?
if you did S-OFF yes but if you just did temp root then no
How would I check my current status on the phone? Like check if my S is off.

if i remember correctly you can check it in the bootloader
turn your phone off then hold volume down and power key

On that wiki page, there is a section about verifying the success of gfree using gfree_verify.
Best way is to borrow another carrier's sim card. Ask a Friend.
Also if you want to check out if your phone is root. Just download an app that requires root like Shotme. This is what I do.

look at stickied threads.. they are there for a reason, no one should have to go out of their own way to walk you through this when all the steps necessary are already available and you don't want to put the effort into finding them.

your OP post mentioned NOTHING about returning a phone back to stock. all you asked was for your phone to be bootloader locked again,

EDIT: after doing a 5 second google search,

http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html has links for 4.0.4
that wasn't too difficult now.
thanks i also found this http://youtu.be/mIWEM8zBnTM and it works

You need to have radio S-OFF to follow this steps

If you main software version is higher than the version of the PC10IMG you want to install (in this case 1.19.531.1) you have to change the main version number in the misc partition.

What's the main software version? What's PC10IMG?
In case of the original T-Mobile G2 the stock rom is called PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip

Geez, this guide sure is technical...there is a whole lot more there. It reads like it was written by an expert, as a sort of hand notes for what he did so he can follow it again later. It sure doesn't read like a easy-to-follow guide for novices like me.
well to start you were wondering if you have soff? did you root your phone yourself? do you know what guide you used? most of these steps are just reversed from optaining root and soff
you may want to boot into your bootloader (power on while holding volume down) and check your phone
nipqer also has a guide to follow, search the dev section for that, not @ a computer so can't easily link it to you right now but it is called something like "return to stock with broken digitizer) of course it will work even if your touch screen is fine

Some one should please help me. I gave my friend my HTC G2 for a research work. Some days later, he returned it to me pleading that i should forgive him. He mistakenly deleted my G2's Operating System and every other thing in it. Right now the phone is just blank. It boots up to the bootloader and displays the HTC Logo. Please, I am begging for any body with any solution to this. PLEASE I URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP. THANKS
Were you rooted prior to this? Do you know what was done to make this happen? Can you boot to bootloader at all?
See if this helps at all

Yes I can boot to bootloader and the phone was rooted prior to the deleting stuff. It was rooted with super one click. When I opened my sd card, I saw Superwipe+4ext. When I confronted him yesterday, he said he just downloaded the stuff but didn't use it. I suspect he used that Superwipe+4ext to wipe out my phone because when I went online to read about this software, I was convinced that he used it. Thanks
The superwipe is safe to use, can you still boot to recovery?

OK what? Urch make your own topic. Dont rob other's topics....
gromky, tell us about your phone: Is it rooted? Is it S-OFF? Do you know anything about your phone at all?
Hi,
I am been researching for few weeks now. Being just an android user and a beginner level android developer, I am kind of lost in trying to solve my issue. I bought a Xperia Play. It is carrier unlocked. The main issue is the internal memory which keeps getting filled up from time to time, that makes me sacrifice some less used but important apps. I would like to make use of my phone more efficiently and utilise it to its maximum potential. Request someone to help me achieve this by helping me remove these apps.
Thanks
you have to root your phone first and u will find a tutorial im the development section... And after that you can use titanium backup to remove those apps
Hi,
Thanks for the info. But I am kind of lost when I went through the forum. Can you please guide me a specific one? Thanks.

You could unlock your bootloader. You can do this here: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
This enables you to flash custom Kernels and Roms. Although you don't need this if you only want to root your phone, but in my experience custom roms and kernels are a great advantage if you want to get more out of your phone
The rooting thread would be this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325334

Thanks Bombasti, but the unlock boot loader from sony mobile does not work for phones with IMEI numbers greater than 14 digits. Further, I also tried SuperOneClick but I keep getting the errors in Step 1 stating that the "rm failed for /data/local/tmp/boomsh. No such file directory", Step 2 also returns similar result. Can you help. Thanks.

This is not correct. You just have to enter the 14 first digits. So it should work for your phone unless there are other restrictions (e.g. from your phone provider).
Did you try it with the first 14 digits?
Also did you run SuperOneClick as administrator? I have no idea how SupoerOneClick works, but the error says that it can't remove a directory that doesn't exist. Maybe you can create the dir on your phone to fool the program?
Greetings,
Bombasti
-----------------------EDIT:---------------------
I checked the SuperOneClick thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682/
The R800i isn't listed as compatible device, what doesn't mean it's not compatible since the list is incomplete. But I remember that it didn't work for my phone either ( I tried it some time ago). I solved the problem through flashing an already rooted rom. Later i user Cyanogenmod which rooted from the beginning. But this needs an unlocked bootloader first...

This seems too easy. Does it work on our device?
You searched to find your answer before posting, right?
If you mean did I search for Kingo in the Xperia ZL forum, then yes, no hits.
I see it works for others but I'm not sure about ours as I see no mention in the developer sub forum.
Thanks for the non-answer.

Well, it did. It worked fine a few days ago, today I unlocked my BL to see if I could. I relocked it, restored my TA, and tried to root again using this method. Now it fails root with a script error. Thats all it says, script error. Any idea's?
I want to try to root my phone, with Kingo root. The phone is already with the bootloader unlocked, after i followed those steps : http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
The phone is C6502, model number 10.3.1.A.2.67
What do you think, guys ? Would this method work for ?
Thank you
They just updated the program to 1.0.9 for Sony devices that where getting a script error, like mine was after I unlocked boot loader. Give it a try, it cant damage any thing.
Kingo root enquiry for Galaxy Tab3 T211
Sorry for jumping into this tread but I would like to know how Kingo root works. Is there a specific route I need to follow to get this to work on my Tab, switching off, boot up or do I just plug it into my PC with Kingo running?
Sorry again for jumping into this thread.
does this method work for 4.3?
